Pakistan (203/0) emphatically defeat England (199/5) by 10 wickets - Series is level at 1-1

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rashid in, real game starts. Missed stumping on 1st ball

 

[PakPremi]

Lol, Eng brought 3 left arm trundlers in XI

Should wrap this up with over to spare

Pak will struggle against their spinners though except Rizwan

 

[msb314]

Finally a good PP

 

[Markhor]

There goes the excuse that Rizwan and Babar can't bat with more intent in the PP.

 

[Ahmed216]

Can’t play spin. No secret

 

[Kroll]

Dont let up now, put the meddle to the peddle.

No mercy!

 

[Kianig89]

A cat has 9 loves

 

[Rana]

World class bowler

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar is playing too many dot balls. Can't afford to do that.

 

[imshally81]

Need to play Rashid with straight bat..

 

[NeVerMind]

Rashid unplayable right now... Mo finished us off in the bat, will it be Rash with the ball now?

 

[msb314]

Rizwan is clueless…

 

[Markhor]

Wrist spinner on, let the heart attacks begin.

 

[Marooned]

Rashid spinning circles

 

[adzzy786]

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.

No just no.

 

[Kianig89]

Blockathon

 

[Ashmal]

Good start by openers but 200 is way too much on this pitch.

 

[msb314]

Good boundary !

 

[Marooned]

The sweep comes out!

 

[Kroll]

Show this rashid his aukaat, put him high in the stands

 

[NeVerMind]

And yet Riz hits back to back boundaries to Rash

 

[Kianig89]

The conjuring a boundary

 

[imshally81]

Finally back to back boundary in Rashid bowling

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Good comeback by Rizz. Rashid is a world class spinner.

 

[Bilal7]

What a bowler. Along with Shamsi, he's one of the best two spinners in the world.

 

[Marooned]

Amazing sweeps

 

[TeymurBlake]

Great boundaries. But Rashid is becoming a difficult bowler to face.

 

[Kianig89]

So far not letting that RRR climb up

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar is playing too many dot balls. Can't afford to do that.

Babar should play with a strike rate of 500

 

[Marooned]

What a bowler. Along with Shamsi, he's one of the best two spinners in the world.

Shamsi is nothing special. Shadab is far better. I'd take Shadab over Rashid too.

 

[Asif321]

Atleast we have Shan so their is hope

 

[PakPremi]

A cat has 9 loves

Just like the England Lions

 

[imranraf]

Rashid will be the key for England. We need to play him out sensibly

 

[Kianig89]

3 more over of Rashid play him sensibley

 

[NeVerMind]

Both these matches, you cannot blame Babar and Riz for starting slowly

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

So far not letting that RRR climb up

As long as any of them is on crease, it's in the bag. If both of them get out, we can't even score 150.

 

[adzzy786]

Babar should play with a strike rate of 500

Hahaha. I know some people are mad

 

[Ashmal]

Babar should play with a strike rate of 500

And finish the game as well...

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan is clueless…

He is not just trying to play shots on good bowls

 

[Kianig89]

Curran should be tonked

 

[Rana]

Both these matches, you cannot blame Babar and Riz for starting slowly

They’ve kind of got their act together after becoming complacent

 

[TeymurBlake]

Babar is looking to robotic. Needs his fluency back.

 

[Marooned]

Babar doing a nice net session here.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Difficult phase starts, from overs 7-13 is where they lose plot

 

[Kianig89]

Aaqib javed legs shaking anyone

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar should play with a strike rate of 500

No, at least 135-140

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[imshally81]

Babar is looking to robotic. Needs his fluency back.

+1

He is in pressure and try too hard..

 

[NeVerMind]

They’ve kind of got their act together after becoming complacent

At least they took on the valid criticisms on board but it helps that you have the ability...I doubt you can say the same for the middle order but loved to be proved wrong

 

[Kianig89]

Good over for Eng

 

[JibranAnsari]

7 to 15 overs is the period where we lack.

 

[hitthestump]

The number 1 t20 player in the world and the best WK batsmen in Pakistan's history.

It's a disgrace to say Sharjeel should replace either one of these guys.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar is playing a match losing selfish knock.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar playing with the same SR , doesn’t seem to have the intent.

 

[NeVerMind]

12 runs ahead at this same stage...

 

[ChTab]

Crowd chanting Babar Babar but Babar playing at a S/R of 130 without any sharm while chasing 200

 

[msb314]

What I’m struggling with is how Rizwan suddenly stops timing the ball in the middle of his innings

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar is playing a match losing selfish knock.

Same as always

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar is playing a match losing selfish knock.

Just hit Rash for a beautiful boundary

 

[imshally81]

What a beautiful shot by Babar

 

[adzzy786]

What I’m struggling with is how Rizwan suddenly stops timing the ball in the middle of his innings

You do realise the power play is finished , so he has to be a lot more careful

 

[NeVerMind]

What I’m struggling with is how Rizwan suddenly stops timing the ball in the middle of his innings

Maybe his fitness... Hasn't had a rest for while... Plus he gets no support from the other end

 

[imshally81]

Good rotation of strike

 

[Kianig89]

Aus scored 55 from 24

 

[ChTab]

Babar is so pathetic I hope we have guts to drop him in T20I's unless his S/R improves. If Pak lose this match today it will be on Babar's selfish 120-130 S/R but obviously his fans think that he is better than Kohli & ABD combined.

 

[Marooned]

Babar looking for a quick single like he is on 99.

 

[adzzy786]

Crowd chanting Babar Babar but Babar playing at a S/R of 130 without any sharm while chasing 200

Just relax dude

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar happy going at 120 SR

 

[imshally81]

9 runs in Rashid's ove4

 

[Kianig89]

2 over of Rasj negotiated

 

[MenInG]

 

[adzzy786]

They should see out Rashid and attack on the other end. Nothing wrong with this approach

 

[Nasty Naz]

Regardless of the match outcome, this is the approach that needs to be encouraged. Particularly in the powerplay. Good to see.

 

[Marooned]

Babar isn't even trying

 

[Markhor]

We were 83-0 after 9 in our last match too before we imploded.

 

[Suleiman]

Love this new kit. Raises awareness about the floods and also am a fan of this blue/teal shading in our kits.

 

[mrtaim3]

We still need 2 boundaries in every over

 

[adzzy786]

Babar isn't even trying

Clearly they seeing out Rashid. Why attack him when he is causing issues. 9 runs of his over is good! What’s with the wrist slitting

 

[TeymurBlake]

They've slowed down a bit here Pakistan. Need to keep the intent.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng still have the upper hand
