Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Harare | 27/8/2013 | Zimbabwe Innings

[Shayan]

245 to win for Zimbabwe

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan will inshaAllah wint this comfortably but the batting order is in a total mess and they need to fix it.
You can't have Haris Sohail batting at 7 or whenever he came. He is a strike rotater and once he is set he starts accelrate, should bat at 3 or 4.

Feel sorry for Sarfraz, he is just not good enough for this Level.

 

[Sam18696]

Will the ball be swinging in Zim innings???

 

[saiyan0312]

misbah unbelievable form continues.... man at age of 39 he is having the time of his life.

 

[Wattoo]

no doubt very poor batting order, Amin & haris should have batted at no. 3,4

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Awesome total in this batting paradise......

 

[Wattoo]

anyway best of luck for pakistan, our bowling attack is good, looking forward to see Zim all out under 200

 

[Ahson8]

Should have got 265-270

 

[Wattoo]

I think pitch is bit slow, batsmen should have come forawrd one step and then they could have hit properly???

 

[Wattoo]

from cricinfo:

Mazher Arshad: "Misbah-ul-Haq (891) now has most ODI runs in year 2013. He has just gone past Kumar Sangakkara, who has 883."

 

[Wattoo]

very strange, Misbah ul haq will probably hit 1000 runs in a ODI calender year at the age of 39+

 

[Bilal7]

InshAllah all our bowlers will get wickets and wrap the Zimbos up for under a hundred.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am hoping for a close finish.

 

[imshally81]

[Alamgeer]

Junaid is a crap bowler. Anwar ali should have played in place of junaid.

 

[Batman]

3 runs taken

 

[saiyan0312]

That guy on TV looks pregnant

with triplets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan will need to take some early wickets here just to dent the zimbos confidence in chasing

8/0 after 3 overs.

 

[Batman]

ZIM | 0/8 in 3 | Need 237 in 47
