Pakistan tour of England

So far team has done well in the tour matches. two 50 over matches are won by good margins and today the T20 also looks almost done with great margin. Thanks to great knocks by babar azam ( 101 ) and Fakhar ( 52 ) Pk reached 200 . In return so far it is 70/6 . Almost all batters are going good. Our bowlers got some phenti in the 50 over games specially junaid khan and yasir shah.

Lets see how we play against England on 5th

Whats the schedule of ODIs?

5/5 only T20 than from 8th ODI will start 5 ODIS

Best of Luck to Pakistan Team ...

First T20 going on. PK opted to bat and scored 173 runs. They were poised to reach 200 but quick wickets of BAbar and Haris lsot the way.
Lets see if we can defend it or not. Ground looks small at one side and wicket very easy.

and we lost to England due to some ordinary bowling at the end. bowlers cudnot handle the pressure and gave away easy fulltoses .
Batting line up also cud not score 190 which was needed.

Complete lack of penetration from our bowlers. Looked like a batting wicket with high scores.
If this is the best "medium pacers" we got, we won't be progressing much in the WC.
On english conditions if they cant take wickets then its writing on the wall.

When Sarfraz does nothing then its like our batting could not perform well. And when Sarfraz scores once in a blue moon, its like onyl Sarfraz performed, every other failed :D

First T20: I think the batting did well. 174 should have been defended. The bowling was below par. As its cautioned without Amir. Moreover shadab was missing too, big difference. England took advantage of it.

Now 1st ODI: Its a 47 over game announced already and Fakhar out early. Its not going to be so easy for Pak. Good toss to win for England

2nd odi on the way. Our bowling looks toothless. Specifically Yasir shah

English batters set to reach 340 . Unless we remove Morgan.
big ground long batting line up for England. They r not feared of keep playing shots

And buttler scored 2nd fastest 100 . 373 for 3 . All bowlers getting their share of pitai

This wicket looks soo identical to CT final lol. But regardless 374 is a mammoth target. No hopes there. The effort now should be to do the best and if we get over par that'll be amazing

Fakhar in form. Though not very clean hitting by fakhar but managed to stay in. Asif Ali playing good now . He can provide much needed power hitting at the end.

I think it was a great chase. Doesnt matter if they lost by 12 runs. Everyone contributed.

Ofcourse Pakistani bowling was weaker and that was the difference.

Great chase indeed. Asif Ali showing his importance.
lets hope he and fakhar continue the good work.
We missed few big hits from Hassan and faheem. A few more sixes and it was over.
Such defeats where team working hard to get to it is better then where we give up from beginning

Pakistan :jhanda: Good Luck in the upcoming matches!

Very interesting article at Cricinfo about how to accommodate Asif Ali in WC squad. We do need him in the team.

inzi making it difficult but it is easier to drop imam and retain Abid Ali and add Asif Ali in the team. Harish Sohail and fahim Ashraf should consume one spot in playing 11
but I doubt inzi will go this way.
I am sure Abid Ali will not do worse than imam.
