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

[Raja Ishtiaq]

We desperately need to drop this Rizwan. Scores runs too consistenly. Can't be having that.

 

[PakPremi]

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

Asif Ali to but atleast he dies both bother to waste too many balls

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We seem to settle for less. Pakistan should be close to 100 after 10. But they are on 82-0 this could be the difference between posting 180 and 200

 

[ask_analyse_act]

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

They are plying it for a purpose , not for the team..

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Can we score 120+ off 60?

Depends how soon Babar gets 50.

 

[Rana]

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

They only fancy their chances against Willy and Dawson

 

[Nasty Naz]

Need 118 runs off the last 10 overs to reach 200.

Disappointing stuff from Pakistan. Literally not a six even attempted outside of the free hit.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

37 runs in last 5 overs.

Extremely poor given no wicket down.

Nothing to do with the quality of the bowling, it is purely Pakistan policy to make a safe score which might be a losing one, but they can claim it is a competitive total. They will go 3-1 down today if they don't hit big in the next 4 overs, because they aren't capable of death hitting.

 

[Kroll]

They need to launch now, no point in conserving wickets.

 

[Rana]

Big shot coming

 

[TeymurBlake]

They only fancy their chances against Willy and Dawson

And Moeen.

 

[PakPremi]

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.

Im sure Babar mentioned 180 to 190.

 

[msb314]

Need to employ the reverse sweep / sweep

 

[ask_analyse_act]

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

Babar already set 180 as target in the toss and they will fall 15 runs short to make 165 at the max from now on..

England will walk away with 2-3 overs to spare..

 

[NeVerMind]

We desperately need to drop this Rizwan. Scores runs too consistenly. Can't be having that.

And that while opening... Its just not the Pakistani way...I miss the days of 30 odd for 3....

 

[ChTab]

Well done Babar please occupy the crease. We're playing a freaking test here

 

[imshally81]

Now intention is clear

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Big shot coming

Yes down the track and single.

 

[NeVerMind]

First lofted shot by Riz and the first 6!

 

[imshally81]

666

 

[msb314]

Important 666

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow finally a six attempted. Shocking.

 

[Rana]

Would be stupid to bowl Willy now

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Depends how soon Babar gets 50.

yes correct, if he gets out without 50 total will be more or less 160

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Same old boring mindset targeting 20 less than what other would do. When will the mindset of Pakistan cricket improve and Match the current mindset of cricket

 

[NeVerMind]

Even with the 6, only 10 runs scored in that over...

 

[Rana]

Dawson is so underrated

He is a gutsy bowler considering his limitations

 

[Markhor]

Steady start but basically forcing ourselves to slog extra hard for the last 7-8 overs if we're to reach a defendable total on a belter.

 

[ChTab]

You know it's a loss written all over this match for Pakistan when you score 1st six of the match in 11th over.

 

[ekpakistani]

Even with the 6, only 10 runs scored in that over...

I was about to say the same. Really disappointing this approach. We may still win but intent is tuk tuk

 

[adzzy786]

Babar shouldn’t open…

 

[Sunny_majoka]

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

No they have increased the boundaries today that six of rizwan was 81m and it barely crossed the boundary

 

[Rana]

Aqib Javed is owning Babar

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Awful innings by Babar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sad little innings by babar comes to an end.

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

That's what happens when u play selfish knock.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar gone....just couldn't kick into the 2nd gear... Now up to the rest with still around 8 overs to be bowled

 

[Marooned]

Babar is honestly wasting his ability. He can be sooo much better.

 

[Rana]

Babar shouldn’t open…

This too shall pass

 

[msb314]

Not good enough from Babar

 

[ekpakistani]

Finally... Good that tuk tuk is out

 

[adzzy786]

This too shall pass

Haha neither Should Sharjeel

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Im sure Babar mentioned 180 to 190.

They aren't scoring 190 playing like this.

 

[Marooned]

Pathetic pathetic knock.

 

[Rana]

I’m starting to like Rizwan

He does his best. It may not be good enough but at least he is giving 110%

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hafeez did some golf practice to improve bat swing. Why can't Babar do that ?

 

[PakFan2010]

I would have promoted Asif Ali

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Seriously fed up of the negative mindset and rubbish boring cricket from Pakistan. Now another batter will take his time getting in and 170 would become the final score. GREAT

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good job Babar on your mediocre innings. Finally a big hit attempted on a non-free hit attempt and you're out.

Shan Masood is in to help increase the scoring. Truly brilliant stuff from this think tank.

 

[ChTab]

With Babar gone Pakistan now finally start to score some runs

 

[NeVerMind]

Shaan Masood with a strike rate of 150 after his very brief T20 career

 

[Rana]

Babar, Rizwan, Shan

Morgoth
Sauron
Saruman

 

[Snowflake]

Babar has completely lost confidence in his hitting ability. He tried 2 lofted shots today and got out on both. No wonder he's content with playing everything along the ground.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Both have similar strike rate , rizwan just faced more deliveries.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

first six of the match coming at 11th over lol....

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

And they send shan in. They needed to send in Asif Ali to up the scoring

 

[Marooned]

Babar now literally plays like he's practicing his technique in nets. 0 risks. This simply isn't done.

 

[Markhor]

Hafeez did some golf practice to improve bat swing. Why can't Babar do that ?

Too much emphasis in Pakistan on technically correct batting, straight bat, don't take risks etc etc.

Play positively and you are labelled tullay baaz. Look at Haider Ali - batted aggressively on debut, now looks a nervous wreck.

 

[daytrader]

98 after 12 overs. Can we double it in the remaining 8?

 

[Rana]

With Babar gone Pakistan now finally start to score some runs

Rizwan needs 40 to get to his 100

Will take about 25 deliveries

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I’m starting to like Rizwan

He does his best. It may not be good enough but at least he is giving 110%

That's the most important thing in today's cricket. Mickey once said I don't need talented players who are not hard working, I would happily take less talented but super fit and hardworking guy in any format of the game.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Would have sent Asif Ali ahead of Shan Masood.

 

[NeVerMind]

Hafeez did some golf practice to improve bat swing. Why can't Babar do that ?

Not everyone can just pick up Golf...

 

[PakFan2010]

Shan playing the reverse sweep is the kind of brave cricket we need.

 

[Rana]

Great time to get in Willy

 

[adzzy786]

I’m starting to like Rizwan

He does his best. It may not be good enough but at least he is giving 110%

Been telling you from day one. He is so gritty and always tried extremely hard. Babar wouldn’t do no where near as well if he wasn’t around.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babars sr was 130 and rizwan has 136. Notuch difference.

 

[adzzy786]

Asif Ali should come in next

 

[JibranAnsari]

Tbh i dont mind babar failing in t20s , he needs to concentrate on test cricket.

 

[saabir]

Asif Ali should have tried at No 3 today

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Too much emphasis in Pakistan on technically correct batting, straight bat, don't take risks etc etc.

Play positively and you are labelled tullay baaz. Look at Haider Ali - batted aggressively on debut, now looks a nervous wreck.

Babar was never like this, If I remember correctly it started when t20 averaged dipped below 50. His personal milestones are more important than anything.

 

[Marooned]

Reverse swing??

 

[Rana]

Much better Willy

Go for Yorkers against Rizwan

Nothing else works against him when you bowl to him

 

[adzzy786]

Babars sr was 130 and rizwan has 136. Notuch difference.

Babar only sped up a little at the end, Rizzzy has slowed down since the beginning. Rizzy probably getting tired as Babar didn’t do anything for most the game

 

[Mainul]

They aren't scoring 190 playing like this.

How do you expect 190 when you do have plyers like Khushdil, Iftekhar, Asif in line up? They just look like hacks ,slogger to me. Haider is other one.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shan has the right approach. Rizwan just wont come out of his comfort zone.

 

[imshally81]

We are throwing the good start

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Tbh i dont mind babar failing in t20s , he needs to concentrate on test cricket.

That's the modern cricket. He needs to adapt. He was way better than this earlier.

 

[Rana]

Smart work

Outswinger much more effective against Rizwan
