***Official***Match #22- Pakistan vs Afghanistan- October 23rd-Chennai (D/N)

[Silver Silva]

Afghanistan need to realise what's happening here they can't afford to go into their shell now , a 120 in 20 overs game Pakistan can still win ..they need to bat more aggressively I feel , I would honestly consider a batting promotion from Rashid Khan cause Shahidi doesn't seem to understand tempo batting.

This on 'X' just now.
Afghanistan could effectively kill off the 50 over World Cup with a win today. Barring something wildly out of the ordinary, it would almost confirm the semi finalists a long way out and interest will flatline
Is this true? Presumably the tweet refers to India, NZ, SA and Australia or Afghanistan?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He's treating Usama like a club bowler

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Even worse than fixers like Salman Butt ?

Probably yeah. Butt lead Pakistan to first Test win against Aus in 15 years.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

How is usama in this squad?

Nah they’re going along real nicely now at like 5.5 an over with the odd boundary. No need for dumb risks that exposes the lower order

Not at all. Except for the Dutch, all the other teams are still in with a chance.

What’s all the more surprising is that there is no dew, and still Afg are acing it so easily

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Commentators are absolutely brutal on pakistan today and rightly so

It's becoming clear that this wasn't a 280 wicket, Pakistan are probably 50 light.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Any other team and I'd say they'd probably cruise home but Afghanistan still don't really know how to win convincingly imo.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

I'm sensing a Afg collapse. Pak to win by 30-40 runs.

 

[Silver Silva]

Game on , bowl is reversing for Pakistan

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Ffs, they shouldn’t send in Shahidi now

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah this is going to be a collapse. Ibrahim was going nowhere. Afghanistan are really stuck here.

 

[loterry1994]

Please don’t choke this like the Asia cup match. That shot just wasn’t needed the game and run rate we’re in control

I swear sometimes his glasses are like 3D

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

1 should bring two here. Put the pressure on these batsmen.
