Pakistan V England | First T20I | Dubai | 23/02/2012

[talha3]

Survive this over and then really push it up a gear in the next over.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Malik in to double figures...some place must be getting close to freezing..

 

[ScotRaz]

Malik has got the eye of the tiger back!

 

[anakwalajinn]

I dont like Malik in the tam but anyone in green cap scoring I wish him luck.
go malik go .

Butbutbut he is wearing a hamlet!?

 

[Paradox]

Good cover drive by Malik for 1. That knock in the 4th ODI seems to have eased his nerves a bit, and the fact that this is a T20

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

:leg byes

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

wohooo

 

[Markhor]

leg byes

Came off the thigh. Take that Finn.

 

[Paradox]

That six by Malik reminded me of those sixes he'd play when he was in the form of his life in '03 and '04. Class player, back then.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

misbah playing super slow

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

single to Misbah

 

[ScotRaz]

Last 5 overs, it's going to rain 6's for Pak, score prediction 157.

 

[Markhor]

Another single. Better !

 

[Asif321]

4 baj gaye lekin Party abhi baaki hai

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Malik looks much more comfortable now, Masha'Allah

 

[Sledger]

Malik is back in form.

 

[DRS]

[iZeeshan]

Even with massive collapse, Hammad won't get a proper chance

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

31 deliveries left in this match

 

[DOOSRA95]

[Sledger]

99/5. 5 to come.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A single to end the over

99-1 after 15 overs

30 deliveries left

 

[talha3]

Last 5 overs coming up. 50 would be excellent but realistically 40 would be the target.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Heard hit ?

That was more like an 18!

 

[dhump]

31 deliveries left in this match

should score another 50

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

99 with 5 overs to go.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Any thoughts on how much they should aim in last 5 overs from here?

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan 99/5 (15.0/20 ov)

Need at least 40-50 from these last 5 overs.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

[Dr_Bassim]

99/5
15 overs

Any thoughts on how much they should aim in last 5 overs from here?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Need somewhere between 130-150 here, not sure if that will be enough

 

[talha3]

This is the last over against spin and Malik's strongest against spin. Needs to take advantage.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

100 up for Pak

 

[the Great Khan]

chulo Tuk Tuk man and the The Joker may get us close to 140! Joker seals his place for another 13 years..

 

[Sledger]

[Asif321]

[Markhor]

99/5
15 overs

Any thoughts on how much they should aim in last 5 overs from here?

45-50 at least, less than 140 and England will chase it down. No demons in this pitch.

100 up for Pakistan.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Single, well played in the end by Mlik

 

[Geordie Ahmed]
