Pakistan Cup 2016 : Balochistan beat Punjab by 12 runs [PICTURES]

Riwan's strike rate is around 75 now. It was Asad who was killing the momentum. A big no for limited overs game.
 
Shaba Balochistan, time to put more pressure on them. Btw, Malik is hiding again :))

This Akbar ur Rehman is a dangerous player.
 
This guy Asad disappoints me most - he should have been No. 3/4 for a decade in this PAK ODI line-up & every time he does this; looks so good, consumes balls, build pressure & exactly when you don't want your set batsman to get out, he somehow manages that - be batting 1st or 2nd. And this time against Azhar!!!

Anyway, Punjab has a good batting depth, still should be easy chase.
 
Why isn't anyone hyping up akbar Rehman, his average is 50 with a strike rate of 86

Malik is not hiding, he is giving Akbar a chance to show his skills. Would you rather watch Akbar bat or Malik? Plus playing spinners is Malik's strong suit, so why would he hide?
 
Haha Azhar with the golden arm. Rizwan played well but over use of the sweep shot was going to cause his downfall
 
How old is Akbar? His List A stats are crazy good, can bowl a bit as well.

Malik should bat up the order, he is coming at six which isn't good. He is way way experienced player, he knows how to build the innings, how to go according to situation.

He would have done much much better job then others on this kind of pitch. And i think now he don't have much time to settle down and he needs to score from the first ball.
 
Rizwan just got robbed by the umpire. no way in hell that ball was going to hit the stumps.

Malik coming up the order means we won't get to see most of Rizwan and Akbar. And moving Shafiq down the order would make him further useless. If we don't get to see the new talent bat what's the point of this cup?
 
Good stuff bowling pacer to Malik. Let's see if Gul gets reverse

Well it will happen when you will go with players like Shan Masood, and play him as an opener. They can't sit out Masood and Butt both, so they will face such batting order. You can't go with 2 openers who plays Test cricket in ODIs.

Gone! Good captaincy bringing Gul now

So? Most of his excellent domestic performances have come while opening and he should replace Shehzad in ODIs and T20s as opener. Youre supposed to give a good young batsman a chance.
He should be given a long run in LOI at #3 or maximum #4. Fakhar zaman should replace Shezzy

How come Gul performs in league matches but fail miserably in International matches?
 

I can see that clicking his name at CricInfo.

I was asking to posters who might have "known" him. It's possible to debut a 32 years 10 months old guy; but make it 35, 36 or 38 years; then the problem starts.

These are the best openers in Pakistan and selected in the squad. What do you want to do? Select openers from Australia?
 
Pakistani domestic commentators love over praising Malik

Let's watch Fakhar first. 4 is too low for Babar. 3 is fine but if Haris comes back then Babar will have to open

Tbh I think this time he looks his age. At least he's fit
 
Good stop. I think it's enough from Azhar. Bring Junaid now until Malik gets out. Then Usama

azha will open with hafeez thats for sure and if akbar performs then hafeez at 3 and babar at 4

If Azhar remains captain then top 4 should be

Azhar
Babar
Hafeez
Haris

In the long term. Fakhar can replace Haris until Haris is fit
 
Wicket, ball, quality of batting or bowling .... I don't know (I do know the fielding standard though), but this is beyond pathetic - a match between PAK's top 60 cricketers & the game is matching modern T20 scores in 50 overs.

Hahahahah Azhar bowling a match winning spell. And he gets his counterpart

two young promising players in the middle..... hope both fight till the end regardless of any result
 
Looks like Malik will need to play another great "domestic" knock to win a target of 215.

Haha he won't be able to play one of those this time. This is strange batting. Usama was much more threading but Azhar is getting wickets
 
I really rate Yamin as a batting all rounder

Shaan and Butt are best ODI openers?? Sorry bro, then i must say my standards are way way below than yours one.

You know, it's not fair to respond with the time allowed to edit a post :(
 
Good Yorker why doesn't he keep doing that. He got some tail in

Yes in Pakistan these are generally overall the best openers which shows how poor our domestic standard is. It's not about yours or mine standards, it's about the talent available at our disposal.

THIS is as solid as red bricks wall, sadly :(
 
Azhar don't over do it. Give it to Usama

Seriously, Azhar should try to bowl more. He was by far the better spinner in NZ & now bowling great against batsmen accomplished to play spin. Not impressed with Yasir in DOI while hopefully Afridi 'll not make a come-back in ODI. If Azhar can cover up with Malik & MoHa for 20 overs, PAK can play 3 out & out bowlers/pacers instead of bits & pieces staff like Anwar or Imad in ODI.
 
I already called it. One over too many for Azhar. Give it to Usama and Junaid now
