Pakistan v Afghanistan | Match 36, World Cup | Leeds | 29th June, 2019 | Afghanistan innings

[QalandarFan]

If only Shaheen kept it a bit more tight. Could of had another wicket by now.

 

[Executioner]

Shaheen Shah was magnificent in the last match. Spell of the tournament, bowling reallly poor here. Feel the wickets were from bad balls but poor execution for Afghanistan batsman.

This is the story of Afghanistan this tournament. They have 4 50s in the entire tournament. Shakib, Babar both have atleast 4 50+ scores in the tournament so far.

 

[BleedGreen]

Even 250 looks like an easy chase here. But for the sake of NRR keep them under 180

 

[BleedGreen]

Scoops it for

57/2

[Rifaqat]

If a fast bowler bowled at ikram for a full over then he will get out. Poor captaincy by Sarfaraz

[ekpakistani]

Keep bowling darter this is what happens

 

[Markhor]

Lacklustre fielding yaar

 

[Ahmed216]

What would complete our bowling attack is a right arm seamer who can swing the new ball and a gun specialist spinner.

Three left arm pacers is a bit one dimensional.

Is there a good spinner in Pak?

 

[Gullycricket]

Hafeez buddha retire hoja

 

[Madplayer]

I think this is the best batting track so far in the world cup.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Rahmat looks too comfortable

 

[MMHS]

Imad gets a lot of flak here and to an extent I understand it but he is so good at choking the opposition.

Do you really need to choke opposition, when they are two down inside 6 overs? IICRC, Imad hasn’t taken a wicket in this WC, when wickets are quite helpful to spinners. PAK is simply allowing to drift the game away - NRR could be an issue at the end and I am sure better idea was to play Hasnain & target Afghan helmet - has PCT tank noticed AFG batting against short ball?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Outtt

 

[BleedGreen]

Imad gets Rahmat

 

[big_gamer007]

Keep bowling darter this is what happens

Lol now?

 

[Fahdi]

Hafeez is costing us 10 runs at least every game due to his fielding.

 

[ekpakistani]

 

[IAJ]

Leaking too many runs here.

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to get this Rahmat Shah guy out, the rest of them should crumble.

As I type Imad gets him!

 

[Gullycricket]

Imad is so predictable yaar

 

[castortroy]

Wow some really soft wickets here

Afghan spinners will cause us a lot of issues here

 

[Mueez]

Outtttt Rahmat goes.

 

[Titan24]

Key wicket

 

[Markhor]

Big wicket of Rahmat !

 

[Ronaldo7]

rahmat looks too comfortable

outtttttt

 

[Mean&Green]

I was about to make fun of imad but ok

 

[ekpakistani]

Lol now?

I meant for the wicket ha ha

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Big wicket for Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

Shabash Imad

 

[BleedGreen]

Lets trigger a collapse boys get 6-7 wickets under 100

 

[ScotRaz]

Hafeez is costing us 10 runs at least every game due to his fielding.

Defo showing his age

 

[amirm]

Excellent performance by imad so far

 

[Asif321]

Luckily wicket

 

[Mueez]

150 all out anyone...?

 

[member250]

If IMAD is turning then thats bad news for Pakistan batting.

 

[Titan24]

Wow some really soft wickets here

Afghan spinners will cause us a lot of issues here

There is no spin at the moment, this one was slightly straighter from Imad unlike his normal indrift

 

[QalandarFan]

Even 250 looks like an easy chase here. But for the sake of NRR keep them under 180

Yeah looks like we will and this seems like a flat wicket hope if we restrict them to around 150 we chase it down in 20.

 

[Mainul]

Game over

 

[MMHS]

This one is a good wicket - Rahman is their best batsman.

 

[BleedGreen]

57/3 after 12 overs.

Why is Hafeez back on

 

[Afridi96]

Good catch

 

[QalandarFan]

Luckily wicket

It’s called playing a minnow.

 

[amirm]

If IMAD is turning then thats bad news for Pakistan batting.

Pak have got good players of spin

 

[ekpakistani]

Bring pacers on now ... stop this spin experiment

 

[QalandarFan]

If IMAD is turning then thats bad news for Pakistan batting.

We just finished beating NZ on a Day 5 Test Pitch...

 

[BleedGreen]

Need shadab and imad on

 

[saeed5646]

Ikram will get out soon

 

[WebGuru]

For the first time after a long time i am seeing Afghans not slowing down even with fall of wickets otherwise they start their usual tuk tuking after a couple of wickets are down.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ok guys wicket is coming in this over

Told yahhh

 

[Mueez]

After this Amir and Shaheen should come on for 2 overs...

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

afghanis will have a field day on this pitch

 

[BleedGreen]

We just finished beating NZ on a Day 5 Test Pitch...

They had one spinner. Afg has 3

 

[QalandarFan]

After this Amir and Shaheen should come on for 2 overs...

I’d bring Shadab on it’s turning let’s go for the kill.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

For the first time after a long time i am seeing Afghans not slowing down even with fall of wickets otherwise they start their usual tuk tuking after a couple of wickets are down.

Because poor bowling by our biwlers..

 

[Ronaldo7]

afghanis will have a field day on this pitch

What??
It's a batting pitch.
The Afghan batsmen just threw their wickets away

 

[member250]

afghanis will have a field day on this pitch

Will not matter if bowled out under 250.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

why does sarfu say 'big shot coming lads' is that a pressure tactic?

 

[Mueez]

I’d bring Shadab on it’s turning let’s go for the kill.

Need to get attacking bowlers.

Wahab and Shadab maybe?

 

[BleedGreen]

62/3 after 13 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

They had one spinner. Afg has 3

3 mediocre spinners. Go look at their stats against top teams and then come back.

 

[Ahmed216]

We just finished beating NZ on a Day 5 Test Pitch...

Afghans have better and more spinners

 

[saeed5646]

Stankzai is good batsmen

 

[pakpassfan]

as I said before too easy against minnows..one minnow will be down today another minnow to go

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need to attack with proper line

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

is it not spinning?

 

[Ronaldo7]

Afghans have better and more spinners

Overrated

 

[BleedGreen]

3 mediocre spinners. Go look at their stats against top teams and then come back.

Dont need to. Know you are right.

 

[Mean&Green]

Even that last ball this uncle Afghan was so late onto it

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This one is a good wicket - Rahman is their best batsman.

Definitely. You can see it in the Afghan faces, they are distraught with that wicket.

 

[QalandarFan]

Afghans have better and more spinners

Yes averages of 70+ in this world cup certainly have proved this. I’ve already wrote about this in depth I’m not going to get into it again this early in the morning.

 

[member250]

What is with Pakistanis fans and horn? Embarrassing.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

One more wicket is on card

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[saeed5646]

Told you he is good batsmen good shot

 

[Markhor]

Wow Ian Bishop and Wasim Akram with impressive knowledge of UK geography.

 

[imshally81]

Afghan living on the edge

 

[Fahdi]

That square boundary is really short.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need to bring wahab...this guys looks aggressive

 

[Markhor]

Lucky
