[marlonbrowndo]

Good opportunity for openers to find form

 

[jattafridi]

Easy win for Pakistan

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Afghanistan are winning it.

 

[CricFan2012]

Fakhar needs a century bad here.

A quick fire century will strike surgical strike in the hearts of Indian bowlers for the semi final inshala mashala

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan should chase this...

Fakhar and Imam need to score some nice fifties.

[jattafridi]

Play 50 overs please no stupid shots

 

[BleedGreen]

Fakhar and imam need to fire

 

[jattafridi]

Just win the game don’t worry about NRR

 

[amirm]

Natural game, play the 50 overs

 

[hadi123]

This will be a very hard chase

 

[Ozeirk]

Hafeez, Babar and Haris decent players of spin. If fakhar and Imam can give us a good start this chase will be easy.

 

[hur rizvi]

Not going to be an easy chase

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Hafeez, Babar and Haris decent players of spin. If fakhar and Imam can give us a good start this chase will be easy.

Hafeez got out against part-time spinners.

 

[MRSN]

If ball starts turning like last game then Shadab will have more roses thrown at by me.

 

[Pakistanian]

Natural game, play the 50 overs

it shouldn't take any team 50 overs to chase 228.

40 overs max.

 

[hur rizvi]

it shouldn't take any team 50 overs to chase 228.

40 overs max.

Not going to happen on this track

Even if we win it will be in 48/49 over

 

[AdamM97]

Not going to happen on this track

NRR is a major issue for Pakistan, should take full advantage here to fix that.

 

[Ozeirk]

Hafeez got out against part-time spinners.

Yea he did but that doesn't mean he is a bad player of spin. He played a stupid shot.

 

[goran]

Pakistan should chase it down with ease. Tbh, if you can't chase 227 against AFG, you have no right to be in the semis.

 

[light]

AFG players/board members talks too much but can't show anything on field

 

[light]

NRR is a major issue for Pakistan, should take full advantage here to fix that.

There is no point on trying to fix nrr this late in the tournament. Only way for pak to qualify is by winning it all and hope that England screws one match out of two.

 

[msb314]

Confident Pakistan will chase it down...

 

[uberkoen]

Straight forward game here. Should be done and dusted by 35/40 overs at max with a loss of 2-3 wickets

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Piece of cake. Need to improve nrr by chasing it in 40 overs

 

[cricguru]

Exactly what i just thought. No right for semis if we cannot chase this.. Chase and chase it under 40 overs to keep NRR in check for semis

 

[Madplayer]

Its simple as this :

If Pakistan can't chase this low total, then nobody should feel bad that they are out of semis. They would deserve whatever they get.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Just win the game. Lets not worry about run rate at this moment

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Out

 

[AdamM97]

Its simple as this :

If Pakistan can't chase this low total, then nobody should feel bad that they are out of semis. They would deserve whatever they get.

Agree, a semi finalist should be able to chase 228 against Affhanistan.

 

[castortroy]

Told you Fakhar can't play spin

 

[JibranAnsari]

wasated review

 

[pakistanisgreat]

That's it guys

 

[dhump]

no bat why he reviewed ?

 

[castortroy]

He was never going to be able to play mujaeeb

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Its gonna be tough for us now

 

[castortroy]

Pak will struggle with Afghan spinners

 

[Titan24]

Why was Fakhar taking the strike? It should have been Imam

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Babar n Harris to score 50s
Imam with a 40.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

We should have restricted them below 150

 

[JibranAnsari]

gap btw bat n ball

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Bye bye hack. Don't come back.

 

[castortroy]

Plumb

 

[WebGuru]

So once again babar need to save us

 

[Titan24]

Its simple as this :

If Pakistan can't chase this low total, then nobody should feel bad that they are out of semis. They would deserve whatever they get.

True

 

[Strike!]

Fakhar is a joke against spin these days.

 

[shah_1]

Waste of a review

 

[ads101]

Fakhar's out

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Why was Fakhar taking the strike? It should have been Imam

I think both scared of spin

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Low quality bowler Mujeeb takes Fakhar out.

 

[Fahdi]

Awful review unless he thought he hit it

 

[Ronaldo7]

Same happened in the Asia cup

 

[shah_1]

Should have opened with Hafeez against Mujeeb

 

[JibranAnsari]

sarfrazs poor captaincy will cost us this match

 

[Zhasan]

Imam didnt face today how come

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Mujeeb did in 2 balls what Ashwin & Jaddu couldn't in 120 balls.

 

[ILcricket]

0/1 but 228 is a small total .Should be a comfortable win .

 

[mrtaim3]

Ufff fakhar's downfall has been really disappointing

 

[Stewie]

Fakhar need a serious whooping!

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar gone. Awful.

 

[dhump]

I think other teams missed the trick now bowling spinner against Fakhar in first over he is a walking wicket against slow bowlers.

 

[Dios]

Fakhar is Mujeeb's bunny.

 

[castortroy]

Someone thought Fakhar would get a century lol

He CAN'T play spin

 

[AdamM97]

Mujeeb did in 2 balls what Ashwin & Jaddu couldn't in 120 balls.

I rate Mujeeb more than Rashid tbh. Definitely Afg’s best spinner.

 

[Titan24]

Sarfaraz or Hafeez should come ahead I think as they both can play spin better

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Babar really struggled last game in the beginning against senter. Hopefully plays well today

 

[Chokli]

[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION]

Tamim>Hacker Zaman

 

[Mercurial]

Fakhar will always fail if he continues playing unnaturally in a defensive way. He has become a jobber. He should swing hard right from ball one , otherwise he will fail most of the times.

 

[Strike!]

Why the hell did he waste the review? Embarrassing all around.

 

[Itachi]

It's just 228 guys.

 

[Fahdi]

This guy Mujeeb is the real threat from what I have seen. Rashid is dangerous if you try to go after him but this guy is tough.

 

[Hasan123]

Babar usually doesn't start well versus spin.

 

[saabir]

This Guy Fakhar is such a poor player. Even Mallik or Asif Ali could have done better than this hack

 

[ScotRaz]

Someone thought Fakhar would get a century lol

He CAN'T play spin

Not just a century but a double century

 

[dhump]

sarfrazs poor captaincy will cost us this match

How are you planning to blame it on Sarfraz don't you think batsman should be able to chase 228 on this wicket?

 

[Dios]

There is clearly no bat involved there. Don't know why the umpire wasted so much time.

 

[dildilpak]

Its simple as this :

If Pakistan can't chase this low total, then nobody should feel bad that they are out of semis. They would deserve whatever they get.

True that

 

[AdamM97]

Ufff fakhar's downfall has been really disappointing

More frustrating rather than disappointing.
