Pakistan fall to 12-run defeat against England in high-scoring 2nd ODI

[QalandarFan]

Singles, Singles, Singles they aren’t going to cut it!

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imad was better option than kaptaan

 

[Chokli]

He should bro, but he's a virtually a tail ender these days.

2018: Averaging 24.40 @ 78.71 SR
2019: Averaging 24.00 @ 73.85 SR

garbage player

match is gone

 

[xricket]

both sarfraz and asif are fat, so here goes our twos

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is correct.

Him and Faheem are our ONLY hitters. We need them to fire. Very important players.

LOL. Faheem is a one in 5 shot slogger. Imad is better than him.

 

[Syed1]

People expecting miracles... this will be second highest chase in history..... even India and England type sides have't chased a score this big, so I'm not expecting our lads to do it either.

 

[Slim]

England should kick themselves for letting a team like Pakistan have a sniff at chasing the total. They bowled poorly to all batsmen. As good as their batting is, they will have to bowl with better execution in the World Cup. A bowling effort like this against India, Australia or New Zealand will prove to be very costly.

Arriving at the right time.

 

[ARK Rafay]

What a shot from Asif Buttler. Jos Buttler disguising his miss.

 

[QalandarFan]

Just not good enough, Asif where are the sixes?

 

[Plumb]

Theres always a chance we can do it so support

 

[Mamoon]

Not in capacity for majority of the batsmens in the world.

No need of getting defensive. Kohli is probably the only number three batsman who can chase 370, and that is why he is the greatest of all time. Not criticising Babar, it was simply not the type of situation in which he can thrive, but he played as well as he could have in this situation.

 

[MRSN]

Pakistani fans: Sarfraz is a keeper, no need to bat well

*Jos Butler explodes*

Pakistani fans:

View attachment 91159

Sarfraz: I will bat at 4 and lead from front.
England put up a 374 total.
Sarfraz: surprised Pikachu face.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sarfraz can't even get the ball out of pitch area.

 

[Plumb]

Just not good enough, Asif where are the sixes?

Not bowling in his Arch.. bowling short to him. lets see how he does

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Sarfraz looks hopeless here.

You're right we're expecting a miracle when your main man has the above stats.

 

[Mamoon]

He was playing a perfect innings. It was a very soft dismissal.

He would eventually been dismissed anyway while trying to hit big. Other number 3s like Root, Williamson, Smith etc. cannot chase these totals either. Only Kohli can.

 

[Azzurri]

Sarfraz really needs to sort out his playing position. If he can't hit big he shouldn't be batting below 5 at max

 

[Chokli]

This was fun while it lasted.

Time for normalacy

 

[ARK Rafay]

Finally a boundary from our Skipper.
Leading from the front

 

[adzzy786]

Captain is going to cost us the game

 

[Mamoon]

The cleanest strike by Sarfaraz since 2016.

 

[JibranAnsari]

only fakhar zaman played to win today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need boundaries here , singles will not help them

 

[Titan24]

Intent from Sarfaraz

 

[KingKhanWC]

English commies need to stop with the bias but it's always Ward and Guha.

Where is Bumble?

Shot lad, skipper has arrived.

 

[Slim]

Sarfraz could very well redeem himself if he wins Pakistan this match.

Big, if possible.

 

[Plumb]

Comon Sarfi... need more of these

 

[MRSN]

Standing ovation by the crowd after Sarf hits a four

 

[Titan24]

only fakhar zaman played to win today.

True and that has been the case for sometime now. Everybody is more interested in records and centuries rather than winning it for the team

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally Kaptaan’s first choka in years!

 

[topspin]

The cleanest strike by Sarfaraz since 2016.

 

[Green Patriot]

Saifi ko Butler wali feels arai hongi

 

[Hasan123]

I would rather Asif Ali starts than Malik.

 

[QalandarFan]

Asif Buttler

 

[Titan24]

Shot Asif

 

[Mercurial]

It will be a shame if we don't chase it now.

 

[Slim]

Finally a straight drive, thankyou Asif Ali.

 

[KingKhanWC]

wide.

Trying too hard English bowlers, they are defo worried about losing this game and rightly so.

Four more. Shot

 

[QalandarFan]

I would rather Asif Ali starts than Malik.

Yes indeed, but now it seems they will drop Haris in his place.

 

[Mamoon]

England need both Archer and Wood. Only one of Woakes, Plunkett and Willey should play.

If they are cannon fodder on these pitches against a third class Pakistan side, one can only image what better teams would do to them. Their batsmen cannot score 350+ every game.

 

[Titan24]

Asif is the key wicket for us here

 

[MRSN]

Good stuff Asif. It's doable. Just need to keep the fight

 

[Plumb]

worry on Morgan's face...rightly so... Also worries on Pakistan Haters!!!!

 

[UP]

This is chase-able. Need a blinder from someone. Asif Ali preferably.

 

[KingKhanWC]

It will be a shame if we don't chase it now.

Defo, huge moment for Pakistan, a win here will give the boys immense confidence and make other sides worry. A loss will hurt.

 

[Syed1]

Those 20 run Hasan shuper ishtar overs will hurt us now

 

[Hasan123]

Yes indeed, but now it seems they will drop Haris in his place.

Sarfraz said Hafeez will bat at 4. Malik at 6. Sarfraz said he will bat at 6. That would be an awful line up.

 

[Plumb]

78 off 48 ..need to close the gap by 10-15 in next over...

 

[AFM]

Sarfraz needs to run more urgently. Need to convert those 1's to 2's.

 

[KingKhanWC]

England need both Archer and Wood. Only one of Woakes, Plunkett and Willey should play.

Bechaara hope you're not too upset. )

Damn, that ghussa

 

[QalandarFan]

The hater already out here coming up with excuses for England )

 

[Syed1]

More than England, Pak and Saifi haters will be worried.

 

[Plumb]

Damn, that ghussa

its been burning inside and out

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Some of these balls should have been put away for boundaries.

 

[Smudger]

Why did'nt india chase 322 vs eng if it is that easy?

 

[sindhiboy]

i can't believe im saying this, but pak can actually win this if imad wasim is in form

 

[ARK Rafay]

England bowlers trying too hard

 

[KingKhanWC]

Positive is a big outfield means the odd mishit can always fall safe.

Winwiz changes its mind like the English weather.

 

[Plumb]

Bring Nasir Hussein in the comm box

 

[emranabbas]

We need twos if now boundaries

 

[topspin]

Sarfraz is such a hack

 

[Titan24]

Need 5 more sixes for Asif in next 46 balls and we will be cruising

 

[Chokli]

gatiya player Sarfraz

 

[Slim]

Shot towards the fine leg, not bad Asif. Cmon more variation.

 

[Titan24]

Just need 5 sixes in total and we will be needing less than run a ball

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz said Hafeez will bat at 4. Malik at 6. Sarfraz said he will bat at 6. That would be an awful line up.

Yes Malik just shouldn’t play, for the sake of Pakistan.

 

[Hasan123]

300 . Well done boys.

 

[MRSN]

That ball deserved a boundary

 

[Badboy_1]

usless player sarfraz

 

[Nasty Naz]

Gotta give Pakistan credit for turning this into a nail biter. Figured match was basically over after the first 30 overs of first innings but its been excellent batting today.

Need Asif Ali to go big tonight.

 

[UP]

Somehow a 20 run over will make this much much easier.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shot larkey!

 

[QalandarFan]

300 up!

 

[Hasan123]

Yes Malik just shouldn’t play, for the sake of Pakistan.

Our captain said he is the backbone of our team.

 

[Mueez]

Positive intent shown by Pakistan batting.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Great off drive Asif. Nice.

 

[JibranAnsari]

England is very overhyped as a team , india are the real deal.

 

[MRSN]

Some confidence in Asif batting now with this offside shot.
