Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup, 5th Match | Dhaka | 18/3/12 | India's Innings

[shahidafridi123]

Can we do it?

 

[cricketpassion]

Inshallah we will

 

[khalil1986]

Spinners will be reliable, if Gul and Wahab have an off day than we might be in trouble.

 

[duostyle]

Of course lol

 

[saeedhk]

Yes.Inshallah

 

[farazaidi]

ofcourse we can, but will we do it today is the question.

We could've got another 20 runs thou with the platform we had

 

[sam]

If 329 cannot be defended with the bowling resources at hand, Pakistan don't deserve to win.

 

[Hassan0987]

InshAllah we will

 

[AnotherIndian]

India will be all out for 150........

Batting is bound to fail miserably;y one of these days......

 

[shehzi]

Pak will win .... Ajmals 10 overs and wahabs yorkers in the end .... not easy for India

 

[imshally81]

InshAllah we will

 

[R0H1T]

Can we defend 329 ?

Yes you can but no(hopefully) you won't !

 

[jattafridi]

we are 15-20 runs short so only pray can save us

 

[SAF]

Lets goooo!

 

[Sandeep]

If 329 cannot be defended with the bowling resources at hand, Pakistan don't deserve to win.

gr8 gr8 joke....if pak can't nobody can...!

 

[Mcgrath]

If Pakistan bowl as well as they usually do, they can easily even defend 280

 

[SAF]

Target: 330.

We got this!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Waqar calling Kareena perfect haha

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Inshallah we can!

 

[R0H1T]

gr8 gr8 joke....if pak can't nobody can...!

That's a bit rich coming from you ! FYI they're playing :Akmal: as keeper & fielding surely is their weakest trade of the three at show here !

 

[Monty786]

India wont go down without a fight, I hope Pakistan can keep it tight enough for their batsmen to make mistakes. Ajmal will be key, pitch is spinning.

 

[12cavalry]

330 is more than enough.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Lets do it India....Come on....

 

[dhump]

this should be kept 329 is a good total.

 

[Looney]

Cricindo

 

[mastermind_quad]

In how many overs we have to win ....to get a bonus point .....lolz.....

 

[SAF]

Amir Sohail thinks Afridi is injured and unfit.

 

[Sandeep]

That's a bit rich coming from you ! FYI they're playing :Akmal: as keeper & fielding surely is their weakest trade of the three at show here !

as far as I know..pak's bowlers rarely depend on their fielders! they are a good bowling pack...accept mate

 

[ads101]

yeah.

It's funny to see people worried about 330. The same people would have gladly taken 260 before the match considering how bad our batting has been.

Spinners will do better on these pitches. Ashwin bowled rubbish and he still went at 5 something an over. And our pacers are better to I think.

 

[dhump]

Cricindo

this is what they want.

 

[pakistani lion]

One word.....IDONE

 

[in_cutter]

Considering the opening stand, we should have finished on 350-360. You never know with their batting lineup, it could be a walk in the park.

 

[Looney]

Yea of course

 

[JellyBro]

it will go down to the wire i think but we will take the cake

 

[IAJ]

Firstly this was a 350 runs wicket.

But 329 runs are more than enough. We have loaded our team with many bowlers so this should be defended though India are good chasers and have a very good batting line-up.

 

[90MPH]

Of course they can.

Its very a good batting wicket and India has a good strong batting line up but really no excuses.

I expect Pakistan to comfortably defend it.

 

[MVP26]

I expect cheema to leak runs

 

[kungfu90]

They will. Jamshed and Hafeez won it for you guys in 30 overs itself.

 

[PB]

Hopefully Tendulkar's hand is injured and forces him into retirement .

 

[ares1000]

we had better defend it.

 

[Rana]

I personally feel that we are 20-30 runs short.

But, our bowling attack is as illustrious as their batting order, the real battle in cricket is Indian batsmen against pakistani bowlers on pancakes!

 

[shehzi]

IF PAK WIN ... india goes out of tournament ?? confirm ?

 

[Monty786]

Lets see how Umar performs behind the stumps now, not a great decision as far as I'm concerned but lets see!

 

[Inswinger]

Sachin missed a lot of time in the field. DOn't think he should be allowed to open.

 

[mastermind_quad]

330 bahut jyada hotein hain.....

lets see what our batters can do......

 

[jattafridi]

330 bahut jyada hotein hain.....

lets see what our batters can do......

kohli key liye nahee

 

[Looney]

I am more worried about our fielding , our bowling shhould be alright .

 

[Looney]

Amir Sohail thinks Afridi is injured and unfit.

Woh khud aik injured aur unfit aadmi hai

 

[Inswinger]

Expect at least one drop from Umar. Can't believe we're going with a part time keeper again.....

 

[ftbno1]

India will win this for sure!!

I have full faith in indian batsman and i believe if only one or two of any of our batters have a good day we will win easily.Chak de India

 

[sehban]

india was again slow in their over rate today

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

We need to get early break throughs in first 10 overs.

[Sherazkhalid]

IF PAK WIN ... india goes out of tournament ?? confirm ?

Well if bd loses then its a three way tie in SL, IND, BD, may go down to RR, if IND loses big today their NRR will take a hit, we are in finals as long as we dont give bonus pt.

 

[AnotherIndian]

India will lose this badly...........

Batting is bound to fail one of these days

India deserve to lose badly for the 2nd string trundlers they selected for Asia cup.... Why would you send these bowlers who bowl at a predictable 120k with not much variation on flat Asia pitches???

 

[Rana]

Hafeez will bowl 10 overs for 30-40 and maybe a couple of wickets

that will leave 40 overs to get 290ish

Ajmal will bowl 10 overs for 40-60 but with 2 or 3 wickets

these two are pivotal for pakistan's chances of winning as they will leave the required rate soaring.

However, Gul, Riaz and Cheema will certainly be taken to the cleaners IMO

 

[QazzarFan]

Think Pakistan caught a lucky break...Sachin might not bat

 

[PB]

Woh khud aik injured aur unfit aadmi hai

) Reminding me of the "gatiya" incident.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

6.5 runs per over is easy on this pitch.

 

[badmash_420]

how much longer?!

 

[Mian Hassan]

I think Ajmal might have something to say about that

 

[pakpassfan]

Pakistan will win.period

 

[iZeeshan]

#jinx

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Inshallah we will!

with the bowling resources we have...I don't see why not!

Pakistan Zindabad!

 

[dhump]

India can win this but easily and for sure I am not so sure.

 

[12cavalry]

Woh khud aik injured aur unfit aadmi hai

Considering what Afridi said about Amir. I think Amir has been really fair, and maybe a little too kind on Afridi. Dont think its the injury. Afridi is just out of form with the bat.

 

[akheR]

"Easily"

 

[violet_may]

Tbh, we were set for at least 350.

Afridi's innings, did not expect him to tuk tuk ). Kya ho gaya bhai jaan? Man is getting old.

Anyways, good target but India is capable of chasing such scores. Would've felt safe with 350!

 

[ads101]

The prof opening? bold by misbah

 

[imshally81]

M Hafeez in

 

[Hamxa89]

Hafeez!? )

 

[pakistani lion]

slow them, choke them with their run rate and then kill them

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Why on earth is opening the bowling for Pakistan?

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hafeez to open

 

[yadunoe]

no way they make this

 

[Sherazkhalid]

interesting hafeez opening.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

with three pacers and 330 on the board , misbah starts with hafeez

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez to start the proceedings

 

[Hamxa89]
