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

[Human786]

34/2

 

[RidiculousMan]

Unlike Imad, Amir diving full stretch to go for a catch. This means that Amir trusts his body and fitness.

 

[topspin]

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

Stirling indirectly fired shots at Babar, so he would've been really happy to see the back of him.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

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

but thats not the thought process behind today’s decision.. babar just reacted based on previous game. there is method to his madness.. if you hit a boundary in vacant area , he will put feilder there next ball.. without thinking whether it was an occasional boundary in that area

 

[imshally81]

Another gone

 

[Rana]

Double wicket strike for Shaheen

Pakistan back in this game

 

[Human786]

35/2 in 4 - would they be happy chasing 155-160 ?

 

[Human786]

35/3

 

[topspin]

Neither of Ireland's openers have scored many but at least their playing T20 cricket the right way. Good intent and nice use of the powerplay so far.

 

[Ali T]

Amir takes a running catch.

View attachment 143763

Good catch too!

 

[imshally81]

3rd gone

 

[Markhor]

What an over from Shaheen. So much for the social media rumours that he's conspiring against his skipper.

 

[Ali T]

3rd gone

It was a no ball!

 

[imshally81]

Oh no ball.. What a drama

 

[Human786]

35/3

no ball by Naseem aapa

 

[RidiculousMan]

No ball

 

[mominsaigol]

Nasee. Shah so trash now

 

[emranabbas]

Amir should be given the next over

 

[topspin]

What an over from Shaheen. So much for the social media rumours that he's conspiring against his skipper.

Exactly.

The truth is it's just been a one sided relationship, where Babar has used and abused SSA and then backstabbed him. The cycle has now been restarted after Babar was reinstated as captain.

 

[Rana]

Naseem Shah tripe

 

[Markhor]

Naseem's numbers have been disappointing since his comeback. His control has often been better than Shaheen's with the new ball but he went at 10 RPO against NZ and was expensive in the 1st game.

 

[Human786]

2 T's are key wickets .... wonder if instead of army camp , a intensive catching , fielding & basic bowling discipline camp would have helped Naseem more ? 47/2 in 5

 

[Markhor]

Nothing delivery. Overpitched and wide. Naseem's got to do better than this.

 

[Rana]

This guy better not hide with an injury against England

Apparently Pakistan would have won the 2023 World Cup if he hadn’t been injured

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseem bowling 95mph and going to fence in the same speed too

 

[emranabbas]

Amir needs to come in now

 

[RidiculousMan]

I can see Naseem Shah being the bench pacer in the WT20. Shaheen, Amir and Rauf will be first choice

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir tucked away by Tucker

 

[mominsaigol]

I don't get it? How is Ireland consistently superior to us in PP? We have Bradman opening?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Expecting Babar to score 100 off 49

 

[Rana]

Naseem bowling 95mph and going to fence in the same speed too

He’s hardly bowling 85mph

 

[RidiculousMan]

I don't get it? How is Ireland consistently superior to us in PP? We have Bradman opening?

50-60 runs in powerplay is regulation. But our team is stuck in 2010

 

[Slim]

Wickets lost, no care. Keep pounding. Thats how modern teams play t20 cricket. Someone should tell the supposed former world champions to learn from a minnow team on how to play modern t20 cricket.

 

[mominsaigol]

Expecting Babar to score 100 off 49

Pakistan may win today because Ireland is batting first. If Pakistan was defending game over lol.

 

[Omer2002]

I mean lets be honest..faheem ashraf wudnt do worse than these pacers
.just look at the balance of this team y do u need so many useless pacers and tail starts at number 5 or 6...educated cricketers wud help us

 

[Human786]

55/2 in 6

 

[Rana]

55 runs in the powerplay and these boys hardly get to play cricket anywhere in the world

 

[emranabbas]

I mean lets be honest..faheem ashraf wudnt do worse than these pacers
.just look at the balance of this team y do u need so many useless pacers and tail starts at number 5 or 6...educated cricketers wud help us

Fahim has economically been good in the middle overs last year

 

[Slim]

So you immediately jumped the line which includes Mohammad Ali, Wasim Jnr and Aamir Jamal to Faheem Ashraf?

 

[AAli98]

Who’s in more disarray Pak team or this dodgy cameraman is he drunk

 

[Ahmed216]

Amir has become a left arm off cutters.
Needed Abrar against these players.
This is not first morning of a test match

 

[emranabbas]

55/2 is good score

If we lose fakhar and saim at this score it's no issue

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan may win today because Ireland is batting first. If Pakistan was defending game over lol.

With chasing Pakistan have no choice but to go for it. Whatever the target maybe. But while batting first they comfort themselves with 170-180.

 

[Rana]

Ball of the tournament that by Abbas Afridi

I said it multiple times.

Pakistan will lose 100% of its games unless the team is so trash like Oman, Anytime Pakistan bats first against even a semi decent minnow side, game over.

This team cannot defend

 

[Human786]

68/2 in 7 - good stuff by minnows

 

[Rana]

What a legendary attempt to stop that by Azam Kham

That reminded me of Jean Claude Van Dam

 

[Slim]

LOL @ Azam Khan's keeping. Embarrassing player.

 

[Omer2002]

Grt keeping Azam i must say

 

[ads101]

Naseem has been terrible since return from injury. It’s really hurting our bowling attack.

 

[RidiculousMan]

So you're that old?

 

[MenInG]

To hope that Amir will win you a game in current state is a dream not worth having.

Best we can get from him are some good run free overs - and hope that in a T20 game that creates enough pressure to help in the overall cause.

 

[Asad T]

Azam is not the best keepr

 

[Human786]

to think of it , if somehow IRE can get 180 , would be fun watching the twin beasts Azam & Ifti pouncing on them

 

[Rana]

Lorcan Tucker 24 off 12

He was the weakest batter in this lot

 

[emranabbas]

68/2 in 7 - good stuff by minnows

Still better than pakistsn

 

[mominsaigol]

Ball of the tournament that by Abbas Afridi

Bro this Is a minnow vs a semi decent side.

Guess who's the minnow

 

[Rana]

Azam is not the best keepr

Sunil Shetty attempt

 

[Rana]

Beautiful bowling by Maddy

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

200 is on

 

[Human786]

73/2 in 8

 

[Rana]

Good first over

 

[Human786]

Who is this commie saying T20 is Pakistan's strongest format

 

[Asad T]

Who is this commie saying T20 is Pakistan's strongest format

Probably is our strongest format, it's def not Test or ODI's

 

[Rana]

That was a class carrom ball

 

[imshally81]

Bad line & length by Saim

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Who is this commentator? The Pakistani one

 

[Slim]

I really hope Ireland cross 180, Babar elected to bowl so somehow he could have a lower target. I hope you dont get that

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Naseem's numbers have been disappointing since his comeback. His control has often been better than Shaheen's with the new ball but he went at 10 RPO against NZ and was expensive in the 1st game.

He is an unlucky bowler.

Bowls beautifully more often than not but the wicket column is usually bare.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

babar clown using part time spinner after playing 4 seamers

 

[Rana]

Who is this commentator? The Pakistani one

Faisal Shah

Not sure who he is.

But he’s a good commentator

 

[Slim]

Bad line & length by Saim

Of course a fan hating on Saim. LOL.

 

[Human786]

80/2 in 9

 

[mominsaigol]

Probably is our strongest format, it's def not Test or ODI's

It's not, it's our weakest. The commentators are morons.

Strongest format is Odi for us, granted we're still a trash odi unit, but it's most fakhar who kinda carries and he's useless in t20 unfortunately.

If falhar works and the rest contribute a little we usually win.

In t20 we don't have a single soul

 

[Rana]

Not the worst over by Saim

Gone for 7

Could have gone for 70

 

[Dantheone]

The bowling has been pathetic and so has been the field placing. No plan to control the flow of runs.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Faisal Shah

Not sure who he is.

But he’s a good commentator

Yeah he's quite good better than Waqars and Bazid.

 

[Human786]

Is the local narrative still amazing '' natural '' bowling '' talent '' ?

 

[Slim]

It's not, it's our weakest. The commentators are morons.

Disagree, t20 is our strongest format. We dont stand a chance in ODIs against non-minnow team. In t20s theres still a chance that Babar and Rizwan will get a geeli pitch with low bounce and perform.

 

[Slim]

Hes still learning.
