this batsman should surely bat up the order .. he is very confident and has some good decent strokes
 
Waqar and his jams: "I have seen Thirimanne open a bat before" :)))
 
pretty good captaincy by hafeez so far. Fielding placements seem to be about right.
 
In all fairness, Sami back after two years away probably needs to bowl his last two overs, just to get back in the swing of things. I don't think he'll make the cut, and I don't think he's good enough for international cricket, but when they've selected him, they m ight as well try and play him into form, particularly Ina match situation like this.
 
It is something different to see cricket between Countries, there is no replacement for that
 
Ajmal brought in finally.

About as late as they could possibly do.
 
Terrible. For goodness sake collect at least one clearly shakeel.
 
and ajmal gets a wicket.

No real experienced guys left now. All newbies/bowlers.
 
3 wickets by sohail tanvir or i should say 3 gifts given to pakistan to a fast bowler Summed up the match for pakistan

because its tough for them to score against spinners

99% match is in the bag 1% miracle :)
 
Sangakaara really needs to bat down at four, push chandimal or Thiramanne to three. And push Matthews down to six and slot an inexperienced batsman i.e. chandimal or thiramanne at four.
 
Hafeez has looked very confident today, both as a captain and as a bowler. And that seems to be reflecting onto the rest of the team.

This game is never over..Remember this is Pakistan and chasing has always been a problem for us.
 
TBH, Umar is a better T20 choice than Shakeel, it'll make way for another batsman like Haris Sohail, or Jamshed when he's back. And if Pakistan really want a specialist 'keeper for T20s, then pick Sarfraz or Jamal Anwar.

Although this is Shakeel's debut game, not collecting the ball thrice is over the top.
 
Lets not be too critical of the keeper.. he is excellent in domestic.. first game pressure i guess
