💯 percent agree bhai, he needs to learn from miandad about street smartness sometimes I see him, I notice he does not have control over his team like miandad and imran had, even inzamam.



Warna shadab ban jayay captain, I think he can do a good job and he has leadership instinct.

Even Shadab doesn't deserve to be in team the way he bowls these days. He cant even swing the ball.

I hope this won't be a repeat of what happened in the 2017 Champions Trophy where Pakistan lost the group stage game to defeat India in the final.
It's all dependent on how Indian openers play in the first 15 overs. If India doesn't lose any wicket, we can go big. Even in this game, Pakistan bowled really well in the first 10, the only difference was that India seemed more positive and it paid off.

Took bowling after winning the toss. What that has to do with flights???
I think he had the weather in mind. Chasing teams have advantage in rain-affected games because they have a clear target of whatever minimum par score when DLS comes into play. In the 1st game too, India lost 4 wickets under 100.

You were almost spot on. Had the last 2 wickets batted, 200 would have been the margin.
we know our team. the truth is by first 2-3 overs of the match, you pretty much know waht the result is going to be. Except naseem, the rest were happy to loose. Zero motivation. Thery figured they got them out one time and that they will be able to do that again but indian team changed their approach, which frankly was going to happen but those old idiots of pcb didn`t see that happening. only a fool will go into the game with a strategy of a previous game and yet thats exavtly what we did!

Enough of the pulling of chest hairs. IT was one match. Nothing has changed. Pakistan team is still a formidable team and has a superb bowling attack.
The next time they meet the result will certainly not be as one sided as this one
Pakistan I am sure will perform much better the next time they meet

BCCI wanted more revenue by keeping India in play for the Finals.

BCCI promised more money to PCB.

PCB advised the Pak players to lose the match to India.
Indian team is third class team , andhe ke haath me bater aa gayi.

You can see on the faces of the Indian players.

They knew even before the match that they have won.
I think they have setting with babar ji , promised pakistan gold medal.

Pakistan team is best team of the world .

In my opinion, it's because our side is mentally weak. Anything about 275 and they give up. If you have watched the match, when Afridi was beating Rohit, the other Indian opener started going after Afridi which not only caused Afridi to lose his line and length but also drop a catch.

India was able to score 268 from a point where they were 66-4 and where they had lost their top batsmen. If the situation had been reversed, Pakistan would have gotten all out at 160. It's not a matter of talent but of mental toughness and self belief. If the team believed that they are talented enough to score those runs, they would have done it. On the contrary, they all went in their shells which allowed Indian bowlers to excel and dictate terms.
You are right but pakistani bowlers are best in present time .

Babar azam should be given time till world cup

After that he when Pakistan would fail which would definitely happen with Babar captaincy, pcb should remove him and give captaincy to Shaheen in both t20 and odi. Test captaincy should be with Babar for now

Why not try Abrar in the team? He looked fantastic in the flat pitches in test matches. Perhaps he could be good in subcontinent pitches.

Also, Shaheen seems inexperienced and young for national team captaincy. But then there are precedence of young successful captains. Greame Smith started when he was about 22.

Conditions completely changed, swing, spin, under lights, no team can play easy in these conditions.

Drop Rizwan (Play Muhammad Haris), Drop Fakhar Zaman (Play Abdullah Shafiq), Drop Salman Ali Agha (Play Wasim jr),

(Drop Faheem Ashraf Rana) Play Tayyab Tahir (He is a good hitter batter). And give Saud Shakeel a chance.

Induct Imad Wasim and Abrar in the dead and spinning tracks of Indian World Cup 2023.
Drop Rizwan? I agree that he has not been that great in ODI so far but he is the best wicket keeper batter in T20. He'll just love subcontinent pitches I think.

We all have bad days, the weather was frustrating. Naseem Shah has potential, but no one will talk about his bowling two weeks from now.
Naseem Shah is probably the best bowler from Pakistan right now under seaming conditions. Definitely better than Shaheen. Just that he has been very unlucky.

i m happy to see how indian batters reacted after being battered by the pak pace battery in the 1st match (rain abandoned one). pak bowlers were simply unplayable. naseem was brilliant.
in both matches indian batters showed exceptional character.
