Pakistan (232/6) beat England (201 all out) by 31 runs in a thrilling encounter at Trent Bridge

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Get in Hasnain and finish it.. Why Imad??? Poor from Babar again

And who will bowl in death?? Shadab or imad??

 

[castortroy]

Morgan looked very rusty

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hope you're watching this over from Haris

I am. I don't rate Haris, don't think he should be in the team, but that was a decent over.

 

[Rana]

Rauf is a full on Cheetah today!!!

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Morgan is my man of the match )

 

[IMMY69]

Ok so Morgan out but he looked scratchy...

Our destroyer in the odi's coming out now..

 

[Zeshan547]

Now it's only Livingstone vs pakistan, big big wicket this.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Morgan goes. Looked Rusty.

 

[Rafa]

England still favorites as long as Livingstone at crease. Gregory to join him now.

 

[guna]

That should do it for Pakistan. Or does it? I reckon England has so more batting to come.

 

[imshally81]

Morgan gone

 

[Titan24]

Gregory and Livingstone together. Pak better get them soon

 

[AdamM97]

Livingstone and Gregory still a danger.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Morgan bro thanks :d

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I am. I don't rate Haris, don't think he should be in the team, but that was a decent over.

That's injustice man.. He's really good and can really play the Wahab role for us in the long run

 

[IMMY69]

These two with Curran snd Willy to follow...
England still favourites

 

[Titan24]

That should do it for Pakistan. Or does it? I reckon England has so more batting to come.

Eng firepower literally never ends. Most difficult batting lineup at the moment to play against for a bowler

 

[AdamM97]

Does Root even make this T20 team anymore?

 

[Rana]

2 brilliant overs

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Does Root even make this T20 team anymore?

Will be a travesty if he does.. Who will he replace? Livingstone?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This partnership is the key to who wins now. A quick wicket and it's Pakistan, if they stay together for a decent time, it's England.

 

[Firebat]

These 2 Shadab overs are what England will target. Keep them quiet and it puts Pakistan in the driver's seat.

 

[sindhiboy]

Hafeez should come on for shadab

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Does Root even make this T20 team anymore?

I say yes, bowling attacks like NZ AuS SA these players will struggle

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Shadab got away with that half tracker

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Eng firepower literally never ends. Most difficult batting lineup at the moment to play against for a bowler

If Pakistan had a Rashid Khan, game would've been dead & buried. I posted after the WC 2019 how Pakistan would continue to suffer if they don't include a wicket taking spinner in the lineup.

 

[shariqnoor]

Does Root even make this T20 team anymore?

No. They told him he bats too slow at 130SR

 

[AdamM97]

Will be a travesty if he does.. Who will he replace? Livingstone?

English batting depth is crazy.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

That's injustice man.. He's really good and can really play the Wahab role for us in the long run

Wahab is faster and has big match mentality. Not sure I've seen that in Rauf.

 

[Zeshan547]

Eng firepower literally never ends. Most difficult batting lineup at the moment to play against for a bowler

We shall see on those not such highways of UAE vs bowlers with working brain in WT20, they will at most crash out vs Pak or Indian in semifinal.

 

[Ab Fan]

Well devilliers also scored on a belter.. If someone breaks it they will have deserved it

Don't think it will count as record broken also in T20 because the format will be different. As it seems, that record is unlikely to be broken in ODIs.

 

[Rana]

Good bowling this over

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Wahab is faster and has big match mentality. Not sure I've seen that in Rauf.

You will when he plays the big matches later this year...letd reserve our judgement then

 

[Rana]

Don’t think it was a wide

 

[Rana]

Another good over!

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Don't think it will count as record broken also in T20 because the format will be different. As it seems, that record is unlikely to be broken in ODIs.

That's because most teams don't need players to make such scores in onedayers anyway..

 

[IMMY69]

Top over from Shadab

 

[Rana]

England need at least one six every over now

 

[Titan24]

Good thinking over from Shadab

 

[Rafa]

Req rate 13 . Many teams have achieved it easily..nothing very extraordinary. Though 230+ is a huge target.

 

[mrtaim3]

Great over from Shadab i must say.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Sami v2 looking good today.

 

[jattafridi]

Come on need 1 more wicket

 

[IMMY69]

Don’t think it was a wide

Same umpire didn't call a wide when rizwan did exactly the same thing when he was batting

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have been so good to watch today

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Shaheen - Haris - Hasnain is good enough for most teams

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Top over from Shadab

How? 2 wides in an over how it can be top.

 

[Rafa]

How? 2 wides in an over how it can be top.

Didn't get hit for any boundaries.

 

[IMMY69]

How? 2 wides in an over how it can be top.

Mate you not sure how much cricket you've seen but that was a top over for a high scoring T20

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Didn't get hit for any boundaries.

They will launch in last five lol

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Same umpire didn't call a wide when rizwan did exactly the same thing when he was batting

Got to expect that when you have a home umpire. He should have given the wide for Rizwan.

 

[mrtaim3]

They will launch in last five lol

I think we have a good reserves for those 5 overs.

 

[IMMY69]

England need big overs now so this is where we have to field well, take our catches.

Make or break time

 

[Rana]

Shadab is a fighter for sure

 

[Rafa]

Low full toss. Nice gift.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Mate you not sure how much cricket you've seen but that was a top over for a high scoring T20

Not more than you mate. But on any day that wasn't top over.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Good over all things considered. Hasnain looking the business.

 

[shariqnoor]

Atherton overrating Pakistani death bowling. These English commentators have this tendency to overrate Pakistani reverse swing bowling. Nasser Hussain is of the same ilk. The fact is, Pakistanis rarely reverse swing the ball these days.

 

[Rafa]

Afridi back. Babar going for the kill.

 

[IMMY69]

Not more than you mate. But on any day that wasn't top over.

In the context of the game, and the fact that he's been smashed out of the park, that was a really top over.

Don't let your hatred for a player cloud your judgement

 

[Ashmal]

Hasnain has been impressive today

 

[Rana]

Livingstone has slowed down massively

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shaheen in death overs is not something I look forward to

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Atherton overrating Pakistani death bowling. These English commentators have this tendency to overrate Pakistani reverse swing bowling. Nasser Hussain is of the same ilk. The fact is, Pakistanis rarely reverse swing the ball these days.

Yes, England still think Pakistan are a top bowling side, I keep hearing how dangerous we are. Not sure they've seen much of us in recent years.

 

[Rana]

No worries we are still on top

 

[YousafTheBeast]

2 full tosses, got lucky with the first one.

BOWL SLOWER, TAKE THE PACE OFF !!!

CMONNN SHAHEEN LEARN

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Two awful balls from Shaheen. Lucky to only have got battered from one of them.

 

[IMMY69]

Squeaky bum time

Make or break

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 75 runs in 34 balls. RRR: 13.23

 

[YousafTheBeast]

3 consecutive full tosses from Shaheen

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

3 full tosses in a row.

 

[sindhiboy]

3 full tosses in a row
Only 7 runs

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

In the context of the game, and the fact that he's been smashed out of the park, that was a really top over.

Don't let your hatred for a player cloud your judgement

Ok let's say it was good over but not top over at all.

I don't hate anyone btw

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

4 in a row now.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

This has to be the worst over I’ve ever seen lol. 4 full tosses at 90mph.

 

[Zeshan547]

Rubbish over, so far but got lucky

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Maqsood bottled out of that.

 

[IMMY69]

Maqsood is really slow

 

[Rafa]

Maqsood never catches anything. Laziest fielder.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Hafeez and zamans knocks would be the final difference for us
