Unless we get the top 3 out quickly India will get 330

[GLORY OF '92]

All 3 are in sublime touch.

I think Yuvi and MS are bit underdone.

If top 3 get in I think it's game over for us.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Jhadav and pandya are no mugs with the bat either, jhadav helped india chase 350+ from 66/4 , we bat deep

you guys can chase with ease as SL did. Indian bowlers looks offcolor in CT

Yes, India bats deep.

So did the Englishmen.

Go team Pakistan!

 

[big_gamer007]

if India chase we are definitely going to win only chance Pakistan has is to put India in to bat first and hope for early wickets and try and restrict us to a low score 260-280.. Then hope and pray someone from your batting line up clicks

 

[ToeCrusher2]

India are no England, our batting is not one dimensional, you won't choke us with spin like england

 

[Shafi]

If we bat first then don't bother to play 2nd innings. We need to win the toss and let India bat first and strict them under 230 then we may have chance other wise we will bottle it as well

 

[geraltofrivia]

English batting is dynamic but not as good as India. India has two ATGs and a slew of very good batsmen.

Bangladesh's biggest mistake was not going with 10 overs of pace at the start. Amir has a strong history against Sharma and was dominating him initially in the first CT match-he just wasn't getting that edge.
Assuming all are healthy, Pakistan's bowling plan needs to be:
10 overs of Amir and Junaid to open.
First change should be Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan.
Rumman Raes should be brought on as needed.
Hasan Ali and Amir should run the death bowling.

 

[bujhee kom]

I fear the final will be more of the same.

 

[Kianig89]

A herculean task awaits us bat first then we have to score 320+ bowl first we should be keeping a 300 chase in mind

If that is the bowling the batting will be so so weak.

 

[IMMY69]

As long as we don't see Sharyar Khan or any other senior official address the team before the game I am confident of a good showing from the lads.

Gold absolute Gold

 

[ToeCrusher2]

I hope we lose the toss and bat first, so there are no excuses and also the match might also be more interesting than usual

But PCB wants a series against India, and then we will have to listen to it's officials..

It will be interesting. Don't worry.

 

[aniket1911]

Let's put it this way, whoever wins the toss will most likely win.

But if India does bat first, they have to follow the usual template to keep wickets in hand and don't do something out of the box.

 

[Sirris]

Agreed!

Nobody wants to hear from some 80 year old guy way past his prime with his glory days of youth behind him.

Instead let me give them a pep talk. Especially a chance to speak with the youngsters. I will fire up the whole dressing room. Though I think captain sarfraz is doing a good job too.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

You sure about that? How about we revisit this post on june 18th?

 

[Itachi]

Don't let us chase. If you do, say bye bye.

Put India bat first. Then we have an exciting match.

While chasing, kohli is in God mode. While Batting first, he is generally bheegi billi.

 

[King Kong]

Whoever bat first and score 300 will win the match. If India score even 280, game on.

 

[captain crook]

will rip them apart. Get ready for some sensational bowling. Mark this post.

 

[Enigma_]

India are red hot favourites going into the match for me. All the pressure is on them. Need to play out of our skins again to win.

 

[hur rizvi]

I hope the match is atleast competetive.

Just fight tooth and nail unlike previous mega battle of Mohali

 

[Bhaijaan]

Not impossible but yes in this form India are entering final as odds on favorites.

 

[Deewana]

I hope the match is atleast competetive.

Just fight tooth and nail unlike previous mega battle of Mohali

It's a big match but no where near the importance the mohali SF had..first of all it was a WC SF CT isn't anywhere near a WC ..secondly match was played in india

 

[Buffet]

Indian batting is due for a failure.

 

[jattafridi]

the way india playing minimum 350 plus

 

[Khwaja]

"Unless we get out the top 3 quickly india will get 330"

WRONG!!

Last year, when the indian top 3 was dismissed for 25/3. India still managed to get 381 !!!!

Pressure works completely in the oppsosite way for India. They thrive under pressure.

 

[pakistani pride]

Just wait till sunday... let them talk. Our boys in green will show it this time around!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Dhoni, yuvi, jhadhav, Pandya, jadeja, ashwin are due a success though, just need 275 to beat pakistan, should be able to manage that much even with the tail

 

[Pak Crescent]

Need india to change their plans and panic.
play Fahim Ashraf, and send him in as a pinch-hitter in middle overs if batting first.

 

[SandyB]

You present bowling team is pretty strong . But even in a 250+ chase, Pakistan will be put under a lot of pressure. So your bowlers need to have another top day like you had VS ENG. Nothing less will do .

 

[hur rizvi]

For you may be not, but CT is a massive tourney. Yes it ain't a WC but certainly it is almost as big as Mohali

 

[Mag101]

Meh, india will win in a very boring match. The more you pay attention to their batting unit and how clinical they are; you'll change your mind about the final. Having said that, with a couple of changes in the middle order, once the champion's trophy has concluded, Pakistan will have a very decent team.

5 bowlers . So six batters ..Interesting
