I feel the game should either be cancelled, or at best postponed for a later date. The mindset of players should come into account, if safety protocols have already be exhausted.

Tired mindset only comes into account for more privileged teams.

The majority of players are double vaccd and will be fine.

West Indies are putting the game first and it gives new players a chance to shine.

WICB zindabad!

Finish today’s game and then we can see

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think ODI series will be cancelled.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I hope Pakistan play Dahni,Qadir and Hasnain.

Hope babar comes down the order too. This is a good chance to experiment.

 

[MenInG]

West Indies have won the toss and elected to bat in the 3rd and final T20I against Pakistan






Players with x next to their names are not playing

 

[silentkiller187]

Pakistan: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Muhammad Hasnain, Shahnawaz Dahani

Usman Qadir / kushdil left out once again should have come in for nawaz or shadab , and babar / fakhar

 

[Sycamore]

Shadab should've been rested, given that he has fitness issues regularly. Usman needs to be match fit so he should've been played.

Asif should've been swapped for Khushdil who was just starting to look a little confident in the Bangladesh t20s.

 

[Ami]

I think its the right team...would like to see Asif take a bit more responsibility, as oppose to playing like an Afridi clone.

Interesting with Hasnain...dont see anything with this guy except speed, and not even dangerous speed.

 

[silentkiller187]

hasnanin doesn't look like he has any skills or bowling nous apart from pace, just runs in and throws the ball down these type of bowlers wont succeed in international cricket as you need to be continuously on the ball and thinking of ways to outsmart batsmen.

 

[shah_1]

Imad is a better T20 bowler than Nawaz

Stadium's buzzing..

 

[Shafi]

This guy King has so much potential. Future star for sure!!!!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Khushdil should have played instead of Asif Ali and Usman Qadir instead of Shadab Khan

 

[TeymurBlake]

Brandon King is looking good. He's been pretty good this series.

 

[silentkiller187]

think its safe to say Wasim jr and Dhani have now overtaken Naseem Shah and Hasnain in the peking order

 

[Omer2002]

Imad wud have got tonked too..its a flat wicket

 

[shah_1]

Imad wud have got tonked too..its a flat wicket

Imad has that drift with the new ball, not easy.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Pakistan have got a game on there hands.... very good.

 

[mazkhan]

think its safe to say Wasim jr and Dhani have now overtaken Naseem Shah and Hasnain in the peking order

I've still got my doubts with that wasim jnr he can be expensive

 

[ethan hunt]

Shahnawaz dahani is bowling express fast today.
Upto 149.5 kph already.

 

[TeymurBlake]

That was a HUGE hit for six from Brandon King, but a solid comeback from Wasim Jnr.

 

[Rana]

This is what you call a T20 opener!

 

[Bull]

Shahnawaz dahani surely has got pace.He is gonna be the one for the future.

 

[silentkiller187]

I've still got my doubts with that wasim jnr he can be expensive

yes your right , still early days for all , but wasim also offers something with the bat even most of our usual batters cant, he plays unorthadox shots very well so would give him the edge in t20s for sure

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start by WI, i hope they get 200 here so that pakistan are fully tested in s run chase.

 

[silentkiller187]

haha after all the good fielding pakistan are back, dunno why iftikhar was shouting at hasnain after getting in his way, hasnanin made the call

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why Pakistan is not using this as an opportunity to test some new players?

 

[A.A.Z]

Even if Itfikhar pulled out Hasnain would have probably dropped it. Hasnain is the worst fielder to have played for Pakistan in recent times.

 

[silentkiller187]

warning for nawaaz for using saliva on the ball/fingers

 

[TeymurBlake]

Go-on Windies, test this Pakistan side. 200+ on the cards for the Windies.

 

[silentkiller187]

windies should cruise to 200 here , good batting surface average bowling so far, will be good test for our batsmen

 

[imshally81]

200+ on cards

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

We need wickets and quick time

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Bull]

Pakistan will always have the fast bowlers.

 

[silentkiller187]

dahani combined 2 or 3 celebrations in one there didnt know what o do

 

[Omer2002]

Not sure babz and rizzy can do their tuk tuk today from start

 

[TeymurBlake]

Constantly hitting the 140 mark.

 

[imshally81]

Great over by Dhaani

 

[imshally81]

Back to back Sixes

 

[silentkiller187]

what happened to the sana mir their "parrt time paaart time part time " couldnt get the words out

 

[ethan hunt]

Why Pakistan is not using this as an opportunity to test some new players?

There are like 6-8 new faces today from the team that played the wc

 

[TeymurBlake]

Good to see Windies playing with the mentality of nothing to lose. Attack Pakistanis bowlers.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Sixes all over the place

 

[Shafi]

If Babar stays longer we will loose this math for sure.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Will be nice to watch a competitive match finally... Hopefully we can chase down 180-190... will make for an interesting watch

 

[Firebat]

Wow Shadab is finding it impossible to bowl a single decent ball today.

 

[Omer2002]

Wow Shadab is finding it impossible to bowl a single decent ball today.

First over was good..but once the batter attacks you then its a diff story

 

[imshally81]

What a hit in Brian Lara Style..

 

[Amjid Javed]

our bowlers getting hammered today.

 

[Markhor]

Nice stuff from the Windies. Even a Test specialist like Brooks has come out swinging

 

[mazkhan]

Some of the tosh hasnain is bowling today

We may better of letting sohail khan back in the team or giving mir hamza a go

 

[MenInG]

 

[TeymurBlake]

Yep... Shadab should have definitely be rested for this game.

 

[Firebat]

I'm not an analyst but I really can't understand this Shadab vs Pooran battle. Keeps bowling slow and wide half-trackers, half of them wides, and Pooran inexplicably keeps missing them.

 

[Pakpak]

What on earth is Shadab doing?

 

[ha5is12]

Hasnain is bad

 

[Ahmed216]

Hasnain should be nowhere near the national side. His fielding is beyond atrocious

 

[ha5is12]

Hasnain is bad

Very very bad

 

[Ahmed216]

Dahani could made an impact in WC in place of hassan when latter hit poor form. But pak management were clueless they didnt even pick him in main squad. Dahani has always looked ready for internationals

 

[A.A.Z]

I'm not an analyst but I really can't understand this Shadab vs Pooran battle. Keeps bowling slow and wide half-trackers, half of them wides, and Pooran inexplicably keeps missing them.

Execution wasn't great but tactic was right. Pooran is making room so force him to reach for the ball.

 

[Firebat]

Dahani the only bowler who's not travelled thus far. Still 2 overs of his to go though.

 

[imshally81]

220 is on..

 

[ha5is12]

Dahani looks class. Uses his brain which is a novelty in Pakistan cricket

 

[A.A.Z]

Don't think Hasnain will ever be a limited overs bowler. Has absolutely no bowling intelligence plus a liability in the field.

He should play first-class cricket and try to become a test specialist. Has pace, height and decent outswing just needs to work on consistency.

 

[silentkiller187]

babar looks like he just takes a review cos he feels sorry for the bowler

 

[Rana]

Who decided to take that review?

 

[silentkiller187]

loving dahani already, the facial expressions the variations the celebrations, hopefully he can partner shaheen for years to come

 

[Shafi]

Hasnain is so bad!!!! Doesn't have any future.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Dhani doing the right thing. Bowl yorkers, constantly.

 

[imshally81]

Too many full toss...

 

[Omer2002]

Mo waseem got blasted today too

 

[ethan hunt]

Should have given the new ball to dahani.

 

[Shafi]

Both our openers are accumulator. One of Rizwan/Babar needs to be out in 2-3 overs. Preferably Babar because of his limited hitting ability.

 

[imshally81]

ODI series is postponed...

 

[sindhiboy]

Yorker machine

 

[realitygaf]

Dahani seems to be in a different league

 

[Firebat]

Dahani in this match looks to be bowling on a different pitch to different batsmen.
