This is going to be crucial match for both the teams. Panthers suffered a big 160 runs defeat against the Markhors in their opening match. They bounced back well in their 2nd match of the campaign as they beat the Dolphins by 50 runs. As for the Lions team, they also had an outing to forget as they also lost their match by a big margin, 133 runs to be precise against the Stallions.

Why is it happening so early? Rest of the games were late.
 
Told you Sirajuddin is a good bowler , he is very pacy when he bowls fuller length and can swing it too.
 
Sirajuddin, i am impressed with his ability to swing the ball with pace , he is a raw product and PCB need to develop him
 
Mubasir Khan is nothing more than a tailender against 140k+ bowling he is facing today. shouldn't be playing this champions cup , he doesn't belong in the leagues of big boys.

He's literally been their best batter and bowler. What are you in about?

I think it's more embrassing that a no 7 bowling allrounder is batting better then the supposed next Saeed anwar(Saim ayub)
 
Panthers have a serious problem with their inexperienced top order.
 
I kept telling people Mubashir Khan needs to be brought in and no one listened.

He's a 100× Superior to both Chacha and Shadab. And unlike sheddy who's a fraud batter to hide his crap bowling and same with chacha, Mubashir isn't a fraud. He's clearly a bowling allrounder who can bat but his batting skills are > Chacha and shadab
 
Someone needs to reconsider Haider Ali. It's not like pakistan has a middle order anymore or any options really
 
Mubashir Khan has an Fc Avg of 40, and it clearly shows.

The difference between batters who play FC and prioritise it over frauds like shadab who avoid it, the difference is sky high
 
He can score a 100 here but that doesn’t changes the fact that he is a dud against 140k pacers and good international teams won’t allow him to pass 20 runs in international matches.
Just letting you, good teams will kill any batter from Pakistan. Thank God it's relatively quiet rn on this match thread likely cause it's still early in pakistan but otherwise they'd be a warzone rn.

Bangladesh showed us that literally none of our batters can play Nahid Rana even though his line and length is all over the place because playing anything over 140 makes our batters scared and timid.

People need to stop setting their expectations high. Pakistan is a minnow, from this tournament the likes of kamran ghulam, Usman kham, Mehran mumtaz, Mubashir Khan, Abdul samad and may new fresh faces are performing.

Pakistan shpuld focus on building a team around actual young blood performers rather then crapola players who have no future like shadab, Azam khan, Imam etc.

In international they'll get a beating of their life however given enough time they'll improve but they'll only improve if you actually select your domestic performers and have them perform.

Even in this phatoo tournament the likes of Babar, Abdullah, Imam and Shadab are getting thrashed. Besides Naseem and Chacha, none of our usual mains have done well and all have been poor.
 
This is not the first time, multiple overthrows and dropped catches have occurred in this match by the Lions fielders.

50/4 they were and I think he partnered haider for 150 runs. Has a knack of scoring tough runs.He may have limited hitting ability but surely not a tailender.

Some good knocks in Quaid e azam and crucial partnership with Tayyab in emerging Asia cup final against India.

Most Pakistani batters are duds against accurate 140 kph +

Mubasir is an allrounder . That is too high an expectation of him
 
Very dissapointed with the tail enders here. Someone needs to teach these tail enders that you need to learn to block and atleast rotate strike.

If all hope is lost, just rotate and block, even a few runs on the scorecard is better then slogging and getting out and contributing nothing to the scoreboard.

If someone who can't even hold a bat properly like Hasan Mahmud could do it, you guys should be able to
 
Salman Butt chatting away with Gary Kirsten.

Gary's saying the same that most of us been saying for sometime that Shaheen has been playing consistently over the last few years and has bowled 3 times more than others around the same time.

He's going to be breaking down consistently if that keeps going on and even players need to know that they're of need of rests as they won't be at their best when the team really needs them to step in important games.

Our players are such that they don't want to stay out of the team as they're rather get injured or even if they're carrying a niggle they'll carry on playing as the medical team is a joke in itself too.
 
Gary Kirsten during commentary:

“I saw a scary stat the other day that Shaheen Afridi in the last 18 months has bowled 3 times more overs than any other fast bowler in the world. That’s not good use of your resources. You’re going to wear him down at some point.”
 
People here criticizing senior players based on the performances of new players in this tournament need to remember that scoring runs in domestic competitions like this is not the same as succeeding in international cricket. These same players might struggle at the international level unless their technical deficiencies are addressed through proper coaching and they gain sufficient experience.

We should move away from overhyping players based on one or two performances in domestic or even international matches.

That's a false stat. Gary was told a lie.
 
This Niazi guy will still get more preference over players like Omair bin Yousuf, Huraira, Mubasir

Him and Haseebullah are Misbah boys
 
Usman Khan has kept exceptionally well in the Champions One-Day Cup 2024 so far. Previously, his wicket-keeping had been inconsistent, so it's great to see him showing improvement

Not sure what your point is here? He is not bradman he will get out like most batsmen.
Yeah I guess hes not bradman now, but most guys who fail when trying to play correctly will never get a look in or an approval in the supposedly high standard of cricketers cannot even be themselves

Again not sure what your point is to respond.
 
Pretty sure there are more players getting destroyed in grade II and club cricket like Abdul Samad. The standard of batting in this tournament in horrible to say the least , should have bring new faces in the batting department atleast.

Niazi alongside Mubasir and Haseebullah are nothing players in terms of international level.

i think irfan has potential. he is in his early 20's and is by far, the fittest in the team. Gun fielder. His batting is average, but I have a feeling he can make it if he works hard.

yeah it's sad that the fastest pacers this tournament are:
- Naseem
- Hasnain
- Dahani

And the best spinner so far is.... Zahid Mahmood

No new emerging talent
 
Panthers routed the lions in the clash between the two sides today. Shadab Khan was the Man of the Match
