Afridi needs to wake up!

He’s being too casual in this game

 

[Rana]

Afridi has to bowl some overs. He is way to casual

[Human786]

Afridi hands momentum back to West Indies.

Take your 3 jumpers off and bowl properly!

Thats probably Final man

 

[Rana]

Pakistan were 135-7 in 16 overs

They pushed the score to 198. Remarkable

 

[Rana]

Where did they find this Frodo Baggins umpire?

 

[Ahmed216]

This is revenge for the defeat in 1979 world cup semi-final

 

[Rana]

According to Waqar, Pakistan’s top 3 all rounders in T20i format:

1. Shahid Afridi
2. Shoaib Malik
3. Sohail Tanvir

 

[Rana]

What is Malik doing???

 

[sweep_shot]

This is revenge for the defeat in 1979 world cup semi-final

It could also be a revenge for 2019 WC or 2015 WC group stage game.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Younis khan as new t20 captain for Pakistan.. Anyone agree??

 

[Rana]

How can you so sure that Pakistan will win this match ?? 10-2

You were saying?

 

[mominsaigol]

Afridi 2 for 40. Should replace him for razzaq next game tbh

 

[Rana]

Afridi 2 for 40. Should replace him for razzaq next game tbh

I think Afridi should focus on saving his son in law’s career and reputation for the time being and let Razzaq play cricket

 

[FearlessRoar]

PAKCH 198/8(20)
WICH 178(19.5)

Pakistan Champions won by 20 runs

 

[mominsaigol]

I think Afridi should focus on saving his son in law’s career and reputation for the time being and let Razzaq play cricket

A few mistakes in this game,

A) Don't bowl Yamin for 3 overs straight. 2 overs at the start is enough then replace him for sohail Khan, wahab or Arafat.

B) Don't play Afridi period. He's dead weight.

Also tbh Malik and Misbah have to play, better these 2 then taufeeq umar but imo, Malik and Misbah should only come if needed.

Malik has no business in the top order. YK should promote himself, or if the openers are off to a flier then send razzaq or Aamer Yamen at no 4

 

[Cricket Warrior]

The way Pakistan started their innings, if Babar and co were playing they would have been bundled out under 100 runs for sure.
