[Invincible Gujjar]

Bhuvneshwar the trundler is back

 

[Rayyman]

Bhuvneshwar the trundler is back

The Indian spearhead striking fear into our hearts

 

[Varun]

Pakistan cruising at the moment. Can make 250+ which is an elite score on these wickets.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nikhil bhai, you really believe in your jinxing capability. Gotta give you that. As soon as Pakistan does slightly better, you come out with your spells.

Lol. Theres's no such thing as jinxing and anti-jinxing. Pakistan are ahead this game and are finally playing to their potential.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good to see Shadab padded up. He needs to come in next.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Ravindra jadeja is definitely one of the best fielder in the world

 

[castortroy]

Pitch looks very easy to bat on now

 

[DeadBall]

Dhoni brings pace back in to stem the RR.

 

[Something]

Sohail's commentary is so generic.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

The Indian spearhead striking fear into our hearts

LOL! yeah!

 

[Slim]

Pakistan cruising at the moment. Can make 250+ which is an elite score on these wickets.

Another attempt at jinxing by the Indian side. Come on guys, have some faith in your team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Khaleel shouldn't really be a problem

They haven't played him in the nets.

 

[Kashmirilion]

This is nerve wracking

 

[hussain.r97]

Shadab should come in before Asif. Asif is best in the final 10 overs, while Shadab takes time to get into his hitting zone.

 

[Syed1]

Good that pacers are on now... spinners will have to bowl in the death. Fat lady Kuldeep has punchable face and smashable bowls.

 

[desi_launda]

BK having a good day so far.... 5 overs for just 10 runs.However,he might get smashed by Malik in the overs to come

 

[BlackShadow]

Pandya was being milked by us last time.

He has a knack of picking wickets (with good deliveries), and bowls fine at death with slower ones and cutters. Jadhav on the other hand is total fluke and will be taken apart any time batsmen show intent.

 

[Mueez]

I really don't like the arrogance Indian players have.

 

[theariezman]

Why can't we have more players like Malik in the team?

Because we don't have any at the moment and no one wants Hafeez in the team.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I really don't like the arrogance Indian players have.

Huh what did they do?

 

[alized]

Pakistan cruising at the moment. Can make 250+ which is an elite score on these wickets.

India will chase down 250 in 32.4 overs

 

[Sirris]

Finally seniors stepping up and holding the end. Now they need to guide us to a respectable score.

 

[Something]

Boys slowing down a bit now

 

[Hbomb00]

Jadeja needs to be smashed for a six

 

[UP]

Im pretty sure we have played 100 dot balls at least.

 

[theariezman]

India will chase down 250 in 32.4 overs

itni bhi andhi nahin lagi

 

[alized]

Bengalis also making come back

 

[Kashmirilion]

Pakistan cruising at the moment. Can make 250+ which is an elite score on these wickets.

Nothing in the pitch for bowlers India should be confident to chase anything Pak scores this seem a 280 plus wicket

 

[Syed1]

India will chase down 250 in 32.4 overs

Grow up child

 

[Napa]

India should always play Umesh Yadav against Pakistan. In the 3 matches he has played against Pakistan, his economy rate is 4.47 and avg per wkt 21.8.

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...n=7;template=results;type=bowling;view=series

Umesh is fast but often inaccurate. While batsmen from a team like Australia have the power to punish him, the Pakistani batsmen don't.

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...n=2;template=results;type=bowling;view=series

Biggest mistake India made in CT was playing Ashwin and Jadeja in the final and not Umesh.

 

[B_Positive]

I really don't like the arrogance Indian players have.

What happened?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sarfraz needs to get a move on.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I really don't like the arrogance Indian players have.

I think Indian players have behaved well under Rohit Sharma.

 

[Syed1]

Only 8 overs from pacers left

 

[UP]

Somehow get to 270 please.

 

[Sarwar89]

250 will be a par score on this pitch, however Pakistan will need to get at least 3 wickets in the first 15 overs or else Hitman will chase it down.

 

[Something]

Been a while since a boundary. Let's get a few of those in

 

[Rana]

Typical Pakistan slow down when someone is nearing a 50 or a hundred.

 

[alized]

What happened?

Shikhar Dhawan stares rather creepily at the opposition.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Only 8 overs from pacers left

Let's not forget Asif cannot survive an over of spin to save his life.

 

[Mueez]

Huh what did they do?

What happened?

Bhuvneshwar's behaviour annoys me sometimes.

 

[Syed1]

Its harder to hit pacers... glad we played three off them.

 

[Something]

Asif Ali's role will be crucial today. We could use a quickfire 30 odd from him

 

[Arham_PakFan]

This has been a good recovery by the batsmen

 

[bantu]

Very good batting from these two... If they manage to get 250 + , will be very competitive...
If India chase this it will boost their confidence further or even if they lose a close game , it will prepare them for the final... So Good game for India ( unless they collapse to lose it easily)..

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Fifty for malak Saab.Shabba shera

 

[ExpressPacer]

Somehow get to 270 please.

Impossible.

 

[B_Positive]

Yet another 50 for Shoib.. Brilliant performance....

 

[alized]

Malik back to back fifties against the Afghanis and Hindis. Let’s make it into 100!

 

[Hbomb00]

Can we get 40 in next 5 overs?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bhuvneshwar's behaviour annoys me sometimes.

Oh alright. I thought they actually did something.

 

[Boi]

With 7 wickets in hand we should really get a 100 in the last 10.

 

[desi_launda]

Pak in full control now ,25 runs in last 5 overs.270+ on if one of these two gets into the final 5 overs

 

[daytrader]

Well done Malik. Well deserved

 

[alized]

This has been a good recovery by the batsmen

*Captains. A official captain and a psuedo-captain.

 

[Rayyman]

Honestly Shadab should go down to #9 now. Asif and Nawaz will be more handy.

 

[Syed1]

Is Sarf specialist captain now

 

[castortroy]

No chance of 270. Someone will have to go nuts.

Also Bumrah has 5 overs left

 

[Fahdi]

A pitch where even after a disastrous start a team can get to 250 is clearly a 280 or above pitch. Pakistan's biggest hope is the fact that the Indian batting lineup is basically their openers, get them in the first 10 overs and it's game on.

But first have to get to 250, we may be 160 all out from for all we know

 

[Varun]

Another attempt at jinxing by the Indian side. Come on guys, have some faith in your team.

The opening partnership is the only card we've got.

I have no faith in anybody else.

And you are playing your best bowling attack of the tournament.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Excellent come back from Pak, 270 is ON now.

 

[Syed1]

Do or die day for Asif.... we need a 30 ball 50 from him today.

 

[Madplayer]

I can sense An Asif special today.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This pitch is better than the ones before. India should chase up to 260 comfortably

 

[BlackShadow]

Moral of the story, play 3 pacers in the final against Afganistan.

 

[ARK Rafay]

That's good from Malik and Sarfraz. Malik telling Sarfraz in the 35th over to calm down. Now after drinks break they can start to get their gear 1 up after 40 overs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The opening partnership is the only card we've got.

I have no faith in anybody else.

And you are playing your best bowling attack of the tournament.

Yeah. Shaheen, a rested Aamir, shadab,hasan and nawaz. No respite or easy bowler to target.

 

[Asif321]

Both need to carry on for 5 overs more and then start firing

 

[Kashmirilion]

Indian have been well behaved I think [MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION] is frustrated like most of us anything opposition does just adds salt to the wounds. It's just nerves bro chill

 

[Asif321]

We need quick fire 40 from Asif shadabor nawaz

 

[alized]

Is Sarf specialist captain now

No he’s a specialist sweeper

 

[Asif321]

Fakhars stupidity put the pressure on

 

[B_Positive]

109 off last 15 now is a must. Anything above is bonus. We have 7 wickets in hand. If its not achieved then its criminal

 

[Syed1]

Yeah. Shaheen, a rested Aamir, shadab,hasan and nawaz. No respite or easy bowler to target.

Bus karde bhai

 

[theariezman]

need 5 overs 40 atleast

 

[imshally81]

Risky shot... 2 runs

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sarfraz needs to target Jadega now.

 

[Asif321]

Outfield is slow bowl doesn’t race away

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good running by Sarfaraz

 

[alized]

Asif Ali and Fakhar now have the battle for the opening slot.
