4th June - Group B - India v Pakistan

[Tec15]

He's striking faster than every other batsman so far lmao

And? How does that disprove what I said?

 

[harsh.ag]

Hafeez is being atrocious. Need some Pakistani fans to heap scorn here.

 

[vcs]

Hafeez LOL.

 

[cnerd123]

They need 10 RPO from here and that's assuming no more rain

Shoaib Malik is good but surely he isn't that good

 

[vcs]

It annoys me that they advertise cellphones these days purely for their "selfie"-taking abilities.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Azhar is such a poor player. Just playing dot ball after dot ball. At least rotate the strike if you cant smash it.

Better SR than anyone else in the team, and the only one who seems to be aware of what the target is.

 

[cnerd123]

Only one who put any pressure on the Indian bowing

Let's see what Malik can do

@ vcs -

Are you familiar with facebook, twitter or any social media? They are being smart, targetting the lowest common selling point.

Posting so bad should just be treated as trolling IMO

 

[Tec15]

Ugh. Was counting on rain to bail me out but it wont happen now. Trust this shower to make trash bowers like Pandya look like World beaters.

Azhar gone now. Was 36 of 33 at one stage and finishes on 50 of 65. Can't imagine why Pakistan are ranked 8th.

 

[Niall]

That was a standard Azhar ODI knock, tired hard and much worse Pakistani performances today, but that sort of innings won't do in 2017.

Shezhad less said the better, the loss of Sharjeel has killed this top order.

 

[cnerd123]

I hate Jaddus new look ftr. Liked him much better with the full moustache and beard combo, and longer hair

 

[harsh.ag]

If these two get Pakistan close to victory, it would be one of the top five things in ODI history.

 

[Tec15]

Better SR than anyone else in the team, and the only one who seems to be aware of what the target is.

Yeah, which is why he decelerated from 36 of 33 to 50 of 65. Because he was "aware of what the target is".

Don't mind me, I'm just being a grumpy old bastard

I don't think you're watching the same game Tec15. Go on cricinfo, check the strike rates, balls faces and runs scored by Hafeez and Shehzad and then come and tell me how terrible Azhar is.

Shehzad against India in ICC ODI tournaments
47 off 73 balls (SR 64.38) chasing 301
12 off 22 balls (SR 54.54) chasing 289 in 41 overs.

 

[Tec15]

Pakistan should treat this like a T20 now. 200 in 20 overs is very achievable especially on a pitch like this.

 

[91Jmay]

What a shite run chase. Just closed out the game for India.

India a very impressive unit though.

So which of these T20s do teams start 3 down and chase down 200?
