Pakistan (306/5) defeat West Indies (305/8) by 5 wickets in the 1st ODI

[Rana]

Shadab
Rauf
Imam
Harris
Rizwan

Pakistan has some top class fielders in the XI

Not to forget

Fakhar
Nawaz
Hassan

These three are also quite good as well. Babar and Khushdil are very safe boundary catchers

 

[Kroll]

Windies have done well, Pak know they’re in a game.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shadab
Rauf
Imam
Harris
Rizwan

Fakhar.

This is where it mattered having a guy like Malik who is so fit and a great fielder for young guys to watch everyday and look up to.

 

[Marooned]

Playing Hasan ali in white ball is complete injustice at this point.

He averages 67 since 2019. Keeps on giving garbage performances but still no sign of him being dropped just because he is friends with the skipper.

 

[Marooned]

Not to forget

Fakhar
Nawaz
Hassan

Fakhar and Nawaz are excellent. Hasan is garbage at fielding too.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar and Nawaz are excellent. Hasan is garbage at fielding too.

Hassan is a garbage bowler but let’s not get carried away. He is much, much better than the flat footed bowler/fielders we have had in the past like Mohammad Irfan and Rahat Ali etc

 

[Rana]

Is 6x6 on?

 

[Rana]

Lucky Nawaz

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pak will need another Babar Azam masterclass to chase down what seems will be 320+.

Windies arent the weak team anymore.

 

[Shafi]

To be honest, WI has far more fire-power, and talent than our team. Our team is full of accumulators except in-consistent Fakhar.

 

[Marooned]

Hassan is a garbage bowler but let’s not get carried away. He is much, much better than the flat footed bowler/fielders we have had in the past like Mohammad Irfan and Rahat Ali etc

Sure he isn't as bad as them but still pretty poor.
I'd say he is the second worst fielder in the team behind Shaheen.

 

[Shafi]

Pak will need another Babar Azam masterclass to chase down what seems will be 320+.

Windies arent the weak team anymore.

No, we need another Fakhar/Hope/porun type of batsman to chase over 320+.

 

[Marooned]

I know Nawaz has really improved his batting and his bowling isn't bad at all but I really really doubt if he can ever be better than Imad. In odis Imad has been a true AR and ridiculously consistent.

 

[nextover666666]

If Pak can restrict W.I to 310-315 I think they can chase it down.

 

[Shafi]

WI should make most of Hasan Ali's bowling.

 

[Marooned]

No, we need another Fakhar/Hope/porun type of batsman to chase over 320+.

Hope type?

What???

Hope is slower than Imam.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Hasan Ali has become a run of the mill trundler now. He was so good 4 years ago.

 

[pratiktc]

Windies will likely top out at 280-90...other than Pooran, rest of the hitters are more miss than hit

 

[pratiktc]

Won't be able to smash against Rauf and Shaheen

 

[sweep_shot]

Slow from West Indies. Pakistan should chase this down.

 

[Shafi]

Hope type?

What???

Hope is slower than Imam.

Bigger hitting ability.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another great catch by Shadab.

 

[nextover666666]

he is mean, he is lean, he is a catching machine, Shadab strikes, caught and bowl

 

[nextover666666]

with that wicket- Shadab now has 63 odi wickets in his career same number as Sarfraz Nawaz in terms of ODI career wickets.

 

[Champ_Pal]

All of the good WI batsmen are restricted to IPL only. Hetmeyer and Pollard should be in their ODI and T20 teams.

 

[nextover666666]

Great stop by Nawaz

 

[Kroll]

A 300+ chase will make it interesting. Windies on course here.

But what I have seen is, Babar is confident in his team's ability to chase large totals unlike his predecessors before him.

 

[Firebat]

WI 237/4 after 43 overs.

Good fightback from Pakistan, Windies will do well to make 300 now.

 

[NauV]

The best in Pakistans current set-up

Pakistan's best ever . . by a country mile . . there's nothing Pakistani about his fielding style (diving, the way he covers ground, the way he throws the ball, agility, etc.) just like there was nothing Pakistani about Imran Butt's slip catching . .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

this is a pretty good crowd btw, i;m pleasantly surprised!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rauf with a nice slower one to finally get Hope. Excellent innings by Hope.

 

[Marooned]

Bigger hitting ability.

Which is barely ever seen. He played a garbage innings here btw.

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan's best ever . . by a country mile . . there's nothing Pakistani about his fielding style (diving, the way he covers ground, the way he throws the ball, agility, etc.) just like there was nothing Pakistani about Imran Butt's slip catching . .

True Shadab is the best ever in Pakistan in terms of fielding.
Imran Butt Slip catching is something indeed.

 

[nextover666666]

good effort for hitting the wickets.

 

[imshally81]

WI 237/4 after 43 overs.

Good fightback from Pakistan, Windies will do well to make 300 now.

i don't think.... Max 285

 

[DeadlyVenom]

) hassan.

he is finished man.

 

[Shafi]

Babar brings is friend to help him out.

 

[nextover666666]

Hasan Ali really has no clue

 

[imshally81]

Hasan Ali is leaking runs as usual

 

[imshally81]

Review Time...

 

[Shafi]

Hasan Ali really has no clue

This guy is playing because of his connection. Any top team would discarded him long ago.

 

[imshally81]

Not out imo..

 

[Ahmed216]

Hasan Ali is leaking runs as usual

Match winner is forcing babar to take stupid reviews

 

[Champ_Pal]

) hassan.

he is finished man.

You guys need Dahani or Naseem Shah.

 

[nextover666666]

I know Man, I loved Hassan Ali back in the day, but if your past your prime, gotta make room for others, he seems like a great guy, but time to move on.

 

[imshally81]

We are missing 6th bowler here

 

[Shafi]

We need professional coaches to get rid of non-performers.

 

[imshally81]

Match winner is forcing babar to take stupid reviews

Not a bad call as we already have 2 reviews...

 

[Marooned]

You guys need Dahani or Naseem Shah.

Dahani is incredible in white ball imo. He walks into the 11 if the team is chosen on merit.

 

[Shafi]

We are missing 6th bowler here

We have Khusdul and Wasim. But poor captaincy as usual

 

[DeadlyVenom]

You guys need Dahani or Naseem Shah.

Yeah, someone else must be tried.

 

[Shafi]

Match winner is forcing babar to take stupid reviews

1 wicket would give him another 20-30 matches.

 

[imshally81]

We have Khusdul and Wasim. But poor captaincy as usual

Who is Wasim in playing XI ??

 

[Nasty Naz]

Massive 6.

 

[imshally81]

Wide 6 wide... Haris Rauf in action

 

[nextover666666]

300 plus is very possible from here on end.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Too many wides and free runs for Westies.

 

[imshally81]

Now 4444

 

[TheSultan]

Rubbish tactics with this leg side field

 

[Omer2002]

awful bowling ..already too much for our batters

 

[Champ_Pal]

330 seems to be par score here. Westies will be 25 runs short I think.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky runs for WIs

 

[Shafi]

Who is Wasim in playing XI ??

Muhammad Wasim!!! Allrounder

 

[sweep_shot]

Good acceleration from West Indies.

They are now looking good for 310-315.

 

[imshally81]

Finally Out

 

[nextover666666]

Shadab hitting the fielder and asking hows that hahahaha funny stuff

 

[Firebat]

Was a brilliant over up until that final ball.

 

[nextover666666]

holy what a six

 

[as-95]

Glad we have Shadab back. Hasan Ali needs to be discarded ASAP. Trash bowler

 

[nextover666666]

Wicket- Wreck it RAUF

 

[nextover666666]

Another wicket- good catch by Hassan Ali

 

[nextover666666]

W.I finish with 305 runs- Pakistan will need 306 to win

 

[Rana]

Should be an easy chase with a hundred for Babar and Imam

Westies are 25 runs short of a par score.

 

[Marooned]

Muhammad Wasim!!! Allrounder

Wasim isn't playing. It's mohd Haris. Wicket keeper batsmen

 

[Rellu_Katta]

We should close down all domestic teams, throw out all the players (bowlers) bcz obviously the pea brain of Babar cannot understand that Hassan Ali is garbage....

why spend so much money on domestic compititions .... shame on u Babar

Oh he understands very well.

He is just doing it because he is friends with him. He knows once dahani comes in, it's game over for hasan. A captain simply cannot afford to do that.

 

[Omer2002]

Have these guys heard of strike rotation..thats why we lose matches
