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

[Kianig89]

Single digits now

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

8 from 8, BAZBALL getting treatment

 

[Kianig89]

Wides galore

 

[zn426]

Almost there...also Wood, just bowling wide isn't going to win you the match. You're going to have to bowl at the stumps.

 

[Kianig89]

Gift Buttler getting ready 4 tomorrow

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch dropped !

 

[zn426]

Starting to think Wood got paid off here. Never seen a man bowl wide so many times.

 

[Kianig89]

Wides easing it out

 

[t_kaay]

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

I called it in the 1st over

 

[Champ_Pal]

England's pop gun attack put to the sword. Well deserved thumping by Pakistan.

What's with Waqar's accent, lol. Some words sound so forced.

 

[Ahmed216]

No reverse sweeps or scoops or paddles. Just PURE talent. Risk free demolition

 

[Slim]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] missing in action again. LOL, boy has no escape since the past one year. His idols keep getting pounded everywhere they go and Pakistan keeps on outperforming his boys.

 

[NeVerMind]

These two just broke their own opening record!

 

[Kianig89]

This was not expected hopefully series will go down to the wire

 

[Bilal7]

Thank you Wood for that 17-run overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

How many centuries has Babar and Rizwan made in partnership ?

 

[alone1213]

I don't understand why people are surprised rizwan and babar has done this before quite a few times.
They will keep doing it again and again.

Best T20 combo ever.

 

[Slim]

WORLD RECORD boyyssss!

 

[Markhor]

This will give Pakistan the world of confidence, especially Babar after his Asia Cup slump.

The wheels were coming off in the field with drops and misfields, and you feared the worst, but this has been a superb counterpunch. Only way you'll beat England is to fight fire with fire.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

How many centuries has Babar and Rizwan made in partnership ?

7th today

 

[Kianig89]

Waiting to read and listen Ex English players analysis

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Poor Rizwan. If he had faced 5 more balls, he would have scored his century as well.

 

[Rana]

Alright boys.

See you at 3:30 tomorrow

Congratulations Pakistan

Well batted Babar/Rizwan

 

[Kianig89]

Tie

 

[imshally81]

Score is level

 

[Ashmal]

I called it in the 1st over

Well done....tbh I expected Pakistan to lose by 20-30 runs

 

[NeVerMind]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] retire sister

At least he has admitted his mistake and is happy for the team unlike some.... What a win!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan win by 10 wickets here ! !

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Signature Cover drive to finish off in style.

 

[imshally81]

Yesss

1st game- England lions creamed Pak
2nd game- Pak won because it’s England lions

Classic Mamoon

Ch Tab and boomboom also disappeared predictably

 

[Marooned]

What a mauling!

 

[Markhor]

Astonishing scoreline !

1-1. Back in this.

 

[Justcrazy]

I also did not expect this , Babar played excellent innings here , his second hundred in 20 20.

 

[Marooned]

Statement win what a response!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Great game.

They did it all by themselves.

When they click its awesome.

When they don't we look predictably poor.

However, an amazing chase.

Well worth the watch.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

We deserve this humiliation postponed by 24 hours.

 

[kingusama92]

Brilliant chase.

That's one way to make sure the middle order doesn't mess things up.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What an incredible chase. 203-0 for the unquestionable best opening partnership in Pakistan.

Incredible stuff and feels great to stick it to England.

 

[Robert]

Extraordinary match.

Amazing cricket by the PAK openers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan middle order again not exposed , openers ensured that by batting through.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Happy to have to shut up.
Unreal score, last thing I expected.

 

[NeVerMind]

Riz needed two lives but Babar didn't give one chance to the opponents... Champs, both of them!

 

[Slim]

Thats how you brutally dominate an opposition. Hammering of highest order.

 

[Robert]

Extraordinary match.

Amazing cricket by the PAK openers.

 

[shujaatraza]

Pakistan Zindabad

 

[Madplayer]

What a thrashing lol

Humble pie for everybody asking for Rizwan and Babar heads. Such calls were hilarious to begin with because beggars cant be choosers. There is nobody in Pakistan to replace these two and there replacements arent even needed because they are truly world class.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Thought was wicket was difficult and we gave too many runs, these two took the attack back to England, great win, just need to see others bat and bring it home, we know these two are world class.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Happy to have to shut up.
Unreal score, last thing I expected.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pakistan middle order again not exposed , openers ensured that by batting through.

We need them to bat as well, Rizwan and baber should both take two games off, not together though and let others get some exposure too.

 

[mrtaim3]

Pakistan middle order again not exposed , openers ensured that by batting through.

India had the same thing for quite a long time. They now one in shape of Pandya. We need couple in our middle order who can be relied upon. I have no faith in the current lot. Shadab has the potential to become one.

 

[OneManShow]

Well Aqib can eat a ......

 

[Sunzi]

Very good. Only serves to highlight the dependency on Babar though.

Babar or bust.

Still excellent viewing. Top knocks.

 

[Smbhayi]

Anyone else noticed that Rizwan has changed the name that appears on his jersey? It used to be RIZWAN. Now, it's: MUHAMMAD

Classy.

How it's classy? If it's religious POV then didn't he put dirts on those words?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

What this games tell Babar and Rizwan? Risk-taking is essential to T20s. You will win more games than lose.

What this game doesn't tell Babar and Rizwan? Your middle order is still abysmal.

 

[MenInG]

Talk-nah type thing....

 

[Mamoon]

Rubbish captaincy by Moeen.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Rubbish captaincy by Moeen.

same as ur existence

Actually this won't help pakistan at all, here openers does all the work, middle order yet to fire..

 

[NeVerMind]

Rubbish captaincy by Moeen.

Had to take a jibe against someone from a Pakistani background, didn't you?

Butler would not have fared any better...

 

[Rellu_Katta]

has any other pair carried their bat ever?

Babar-Rizwan could have done it 3rice ... they have done twice atleast .... any other ?

 

[Smbhayi]

Riz needed two lives but Babar didn't give one chance to the opponents... Champs, both of them!

He did give by Sam Curran on boundary line which goes to six..

 

[Smbhayi]

Had to take a jibe against someone from a Pakistani background, didn't you?

Nah, he just don't like Mo..

 

[Vorador]

How it's classy? If it's religious POV then didn't he put dirts on those words?

Superstition is the new classy

 

[Markhor]

Actually this won't help pakistan at all, here openers does all the work, middle order yet to fire..

If they were 0-2 down in the series, the middle order would be under even more pressure to deliver.

Khushdil should be dropped for his fielding alone though.

 

[mrtaim3]

Rubbish captaincy by Moeen.

You clap with both hands.

 

[Titan24]

Babar and Rizwan as showed have the skills to go with the same approach while setting up the target as well but, they just need to adapt to this approach as a benchmark

 

[Shaddy86]

"You can't afford to bowl off-spinners to them" Moeen Ali, The captain, The Off-spinner.

Outshhhhhhhhtanding

 

[Rohan]

Missed the game

Well played Pak, congrats

 

[cric_man]

Happy to have to shut up.

Yup... god bless our team.

Snatch defat from the jaws of victory one day, and then coast along to an insurmountable target the next.

- Pakistan wins.
- England loses.
- Babar and Rizwan show that they are the best in the world.
- Rauf bowls superbly well.
- Moeen scores a glittering 50 at a SR of over 200.
- The matches have gone off without a hitch and Pakistan proves that it can host cricket again.
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] cries about Moeen's captaincy being the reason for all this.

[Rohan]

Rizwan scored 77 runs on leg side and 11 runs on off side

How was the bowling by Eng?

I did not watch the game so just curious

 

[Bilal7]

How it's classy? If it's religious POV then didn't he put dirts on those words?

What dirt is he putting on those words? His first name is Muhammad like millions of other Muslims and he has a second name that he goes by. Now that he's the best batsman in the world, he's going by Muhammad instead of Rizwan to honor the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him).

Classy.

 

[Bilal7]

Rizwan scored 77 runs on leg side and 11 runs on off side

Hardly any bad balls. Rizwan was moving around a lot and hitting balls to the leg-side.
