Sri Lanka (124/5) beat Pakistan (121 all out) by 5 wickets in Match 6 of the Super 4s

[shariqnoor]

Who’s bright idea was it to have him at no.3???

HAHAHA. So whoever bats at Number 3, it's ok for him to play at less than 90 SR?? What logic.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar goes as well... Pathetic

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

They have to send Hassan Ali next

 

[shah_1]

Embarrassing by Babar

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar looks completely out of sorts, unbelievable.

 

[Rana]

“Our team can’t do anything without Babar”

What have we done today with Babar?????!

 

[Vorador]

Babar ka batting career to shuru hotay he khatam hogaya

 

[Marooned]

Babar gone. Never looked like staying.

 

[cricenjoyer]

Nonsense

Who’s bright idea is it to have him bat at 3?!?!!?

Is he coming into the powerplay every match since 2020 when Misbah screwed his career for Rizwan???

Fakhar's career stats as an opener in T20s: averaging 20 with a strike rate of 126. Don't know what's so impressive about that

 

[Shafi]

Probably fakhar has played his last innings of the year at least.

No, him and Hasan will play final plus World Cup without any doubt. Has good connection.

 

[shah_1]

Shan must be saying that I'm better than Babar

 

[imshally81]

Lucky wide

5 runs

 

[msb314]

Thanks for nothing Babar

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Horrible innings by Babar sahab. Should rethink of his batting position.

 

[castortroy]

Just flick the coin and decide the match

The final will be decided by the toss

 

[imranraf]

Allah rahem karey in the finals. Babar is out of form and Fakhar is struggling big time

 

[Markhor]

Babar nowhere near that. Time for our much maligned middle order to step up !

 

[cricenjoyer]

I don't think it's fair to take domestic franchise league performances to seriously, however in this years PSL Babar was horrendous both in terms of average and strike rate. Seems as if he has really been struggling recently to play attacking cricket upfront

Worrying signs

 

[NeVerMind]

Shan must be saying that I'm better than Babar

He should come in for Fakhar... It doesn't even warrant a discussion

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Good good pak they will win the toss and finals now.

 

[Hextro]

What did Rizwan do????

What’s Babar doing??

Riz scored 15 fifties in his last 32 T20 innings. Bobby is in bad form but that doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate Fakhar's effort and consistency. Fakhar's lit this Asia Cup on fire.

 

[Markhor]

This score only looks somewhat respectable because of Sri Lanka's 14 wides

 

[shariqnoor]

About time Kohli comes up with a message for Babar now that "Babar is a world class player. He will be back."

 

[shah_1]

Ifti chacha is another garbage cricketer

 

[Marooned]

We don't even have Naseem's opening burst to look forward to. Boring.

 

[imshally81]

Why iftikhar in the team?

 

[cricenjoyer]

Making De Silva look like Narine

 

[Villager6964]

Fakhar Zaman is not a T20 player. He struggles badly in this format.

He averages 20 as an opener that's just pathetic and his strike rate is even less than 130.

 

[Rana]

Stop scapegoating honest players with no political backing in order to defend those who have power!

Babar and Rizwan are equally guilty as Fakhar!

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is the making of a proper phainta

140-150 will never be enough on this ground, ever.

 

[Ummii]

this happens when you are more interested in discussing Kohli's career rather than concentrating at your own career. Babar was more into cheering up Kohli before and even during the Asia Cup start. This defensive mindset will always hunt Pakistan Cricket Team.

 

[Fazzy321]

Looks like Pakistan gonna lose today

 

[imshally81]

Both batsman are useless

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Negative cricket today. And of the day it is a cricket match they need to stamp their authority

 

[alishahid]

Very ugly from the pak batters. They have to count this as a proper match and not just a warm up. The way iftikar is taking his time and bobby just embarrasing. Fakhar is totally off colors. Kushdil and asif will come and try to whack

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Pak not interested today. They will play well cometh the finals

 

[Ummii]

I am more concerned about our ability to play spin under Saqlain

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ifti chacha enjoying his net session

 

[Marooned]

Ifti chacha playing a gem.

 

[Major]

Come On chacha, we need a 100 here by you

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hmm. This is a tough wicket. Having said Pakistan have been a little short of where they needed to be.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Seems like a 170 plus pitch but Pakistan boring negative mindset. One batsmen needs to go for it

 

[Villager6964]

Srilanka has looked very impressive after that first match.
They are favorites to win this Asia Cup

 

[daytrader]

projected score 128.... we have a platform guys, get a move on

 

[imshally81]

Ugly batting..

 

[shariqnoor]

Rizwan is the glue holding Pakistan together in T20s. Today he came with the mindset of hitting out. Didn't work. And the rest folded as usual.

 

[Rana]

Khushdil as usual playing an ODI innings

 

[imshally81]

Only 2 runs in Last over

 

[Markhor]

I think this is the same pitch used for the India-Afghanistan game to be fair.

But geez this isn't pretty to watch.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Iftikar looks lost

 

[Fazzy321]

Good bowling or just trash batting?

 

[James]

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is the glue holding Pakistan together in T20s. Today he came with the mindset of hitting out. Didn't work. And the rest folded as usual.

He came with a mindset

His incompetency to execute was also exposed

That’s why he will always be unsuccessful whenever he does try to bat like a proper T20 opener

 

[SamNJ]

Today is the day Pakistan middle order proves their worth. They have plenty of overs today to settle and go for their shots.

 

[daytrader]

should've promoted Nawaz today

 

[msb314]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is right. We are a rubbish team atleast when batting first. No game awareness with the usual tuk tuk in the PP.

 

[Ummii]

We are still playing 90s cricket, which will only work on some occasions while playing in UAE, other than that mark my words Bangladesh will even going to destroy us in upcoming T20 worldcup.

 

[shariqnoor]

Imagine Pakistan lost that match to Afghanistan. India would've been in the final.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Usman Chadda]

Both our batters look absolutely lost, not even ONE shot has been middled

 

[Rohan]

Take out 14 wides and they are playing at RR of 5

 

[shah_1]

Minnow level batsmen

 

[cricenjoyer]

This is painful

 

[Marooned]

Can't expect anything from Khushdil. One of the worst players at international level.

 

[Rana]

So is this how they play T20 in KPK? I’m specifically referring to Fakhar, Rizwan, Iftikhar and Khushdil

Take as much time as you like as if you have 300 balls to bat and not 120?

 

[NeVerMind]

Happy Heart goes... More rubbish going back to the hut

 

[Nasty Naz]

They are so laughably poor vs spin.

A team should honestly just use 4 spinners against them. All of them are terrible against it.

 

[SamNJ]

Khushdil falls to a part timer.

 

[imshally81]

Khushdil is useless T20 player

 

[Sherlock]

Ifthikar is genuinely one of the worst players in Pakistan and yet here he is playing a T20 International.

Fakhar, Babar/Rizwan opening pair, Ifthikar and then Kushdil and Asif. Thats a mish-mash batting lineup that isn't consistent in what they want.

There's so many issues in this side its difficult to list them all.

 

[pakrock]

Good practice for final... To lose this match..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Everyone behind Fakhar, I see we have given up on not selecting this terrible hack?

 

[Bilal7]

Not an easy wicket to bat on. Expect another close game. However, Sri Lanka will win this.

 

[Markhor]

Another dreadful outing from Khushdil. Inexcusable to have played him ahead of Haider.

 

[GreenKhan]

No, him and Hasan will play final plus World Cup without any doubt. Has good connection.

Please enlighten us what connections Fakhar has .

 

[ZaidTR]

Come On chacha, we need a 100 here by you

Tuktuk tribute to misbah

 

[Villager6964]

Oh man this khushdil Shah is one of the worst batsman i have ever seen

 

[Major]

Man Pakistan is playing too slow

 

[Marooned]

Khushdil is useless T20 player

He is a useless player in general.

 

[NeVerMind]

Can we fly on Shaan for the final?
