Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 2nd T20I | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore | 07 October, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[MenInG]

Target : 183

 

[babajee]

Fakhar-Babar show incoming.

 

[The streak is Alive]

Highest ever T20 total in Pakistan, looks like? In any case, it'll be Pakistan's 2nd highest chase if they pull it off.

Can they do it without Hafeez? I think Zaman (only power hitter capable of matching SL youngsters in terms of SR) is the key..

 

[IAJ]

Just watched the quick highligths of the Sri Lankan innings. The shots some of these guys played, our batsmen can only dream of.

Our batsmen looks like getting out on every delivery. But let’s hope we can somehow chase this down:/

 

[Mueez]

Fakhar and Babar are the key...

 

[msb314]

We have a chance - just need a good start

 

[Shafi]

Sl will win this by 40+ runs. Both Shehzad and Sarfraz will make sure the run rate will be over 12

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Get a feeling Shehzad might be useful today

He's usually hopeless but recently seems to be taking fitness/discipline seriously.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Top 3, Asif/Imad have to do well if we want to win this comfortably.

This is what I noticed too. I am not seeing the Pak batsmen playing as fluently. The rest of the Subcontinent are comign with batsmen who can destroy 140+ bowling, while Pak is getting left behind.

 

[msb314]

Off the mark!

 

[msb314]

Not the greatest first over..

 

[msb314]

Babar struggling for timing

 

[babajee]

Babar batting like Shezzy here....

 

[ZaudStorm]

If one of these 2 gets out early then it's over....Shehzad will eat up the RR and Akmal will get out on single digit scores.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

The day Babar fixes his dot ball issues he'll make it into the Fab Five.

 

[Gullycricket]

Good shot.If he has a good night Pak could win this.Rambo gems

 

[Mamoon]

Sri Lanka are never short of producing quality stroke-makers, it is a result of their strong school cricket where young kids are protected from the tape ball culture.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Babar is struggling big time
Another loss awaiting???

 

[msb314]

Too many dot balls

 

[Rana]

Rr creeping up

Need a blinder from one of our players

 

[Syed1]

Babar batting like Shezzy here....

Probably has instructions from savior coach to do tuk tuk till the 18th over

 

[shah_1]

Lol Fakhar

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar aisay khel raha hai aaj tu just imagine shezzy and Jr here. Ya khuda Rehm.

 

[Rana]

What’s wrong with this guy Fakhar?

 

[msb314]

Fakhar you clown!!!

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish player

 

[Afhan Ali]

Ball nazar nhi ata or modern cricketer ban raha hai
Hack

 

[Gullycricket]

Why Why would you do that

 

[Nov15]

Fakhar

 

[The streak is Alive]

Lol...Rameez Raja clearly pronounces Fakhar's name differently when he's displeased. Funny

 

[Omer2002]

oh wowwwwww..every bodys JAAN fakhar ...is out

 

[Zeshan547]

what a garbage shot to play at this stage of inning, only if our batsmen have working brains. Too much to ask and hope.

 

[Gullycricket]

Cant believe we beat Aus in Tri-series final now...

 

[Mamoon]

Fluke hack gone, but we missed him in the first match.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Fakhar should forget this shot. He has no idea how to execute it.

Gifted his wicket.

 

[ZaudStorm]

Babar and Shehzad at the crease......hmmmm gonna be tasty.

 

[Indiafan]

Probably has instructions from savior coach to do tuk tuk till the 18th over

Come on, he has tried attacking shots every single ball but unable to get away

 

[Mamoon]

Such an ugly batsman to watch. He is the Sohail Tanvir of batting.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Original copy of Kohli is trash

 

[Rana]

for an opener that has actually done well, he isn’t even in the league of Afridi, Imran Nazir. I would even say pre shadi Imran Farhat as well.

 

[Gullycricket]

Just look at Bhanuka's shots..Proper and Fakhar

 

[The streak is Alive]

My Fav player is in...Shehzad.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar fail means we will loose by another big margin. But Misbah will get away now by blaming Fakhar.

 

[IAJ]

Shuru hou jao tuk tuk jahilo

 

[Gullycricket]

Shehzad is perennial garbage

 

[Zeshan547]

once upon a time shehzad was really an international material. another what if.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Shahzad judging how the pitch will behave on 5th day of match

 

[Omer2002]

TUK TUK has started...i mean i do feel sorry as they are playing for their places...but the pressure is too much

 

[Mueez]

Man, how awful is Shahzad!

 

[Syed1]

5 dots on the trot by Shehzad.... thank you Misbah.

 

[IAJ]

5 dot balls, shabash

 

[Gullycricket]

Good for nothing Faheem LOL

 

[msb314]

Such a shame this...

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Shehzad, master of the dot.

 

[Syed1]

3 overs for 11 runs in a T20..... if anybody was ever in doubt how bad of an influence this beghairat insaan is on Pakistan cricket.

 

[The streak is Alive]

Looks nervous Shehzad

 

[Omer2002]

btw this is first choice attack by srilanka malinga has retired akila is banned..only perera is missing

 

[Gullycricket]

#BringBackArthur

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lanka are never short of producing quality stroke-makers, it is a result of their strong school cricket where young kids are protected from the tape ball culture.

Most likely its because of honest selection rather than our corrupt selection

 

[Rana]

Terrible

 

[Syed1]

Now Babar gone

 

[Mueez]

Match done and dusted.

 

[msb314]

Babar...

 

[Gullycricket]

Arthur had atleast made our cricket interesting again

 

[Omer2002]

oh wow pressure does strange things...what a hack by babz never in his life has he done that

 

[ARK Rafay]

Was a good decision not to follow this series. Nothing to gain for the team and everything to lose.

 

[Syed1]

Shehzad and Akmal at the crease.... is this 2015?

 

[unemployedgm]

Shehzad seems as if his wrists are completely locked. It's the fear of being dropped.

 

[IAJ]

Every team is trying youngsters and only new players and look at this darpouk Misbah. He actually deserves this.

Fakhar and Shehzad has ruined Babar’s innings.

 

[Gullycricket]

Shitfest

 

[The streak is Alive]

Well well an ungainly hoick from Babar. Its down to the show stopper now...Akmal Jr.

 

[Energy]

Lulz at both Fakhar and Babar. Absolutely nothing shots from both under pressure. Mental midget mentality is haunting this team. Midget skipper and coach is a huge reason for this.

 

[Dark_Horse]

This will help to expose asif Ali sarfaraz Shahzad umar etc

 

[Mamoon]

Number 1 ranked team, ladies and gentlemen. If BCCI were scared of us before this series, they are now petrified.

 

[Gullycricket]

Shehzad and Akmal at the crease.... is this 2015?

Misbah taking us to dark ages of cricket

 

[Shafi]

Don't think we will score even 100 today.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

And that is why Babar will never be a power hitter.

 

[Rana]

Make or break for Sarfaraz

He’s been abysmal for a long time now

 

[Big Mac]

Sorry lads and lasses it's my fault, I went to the loo and came back to see two wickets had gone in my absence.

I forgot how strong my powers are.
