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

[NeVerMind]

Pak 87 off 10...once again better England in both games

 

[PakFan2010]

Last few overs have been poor.

 

[boomboomcheema]

So playing at Run Rate of 8.7 while chasing 10 RPO. Thank you Babar.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Rizwan took the Asia Cup criticism to heart.
But this is where they slow down.

 

[adzzy786]

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

It looks good, I really like the colour combination

The World Cup one looks like a water melon with the yellow and green

 

[Kroll]

113 from 60 needed

 

[ask_analyse_act]

This is where they slow down and lose their way.

 

[imshally81]

Good comeback over by Dawson

 

[Kianig89]

113 from 60 10 wickets

 

[adzzy786]

So playing at Run Rate of 8.7 while chasing 10 RPO. Thank you Babar.

Just relax dude! They playing well!

 

[Marooned]

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

And seeing out Dawson too?

Babar isn't playing a good knock here. It's not wrist slitting.

 

[Ahmed216]

This is a belter. But we are already running out of steam against the spinners and the batsmen to follow don’t inspire much hope

 

[boomboomcheema]

13 runs in last 12 balls.

 

[msb314]

Need to up the ante now

 

[Markhor]

Can't afford too many of these slow overs. Only four from it.

 

[Suleiman]

Let Ali Haider open and demote Babar to 3. He’s out there playing test cricket as usual.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Babar is not made for opening. The run rate I’m afraid is just not good enough.

 

[msb314]

Really hope Babar gets a hundred here

 

[adzzy786]

Just relax dude! They playing well!

Been a good over from him so have to play balls on merit .. we are very well placed at the moment

 

[Marooned]

RRR is 11.3

 

[t_kaay]

Pakistan gonna win this from here

 

[topspin]

Just tuning in. Is Babar Azam playing for milestones again?

 

[Rana]

Aqib being proven right so far

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Its very hard to hit 10 an over consistently for 20 overs.

Even harder for new batsmen.

Which is why when a team hits 200 you back them to defend it.

Even with the start Pakistan has, they need to score at 11 runs per over to win.

 

[adzzy786]

Pakistan gonna win this from here

Don’t get too ahead of our selves

 

[Kianig89]

I fancy eng

 

[badsha001]

Rizwan has always been the match winner mostly...can't say the same about Babar.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Just one boundary in he last 3 overs.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Last 2 overs 13 runs only

 

[Rana]

They needed to bring Moeen in now

 

[ChTab]

Babar is such a coward, not even trying to play at higher S/R while his partner another accumulator playing at a S/R of 175.

 

[PakPremi]

Babar and Rizwan again gave a good start, too bad our middle order will mess it up.

 

[Ahmed216]

Aqib being proven right so far

Talk about yourself. Rizwan is proving you wrong yet again

 

[Rana]

Really well batted Rizwan

 

[Marooned]

I feel we have a mountain to climb.

 

[imshally81]

Moeen ali is still to come

 

[adzzy786]

Babar is such a coward, not even trying to play at higher S/R while his partner another accumulator playing at a S/R of 175.

Look at the overall total. He’s playing well!

 

[imshally81]

50 for Rizwan

 

[ChTab]

Rizwan has always been the match winner mostly...can't say the same about Babar.

Riz is a match winner. Babar is a match loser

 

[NeVerMind]

What a six by Babar! Over the bowler's head

 

[topspin]

50 off 30 balls from Rizwan. This is more like it! Not the run a ball stuff from Babar.

 

[imshally81]

6666

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Last 50 balls England made 100 runs

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

rare scenes, Babar hitting 6

 

[ChTab]

Look at the overall total. He’s playing well!

yes according to his delusional fans, he played well in WC semi final as well vs Aus

 

[daytrader]

Basically a T10 from here with all wickets in hand. 110 is more than achievable in 10 overs

 

[Marooned]

Babar finally comes out of Net practice mode.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Eng still have the upper hand

yep score is too big but we are still in game for now.

 

[imshally81]

Btw.. Babar is ignoring Saqlain

 

[PakPremi]

Babar is such a coward, not even trying to play at higher S/R while his partner another accumulator playing at a S/R of 175.

So u want both of our batsme to give their wickets away when they scoring at good rate in partnership,fully knowing only tyese two will do bulk of scoring if Pakistan wereto chase the total.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Btw.. Babar is ignoring Saqlain

Just like Sehwag ignored his doosra

 

[Rana]

These mediocre bowlers are bread and butter for Babar and Rizwan

 

[NeVerMind]

In two minds with this performance... Loving how the openers have responded to the criticisms... But if these two take us home, the middle order escapes scrutiny and remain untested again...

 

[imshally81]

12 runs in last over

 

[ChTab]

Babar finally gets some sharam

 

[boomboomcheema]

100 needed in 9. Too much to do. Imagine a wicket falling now and new batsman coming, how will he start hitting Sixes from word Go to maintain the rate.

 

[imshally81]

Just like Sehwag ignored his doosra

Hahaha hahaha

 

[Ahmed216]

These mediocre bowlers are bread and butter for Babar and Rizwan

Every bowling line up is bread and butter for Rizwan in this format

 

[Marooned]

So u want both of our batsme to give their wickets away when they scoring at good rate in partnership,fully knowing only tyese two will do bulk of scoring if Pakistan wereto chase the total.

Well they need to accelerate now or the game is done.

 

[PakPremi]

Aqib being proven right so far

I would say wrong so far but maybe mess it up later.

 

[adzzy786]

100 needed in 9. Too much to do. Imagine a wicket falling now and new batsman coming, how will he start hitting Sixes from word Go to maintain the rate.

Well they need to accelerate now or the game is done.

Do you want them to score 30 runs an over?

 

[Kianig89]

We might lose with 10 wicket in hand

 

[msb314]

Rizwan is just jogging along

 

[Rana]

Big shot coming

 

[Ashmal]

100 needed in 9. Too much to do. Imagine a wicket falling now and new batsman coming, how will he start hitting Sixes from word Go to maintain the rate.

When chasing 200 you don't have any choice

 

[daytrader]

100 needed in 9. Too much to do. Imagine a wicket falling now and new batsman coming, how will he start hitting Sixes from word Go to maintain the rate.

Just like the England players did, that's their role. If they can't hit boundaries from ball one than they're not good enough for the role.

 

[Marooned]

Do you want them to score 30 runs an over?

Around 12 will be a good start.

 

[ChTab]

Every bowling line up is bread and butter for Rizwan in this format

Siri Lankan attack as well?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Playing for a 50 , Babar needs a hard task coach to kick his ***. Not Saqlain the beta boy

 

[Rana]

We might lose with 10 wicket in hand

They are targeting the mediocre bowlers who can easily go at 12 an over on this

 

[alone1213]

Rizwan is batting at perfect strike rate.
He is the best T20 player going around.
Apart from that Asia Cup final he has been batting amazingly in t20s.

 

[shah_1]

Just pathetic against spinners again

 

[Marooned]

We are losing this. Way too hard now.

 

[Mp812]

100 partnership in 11.3 overs. Thats good start

 

[shariqnoor]

This is a meaningless series. Both of them should hit out right now and if they get out, let the middle order bear the brunt of the chase.

 

[imshally81]

50 for Babar too..

Btw should be two here

 

[Kianig89]

12 an over it is

 

[boomboomcheema]

Just 5 runs off that over..this chase going nowhere.

 

[Markhor]

Looks too much unless someone plays an absolute blinder.

Management will be content to claim a "moral victory"

 

[Anis Shivani]

Too many singles.
Happens every game at this juncture. Even after a quick start. Your big hitters should take over here.
