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

[Nasty Naz]

Babar gets a much needed boundary.

 

[Firebat]

Would be a tough challenge for debutant Haris to come in next with the run rate mounting.

 

[Firebat]

Rizwan's first boundary on his 34th ball. Much-needed.

 

[Omer2002]

They have left the run rate go too high

 

[Saj]

90 needed off 11 overs.

Making a bit of a meal of this chase.

 

[Ahmed216]

Bobby probably playing for his 100 now. More dots recently and refused an easy single last over

 

[Amjid Javed]

90 needed off 11 overs.

Making a bit of a meal of this chase.

If they lose this, just like 1st ODI vs Aussies questions need to be asked over the pathetic conservative batting approach early on.

 

[imshally81]

We still need one or two decent batsmen in the middle order...

 

[Ahmed216]

WI have bowled decently last few overs ive been watching. Bowling with plans

 

[Amjid Javed]

14 runs from last 3 overs, utter pathetic batting.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hard to believe this is a 90 run partnership at nearly run a ball. Hasn't felt like it.

 

[Ab Fan]

Bobby has slowed down reaching close to the milestone

 

[imshally81]

100 for Babar

 

[Ab Fan]

Where is Shimron Hetmyer these days?

 

[Kroll]

Congrats to Babar.

 

[Nasty Naz]

86 needed off last 10 overs. Game on.

 

[imshally81]

6 by Rizwan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another Babar century. What a player.

 

[Ahmed216]

Where is Shimron Hetmyer these days?

He usually experiences fitness problems either side of the IPL

 

[Kroll]

Pakistan should ease home from here.

 

[nextover666666]

100 runs by Babar he is a run machine

 

[Markhor]

Where is Shimron Hetmyer these days?

Keeps failing fitness tests.

 

[Nasty Naz]

6 centuries in 9 matches for Babar against WI. Crazy.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Wicket at a wrong time.

 

[Sunzi]

Babar

Rizwan see it out

 

[Omer2002]

Ermmm there was no need for that run ratw is still 8.5...he looked tired and started to slog since last over or so

 

[Villager6964]

Alzarri Joseph has been very impressive with pace. Good to see him bowling at high pace in these conditions.

 

[imshally81]

Bahar didn't finish it again...

 

[Ahmed216]

A tired shot from bobby. Not surprising in a match where umpire had to leave the field

 

[Snowflake]

How many times have such slots come off for Babar? Weird that he'd even go for something like that.

 

[Kroll]

Khushdil has been poor last few outings, hope he steps up.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good lengths to bowl to Pak batsmen

 

[Villager6964]

Yeah khushdil hack Shah against real pace is not gonna end well.
I would like alzarri Joseph to give him some chin music.

 

[Ahmed216]

Khushdil has been poor last few outings, hope he steps up.

Poor batsman. Havent seen a more pathetic off side batsman

 

[Nasty Naz]

56 runs needed off 40 balls and 7 wickets in hand. It should be very doable but Pakistan middle order have often collapsed in this scenario.

 

[AAli98]

Poor batsman. Havent seen a more pathetic off side batsman

There was a player called Danish Aziz recently, never mind offside play he could barley hold the bat..

 

[Saj]

Really have dragged this out.

A bit more intent earlier and this match could have been over with a few overs to spare.

 

[Ahmed216]

There was a player called Danish Aziz recently, never mind offside play he could barley hold the bat..

Havent seen danish bat at all. Does he also bat like he's cutting wood?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Khushdil is kind of player who missess 10 out 8 balls and manages to hit remaining. Need to get rid of him.

 

[Kroll]

Poor batsman. Havent seen a more pathetic off side batsman

There was a player called Danish Aziz recently, never mind offside play he could barley hold the bat..

Good to see the quality of batsmen coming through...

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan out

 

[Kroll]

Riz gone!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rizu gone. Haris needs to show some skills here

 

[Ahmed216]

Really have dragged this out.

A bit more intent earlier and this match could have been over with a few overs to spare.

Rizwan needs to be blamed more than anyone else.

 

[nextover666666]

wicket falling at the wrong time- I think Windies are favorites now

 

[Omer2002]

Very lucky if we win this...we did set it up but it doesnt work all the time just saving wickets at the end

 

[Ahmed216]

Will be difficult to win from here on a sticky pitch

 

[Nasty Naz]

Well well well. Who will Pakistan send in now. It should be Haris but might be hesitant to send the rookie out in this situation.

 

[Kroll]

wicket falling at the wrong time- I think Windies are favorites now

If Khushdil's leg side hoicks pay off, we'll win.

 

[Saj]

Messing this up now.

Really needed Babar or Rizwan to see the side home.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What is the point of debuting Haris if you trust his abilities ?

 

[Kaddy]

Rizwan played too slow for his first 20 balls. That has made this chase very difficult.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shadab comes out. Colour me shocked that the team think tank doesn't send in the batsmen whose role is supposed to be for scenarios like this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pathetic batting all our batsmen bat like snails then suddenly decide to play a few shots when RR gets out of control.

Absolute Dogs dinner of a run chase.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan played too slow for his first 20 balls. That has made this chase very difficult.

All our batsmen played like snails early on. Rizwan being biggest culprits.

 

[Ahmed216]

I dont get it. Haris playing as a batter but not sent in. This was a great opportunity to see what he's made of. They should have backed him

 

[Ahmed216]

Khushdil running like school kids

 

[Omer2002]

I said we would lose the series...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Khushdil, 7 runs off 12 balls and hasn't even looked to play a big shot.

Pakistan middle order... just a huge sigh.

 

[Ahmed216]

WI may just win this only by bowling short to our batsmen

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Seems like we have run out of steam.

 

[shariqnoor]

I don't understand this Pakistani logic of never trusting new players to do the job. Why can't Mohammad Haris be trusted with the responsibility of closing out this match? Haris showed it in the PSL that he has the ability to strike big. At least trust him. They will send Nawaz in next for sure I think.

 

[imshally81]

666

 

[nextover666666]

I can even accept has losing it happens- but because this is super league match, and high chance we play qualifiers this is not acceptable.

 

[Omer2002]

All their bowlers played IPL so are good death bowlers

 

[nextover666666]

SIX lets go we need more

 

[imshally81]

Back to back Sixes

 

[NeVerMind]

Finally HappyHeart hits one out of the park

 

[nextover666666]

OMG ANOTHER ONE lets gooooo

 

[JaDed]

PCT might win this but hopefully ICT think tank is watching their approach.

 

[imshally81]

3rd 6 in a row

 

[Ahmed216]

He can hit if its in the slot

 

[Omer2002]

Ermmm ok i take my words back for my MATE khushiii

 

[NeVerMind]

3 in a row for HappyHeart!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Finally a big hit. Why not attempt a big shot like this earlier instead of letting the run rate go way higher.

 

[nextover666666]

Ladies and gents we have opened up a new airline and its called AIR KHUSHDIL what a shot

 

[Nasty Naz]

Khushdil going berzerk like we saw vs Australia. Great stuff here.

 

[imshally81]

Easy Shaddy Easy...

 

[imshally81]

Sensible batting by Shah now

 

[imshally81]

Shadab gone... What a heck...
