West Indies v Pakistan | 4th T20I | Guyana | 3rd August, 2021 | Pre-match discussion

[MenInG]

So Pakistan cannot lose this series but can they make it 2-0?

XI chosen for the 3rd game looked ok to me as it gave SSA a well deserved rest but will Pakistan bring him back for the final game or continue with a chance for Rauf?

Also given Azam will be ready for selection - will he comeback to replace Maqsood?

 

[Hitman]

What's the weather forecast like?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Not happening. Pakistan will take the series.

What's the weather forecast like?

Looking rather bleak, i read tomorrow was gonna be good late last week. It'll be dry till 10am and then after that wet all day so looks like we are in for a match abandoned/no result.

 

[Fazzy321]

Weather does not look so bad for tomorrow.

View attachment 110852 Weather does not look so bad for tomorrow.

Graphic shows rain from night night till 3:00 PM. Match is for 11:00 AM which falls under this period unfortunately. Lets see how it goes.

Would not be suprised if this rains out tomorrow too

Yep, a 1-0 victory to Pak on the horizon lol. I didn't like how yesterday's match was going for WI. Something tells me Fletcher was eyeing a big score.

More of a holiday than a tour for the T20 squad. The rain has allowed some of our players to rest more than the management has.

Traditionally Windies season ran from Jan until Apr-May( but teams like England and Aus normally toured in March Apr) but the IPL has taken those spots without compensating the Windies board.

Can't do nothing dude. Rain is something that is unavoidable. Might as well grab a tea if you are the Pak team.

Would be wrong to drop Maqsood - so I'd would say bring back SSA and lets win this game and the series.

Shaheen hasn't been impressive. I'd like Arshad Iqbal to get a go and Moqsood in my view should still be retained. He went for a shot last game, any other day that had six written all over it, it was just brilliant fielding by Romario so not gonna knock Moqsood for that.

 

[fight_club]

I don't think this series is grabbing eyeball anymore. I persoanlly wouldn't care. Coming from an Exciting and hard fought series against england this 5 match series was a golden opportunity for Pakistan to find
best combination and try out its bench strength.

Like weather this has been such a damp squib.

 

[Majid Khan]

They might as well compete between Pak and West Indies on a PlayStation - hopefully with a backup power generator , so we don’t get “No Electricity Stoped Play”

 

[TeymurBlake]

I wouldn't be surprised if they go unchanged for the 4th T20I specially with test matches coming up. Shaheen Shah Afridi is definitely one of the two pacers in the line-up for the Test matches.

So don't overload is workload and allow him to miss out the 4th T20I

 

[iniqbal223]

farcical series

What work for Shaheen? He's looked really poor and his figures are starting to become a joke.

Very nice to hear he's doing well now but he's got nothing to look forward to with tomorrow being yet another wash out.

 

[shamaan]

They should go unchanged.
Maqsood should play the last game and shaheen should rest.
Azam Khan should not play as its only 1 game left in the series and a failure in this match will put extreme pressure for him to be dropped for the next series.

I no lol real shame as a 5 match series would have been really good for players to loose thier place and also gain a place for world cup squad

After all that huffing puffing and head injury we still have hope with Azam Khan

whether it's the correct call or not he's in the squad he should be given a reasonable chance.

 

[shaaik]

Another wash-out on the cards.. Raining in Georgetown at the moment and more rain forecasted through out the day as per the weather App..

 

[shamaan]

I have heard reports that their will be extra t20s instead of the first test
