High full tosses aimed at the head or upper body, mainly due to the ball slipping out of the hand of the bowler.

didnt we have to chase 293 against india last time we were here?

Empty stadium.

Thanks eshan.

Lets Hope The Oppeners can get us off to a good start.
Since Bob has taken over, we have ONLY had 2 partnerships over 35 runs and both of them were against minnows Kenya and Bangladesh.

Time for Hameed to make some runs.
Since making a Ton in the 1st match Bob took over against Bangladesh, Hameed has ONLY passed 40 twice, and again once was against minnows Kenya.

294 is a very good target :k:

A tough target. Game rests in the hands of the openers.

^ Not really. Main hopes are Inzi and Youhana, again. Its a long time since openers won us a match, ab out time though. Good start will definately help.

Pakistan opening with Butt and Hameed.

Considering a big total (294) to chanse, Pakistani operners should make the first priority to take the shine off the ball and 2nd to make runs... :)

14/0.
Ehsan Bhai how come ARY on my TV is showing different programs?

Hameed's catch dropped! Lucky Hameed, it was an easy catch.
