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

[marlonbrowndo]

Why would Babar not give Hasnain another

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Short ball with a short leg side boundary. Strange to say the least.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

18 off Rauf's first over. Now you do understand why I was sceptical?

Hard to sustain momentum.. England will fall short..

 

[Rafa]

Whatever Pakistan score, England do better.

 

[Rana]

Big, Big wicket

 

[IMMY69]

Pakistan favourites now. But only just

 

[Rafa]

Gone yes yes yes

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Roy is gone.. What say captain?

 

[Titan24]

Atlast, Shadab gets one right and Roy goes

 

[guna]

Now Pakistan should just get Morgan and they will win this. No Buttler to bail them out today.

 

[Rana]

I think we are not short

We scored at least 35 runs more than we ever could have dreamed of. England are losing wickets every other over

 

[Zeshan547]

What a welcome to Fake all rounder.

Thats a crucial wicket even if it's lucky one.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Years of watching cricket and still people feel indifferent...

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Well, Pakistan needed that. I thought they were going to get 25 off that over. Big wicket, but I think England will keep hitting.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

roy gone

Pakistan striking back with wickets here

 

[Rana]

Get Morgan and it will be our game to lose

 

[IMMY69]

Well, Pakistan needed that. I thought they were going to get 25 off that over. Big wicket, but I think England will keep hitting.

You're absolutely right.
They won't die wondering

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Well, Pakistan needed that. I thought they were going to get 25 off that over. Big wicket, but I think England will keep hitting.

Relax now

 

[Rana]

Not a bad over actually

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

You're absolutely right.
They won't die wondering

This also means they keep giving us opportunities

 

[Rana]

Morgan hasn’t been taking this seriously. Pakistan can wrap them up under 180 here

 

[Zeshan547]

Relax now

Not until these two are in, specially Morg.

 

[IMMY69]

This also means they keep giving us opportunities

Sure but we must take our chances and be disciplined in our bowling.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Not until these two are in, specially Morg.

Haha your wish

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

You're absolutely right.
They won't die wondering

I love the attitude. They'll win more than they lose playing like that.

 

[IMMY69]

Livingstone is absolutely smoking it

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

If we're not confident of defending 230+ should we even be playing this sport?

 

[Zeshan547]

That drop can be match turning, hope it isn't.

 

[Titan24]

Have been struggling to understand the fascination with the half trackers

 

[Ahmed216]

He's batting like a breeze. Need to get him somehow

 

[IMMY69]

I love the attitude. They'll win more than they lose playing like that.

Yep. Fearless cricket and backing their skills

 

[mrtaim3]

Livingstone is hitting with hard hands. He will soon get out.

 

[AdamM97]

If we're not confident of defending 230+ should we even be playing this sport?

Tbf, England can chase high scores. Shouldn’t be that confident.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Sure but we must take our chances and be disciplined in our bowling.

I think our attack is actually well suited to defending this total, but it all depends on the fast bowlers getting their radar right.

 

[Local.Dada]

Incredible how England keep losing wickets and still stay on par for the target. They are going to lose this one though

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hasnain is too fast and on line for England to take liberties.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I think Morgan is the only threat if he settles down.. Can keep hitting sixes consistently but he's rusty looks like

 

[Rana]

Morgan’s casual approach could cost them the game here

 

[Zeshan547]

If we're not confident of defending 230+ should we even be playing this sport?

Its all relative, depends on the conditions. Rizwan with a brain fade, thankfully it didn't cost.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Tbf, England can chase high scores. Shouldn’t be that confident.

Sure when we make par scores like 190-200 but I think we made 30 odd more

 

[Rana]

Another good over by Hasnain

 

[IMMY69]

Does anyone really think that some IPL or PSL game is better then this?

 

[castortroy]

Morgan v Shadab

Could be absolute carnage this over

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Another fine over from Hasnain. Looks to be coming of age.

 

[Ashmal]

Hasnain has been really good so far....needs to play ahead of brainless Haris Rauf

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Only ignorant souls

 

[Rana]

This can go for a few

 

[mrtaim3]

How good Hasnain actually is. I'm still baffled that Haris was preferred above him.

 

[Titan24]

Quality from Hasnian other than one ball

 

[AdamM97]

Sure when we make par scores like 190-2000 but I think we made 30 odd more

Sure. I think Pakistan will win this but you should never underestimate England on these pitches, runs come easy here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan need to get rid of haris rauf , he is just good for leagues. Not international quality and shadab too should be kicked out.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

How good Hasnain actually is. I'm still baffled that Haris was preferred above him.

Haris has x-factor

 

[castortroy]

Getting destroyed by livingstone lol

 

[Nado_]

Great from Hasnain , his death bowling concerns me though

 

[Rana]

Shadab needs to keep it flat

 

[Ab Fan]

Oh dear! T20 is such a trash format. Flat pitch, short boundary, you just throw your bat and get sixes for fun. GOD save cricket!

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Sure. I think Pakistan will win this but you should never underestimate England on these pitches, runs come easy here.

Definitely not.. They'll be a force with archer and butter in the team

 

[Rana]

Getting destroyed by livingstone lol

He’s very good

 

[Local.Dada]

Morgan hasn’t been taking this seriously. Pakistan can wrap them up under 180 here

I agree on the 2nd part but Morgan always looks like like that calm and chill

 

[mrtaim3]

Haris has x-factor

I haven't seen it. I'd rather have a consistent player rather than a player with an x-factor.

 

[Zeshan547]

Shady somehow get this livingstone and make him dead stone, all gunah maf.

 

[IMMY69]

England favourites again

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Perfect pitch for Livingstone to feast on

 

[JibranAnsari]

livingstone might get a big 100 here

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

50 off 17 balls for Livingstone. That's what can happen when you have mediocre spinners in the mix.

 

[Rana]

Wow Shadab has gone for runs.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I haven't seen it. I'd rather have a consistent player rather than a player with an x-factor.

I don't mind if both play actually

 

[Justcrazy]

Livingstone 50 from 18 balls

 

[mrtaim3]

How easily this guy is hitting. This is rubbish. T20s were good when 150 was defendable.

 

[Rafa]

Almost Half the target done and dusted.

 

[Saj]

Shadab either bowling half-trackers or floaties.

Poor first 2 overs.

 

[castortroy]

England probably favourites now

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Haris has x-factor

I will hold you to that.

 

[Ahmed216]

He bowls it either too short or too full. Doesnt spin the ball ,doesnt bowl the flippper,doesnt bowl a sharp googly.

Yes Shadab is a leg spinner

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Usman over shady is a no brainer... Wonder why the management isn't thinking about it

 

[Zeshan547]

They are actually above required rate despite losing four wickets. This is the approach which made this fearful batting line up possible.

 

[taqi]

232 looking 150 lolz

 

[castortroy]

*** imad going to get destroyed here

Stop bowling spin

 

[Rana]

Why is he bowling spinners!!!

 

[IMMY69]

This is carnage
