[Ottoman]

SO, 1-1, can be an exciting contest.

 

[Abdul]

Pakistan has lost last fourteen deciders out of fifteen they have played since last twelve years.

Interestingly, the only win was against Zimbabwe; only two years ago.

Today's match will be interesting; which will stand out apart from the other matches in this series.

Interesting encounter it will be.

I hope Babar Azam gets selected over Asad Shafiq.

And Bilal Asif must be given another go. I was impressed with his bowling.

Azhat Ali not playing due to foot infection, Sarfraz is captain

 

[Red Devil]

Azhar not playing today.. Sarfraz captaining.

Interesting. Is Babar playing ?

Now i think he must be playing

 

[#GreenRoars]

Cremer out due to ankle injury, Masakadza dropped

 

[Abdul]

I just hope that Hacksood isn't playing!

Give Bilal another go

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow, Babar Azam not playing , Shezzi in, Yasir dropped. Imad back

 

[Ahson8]

Give Bilal another go

No need to play that hack...

 

[Fantasy]

Babar isn't playing today's game.

Imad Wasim replaces Yasir Shah.

 

[Red Devil]

Nope. Shehzad is back according to PTV

 

[#GreenRoars]

Very unexpected changes

 

[Ahson8]

Man, this sucks. Goodbye everyone, can't bother watching. When hacks like Bilal, and inferior players like Shafiq & Shehzad play ahead of one of the best domestic performers in the country.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dropping Yasir is ridiculous

 

[#GreenRoars]

Seriously, Babar Azam, he performed well in his opening games but still warming the bench. Don't know if you won't give chance to youngsters against Zimbabwe, then when?

 

[Slog]

Lol what the heck.

Very obvious they are not taking this seriously at all and are just experimenting to the max.

Now we have two clueless ODI batsmen in the top order (Shezad, Shafiq) when the hope was neither was going to play.

 

[Hamza_]

Zimbabwe likely to win this one. Our team combinations going out of sorts. Getting in Shafiq, Shehzad and Bilal while dropping Imad in second match and Yasir now

You forgot Asif

 

[ExplicitAI]

No need to play that hack...

He's playing as an opener again ) Sorryyyyy boss

 

[Slog]

You forgot Asif

I would have preferred Imad to replace Asif but dont mind it too much and understand. You really cant discard a guy after his first match

 

[ExplicitAI]

What on earth?! They kept Asad in the XI and dropped Yasir?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yep, that's fair. But feeling sorry for Babar Azam

 

[#GreenRoars]

[MENTION=139202]11ShadyBrothers[/MENTION] bhai Eid Mubarik

 

[Kakar]

Ridiculous stuff.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Ha ha. Shocking changes. But good to see Bilal Asif retained. I was impressed with his bowling.

And it will be interesting to see Sarfaraz's captaincy.

 

[ExplicitAI]

We bat deep all the way to number 10, we need a brisk start from Bilal and no silly shots from the rest.

 

[WC-Passion]

[MENTION=139202]11ShadyBrothers[/MENTION] bhai Eid Mubarik

Half Eid for him, Shafiq is still in the team.

 

[ritzy_123]

Pathetic stuff what was so difficult in selecting team which can completely perform well

1) Ahmed Shahzad
2) Babar Azam
3) Muhammad Hafeez
4) Sarfaraz Ahmed
5) Shoaib Malik
6) Muhammad Rizwan
7) Imad Wasim
8) Aamer Yamin
9) Wahab Riaz
10) Yasir Shah
11) Muhammad Irfan/Rahat Ali

Selected Shahzad as Azhar is injured

 

[Ahson8]

He's playing as an opener again ) Sorryyyyy boss

Allah hi khair kare. Top order of Bilal, Shehzad & Shafiq )

 

[#GreenRoars]

That was a good yorker by Irfan

 

[Abdul]

Half Eid for him, Shafiq is still in the team.

Well. Azhar's not playing so that should make him a bit more happy since he "ended all his support" for Azhar! )

[hussain.r97]

Some really odd changes...

If Azhar is out injured, why did they choose Shehzad again? What's Babar doing on the bench? Also, why is Yasir dropped, and what on earth is Bilal Asif still doing in the team after that awful debut with no record to back up his selection?

 

[ritzy_123]

Good shot for Four..

[Shafi]

Shehzad hack is back and Shafiq play as a preparation for test!!! Anything over 220 will be too hard for us considering so many tuk tuker

Cant blame Azhar as a captain and coach Waqar is pathetic!!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Good delivery

 

[walashi]

Why is tensport starting the stream so late

 

[Pakcricket89]

Why is tensport starting the stream so late

It is beyond me

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to take some early wickets here

 

[ExplicitAI]

Can Yamin bowl outswing?

 

[ExplicitAI]

poor fielding

 

[ExplicitAI]

Irfan has been useless for us since his injuries

 

[marlonbrowndo]

haha irfan is terrible shouldve played rahat. overrated giant who cant bat or move in the field also less skillful than rahat. Shehzad playing instead of babar is just criminal....

 

[Pakcricket89]

Can Yamin bowl outswing?

No he cant

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Asadullah]

Can Yamin bowl outswing?

Not as well as inswing. Bowls almost 5 inswingers in an over

 

[Asadullah]

Chibha is in form, Wahab should be bowling first up

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wickets pls

 

[Asadullah]

Good to see Sarfaraz being proactive

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab is on now

 

[ExplicitAI]

Yeah I kinda realised that

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wickets pls

Only Wahab can take wicket. No expectations from Irfan

 

[imshally81]

Want to see a chase of 300

That would have hurt

 

[ExplicitAI]

Wahab showing aggression already

Its not as easy a wicket as the second game. More cracks on the pitch, will spin more later and would be difficult to chase.

Strange decision to bowl first

 

[Arsal_AK]

Asad is still in the team.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Only Wahab can take wicket. No expectations from Irfan

That's the point

 

[ExplicitAI]

Feel for Wahab who was left in isolation after the 5 wicket haul in Mohali

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good start by Wahab

 

[#GreenRoars]

And as expected, Spinners in now

 

[#GreenRoars]

Not out

 

[Asadullah]

Imad bowling well, the pitch is drifting

 

[dashing_man]

wasn't that out

Want bilal and Imad to pick some wickets on this pitch

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Our top order is so damn mediocre today.

 

[Logical]

Really happy to see Sarfraz leading the side. He truly deserves it.

Probably batsmen were not confident enough opening. Or perhaps they thought bowlers would restrict Zimbabwe to a modest total on a spinning track

 

[Asadullah]

Ball keeping low, it would get more uneven later, poor decision to bowl
