Gamee onn.

 

[Amoeba]

I'm strangely confident we can do it.
Need a good start - with Awais just blazing away. A quickfire 20 could settle a few nerves

 

[MoinHaroon]

But not today. I will pray for Pakistan but I think it will be tough

 

[kraken]

Pak has to come up with a game plan to chase this total

Aur ye fulltoss phaink di hai, jab peterson jaisa ballebaz ke samne ho to koi achi umeed rakhna dewaane ki badr hi kehlayega!

It will be very tough chase. England has got the runs on board to defend on a tough pitch. It would be good win for us if we can chase this down. Pitch is not easy to play strokes. Hopefully, one of our big hitters click today. Should be a good chase. Bowlers have done well to restrict them to 130, which is probably 10 more than the par, but 30 more for our batsmen on chase. I hope, our batsmen would prove us all wrong by chasing this down. Go Pakistan.

Have you seen Pakistan batting in last 6 matches

 

[kraken]

we have an uncanny ability to throw away easy wins
certainly a tricky chase

 

[iZeeshan]

I hope they don't try and tuk tuk their way to this total because it's a low one

Yes, they can be more sensible however Awais should play his natural game

 

[Markhor]

Start is absolutely crucial, early wickets and we will be in deep trouble.

 

[Sledger]

It needs one batsman to score a 40-50. The rest can just hit around that player. If Awais hacks some early boundaries then the pressure will come off quickly.

 

[Amoeba]

Cheema bowled his heart out, except for that last ball. Think he choked there.

Dunno about choked.....his thinking was right. Tried to put it in the blockhole. Nerves and bowling to KP probably played its part though.

unpredictable

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan strength is bowling. Gully leaked runs today, should have tried an over from Hamaad in the middle over

I think 130 is more than enough on this pitch.

Will be interesting to see if this is Awais Zia's last game or one of many more to come.
