Pakistan (302/9) defeat Afghanistan (300/5) by 1 wicket to win the 2nd ODI

[Nikhil_cric]

PAK will win now that spinners are done.

 

[ZaidTR]

Shadab should point the bat at Ifthikar and tell him that’s how u hit a ball.

 

[pratiktc]

Ifti ate up all those balls and bottled it

 

[PakPremi]

Nasim should come in next

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Big blow , Iftikhar gone

 

[boomboomcheema]

Chacha a little slow in these circumstances, what to say.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen needs to bat like his father-in-law now.

 

[PakPremi]

4 ovs 46
Easy peasy

Not really, the boundaries are big here, it is not a T20

 

[Ahmed216]

Chachaaa pathetic knock from Misbah's favorite...iftimania is all in his head

 

[ZaidTR]

hope Ifthikar Fans are watching him play

 

[mominsaigol]

Shaheen beta make us proud, show us that shahid afridi batting you're famous for

 

[boomboomcheema]

Common Shaheen display some big hitting today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi needs to play a cameo here.

 

[Ahmed216]

Let's see if babar changes the winning combo from 1st game now

 

[Justcrazy]

This is gettable , but will not be easy. It will need some some big blows every over.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 wides ! That would release some pressure.

 

[boomboomcheema]

5 wides what a gift.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Haha. Afghans losing the plot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 33 runs in 18 balls.

 

[Ahmed216]

If Rizwan is not willing to bat below 4 he must be dropped

 

[pratiktc]

Shadab running Afg ragged

 

[Champ_Pal]

Haha. Afghans losing the plot.

They are not used to winning much against Pakistan. The belief is hard to come. But if they win, it will do them a world of good.

 

[Firebat]

It's really not that far out of reach!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Afghans bowled too many wides and paying the price.

 

[Champ_Pal]

It's really not that far out of reach!

In a T20 match, this is Pak's game to lose.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Ok gone

 

[boomboomcheema]

Lame Knock Shaheen. Can't rely on him to do late order hitting when needed.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They are not used to winning much against Pakistan. The belief is hard to come. But if they win, it will do them a world of good.

The 50 overs game is not their forte. It's about top 6 sides and rest just make up numbers. Last World Cup, Afghans had a lot of hype and then they lost every single match.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Need a 20 run over.

 

[emranabbas]

Shaheen needs to bat like his father-in-law now.

Afridi played like his father in law

 

[Devadwal]

The 50 overs game is not their forte. It's about top 6 sides and rest just make up numbers. Last World Cup, Afghans had a lot of hype and then they lost every single match.

They came very close to win against India and Pakistan

 

[shariqnoor]

Both the bowlers and the batters deserve blame for the loss.

Bowlers should never have allowed 300. For Afghanistan to have hit 4-5 sixes on this massive ground is pathetic from the bowlers.

 

[pratiktc]

Who is this silly commentator?

 

[ayemgilani86]

Whenever Imam ul Haq scores runs chasing we always end up losing after he puts pressure on the middle order and lower order and never finishesc

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rahman is rubbish. PAK should destroy him NOW!

 

[shariqnoor]

100% Babar is losing the toss in the 3rd game. He never wins a crucial toss.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rahman under pressure

 

[Firebat]

Shadab you beauty!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That's a no ball.

 

[mominsaigol]

I'm sorry shadab, usama mir deserves to go, not you.

 

[Azzurri]

it was a no ball

 

[Thanos]

Why didn't Pak review the last ball for height?

 

[Cricket Warrior]

that was a no ball

 

[Ahmed216]

Afghan umpire strikes again.

That's a no ball.

Yes Afghan umpire is a cheat

 

[mominsaigol]

The umpires are cheats. Not giving no balls and players not playing fair

 

[Fazzy321]

Please show no mercy after this Pakistan that was not needed from Farooqi. Destroys the spirit of cricket

 

[Adi_62945]

rana faheem will be back next game

 

[Major]

pathetic stuff from the afghans

 

[Adijazz1706]

Mankad strikes again, will Naseem strike the afghans down again?

 

[Fazzy321]

So Major you were the supporter of this Afghan team? What do you think of that?

pathetic stuff from the afghans

 

[Adijazz1706]

3 off 2!

 

[Thanos]

What a match so far. Pak should win this.

 

[Major]

So Major you were the supporter of this Afghan team? What do you think of that?

i support them, but what they did is real pathetic and i want pakistan to win now

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afghan's choke once again.

Naseem shah does it again 2 in 2.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

wowwwwww.. naseeemmm u beautyyyy

 

[Fazzy321]

Afghan will remain minnow with this mentality they have

 

[Adijazz1706]

Naseem Afghan nightmare confirmed

 

[mominsaigol]

Naseem Shah, the man who will give Afghanistan nightmares.

 

[Major]

well deserve pakistan.


afghansitan deserve to lose for that mankading

 

[Fazzy321]

Take that Farooqi

 

[ZaidTR]

well deserve pakistan.


afghansitan deserve to lose for that mankading

Shhhhhssshhhh

 

[shariqnoor]

Afghanistan chokes against Pakistan like Pakistan chokes against Australia.

 

[Major]

words said by Babar to Nabi. Interesting stuff

 

[Firebat]

Afghans tried every trick in the book, better luck next time!!!!

 

[ZaidTR]

i support them, but what they did is real pathetic and i want pakistan to win now

Fastest ever seen Jump Bandwagon

 

[shariqnoor]

Mankading was perfectly legal. It was smart play by Afghanistan.

 

[mominsaigol]

well deserve pakistan.


afghansitan deserve to lose for that mankading

I agree, I've lost all respect for Afghanistan as a cricketing nation.

Hope Sri Lanka and Bangladesh qualify in the Asia cup.

 

[FreakCricket]

They learned mankading by their daddies

 

[sam_ahm]

Wow! That was fun!!! Absolute thriller, de'ja vu for Afghanistan!!! Naseem Shah you legend... Afghanistan's nemesis!

 

[mominsaigol]

Mankading was perfectly legal. It was smart play by Afghanistan.

It's a pretty sports mentality however. Their things that are legal and then their basic respect and ethics when playing a game.

We could have taken a single in the first game but imam decided to leave it as a dot ball because it would have been unfair to Afghans.

Sportsmenship is the key to respect.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afghanistan played their best and still lost to Pakistan.

I am not sure what else they can do to get the monkey off their backs. This is nightmarish stuff for any team to lose 2 matches from winning positions and that too against a No.11 who is swinging for heavens.

 

[Rana]

Farooqi such a bottler

 

[Ahmed216]

Farooqi such a bottler

Haan Bhai aaram hai?

 

[sindhiboy]

no way this has happened again

 

[SamNJ]

I am not sure what else they can do to get the monkey off their backs.

Need to find decent pacers. Abdul Rahman was very poor throughout the game.

 

[Rana]

Haan Bhai aaram hai?

How did Afghanistan bottle this?

They had this in the bag 27 to win off 2 overs

 

[Champ_Pal]

Need to find decent pacers. Abdul Rahman was very poor throughout the game.

They could have played one more spinner. That left hand chinaman guy that plays for Mumbai Indians could have made the difference.
Pace bowling is not Afghanistan's strength. Afg must go with 4 spinners and Farooqi.

 

[Cric1234]

Afghans tried every trick in the book, better luck next time!!!!

Still Pakistan needs to play better than this to do well in the World Cup too many accumulators in the team.

 

[Champ_Pal]

How did Afghanistan bottle this?

They had this in the bag 27 to win off 2 overs

Honestly they choked. They still don't know how win against top quality sides in longer versions.

 

[Rana]

Might as well play with 4 spinners

They have no decent 2nd pacer. Rahman what a shocker!
