Pakistan (195/3) secure a 7-wicket victory over Ireland (193/7) in the 2nd T20 to level the series at 1-1

[Ali Active]

babar is scared even against ireland now

 

[FearlessRoar]

Toss Update:

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bowl

 

[Ali T]

I want Ireland to win. But looks like rain might save Pakistan.

Why would you want Ireland to win? Haha

 

[emranabbas]

shadab dropped

 

[Rana]

170 on the board

Get a couple of Pakistan wickets early and then watch this lot fluff this

 

[Barragan]

Shadab dropped for a bowler, which will only weaken the already brittle batting.

 

[emranabbas]

we have 4 pace + saim and 2 spinners in imad and chacha

 

[Ali T]

What a pathetic series this has been for Pakistan.

Irish commentator now saying Ireland and Pakistan match in WT20 will be the decider for the Super 8 position because either of these team aren't going to beat India.

Is this what this team want? To be competing with the likes of Ireland, Afghanistan, Netherlands and Zimbabwe?

Just because an Irish commentator said it does not mean it's true.
I do think Pakistan is just testing players - not the biggest deal in the world I think.

 

[Sher Khan]

Why would you want Ireland to win? Haha

I believe in sportsmanship. Ireland has played better cricket than us.

 

[emranabbas]

Shadab dropped for a bowler, which will only weaken the already brittle batting.

we are still in if imad is played like a propper batsmen need to come in 5 or 6
its no point bringing in imad in the last 3 overs or so

 

[Ali T]

I believe in sportsmanship. Ireland has played better cricket than us.

That's fine I also believe in sportsmanship and being graceful in loss. Doesn't mean I'd want my team to loose ?

 

[Ahmed216]

A proper spinner against the Irish was required. Don’t know why Babar has been so reluctant to play Abrar in LOI’s.
And Azam khan again

 

[Barragan]

we are still in if imad is played like a propper batsmen need to come in 5 or 6

Imad is more of wickets tumbling and he can steady the ship kind of batsman.

Best served as an 8 or wickets are lost rapidly.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rain Update:

As the players were about to come onto the field, rain has made an appearance again and the umbrellas are up. So frustratingly, we'll have another delay

 

[Ahmed216]

Not looking good the visuals.

 

[chinaman00]

LOL

Aftermath of last match when Ireland humiliated Pakistan, Paul Stirling said “ As they are used to the flattest pitches in the world, [our strategy was to] ask them to bat first and see what they can get.” After winning the toss today, Babar was bullied to bowl first rather than call Ireland’s bluff

​

 

[Rana]

Where is the match being shown? Nothing in TNT sports

 

[emranabbas]

I hate to break it to you but just as the players were about to come onto the field, rain has made an appearance again and the umbrellas are up. So frustratingly, we'll have another delay

TNT sports 2

 

[RidiculousMan]

shadab dropped

Good decision. There's not much for spinners

 

[emranabbas]

Good decision. There's not much for spinners

i agree just shocked babar dropped one of the main member of the yaari dosti group

 

[Ahmed216]

Usually in rain affected matches captains choose to bowl first

 

[RidiculousMan]

Scenes right now

Scenes right now

How can the Kids be out with flags if there is rain?

 

[emranabbas]

It has got brighter again and covers are coming off

 

[imshally81]

Why Azam is playing again?

 

[FearlessRoar]

It has got brighter again and covers are coming off

 

[RidiculousMan]

How can the Kids be out with flags if there is rain?

There's not.

 

[Rana]

Why Azam is playing again?

Because he is your best chance to pull off miracles in West Indies

 

[emranabbas]

Why Azam is playing again?

We missed Azam a little because he is a different type of player. He is a game changer. You know that when he is standing, he can completely change the game," he concluded. : babar azam about azam khan few days ago

 

[Human786]

restrict under 150 ?

 

[Rana]

Balbirnie technique perfect to counter inswing

Waits right to the end and brings weight back on to his back foot

 

[Ali T]

Shaheen's line a bit off in the first over.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Balbirne playing as a batter who had just slain Pakistan in the last game. Full of confidence

 

[Rana]

Balbirnie the chapman of this series lol

 

[Rana]

Pakistan crying about the ball just like England do in home Tests

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen bowling a beautiful line and length

Nice and wide for them

 

[Human786]

8 in first

 

[Asad T]

The commentry sounds really has golf commentry vibes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely should have been 20 off the first over

 

[FearlessRoar]

Balbirnie the chapman of this series lol

He will play pull shots against Mohammad Amir's bowling

 

[imshally81]

Very average 1st over and awful coverage

 

[Rana]

That’s it Amir, stay on the stumps

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Beauty Amir

 

[Rana]

Very average 1st over and awful coverage

Feels much better today actually

 

[Asad T]

Generally, I would prefer Naseem to share the new ball with Shaheen, with Amir first change. Naseem just seems to be the most dangerous with the new ball imo

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

contest between two equal teams

 

[Asad T]

Azam Khan makes Stirling look fit

 

[Deewana Mastana]

90mph by Amir down the legside wide

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another lovely line by Amir

4

 

[Human786]

Azam & Ifti - two beasts unleashed at 5 & 6 - explosive , poor hapless IRE , feel sorry for them ! 19/0 in 2

 

[Rana]

Azam Khan makes Stirling look fit

Stirling has beautiful fast hands

Gifted striker

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 more lovely shot

19 for 0

 

[imshally81]

Painful to watch.... County level coverage

 

[Shafi]

Hit our bowlers and they all will crumble, Anything over 170 Ireland will win with ease.

 

[Asad T]

Striling x Azam: not doing anything to help stereotypes that cricketers don't need to be fit

 

[Rana]

looks like an absolute belter track

 

[Shafi]

contest between two equal teams

Ireland is better!!

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Ireland is better!!

probably at home

 

[imshally81]

No speedgun no DRS... Sloppy Camerawork
Ireland should not host any international level cricket

 

[topspin]

Guys don't do this yourselves. By all means follow the game but don't watch this dross team ,who I won't be surprised if they lose to Ireland again today.

 

[Barragan]

Love the aggression from the Irish.

Something the Pak openers are afraid to do

 

[Asad T]

looks like an absolute belter track

And when we bat, it looks like a bowlers paradice

 

[Human786]

27 in 3

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

babar again ignoring Abrar… this guy has become complete joke.. reactive captaincy never works.. he chose to play extra seamer because he is too scared.. unbelievable

 

[imshally81]

Beauty by Naseem

 

[Asad T]

At this rate, it doesnt look like we'll progress past the group stages this WC

 

[Rana]

And when we bat, it looks like a bowlers paradice

160 pitch “we gave away 20 runs too many on this track”

 

[RidiculousMan]

There should not be an international series with a big team involved without proper broadcast, drs and speed guns.

 

[MenInG]

Guys don't do this yourselves. By all means follow the game but don't watch this dross team ,who I won't be surprised if they lose to Ireland again today.

Its fine - you dont need to - but dont spoil the fun for others - some actually enjoy a Pakistan drubbing

 

[Asad T]

babar again ignoring Abrar… this guy has become complete joke.. reactive captaincy never works.. he chose to play extra seamer because he is too scared.. unbelievable

I guess in the UK 4 seamers is ok, especially considering that it just rained. But I agree, they should have Abrar in the XI

 

[topspin]

Its fine - you dont need to - but dont spoil the fun for others - some actually enjoy a Pakistan drubbing

That is true. Will you be watching the Arsenal game?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Food for thought. Azam Khan can probably at least get as fit as Stirling

 

[imshally81]

Gone.. What a catch

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

Stirling gone

 

[Human786]

29/1

 

[Rana]

Hardly been any dot balls in the powerplay by Ireland up to now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Amir takes a running catch.

 

[topspin]

Babar and Rizwan would've enjoyed that one

 

[Asad T]

Funny to see Babar pat Amir's but after taking that catch. I never thought I'd see such scenes considering their past.
