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

[ask_analyse_act]

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

Misbah who himself has a bad technique will say Abid is not good enough for test cricket and will select Ahmed shehzad just wait and watch this comedy selector

 

[thecrusade911]

Imam can never play such an innings even against a club team. No offense but it is just the immense difference of skill level.

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[AdamM97]

Abid Ali will make Imam and Fakhar work harder. Abid is going to replace one of them.

 

[saeed5646]

He played some outstanding knock against much stronger Sa bowling lineup in sa .

 

[Titan24]

Abid needs to convert it into a century now

 

[saeed5646]

Misbah who himself has a bad technique will say Abid is not good enough for test cricket and will select Ahmed shehzad just wait and watch this comedy selector

Shehzad is not in the contention fakhar was realistic choice but considering his recent form and his downfall on short pitch deliveries abid ali is almost certain due to today knock and one of his double hundred in domestic recently

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar plays with hard hands with hardly any use of the wrists.
He'll always struggle to pick gaps for 1's and 2's

 

[imshally81]

Abid Ali will make Imam and Fakhar work harder. Abid is going to replace one of them.

Hopefully imam

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

They had 5 odi games to try him in England before the world cup, didn’t give a game and dropped. Well hasnain is still not given an odi game , he would have took some experience playing in the cpl and domestics instead

 

[QalandarFan]

What the heck is Rameez talking about "in the past few years 275+ has only been chased down once."

Agreed. Pointless to include players in the squad if you're not going to give them a chance.

 

[QalandarFan]

^Ok about 5 minutes later he adds he was talking about Pakistan.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Who is this new commentator with Ramiz?

Sounds decent.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

What the heck is Rameez talking about "in the past few years 275+ has only been chased down once."

He meant chased by Pakistan

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

He played some outstanding knock against much stronger Sa bowling lineup in sa .

Don't forget his 150 in ENG vs ENG

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar should just unleash and end this one quickly.

 

[Rana]

Who is this new commentator with Ramiz?

Sounds decent.

Was about to ask this also

 

[QalandarFan]

He meant chased by Pakistan

Yeah like I said he added that part after a good 5 minutes. ^^

 

[MMHS]

So, within second game of “chachu” “opting not to renew his contract”, Imam ul Haq is facing the heat to justify his spot - this is in ODI team, his by far strongest format.

 

[QalandarFan]

Beautiful batting from Fakhar what an edge for

 

[Rana]

Abid decent against spin

 

[Titan24]

Dont think 34-35 is too old for WC contrary to what Ramiz is saying regarding Abid. Though WC is long way ahead and we never know who puts his hand up till then.

 

[Titan24]

Beautiful batting from Fakhar what an edge for

This is disrespectful to guy who captained Qalandar in 2019 for quite a few matches.

 

[Titan24]

Both openers going at run a ball or more, dont remember seeing this often.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dont think 34-35 is too old for WC contrary to what Ramiz is saying regarding Abid. Though WC is long way ahead and we never know who puts his hand up till then.

Ideally we would start building our team right now for the upcoming world cup but as is the case in usual Pakistani fashion we don't even know who will be captain next series, let alone the world cup.

There is a reason England won the last world cup and that's because they begun planning as soon as the 2015 world cup ended.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Should look to find th odd boundary here otherwise RRR will slowly climb

 

[QalandarFan]

This is disrespectful to guy who captained Qalandar in 2019 for quite a few matches.

Yeah if we won them maybe he'd get some respect.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Dont think 34-35 is too old for WC contrary to what Ramiz is saying regarding Abid. Though WC is long way ahead and we never know who puts his hand up till then.

Need Abid to keep his fitness on a high level to play two CWC from now.

 

[shah_1]

Abid doesn't look convincing against spin

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[Rayyman]

Leg pay hai

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imam is safe now. A hundred from Abid could have been the end of bhateeja.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Abid doesn't look convincing against spin

Not watching the match but this makes sense.

He was batting with a 135 strike rate but as soon as spinners came on, his strike rate went down.

 

[Rayyman]

Not watching the match but this makes sense.

He was batting with a 135 strike rate but as soon as spinners came on, his strike rate went down.

Yea but he is still good enough to be in the squad. More than capable for a modern LOI opener.

If he plays it can't be in the middle order. Has to open.

 

[Omer2002]

there is definately spin in the wicket now..this will be hard i am telling you

 

[Abdullah719]

Abid doesn't look convincing against spin

Yeah, much more comfortable against pacers.

 

[Syed1]

Imam is safe now. A hundred from Abid could have been the end of bhateeja.

Chachu is no longer there, Imam is not safe.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate run a ball at this stage.

 

[saeed5646]

Hundre is there for taking hopefully babar doesn't throw it away

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Chachu is no longer there, Imam is not safe.

His 50+ average is still a curse. Misbah has a soft spot for holding batmen as well.

 

[AdamM97]

Imam is safe now. A hundred from Abid could have been the end of bhateeja.

Abid is temporary, Imam is permanent.

 

[Justcrazy]

153 from 26 overs .

A solid partnership required .

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar Zaman has got a start , he needs to be there till the end.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Fakhar should try to get a century and regain his mojo and confidence.

He's our 1st opener (excluding Sharjeel) in a long time who can go all-out attack in powerplay.

 

[Justcrazy]

Opportunity for Babaar to boost his average here by remaining not out

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar is 46 runs away from 2000 runs in OD

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Thirimanne refers it

I think it's gone.

 

[Green Patriot]

Babar

 

[Arham_PakFan]

And Babar is out for a decent 31

That was plumb, wonder why Wilson didnt give it.

 

[Rayyman]

Again Babar misses a straight one.

 

[Fahdi]

Decent outing from Babar, got a good delivery.

 

[Mueez]

Abid played beautifully.

Happy to see Fakhar back in the runs.

 

[AdamM97]

Good decision to send in Sarfraz before Haris.

 

[Omer2002]

this match will be close...

 

[blackanhyellow]

I'm glad sarfraz wants to lead from the front and not hide down the batting order.

But it should be in all conditions, really unfair on haaris is sarfraz baat at 4 here then drops down to 5 or 6 in england, aus, etc...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz trying to save his place ...

 

[shah_1]

Again Babar misses a straight one.

It wasn't a straight one. It nipped back

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar gets lucky.

 

[Omer2002]

fakhar dropped again

 

[AdamM97]

Rambo is obsessed with Abid.

 

[Kroll]

Waz saying Sarfraz's best position is still 6/7 - clearly hasn't seen Sarfraz bat of late or still living in the past.

 

[Fahdi]

Again Babar misses a straight one.

What are you talking about? The ball nipped back in off the seam which is always difficult to face.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Waz saying Sarfraz's best position is still 6/7 - clearly hasn't seen Sarfraz bat of late or still living in the past.

These days sarfraz does not have a best batting position.

 

[Hbomb00]

Rambo and his kali zaban

 

[AdamM97]

Yaaar Fakhar bhai what are you doing.

 

[IAJ]

The overrated Fakhar goes, wasting Abid Ali.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is a brilliant spell from Pradeep. Deserves both wickets.

Fakhar got all fidgety soon as Sarfraz walked in

 

[Fahdi]

OK now I am worried. Both set batsmen out, idiotic from Fakhar and Sarfraz inspires absolutely no confidence whatsoever.

 

[Ahmed216]

What are you talking about? The ball nipped back in off the seam which is always difficult to face.

And that too on a karachi track where you least expect it as a batsman

 

[Rayyman]

It wasn't a straight one. It nipped back

What are you talking about? The ball nipped back in off the seam which is always difficult to face.

Still it's on his pads.

Against Afg. he missed a sweep and got bowled at leg stump by Nabi.

Against BD he got LBW by a Saifuddin yorker.

In the last match he was out umpires call on an LBW by Kumara but it wasn't given.

Now he is LBW by Pradeep.

 

[AdamM97]

At least put some power under that shot if you're going for that. Fakhar Zaman confuses me.

 

[Minnowbasher]

Innings falling apart now. Fakhar out. Pakistan losing their head for the millionth time
When will this change?

 

[Omer2002]

repeat match will be close...

 

[AdamM97]

What we can expect now:

- Sarfraz and Haris slowing things down.
- RR falling below 6.00
- Pakistan to chase 30 off the last 3 overs.

 

[Rayyman]

Nawaz is better vs spin than Imad so this might be a good move.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Sarfraz let’s see what he can do as a captain
