Pakistan (201/7) secure a convincing 37-run victory against Bangladesh (164) in the 1st T20I

[Rana]

Pakistan need to find a team to carry on smashing after Bangladesh leave

Maybe invite UAE if they are up for it

Horr maaro!!

Horr Kutto!!

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

Out.

200/7.

 

[Asif321]

Harris should be credited for shifting the momentum when Pakistan were 2 down

 

[Asif321]

Shadab good innings . Could have been a collapse after Nawaz

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan finish at 201/7 after 20 overs.

BD need 202 to win.

 

[Asad T]

Good knock from Shaddy. Much better than parchi Azam khan

Hesson even dropped Azam from IU, he preferred this random Ghazi fellow over him

that says a lot

 

[Asif321]

Surprisingly this is first time Pakistan scored 200 in Lahore

 

[Asad T]

Apparently its pak's first time scoring 200+ in a T20I in Lahore

Quite a baffling stat, in Hessons first game

 

[Rana]

I’ll put it out here now.

If Pak lose this

The guy to blame is Shadab Khan

 

[Hellion]

Apparently its pak's first time scoring 200+ in a T20I in Lahore

Hesson very lucky that they have to face only BD bowlers.

Kirsten was unlucky. Netravalkar and Kenjige was step too far for PAK batsmen

 

[mominsaigol]

I’ll put it out here now.

If Pak lose this

The guy to blame is Shadab Khan

For bowling?

 

[Asif321]

Horr maaro!!

Horr Kutto!!

What is next assignment for Pakistan?

 

[Rana]

Apparently its pak's first time scoring 200+ in a T20I in Lahore

Quite a baffling stat, in Hessons first game

They were 12-2 after 3 overs

That’s 188 runs in 17 overs

 

[Hyder]

Khushdil doesnt deserve a place in t20s. He can play odis as of now. He takes too many bowls to start.

Farhan
Saim
Fakhar
Hassan
Agha
Haris
Shadab

 

[Asad T]

From 2/5 to 201 not bad

 

[Rana]

What is next assignment for Pakistan?

Maybe 3 T20s in Bangladesh

And then 3 T20s in West Indies

 

[sweep_shot]

From 2/5 to 201 not bad

Definitely.

I think 201 should be a winning total against BD. I would be surprised if BD cross 160.

 

[mominsaigol]

Maybe 3 T20s in Bangladesh

And then 3 T20s in West Indies

WI isnt hard to bash, their bowling is rubbish. Infact they might be the perfect opposition for pakistan since batting wise they can give high targets

 

[Rana]

They are on the right track

But they are still behind world standards

This could have been a 250+ score

 

[Rana]

WI isnt hard to bash, their bowling is rubbish. Infact they might be the perfect opposition for pakistan since batting wise they can give high targets

They have a game in Florida

That’s a 260+ venue

 

[Asif321]

Faheem opening bowling for Pakistan looks depressing

 

[The Bald Eagle]

@Devadwal thanks for calling Hassan Nawaz a tulleybaz...kindly call other Pak players something too

 

[sweep_shot]

Good six from Tanzid.

 

[Rana]

@Devadwal thanks for calling Hassan Nawaz a tulleybaz...kindly call other Pak players something too

Terrible month of May for him

 

[Asif321]

Long time no see Hassu

 

[sweep_shot]

Good start for BD. 11 off the over.

Ground is lightning fast.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol stupid to start with Faheem

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Great gesture

 

[Asif321]

Hassu looks in rhythm

 

[sweep_shot]

Emon is out.

BD - 14/1 (2 overs).

 

[Asif321]

May be Ali raza needs to be fast tracked

 

[mominsaigol]

@Devadwal thanks for calling Hassan Nawaz a tulleybaz...kindly call other Pak players something too

He said this for agha as well

 

[cricfan432]

Lol we’d have lost to bang even with old team, bang have better power hitters

 

[Asif321]

Abrar

 

[Rana]

Tanzid timing it beautifully here

 

[PakPremi]

Salman repeating his mistake bowling Abrar in power play

[cricfan432]

Get tanzid out, otherwise i see bang winning

 

[sweep_shot]

Good hitting from Tanzid.

 

[Rana]

Wow Pakistan needed that!

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 37/2 (4 overs).

Tanzid is out.

 

[Galla]

Get tanzid out, otherwise i see bang winning

Sure and pakistan will be No 1 economy in the world.Just listing imaginary things like you did.

 

[Asif321]

Vibes of 2017 Hasan Ali

 

[Hellion]

Hasan Ali celebrates right in his face. BD continue to be timid against PAK

 

[Asif321]

Hassan seems better new ball bowler compared to first change

 

[Justcrazy]

37 / 2

4 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh need 164 runs in 93 balls.

Required rate is above 10

 

[mominsaigol]

As I said Pakistan will win

 

[cricfan432]

As I said Pakistan will win

but can they win against better oppositions? I think pak lacks one spinner and one middle order batsman

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 40/2 (5 overs).

162 more to win from 15 overs.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

2 guys voted for BD to win..they need to see a phycratist asap

 

[Dhakar Pola]

The day BD gets banned from cricket, I can start watching cricket in peace like I used to watch in the 90s

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan on top here , Bangladesh need big effort to comeback here.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 45/2 (6 overs).

 

[Rana]

Ramiz exposing his lack of cricket knowledge again. He doesn’t want Faheem bowling the first over, rather the best wicket taking option bowling it.

Most modern T20 coaches+managements recognise that the first over in a T20 innings is one of the easiest to bowl…and that’s why the safer option is to get one of your weaker bowlers to bowl it…which lessens their tally for the middle overs and cannot be targeted for extra runs as much.


It’s stupidities like these as mentioned by Ramiz that have been the reason why Pakistan struggles so much as a T20 side with Shaheen bowling the first over leaving them bare in the middle, with guys like Nawaz and Shadab being taken down so much more easily in their 3rd/4th overs

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Playing odi in a T20 chasing 201..hum nehi jitega Humara marzi

 

[Rana]

The easiest overs to bowl in T20:

-First over of the match
-First over post powerplay
-First over straight after drinks break mid innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Litton is key here , he is the one who has to hit boundaries here.

But it swings the most in 1st over too

 

[sweep_shot]

Agree.

 

[Rana]

What a crap bowling by Shadab

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Pakistan on top here , Bangladesh need big effort to comeback here.

What we need is to take the bat away and give manure to these players so they can come back Home and plant some rice. Our soil is very rich because of the water brought soil, these players can be very useful in getting the countries' food storage up

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Horrific over from Shadab as far length is concerned. All 6 Either wide or Short.. Minimum 20 Runs against better Batsmen in T20 cricket

 

[mominsaigol]

but can they win against better oppositions? I think pak lacks one spinner and one middle order batsman

Against better oppositions, no

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 61/2 (8 overs).

141 are needed from 12 overs.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

What a crap bowling by Shadab

Minimum 20-25 Runs against better Bat

 

[Rana]

But it swings the most in 1st over too

But it swings the most in 1st over too

It’s not a ploy modern sides think too much of

Their ploy has always been containment=wickets during to building pressure

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need to start slogging. RRR is around 12 now.

 

[cricfan432]

Bang are good players of spin, we need to bowl pace

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 70/2 (9 overs).

132 more are needed from 11 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is 12 , BD need to get a couple of big overs here to remain in the game.

 

[Rana]

Surprisingly this is first time Pakistan scored 200 in Lahore

It’s because we were told there are no Pontings and Viv’s waiting in the domestics!

 

[cricfan432]

Litton turning up the heat

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 89/2 (10.4 overs).

103 are needed from 9.2 overs.

 

[ads101]

Shadab again frustrating. I’m convinced this team is stronger with him in, but this is nowhere near his potential. Bowling poor today again, getting lucky he’s not getting hit for more.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan are in a bit of trouble here

 

[Rana]

Liton used Shamim and Mehidy so well

Why hasn’t Khushdil bowled yet??

 

[cricfan432]

bowl khushdil instead if shadab

 

[sweep_shot]

Litton is out on 48.

BD - 100/3 (12 overs).

 

[Hyder]

Pakistan team is better with shadab
We tried khushdil chacha irfan and everyone of them brings less utility than shadab

Shadab needs to sort out his bowling but he is must in t20is.
