West Indies v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Providence | April 11, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Haz95]

I think there already is one in the squad. I think Kamran might be dropped and replaced with Umar and Fakher will open with Hafeez.

That's one Akmal who's proven to be about as useful as chewing gum on ones left shoe, any more you want to suggest?

 

[Justcrazy]

80 more runs required.

 

[super hitter]

Maliks slowest innings after his comeback but the spinners have been spinning it massively

 

[MMHS]

Fakhar won't last a full over as opener in UK. Ahmed had a 85/100 season in List A - you have seen him here. Fakrah is 48/88 - you have to imagine....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez has turned it around for himself , i think hafeez took holders swearing a little too personal.


Still he needs to start well in every innings , you cant be 30 off 50 and then hope to recover later everytime.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shadab could have been promoted here .

 

[IMMY69]

Maliks slowest innings after his comeback but the spinners have been spinning it massively

Slow is fine. As long as he gets us over the line

 

[Hasan Cheema]

a wicket here and all hard work will be gone

 

[IMMY69]

a wicket here and all hard work will be gone

Wicket here and it will be 70/30 to Windies

 

[MMHS]

Shadab could have been promoted here .

No, kid is low in confidence today. Already a bad day in field has cost Kakmal's glorious career with bat ......

 

[IMMY69]

Safraz is such a good player of spin.
Let's see if he can get a nice 35/40 runs to see us home

 

[Arsalan Pro]

4 by Sarfraz.

 

[Syed1]

Wicket here and it will be 70/30 to Windies

You are underestimating Imad. He is good enough to see this through, the required rate is only 4 rpo and 70 odd runs are required.

Shadab is no mug with the bat. Heck even Amir and Hasan can knock it around for singles.

 

[super hitter]

Hafeez will be the MoS

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Safraz is such a good player of spin.
Let's see if he can get a nice 35/40 runs to see us home

I hope he gets a fifty not out.

 

[IMMY69]

50 up for Malik.
Now see us home

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Fifty for Malik.

 

[IMMY69]

You are underestimating Imad. He is good enough to see this through, the required rate is only 4 rpo and 70 odd runs are required.

I've seen enough disasters from similar positions.. from Pakistan teams that had far better players...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good running.

 

[Justcrazy]

66 more runs required

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Sharp turn.

 

[super hitter]

now what was that, went to his home man

 

[Justcrazy]

Other big teams would have crushed this WI team , pakistan is just about managing to win here.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Through everyone.

 

[Syed1]

I've seen enough disasters from similar positions.. from Pakistan teams that had far better players...

As long as Malik is there we still have hope even if Junaid Khan is on the other end.


The best chaser in Pakistan.

 

[IMMY69]

Wicket is playing tricks now too.

One wicket oils easily lead to two or three.

Still 60/40 to Pakistan

 

[MRSN]

Fakhar won't last a full over as opener in UK. Ahmed had a 85/100 season in List A - you have seen him here. Fakrah is 48/88 - you have to imagine....

Yeah not sure if he belongs to this stage but he is in the squad..with Kami failing he is most likely to play CT. Don't think Inzi will pick another opener with Fakher in the squad.

 

[MRSN]

Wicket is playing tricks now too.

One wicket oils easily lead to two or three.

Still 60/40 to Pakistan

Ab tu 65 kar de bhai..)

 

[IMMY69]

As long as Malik is there we still have hope even if Junaid Khan is on the other end.


The best chaser in Pakistan.

I forgot Junaid was playing. My bad

 

[IMMY69]

Ab tu 65 kar de bhai..)

If we get to 180 without any further losses

 

[mon858]

nurse injected some life in this game.

if gets 2 killer blows of sarfi and malik game over.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

173/4 in 35.

 

[Justcrazy]

61 from 15 overs

 

[MRSN]

I forgot Junaid was playing. My bad

Even if you bowl him a juicy fulltoss he would still find a way to get out.

 

[super hitter]

Malik playing a Misbah here

 

[Haz95]

People talk about other teams vs Windies here, I highly doubt they'd be able to score on these slow and low wickets. Todays FTBs would get out after slogging a few or will play at 80ish strike rate at best.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

These 2 taking easy singles.

 

[IMMY69]

65-35 in favour of Pakistan

 

[Syed1]

If we get to 180 without any further losses ��

Ok 180/4 make it 65 now

 

[Arsalan Pro]

4 by Malik.

 

[mon858]

Nurse getting a taste of his own medicine from Malik.

 

[Syed1]

People disregarding Pak so easily. IIRC even Aus and SA dropped one or two matches when they played the Windies in a tri-series here last year.

 

[IMMY69]

Even if you bowl him a juicy fulltoss he would still find a way to get out.

That's his one weakness. The juicy full toss.
All others get despatched

Sorry are we talking about his batting or bowling

 

[imshally81]

 

[Barragan]

Beautiful placement by Shobby

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Another 4.

 

[On_the_up]

Good inns by Sarfaraz, just ticking the scoreboard over without any fuss.

 

[IMMY69]

70/30 to Pakistan

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan best batting pair in the middle...

 

[Belawal2014]

People disregarding Pak so easily. IIRC even Aus and SA dropped one or two matches when they played the Windies in a tri-series here last year.

Different pitches then, though the one we're playing on today is the most similar.

 

[Syed1]

Single double karna aek liyay bachon ka khel hai

 

[Justcrazy]

malik guiding Pakistan home here

 

[Arsalan Pro]

People disregarding Pak so easily. IIRC even Aus and SA dropped one or two matches when they played the Windies in a tri-series here last year.

South Africa weren't even able to reach the final out of the 3 teams and it was between WI and Aus.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Thats why I always think that Malik and Sarfi should always play maximum overs against spin.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

190/4 in 37.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The best thing about sarfraz is that he does not play any unnecessary dots.

 

[mon858]

this match is so boring now. out of all three the most exciting was first game, even though ended with pain of losing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to just rotate the strike , and avoid any risky shots at this stage,

 

[Syed1]

Thats why I always think that Malik and Sarfi should always play maximum overs against spin.

99% of international captains are better than Holder and they won't keep bowling spinners allowing them to milk at will

 

[On_the_up]

Should be the game now, neither batsman seems in the mood to give it away here.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sarfraz picking up singles & doubles with ease. This is why he needs to play at 5

 

[mon858]

3 matches is a very short time, but I feel pakistan may have been better off with shoaib as captain, sarfi vice captain, sarfi batting at number 4.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Nurse has bowled really well throughout the series and has been unlucky most of the times.

 

[Justcrazy]

39 from 12 overs

 

[Syed1]

Malko needs 32 for his ton and total runs required are 39. Sarfu needs to shut up shop and let the man get a well deserved century

 

[Belawal2014]

99% of international captains are better than Holder and they won't keep bowling spinners allowing them to milk at will

True, against Australia, Starc would be on and Malik and Hafeez, hopping.

 

[Syed1]

Exactly.. and within an over or two heading back to the hut

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

99% of international captains are better than Holder and they won't keep bowling spinners allowing them to milk at will

didnt have many options. He gave himself and Shanon an over but nothing in the pitch for pacers.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Malik looking for a Hundred.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Very close to the outside edge.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good delivery again.

 

[super hitter]

Very close to the outside edge.

after a marathon of low spinnies, that bouncer is something to go for

 

[IMMY69]

Rambo
Leg cutter not off cutter

 

[Arsalan Pro]

198/4 in 39.

 

[Barragan]

Six

 

[Arsalan Pro]

6!!!!

 

[IMMY69]

What was our score at 39 overs in the last match?

Very similar I think if anything we're scoring quicker on this track

 

[super hitter]

Westindies boosting in the last 7 overs could've made the match more interesting at this point

 

[IMMY69]

95/5 in favour Pakistan

 

[Arsalan Pro]

27 of 60 required.
