[PICTURES] Punjab beat Sindh by 5 wickets and qualify for the final of Pakistan Cup

[#GreenRoars]

Who will face KPK in final?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Does anyone know how many over Punjab need to chase this in?

Sorry to say but sarfraz has to think what he want. Win or yarian

 

[mhraja]

What is the target for the qualification ?

 

[Pete Rose]

I just had a look at cricinfo on fawad alam's innings. Wasn't he supposed to be a great strike rotator vs. spin? Or are we putting this down to preserving wickets?

 

[mhraja]

Fawad lost Sindh their last match as well.

 

[Anis10]

Hope Saif Badar And Malik bat 3 and 4

The crowd need a bit of exicetment

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

why does everyone blame the guy who actually scored like half of the runs?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sorry to say but sarfraz has to think what he want. Win or yarian

He benched his best friend aka Anu darling.

Should've benched Maqsood as well for Saad Ali.

 

[Syed1]

I hope Amir dismisses Butt early.

 

[MMHS]

I am calculating without excel, & not sure about how they are going to calculate the DWL match of Sindh; but approximately, Punjab need to win this inside 38 overs. Baluchistan's NRR is already negative, therefore they are already out.

Miah Malik is likely to get another shot at a domestic title........

Yes manhood should be dropped. Captain has to be ruthless

 

[Sarfarazian92]

35.2 overs is the max Punjab can use up if they wanna qualify.

Winning inside 38 overs shouldn't be a problem. Let's go Punjab my home province!!!

35.2 it is exactly, thats a RR of 4.49, shouldn't be a problem.

Fawad was dropped on 19 this is why he went this far.

He would have been out on 19 of 43 balls had it not been the drop catch.

Misbah 3.5 for sure. Flawed Alam should be his name.

 

[Abdullah]

Right here goes...

 

[Abdullah]

I want the stumps uprooted and a big celebration!!!

 

[Syed1]

35.2 it is exactly, thats a RR of 4.49, shouldn't be a problem.

The rate at which their openers are batting at the moment a RR of 4.49 seems like a tough ask.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Misbah 3.5 for sure. Flawed Alam should be his name.

Yes I agree but in UAE tests he will average 50 +

Starts with a bumper -nice

 

[Syed1]

First ball to Butt from Amir - a bouncer

Nice!!!!

 

[Syed1]

Hostile bowling. Thank you Sarfaraz for the byes

 

[Abdullah]

Nice bowling by Amir here- seems like he is really going after butt

 

[Syed1]

Woah three bouncers in the over. Loving this hostility from Amir

 

[Syed1]

Ducking like a coward.

Good chin music from Amir

 

[asyed]

lol, Amir wants to hit Butt. Love it

 

[asyed]

SK looks toothless in this tournament.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Out kar Amirrrrr

 

[Syed1]

Masood 0 off 10. Wow awesome team selection by best mind

 

[Syed1]

Amir ko khela hi nahi ja raha Butt se

 

[haroon91]

Salman Butt showing good technique against pace

 

[Anchorman]

Punjab have done well blunting the new ball. This score will be a cakewalk if they can get to 50/0 in 15 overs.

 

[Syed1]

Amir 3 overs 2 maidens 1 run..

Wow

 

[Anchorman]

Shan desperate to get off the mark.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Sohail Khan bowling rubbish

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Wicket khappe

 

[Anchorman]

Amir ko khela hi nahi ja raha Butt se

I know you're desparate to see Amir destroy Butt but so far Salman has looked solid against him.

He's not scoring runs off him but Amir hasn't looked like getting him out either.

Still time for your wish to come true though, brother.

 

[Anchorman]

Punjab are not even looking to score off Amir. They know if they can survive his spell, there are plenty of bowlers that they can cash in on.

Fair play to Amir as well who hasn't given them an inch.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

lucky Masood

 

[Yanna_Rascala]

Masood is a joker. Cannot believe people want him to be in our test team.

 

[asyed]

Shan shows again why he should be nowhere near the limited over side.

 

[Anchorman]

Amir taunting Shan. Absolutely hilarious. )

Amir bowled a bouncer. Shan top edged it for 4. Amir went up to him and clapped while saying "Shot!"

[mhraja]

Doesn't look like Punjab are interested in qualifying

 

[Anchorman]

Masood with a cracking response. This time pulls Amir for 4 with authority.

misfield !!!!

 

[Anchorman]

Huh? They've gone through the new ball unscathed and if they have wickets in hand, the run-rate won't be a problem.

Again, if they get to 55/0 in 15 overs, then they would just need 104 from 122 balls with 10 wickets in hand which won't be a problem.

 

[Anchorman]

misfield !!!!

Still pulled him with authority.

 

[Syed1]

8 over hogaye hain koi wicket nahi mil rahi kuch aur karo.. nahi wohi dehati mentality ke pehlay 12 over do hi bowler karain gaye.

Batain karwalo issay kaptani tou hoti nahi..

I lol'd at Dehati mentality. Brilliant.

And here we go, another over from Sohail.

You know things are bad when Salman "Safety First" Butt decides that the bowler is so harmless that he can charge down the wicket and smash him through the covers.

Take a bow, Sohail Khan. A new low!

 

[MMHS]

Mian Malik is doing fine - 100/1 in 26 overs, then run a ball ~60.

3 of the smartest guy in PAK Cricket (Shaan is the 3rd one) are in Punjab team - I think, they 'll target 32 overs to close this @ 5.

 

[Anchorman]

I think Sohail Khan's ultimate dream as a bowler is to one day bowl a delivery so slow that it fails to reach the other end.

 

[Anchorman]

Bilal Asif into the attack. Salman and Shan will milk him into oblivion.

 

[Anchorman]

Sindh look defeated.

 

[Anchorman]

Shan with a beautiful sweep for 4. He has been impressive tonight.

 

[Anchorman]

Butt lofts a slog sweep for 4.

As predicted, Bilal is getting mauled.

60/0. 13 overs.

 

[Brilliance]

So Punjab is going to qualify . 159 of 33 overs is not difficult rather easy.

 

[Anchorman]

After a slow start (initial 5 overs), the strike rotation between this pair has been commendable.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bilal asif is such a pointless cricketer.

 

[asyed]

A lot resembles in between Pakistani and Sindh bowling attack.

Only one bowler looked threatening - Amir.

You play him with caution then match is yours to lose.

All others make iota of difference. Amir bowled exceptional first spell, but look what Sohail Khan did from the other end.

Fast bowlers hunt in pairs. Gone are those days when a bowler use to get 10fer and win games single handedly (At least I haven't seen it in a while).

Amir need support from other end to restrict opposition. I hope Hassan/Yamin, Amad and Asghar can make national team.

 

[MMHS]

Is the entry free? It's almost full house today.

 

[haroon91]

Good running b/w these two in this heat

Welcome back man..

 

[MMHS]

Bilal asif is such a pointless cricketer.

And he was debuted at almost 35 ........... I don't know, apart from that 1 slogged hundred, what else he had done - domestic figures are poor & there was 1 other off-spin all-rounders in that team.

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Is PTV sports available in Bangladesh?

Pcb makes some random decision .. Some seasoned domestic pros have never even been picked for A tours and they pick guys like ansar , bilal asif and shinwari for the national team

Spot on. This is why when people were clamoring about Punjab's slow start, I was quick to point out that they only have Amir to worry about then they can milk the rest of the bowling attack.

This is exactly what happened. After Amir finished his spell, this pair has kicked on and gone on to put up their most impressive partnership to date.

75/0 in 15 overs.

 

[asyed]

How can you be so naive

Is watching game on TV only way these days

75/0 (15) Drinks break.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its good to see people turning up in numbers to enjoy a domestic 50 overs game.

And this is what other teams do against us at internal stage. Just see off Amir and you're good. Because other bowlers, including spinners are impotent.

And then Amir comes back for his 2nd spell, they're well settled.

 

[asyed]

He was deceived by your venue

 

[Uzair Gooner]

why would anyone bother to stream a foreign low quality domestic tournament?

 

[Anchorman]

Goddamn! My life is a lie!!

Been here since ages and always thought you lived in Bangladesh!

 

[MMHS]

Shaan is probably the fittest cricketer in Pakistan. His fundamentals are excellent - the way he was turning & holding his bat during that quick double - perfect; hardly ever seen from PAK players.
