Which team will win the final of the T20I Tri-Series between Australia and Pakistan on 8th July?

[MenInG]

Pakistan by dint of their performance today have shown that they are no pushovers and could easily win the final but will Australia come back with a bang?

 

[Ahsanax]

Pakistan all the way. InShAllah!

 

[hadi123]

Pakistan's confidence will be high, I am backing our boys!

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Insha'Allah our boys will pull through!

Need everyone fully fit and firing!

This Australian T20 Team is all about Finch. You get him out cheaply and you have the Win in your pocket. Even an emerging T20 Team like Afgan can win a match against this Aus C attack. I checked the highlights today and who are these players - Short, Maddison, Carey and Jhye ? And the way that lad Jhye bowled! Gosh! Terrible Wides and short pitch deliveries! Absolutely no control! Where are the likes of Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins, Zampa? And not having Warner & Smith helps too! I tell you this Aus bowling is absolutely rubbish and except Fakhar's batting and Afridi's bowling there's nothing noteworthy! I enjoyed the performances of these 2 lads! Winning a Final against this Aus C team is going to be cakewalk !

Finch, Maxwell, Travis Head, Stoinis, Short are all big hitters...I don't know how you get the impression it's Finch or nothing.

Coming to bowling, Starc hasn't played a T20I since September of 2016. Don't know why Zampa and Cummins are not playing.

Cummin is injured

What has Zampa achieved to be missed here? We are talking about Adam Zampa right?

Maxwell - Very inconsistent (hit or miss)
Head & Stoinis - I have seen a lot of these guys! In fact they are not even in the regular playing 11 of their respective IPL Teams.
Short - I have no clue who this lad is! I never saw any notable performance of this lad in international stage.
Finch - is the only threat! Zim would have ran them close if they got this guy out cheaply!

All the other imp players are missing too. But the 2 deliveries that Afridi boy bowled to Finch and Maxwell were just incredible! I love his action too! Credit goes to him for taking these 2 Batters out cheaply.

I saw the batting of Talat and Harris and wonder why the PP experts were going gaga about these lads. I saw them in both the T20s and these guys couldn't find gaps and couldn't time the ball well and struggling like tailenders. Fakhar's timing was absolutely spot on and loved the way he hammered Stanlake.
Asif Ali : Are you guys really calling him the next Razzak? yes! He has the power, but need to see how he performs against better Teams before calling him the Best finisher after Razzak.

This is NOT a benchmark of how a country selects there respective team. Who cares if they are not first choice selections in the IPL.

Maxwell averages over 33 at a SR of 165 in T20I, these stats definitely show consistency and also shows don't underestimate him. Just because you haven't heard of a player doesn't mean they are a nobody, Short averages 42 at a SR of 148 vs. England and New Zealand. Also, in Australia premier T20 tournament he averages 43 in the BBL at SR of 152.

What are you on about? These players are regular for the team and have been innit since a year or so. Just because you are ignorant doesnt mean these things are facts.

1) The team is not reliant on Finch. It has Maxwell, Maddison etc.

2) Starc hasnt played a t20I since 2016, cummins is injured, zampa dropped

I think he got caught off guard trying to discount Pakistan's win today and the eventual win by calling this regular team as Australia C.

We will fluke it and get humiliated in the process

Dude I don't think you have watched this side in the last tri series against NZ and ENG where they thrashed both teams in all matches it had the same squad almost.

This squad has all star BBL performers and cannot be underrated

You already know.

No one would take the Maxwell threat lightly tbh, yes he has not done well since 2015 WC, but thats just his nature, he can play a blinder anytime.
Head is very well regarded in Australian setup and has already been earmarked as a future captain. Just because he doesn't play regularly for IPL doesnt mean he is not good. I remember, once BRENDON MCCULLUM ONLY GOT TO PLAY A SINGLE MATCH IN WHOLE IPL for KKR as Kallis was preferred to him.

About Short, you probably don't know him cause he just started his career. It was this year's BBL that brought him to limelight. It's his first international series outside Australia, and he also played IPL this year. struggled a bit which is natural for newcomers or fasttracked players.

Stoinis is a very good player and has played very good knocks for Australia in ODI's. The problem with him is that i think he is being typecast for an "allrounder role" ie a no 5-6 batter who can smash it like Watto, Symonds, Anderson and bowl some tidy overs while in reality he is more of a top order batter who is known for constructing innings in domestics. He usually opens or bats at no. 3 or no. 4 for his domestic side.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Stonnis is very very dangerous, I followed a bit of BBL and on one or two occasions he almost pulled off herculean chases all by himself. Pakistan would be foolish to take this Australian team lightly. They are #2 and right at our tails (in rankings) for a reason.

May be he was expecting Smith, Khawaja, Lyon, etc.

The Aussie team that won triseries had Warner and lynn..two of their best..this team is lot weaker without those two

 

[Slim]

He was just attempting to discount Pakistan's win. Poor troll.

 

[Hasan123]

Pakistan should win this.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

I reckon Pakistan will win this.We have the mental edge over them and they were struggling against Zimbabwe.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

They way we played vs Australia was brilliant and the way Australia struggled against Zimbabwe would be shocked if we lose.
