Pakistan [299/5] defeat Sri Lanka [297/9] by 5 wickets and win ODI series by a 2-0 margin

[MenInG]

 

[troodon]

Pak should win this.

Babar Azam will score another century.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Pakistan better win this! That bowling and fielding was embarrassing.

 

[sweep_shot]

Didn't expect SL to reach 297.

Should be a tricky chase.

 

[jiduguravindra]

Tough chase this...Good start needed..
One of the top 3 has to make a centruy, otherwise sl has great chance.

 

[Mesozoic]

Pitch looked to be on the slower side and Sri Lanka has 3 spinners. Not going to be easy.

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar is the key man. He needs to play a big knock.

 

[Shafi]

Misbah is installing tuktuking in our team. Even Fakhar is affected with the virus.

 

[Darkrai]

This guy is playing like a tail-ender

 

[sweep_shot]

First over is maiden. Very unusual from Fakhar.

 

[Plumb]

It will be a tough Chase.... I see a drawn series

 

[Syed1]

The tuk tuk culture is back... thank you Misbah..... why doesn't this useless insaan just get lost already.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hope Babar will score another hundred but looking very unlikely in pressure situation

 

[Afhan Ali]

The tuk tuk culture is back... thank you Misbah..... why doesn't this useless insaan just get lost already.

Why this type of useless insan will leave the job of 30 lacks

 

[Darkrai]

Misbah said that he will tell Fakhar to play his natural game, and here he is playing maidens.

 

[Mesozoic]

Abid Ali's backlift and technique looks a carbon copy of Brendan McCullum.

 

[Titan24]

Shot Abid

 

[sweep_shot]

11/0 after 3 overs.

Abid just hit two boundaries.

 

[Syed1]

Misbah said that he will tell Fakhar to play his natural game, and here he is playing maidens.

Probably told Fakhar what he told Sharjeel "if you hit a shot and get out I will drop you".... these are Misbah's own words in a press conference.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Lankans will try to bowl fakhar on his pads and this hack will be unable to hit it

 

[Afhan Ali]

Probably told Fakhar what he told Sharjeel "if you hit a shot and get out I will drop you".... these are Misbah's own words in a press conference.

How to get rid of this useless coach?

 

[shah_1]

The tuk tuk culture is back... thank you Misbah..... why doesn't this useless insaan just get lost already.

Should blame the people that hired him

But it is too early to comment on Misbah

 

[Ahmed216]

Haha that was about hitting a specific shot tht he was stuggling with in previous matches

 

[Gullycricket]

Lot of praise for Abid

 

[Ahmed216]

But it is too early to comment on Misbah

Yes its early days but hes already picked shahzad and akmal for T20s

 

[Titan24]

Pak just scored 300+ in the last game and ever defensive shot batsmen are playing some posters are saying its due to Misbah.

 

[Titan24]

Yes its early days but hes already picked shahzad and akmal for T20s

Who would have been your pick?

 

[Syed1]

RRR is rising above 6, and Pak batsmen are going at 3 rpo. Slap on the face of everyone who was celebrating this pathetic tuk tuk's return. It took us such a long time to painstakingly remove his inculcated tuk tuk culture, and as soon as he returns he brings it back.

 

[Ahmed216]

Lot of praise for Abid

He is miles better than imam especially against spin. Imam never had domestic runs behind him

 

[coy0607]

The tuk tuk culture is back... thank you Misbah..... why doesn't this useless insaan just get lost already.

Misbah is the new Intikhab, he'll be around in some capacity for the next 30 years. He's going to suck everything he can get out of the PCB

 

[Ahmed216]

Who would have been your pick?

Not guys who hve made more than a dozen comebacks in 11 years of international cricket.
I dont follow domestics much these guys are proven failures. Braineless batsman akmal

 

[Pakhs]

Abid Ali has started better than Fakhar

 

[Afhan Ali]

Really missing the emotional Micky and Revaluationary Inzi

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

What's with the tharki cameramen in subcontinent.

It seems every other crowd camera is at a young lady.

[Gullycricket]

Hint of Babar in that flick from Abid

There is not much in domestics in terms of batting, you cant stop talent like Babar Azam from coming in the team but there is no other Babar Azam at the moment. Its a bitter truth but in T20s we dont have better stroke makers than ones selected with the exception of Khushdil Shah who didnt get a chance.

 

[Asif321]

Hope the tuk tuk mentality has not re incarnated in Pakistan team
I feel both Micky and Sarfraz combo both aggressive works better for Pakistan rather than a calm one like Misbah

 

[Gullycricket]

What a shot.

 

[Rayyman]

Abid should be Pak's regular opener instead of Imam.

 

[Titan24]

Abid Ali going run a ball, I like Imam but I hope he can also try to rotate the strike the way Abid has been doing. Ofcourse Abid has much more experience of domestics but still if Imam wants to keep on improving he needs to absorb this.

 

[Gullycricket]

I like Imam but Abid's shot range is another level compared to Imam

 

[Fahdi]

The way Abid Ali turns his wrist right at the last minute to work the ball on the leg side is somewhat reminiscent of Mahela Jayawardane.

 

[coy0607]

Fakhar doesn't seem to have much confidence - nothing start so far

 

[Rana]

Abid is a top class player MashAllah

 

[Titan24]

Wow, that wasnt even exactly on the pads rather on the middle stump but Abid played it to square leg.

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar doesn't seem to have much confidence - nothing start so far

Surprising since he had a 50 just 2 days ago..... maybe the 50 was too fast for Misbah the saviour's liking and he blasted Fakhar after he got out to do more tuk tuk. Fakhar is only obliging what useless insaan instructed him to do.

 

[Titan24]

True.

 

[Zeshan547]

@Man i don't wanna jinx him but looks like Abid is here to stay. Maybe it's the hack fakhar we need to get rid of and we can have imam Abid combo, unless Fakhar cam set the world on fire.

 

[Rana]

Abid needs to play Test cricket also

 

[PakPremi]

Should blame the people that hired him

But it is too early to comment on Misbah

Agree I'm no Misbah fan but everything on Misbah is uncalled for especially at the moment as its early days and he is not doing much different from What Inzi/Mickey were doing recycling seniors and not being brave with new players.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Abid has a good range and picks length early.

Good timer as well.

Good competition for Imam and Fakhar.

 

[Gullycricket]

Abid ufff

 

[Titan24]

First ball at 144kph from Kumara. He has the basics but lacks consistency

 

[Rana]

SL are bowling trash to Abid Ali tbf

 

[maanleo]

Abid should replace Fakhar, who is hit or miss.

 

[PakPremi]

I like Imam but Abid's shot range is another level compared to Imam

Imam and Abid both should open for Pakistan till Sharjeel returns to replace Imam.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Fakhar needs to go. Always looks scratchy regardless of how long hes been out there.

Hes been figured out anyways by the better teams.

Should stick with abid and imam

 

[Fahdi]

Abid left a great impression in his first few outings as well. Mind boggling how he has just made the team, should have been around the team ten years ago.

 

[Titan24]

Loving strokes of Abid, would be surprised if he isnt picked in PSL in the coming season especially by either Multan or Lahore considering the lack of stability.

 

[MenInG]

First ball at 144kph from Kumara. He has the basics but lacks consistency

 

[saeed5646]

Abid ali deserves to be picked for psl 1)considering his current form
2) all the matches will be in Pakistan where pitches will suite his batting

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Yes its early days but hes already picked shahzad and akmal for T20s

And dropped Abid, shows he is eye fo talent.

Misbah is the same old guy who will try to win odi matches with Asad and Azhar

 

[Titan24]

View attachment 95472

Thanks. So in his very first over he is bowling close to the fastest ball of the match if not the fastest. A lot to work with but he hasnt improved much since last year or two unfortunately.

 

[saeed5646]

Brilliant coverage from broadcasters ❤❤ alot better then this year psl

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win this now. Confident opening partnership.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Rana]

InshaAllah we get 5-6 years of quality batting from Abid. Beautiful batsman!

 

[saeed5646]

Excellent batting from abid .Seems not far away from test debut

 

[Titan24]

What have you done Abid Ali, Misbah?

On a serious note, its the hardwork of Abid paying of.

 

[Syed1]

Imagine we left Abid Ali at home and instead took nephew to the WC.

 

[Forum363]

Great observation after 2 overs.

So Pakistan score 300 in the last game and start of the second game with a couple of quiet overs and you are already blaming Misbah for changing the culture????

I actually dislike Misbah and think it was completely the wrong decision to choose him as the coach/selector, however for you to make that statement based on a couple of overs is laughable and shows your intelligence.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Wasim Akram with how Abid Ali will fail in Steaming conditions by playing with straight bat


Lol ) )

 

[Rayyman]

Imagine we left Abid Ali at home and instead took nephew to the WC.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

What an amazing fifty by Abid Ali - deserves a century here. Fakhar looks like he is asleep lol

 

[thecrusade911]

To be really honest, Fakhar Zaman has been tuktuking for quite some time now. It isn't really Misbah's fault. Remember Asia cup and many other matches after that. He is a pure hack.

 

[Rana]

“Pakistani off to a flyer here”

How does Wasim continue to get hired as an English speaking commentator? He has the worst grammar pronunciation out of all international commentators.

 

[Titan24]

One of my favorite recent knocks this by Abid Ali amongst Pakistani batsmen, right up there with few of Babar and Haris.

 

[saeed5646]

Karachi pitch is one of the most flat wicket in the world .Very little margin of error for bowler's

 

[Titan24]

Pure cricketing shots and stroke play by Abid Ali, putting the bad balls away and rotating the strike wherever possible.
