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

It should be enough to say Asif is a t20 material only
Shadab and Nawaz are just bowlers
 
238 target!!!! Walk in a park for India They will win by 40 overs with 6-7 wickets in hand
 
237 is about 35-40 runs short but it is a fighting total. Need our bowlers to be on the top of their game and hopefully we don't drop any catches
 
Another inning where India did absolutely zilch but Pakistan batsmen were kind enough to gift them wickets. Fakhar and Babar should go hang their heads in shame after this display. 10 mins of chaos has cost us about 30-40 runs here.

Pakistan still hasn’t played their best cricket, and its been three matches. No momentum here.
 
Shadab has some potential as a proper bat but isn't a hitter. Missing Faheem here.

Nawaz just stands and swings across. Has just the one shot

Yep. Thais is why fahim is important to the team. He would have hit at least a few of these half Yorkers to the boundary. If only we had a proper spinner to play instead of one of these fast bowlers.
 
Strong finish from India. Bumrah kept firing in those yorkers making it difficult for the batsmen to hit out.

Pakistan will be disappointed not to cross 250.
 
Needed 280. India should be comfortable unless we are brilliant with the new ball

For India to be comfortable chasing this, we need to ball poorly. On Dubai’s pitch this is pretty competitive.

The highest chase was by Pak in this Asia Cup in last match
 
This happens when you fill so many bits and pieces players in the same team - Imam, Shadab, Nawaz, Mohammad Amir and Faheem Ashraf.
 
What a terrible finish by Shadab and Nawaz. You have to question their cricketing brain. How can you keep letting the bowlers bowl yorkers?!!!

No paddle sweeps, no moving around in the crease, not coming down the track.. What a weak end to what was promising to be a good innings!
 
I have always said this: Our team only has 4 batsmen, others are just mediocre all rounders. Shadab, Faheem and Nawaz can’t even score quick 15 runs. With this line up, we will end up with scores of 200-210
 
38 runs, 3 wickets in last 7 overs..good come back. But damage has been caused already. Can't trust our oldies to chase 170+ if the opener gets out cheaply.
 
This will be chased inside 45 overs, and that makes me question yet again.... why are we not trying young kids against such weak sides??! :facepalm:
 
5 boundaries in the last 10’overs. 1 boundary came in the last 5. Poor cricket. Faheem, Shadab and Nawaz are not batsman. They are over inflated minnow bashers. Honestly don’t understand the hype around them.
 
Shadab is poor when it comes to hitting boundaries. Not just technique, but he showed complete lack of game awareness today.

You were spot on about Imam though! Mighty 10 again. ;)
 
not a bad score considering how things were going if Malik and asif didn't get out score would be higher but that's the past. Pakistan will need to look to take wickets and slow the run rate and put pressure
 
Atleast we improved on last time. Hopefully it means we get 250+ in the final. :yk #peakattherighttime.

Faheem didn’t even play today. He is much better than both Shadab and Nawaz to get quick runs.
 
I knew Pakistan batsmen tuk-tuk at the start and middle of the innings, but realized they could do that in the death overs too! Like I always said, you ain't winning against us regularly unless you fix your batting which needs heavy investment in your domestic structure.
 
The point was about you expecting your batsmen to score 18 runs off Bumrah's last over :D

Girtey hain shehsawaar hi maidaan e jung main,
Woh Tifl kya girey jo ghutno ke bal chaley.

Bumrah won the battle. Pakistan will win the war. :afridi

Agree with that. But sometimes we are too harsh on young cricketers, both havent even played 30 ODIs matches and experience of international cricket is totally different and can only be learned through playing.

In qn year or two this team will become some real powerhouse, talent is there but no one experience to back that

Lol! You have top 3 (If we include Kohli) with experience of more than 500 matches and ours dont have even 100 matches.

Just wait for an year or so

They aren't really batsmen, you need your specialists to get to 250, after that maybe the all rounders could be expected to push it towards 300 if they have a solid base to work from...which they never do against India.

Oh yeah! 'Tailunt' is always there in Pakistan.Even Afridi had that but couldn't get it out even after playing 300 plus ODIs.
Seriously, do you see anything fundamentally different in these players compared to your past players? They bat and field in the same damn way!

I'm all for being patient with the younger lot but these guys have played SO MUCH T20 cricket that you'd expect them to deal better with yorkers. Nawaz was even blocking the ones that Bumrah missed!

I just feel like you néed to think on the fly and improvise. They stuck with the conventional approach for some odd reason and cost us crucial runs at the end

Only talent can win a CT17 for such an inexperienced (Do some work and check the experience) and no 8 ranked at that time.

Its my opinion you dont wanna agree, dont. :shezzy2
