Pakistan v UAE | Asia Cup 2016 | Feb 29, 2016 | 6th Match | Dhaka | Match Thread

[DRS]

I don't see UAE winning the match considering the type of pitches that have been made. Also, the form Aamir is in, he'll most probably end up getting 5fer at most. Unless, something happens to the pitches overnight, I don't see their opening batsmen surviving the first 10 overs. However, since it's Pakistan, surprise factor is always attributed with them.

This reminded me of Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams!
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas,
Everybody's looking for something.

Won't happen.

Our batting can potentially falter, but UAE will not be able to weather the pace of Amir, Sami, Wahab and Irfan.

If our four 140+ bowlers bowl fast and aggressively, we can get them out for less than 50.

A great opportunity for Amir or Sami to take 4-5 wickets.

It will be an easy win for Pakistan. Almost all of the U.A.E players are Pakistani expats, Shaiman Anwar even played for Sialkot Stallions, a few are Pakistani expats born in Dubai or Sharjah, only the keeper Patil is Indian.

As a Pakistani, U.A.E expat cricketers hearts will want Pakistan to win and win convincingly.

We may not be the best team in the tournament but we have the best chance to qualify based on run rate simply because of our pace attack. If we can bowl these guys out before 60 we should target that in less than 9 overs and well get a massive run rate boost. Minnows cant handle our bowlers on these wickets

Then there will be a huge party and I will be invited

We will live to die another day. Typical response from afridi no big deal we will learn from our mistakes. We still have 2 games to qualify for the final

 

[Markhor]

Our bowling should be too much for them especially on this pitch.

 

[Mannara chopra]

no worries u.a.e will be 10-5 and this thread will end

 

[dauntless]

Yes, limping to victory against the UAE will do us no good. Also, we have to beat either Bangladesh or Sri Lanka, and we must do so convincingly.

UAE's only, if any, chance of win is by batting 1st; BUT that comes with a risk of sub 50 score.

PAK 'll improve significantly in coming matches. Apart from batting, I think in 1st match, bowlers misread the wicket & bowled a bit shorter. Even Aamir got over excited in his last couple of overs. Besides, as usual PAK mis calculated appropriate target and was looking for 170, rather than planning what BD did today - reach 14th over with 7 wickets at hand.

When the ball stops swinging than the bowler has to change his length otherwise he will get driven either on the ground or on the up. Amir is smart enough to realise this.

Wahab was trying to bowl lengths which gave Amir wickets. And those lengths are not good for him since he can't seam or swing the ball. And once he got hit for 2,3 fours than his confidence got affected and than it was spray gun with multiple lengths bowled by him. His main weapons are quick bouncer targeting body, slower bouncer, Quick yorker within stumps, quick wide yorker, Back of a length rising delivery outside off stump and slower ball. These are his strengths and he should only bowl as per his strengths. When he executes them properly he succeedes.

Irfan ? He always balls those lengths. Somedays batsman fail to tackle his steap bounce. Other days when he is slow he gets tonked. So against India it was his day of bring economical but wicketless.

Sami was overall fine except too man cross seamed deliveries. Also Shahid removed him after just 1 over but overall Sami was fine.

Pak should beat the other 3 sides in the tournament.

But you never know with Pak....

 

[anakin]

The lowest scoring match of the tournament coming up, with Pakistan batting first.
