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

[Rafa]

Pakistan should keep it tight.dont get relaxed, England can still win this
.

 

[IMMY69]

Stone is still there.

Is this a top over by Shadab?

 

[Zeshan547]

This same match would be such a dull spectacle without crowd. Covid sucks. And thank goodness we have electric crowd for this one.

 

[Yasir_ch]

Now he got out.He should have been out very earlier in the innings but nonetheless amazing knock.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Shadab wins the final battle. Did not see that coming. Well done in the end.

Never count anyone out captain

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Is this a top over by Shadab?

Yeah, so far

 

[YousafTheBeast]

What.a.game

 

[Rafa]

Willey can hit it long.

 

[Titan24]

England is blessed with some insane talent

What impresses me is not just their main XI talent rather they a some quality talent with bat in pipeline as well

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Lol Willey can hit as well

 

[Rana]

Noooo

 

[Markhor]

Not a fan of limited overs matches at Trent Bridge, but magnificent game of cricket. Unreal atmosphere.

 

[shariqnoor]

These cheap wickets will keep Shadab in the team for the entire series and Usman Qadir would rot on the bench It's so unfair.

 

[guna]

That is it for this game. England had too much to chase in the end.

England need to seriously think about their bowling lineup. Tom Curran, Gregory, Parkinson are not going to do it for them. These 3 are not international level bowlers.

 

[mrtaim3]

What a fine match. Looking the ground packed with crowd is a great sight.

 

[Rana]

Need to go for wickets.

This is actually very winnable for England now

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

What impresses me is not just their main XI talent rather they a some quality talent with bat in pipeline as well

It's a systematic culture they developed.. I'm in awe

 

[Firebat]

Such a see-saw game. Pure frustration to pure elation in the matter of 60 seconds.

 

[Rafa]

Got away with that, that would have been wide.

 

[Inswing]

shadab is a pathetic bowler. Idk why is he even in the team.

 

[sindhiboy]

Brilliant innings from livingstone
Pak should win this tho

 

[Rana]

It’s a six or out kind of game

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

That is it for this game. England had too much to chase in the end.

England need to seriously think about their bowling lineup. Tom Curran, Gregory, Parkinson are not going to do it for them. These 3 are not international level bowlers.

Obviously archer and others will play in the world cup..

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shaheen bowling the last over? Can he defend 10-15?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

44 off 18

 

[mrtaim3]

These cheap wickets will keep Shadab in the team for the entire series and Usman Qadir would rot on the bench It's so unfair.

Usman Qadir would have bottled here tbh.

 

[Rana]

Pakistani pace bowlers really were much quicker than England’s today

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

shadab is a pathetic bowler. Idk why is he even in the team.

Usman surely starts ahead of him

 

[Yasir_ch]

Hasnain can easily bowl 150ks but he is holding himself back.

 

[IMMY69]

Need to keep bowling fast Yorkers

Nothing short and no length deliveries

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Never count anyone out captain

I think Shadab's record probably shows he loses more games than he wins to be fair.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Usman Qadir would have bottled here tbh.

Can't say

 

[shariqnoor]

For all the hitting, England have only scored 69 runs in the last 7 overs. Goes to show it's only been Livingstone for England.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen bowling the last over? Can he defend 10-15?

Shaheen should bowl the next


Rauf can surely defend 25 in the last

 

[Titan24]

It's a systematic culture they developed.. I'm in awe

Same. After initial inspiration probably from BMac school of thought, they have given a blue print to the world of how to go about whiteball cricket (batting in particular).

 

[Zeshan547]

It's a systematic culture they developed.. I'm in awe

They already had the structure and money, it's just big shift of approach and prioritizing white ball cricket. Not so easy for Pak to follow this model.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I think Shadab's record probably shows he loses more games than he wins to be fair.

Usman should be playing ahead of him anyway

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hasnain has been the best bowler in our side by some distance.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shaheen should bowl the next


Rauf can surely defend 25 in the last

Yup, at least Rauf has variations

 

[Rana]

Shadab what a gun!

 

[shariqnoor]

I hate Hasnain but to be fair, he's been the best bowler on display today.

 

[Rafa]

Gone brilliant fielding.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wow some gun fielding from Pakistan. What am I watching.

 

[jattafridi]

Run out

 

[IMMY69]

Shadab doing really well in the field

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 42 runs in 16 balls. RRR: 15.75

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Sir Shadab

 

[Titan24]

Hasnain has been pick of the bowlers today for me from both the sides

 

[Rana]

Pakistan need to stay switched on here

 

[jattafridi]

Really good performance from Pakistan

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Think we've won it now.

 

[mrtaim3]

Would never understand Pakistan team.. On its day they look like world beaters. They field well, bat well bowl well.

 

[guna]

For all the hitting, England have only scored 69 runs in the last 7 overs. Goes to show it's only been Livingstone for England.

England scoring rate started falling ever since Jason Roy got out.

Morgan and Gregory sucked the life out of the chase.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen should bowl this one

 

[Yasir_ch]

Pace is pace yaar.At the end of the day pace matters.

 

[Rana]

This is a poor decision ImO

Rauf should have bowled the last

 

[Forum363]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] wondering how to twist shadab’s brilliant fielding as ‘acting’. Saved precious runs in the field and now a runout at the death.

 

[AdamM97]

1-28 is very impressive on this pitch. Well done Hasnain.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Pakistan game to lose here!!

 

[guna]

Would never understand Pakistan team.. On its day they look like world beaters. They field well, bat well bowl well.

THey did not drop any catches. That made a huge difference.

 

[Rana]

It’s not a wide though??

 

[Zeshan547]

Pace is pace yaar.At the end of the day pace matters.

Its actually pace with working brain that matters.

 

[zacattakk]

These commentators are too biased. This is why you shouldn't have all commentators from the home side.

 

[Rafa]

No problem..

 

[YousafTheBeast]

That’s not a wide

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is a poor decision ImO

Rauf should have bowled the last

Nah, there's 38 runs still to get yet, if Rauf can't keep them down to 15 or so, he shouldn't be in the team.

 

[shariqnoor]

Our 2 spinners go for 98 runs in 8 overs. Need some proper spinners in. Not these pseudo spinners like Imads and Shadabs.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Cmon now Rauf, take it till the last over

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It’s not a wide though??

This umpire is well dodgy.

 

[Rafa]

As long as England have to score 20 in last over I will be happy.

 

[Rana]

This is going to be one long over

Babar May have got this one wrong

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak still shouldn't think it's done deal.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Our 2 spinners go for 98 runs in 8 overs. Need some proper spinners in. Not these pseudo spinners like Imads and Shadabs.

98 but with 4 wickets in a small ground

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should have review system for a wides also.

 

[IMMY69]

This is not over yet

 

[guna]

Willey is not a No.9 batsman. He would easily bat at 5 or 6 in most teams.

 

[Rafa]

Well bowled.

 

[zacattakk]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] wondering how to twist shadab’s brilliant fielding as ‘acting’. Saved precious runs in the field and now a runout at the death.

Yeah he's sitting somewhere contorting his brain trying to figure out a way to twist it. He has this weird obsession with hating on him. Shadab was brilliant in the field today.

 

[AdamM97]

Need to get Mahmood on strike for at least 2-3 balls

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is going to be one long over

Babar May have got this one wrong

If he can't defend this over no way he would be able to do it in the final one.
