Who got the lucky break at Leeds today? Pakistan or England

[The Bald Eagle]

It indeed was a rainy day as fans looked dejected to see the game being called off an hour before the actual time.

But the big question is who got the lucky break? Was it the Babar XI or Buttler XI who were rescued from a certain defeat today by the incessant rain?

Share your thought guys

Hard to pull these sides apart by any metric at the moment so a draw is a fair result

There is nothing called lucky break. Both teams would have loved to play this game as a preparation for upcoming WT20

Poll added guys

More importantly Pakistan as they don't have any warm up game before WC either

This isn't a world cup game lol, it's a tour, who cares?

 

[FearlessRoar]

100 % Pakistan XI

Only they could have saved Pakistan like they were saved today

You never know bro, Rizwan may have scored another half century here

Pakistan were definitely the lucky ones here. Prevents us from going into the world cup with a 4-0 whitewash.
We lost a match against Ireland and looked average in the other 2 games. There is no way we are winning this series.
However, as I mentioned on the other thread, we do better in world cups especially t20s so I wouldn't be disheartened. As long as we don't lose to Ireland and get knocked out in the first round (which is a very pakistani thing to do) I would back us to gain momentum and make it to the semis.

Yes, he was the reason why Netherlands knocked out South Africa too in 2022

 

[Barragan]

This will be harmful for both sides.

At least the Saturday game should be fine.

The 3rd T20I is also looking bleak.

lol...he is a religious man may be he prayed all night for that result

I think Shadab Khan was lucky enough not to get exposed again tonight.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lucky break for England. Which bowling lineup can stand up to the combined talent of Babar, Rizwan, Azam, Saim, Chacha, Shadab?

 

[gazza619]

Only one guy got lucky and that is Azam Khan.

Damn Australia must be so happy Pakistan is not in their group. Lucky them.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Azam didn't drop any catches. Good sign for the WC.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I think PCT need to apologize Hasan Ali as they released him earlier and his curse (badd dua) got them later. May be it wasn't the rain but his cries that were falling today.

 

[Master Blaster]

The street fast food vendors outside the stadium got lucky.
Bobby, Azam and co got whole day to go on a food marathon making these vendors work overtime.

No you are wrong as they missed a big pay day today without the great Azam Khan

 

[kingusama92]

England got lucky.

Azam Khan was primed for a 20-ball century.

He would have massacred Archer with his massive hittings.

England spared from RIzwan's merciless onslaught

Jofra Archer’s career is extended for one more game having survived Rizwan

 

[mominsaigol]

People probably shouldn't underestimate azam Khan batting down the order.

He's gotten more confidence and tbf, Mark adair was terrified bowling a wrong line to him, Bobby amd rizzu couldn't really read mark adair, so azam can handle 140 kph bowling.

Short balls might expose him though

 

[BouncerGuy]

England got a lucky escape because both babar and rizwan had got the new bats for the aggressive batting and that bat was wough to blow them out. Lucky Englishmen.

Too bad the rain has caused the bats to sog and lose their mojo. I bet that's the next excuse fir the upcoming game.

 

[followed]

Obviously England. Babar and his friends were gonna decimate England with his singles and doubles.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Jos Buttler on yesterday's wash out:

"We've had a really good couple of days' prep and everyone was really excited for the series,"

"I think just putting the England kit back on and playing cricket in England is amazing. So it's really disappointing today, not to be playing, but three matches still to look forward to,"

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan got lucky in the first game but things look good as far as the weather is concerned for the 2nd t20I game. Not so good for Pakistan though, chances of getting smoked all around the park are way too high.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Today ofcourse it was Rizwan XI
