Sultan bowling too short here but not getting punished like he should for it.

Flat and short with the new ball doesn't seem the way to go. You want to let the hardness help it skid and bounce by flighting it imo. No pace on the ball to be milked to the boundary either

ATM I'm feeling like a good Canada win is more likely than a UAE win.

 

[cnerd123]

Poor ball again. UAE haven't started well here.

 

[cnerd123]

Hahahah ****ing awful shot

UAE needed that.

 

[cnerd123]

That ball was so short and wide and yet Kumar nearly nicks it to slip

Pressure telling here imo. Siddique is bowling trash take him off. Time for Mustafa and Ahmed Raza to bowl.

All this arguing on the field does not bode well for UAE

 

[cnerd123]

Sultan isn't really bowling that well either.

 

[cnerd123]

Ireland have officially qualified for direct entry to the WC now. The minute possibility that UAE would bowl Canada out in 5 overs has been eliminated

Good move to bring Mustafa in but that was right in the slot first ball.

 

[cnerd123]

Great start for Canada here. UAE shoulders are already down. Let's go Canada!

 

[cnerd123]

Sultan firing in the darts is so frustrating, given how other spinners have used the new ball to great effect.

He's tossing up a few and looking good when he does it. Just is doing it so rarely. These last two overs from him much better than the first two.

Heh he even did the delay in releasing the ball too. Didn't nab him a wicket tho

 

[cnerd123]

Raza's got good body language on the field I reckon. Tall man too, good for leadership

 

[cnerd123]

Wow that's a brave umpiring decision

Massive there for UAE

**** this is going to be a close game isn't it

I reckon you need UAE to win it tbh. I can't see Canada walking it in 18 overs.

Yea but the way UAE are bowling right now I'm starting to doubt they can defend this in 20 lol

Last 2.3 overs have been much better tho

Zahoor did well to get a hand on that but might have ****ed up his finger here

Why aren't you on 40 ppp yet you n00b

 

[cnerd123]

That's his bowling hand too. Would be surprised if he bowls more than just one more over here.

My favourite.

 

[cnerd123]

Strangle in process here. 14 runs in the last 3 overs. Pace of game has slowed too.

Waheed and Zahoor are like UAE's own dibbly and dobbly

 

[cnerd123]

Raza is probably going to bowl 4 of the last 8 overs himself I reckon. Take the pressure on his own shoulders.
