West Indies (184/5) secure a thrilling 5-wicket victory over Pakistan (171/7) via the DLS method, leveling the series 1-1 with one match remaining

[shaz619]

Thank you Abdullah for yet another painful viewing

He is Babar Azam’s Kabbah, so there are many who are passionate about watching him, fully passionate I may add…

 

[jamie smith fan]

Covers are being removed

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I thought the first game would have been washed out and we got a full game. I thought this match would have little to no interuption as it was sunny whole of yesterday

Still played better than player suffering from downs syndrome

 

[shaz619]

Everybody is not having the best day, except it’s just another day for the two love birds, but again, with the 1960’s tone being set at the top, can’t really scrutinise the rest.

 

[shaz619]

You play like downs syndrome at the top & it becomes contagious, unless he was batting like Virender Sehwag and we’re all mistaken by the re!ard we witnessed

Was talking about rizbar

 

[shaz619]

Was talking about rizbar

Oh I was talking about Abdullah there and his glorious innings to support Saim today

 

[jamie smith fan]

Oh I was talking about Abdullah there and his glorious innings to support Saim today

He is also abnormal.
Should be replaced by azan awais/yasir khan/maaz

 

[jamie smith fan]

Any updates on this game??

 

[jamie smith fan]

Wi need 181 in 35 overs.

 

[Snowflake]

What the hell was Wasim Akram smoking recently?

he demanded Babar’s return in T20is

Shahid Afridi too.

What’s wrong with these jackasses? Why do they want to destroy the team every time it’s starting to find the right track?

Where did he say that?

It’s surprising because he was calling for a complete overhaul of the team after the last WC

 

[Nasty Naz]

Was just about to roast Hasan Ali for his rubbish bowling and then he gets a wicket.

It would be nice if they could bowl in that area consistently instead of always straying leg side and giving away easy runs.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another wicket for Hasan Ali. I don't know how they didn't play at least 3 specialist pacers with all this rain due to happen today. Hopefully the spinners can still be effective.

 

[shaz619]

Shaheen’s peak was shorter then Hassan Ali’s as well

 

[Mamoon]

People like @Mamoon @gazza619 @Caved12 @shah9425 believe this is the truth.

Anything that you vouch for is the opposite of truth.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Carty playing a Rizwan level innings.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Abrar unlucky not to get a wicket in the first over with umpire call but strikes again and gets a big one in Hope.

EDIT: DRS shows it's missing - shocking to be honest.

 

[Rana]

This Saikat guy is a terrible umpire

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

how was that missing? looked dead in real time

 

[batandballbattle]

abrar unlucky twice now, not sure how that's going over though

 

[Rana]

how was that missing? looked dead in real time

Pitch has bounce

Motie pitched Rizwan’s lbw much fuller and it was just about clipping top of off

 

[Nasty Naz]

30-2 after 10 for WI. Run rate over 6 now. A bit more of a squeeze for WI and it will get really tough to chase it down.

 

[Rana]

30-2 after 10 for WI. Run rate over 6 now. A bit more of a squeeze for WI and it will get really tough to chase it down.

They need to keep up with DLS after 20

Don’t leave too much to do

 

[Rana]

Abrar and Nawaz had a chokehold

What was the point of giving Saim an over?

 

[Rana]

Carty doing Farty batting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar and Nawaz had a chokehold

What was the point of giving Saim an over?

Rizzy doesnt like chokehold

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is the rain coming back looks pretty gloomy

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Pitch has bounce

Motie pitched Rizwan’s lbw much fuller and it was just about clipping top of off

and it did nt look out yet given

 

[Rana]

Rizzy doesnt like chokehold

Unless it’s Babar involved

 

[Rana]

What was that celebration by Abrar? Surely you can’t mock an umpire like that?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Abrar finally strikes. Well deserved. Another beautiful google and Carty's Rizwan level inning comes to an end.

 

[AZulfi]

Good going so far

48.3

The only way Pak can win this low-scoring encounter is by bowling the Windies out. Need to strike at regular intervals.

 

[gazza619]

Garbage Carty gets out

 

[Ahmed216]

Pak need Hope to have any hope.
He can anchor this small run chase.

 

[Nasty Naz]

3 overs for Abrar and he's bowled like he should have had a wicket every over.

 

[Rana]

What a ball Sallu

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are favorites to win now.

 

[Rana]

Pak need Hope to have any hope.
He can anchor this small run chase.

Yes he’s anchoring it like Rizwan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another masterstroke from Rizzy bringing Agha on and getting spanked for a 6 first ball.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan are favorites to win now.

Need regular wickets

 

[Rana]

No slip for Rutherford

What’s Rizwan doing???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This over has to go for 15.

 

[Rana]

Ball turning away from left hander

You need wickets…

Where is the slip?

 

[Rana]

Abrar clearly a superior spinner to Sufyan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Part timers giving up 21 runs in their two overs so far. They gotta do a better job to restrict them more than that if they want any chance to defend this.

 

[gazza619]

These are exactly the moments when you need proper bowlers not part time garbage like Agha, M Nawaz & Saim. Pakistan coach needs to stop this obsession of playing garbage allrounders.

Can you suggest a Pakistan XI for us?

 

[gazza619]

Can you suggest a Pakistan XI for us?

Need at least 4 proper bowlers in the XI. Based on current squad in WI that should have been Shaheen, Hasan, Sufiyan & Abrar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This over has to go for 20

Another masterstroke by Rizzy to bring back Shaheen

 

[Nasty Naz]

Elite rubbish level bowling from Shaheen. Great job Shaheen.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Look at that pathetic effort and calibre of fielding from our players. Players that are in their early 20's who field like this...

 

[Rana]

Need at least 4 proper bowlers in the XI. Based on current squad in WI that should have been Shaheen, Hasan, Sufiyan & Abrar

That’s basically



8. Hassan
9. Shaheen
10. Abrar
11. Sufyan

That’s two very poor fielders in the XI too.

Pakistan in big trouble if their top 7 aint up to the mark.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

17 off it

 

[Rana]

Match losing over

Should have brought in Hassan if you wanted a pacer.

 

[Caved12]

Too many bowling changes from Rizwan today which I did not like one bit. In a tight game like this the captain needs to be near perfect with his decision making. Bringing on Saim and Agha at times when wickets were falling was a poor call as that was the moment to keep the pressure on with our premier bowlers. Some of the field placements were also questionable. I expect better from Rizwan and hopefully he will be spot on from here

 

[batandballbattle]

awful from shaheen, keep the spinners on

 

[nish_mate]

Son in law got tonked there...

 

[Abstraction1]

It's disgraceful that these guys can't bowl Yorkers regularly - and when they do, so many are Full-Toss pies.

 

[BDfanforever]

That was a funny drop by Rizwan, and brother Abrar not so fancy footwork in fielding.

 

[Rana]

WI need to be on 92 by 20 for DLS

Should just bowl Abrar and Nawaz out here and make this very hard

 

[AZulfi]

Windies look favourites at the moment

Pak will have to bowl them out / take wickets regularly. Containment simply won't do here.

 

[Rana]

Need a slip Agha

Get one in and play with his mind!!

 

[Rana]

You need a slip!!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Game over for Pakistan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen over ended this match. Horrific bowling.

 

[castortroy]

That's the game done for Pak.

2 very very poor teams here

 

[Fazzy321]

The ground is too small. This total is tailor made for WI batsmen

 

[Rana]

Shaheen over ended this match. Horrific bowling.

Rizwan’s captaincy has been atrocious in the last 4 overs

 

[Rana]

The ground is too small. This total is tailor made for WI batsmen

It feels like MCG when Babar is batting

 

[gazza619]

That’s basically



8. Hassan
9. Shaheen
10. Abrar
11. Sufyan

That’s two very poor fielders in the XI too.

Pakistan in big trouble if their top 7 aint up to the mark.

Yeah lets play fielders then. Whilst fielding is super important, the players should be able to bat and bowl first

 

[batandballbattle]

rutherford taking the game away, some real power on display

 

[gazza619]

WI need to be on 92 by 20 for DLS

Should just bowl Abrar and Nawaz out here and make this very hard

The bowlers have let him down by bowling rubbish. The coach has let him down by rubbish team selection

 

[Rana]

Yeah lets play fielders then. Whilst fielding is super important, the players should be able to bat and bowl first

Well, Abrar just dropped Rutherford

This wicket would have put Pakistan in front on DLS.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen over ended this match. Horrific bowling.

Earlier it was horrific batting from Abdullah and Rizwan.
Now it's the part timers Saim Salman Shaheen

 

[Markhor]

Part timers giving up 21 runs in their two overs so far. They gotta do a better job to restrict them more than that if they want any chance to defend this.

This is what WI failed to do in the first game. They allowed Salman and Saim to bowl 20 economical overs.

 

[batandballbattle]

dropped the danger man, that will probably be costly

 

[Caved12]

Terrible absolutely terrible decisions by Rizwan for bowling Shaheen earlier and then continuing with Agha. Probably losing the game right here. I am done with this game. Garbage stuff overall.

 

[Rana]

Just bowl these two out now

Hope to get ahead on DLS and Rain comes in

 

[Rana]

Massive wicket

This spell by Nawaz and Abrar now will define the game
