Champions Trophy Game 5 Group A, Pakistan v India 23/2 1930hrs @ Dubai International Cricket Stadium

[010203]

This match feels so, so soulless.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Pakistan treating this like an ODI in the 1990's.

Or a short test match.

 

[Westend]

This match feels so, so soulless.

Just a net for the Indians

 

[MSB ROYS]

As much as I'd like to see Pakistan beat India it would be better for NZ if they lost as we would just need to beat Bangladesh to make the semi finals.



Yesh it takes the gloss off this match that it isn't played in front of a packed stadium like it should be.

There was a much bigger crowd in Pakistan last night to watch Australia playing England with q better atmosphere.

Agree, that crowd last night was pumping. Really added to the atmosphere.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Double after 30 gives them 258

 

[Moonwatcher]

8 an over from here gives them 290. Actually not a bad platform or strategy.

 

[Moonwatcher]

just a snooze fest this game

A good match if Pakistan bowl well.

I honestly have never understood the Babar Azam hype has he ever played well in really big games or in ICC tournaments??

Ok fair enough, 38 v Australia but only 25 in Australia, that must be why I had that impression as most viewings of him would be here in Australia

You're reading the test stats I'm reading ODI stats.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pakistan will have to win this with the ball.

 

[Moonwatcher]

165 they'd have the Australian side I saw at Adelaide Oval beat.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gotta love when Pakistani batsmen point at each other

WI batsmen are capable of it too.

 

[010203]

Watto would be proud of that review.

 

[Whiskers]

Worst review ever.
Plumb, you ain’t that good Shaheen to immediately review that.

 

[MarcMaverick]

No point reviewing that one,

Pakistan keep losing wickets in clumps and are in danger of being bowled out.

That's a consequence of allowing India to dictate terms and not scoring enough earlier on.

14,000 ODI runs for Kohli. Easily the quickest at 287 innings.
