who bat @7Pakistan should play 4 pacers. But if Imad stays unfit for this game. I will even think about playing 5 pacers
That's the issue. Shaheen or Naseem has to bat at 7.who bat @7
new york pitch tough for batting. Pakistan play imad @7That's the issue. Shaheen or Naseem has to bat at 7.
Exactly this pitch will suit Pakistan so they are favourite .india only hope is bumrah if he can get two three early wickets then game will be on otherwise i don't see India have any chance against Pakistan pace attack.I think this pitch will suit Pakistan's strengths, provided they play with good game awareness.
This pitch requires quality seam bowling, we have four extremely good pace bowlers.
This pitch requires the top order to take the game deep and let the hitters take over once the ball gets old, our template is exactly that.
We will still find a way to muck it up.
gee whiz...look @ the prices!!!!..T20 World Cup in USA Will be a Disaster if India vs Pakistan Doesn't Sell to a Packed House
India’s first game of the 2024 T20 World Cup vs Ireland in New York was played in front of many empty seats and the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) inflated pricing and a very subdued marketing plan are the prime reasons for it nowhere close to being a full house. While the grand stands were filled, the premium North and South stands of the venue, with prices around $1,000, had no takers. It wasn’t a pleasant broadcast experience too as there were so many vacant seats around the sight screen at both ends.
Unlike the 2023 World Cup in India, official attendance hasn’t been revealed yet for the ongoing T20 World Cup yet but it’s safe to say there were little over 20,000 fans for India’s opening clash. The ones who attended the fixture weren’t happy with the arrangements and the facilities which they got for the price, and global cricket body needs to up its game to ensure a packed house for India vs Pakistan on June 9 at the same venue.
As of June 6, the match is not yet sold out and there are plenty of Diamond Club ($10,000), Corner Clubs ($2,750) and Premium Club Lounge ($2,500) seats still available. These are the same premium seats which had very few takers for the India-Ireland game, where the prices were considerably lower.
The ICC recently released more General Admission tickets for the high-octane clash and if they fail to fill up the stadium, the move to take World Cup to the USA can safely be termed a disaster. Three out of four India group games were scheduled for New York and the organiser’s struggle to bring crowd for these games reiterates why the rushed effort, without a proper plan and meticulous marketing, has backfired.
“A lot depends on India vs Pakistan fixture. ICC will be left embarrassed if they don’t manage to fill up the stadium for the marquee clash. The success of USA leg is majorly dependent on that match and there is now very little time left for the ICC to turn things around. I am sure the top brass will be very worried at the moment,” says an industry source tracking developments.
India vs Pakistan continues to be the hottest cricketing property and the last time these sides met – at the MCG during the 2022 T20 World Cup and Narendra Modi Stadium during the 2023 ODI World Cup – there were over 90,000 and 1,00,000 spectators in the stands respectively.
Not many are bothered about what’s happening in Florida or Dallas while the attention remains on New York. The pitch, outfield and the logistical nightmares at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium have been the talk of the town, and empty seats for India games will only make the chatter get louder.
There has been a lot of activity around tickets for India vs Pakistan on social media and surprisingly, sellers outnumber the buyers. If the trend continues, the stakeholders, most importantly broadcaster Star Sports (linear broadcast) and Disney+ Hotstar (digital broadcast) who have paid a fortune for media rights for the ongoing cycle, will be ready with some tough questions for the global body.

I wonder how many millionaires will opt for those tickets.As of June 6, the match is not yet sold out and there are plenty of Diamond Club ($10,000), Corner Clubs ($2,750) and Premium Club Lounge ($2,500) seats still available. These are the same premium seats which had very few takers for the India-Ireland game, where the prices were considerably lower.
Apart from facing challenging wickets and superior bowlers of PSL, Pakistani players have played in CPL extensively. That will come handy in super 8s.Pakistan players have played 100s of PSL matches on such slow sluggish wickets. While India have played only on roads in IPL. It's experience of playing 100s of matches Vs 1 match against minnows Ireland.
Time to show the world why PSL is the best when it comes to bowling.
I hope the seats go empty. That will teach them a lesson to keep the prices reasonable next time. I wanted to attend the match but the prices made me vomit.I wonder how many millionaires will opt for those tickets.
that conrnered tiger must be laughing in a corner now lolI reckon Pakistan might win this one. The cornered tiger spirit and all that
Tbf, Pakistan tend to always humiliate themselves first before inexplicably making it to finals or winning a trophy (1992, 2003, 2009, 2017, 2022).that conrnered tiger must be laughing in a corner now lol
All part of the plan, we'll lose to the USA, make India relax and them come out all guns blazinglol…I reckon the Indians are more worried now after we lost to USA
We’ve hit rock bottom, surely it can’t get any worse?
Anyone who has Shadab in the playing XI really need their brains checked.
This is the only line up worth taking out on the field.This is now a must win for Pakistan. A defeat means they are virtually out of the tournament.
1. Saim Ayub
2. Babar Azam
3. Usman Khan
4. Mohammed Rizwan
5. Fakhar Zaman (promote him above Rizwan if top 3 make runs).
6. Shadab Khan
7. Imad Wasim
8. Shaheen Shah Afridi
9. Naseem Shah
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Haris Rauf
They always seem to find a way, might get an opportunity to play against PNG or Uganda at some point, maybe even invite them for a tour.lol…I reckon the Indians are more worried now after we lost to USA
We’ve hit rock bottom, surely it can’t get any worse?
How do you drop him when he was your best batsman?
He plays ahead of Ifthikar, Ayub in for Azam…simple.
This inning against such a minnow side isn’t at all impressive. He’s in the team primarily as a bowler. He has now delivered as a bowler for years now. He’s not going to give you runs against legitimate teams.
That’s the bottom line. Just check his stats in the 2023 ODI WC.
No need for bits and pieces players. A full time batsman should replace him.I agree, so you’d keep Ifthikar when he couldn’t score against USA?
Shadab doesn’t have to bowl, he can play as a batsman only and he’ll be more effective than ifthikar.
No one, even mukesh ambani would laugh and consider it a joke.I wonder how many millionaires will opt for those tickets.
Sheddy is a tail ender, he did his custom 40 of 20 this game, he'll fail and flunk the next 8 like he always doesI agree, so you’d keep Ifthikar when he couldn’t score against USA?
Shadab doesn’t have to bowl, he can play as a batsman only and he’ll be more effective than ifthikar.
He is in jail right now. His spirit greatly diminished but not extinguished!that conrnered tiger must be laughing in a corner now lol
I wouldn't buy the $10K ticket even if it is offered to me at a discounted price of $1K.No one, even mukesh ambani would laugh and consider it a joke.
Best seat in the house is your own TV, ain't no one paying 10K for a couple hours in the USA where the crowd is dead.

yea Lot of teams did have their nervy moments. Heck even Australia looked like going nowhere against Oman before Stoinis capitalized on the dropped chance.Honestly - in an ironic way Pakistan at least psychologically is in a cornered (whatever animal you choose) situation. And they cannot sink any lower. The only way has to be up.
T20 is truly the one format where the gulf in the class of teams is minimized because of the extremely limited number of overs and given the hullaballoo over the pitch - that gulf becomes even smaller.
Pakistan has to believe in themselves and give it their absolute 100%.
Exacly that. Even before the tournament started I said Pakistan will lose to India definitely and possibly Ireland. I was thinking they would beat ireland after I saw how Ireland batted. Pakistan was badly shown up as a timid,coward team with no confidence, planning nor leadership. USA opened the exit door and India will lock it. Honestly thy deserve to be knocked out.Pakistan are done. There will be no miracle this time around.
Bowl or bat first there will be a record humiliation carried out that day.
pakistan already have one foot on the plane to go homeImad for Azam is the obvious change.
Maybe even Saim for Iftikhar as well.
But the Pakistan team seems to be in a state of panic, so don't really expect them to win against India considering that ICC is also trying to improve the NY pitch.
Pakistan's best bet now seems to be that somehow Ireland beat USA and we scrape through on NRR by beating Canada and Ireland.
Hopefully the Governments of Pakistan and Uganda can resume cordial relations and we can witness the greatest spectacle on earth with the Ashes between Pakistan and UgandaThey always seem to find a way, might get an opportunity to play against PNG or Uganda at some point, maybe even invite them for a tour.
Dude, give it a rest.The sleeping Tigers got jolted and cornered.
USA does not know what they did. They have woke up a beast
Dude, give it a rest.
The silliest, most childish thing in the history of cricket is this sleeping tiger, wounded tiger poppycock. Whoever buys this nonsense deserves a resounding whack on their hindsides.
It all depends on who performs on the day. On their day even H1B visa holding , IT working part timers can beat Pakistan.
More like Wounded ChawwalsThey are wounded tigers
Even I think Pakistan can win this with 4 pacers on that pitch.Pakistan is more dangerous now after losing to USA. They are wounded tigers .
New York pitch will suit Pakistan Pacers and batters perfectly.

Ind will get exposed but not by pathetic Pak it’s going to be travis head & Cummins again.Even I think Pakistan can win this with 4 pacers on that pitch.

Bro that was the old pakistan team with cricket playersFrom .. pakistan on the day can beat any team... to.. can lose to any team. And they have a leading T20I run scorer in the team!
20% chance , love your optimism .So what do you think Bumrah and Siraj will do this pak batting line up on the new york pitch?
Pak have a 20% chance of winning the game and that's only if they field first
If they lose the toss, you might as well switch of the TV
No my favourite team will expose you, I cannot let your torture end right now.Even I think Pakistan can win this with 4 pacers on that pitch.
