Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup: Super Four | Dubai | Sep 23, 2018 | India Innings

[Abdullah719]

Defend 237? Likely?

Need bowlers to fire.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fielding has to be at top. If we have any chance to win this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian middle order is weak as well. 2 inform batsmen followed by 4 washed up batsmen.

 

[Dingolfy]

I want Pakistan to take our openers for cheap.Want to know how our middle order would fare.Hope Dhoni fails massively today.He would drag us down in WC 19 with his pathetic batting.

 

[Usman Chadda]

On this wicket, mushkil hai?

 

[nextover666666]

Will be tough to defend this not only need to take wickets but make sure they don't score easy runs don't give them easy singles and field amazingly

 

[Pete Rose]

This should be a cake walk barring an extraordinary bowling spell

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan/Rohit = 70% of INdia's chances. With no Pandya down the order a weak lower order. Jadhav, Dhoni, KKD, Rayudu one of the most pathetic middle order in my living memory.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I said earlier that we might chase 220 and i stick by that. That beating by Asif Ali killed all chances. 20 runs too many. Too much pressure on our useless 3-6.

 

[Mueez]

Will be tough, but who knows.

 

[Bangalorean]

I want Pakistan to take our openers for cheap.Want to know how our middle order would fare.Hope Dhoni fails massively today.He would drag us down in WC 19 with his pathetic batting.

Second that... middle order's time to deliver, to chase this score without help from top 2 !

 

[Madplayer]

India to lose the plot soon. And get bundled out for less than 200.

 

[BlackShadow]

Raydus and Jadhav's don't inspire much confidence, but this total shouldn't be a big deal against Pakistan attack. I predict a win by 6 wickets with 5 overs to spare.

 

[BlackShadow]

I want Pakistan to take our openers for cheap.Want to know how our middle order would fare.Hope Dhoni fails massively today.He would drag us down in WC 19 with his pathetic batting.

I doubt that will make a difference now. Kohli and Shastree are dheets when it comes to Dhoni's place in the side.

 

[Rayyman]

Need to field well

 

[QalandarFan]

If we dismiss openers early we can win this.

 

[Dingolfy]

I doubt that will make a difference now. Kohli and Shastree are dheets when it comes to Dhoni's place in the side.

But failure against Pakistan might push the red button.But these conditions are tailor-made for him. On slow pattas with small target against Pakistan's notorious fielding, he can still play those ugly shots and scamper runs hard.

 

[dhurandharj]

It's a pathetic indian middle order, have not seen such a brittle one. Dhoni is long past his batting prime. Kohlis superior stat managed to hide that blemish so far. We needed a solid one , maybe like rahane or atleast an impact player like rahul

 

[alized]

PLEASE don’t drop catches off Afridi bowling!

 

[alized]

Hopefully Rohit Sharma becomes Shaheen’s duck

 

[daytrader]

Catches win matches, chances will be there as long as we don't drop them

 

[Itachi]

Take out the openers, Pakistan will win.

DK, Rayudu, jadav, Dhoni..... If Pakistan can't handle this pathetic middle order, you guys should held the head in shame.

 

[light]

Zaman out of form or can't cope with pressure?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Zaman out of form or can't cope with pressure?

Had a brainfade

 

[BaankeJi]

Take out the openers, Pakistan will win.

DK, Rayudu, jadav, Dhoni..... If Pakistan can't handle this pathetic middle order, you guys should held the head in shame.

If this middle order can score more than 60-70 runs , then bowling attack is woeful.

 

[rhony]

Amir plucking Dhawan and Rohit early will be beneficial to everyone including Amir, Indian middle order. They need to be tested now before it comes crashing ala CT final.

 

[B_Positive]

I back us to win this. although we are 13 runs short of a par score. Just need to take openers, rest will just come and go for fun

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Chase this down within 45 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has problem with "first timers" against them.

 

[Markhor]

Little margin for error for our bowlers given our failure to cross 250.

Need a strong new ball spell.

 

[rhony]

Zaman out of form or can't cope with pressure?

That's what massive expectations combined with lack of skill does. They keep bowling him middle and leg and he can't score there. Not even singles

 

[Madplayer]

Zaman out of form or can't cope with pressure?

He had scores throughout CT. He played well today and was looking to smash before given wrongly out for the second time in 2 matches. Do you understand that? In 2 matches he was given out wrongly twice. Means he lost opportunities to score big, not because of his own fault but because of umpires. Pressure? What pressure? Ineptness from umpires thats it. Problem with Zamaan is that he is selfless and if he isnt sure, he doesnt wanna take a review.

 

[BlackShadow]

DK, Rayudu, jadav, Dhoni..... If Pakistan can't handle this pathetic middle order, you guys should held the head in shame.

True, this is probably the worst middle order India can field. If Pakistan can't get them out, they better shift their focus to 2023 WC.

Cant blam it on umpires bro. Babar was there too and had the same view. And he advised him not to take the review.

Yes because he was looking like a million bucks before that happened

U should look at how he played until he got out. Yes he scored in CT and was the best batsman along with Dhawan there. But his lack of confidence shows in his inability to review. The way he lost his balance while playing a ball on middle. The way he can't rotate when there is no room to hit. He kept middling the balls but sent them straight to fielders. Teams have found him out and aren't giving him room to free his arms. Happens to every batsman in their 2nd year and happened to Sehwag too. Now he needs to.improve his leg side play

 

[B_Positive]

If Bangladesh wins today and we lose.. We might be out of the finals if we dont beat Bangladesh in next game then

 

[asadee]

Not might we will be

 

[Madplayer]

Why cant we blame it on umpires whose job is to male correct decisions? Even if we go to court for this, i am confident that the judge will also blame the umpire. Batsman's review is secondary. Umpire's job is primary. Fakhar didnt get out in last two games because of his own lack of ability with the bat, nobody in the world can prove otherwise.

 

[B_Positive]

Keep the hopes high guys :

Highest targets chased down in ODIs in Dubai DSC:
285 SL vs Pak, 2013
275 Pak vs SA, 2010
247 Pak vs NZ, 2014
238 Eng vs Pak, 2012

 

[MRSN]

If Bangladesh wins today and we lose.. We might be out of the finals if we dont beat Bangladesh in next game then

Lmao when will we stop relying on others to lose for final spot?

 

[Asif321]

Field good get openers early we have good chance

He is a human bro. Mistakes happen.

I saw how he batted live. And He had already started coming into the groove hitting a massive six and raising his strike rate quickly from 30 to 70. Before the stupid umpire gave him out.

Can you prove to me that Fakhar got out because he is out of form and not because of umpire's mistake? You cant.

 

[MMHS]

I repeat again - DRS shouldn't be with the players.

Decent but below average score from PAK - blowers will have to bail out team again if they are to win tonight. He played decent, considering recent form, but have to say Sarfraz is the culprit again, costing at least 25 runs. Got Babar Run Out, then almost stagnated the score board.

 

[adzzy786]

Will be interesting to see. Looking forward to the Amir Afridi opening partnership. 2 quick wickets then game on

I think like its used in run outs, DRS should be used in LBWs same way

 

[adzzy786]

We need to have an amazing fielding performance

 

[B_Positive]

I dont know how Malik keeps rescuing us. Noone else stands up...

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can Pakistan win? Can the bowlers defend this?

 

[ManFan]

We need to have an amazing fielding performance

After a particularly bad day, Pakistan produces a great fielding performance.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Pakistan are a bowler short, Nazareth is no Jaddu

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan team selection is poor , two specialist spinners was must here

 

[rhony]

Can you prove to me that Fakhar got out because he is out of form and not because of umpire's mistake? You cant.

Umpire made a mistake and if Fakhar couldnt realize he hit the ball with his glove then you can't blame the umpire or Babar. He lost balance, had an awkward stretch and fall and lack of confidence or being selfless, he didnt review. It was his fault as he didn't ckaim his chance

 

[B_Positive]

Can Pakistan win? Can the bowlers defend this?

If we take both openers under 37... Then yes

 

[MMHS]

I think like its used in run outs, DRS should be used in LBWs same way

Today was completely PAK's fault - trust me. This is basic cricket sense that you use your DRS to protect your best player (s) and today Fakhar just started to get going. He didn't feel that he had touched the ball, which is surprising, but basic batting sense is against spinners on turning wicket, you should review - just one Orange and the Review would have been retained.

Quite foolish actually from a top order batsmen, groomed under Mickey.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I feel like DRS should be abandoned altogether or every single wicket or appeal should be checked with DRS. [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] What say you?

 

[Something]

Let's go lads! We can do this

 

[Justcrazy]

Amir with new ball , can he strike ?

 

[Madplayer]

Umpire made a mistake and if Fakhar couldnt realize he hit the ball with his glove then you can't blame the umpire or Babar. He lost balance, had an awkward stretch and fall and lack of confidence or being selfless, he didnt review. It was his fault as he didn't ckaim his chance

Cant blame the umpire? Wow. You must be an umpire yourself to defend your fellow umpire.

 

[adzzy786]

Need to bowl tight. Can not give freebies

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes India have this

 

[Madplayer]

I feel like DRS should be abandoned altogether or every single wicket or appeal should be checked with DRS. [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] What say you?

I think you are right. Only issue is that it will be time consuming.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Amir is playing
Pakistan playing with 3 bowler
Shaheen
Hassan
and
Amir+Shadab+Nawaz=1

 

[MMHS]

Pakistan team selection is poor , two specialist spinners was must here

WC preparation and for net practice they needed 6 pacers - you can't blame. Also Fahim is a balanced all-rounder like Imran was, means he can contribute both with bat & ball - instead of 6 pacers, I should correct myself to 5.5. Add, Haris, Malik & Fakhar's spin ......................

 

[Justcrazy]

I think that Pakistan lack of specialist spinners will hurt them.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Aamir looks threatening

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Oooh that was close

 

[Madplayer]

Amir looking threatening.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

See we were just tapping those straight balls

 

[Something]

Just fell short on that last ball off of Amir!

 

[adzzy786]

Can’t believe they ran 3

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Our lack of batting will cost is in the world cup

 

[ExpressPacer]

No demons in the pitch as Pakistan had displayed. Shaheen going to get taken apart.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cant blame the umpire? Wow. You must be an umpire yourself to defend your fellow umpire.

Umpires have made mistakes in every other match. There's a reason there's a system called the DRS. Stupidity on the part of Babar not to let Fakhar review that.

 

[adzzy786]

Dropped

 

[Madplayer]

Swing for Shaheen

 

[rhony]

I repeat again - DRS shouldn't be with the players.

Couldn't agree with you more. The third umpire should just check it and relay it to the field umpire. It's shouldn't be up to the players

 

[Justcrazy]

I think on Asian pitches Faheem has to be the third pacer.

Shadab in fact can be promoted up the order , and Pakistan can fit in two spinners.
