What's new

Pakistan [342/8] beat Bangladesh [341/7] by two wickets in the ICC Champions Trophy warm-up

about 150 required in 15 overs with two set batsmen at the crease. shouldn't be impossible to chase down with modern day batting.
 
Wish we had a telecast of the match. Lot of posters are making their own assumptions based on the scorecard they see
 
Looks like Mian is learning tricks to prolong career till 2023 ..............
 
SA chasing similar target and just look at the difference in their approach :facepalm:

Pakistan were going by similar approach to South Africa now. SA is scoring at run rate of 5.8 . The only difference being De Kock and devilliers have higher gears to switch to while Pakistani batsmans were batting at their top gear. Cut long story short- Approach is not the only problem but ability(lack of) is also.
 
Lol he has played 30 balls when exactly is he planning to be settled?

Maybe I exaggerated. Imad has a good cricketing brain and some sharp wits about his batting and bowling. He will do well if given proper chances up the order. My two cents.
 
Bangladesh will want wickets right now

Imad.and Malik both dangerous batsmen.

5 fielders out in the last 10 these days. Shouldn't keep more than 90 for the last 10
 
BD captain being proactive bringing back Taskin to look for wickets.
 
Bangladesh bowling with all part timer? Sarkar, Musaddek, Sunzamul, saiful none of them bowl in real match.
Still Pakistan can't make runs, hmm

BD has just finished a series in UK and have match practice. This is our first match and actually we are well on our way to chasing this.

That's true, they shouldn't have left this many runs to chase this late. But with sensible modern day batting, 150 should be chaseable with two set batsmen over the span of 15 overs. Problem is one of them will probably get out trying to accelerate, and we'll probably be all out around 270-280 which is our average 2nd innings score in ODIs
 
MashaAllah Shadab Khan showing off his Test match credentials.

Good, let him get batting practice. Who cares about the win.

It's not about caring for the win. It looks like they decided to not play Haris and Fakhar and giving practice to tailenders. Why not have them at and then decide who should be in the starting XI? Anyway, we were never looking to just win here, it's all about practice.
 
I don't understand Pakistan's approach here. Is there a Shahid Afridi waiting for his turn that can get us these runs? The lack of intent is horrific to say the least. Dot balls galore.

This is a practice match according to some posters hence going for a win isn't important. Maybe the batters are practicing their Test match skills in the middle.
 
Mashrafee's man love for Taskin needs to come to an end, even Akram Khan can bowl faster than Taskin

Making excuses for these inept clowns will get us nowhere. There is absolutely no intent whatsoever. For all the talk Mickey Arthur has done, his team has done completely the opposite on the pitch.

Not a bad chase by Pakistani standards. Would have been a straightforward win against WI B.
 
no wonder runout is ineveitable here right now! at this moment everyone must be running like running for tatti :))

Pakistan have always done well in tournaments where we lost the practice matches before the main ones. Example - 1992 wc, 2009 t20 wc. Last CT, we won 2 matches and didn't win a single match in the main round.

Summary - These practice matches are strictly for practice -- to settle in and acclimatize to conditions, but not for winning :)
 
You want him to be replaced by Shafiul?

Both Shafiul and Taskin are not International Standards. We need mystery bowlers like Mustafiz, I guess Taskin is our best, but the kid's action kinda ruined him. He's useless now

They are waiting for Fahim Don to smash some helicopters. :inzi
 
If Pakistan beat India, deductive reasoning could imply that Bangladesh>Pakistan>India. :kohli
 
I was out of home busy with shopping
and tarabih salat .Bangladesh just hammered Pakistani bowlers.Some well known Pakistani posters were talking highly of their attack.I said that this attack is not much different from the attack which got hammered for 444 .Bangladeshi batsmen has shown where this attack belongs to.India will score 400 plus against them.
