Spoiler Alert - India vs Pakistan games in Asia cup will be closer than many expect

If I get to see Haris take wicket and have time. I will explain the technical detail to you guys @jnaveen1980 & @Sachin fan in India v Pakistan game
Shaheen is the only one that has the tool to surprise Indian batsmen as he can swing. Even in this match Shaheen is Pakistan's main hope . Yes he is not consisent. But he can occasionally land one good ball. So Pakistan would hope Shaheen making inroads.
 
Rauf can be better bowler. He just does nt have thinking Mind. For Example , Second t20 against Afg.. Both atal and Zadran could nt put him away whenever he bowled hard length that would end at Batters hips.. Moment he started bowling or tried bowling wide yorkers , He was smashed.. and then he gets frustrated and bowls same balls in same areas again thinking result will be different

Remember he had to defend 15 against USA. He was hit for Six on attempted yorker that ended up being low full toss. He did nt learn his lesson , and bowled same ball when 5 Runs were needed on last one. He can be effective bowler if he starts bowling with head on his shoulders
No. He has no skills either. He just bowls fast altenating between slower ball and faster ball.

His ER vs SENA teams. Given that this is the only one format he bowls that is even more pathetic.

vs Australia 9.49
vs England 8.86
vs NZ 8.27
vs SA 11.16

Economy Rate of 8-9 is acceptable for fast bowler who bowls at death. Dnt know what you are talking about

Record vs India in T20Is

Haris Rauf - 7 wickets in 5 matches. 22 average, 8 economy and 16 strike rate.

Shaheen Afridi - 4 wickets in 3 matches, 23 average, 8.5 economy and 18 strike rate.

Haris record is slightly better than Shaheen here even after playing more matches.

But lost atleast two matches due to his death bowling. Once Pandya smacked him for 3 or 4 boundaries in 19th over. Then Kohli smacked him in 19th over. His wickets were coincidental not due to some brilliant bowling. Shaheen on the other hand had some good deliveries against Indians across the format. He won man of the match in one game against India. Not the same with Haris. His stats are inflated due to his middle over bowling at New york where run scoring was very hard
 
Tomorrow we will get the idea of how close it is gonna be... TBH, I think Pakistan is gonna lose badly.
