Should be an easy win for Pakistan but following Pakistan team for so many years I know that Pakistan will make a mess of it only to win it in the end.

I think this match is between Pakistan and Pakistan, to put it in Ponting's words.

Speaks volumes of the Indian team which got dismantled by this 'garbage' bowler at home in a world tournament not too long ago. Let's see you remember when, unless you're a kid who picked up cricket a year or so ago

You scared away a new PP fan.

PCT are no way losing this..

pakistan need to have big wins in last two games I think hasnain should be tried this game and hafeez should stay

They definitely need to try out Hasnain at this stage. If Pak go through, you never know when we might need an extra paceman. I am hoping he can 1. Rattle the Afghans and Bangladeshis with his extra pace. 2. Top the speed charts in just his first match !

Just focus on playing cricket and don’t get riled up PCT

This is a banana skin game for Pakistan, I get the feeling it will be a lot closer than most expect.

Pakistan tend to perform well in games people don't expect them to and then look hopeless against teams they should smash.

I agree they need to be wary of Afghans after losing in warm up and almost losing in Asia cup

Australia, India and England everyone are on their edge the way Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled not just our boys, what a marvelous display of fast bowling we got to see. I just hope we put up a fight and win hearts as usual

At least you will be winning hearts unlike Afghans who will win nothing.
