Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup | Karachi | 02/07/2008 | Pakistan Innings

[FAM]

Pakistan need 41 runs in 60 balls

 

[sehban]

well done misbah!!!
pak 268-2 40 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

Free Hit!

 

[pakistanbest]

Younis Khan = Shere-e-Pakistan

And I cannot believe people wanted him out of the ODI side!

Now stop turning on MoYo, he is pure class!

AGREED BOTH ARE WORLD CLASS PLAYERS AND HAVE PORVED SO TIME AND TIME AGAIN

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NO BALL by Sharma and a FREE HIT with YK on strike!

 

[Mohsin]

no ball, free hit!!

 

[Zeenix]

free hit

 

[lollol]

I think it will be the slower one again!

 

[Momo]

when you score in first 15 overs in any game it is very hard for any opposition to contain the batsmen who are set and if they are trnudlers like what India possess it should be be cake walk.

exactly. first 20 overs are key. preserving wickets for a late charge is baloney.

 

[siddharth]

Brilliant knocks .I am a fan of Misbah forever ,great man .

 

[Sparhawk]

Just one.

 

[Wiji]

YK showing off them push up's to Malik that excerise hard n get fit mate!

Yeah, I think it's a joke directed towards Malik. I'm sure he was laughing from his hospital bed.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just a single off that free hit

 

[Sparhawk]

Can we get 39 in 4 overs.. should really be raining fours and sixes at this stage.

 

[pakistanbest]

We Need Some Quick Runs

 

[MIG]

Waited too long for the assault - dont think we can make this in 2 overs

 

[Zeenix]

4 by misba

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good placement by Misbah 4 runs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aagay hi Aagay!

 

[XFactor]

Terrific knocks by Younus and Misbah. Cometh the hour, Cometh the man .. er.. men!

This gives Pakistan a chance to be in the final.

India has looked totally flat in the field today. The break at Dreamworld (did I get it right? ) didnt help obviously..

 

[Sparhawk]

Magnificent cut shot by misbah... theres a touch of pure class in his shots. They just rocket off the bat!!

 

[Oxy]

Teeli Sharma being spanked to all parts - another 4 by Mizbi...

 

[pakistanbest]

Shot By Misbah 444444444444444444444

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak 276 for 2 after 41 overs

 

[thurkeebaba]

what did D. Morrison say when aamir replied that "when he scored 50, and we ended up on the loosing side"

 

[Indiafan]

Again amazing chase by Pak

 

[Rickz]

India giving away a lot of rubbish.

 

[Zeenix]

Yaar our 2nd string line up can perform so good..

 

[NeVerMind]

exactly. first 20 overs are key. preserving wickets for a late charge is baloney.

Worked in the kitply cup. The thing is you need to be adaptable for various sitautions.

 

[Mohsin]

what did D. Morrison say when aamir replied that "when he scored 50, and we ended up on the loosing side"

Players scoring 50 in captaining debut. Aamir scored 55

 

[pakistanbest]

Waited too long for the assault - dont think we can make this in 2 overs

WHY IN TWO OVERS?

 

[kasoo10]

So are we officially out of the Asia Cup or there is a maricle that can give us a chance?

 

[siddharth]

Terrific knocks by Younus and Misbah. Cometh the hour, Cometh the man .. er.. men!

This gives Pakistan a chance to be in the final.

India has looked totally flat in the field today. The break at Dreamworld (did I get it right? ) didnt help obviously..

They are still dreaming...

 

[TruSachFan]

damn india has to play back to back trw

hope rp singh gets the game.

 

[lollol]

I hope they now they have a chance - yes a VERY small one, but still - to reach the finals....

 

[Boi]

What a run chase from the boyz great batting

 

[jusarrived]

Waited too long for the assault - dont think we can make this in 2 overs

nuthing wrong there , they had to first make sure they win the match ...next to come is afridi , thats pretty much the tail for pak !

 

[Zeenix]

why have they slowed down.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Players scoring 50 in captaining debut. Aamir scored 55

ah, ok. thanks mate

 

[pakistanbest]

people are saying we need to win by the 42 over, why is this?

 

[MIG]

Ok so if we win in say 48 overs, do we still have a chance?

 

[NeVerMind]

Boys, whether we reach the final or not, this has been a class perfromance against a full strenght side Indian side (and our severly weakened side). My hats off to the Pakistani team! that's why I love them and keep coming back...

 

[Zeenix]

They need to cut loose....

 

[pakistanbest]

we need to start hitting boundries and finish this in the next two overs

 

[Logic]

why have they slowed down.

May be they don't want to play the final issed:

 

[MIG]

why have they slowed down.

Just hope to God that they know their target !

 

[kasoo10]

This win is meaningless if we do not reach final! What are the scenarios now?

 

[ali_ed2006]

Ok so if we win in say 48 overs, do we still have a chance?

yes i believe so. just hope SL wins tomorrow, then we have the opportunity to play against Bangladesh and beat them badly.

 

[Zeenix]

Dammit... Have they already resigned from the final..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They need to get these 30 runs off 16 balls now.....

 

[Mohsin]

They've really slowed down, target Kumar he aint dooing nothing. No pace, no swing...

 

[Momo]

Worked in the kitply cup. The thing is you need to be adaptable for various sitautions.

Sure. When playing in New Zealand and chasing 213, you must be watchful at the start.
However, on Karachi cement pitch, scoing 100 in first 25 in the hope of making 200 in last 25 makes no sense, does it?
(If anything, it should be the other way around because top order has all the advantages: a hard ball, field restrictions, they are better skilled than lower order batsmen and so on).

 

[pakistanbest]

we need to start slogging we got enough batters to come and take us home, we need sixes

 

[FAM]

why have they slowed down!?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Do they even know about the equation?! Doesn't seem like it!

 

[Indiafan]

Boys, whether we reach the final or not, this has been a class perfromance against a full strenght side Indian side (and our severly weakened side). My hats off to the Pakistani team! that's why I love them and keep coming back...

No way is this full strength Indian team but yes good performance

 

[Zeenix]

I don't think they trust the other batsmen very much

 

[thurkeebaba]

Ok so if we win in say 48 overs, do we still have a chance?

yep. If India gets totally thrashed tomorrow.

 

[Mohsin]

444444444444444444444444444444

 

[Zeenix]

4 by younis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK hits a boundary!

 

[Mohsin]

No way is this full strength Indian team but yes good performance

Who have they dropped? Pathan came back...

 

[Oxy]

Misbah spanks another four

286-2

 

[XFactor]

Karachi crowd looks pleasantly surprised at the way the match has turned out.

 

[lollol]

Aamir Sohail making a valid point...

Does IND really need so many batsmen on a flat track like this....

 

[Oxy]

Restoration of Pride.

Very much damaged in the last week.

Doubt we'll make the final - but fighting stuff. Thats what we want to see!

 

[kasoo10]

yep. If India gets totally thrashed tomorrow.

Ok so once more it is India or SL that need to do something to get us into final. Is there anything we can do?

 

[pakistanbest]

22 runs should come of the 43rd over Insh'Allah

 

[Rickz]

Who have they dropped? Pathan came back...

No Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid, H Singh, Zaheer and Sreesanth.

 

[Zeenix]

Yaar whether we reach the final or not.. Hats of to them.. especially Younis Khan.. To keep on batting and running in such a tense match and such hot weather, its a special..

 

[Indiafan]

Restoration of Pride.

Very much damaged in the last week.

Doubt we'll make the final - but fighting stuff. Thats what we want to see!

yep, the team is improving

 

[Mohsin]

Ok so once more it is India or SL that need to do something to get us into final. Is there anything we can do?

THRASH, THRASH, THRASH Bangladesh?

 

[Oxy]

Driven HARD by YK for 4

292-2

 

[Zeenix]

4 to youmis

 

[Mohsin]

44444444444444444444

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK hits a boundary! Atleast he knows something I guess!

 

[lollol]

Restoration of Pride.

Very much damaged in the last week.

Doubt we'll make the final - but fighting stuff. Thats what we want to see!

Agree, chances are very small.

But IMAGINE we wont reach it because of to low NRR.. Misbah & YK must hit 6's now!

 

[NeVerMind]

Sure. When playing in New Zealand and chasing 213, you must be watchful at the start.

(If anything, it should be the other way around because top order has all the advantages: a hard ball, field restrictions, they are better skilled than lower order batsmen and so on).

Though it nearly did work for us again. It was S Malik's retiring hurt, MoYo's untimely run-out and and Afridi who couldn't hit water if he fell out off a boat that we couldn't score in excess of 330.

 

[W63L35]

Ok so once more it is India or SL that need to do something to get us into final. Is there anything we can do?

SL needs to beat India by a big margin and then we need to beat BD by a bigger margin.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Ok so once more it is India or SL that need to do something to get us into final. Is there anything we can do?

yep.. Beat Bangladesh
