Pakistan Shaheens v Bangladesh 'A' toss update:

Pakistan Shaheens have won the toss and are batting first.

This Pakistan XI on paper looks stronger and more in balance as compared to any XI with Babar and Rizwan in the side.

 

[Rana]

Hoping for Yasir Khan or Khwaja Nafay to nail the 3rd opener spot in place of Fakhar if injured

 

[Rana]

Ubaid Shah

Shahid Aziz

Too many of these Multan Sultan jobbers!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Where has Ali Raza disappeared???

 

[Rana]

My Boy Faiq also there

Good luck lad!

 

[Rana]

Where has Ali Raza disappeared???

Wrapped in cotton wool.

 

[Rana]

Abdul Samad and Irfan Khan

The two SNGPL/Misbah parchis.

none that I know of... Cricclubs can be used to follow scores

 

[khyberlion]

Great start for Pakistan Shaheens.

 

[Rana]

Great start for Pakistan Shaheens.

Where are you watching?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good knock from Nafay scoring 61 off 31 balls before he got run out... He was playing nicely...

 

[Ahmed216]

This Pakistan XI on paper looks stronger and more in balance as compared to any XI with Babar and Rizwan in the side.

Agreed. Not good to have mentally weak seniors in the side

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yasir khan also departed after scoring 62 off 41 balls...

 

[Ahmed216]

Faiq and Sadaqat two bright prospects imo

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Samad scoring well.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

@Ice Man @mominsaigol is this tournament near you guys?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Samad is playing a blinder here... 12 balls 34 so far

 

[Usman Chadda]

Samad has a brutal game against spin, but equally bad against pace. Keeping him around for an Asif Ali kind-of role wouldn't be such a bad thing. Has more of a power game compared to Khushdil.

 

[Hellion]

These are next generation BD players who are more talented than Saffer and Indian players according to @BDfanforever . So, dominating them at 11 RPO is a good sign for the Shaheens.

 

[BouncerGuy]

5 sixes so far by Samad as he scored third 50 of the inning...

 

[Rana]

Can someone please share a link to scorecard

 

[Rana]

Is this at the same venue as the Australia v SA series where Brevis scored 100?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Can someone please share a link to scorecard

Bangladesh need 228 to win... Beautiful batting

 

[Rana]

Oh good yar

Wonderful phenta!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Missed out on a few runs at the end, should have crossed 250. The bowling was worse than club level

[DeadlyVenom]

Good stuff from Pakistan. these players Yasir, Irfan Khan, Nafay and Samad need to be around the side.

 

[Rana]

These boys are hungry for T20 selection MashaAllah

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ubaid, shahid aziz, wasim jr, faisal, Saad Masood... this is a pretty good solid bowling unit... Should defend the target easily.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ubaid strikes early... 1 down bangladesh

 

[Rana]

This is a strong Pakistan B team

I like it. Hesson and Aqib creating depth in resources!

Khich ke rakho PCB!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nafay... that was a lazy effort... You gotta keep well to make your way into the national team,

 

[Rana]

bhai Bangladesh is on it here!

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh 50 in 3.5 overs

 

[Rana]

Wasim jr 17 in his first over

some really poor bowling on display here

 

[Rana]

First two balls down leg for Masood.

wth!!!

 

[Rana]

Pakistan on course to lose this!

 

[Rana]

Masood should simply decline bowling in the powerplay if he's crapping his pants!

 

[Rana]

Pakistan really under the pump here

 

[mominsaigol]

@Ice Man @mominsaigol is this tournament near you guys?

Why would me or @Ice Man care about this? Its an A tour between 2 teams we dont care about.

Its Au for me and Pakistan main team lol

 

[Imran Hasan]

2nd wicket down for Bangladesh. Jisan Alam should have stayed in the crease. I was rooting for him to be selected in the national team. He is a former national player Jahangir Badsha's son.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Barring one or two every players in this playing squad had played for Bangladesh national team. Some are current national squad players.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan really under the pump here

This is more like Pakistan A vs Bangladesh main team lol

 

[Rana]

Sadaqat solid all round prospect

 

[Imran Hasan]

3 wicket down!

 

[Rana]

This is more like Pakistan A vs Bangladesh main team lol

This Bangladesh team definitely has more cojones than their main team.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Match is done and dusted for BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

All of these Bengali players play in the BPL? @sweep_shot

Many of them play in BPL. Yes.

 

[Hellion]

Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby from the great 2024 under 19 batch.

13 RPO with ball. 30 strike with the bat.

Next superstar allrounder , I was told.

 

[Ice Man]

@Ice Man @mominsaigol is this tournament near you guys?

Nah mate. I'm in Perth (Western Australia) and this tournament is being held in Darwin (Northern Territory) which is a different state.

 

[sweep_shot]

Complete mauling from Pakistan. Well played.

 

[BDfanforever]

Jishan can replace Tanzid in our main squad, and Saif can replace Hridoy in number 4.

 

[Rana]

Khwaja Nafay back up keeper

Bright signs!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jishan can replace Tanzid in our main squad, and Saif can replace Hridoy in number 4.

Saif's record suggests he is the perfect player to play the Bangladesh brand of T20 cricket. Very good prospect

I see what you did there.

 

[sweep_shot]

Saif's record in T20 is not good.

 

[BDfanforever]

Yeah I am hoping he is like BD version of Shai Hope. He his working on his power game, and has improved recently.

 

[Fenrir]

Where has Ali Raza disappeared???

I could be wrong but I believe he was injured before Pakistan Shaheen’s tour of England.

Ubaid, shahid aziz, wasim jr, faisal, Saad Masood... this is a pretty good solid bowling unit... Should defend the target easily.

This is the first time I watched Shahid Aziz bowling.I think he is over hyped.He is nothing special.Akif Javel is a much better bower.He is tall and gets a lot of bounce.He is quick.In BPL he was bowling 145-148.People may question accuracy of speed guns used in BPL but he did look quick.Ubaid has good action and good pace.He is not finished product but a good prospect.

 

[Bewal Express]

At least these guys are playing some competitive teams here, compared to the absolute and expensive waste of time in England. That tour will go down as one of the biggest waste of time ever

Akif javed is decently good.

Shahid Aziz is an allrounder, not just a bowler. Pakistan pace all-round stocks have been extremely low for a long time. Invest in anyone that even has half a chance to become something decent.

But if he a genuine all rounder or a bits and pieces all rounder.

Tht was completely the non strikers fault, so not sure why he is so animated, but good to see the lads are passionate about staying at the crease

Khawaja Nafay and Yasir Khan laughed off their post-run-out heated spat:

“The thing is, we are roommates and really close friends as well. So, during the run out, I got a bit angry due to the heat of the moment. Nothing happened. We are still very good friends,”

Too early to say but that's what development is for and that is what this tour is for.

Mostly popped up in domestic last season and had a great year and some good skills in both batting & bowling department. Big year coming up for him in domestic to repeat and improve upon his last year.
