Pakistan [182/5] defeat India [181/7] in thrilling 5-wicket victory in Super 4 of Asia Cup

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Giving 8 runs of last two balls was criminal too.

Indeed.

 

[dildilpak]

Fakhar is down on confidence today after that terrible fielding. Needs to find his groove fast!

 

[NeVerMind]

And posters here say open with Fakhar......

And drop Rizwan...it beggers belief

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

My memory of him is blasting our spinners in CT 2017.

That's when you don't know the weakness of a new player. Nevertheless, no ball saved him in that game

 

[10sion]

8th Over - India scores 8, Pakistan scores 6 - Advantage India

 

[Major]

fakhar to get out bowled or stump

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

8th Over - India scores 8, Pakistan scores 6 - Advantage India

When you will say "huge advantage"?

 

[sweep_shot]

Bishnoi is being quite economical.

2-0-8-1.

 

[Shafi]

And posters here say open with Fakhar......

Exactly!!! One of the rubbish player I have ever seen. Even Imam is better than this hack.

 

[emranabbas]

Boring innings

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

fakhar to get out bowled or stump

Won't he surprised if he gets hit-wicket , looking how he has been so far today.

 

[ExpressPacer]

FZ needs to start attacking. Go big or out!

 

[Major]

jeyauyee bhuttoo being played in stadium

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Fakhar seems to be going through the Hasan Ali phase these days.

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

thank god. fakhar is out.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Fakhar gone

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar is down on confidence today after that terrible fielding. Needs to find his groove fast!

Fakhar flops again

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Thank you Fakhar, hope we never see you again.

 

[Sunzi]

Honestly. I cant say what I want about Fakhar. Useless.

 

[Ab Fan]

Fakhar Zaman is very scratchy at the start. That's a problem for Pakistan. He needs time to get himself in and you already have two anchors at the top.

 

[imshally81]

FZ needs to start attacking. Go big or out!

Ok out..

 

[Major]

thank god fakhar is gone. Slow and pathetic batting.

 

[JibranAnsari]

match ka mujrim: fakhar zaman

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar should be use as pinch hitter like Greatbatch or Kalu

 

[Major]

Babar sending in Nawaz, this is interesting guys.... Very intersting move by him

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar seems to be going through the Hasan Ali phase these days.

Spot on..

 

[Markhor]

Awful night for Fakhar finally ends.

Need Ifti or Khushdil to fire big time.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

FZ goes...

 

[syd_pak]

Why is this guy even in the team. Really pathetic

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar seems to be going through the Hasan Ali phase these days.

Whole CT'17 stars fading away apart from few. Amir, Sarfaraz, Hasan and now Fakhar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

so can india and pakistan still meet in final?

 

[Cricket World]

Hack is out

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar is out. Is this the game?

 

[Marooned]

Now we basically have 1 batsman. Ifti and that's it.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Don't see our batters scoring 120 in last 10 overs. The gulf in class of batters between the two sides is appalling for Pak fans.

 

[NeVerMind]

But... But... We need Fakhar and Sharjeel opening so we can't even score 100!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Nawaz coming in. I am just stunned.

 

[imshally81]

Why Nawaz?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Wrong move, Babar just copying Rohit. But Nawaz is no Jadeja with bat.

 

[Hextro]

"Rizwan should be dropped.", "open the batting with Fakhar instead."

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar shouldn't be in T20 World Cup.

 

[Ab Fan]

Fakhar is like Ishan Kishan. On absolute patta, very dangerous but very frustrating aside of that.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Atleast we won't lose by 10 wickets like we did at the World T20. #Moral victory

 

[syd_pak]

I mean how do you play like that at this level. 8 runs given away, almost runs into another player and then scores slow

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wasted 3 whole overs. Is he is in WC squad? Plz say NO.

 

[Marooned]

Loool let's hope our copycat tactics work.

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar is down on confidence today after that terrible fielding. Needs to find his groove fast!

Fakhar shouldn't be in T20 World Cup.

Asia Cup already gone but we need to bring back Shaan

 

[Suleiman]

Our batsmen’s IQ is in single digits.

 

[10sion]

9th Over - India scores 9, Pakistan scores 10/1 - Advantage India

 

[JibranAnsari]

should have sent in khushdil. what would he do when rrr is 16?

 

[Markhor]

Surprised Nawaz been promoted ahead of Khushdil.

 

[sweep_shot]

115 runs are needed from 11 overs.

 

[Shafi]

so can india and pakistan still meet in final?

Don't want to loose 3 matches in a row. If we loose today we better lose any of SL of Afghan.

 

[Ashmal]

Shocking game for Fakhar....

 

[Major]

Nawaz striking

 

[imshally81]

6666

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya getting a phainta

 

[Sunzi]

What a strike lol

 

[Marooned]

It was a beautiful batting wicket and Babar could've made merry here had he stayed.

 

[Markhor]

Shot Nawaz. Looks like he's been given license to blast.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Is Nawaaz an all rounder? The obvious tactic is pak want a left hander to attack both legspinners, idea is right in theory

 

[Nasty Naz]

Woah Nawaz. What an outstanding shot.

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz!
Huge 6.

 

[JibranAnsari]

india was 93/3 after 10

 

[jusarrived]

Openers are usually one dimensional, they don't do well down the order. I think Pak messed up Fakars career by forcing him to no3

 

[Dingolfy]

Don't want to loose 3 matches in a row. If we loose today we better lose any of SL of Afghan.

This match is not over yet and Pakistan only lost 2 wickets.

 

[Major]

Babar was furious with Fakhar

 

[Marooned]

Is Nawaaz an all rounder? The obvious tactic is pak want a left hander to attack both legspinners, idea is right in theory

Well yeah, on paper he is an AR.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Whole CT'17 stars fading away apart from few. Amir, Sarfaraz, Hasan and now Fakhar.

This is the shelf life of our players. Has been the case for over 20 years.
Amir and Sarfraz performed in 1 match each in CT though. Wouldn't say they were the stars.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is like Ishan Kishan. On absolute patta, very dangerous but very frustrating aside of that.

No!!! Not just an international material. Keep getting selected due to connection rather than performance.

 

[JibranAnsari]

this would have gone above rizwans hands

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

107 needed from 61

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Whats hardik doing bowling short pitched rubbish? cmon pitch it up

 

[MRSN]

this would have gone above rizwans hands

then he would have called the physio.

 

[JibranAnsari]

where will the big over come from?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Whats hardik doing bowling short pitched rubbish? cmon pitch it up

Got plethora of wickets in last game with this approach.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Wasn’t that a no ball

 

[Major]

this would have gone above rizwans hands

not really. Rizwan is not a bad keeper.

 

[10sion]

10th Over - India scores 5/1, Pakistan scores 9 - Advantage Pakistan

After 10 overs - India 93/3 Pakistan 76/2 - Advantage India
