Pakistan v England | 1st T20I | NSK | 20 September 2022 | Pakistan innings

[Marooned]

This one will also be in WC vs matches against SA or BD where the colours can clash.

Oh ok.

 

[Kianig89]

Good first over 9/0

 

[Rana]

Sam Curran v Rizwan now

 

[Rana]

No swing

If I was opening, I would target every ball for 6

 

[Kianig89]

We gifted Aisa Cup really pathetic hopefully we will avenge it by winning 7 nila

 

[msb314]

Rizwan tuk tuk as always

 

[Marooned]

The avoiding collapse excuse won't fly today. With Shan and Haider we have a batting today.

Show intent now!!

 

[Kianig89]

Dibbly dobby being blocked by Rizwan really

 

[Rana]

Go on Riz

Try lifting it over the inner circle

 

[Titan24]

Babar will love the pitches in this series as well as Aus.

Wickets that are bit slower or have tendency to be uneven like we have seen in UAE most often, his style of batting which heavily relies on timing and hitting through the line is not easy to play in full flow. Kohli is a similar kind but, was outstanding in adaptation at Asia Cup.

 

[Ahmed216]

No swing

If I was opening, I would target every ball for 6

Agree. Sam Curran’s pace with no swing should go the distance from ball 1

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic from Rizwan the so called No.1

 

[Marooned]

Tuk tuk tuk tuk.

How hard can it be to attempt a lofted drive?

 

[Rana]

Rizwan tuk tuk as always

It’s like he is protesting against the people who are criticising him

 

[Kianig89]

Do this type of batting has a h value in post corona era

 

[Rana]

Agree. Sam Curran’s pace with no swing should go the distance from ball 1

Alex Hales ended Aamer Yamin’s dreams to play international cricket like this once in the PSL

 

[Kianig89]

Babar on a different planet though gotta feeling Rizwan affects his game Babar would thrive with someone more flashy

 

[Rana]

Wow Hales looked slow there

 

[Kianig89]

Babar retains the strike not trusting the serene Rizwan

 

[Kianig89]

60 runs is the target for PP

 

[Usman Chadda]

Does Khushdil Shah have a special parchi or something? I haven’t seen someone so rubbish given so many opportunities.

 

[Kianig89]

225 anyone

 

[msb314]

Runs are flowing now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Absolute phatta this , england will fancy chasing 220 plus here.

 

[Kianig89]

Need a big score to develop interest in series

 

[Snowflake]

Stop what you are doing folks...Rizwan has scored runs on the offside

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pitch looks fantastic and seems like the batsmen are timing it quite well.

 

[daytrader]

Shots by Rizwan! Both sides of the wicket

 

[Kianig89]

Spank them so much that Buttler comes out for toss next game

 

[Rana]

Willy is such a trundler

 

[Titan24]

Death bowling would be the key on this surface

 

[Kianig89]

Hard hitting

 

[alone1213]

Yeah man pitch is very flat and England have got trundlers only.

 

[Markhor]

This is a proper Karachi belter, polar opposite of those twopaced UAE tracks. Can trust the pace and bounce. 200 gotta be bare minimum.

 

[Fazzy321]

Am I seeing Rizwan score on the offside

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar is just pure class right now. Timing & middling everything.

 

[Snowflake]

Tuk tuk tuk tuk.

How hard can it be to attempt a lofted drive?

Bugs the crap out of me. He doesn't even try to hit a lofted drive. It's not even a high risk shot with fielders in!

 

[JibranAnsari]

The more babar takes strike the better for viewers.

 

[Titan24]

Really good start this

 

[Snowflake]

The more babar takes strike the better for viewers.

And for the team.

 

[alone1213]

Luke wood is faster than otherw

 

[Nasty Naz]

Heck of fielding right there to stop a boundary. One handed stop too.

 

[Snowflake]

"32 in 3 overs...just under 10 an over" - Wasim akram

 

[JibranAnsari]

Quick bowlers will need to resort to slower balls here .No need to bend your back.

 

[alone1213]

They gotta score more than 200 here.

 

[Titan24]

Average 1st innings score as mentioned by Wasim Akram is 192

 

[Rana]

Run rate was too fast

Back to looking for singles

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar and Rizwan trying to bury the talk that their partnerships lose T20's.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Baffles me to see how a guy like Usman Qadir has been in the squad for over 2 years now.

 

[Rana]

Good decision

Keep this partnership going Moin Bhai

 

[Snowflake]

Run rate was too fast

Back to looking for singles

Yes. Too much. Need to settle down a little.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is it me or rizwans batting getting uglier every match?

 

[Snowflake]

Is it me or rizwans batting getting uglier every match?

Not just you.

Falling over. Moving all over the place. Hardly middles and offside delivery.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 for no loss , Pakistan batting well here

 

[Titan24]

Babar and Rizwan trying to bury the talk that their partnerships lose T20's.

When the pitch is good and true (Which 90% of the surfaces are now in LOIs) they are really good. Its the wickets which are bit slower and power has to be generated by batsmen thats where they sometimes struggle

 

[alone1213]

Gleeson is fast. 145 kph.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Baffles me to see how a guy like Usman Qadir has been in the squad for over 2 years now.

It's an indictment of how poor their spin options are. He'll get replaced by Abrar soon enough though.

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan needs to take charge in next over

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep momentum going on here.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan needs to take charge in next over

He doesn’t need to do anything

He is answerable to nobody

 

[Snowflake]

What kind of shots does Rizwan play? He looks so uncomfortable

 

[Shafi]

Opening pair is way too slow to compete against decent team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Last 2 overs only 11 runs.

 

[Rana]

The run rate was just too fast and could have triggered a collapse after 3 overs

Sensible batting by these two

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar Azam is looking to be more positive here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan is way too worried about getting out. Need a fearless batsman opening with babar.

 

[Rana]

Look for single now

 

[Shafi]

Baffles me to see how a guy like Usman Qadir has been in the squad for over 2 years now.

Through connection!!! Even Australia 2nd class league has better spinners.

 

[Rana]

England on top here if Pak doesn’t get 60 by the end of 6

 

[JibranAnsari]

The run rate was just too fast and could have triggered a collapse after 3 overs

Sensible batting by these two

They say that nothing is faster than speed of light , apparently there was a danger of breaking this physics law.

 

[Snowflake]

From Wasim Akram to Amir Sohail. The torture never stops

 

[Madplayer]

Anything less than 200 looks chaseable here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan again hogging most of the strike , not good
Viewing this.

 

[Shafi]

We need a professional head coach who can prevent Babar to take his buddies like Khusdil, Ifti, Hasan, Qadir.......

 

[Rana]

7 runs per over in the last 3 overs of the pp

 

[Nasty Naz]

I am not sure a single aerial shot has been played. That is what they need to do more of in the powerplay.

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan again hogging most of the strike , not good
Viewing this.

Played so many dot balls...he's bound to hog the strike

 

[Justcrazy]

The depth pakistan have in batting , they need to start taking calculated chances here

 

[JibranAnsari]

7 runs per over in the last 3 overs of the pp

6.33

 

[Snowflake]

I am not sure a single aerial shot has been played. That is what they need to do more of in the powerplay.

Haven't played one in PP in all Asia Cup. Zero guts from these two
