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

[Rana]

193 having been put in to bat by Babar

 

[Asad T]

like that the umpires are continuing play and with that, Ireland make 193

 

[lontje]

I feel for the pakistan fans sitting in the rain to watch this hammering hahah

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

will rain save Pakistan today?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan NEED 210 TO WIN from 17 overs D/L

 

[Rana]

Pakistan will have to get the record total on this track

 

[JattMaula]

Rain clearly affected last 3 balls.

 

[Savak]

A lot of players in the team are past their expiry date. The decline in fitness standards and lack of energy is clearly showing up in all departments

 

[topspin]

Ireland win probability is 70%

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar: Allah rain please

 

[PakFan2010]

If Babar and Rizwan see off the new ball, we have a chance.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Ireland win probability is 70%

If Rain doesnt wash out second innings then Ireland is favorites to be honest.

 

[Human786]

will be a washout but pathetic performance by Pakistan . Any1 who still thinks this is a decent T20 team needs help - saying this even if they chase it in 15 overs !!!

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan NEED 210 TO WIN from 17 overs D/L

Expect people like Major to complain and say we lost due to DRS, Batting has been great.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

193 having been put in to bat by Babar

that small spell of last over rain will spice up wicket and it will suddenly become bowling friendly for Pakistan batsmen.. wait and watch

 

[Markhor]

Economy rate of pacers - 10.12. Economy rate of spinners - 7.00.

Guess who bowled their full quota ? Yet people were hailing Babar as a revived captain after PSL.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

If Babar and Rizwan see off the new ball, we have a chance.

Come on man, why would you want to see off new ball in T20? that too against a minnow? Even Irelands scored 60 runs in powerplay against world's best bowling attack today.

 

[lontje]

New lows for pakistan cricket and new records given to the oppisition every couple of games, thanks babar and friends

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If Babar and Rizwan see off the new ball, we have a chance.

Hahaha hahaha.

See of the new ball.

Haha.

They can see off the match too.

Cant bowl them in the power play, cant bowl them at the death, spinners have a small window to operate in. Last 3-4 overs they would've belted the spinners with no fear of losing wickets.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sterling saying this is a par score

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar to say ‘we gave 20 runs too many’ in the post-match conference.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This lad Delaney is a player.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lovely to see The team , coaches & management having an enjoyable holiday in Ireland .

 

[shortbread]

PSL stars have had a rude awakening to modern T20 batting by a minnow team.

Hope this is a wake up call and they respond in kind. Need to start this chase at 10 an over!

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

This lad Delaney is a player.

everyone is player when Pakistan plays

 

[apnapind]

But what can baber do here last game spinners went out of ground this match pacers went for plenty i mean what can he really do cricket is a hard game to be perfect at last game everyone was saying go with pacers dont bowl spinners lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is why i was wondering about the thread "Who are our 4 pace bowlers" . 4 pacers is overkill because batsmen can attack all 4 these days especially SENA teams.

 

[Rana]

Sterling saying this is a par score

It’s a par score but too much for Pakistan

 

[DeadlyVenom]

everyone is player when Pakistan plays

Still you need the balls and the heart to come out and swing the way he does.

 

[Rana]

Hoping for a Saim special

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sterling saying this is a par score

If Babar had scored 190 he would have 32 teeth open.

 

[Energy]

This is where Babar has been ultra disappointing. Can't read the game on the field and too stubborn to adapt.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

will it be declared darker day in history of Pakistan than 9 May? apparently kakul’s boys trained this team..

 

[Rana]

What’s the DLS required score at 6 overs?

 

[emranabbas]

But what can baber do here last game spinners went out of ground this match pacers went for plenty i mean what can he really do cricket is a hard game to be perfect at last game everyone was saying go with pacers dont bowl spinners lol.

He can bat at strike rate of 150+ in the powerplay

since he's the best batsmen in the world should Be a piece of cake for him

If Ireland can do it vs world class bowling line up like pakistsn I don't see what's stopping babar and rizwan

 

[Markhor]

But what can baber do here last game spinners went out of ground this match pacers went for plenty i mean what can he really do cricket is a hard game to be perfect at last game everyone was saying go with pacers dont bowl spinners lol.

Fair point and I didn't see the first match. But you have to judge the situation in front of you - spinners were containing the Irish batsmen well.

Imad should've completed his quota and Saim deserved more than one over.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Should be a comfortable chase.

 

[Usman Chadda]

PSL stars have had a rude awakening to modern T20 batting by a minnow team.

Hope this is a wake up call and they respond in kind. Need to start this chase at 10 an over!

They might be minnows, but they are professional in their approach and clear in their thought process.

193 against Australia, England, South Africa and India on this ground is below par, considering the dimensions of the ground. They have players who can race away to 80-100 in the powerplay itself against these dibbly-dobbly Irish bowlers.

Pakistan will most probably lose this.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is where Babar has been ultra disappointing. Can't read the game on the field and too stubborn to adapt.

He can't do it either on or off the field either

Neither can the rest of the support staff or the players.

 

[Rana]

Humongous six second ball

He wanted one first ball!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Big 6 to open up the account. A dream for Babar Azam

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rain would have made this an easy pitch to bat on. PAK should chase this comfortably now.

 

[PakFan2010]

What kind of cricket ground is this?

Boundaries are tiny.

 

[Rana]

Gone 3rd ball

That’s the end of Saim’s career as a T20 opener I think

 

[Energy]

Shabaash Saim. Good innings of 6. Full of promise.

 

[Rana]

Classic RizBar at the crease now

 

[Ahmed216]

Shabaash Saim. Good innings of 6. Full of promise.

Strike rate of 200

 

[AAli98]

Hoping for a Saim special

We all live in hope can you give me an example innings of a Saim special please?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Don't know why he pulled off. It was there for another 6

 

[PakFan2010]

Hahahaha

Babar and Rizwan are batting together in the powerplay.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Time for Babar and Riz to hit tuk tuk 50s.

 

[Ahmed216]

Learn to play straight Saim

 

[Rana]

Beautiful 4th ball to Babar

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Gone 3rd ball

That’s the end of Saim’s career as a T20 opener I think

I hope not

 

[Markhor]

Six and out. Again trying to be too cute. Guy doesn't learn.

And here comes PP's favourite pairing at the crease.

 

[Rana]

We all live in hope can you give me an example innings of a Saim special please?

Haha RizBar fans getting hyped over the failure of a junior cricketer

 

[Rana]

Poor umpire

That was a wide

 

[Energy]

Bobby is too loose.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar clueless against the in seamers. This has been a trouble for Babar throughout WC23 and Australia Test tour

 

[shaz619]

The fielding is so atrocious, especially off Amir’s bowling; they got about 15-20 more then they should have.

Overall a dangar performance and the captain’s and his boyfriend are the biggest nikkameh

 

[Slim]

Are we in for a series loss, my bros?

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar is being made to look like an amatuer.

 

[Markhor]

And the pitch now becomes a bowling paradise.

Another item to tick off your Pakistan cricket bingo.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Poor umpire

That was a wide

Umpiring has been biased in this series so far

 

[RidiculousMan]

0 (3) for Babar. Another timid start

 

[AAli98]

We all live in hope can you give me a example of a Saim special please?

Haha RizBar fans getting hyped over the failure of a junior cricketer

Has he played a 60 (30) yet?? Sure the guys had about 15 chances so far

 

[imshally81]

Six and out. Again trying to be too cute. Guy doesn't learn.

And here comes PP's favourite pairing at the crease.

At least he didn't waste too many balls

 

[RidiculousMan]

It's raining again

 

[Rana]

One trick pony

 

[imshally81]

Edged n 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar wants to go off but the umpires aren't giving in...yet!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What's the dls score after 6

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

i dnt remember irish playing 3 consecutive dots in their innings

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ireland bowling is hardly at full strength either with Josh Little in the IPL.

 

[emranabbas]

rizwan ready to go for a big shot

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Saim Ayub had the chance to kill off the RizBar opening pair, instead he just resuscitated it.

 

[Slim]

History to be made today, another world record probably to be broken under King Babar.

 

[imshally81]

Good field placement by Ireland

 

[RidiculousMan]

I would send Iftikhar or Azam in next. To kill these dibbly dobblers
