Scotland v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Edinburgh | June 12th, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Asch Ali]

200 odd is needed from here and Shaheen will clean the entire Scotland team

 

[dauntless]

shaaba malak Saab. He is treat to watch against spinners.

 

[Syed1]

it most certainly is ... this is Malik doing the job, youngsters at this level are a question mark outside of Fakhar who tends to throw it away

Asif and Ashraf are big six hitter

 

[imshally81]

Clever Shot

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Playing Shahzad was Sarfraz and Mickey

 

[Syed1]

Beautiful batting by captain

 

[imshally81]

200 odd is needed from here and Shaheen will clean the entire Scotland team

Shaheen?
is he playing today?

 

[Plumb]

it most certainly is ... this is Malik doing the job, youngsters at this level are a question mark outside of Fakhar who tends to throw it away

How many games youngsters has played so far?... let them settle in.. Malik is in the team since eternity ..

 

[Plumb]

Need 210 here..

 

[Syed1]

What running by oldies

 

[Justcrazy]

86 runs partnership.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik and Sarfraz have redeemed themselves

 

[imshally81]

Beautiful batting by captain

But but but.. He is spineless...

 

[Markhor]

Great running.

 

[Syed1]

Going at nearly 10 rpo.... Pak fans still slitting wrists

 

[zn426]

Malik and Sarfraz have redeemed themselves

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This is Scotland on a batting pitch with short boundaries.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sharif bowling very sharifly

 

[ManFan]

Why is Nawaz playing?

An absolute dud.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This is Scotland on a batting pitch with short boundaries.

I know I'm just pleasing the masses.

 

[troodon]

Sarif is a good bowler.

Scots should not have bowled spinners so many overs.

 

[Syed1]

What a shot

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why is Nawaz playing?

An absolute dud.

It's all fun cricket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bang Sarfraz hits another 6

Pitch is so flat that he's looking like a whirlwind batter

 

[imshally81]

5s 180 in a row... When batting first... Wow

 

[imshally81]

 

[Syed1]

Ayi ayi PTI chants )

 

[Justcrazy]

Malik gone !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 wickets for Evans

 

[Asch Ali]

Asif Ali the pseudo opener walking in....

 

[Plumb]

Asif needs to score some quick boundaries..

 

[imshally81]

Evans is really world class!!!

 

[boomboom6]

Asif and Ashraf are big six hitter

I am talking about our top order ...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get 200

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mueez]

Where are the people who were saying that Sarfraz should be axed as a captain?


I KNOW IT'S JUST SCOTLAND, BUT STILL...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif Ali

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[imshally81]

What a shot..

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz playing a captains knock here

 

[babajee]

Haha Sarfraz

 

[Syed1]

But I thought Pakistan cannot even score 200 against minnows

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow incredible batting from Sarfraz. Good on him, he really needed a game like this.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up for Pakistan

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good innings but should have got 240 with these boundaries.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

200

 

[imshally81]

What a batting by Sarfi

 

[Plumb]

200

 

[Vancricketfan]

good recovery by pak batsmen but still i feel their batting will struggle to score 160 consistently against top teams.

 

[troodon]

Big hitting Sarfraz. Who would have thought.

Some real pop gun bowling going on there.

 

[Markhor]

Fantastic knock from Sarfraz - he really needed this given his recent form.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good innings but should have got 240 with these boundaries.

Scottish boys would do it for you

 

[Justcrazy]

205 is the target

 

[NeVerMind]

Safraz of old...gets us to 200

 

[imshally81]

Good innings but should have got 240 with these boundaries.

Hamesha rootey rahna..

 

[Sirris]

Damn, Sarfaraz can bat. Need to do the same against a better opposition.

 

[coy0607]

good recovery by pak batsmen but still i feel their batting will struggle to score 160 consistently against top teams.

Pakistan become first team ever to get five straight 180+ runs while batting first

 

[imshally81]

Damn, Sarfaraz can bat. Need to do the same against a better opposition.

1 year before.. He did it against SL

 

[NeVerMind]

Saw him live at Lords in 2016 at the ODI when he scored a century...he has it in him, just needs the confidence

 

[Vancricketfan]

But I thought Pakistan cannot even score 200 against minnows

4 or 5 overs ago, you were also wondering.. thats why you did not respond.. now once they get past 200, you have come out. lol. top teams will still dominate this Pak team. batting is nothing spectacular.

 

[another drop catch]

fluke ? ? ?

 

[Vancricketfan]

[The_Odd_One]

Our batting is rubbish. We can't post big scores like other teams.

 

[babajee]

If only Fakhar had fired...

 

[IMMY69]

good recovery by pak batsmen but still i feel their batting will struggle to score 160 consistently against top teams.

We’re the number one team for a reason.
It’s not a fluke

 

[Syed1]

4 or 5 overs ago, you were also wondering.. thats why you did not respond.. now once they get past 200, you have come out. lol. top teams will still dominate this Pak team. batting is nothing spectacular.

I did respond with how this same side scored 200 twice against NZ in NZ in our last series.... maybe you missed that part because it didn't fit your agenda

 

[Vancricketfan]

Pakistan become first team ever to get five straight 180+ runs while batting first

yes against minnows most of those 5 games.

 

[IMMY69]

4 or 5 overs ago, you were also wondering.. thats why you did not respond.. now once they get past 200, you have come out. lol. top teams will still dominate this Pak team. batting is nothing spectacular.

Again, we’re the number one ranked team.

We’re also the holders of the champions trophy...

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

If only Fakhar had fired...

250 pakka tha phir

 

[boomboom6]

hope Asif gets a chance to open with Fakhar tomorrow ...

 

[ArsenalFC]

On such a flat deck with small boundaries this isn't such a great total. It's actually par at best. Embarrassing to see even with our first XI we can't score 230+ against such a gentle attack.

 

[Vancricketfan]

We’re the number one team for a reason.
It’s not a fluke

without playing top teams like Ind, Aus, Eng and SA.
