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

[msb314]

OMG!

we have gotten much closer than I thought - lets go Pakistan!

 

[Rayyman]

This match thread is much better without Big Mac and shaz619

 

[Hamza_]

50 for Fahim.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Didnt expect pakistan to that deep into the chase , hope we rid ourselves of azhar though.

 

[captain crook]

We still consider this as practice and we're not serious about winning. Just that Bangladesh was not able to fully capitalize the situation

 

[zn426]

We might just chase this. Who knew?

India will be a much taller task though.

 

[New Yorker]

amazing how quickly two tailenders can 'get used to conditions'

 

[zn426]

Didnt expect pakistan to that deep into the chase , hope we rid ourselves of azhar though.

I think they will substitute someone else for him.

Surprised no talk of Sarfraz promoting himself up the order. He did a decent job in the 2015 world cup as an opener.

 

[imteaz]

Where are Bangla brothers? You guys were all excited when we were taking it slow. Now disappeared when we decided it was time.to put some bowlers to the axe

Who cares about a practice match? Where 50% of main players didn't play of bd.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan should try newer players. This Fahim bloke is owning it now.

exactly sit hafeez, azhar, shehzad and wahab... then they can even win this trophy.. unfortunately they will play handicapped with 7 players and while four of them play for the opponents.. which makes 15 vs 7 poor pak...

 

[msb314]

Hassan Ali should go for it all in the last 2 balls of this over and ensure Fahim is on strike for the last over.

 

[nextover666666]

I have a similar predicament in my name. It is spelled "ee" but people pronounce it right if I put an "i" there

lol the struggle is real lol but how do they spell Faheem Ashraf name cuz when he came onto the cricket scene they where showing Faheem and than when he got selected from what I remember they spelt it Fahim but on his jersey is Faheem

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Seems Pakistan won by 2wkts

 

[Markhor]

Our tailenders putting the failure of our senior batsmen in perspective.

 

[Syed1]

13 off last over... doable but hard

 

[Yatoo]

Bangladesh will still win it. So no worry Bangladeshis, you won't be ridiculed here after so much chest thumping since toss

 

[captain crook]

Who cares about a practice match? Where 50% of main players didn't play of bd.

Even Pakistan were never serious (we're without Amir, Haris) but still managed to boss it.

 

[chuck]

This guy seems better than all squad put together. Breath of fresh air.

 

[zn426]

PAK somehow keeping pace till the final over.

Any hope against India?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan require another 13 runs with 2 wickets and 6 balls remaining

 

[idrizzy]

13 off 6. Looks tough.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Fahim made the game so exciting.

 

[Markhor]

13 off the final over needed.

May only be a warmup, with a very short boundary, but even then a win could do wonders for our confidence.

 

[msb314]

13 from the last over!

Lets do this!

 

[Mainul]

They are now saying he is not taking it seriously anymore

You just said its a practice match when Pakistan were losing. Now serious after some hitting some lollipops for the first time in chase.Ha ha ha ha.

 

[nextover666666]

Some wise batting by Faheem but than again Faheem does mean wise

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Fahim should be on strike!!

 

[Hamza_]

Another six. We need Harsha Bhogle here.

 

[idrizzy]

Even Pakistan were never serious (we're without Amir, Haris) but still managed to boss it.

Mm, just Amir. Haris won't play

 

[Yatoo]

:6

 

[Watsupdoc]

Who is this Fahim Ashraf? )

 

[zn426]

Ashraf dragging Pakistan over the finish line here?

 

[Syed1]

Wow wow wow

 

[Manager101]

49.1
Mashrafe Mortaza to Fahim Ashraf, SIX

 

[msb314]

 

[Yatoo]

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

1st ball 6!!! Come on boys, Fahim finish it off

 

[ask_analyse_act]

six off the first ball of the final over by fahim...

 

[JibranAnsari]

So looks like amir will replace wahab and that will be the only change in the 11 for the match against india.

 

[Pollack]

Even though this is practise match get this bloke into the team during actual matches. You would only know if you try.

Bangladesh choking even in practis match.

 

[Syed1]

4 off 4

 

[Markhor]

Wow wow wow

An inspired selection...

 

[zn426]

Bangladesh-we got this!

Ashraf-proceeds to tonk Bangladesh at the death.

 

[captain crook]

Can anyone confirm if Shakib, Tamim, Mortaza have started crying yet?

 

[Yatoo]

4 off 4 required. Hassan on strike

 

[Boi]

bahaha how did Bangladesh lose this

 

[chuck]

Fahim should be in the squad, so who goes out?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

4 off 4!!!! COME ON HASAN ALI!!

[Rayyman]

So looks like amir will replace wahab and that will be the only change in the 11 for the match against india.

Nice, but Haris in for Azhar too.

 

[shaz619]

Who is this Fahim Ashraf? )

He averages 15 in List A ) that's enough to dethrone BD it seems

 

[zn426]

Hurry, Hasan, get a single and get off strike so Ashraf can finish it!

 

[msb314]

What a chase!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Yatoo]

The fact that he ran three means he is targeting the longer boundary,


WON

 

[Hamza_]

So looks like amir will replace wahab and that will be the only change in the 11 for the match against india.

Azhar and Wahab out, Amir and Haris in.

Hafeez
Shizzy
Babar
Haris
Malik
Sarfraz
Imad
Shadab
Fahim
Amir
Hassan

 

[Manager101]

We won !!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

pak won it...

 

[maanleo]

Although this chase is meaningless, but it's a good shutup call for some overconfident bangla fans

 

[Executioner]

Wow well done Fahim Ashraf

 

[Syed1]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss :


Where dem Bangliss at ) ) ) )



We weren't even taking it serious

 

[idrizzy]

[saeed5646]

4 off 4

mubrak hooooooooooooooo

tarawi parh ka abhe aya aur pak jeet gya

 

[Yatoo]

 

[shaz619]

How come you guys are posting as if you can see Fahim bat when this game is not televised I need some info from you though [MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] on his playing style and technique

 

[msb314]

Where my Bangla boys at )

Twice Bangladesh broke their highest score record and both times Pakistan chased down their highest every total!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

[captain crook]

Amazing how we never really showed intent but still managed to rub it and boss over Bangladesh as always... this is for you Bangla guys.. muuaahh

 

[zn426]

Or you could just win the match instead.

72 runs off the last five overs, they should have been tonking Mortaza like that all game. Poor job by Taskin Ahmed too.

 

[troodon]

Rofl

What happened. Bangla lost )

 

[Watsupdoc]

He averages 15 in List A ) that's enough to dethrone BD it seems

Even Hasan Ali was bossing them around and in the end hits the winning runs

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan didn't beat bangladesh today it was Faheem some good batting good stuff

 

[idrizzy]

I think PP has broken after this win

 

[Manager101]

Fahim Ashraf took this match seriously and grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

 

[Hamza78]

What happen now people was crying before

 

[-=Umair=-]

Bangladesh "Toygers"
Minnows For Life

 

[JibranAnsari]

Look at the partnership 93 (41) , unbelievable.

 

[Watsupdoc]

He averages 15 in List A ) that's enough to dethrone BD it seems

Even Hasan Ali was bossing them around and in the end hits the winning runs

 

[Hamza_]

This is Carnage. I was not required to sleep. [MENTION=45836]Ashraful_Rox[/MENTION]

 

[Sarfarazian92]

hahahahahahhaha what just happened ) ) )
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION], one of revolutionary's seemingly absurd selections actually paid off

 

[WebGuru]

Before this match Faheem had overall average of 15 and just one 50 in his List A career but his FC career shows he can bat big...
