Our Kohli-less India. All we have to do is take the 2 wickets of high-imact players Zaman and Shoib. The remaining bunch of Sohails, Sarfarazs, Asifs, babars and Imams are not going to hurt us even with thier snail pacing 50s and 60s. These guys are no game changers with their soft runs. And the less we talk about Pakistan's current bolwing stock & fielding, the better it is.. Even without Kohli and our aging Middle order, it's going to be a walk in the park for dominant India.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan should field first if won the toss . It’s easier to chase in Dubai and it gives Pakistan batsmen idea how to go about the batting rather than saying we want to put 280+
One change needed Shadab plays in place of shinwari. Problem is 5th bowler but Harry and malik need to somehow get these 10 overs . Amir shinwari or Junaid won’t cause any problem to indian batting on these tracks so Nawaz with Shadab is good choice
Sarfraz should start batting at 4 from now on get some runs and get back the confidence

 

[blackanhyellow]

India start as favorites for sure.

If Pakistan bat first we have to score 270+ anything below this and India will chase it down easily. This means Fakhar and or Babar will have to play a gem.

If they bowl first, need to restrict India to 220 ish, anything more will be too hard to chase in a pressure match as big as this.

So both options look unlikely, but I am still hoping for Pak to pull through.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Relieved India start off as favourites now. The cocky attitude is back, which is fun to rub in the face when things go wrong for them. The defeatist attitude before the last game from Indian fans was nauseating

You have always displayed the same cocky attitude about India, even before the starting of Asia Cup and I thought you were right about Pakistan's squad analysis to some extent. But after watching their average performances in the last 2 games, I can gladly say that Kolhi-less India starts as a favorite. But I appreciate your anaylisis on Imam's batting performance against Minnows vs big boys. Not many Posters here are understanding your point about his technque, but soon they will.

Bring it on Sunday! Will be here to cheer for our Team and to take criticism even if we fail. Go India Go!

 

[gani999]

It is an India-Pakistan game. Even the outcome of a coin toss is more predictable.

India is as close to bottling as Pakistan is from putting up a champion performance. That's just how these two teams are.

Let's wait till tomorrow evening.

Yes, I'll be the first to admit India start off as favourites tomorrow. The spin bowling attack, with the addition of Jadeja, now looks really potent. However, Pakistan swings from one extreme to the other mate. As you very well know. Bring on Sunday

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If India bat first and manage to score 260, and Pakistan chase the way they did against Afghanistan, I would bet my house that they aren't going to win the match.

Other than that, I can see Pakistan coming out on top, simply because Pakistan is a better team than India in the desert.

 

[Ab Fan]

I think Pakistan will take this and personally I want Pakistan to take this as well.

India's middle order desperately needs a reality check but unfortunately, they have managed to save themselves from that, thanks to some quality bowling and a strong top order.

It is embarrassing that the likes of Jadhav and Rayudu plays in the middle order accompanied by MSD whom I am sure will struggle to chase anything over 300.

Agreed.

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan's body language changes all of a sudden against India. CT 17 was an exception. Pakistanis just lose their ability. Let's see how much Sarfraz talks while keeping wickets because against Afghanistan, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Goes silent against India.
Apart from Malik, others have a mental barrier against India.

 

[austerlitz]

50-50 because we have only 2 batsmen.

 

[Shafi]

Huge difference in batting and bowling abilities between these 2 teams. We have to play really good to beat India.

 

[mayankp.sverige]

india is the better batting and bowling side. they will win

 

[Mp812]

Indian middle order unpredictable

 

[kuskash]

Pak to win by 80-100 runs or 7-8 wkts, no chance whatsoever for India.

Indian bowlers are so overrated you only won cuz out batsmen played stupid shots but that's normal out batsmen tend to do that at the early stage of a tournament and get better as tournament progresses, I will give you this if rohit and Dhawan Fire away will be difficult for Pakistan, but I feel we should get them early this time. kohli is so overrated as well

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

It's India. India to win by 200 runs and 10 wickets.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan by far the favourites especially with that bowling attack with Shaheen. Also chasing 250 in Abu Dhabi was impressive so the batting , even without fakhars contribution, has found some form. Only the catching is a bit shoddy imo. India have no chance especially since Rohit/Dhawan are due failures. Only hope is if KLreplaces that hack Rayudu and produces a miracle. 90-10 Pakistan.

Plz give some discount. Bahot bada packet feka hai!!!

Agreed. Rohit-Dhawan are due failures. Will be back in dressing room in first five overs.

India is a superpower in world cricket.They are the best thing happened to cricket. No team stand chance against this mighty team.

Bhai thoda neeche aa jao. First win by India was a fluke. Pak is too strong, embarrasing loss for India awaiting in few hours.

 

[Mahee]

Pakistan is far superior than India...they will easily win....2-1 to Pakistan

How can kholi be overrated? No sane person rates him/it.

Can't score or chase in final

 

[Hawkeye]

Pakistan will win this one. Just cause they want that revenge and there will be no mental block.

Quality wise we still need to improve a lot. Hafeez could have been the difference, brilliant with the ball and more than decent with the bat here.

 

[Hawkeye]

Well, you're in a minority so you can keep telling that reasoning to yourself. To satisfy your inner self. Even though it's delusional.

He's the best.

Yes, IND will bottle it. Expected in this kind of matches.

 

[WengerOut]

Personally it is a win-win situation for me. If India win, happy for obvious reasons. If we lose, pressure on the non performing mediocres who still lurks in the team.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

India are due a loss and Pakistan will have found their rhythm after that win.

 

[nextover666666]

Your the ones that delusional I am proud to be the minority cuz I can see what he truly is which is overrated and he is not the best not even close lmao

 

[Balthazar]

After watching Pakistan's last match against India, even a team full of youngsters would be able to defeat this weak Pakistan team. We used have this same mental block against great Australian side in the early 2000. I just don't see these players performing to the best of their abilities against the dominant Indian team.

Its a relief words like ‘dominant’ are being used by Indian fan again.

Indian fans making the mistake of predicting how Pakistan will do, again. They never learn.

 

[Shandarchowka]

Pakistan will be back on the field with vengeance. Enough of this rubbish. It's time Indian team is treated with the disdain they deserve.. I hope Zaman can destroy careers of Bumrah and Kuldeep!

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Seamers are not getting any movement + India bowling with three spinners + pakistan dropping best pacer in the world(amir) = India favorites

 

[Abhilash93]

If Pakistan can get Rohit and Dhawan early, then they have a real chance. Rest of the batting has the likes of Rayudu, Karthik and Dhoni. Even Pandya is ruled out by injury & replaced by Jadeja, further weakening the batting.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hafeez is mediocre with the ball when not chucking.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If losing this match means we will win the final then I won't mind. Indian middle order has not been tested much. They should try giving a game to Rahul now. Rayudu and Karthik are not the future. Shouldn't waste too much time on these two. They still play like they are new to cricket sometimes.

 

[Hawkeye]

Hafeez is mediocre with the ball when not chucking.

No, still good enough to trouble batsmen and still better than nobodies like Nawaz. Plus sneaks in a chucked delivery or two when needed.

What was Pandya going to do here anyway? Jadeja is a much better option than him. At least he is a pretty good bowler and knows how to bat. We don't need a player who is a useless bowler and scores only once in 7 innings.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I agree. Really very happy with the inclusion of Jadeja in our LOI setup again, and as brilliant as Pandya when it comes to fielding. I saw how easily the Pak batters were pushing every Pandya's delivery to 1s and 2s in the last match. But Pandya has an upper hand when it comes to batting against Pakistan though. But still, I would go with Jadeja anyday on these pitches.

What do you think of Chahal? Shouldn't we play Khaleel in place of Chahal?

 

[WengerOut]

Pandya might be useless, but people campaigning for Jadeja forget that he was /is a cannon fodder on the flat pitches of England. He was never a good ODI bat as well.

Yes Khaleel should play in place of Chahal because Pakistanis played him and Rashid Khan pretty well. We already have Kuldeep, Jadhav and Jadeja in the line up.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya might be useless, but people campaigning for Jadeja forget that he was /is a cannon fodder on the flat pitches of England. He was never a good ODI bat as well.

I think those who want Jadeja here have already mentioned that Jadeja is a better option than Pandya in these conditons. So at the moment focus is on Asia Cup. If were focussing on World Cup we would not have selected guys like Rayudu and Karthik.

I think selectors have zeroed in on these hacks for WC unfortunately . Utmost one change would be there.

You just admitted the only reason he's good is because he chucks the odd one Why do you guys insist on playing serial chuckers ahead of someone like Zafar is really a mystery

Zafar is a specialist spinner. Hafeez was the best all-rounder in the world, top ICC ranked for several years recently. Was great with the bat even in the champions trophy.

He's a good spinner even without chucking, but well the odd chuck here and there is world class.

 

[Ab Fan]

Will support Pakistan for today's match. The middle order needs to get exposed.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Any team that gets both Rohit and Dhawan out early will fancy its chances to win. No team has been able to do that yet in this tournament which is why our pathetic middle order hasn't been exposed as much.

 

[MenInG]

So can Pakistan win today?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

So can Pakistan win today?

No need to worry Miggy bhai. You are favourites. The question is whether Pakistan should let India leave with their dignity or not?
