Pakistan v Australia | 3rd ODI | 2 April, 2022 | Lahore | Pre-Match Discussion

[MenInG]

Series is 1-1 and all to play for in the final game of the series.

Have Pakistan got the right combination or do they need more changes?

 

[Saj]

The Aussie team must be shellshocked after the loss today.

Pakistan with the edge now I feel going into the next match.

No need to have Saud in the team hes not suited to ODIs. Hasan Ali was rubbish in 1st game and wasim jnr here so the 3rd seamer needs to be looked at.

Also if we do bat 1st we will need to be positive again as 340 is about par on lahore highway.

 

[shamaan]

I will make 2 changes.

Saud Shakeel for Haris
Zahid Mahmood for Shadab if fit if not then Usman Qadir.

 

[Jabo]

didn't know Aus had their B side out

Should still win
They'll win with ease

 

[Shafi]

Australia should win the 3rd match without any problem. We always fail in series decider.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan have the momentum now.

But, it can go either way.

Should be a good game.

 

[ChTab]

Series decider that means an important match & that too vs Australia. Pakistan definitely going to lose this. Pakistan battings is totally reliant on top 3 plus Pakistan's bowling is not good at all.

 

[Nado_]

Can’t see them dropping Saud if he didn’t even bat in the last game. I want them to take a chance with Dhani

 

[Babloo]

I think Dhani could come in for Waseem although Waseem did okay in the first two matches. I'd like to give Qadir a go ahead of Zahid. Don't see any other changes.

 

[Fenrir]

Dahani should play tomorrow.I know he is inexperienced but he is a wicket taker.

 

[imshally81]

Ifti should replace with someone..

[TeymurBlake]

I wouldn't be surprised if they went unchanged line-up.

Personally I would drop both Zahid & Wasim Jnr for Qadir & Dhani.

The continued selection of Wasim jr ahead of Shahnawaz is a mystery. Shahnawaz Dhani is clearly the more talented bowler and has performed better(IPL & otherwise ) but Wasim jr keeps showing up in the line up?
Why? can anyone shed some light on this?

 

[castortroy]

Pak always lose deciders

Wasim Jnr can smash a few that's proberly only reason.

Pak always lose deciders

We beat South Africa in the decider last year so not anymore

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan managed it to make the decider hopefully they will be prepared
