Pakistan v England | 4th T20I | NSK | 25 September 2022 | Pakistan innings

[Rana]

Basically Rizwan played 4.2 overs himself for 38 runs

Not bad I guess

 

[NeVerMind]

52 off the power play... Decent considering Babar has only hit one 4 and Riz has been doing all the hard work....

 

[adzzy786]

Rizwan always carrying Babar… Babar always at a snail pace… I honestly don’t think Babar would score anywhere near as much runs if it wasn’t for rizwan

 

[TeymurBlake]

Start well against Rashid, unsettle him.

 

[Kroll]

Right, time to deposit this Rashid into the stands.

 

[adzzy786]

52 off the power play... Decent considering Babar has only hit one 4 and Riz has been doing all the hard work....

This is the case in nearly every match. I’m glad people are starting to see it

 

[daytrader]

First aerial shot and that too on a free hit. Somehow finds the fielder lol

 

[Rana]

Right, time to deposit this Rashid into the stands.

Rizwan will try once he gets his 50

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar is a coward batter. Doesn't believe in himself hence avoiding risk.

 

[adzzy786]

I dont enjoy rizwans batting at all , he is a top performer though.

He is more exciting watch than a lot of these batsman

 

[Snowflake]

Any aerial shots today?

 

[Rana]

Any aerial shots today?

One on a free hit

Safe shot

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Any aerial shots today?

Yes on free hit, and got caught.

 

[daytrader]

Any aerial shots today?

Yup Babar got caught on a freehit

 

[Sunny_majoka]

I guess they have increased the boundaries today?

 

[NeVerMind]

Which retained tried and tested Pakistani player infuriates you the most - Chacha, Happy Heart or Qadir?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I guess they have increased the boundaries today?

It always looks when we are batting, wait for the 2nd innings.

 

[Kroll]

Babar should just go for it now, 7overs done, no point in preserving wkts at this stage.

 

[Rana]

Willy on

Rizwan can go for 6x6

 

[ChTab]

Babar 15 on 13 with 1 four in a T20. That's another loss for Pakistan & the reason will be Babar once again

 

[Nasty Naz]

A fielder stopping a boundary. Wow, what a sight.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Which retained tried and tested Pakistani player infuriates you the most - Chacha, Happy Heart or Qadir?

All of them, I wish I was a Pakistani I would have staged sit in protest outside Parliament.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Babar needs to find some boundaries.

 

[NeVerMind]

Willey on.. Riz should feast on his bowling...

 

[msb314]

Babar needs to get a move on now!

 

[Kroll]

Oh come on bacho, play for the team, not personal milestones, hit out or get out!

 

[imshally81]

Babar is dealing in singles only

 

[ChTab]

Rizwan always plays at very good rate, the real problem is Babar's selfishness & because of that he would never play bug shots early on in his innings.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan is batting like 170-180 is good enough when it is clearly not.

 

[Rana]

Bad tour for Willey

His career could end here

 

[TeymurBlake]

Back to back boundaries to Babar.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar in the toss have already decided to score 180-190, when England scored 200 twice batting first..

When that is in mind, will end scoring 10-20 runs short and end up 160 or 170 max..

 

[James]

Willey getting hammered. Seems out of form

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan even with 7 boundaries still have sr under 150

 

[NeVerMind]

Willey on.. Riz should feast on his bowling...

Instead it is Babar who smashes him for 2 boundaries so far...

 

[msb314]

Much better from Babar!

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[PakPremi]

Or single

Block block block

Quick 2

Block block block

I do not see that do you

 

[Rana]

Willey undoing all the good work by the bowlers

 

[Rana]

Rizwan in his element now.

 

[NeVerMind]

Willey getting hammered. Seems out of form

That's fair play to England in balancing it out with so many of our out of form players...

 

[Rana]

Willey getting hammered. Seems out of form

Moeen has done his best to hide him and not have to bowl him to Rizwan

 

[imshally81]

Willey undoing all the good work by the bowlers

What good work? 52 in PP isn't a good work

 

[ekpakistani]

Why isnt mark woods playing today?

 

[Kroll]

90 would be decent after 10 for the push towards 200.

 

[NeVerMind]

That's fair play to England in balancing it out with so many of our out of form players...

Can't even say that Chacha, Happy Heart or Qadir are out of form since they have never been in form!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good over. Let's see if they attack Rashid and continue to increase the run rate. Should aim to get around 90 after 10 overs at least.

 

[imshally81]

Too much respect for Rashid today

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Waqar in the commentary box understands that Pakistan lack of ambition is their biggest weakness. Babar is of the dumb opinion that 16-180 is a defendable score, but on these pitches you need 200.

 

[Rana]

What good work? 52 in PP isn't a good work

On this track, boundaries

It’s fine

 

[Kroll]

Go for sixer!

 

[Rana]

Adil Rashid bowling very well

Qadir has been such a liability in comparison

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

They think Rashid is throwing grenades

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol rizwan has slowed down , zero risk batting.

 

[Rana]

Go for sixer!

Na na naaa

After I get 50

 

[NeVerMind]

Need a big over now... Babar needs to cut loose... You have Shaan for a like for like replacement

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan innings following the familiar pattern. Relatively reasonable opening stand which develops into a slow losing effort during the middle and late overs.

 

[daytrader]

This is the same pitch as the 2nd ODI, another century partnership is on the cards

 

[PakFan2010]

74-0 after 9 overs on one of the flattest pitches in world cricket is a disgrace.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar either attack or get out.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good over. Let's see if they attack Rashid and continue to increase the run rate. Should aim to get around 90 after 10 overs at least.

So much for that. A whopping 3 runs off Rashid.

 

[NeVerMind]

Adil Rashid bowling very well

Qadir has been such a liability in comparison

Best I have seen him bowl so far whereas Qadir gets worse the more matches he plays...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Is babar playing hard to lose his place as a player in the T20s also by playing fake hitters for his own good...

Looks like babars dirty politics starts to bite his back now, early exit in WT20, he along with Saqi will be gone i believe..

 

[Rana]

A quick double

Fitness
Strike rate of 200 on a ball

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[NeVerMind]

Not one rank ball from either Rashid and Dawson in their combined 5 overs so far... Qadir will undo all that in a single over

 

[Thephenom]

Butcher is absolutely correct, the openers have to start showing trust in the rest, if the players behind aren’t doing it, don’t be scared to try other players

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What the hell man ? Playing safe against Dawson ?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Tim David against India smashing all round the park gets to his 50*

 

[Rana]

Babar either attack or get out.

Na jee na

No.3 ranked batsman

 

[Kroll]

Na na naaa

After I get 50

He's done it!

 

[JibranAnsari]

37 runs in last 5 overs.

Extremely poor given no wicket down.

 

[imshally81]

No boundaries

 

[Kroll]

Tim David against India smashing all round the park gets to his 50*

PSL taught him well, lol.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

You remove him from decision making, he'll be fine.

 

[daytrader]

82/0 after 10 overs

 

[TeymurBlake]

They need to hit boundaries off Rashid and Dawson. We can't show respect to against English bowlers here.

 

[Rana]

Can we score 120+ off 60?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Tim David against India smashing all round the park gets to his 50*

ohhh, just saw Bumrah given 50 runs in his 4

 

[NeVerMind]

120 runs now needed for the remaining 10 overs so 12 runs per over....need to play like you chasing 200...
