[Markhor]

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Malik he's now 39*

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

runs given, beats the wicketkeeper

 

[Sledger]

Looool, four more. What brilliant placement by Shoaib. Extremely skillful stuff.

 

[Paradox]

Malik playing the knock of his life ) ) four off some edge or the other! 144/5!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Brilliant shot by Malik, he can't do wrong, purposely Chinese cuts it !

 

[madaboutcricket]

Poor batting from these two

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

144-5

1 delivery left

 

[Asif321]

Hammad didnt bat

 

[Markhor]

A six to finish this and to get to 150

 

[Justcrazy]

140 is a par score

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

does the Pakistan team ever do film study?

i mean we always seem clueless with these slower bowls...if you watch the bowler on film it would help you know

 

[talha3]

Good innings from Malik.

 

[TigerJat]

this is similar to our last 2 ODI matches, 230 runs, which are an easy target,

again england will have a target of about 145 or so, unless they have an epic collapse, we will lose this one also.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Good catch.

 

[Sledger]

Malik out last ball. Good innings though.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Malik is out last ball

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

145-6

 

[ninjafirstslip]

what sort of tennis shot was that

 

[Stuge]

in swining yorker and :

 

[Maher96]

Very good knock by malik.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Brilliant catch.

End to a class knock by Malik, finally come good Masha'Allah

145 to win should be close.

 

[Justcrazy]

England would be happy to chase anything below 150.

 

[madaboutcricket]

this is a very good score considering how they were at 10 overs.

 

[Markhor]

Good catch.

PAK 144-6 | 20 overs

Par total on this pitch but a good partnership at the end considering we were 73-5 and in dire straits.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

145 is defendable! Inshallah we'll win!

 

[the Great Khan]

chulo par score..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

this is similar to our last 2 ODI matches, 230 runs, which are an easy target,

again england will have a target of about 145 or so, unless they have an epic collapse, we will lose this one also.

I agree with you there.

 

[osee_bhai]

Everyone has to admit, Malik played well and these two saved the innings.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good knock by Malik, has given us a slim chance

Still think we are 30 runs short on this wicket BUT let's see what our bowlers can do

 

[ninjafirstslip]

26 from 26 at no 5 is not good at all.

 

[Sledger]

Need to bowl amazingly.

 

[Stuge]

:

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Brilliant catch!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

That collapse cost us 25-30 runs.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

ENG will win.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Another lost for Misbah, his days as our LOI captain is numbered.

 

[Stuge]

lol the shot played heheh

 

[Riff]

Misbah and Malik save the day for Pakistan

 

[Sledger]

Dissapointing from Misbah, should have accelerated at the end.

 

[midaz]

why facepalm... They should have scored more quickly. 26 from 26 is not a good strike rate in T20

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah's wish of going 'not out' is fulfilled

 

[TigerJat]

Really poor stuff from PK in the last 3 overs, did not try to score runs, there was a lot of batting left...

 

[Stuge]

awesome catch too great

 

[Asif321]

atleast a better Score Well Played and

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Just got in, how's Shafiq and Awais looked today fellas?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bowl really well here.

 

[aamir]

What was Broad cheering for? Was he happy Pakistan got a 4 on the penultimate ball?

 

[Stuge]

Misbah's wish of going 'not out' is fulfilled

kasnpiracy

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Should of made 170 with the start we had...

 

[Riff]

Misbah's wish of going 'not out' is fulfilled

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah batted very poorly

 

[Stuge]

England needs 145 runs to win

 

[Monty786]

Hope they don't send in Afridi and Umar akmal after each other in the next game. Both are as bad as each other...yuk!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I still think we are about 20 runs short....

that might be the difference.....

Needed to cross 160 to have a good game.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Misbah played so that Hammad did get to bat

 

[Asif321]

Flop show By Afridi and Umer akmal uselessss total useless

 

[Love Pakistan]

Good knock by Malik! I have no problems if he plays like it! 145 isn't a bad effort after being 73-5! Gul and Junaid have to bowl really good! They were not good in the last 2 odi's! My brain is telling me that England will chase it down in 18th over but my heart is saying "go get em Pakistan, we're gonna win insha Allah".

 

[osee_bhai]

Loving the uncle dance movess.

 

[MoinHaroon]

England will win, sorry but that is going to happen

 

[Monty786]

Misbah played so that Hammad did get to bat

Doubt he will get to bowl - Atleast I hope we don't need him with the ball!

 

[osee_bhai]

Can we not blame Misbah and attack the uselessness of Umar, plus the poor timing of Hafeez's shot, and the crap of Afridi's? It's only fair.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Have to admit. Malik did good today. We had to wait a long time, but...

 

[Love Pakistan]

Really poor stuff from PK in the last 3 overs, did not try to score runs, there was a lot of batting left...

Did you see how Dernbach was bowling? No one could have scored heavily at that moment! Cmon sometimes you have to give credit where its due! Malik and Misbah saved us after we were 73-5. We could have easily been 120 all out!

 

[Asif321]

We can defend it unless doesnt repeats his heroics of last match

 

[ninjafirstslip]

misbah and akmal have both been the two extremes of a what is a selfish innings.

 

[adnan yasin]

Right arm slow bowler DERBANCH is a time waster

running from so far bowling 104-110 KPH

over rate is important i guess

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has to be on money from the word go.

 

[adnan yasin]

just look at the approach of england ...

different set of players for different cricket

we are so scared to give youngster a chance ..

TUK TUK MR just see how many youngster england is playing

Hammad batting allrounder ... and batting at 8 stupidity at its best

 

[Sledger]

Mohsin in the team huddle lol!

 

[adnan yasin]

Why this kola veri di

India is playing or what ???

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Need to get KP asap

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Right arm slow bowler DERBANCH is a time waster

running from so far bowling 104-110 KPH

over rate is important i guess

he bowls 130~140 for a few balls as well

slow bowler with a quicker one

 

[shahidafridi123]

Junaid to start

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Anyone besides me think that we are 20 runs short

We will need to bowl exceptionally well to win ... my two cents

 

[Asif321]

Hereeeeeeee weee goo.. Mohsin getting his boys motivated

 

[Love Pakistan]

Misbah needs to come to bat at #3. Everyone needs to bat around him and he needs to be cool out there and then





























drop it like its hot!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

KP to face the 1st delivery, Junaid to bowl it
