[Darkrai]

This should be a fun chase....

 

[The_KING]

Pakistan will lose by more than 50 runs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Any catch can be dropped. This happens in cricket.

Yep. I'm just saying a fielding coach isn't going to change that.

 

[shamaan]

England should win this comfortably way above par.

 

[Rana]

We haven’t gone past 150 in the last 3 games

The careers of some players are on the line here

 

[Usman Chadda]

We don’t have the batting to win this

 

[Marooned]

Just when you think Khushdil can't get any more useless, he costs us some 30 runs with his stupid drop.

This guy is having a free ride for wayyyyy too long.

 

[Kroll]

C'mon Pakistan, get in tae them!

 

[Justcrazy]

Its game over for Pakistan.

 

[Mp812]

This is a blessing in disguise. Real match experience chasing 199. The approach, experience will hold good at T20Wcup

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think afrter wc PCB should make shadab khan our captain.

 

[Darkrai]

Anyone else wants Azam Khan?

The guy easily outperformed Iftikhar, Asif, and Khushdil in the last PSL. And it's not like these guys are good fielder either.

 

[srh]

why Pakistan is wearing blue kit? looks more like Indian team

 

[Rana]

This is a blessing in disguise. Real match experience chasing 199. The approach, experience will hold good at T20Wcup

This is their 2nd string attack as well

Babar and Rizwan have chased 200 against South Africa

 

[Marooned]

This is a blessing in disguise. Real match experience chasing 199. The approach, experience will hold good at T20Wcup

I will only consider it blessing in disguise if it ends Khushdil's career for good.

 

[Rana]

i think afrter wc PCB should make shadab khan our captain.

They will make Rizwan the captain

 

[Darkrai]

Can we still make changes to our WC squad?

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan hell bent on disproving the theory that if you bowl first, you win the match in T20s these days...

 

[Thephenom]

There’s nothing wrong with loosing, but to not learn lessons from those loses and keep making the same mistakes is even worse!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

We haven’t gone past 150 in the last 3 games

The careers of some players are on the line here

Lol. I don’t think so..many times the last time has happened for those careers

 

[Vorador]

Dairh inch ki boundaries + a rocket outfield. What a spineless coward Rameez Raja is

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We will make 165 max, that is it, we will have openers getting 50 at run a ball and then few tulla here and there and grand total of 165.

 

[Rana]

Dairh inch ki boundaries + a rocket outfield. What a spineless coward Rameez Raja is

YouTuber chairman

 

[Kroll]

This is their 2nd string attack as well

Babar and Rizwan have chased 200 against South Africa

We can do this!

 

[Marooned]

Well our fielding has gone to the dogs.

There's literally very few clean takes. Ground or aerial anymore.

 

[boomboomcheema]

How can Pakistan approach this target ?

 

[Rana]

Rizwan to score easy runs against Willy

He plays him very well

 

[Kroll]

Well our fielding has gone to the dogs.

There's literally very few clean takes. Ground or aerial anymore.

Think they wanted everyone bowled to keep the consistency.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I will only consider it blessing in disguise if it ends Khushdil's career for good.

Dropped an easy catch today, seriously that’s not even school level lol.

 

[Shadow_786]

InshAllah we will chase this.

 

[shamaan]

Can we still make changes to our WC squad?

Yes you can.

 

[shamaan]

Anyone else wants Azam Khan?

The guy easily outperformed Iftikhar, Asif, and Khushdil in the last PSL. And it's not like these guys are good fielder either.

Yes I was saying he should be in the squad.

 

[Kroll]

Target of 200 under lights in Karachi against England?

This is the theatre for when our boys become heroes.

 

[NeVerMind]

We only manage to chase 180 odd because we sent Nawaz in early and it worked...Need out of the box thinking today as well even to get near the target

 

[Marooned]

What we should learn from England is you literally have to be reckless in pp.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Baber needs to come one down, ideal should have been Rizwan/Shan

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I expect them to come close and lose by 20 runs

Chance of winning only possible if someone makes 50 ball 100

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan did chase 200+ twice in 2021 including Karachi. Let's see if they can do it here.

6 runs off 2 balls is a great start.

 

[NeVerMind]

Riz with two boundaries already

 

[t_kaay]

I have a feeling we might be in for a Pakistan special here.......

 

[Kroll]

Excellent start.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Watch out for soft dismissal for Babar. He's been terrible.

 

[PakPremi]

So Babar or bust and Rizwan or Rust.

 

[IAJ]

You can’t blame the pitch today, at least.

 

[Marooned]

Watch out for soft dismissal for Babar. He's been terrible.

Indeed. Can't believe it's the same guy who never looked like getting out.

 

[Rana]

David Willy is such a jobber against Rizwan it’s unbelievable!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I have a feeling we might be in for a Pakistan special here.......

I hope that special one is not from any of the duds who perform 1 out of 100 chances.

 

[NeVerMind]

Dawson on early... Should know how to play him as been in the PSL

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Indeed. Can't believe it's the same guy who never looked like getting out.

Glimpses of UA ? I hope he doesn't go that way.

 

[Marooned]

When Nawaz came on in 2nd over. Salt hit his 1st ball for 6. Very 1st ball!

 

[Rana]

No aerial attempts so far

 

[Marooned]

Glimpses of UA ? I hope he doesn't go that way.

Nah. Besides kinship, he shares nothing with him.

 

[Marooned]

Maaaaan. What are these nudges meant to achieve???

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

No risks lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Maaaaan. What are these nudges meant to achieve???

So predictable. Block block block after a good first over

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Baber is playing for his average.

 

[TeymurBlake]

They need to look for boundaries.

 

[Robert]

Super late hitting by Captain Beard!

 

[Rana]

11 more overs of spin

They need to score 130 odd against 7 more overs of seam

 

[boomboomcheema]

Hit some Sixes Babar.

 

[AAli98]

Rashid & moin will eat Babar for brekky he should cash in on the pacers l.

 

[t_kaay]

I'm usually all for building an innings but they need to take risks today......only 2 men out and we can't find the boundary?????

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Baber is playing for his average.

Legend Rizwan already said "Jo imaandhari se nahi khele gaa wo zaleel hoga".

 

[NeVerMind]

No timing for Babar... Hitting every ball to fielders

 

[TeymurBlake]

These dot balls are gonna hurt.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It not powerplay, it is pick the fielder.

 

[Rana]

Babar slogs for 4

 

[Snowflake]

Yeah...keep smashing it into the ground Babar. God forbid you play a lofted shot in the PP

 

[Rana]

Keep going

Not bad

 

[NeVerMind]

2 boundaries for Babar in that over... Seriously hoping that brings him back into form

 

[t_kaay]

Yeah...keep smashing it into the ground Babar. God forbid you play a lofted shot in the PP

I actually agree with you for today......the game calls for these two to take risks and find boundaries

 

[srh]

english fast bowlers are even worst than Pakistan's; they have nothing

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They playing cricket of 90s, dot, 4, dot.

 

[mrtaim3]

Thank God we are seeing slogs in powerplay

 

[boomboomcheema]

Need a few overs in succession..Run rate only 8.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar playing like he is chasing 150.

Like why do they make it look so difficult to hit big shots. Every team does it. You're not being graded on your technique or how aesthetically pleasing you look playing a shot. If you can slog it, then slog.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Wowwwwww Nazar naa lagee

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

What we should learn from England is you literally have to be reckless in pp.

It's not really being reckless though, you only have 20 overs to negotiate so how likely are you to get bowled out? Just play with some adventure and stop playing with fear.
