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

[emranabbas]

anything above 180 is going to be difficult to chase

 

[JattMaula]

Eagle sent flying by Campher!

x2

 

[Rana]

Ireland bringing the England to Pakistan before England does

 

[Ahmed216]

Length bowling right through the over. Afridi will never learn it seems

 

[mominsaigol]

One thing I've noticed these 2 games that no one talks about is mentality.

Just look at Ireland body language and Pakistan body language.

Pakistan is completly absent minded while Ireland players have zero pressure and look like their having the time if their lives?

This reminds of Clubber lang vs Rocky first fight.

Rocky had lost before the first punch was thrown due to averting gaze at the start. Ridiculous honestly

 

[Omer2002]

Any use playing so many pacers

 

[Barragan]

Thank you again babar for intelligent captaincy!

Spinners were doing well and Ireland bogged down, so let's do a babar azam and take them off.

Idiot

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

so after Afridi over.. 190 plus is truly on

 

[lontje]

Game is already probably mentally lost for pakistan / batsmen

 

[Human786]

137/3 in 15 - how lousy is this bowling !!! 137/4

 

[emranabbas]

oh wait isn't shaheen suppose to be the best bowler pakistan produced after wasim and imran khan?

 

[Asad T]

21 from that last Afridi over
Brutal

 

[Rana]

there you go.

Amir gets campher

 

[emranabbas]

well done amir

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Alan Wilkins: "Its a good-honest action from Abbas Afridi"
Whats the definition of a dishonest action?

Just means technically solid,repeatable no frills type of action

 

[Rana]

21 from that last Afridi over
Brutal

One track mind bowling

 

[Energy]

Amir with his experience will be vital for Pakistan.

 

[MenInG]

Amir's experience shows up!

 

[Human786]

141/4 - 28 balls 2 go - go for 185

 

[JattMaula]

Outfoxed by OG!

 

[emranabbas]

need another 1 from amir

 

[Rana]

This is how you bat first when put in

 

[stani_pak]

Will be interesting to see what Ireland finish off with, and how Pakistan try to chase it down

 

[Asad T]

Can Ireland get 190, looks on the cards

 

[mominsaigol]

@Mamoon was making fun of Amir getting destroyed by Siefert

What are his thoughts on this assault by Campher on Shaheen?

Amir git a wicket as soon as you made this . Oof God is so kind.

 

[Human786]

out o this game

 

[emranabbas]

why are commentators saying power hitters are yet to come? what is this what we already are witnessing

 

[mominsaigol]

This is how you bat first when put in

This is how every team bats first in t20. And no Pakistan is not a team. Its a cake club society you see in university conventions

 

[Asad T]

Dockrell comming in and wasting no time, 9(4). Whereas someone like Fakhar takes his time to get in

 

[mominsaigol]

why are commentators saying power hitters are yet to come? what is this what we already are witnessing

Commentary has been trash this series

 

[Asad T]

Commentary has been trash this series

You know its bad when Alan Wilkins is the best commentator. No disrespect to Wilko, but usually he is considered a filler

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Commentary has been trash this series

Even the way they televise cricket from Ireland seems like its a club game. The camera work and all.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan absolutely flat in the field

That 23 run over has deflated them

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Dockrell comming in and wasting no time, 9(4). Whereas someone like Fakhar takes his time to get in

all about mindset.. irish players are not playing to secure their spots for next 10 games

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a shot that is no respect to Naseem

 

[Rana]

I’m actually enjoying this coverage

It feels like I’m standing on the field myself

 

[Asad T]

all about mindset.. irish players are not playing to secure their spots for next 10 games

Agreed, they are a settled squad and don't have their ex players & media bashing them after every failure

 

[PakFan2010]

This was a bat first pitch.

But the coward Babar is afraid of setting a target.

 

[Rana]

Babar looks very concerned now

 

[emranabbas]

All 4 batsmens from Ireland playing at 150+ strike rate we have to match it if we want any chance winning

Will babar or rizwan score a 30 ball 50?

 

[PakFan2010]

Why are Ireland aiming for 200?

Do they not know the par score for T20 is 160.

King Babar told me.

 

[Rana]

This was a bat first pitch.

But the coward Babar is afraid of setting a target.

Well, no

You can bat 2nd too on a road but you have to have belief you can chase 200+

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan better win this.

No better time for Babar and Riz padding.

 

[emranabbas]

Why are Ireland aiming for 200?

Do they not know the par score for T20 is 160.

King Babar told me.

They know babar can't count to 200

 

[JattMaula]

190 looks unlikely now.

 

[Asad T]

looks like the cutters and the slower balls are doing the trick here

 

[Asad T]

190 looks unlikely now.

dont over-estimate our death bowling haha

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar looks very concerned now

When does he not?

 

[mominsaigol]

They know babar can't count to 200

They can't even count to 190, according to babar 160 is par

 

[Rana]

160 up

Slowly drifting out of Babar territory

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Boundaries galore

 

[Asad T]

They can't even count to 190, according to babar 160 is par

They can only count to 178

 

[Asad T]

Ireland lost 2 wickets in 2 balls, still the Irish are coming hard. Great attitude by the hosts

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

23 balls remaining after 17.1 according to commentator.. he definitely visited pub before coming to ground

 

[Rana]

Abbas Afridi is 23?

he looks 32

 

[FearlessRoar]

Babar seems not happy with Naseem Shah, probably he will drop him for the next match

 

[JattMaula]

English are gonna line up "leg stump line" Afridi.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why is Shaheen bowling after getting hammered for 37

 

[JattMaula]

Babar seems not happy with Naseem Shah, probably he will drop him for the next match

Bobby looks like he is from well to do family from pind that can afford ample amount of ghee.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowled Adair by SHAHEEN

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shaheen picks up wickets of tailenders quite comfortably.

 

[JattMaula]

Bowled Adair by SHAHEEN

[Asad T]

Why is Shaheen bowling after getting hammered for 37

Yeah, and Imad has only bowled 3 overs despite being the best eco bowler
a bit baffling

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely shots

 

[lontje]

Every ireland batter coming in has been ruthless, whereas it will be pakistan batting once again that costs the game and the series

 

[Asad T]

What a shot from Delany. Carves Shaheen over cover for 6 and Afridi concedes 49 from his 3 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yeah, and Imad has only bowled 3 overs despite being the best eco bowler
a bit baffling

Despite going for just 21

Saim bowled just 1 and gave 7 and then didn't get any either

They felt with the rain this is a pacers wicket yet the pacers been leaking runs in abundance

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rain rain rain

 

[JattMaula]

What a shot from Delany. Carves Shaheen over cover for 6 and Afridi concedes 49 from his 3 overs

In 4 overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I can even feel how Rizwan will finally perform and clap his way to opener today.

Even a broken clock will strike right at times.

 

[Asad T]

Rain rain rain

It's the only thing that will save paksitan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What's Azhar and co doing in the dug out

 

[Rana]

180 breached

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Despite going for just 21

Saim bowled just 1 and gave 7 and then didn't get any either

They felt with the rain this is a pacers wicket yet the pacers been leaking runs in abundance

whatever they think.. opposite happens.. because their thinking is flawed.. always reactionary decisions rather than intelligent ones

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good cutter by Aamir. All Pakistani pacers should bowl 70 % deliveries as cutters. Just not enough skill or pace to bowl anything else

 

[Asad T]

Argh

 

[Rana]

190 breached

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak want to go off after Rizzy slips

 

[zarak]

I don't get how Shaheen consistently eats sixes from mediocre lower order hitters. So irritating.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

babar asking umpire to call it off.. hahahaha
