Not a long turn over ahead of the next game. I would keep the same team but Shehzad is in his last chance saloon now.
 
Wow two games back to back... what did we ever do to get this lucky?
 
Everyone knows how the game will be played out.

If Pak bat first

Pak - 160/6
Lanka - 80 ao


If Lanka bat first
Lanka - 95 ao
Pak - 101/2 in 17 overs.
 
These pitches are so bad to score quick runs on, it becomes horrible to watch.
 
Want to see good performances from Sarfraz, Imad, Faheem and Shadab with the bat.
 
Hopefully we win tomorrow, so we can try out amir yamin and umer amin. But knowing sarfraz he will play his friend nawaz.
 
Nawaz is a good bowler. Good spinner of the ball. Would be a great replacement for Hafeez when he retires. Nawaz can bat superbly as well. Nawaz/Shadab will be a killer spinner pair... is Nawaz a Leggie or offie?

O yaar :afridi

“Nawaz is a good bowler” but you don’t know what type of spin he bowls :facepalm:

Nawaz is the epitome of mediocrity. He can bat as well as Anwar Ali and Sohail Tanvir and that should tell you a lot. But I can definitely see Nawaz getting a game ahead of Yamin. Yamin has been performing non-stop but he doesn't get a chance in the team...
 
We can give Yamin a try. But we have to see Nawaz first.

Imad/Nawaz/Shadab/Hafeez/Shoaib
Hasan/Faheem/Yamin/Shinwari/Amir

Pick 8 from above.
 
Selfie should play all matches
Shezzy playing from Lankan side with his amazing strike rate to make games more interesting
unless it will be hell of boring one sided affair
 
140 is a winning score at abu dhabi. Even 125 will be hard to chase. Hands down the worst pitch for t20 cricket in the entire world.
 
not thinking too many changes may be amir in if he is 100% fit. Ahmad is too boring, making a t20 looks like a test match. May be he is a genius.
 
Hope Yamin gets this game, a new opening combination is tested and Pakistan bat first. Likely, Nawaz will play whoever he replaces in the lower order of the XI by Sarfraz-Arthur, decision will be criticized. Malik/Hafeez need to be rested. Selfie Shehzad needs to be removed.
 
Need to rest Hasan Ali. He's played too much cricket in the last couple of months and if this keeps up, it is an injury waiting to happen.
 
Would love to see Amin get a chance at top of the innings but knowing its Sarfraz we are more likely to see Nawaz get a game in place of Hasan Ali tomorrow.
 
ANOTHER game in Abu Dhabi, cannot wait until we're out of there. At least in Lahore the pitches ensure that batsmen can hit through the line of the ball.

On these wickets offering such little pace and carry, its difficult for batsmen to score fluently and time the ball.
 
If amir is fit then back amir in playing eleven

Todays eleven should be like that mohd hafeez fakhar zaman babar azam shoaib malik sarfaraz ahmad aamir yamin faheem ashraf shadab khan hassan ali mohd amir usman shanwari how many are agree with me and t20 is game of allrounders

I'd play him today and if we win, rest him for the dead rubber on Sunday.

Not Given up hope? I can't believe this is even being discussed. Fakhar is absolutely fine. He is doing exactly what is required. His game is such that ge will score 20s many times but will ensure Pakistan gets off to a good start.
 
1.Fakhar Zaman
2.Babar Azam
3.Safraz Ahmed
4.Shoaib Malik
5.Aamer Yamin
6. Fahim Ashraf
7. Muhammad Hafeez
8. Muhammad Nawaz
9. Shadab Khan
10. Hassan Ali
11. Usman Shinwari
 
Hasan Ali should be rested. We can fly in our u19 side or women's team and they would still beat these Sri Lankan no-hopers.


Hoping Amin gets a game.



Would be funny having a Fahim, Yamin and Amin in the same side.
