Just checked the forecast and it has been predicted that it'll rain during the game and for a few hours

How true is this?

 

[MenInG]

Could be a problem but more importantly what changes should Pakistan make for this game?

Amad Butt, Khushdil Shah in, Iftikhar, Shaheen Afridi out

 

[Ronaldo7]

Drop Ahsan Ali and play Khushdil as an opener.

Play Amad Butt for whoever you want

 

[Darkrai]

Ahsan Ali should play, so we don't end up repeating the same mistakes of dropping players without giving them enough chances.

Khusdil, Amad, and Usman should be given a chance as well.

 

[Ryw]

Ammad butt and Khushdil should be tested tomorrow

Why was Ahsan even selected?

Just look at his t20 stats?

He's atrocious

 

[Justcrazy]

Malik and Hafeez will fail in Australia , mark my words. Very poor thinking by management , not looking at future.

Not sure, but the experts on youtube like him and they will bash the team management and PCB if he is dropped now. With enough pressure from these experts, PCB might be forced to select him again in the future. So it's better if we don't have to deal with this later since the T20 WC is coming soon and we have to find the right players.

Ahsan should be given 5 games to prove his worth . Regardless of his domestic stats he has been selected now . He did decent on his debut . Can’t drop players after 2-3 games just because he’s not our favourite or not an Akmal or hafeez or a Malik .

Next assignment is the PSL. If he does well there, he'll probably be retained, at least as a backup.

 

[Ronaldo7]

It's probably gonna get washed out

Everyone seems to agree that Khushdil should play. I will be seriously p*ssed if Misbah doesn’t give him a go.

 

[Hyperion66]

Extremely below per performance by BD so far, hopefully some good contest in this match.

Rumours seem to be pointing towards changes in the bowling but not in the batting lineup.

 

[SARJ_BD]

Khushdil (In) - Hafeez/Malik (Out)
Amad Butt (In) - Hasnain/Shaheen (Out)
UQadir (In) - Shadab (Out)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope we bat first.

Khushdil in, Hafeez out.

Amad in, Hasnain out

Qadir in, Shadab out
