00:00 So, we have Mr. Ali with us in this transmission.
00:03 So, let's start.
00:05 Kamran, you have won the toss and Sri Lanka has decided to bat.
00:09 I think the pressure on Pakistan has been lifted.
00:12 Like they have batted earlier.
00:14 So, now the thing is how to bowl.
00:17 You should not let them run more than 240-250.
00:21 Under light, they can do more than 300.
00:25 But that was the second time. The ball was coming well.
00:28 If they do 300, Pakistan will have a chance to chase.
00:32 The dew is falling.
00:34 Under light is good on bat.
00:36 So, I think the pressure has been released on the Pakistan team.
00:39 It's good that the toss was lost.
00:41 So, let's see how to bowl.
00:43 Now, to the mark, bowl.
00:45 You know batsmen break.
00:47 There have been two matches.
00:49 In both matches, a new ball has been broken.
00:51 So, I think this thing should have been seen.
00:53 In the past matches, the ball was creeping.
00:56 Mahesh Tickshana has come.
00:58 So, it should have been taken advantage of.
01:00 Pakistan's record, as I said, is very good in the World Cup.
01:05 And this time also, it seems that this is the team to beat.
01:08 Because we will defeat them and go to India with confidence.
01:12 How do you see this match?
01:14 You are absolutely right, Najeeb.
01:16 I think Babak gave an interview.
01:19 He said that if he had won the toss, he would have bowled earlier.
01:23 So, it is a must that he and our management also think that a due factor will come.
01:31 If it is a match of 240-250, then we have to make 210-250 runs.
01:37 In due factor, you have an advantage of 30-35 runs.
01:40 If they think that they make 300 runs, then also you have to make 260-270 runs in the second round.
01:47 But I think now it is the job of the bowlers to bring the Pakistan team to a good position.
01:53 So that our batters do not feel any pressure.
01:56 Absolutely right.
01:57 Mr. Shahid, first of all, congratulations on your prediction that Abdullah Shafiq will play instead of Fakhar Zaman.
02:06 That was proved absolutely right.
02:07 And we were also expecting that Tickshana will come there.
02:10 So, how do you see the lineups of both teams and the situation of toss?
02:13 I think the team management must have thought that the last match, Sri Lanka's spinners were played well by Abdullah Shafiq.
02:19 Although, after scoring 50 runs, he got out of the game by hitting a hook shot.
02:22 He should not have lost the wicket.
02:24 This realization should be there for Pakistani players.
02:27 That when you score 50 runs, you should score 100 runs.
02:29 And when you score 100 runs, you should score 100 runs.
02:31 Go up to 150 runs.
02:32 Because whatever 150 runs are scored in one day,
02:34 till date, out of all the 150 runs scored, only 6 teams have lost the match.
02:38 Rest of the teams win the match at 150 runs.
02:40 So, you should go up to 150 runs and score big.
02:43 And Abdullah Shafiq has been given a chance.
02:45 Everyone was saying that Fakhar should have got at least 3 matches.
02:49 But the team management thought something.
02:51 And the change in Tickshana was bound to happen.
02:54 Because Tickshana opens the ball and starts with a new game.
02:58 And Pakistan will have to play carefully.
03:00 They will have to give a wicket when Pakistan will play.
03:03 And as Basit is saying, there will be a dew factor.
03:05 Yesterday, it was very hot in Hyderabad.
03:07 It was 36-37 degrees.
03:08 Today, it is relatively less.
03:10 But this is the thing.
03:12 Stop before 270-280 degrees.
03:14 And win the match.
03:15 Absolutely right.
03:16 Azhar Ali has joined us.
03:18 We will move to him.
03:19 Azhar, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
03:20 Welcome to our transmission.
03:22 Wa-alaikum-salam.
03:24 Thank you so much.
03:25 Azhar, first of all, tell me,
03:27 we are talking about Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
03:30 The format of the World Cup is so tough.
03:33 You have to face every opponent.
03:35 And the top four teams go to the semi-final.
03:39 So, every match is very important.
03:42 What will you say about the importance of today's game?
03:44 Absolutely.
03:47 Even if you see the Netherlands game,
03:49 because you have to play matches with all the teams.
03:52 Even the qualifiers that you have come to,
03:54 if you see, the Netherlands won the World Cup qualifier.
03:58 They have shown that we have not come here to just complete the numbers.
04:02 So, this is not the World Cup.
04:03 And I think this is the best format of the World Cup.
04:06 All the teams go to the semi-final after being tested.
04:08 So, no one can say that the other team got a light pool,
04:12 we got a tough pool.
04:14 Everyone has an equal chance in this.
04:17 So, I think this format is very good.
04:19 But the beauty of this format is that there are a lot of challenges.
04:23 So, I think Sri Lanka is losing the last match easily.
04:27 But we have seen Sri Lanka that on their day,
04:30 if they take a good start, they become a very dangerous side.
04:34 So, I think one thing is good.
04:36 Like I was listening to Kamran bhai,
04:38 he said that he won the toss and decided to bat.
04:41 We have seen in the first match at this venue
04:43 that the ball grips, the fast bowler holds the ball a little.
04:47 So, I think this is the advantage.
04:48 Now you have to pick up the Pakistan's bowlers.
04:50 Any decision of the toss, whether it is right or wrong,
04:53 is proved by your players.
04:55 Your bowlers or batters, whatever you are doing first, they do it.
04:58 So, I think we have to see how we bowl.
05:01 How much pressure we can put on them early on.
05:03 Because it is good to set the tone.
05:05 Okay, because we have been talking about this for the last 1-2 days.
05:08 Mr. Shahid had also given this news.
05:10 We have been talking about this for the last 1-2 days.
05:12 Should Fakhar have been there?
05:14 Should he have been there till the match in India?
05:17 Should the unchanged team have gone?
05:19 Or is this decision of Abdullah Shafiq right?
05:22 What do you think?
05:24 When the head coach said in the press conference that he believes in top order,
05:32 I understood that a lot of things are going to change.
05:35 We often do the opposite of our statements.
05:38 So, that was the opposite.
05:40 But I was expecting this.
05:43 Fakhar Zamara is our match winner player.
05:46 We are very proud of him.
05:50 We need him in the upcoming matches of the World Cup.
05:58 We need to communicate with him that yes, a break is necessary for him.
06:05 Because the pressure was building on him.
06:08 As a batsman, when you don't run and consistently fail,
06:11 you carry a lot of baggage.
06:14 So, I think if we get a break for 2-3 matches,
06:17 and if Fakhar is needed at the end of the tournament,
06:20 then we will start fresh.
06:22 He will get a break.
06:24 So, I think this is a good thing.
06:26 Abdullah is in good form.
06:28 He plays very well against Spain.
06:30 I hope this decision will prove good for Pakistan.
06:33 There is nothing wrong with it.
06:35 No matter how good the player is,
06:37 sometimes a break is necessary for him.
06:39 Let's hear this from Grant Bradburn himself.
06:45 He said that he knows that the batting is not performing well,
06:50 but he has full faith in his players.
06:52 Let's hear what he had to say.
06:54 What will you say about what the head coach said?
06:57 He is the head coach.
06:59 Let's find out who he is.
07:01 Then we will talk.
07:03 Okay, Azad said that sometimes players need a break.
07:08 You had time in Afghanistan, right?
07:11 You could have given a break.
07:12 You had a match against Nepal in Asia Cup.
07:15 You could have given a break.
07:16 You had a match against Netherlands.
07:17 You could have given a break.
07:18 Such players need to be given confidence.
07:20 Sometimes, you say.
07:22 I think Fakhar is not that tough in this World Cup.
07:31 So, it was a good chance for him to get back in form and confidence.
07:36 If you wanted to, you could have given a break in the first match.
07:38 You could have given a rest in the first two or three matches.
07:41 But I don't see any planning.
07:43 It's just that it doesn't happen on the day.
07:47 We don't think about the future.
07:49 We don't think about the teams that will come in the future.
07:52 We don't think about how they are playing Bangladesh,
07:54 how much they have scored against Netherlands, New Zealand and England,
07:57 South Africa.
07:58 We don't plan according to that.
08:00 We don't plan according to the players.
08:01 I think if he had played, it would have been good.
08:04 But Abdullah Shafiq is also a good player.
08:06 He is in good form.
08:07 But you start with Abdullah.
08:09 When there is pressure, Fakhar will be under more pressure.
08:13 He will come.
08:14 He will definitely come.
08:15 He will play.
08:16 I hope he will get over the pressure.
08:17 It is very important for Pakistan.
08:18 He is a match winner player.
08:20 But if you drop him after a match, it is not a good sign for the team.
08:24 Basit, what he said,
08:25 he said it's not about individual performances anymore.
08:28 You have to play for the team.
08:30 On one hand, he says he has full faith in the team.
08:32 On the other hand, this is…
08:34 Before he says anything, I will say one thing.
08:39 Today you gave chance to Abdullah Shafiq.
08:41 Give him two or three matches.
08:43 Don't let him get out of this match.
08:46 And bring Fakhar again in the next match.
08:48 He will go with that kid.
08:50 Give him two or three matches.
08:52 This is the way to make any player.
08:55 If unfortunately, Abdullah Shafiq gets out,
08:59 and then in the match against India,
09:01 if Fakhar is seen,
09:03 it means that the management's thinking is very wrong.
09:07 And he is panicking.
09:08 It means that he is thinking wrong.
09:10 He is not smart.
09:11 And the question you asked about the head coach,
09:15 I will listen to his words and take it out.
09:19 I am sorry, I didn't say it in this sense.
09:22 Because Mickey Arthur is the head coach.
09:24 What he is saying is happening.
09:26 That's it.
09:27 Do you want to add anything?
09:28 The thing about Abdullah Shafiq is that
09:31 the team management will never change after one match.
09:36 God forbid, he performs.
09:38 The pressure is on the other one.
09:39 On the Imam.
09:40 This should be thought.
09:41 Now it is on the Imam.
09:42 Take that responsibility.
09:44 Runs.
09:45 Otherwise, this work can be done on him too.
09:47 Like what happened with Fakhar.
09:48 Okay.
09:49 Shahid sir, the Imam needs nine runs to reach 3000.
09:53 Second fastest.
09:54 Hashim Amla being the fastest.
09:55 He did this in 57 innings.
09:58 But the thing is that
10:01 what is our game plan?
10:03 And do we have a B plan or not?
10:05 No, there are plans.
10:07 But the execution of the plans is not possible.
10:09 You make plans A, B, C.
10:11 There is team management, team meeting.
10:13 The captain tells, the captain talks.
10:16 And the way Fakhar was rested today,
10:18 or you can say dropped.
10:20 This too was a big decision after a lot of thinking.
10:23 And Fakhar was also included in this.
10:26 And you will not be surprised.
10:28 If Abdullah Shafiq makes a run here,
10:31 then you can see Fakhar in the middle order at 4-5.
10:34 This has also happened in team management.
10:36 So, everyone has plans.
10:38 The real thing is execution.
10:39 You win the toss.
10:40 If you don't execute well,
10:42 then the decision of the toss is wrong.
10:43 If you execute well,
10:45 then the decision of the toss is right.
10:47 This is the same pitch that Pakistan had made
10:49 for the Netherlands match.
10:51 Pakistan made 286.
10:53 So, Sri Lanka and Pakistan will have to try
10:55 to stop it from running less.
10:57 I would like to ask Shahid Bhai.
10:59 Yes, of course.
11:00 Shahid Bhai has also said that at 4-5-6,
11:02 you can send Fakhar.
11:04 So, at 4, Rizwan comes.
11:07 At 5, Saud.
11:09 At 6, Iftikhar.
11:11 He will see this somewhere.
11:13 Now you have to try out.
11:15 You have to do something out of the box.
11:16 You have to do bowling too.
11:18 Fakhar has said that he is in the T20 World Cup.
11:20 This can happen when Rizwan goes to Opel,
11:24 which Kamran was saying.
11:26 Then there can be a place below.
11:27 Then why should we play?
11:29 Tell me one thing.
11:30 This is a team of Pakistan.
11:31 This is a club team.
11:32 Exactly.
11:33 If he is not performing there,
11:34 then play at this number.
11:35 If he is not performing here,
11:36 then play at the top.
11:37 Is this for the World Cup?
11:38 The problem is that when you do not do anything
11:40 out of the box, then you say that.
11:41 No, no, no.
11:42 Shahid Bhai, you have to think out of the box.
11:44 Before the event.
11:45 This is not a preparation for the World Cup.
11:48 If we had thought of this before,
11:50 then we would have managed the workload of 4-5 fast bowlers.
11:53 You would have given equal chances to your players.
11:55 We do not have this system.
11:56 One day, we sent Osama Mir to the top.
11:58 We would have sent him to the top on the last day.
12:00 We would have sent him to the top.
12:02 Azhar would have been in this discussion.
12:04 If we had thought of this before,
12:05 then Sarfaaz would have been in the team
12:06 and Shahid Masood would have been in the team.
12:08 If we had thought of this before.
12:09 We did not plan this before.
12:10 Azhar, this has been happening for a long time
12:12 that we did not have a proper planning for this event.
12:16 And I would like to ask you the same thing
12:18 that I was asking Shahid Bhai.
12:20 If we had a plan, then why is it not visible?
12:24 Like we are bowling right now.
12:26 Plan A is that Shaheen will take the wicket in the start.
12:30 If he does not take it, then what will happen?
12:32 The spinners are not able to move in between.
12:33 What do we see in this?
12:35 The question you asked can be the whole program.
12:39 The answer to one question is very long.
12:44 Because if you see,
12:47 we have some responsibility as a nation.
12:51 If we lose a series, then we start the bombardment.
12:55 Our captain, coach, I am also a captain.
12:58 It felt like a sword was hanging on every series.
13:02 We cannot think of the future.
13:05 We are thinking of winning that series.
13:07 I will give an example of a series.
13:09 We played against Afghanistan in PSL.
13:12 We lost that series, but personally,
13:15 losing and winning is a part of cricket.
13:17 But when you send a new team,
13:19 losing does not matter.
13:21 I was very happy that we should test new teams
13:24 in T20 and 50 overs.
13:26 We should test new players.
13:28 So that when the main events come,
13:30 the World Cups come,
13:31 then we have players in the backup.
13:34 If you are playing to win every series,
13:37 which you should play to win,
13:39 but if you are trying new players,
13:42 if you send a new captain on a tour,
13:45 then your pressure is also reduced by the captain.
13:47 Your vision is also seen.
13:49 We are thinking of the future.
13:51 And we should support it.
13:53 I did this on Twitter everywhere.
13:56 I am happy that we are not losing any problem.
13:58 At least we will get 1-2 players from this series.
14:01 So that if we get an injury in fast bowling,
14:04 we get a player.
14:05 If we get an injury in spin, we get a player.
14:07 We get a batter.
14:09 So I think we are lagging here.
14:11 Secondly, both our spinners
14:14 have played 50 overs of the list games.
14:17 In the last 6 months.
14:19 They have not played anything.
14:20 They have no idea how to bowl long.
14:22 They are playing T20 cricket maximum.
14:24 When the 5th fielder comes in,
14:26 your boundary ball is exposed.
14:28 It is not exposed in T20.
14:30 The 5th fielder is behind for the boundary.
14:32 So I think we did not think about this.
14:34 We have played leagues which should be played.
14:37 No doubt.
14:38 But our management should have known
14:40 that the World Cup is coming.
14:42 It is 50 overs.
14:43 Our players are playing 10-10 overs.
14:45 They are not playing spinners.
14:46 Now you see our spin bowling attack.
14:48 At this time,
14:49 potential wise, no doubt they are very good.
14:51 But their bowling at this time
14:53 is all-rounder bowling.
14:55 We do not feel that
14:57 we have a match-winner bowler in the middle.
14:59 That is not showing.
15:01 You need to change that.
15:03 Or you need to improve their performance.
15:05 Absolutely right.
15:06 This is a valid point.
15:08 And we need some patience as a nation.
15:13 People start talking immediately.
15:15 They say, we made Babar sit,
15:17 so this series lost.
15:18 This is not about making him sit.
15:20 This is about testing your bench,
15:22 your youngsters.
15:23 India was doing it.
15:25 People were making fun.
15:26 This series lost, that series lost.
15:28 But now,
15:29 their combination has become very strong in the World Cup.
15:31 We could not do that.
15:33 First, I will come to what Ajji said.
15:35 That 50 overs matches should not be played.
15:39 This is the fault of PCB.
15:41 Why did they not organize 50 overs matches?
15:44 Was there not a World Cup in their planning?
15:46 The fault is of the International Director.
15:50 Why are you allowing them to play T20 matches?
15:54 Did they play domestic?
15:55 This is the first thing.
15:56 And the new team is a good thing.
15:59 But is the new team announced 10 hours before?
16:04 What happened in Afghanistan series.
16:07 When two matches came,
16:08 there was no announcement.
16:09 Why is there no announcement in the World Cup?
16:11 One day before, the team announcement.
16:12 Because it was wrong.
16:14 They have put a wrong trend.
16:17 Because the average people are sitting.
16:19 I am sorry to say,
16:21 the people in the management are average people.
16:24 They do not have the sense of cricket.
16:26 You are telling the opposition,
16:28 that Kamran is playing today.
16:30 So, we will use this ball for him.
16:32 Why don't they do it now?
16:34 When the announcement came,
16:35 when the announcement was made,
16:36 everything was shut down.
16:38 This is not our fault.
16:40 They should have done it.
16:41 Whether it is the Pakistan Cricket Board,
16:43 or the management.
16:44 We have to speak on this.
16:45 Okay, Kaver.
16:46 Azad has raised a valid point.
16:49 We are also saying the same.
16:51 When a captain is made,
16:53 or a team is made,
16:54 you bring the players with a process.
16:57 Then, as a nation, we are happy.
16:59 When you bring a match or two,
17:02 then there is a problem when you lose.
17:04 I said, what Azad said,
17:06 a new team should be sent.
17:07 I said, after the T20 World Cup,
17:09 separate the players for the 50 overs.
17:12 Don't take them to T20.
17:14 Then, if you bring them to the team,
17:17 there is pressure in the 50 overs.
17:19 How many matches have you played?
17:20 The list is one.
17:21 First tell me this.
17:22 How many domestic matches have you played?
17:25 When you select such matches,
17:27 then there is pressure on the players.
17:29 Then they think, as a bowler,
17:31 like Ajju has said,
17:32 five fielders have come in.
17:33 So, where should I bowl?
17:35 You get protection in T20.
17:37 Five fielders are out.
17:38 So, you get mentally prepared at that time,
17:41 when you come with a process from domestic.
17:43 You don't just have to go to the PCB.
17:46 The ground staff of the PCB,
17:48 who are in the field,
17:49 the biggest fault is that,
17:51 the liking players are coming.
17:53 They push the management,
17:55 the chief selector,
17:56 the players come on liking and disliking.
17:58 So, it is their responsibility
18:00 that how to make the pattern,
18:02 then the team will be formed.
18:03 Otherwise, we will keep talking like this.
18:05 If it doesn't happen, then we will keep getting beaten.
18:09 So, our end will be bad.
18:10 Mr. Shahid, this is my question.
18:12 You have to make a plan.
18:15 When, where, whom you have to feed.
18:17 And, don't fight with swords.
18:19 I feel that our focus is not on making a team,
18:23 not on future planning,
18:25 it is on ranking.
18:26 That ranking should not be spoiled.
18:28 Today, you know,
18:29 you know in Asia Cup that ranking is so irrelevant.
18:31 We have to fix the system from above.
18:34 25 days are left with Mr. Zakha Ashraf,
18:36 that he should get the election done,
18:37 of the PCB chairman.
18:39 Will he get the election done or not?
18:41 25 days are left.
18:42 That means, he has time till 5th November.
18:44 Either he should give IPC extension,
18:46 or he should give it legally,
18:47 it is not possible.
18:49 If he gets the election done in 25 days,
18:51 and he gets elected,
18:52 and all the court cases against him are over,
18:55 then start a process.
18:57 He has done a few good things,
18:58 and a few very bad things.
19:00 He has given employment to 69 people.
19:02 He has made a complete employment exchange.
19:04 You should employ at the place where you need it.
19:07 You need a strong performance manager,
19:10 who has kept a record of all domestic and international players.
19:14 We were told that this will happen.
19:16 If we click one button,
19:17 we will see 10 replacements.
19:19 It was so difficult to replace Naseem Shah.
19:21 Your backup is also injured.
19:23 Tell me, how is Ramesh bhai's game?
19:26 Pakistan has won its first match.
19:28 Sri Lanka had to face a defeat after a tough fight,
19:32 with 102 runs.
19:34 This match is very important for them.
19:37 Ramesh bhai's game is almost a year old.
19:39 Shahid bhai can understand this better.
19:41 December.
19:42 Sethi sir has been here for 6 months.
19:44 It's been almost 3 months since Zaka sir came.
19:47 Why didn't Sethi sir get elected?
19:49 His advisors, who are in office,
19:52 have made him die.
19:54 They are not letting Zaka sir get elected.
19:56 They didn't let him get elected either.
19:58 He won't be able to get elected for the next 3 years.
20:00 No doubt, both of them have done a great job for Pakistan.
20:03 The advisors who are in office,
20:05 they will have to change.
20:07 They will have to stay away from them.
20:08 They should have new people, new faces.
20:10 They should have better advisors.
20:12 They will have to keep better advisors.
20:14 Otherwise, Zaka sir will face the same fate as Sethi sir.
20:17 We will take a break here.
20:18 We will be back after the break.
20:19 We will continue the discussion.
20:20 Don't go anywhere. We will be right back.
20:21 [Music]
20:50 It's going to be a great match.
20:51 I think we will get early on wickets.
20:53 What are your expectations from the Pakistani pace battery?
20:58 Yes, I think till the time the swing is going on,
21:02 Shaheen will be a threat for the batsmen.
21:05 Because, we have seen that in the Koka Brawl,
21:09 especially in Indian conditions,
21:10 it's very difficult to swing for a long time in the day time.
21:14 So, till the time the swing is going on,
21:15 we should get wickets in 2 overs or 3 overs.
21:17 Because, we have a bowler who is very good at getting grip from the new ball.
21:24 We can get Nawaz to do it in power play.
21:27 But, the biggest effort is to get wickets from the fast bowler early on.
21:32 I think, Shaheen has a lot of power.
21:34 And, Hassan Ali has a lot of power.
21:35 He can get the ball on the line of the early door.
21:37 So, in 4 to 5 overs, it's very crucial for picking up wickets.
21:42 And, considering we are playing in Hyderabad,
21:45 what are your expectations?
21:47 How much should we restrict?
21:49 I think, we should keep it below 300.
21:54 I don't know how the wicket is played today.
21:57 But, if we look at the Netherlands pitch,
22:00 if it's the same pitch,
22:01 then if it's a used pitch,
22:04 then you will have to stop the round from 280 to 280.
22:08 If the dew factor comes in the evening,
22:10 then it can be easy for you to chase.
22:13 But, if the wicket takes a lot of turns in the evening,
22:16 then I think, it's better to do it in the less time.
22:19 Because, in the day time,
22:20 the first 10 to 15 overs are a little difficult for the batsman.
22:24 But, after that, it's easy for the batsman.
22:27 So, I think, it's better to take wickets early
22:30 and restrict them below 280.
22:33 It's the World Cup, there's pressure.
22:34 It's better to chase in the less pressure.
22:37 Absolutely right. As we speak, there's a boundary as well.
22:39 See, it's exactly like that.
22:41 You've seen, the ball is a little out of the option.
22:45 First, he hit 3 balls on the leg.
22:47 Finally, he got it on the boundary fine leg.
22:49 So, this is one thing.
22:51 The swing you get,
22:53 the earlier it is,
22:54 the more advantage you take,
22:56 it's better.
22:57 But, here, all 3 fast bowlers are hitting in rhythm.
23:00 From today, you can understand,
23:02 the Pakistan team will get a little tough time.
23:05 But, now we'll have to see,
23:07 how our spinners bowl.
23:10 What kind of responsibility they take.
23:11 Because, we speak,
23:12 until we don't bowl in the middle,
23:14 we'll be a team,
23:15 even if it's a little good team,
23:16 it'll be difficult to control them.
23:18 Sri Lankan spinners play very well.
23:20 Like, they chased the Asia Cup match,
23:23 how easily our spinners played.
23:25 That was a tough condition for the batsmen.
23:27 But, they played very smoothly.
23:29 So, now pressure,
23:30 now the whole game,
23:31 we'll bowl 1-2 outs from the top,
23:32 we'll bowl in the middle,
23:34 there'll be rhythm,
23:35 there'll be confidence.
23:36 This is very important for the Pakistan team.
23:38 What do you feel after watching the start?
23:40 How is the pitch behaving, Basit bhai?
23:42 It's a little soft.
23:44 And, I think,
23:45 a new ball should go through the spinner.
23:47 A new ball should go through the spinner?
23:49 100% the ball will grip.
23:51 The Kukubora ball,
23:52 until it's stitched,
23:53 it grips, it spins, it breaks.
23:56 If you make it go through the fast bowler,
23:59 4-4 overs,
24:00 and the seam goes in,
24:01 then the spinners won't be suitable.
24:04 So, we'll have to take a brave decision.
24:06 Let's see what Babar decides.
24:08 But, whatever the target,
24:10 be it below 260 or 300,
24:13 we'll have an advantage of 30-40 runs in the second half.
24:16 In the second half.
24:17 In both the matches,
24:18 the Netherlands got a new ball.
24:20 The spinner broke.
24:21 So, it's a valid point by Basit bhai,
24:23 that we can take a chance.
24:24 The batsman is on the left.
24:25 You can get it done,
24:26 get it done 1-2 overs,
24:27 try out.
24:28 So, who would you try?
24:29 Iftikhar.
24:30 Iftikhar.
24:31 Iftikhar.
24:32 Babar doesn't want to do it.
24:33 No, no, Iftikhar.
24:34 Iftikhar is there.
24:35 He's the same.
24:36 He's the left-hander.
24:37 He's playing the fucker.
24:38 He's the left-hander.
24:39 Yes, yes, for that.
24:40 It can be a good option.
24:41 He plays well with the fast bowler.
24:43 Let's try out.
24:44 Because Hassan Ali and Harish Rao
24:46 will play better with the old ball.
24:48 So, we'll get an advantage.
24:49 Yes, there's an advantage,
24:50 and we need it a little bit,
24:52 because our second new ball,
24:54 the fast bowler is already missing.
24:56 One thing, I don't understand,
24:57 both the balls are coming in.
24:59 Shaheen's ball is coming in for the right-hander,
25:02 and Hassan's is coming in for the left-hander,
25:04 and there are two slips already.
25:06 But we have Captain Azhar Ali with us.
25:09 If he was here,
25:10 what field placing would he have done?
25:12 For field placing,
25:13 Azhar, if you were the captain,
25:15 what field placing would you have done?
25:18 I don't even have a stun screen in front of me,
25:22 and you're asking me this question.
25:24 But the thing that the spinner,
25:26 Basit Bhai, said,
25:28 I will definitely second that.
25:30 But we have seen that
25:32 the bowlers who come with a plan,
25:34 they stick to that.
25:36 So, hopefully, today,
25:37 we'll be able to see a little bit of proactivity,
25:39 in the sense that the ball is gripped here.
25:42 So, we should definitely try the spinners in the early doze.
25:45 After that, the slip that's left,
25:47 the bowler's plan, the main swing,
25:50 the field should be set accordingly.
25:52 I think if the ball is coming in,
25:54 then the short-mid wicket catching…
25:56 Has he taken the ball?
25:57 Has Azhar taken it?
25:58 He has taken it.
26:00 Basit Bhai has said, "Take it immediately."
26:02 That would be amazing.
26:04 Our mic is going to Hyderabad.
26:07 It's going after the fielding course.
26:09 Along with that, we're talking about the Pakistan game,
26:15 and we'll keep doing it.
26:16 Along with that, let's take a look at the other side as well.
26:19 The second match is going to Dharamshala,
26:21 between England and Bangladesh.
26:23 There's a 46th over game going on, Basit Bhai.
26:26 Out, out, out.
26:27 Here, Kausal Pereira's wicket has been taken by Hassan Ali.
26:32 This important breakthrough was very important for Pakistan.
26:35 We'll take a break here.
26:36 We'll be back after the break,
26:37 and we'll talk about this wicket as well.
26:39 Don't go anywhere.
26:41 [music]
26:45 [music]
26:48 [music]
26:58 [music]
27:09 [music]
27:12 Glad to have you back once again to our special transmission.
27:18 And at 10-14, one player is out.
27:21 The latest score is this, Sirela.
27:23 So, we're talking about the Pakistan team.
27:25 How are you looking at the game?
27:27 It's too early to say,
27:30 but I saw Kausal's intent.
27:33 He batted very well in the last match.
27:35 He didn't take the pressure of being out.
27:37 He's playing his game, playing positively.
27:39 Like he just bowled a boundary to Shaheen.
27:42 It was very risky.
27:43 It's only the third over.
27:44 So, crossing such shots to fast bowlers,
27:47 who hit the main wickets,
27:49 and move forward,
27:50 is a big deal.
27:51 But, if you get a couple of more wickets here,
27:53 it's completely under pressure.
27:55 Then, they'll think that we'll think of a 300-350,
27:59 and like Basit Bhai said,
28:00 we'll try to get out.
28:02 We should take advantage of that.
28:04 I think the line is a bit on the left side.
28:06 Hasan Ali has bowled out,
28:08 but you can see that he's also wide.
28:10 You can see that Shaheen is also coming off-line.
28:12 We'll have to hold the line.
28:14 Azhar, the wicket that fell on the screen,
28:16 if we could replay it.
28:17 No, no, no.
28:18 We'll watch the live.
28:19 We'll watch the live.
28:20 There's no television there.
28:22 Basit Bhai, I'll come to you.
28:24 What mistake did Kausal Purana make,
28:26 and did Hasan Ali succeed?
28:29 I think the ball was a bit too far.
28:32 His strong shot, the cut on the back foot,
28:35 he wanted to make that, but he couldn't.
28:37 Like Kami said, he's playing positively.
28:41 That's good for our bowlers.
28:43 Because if they hit shots,
28:45 in the first 10 overs,
28:47 if they hit shots, we'll get wickets.
28:49 That's good for Pakistan.
28:51 The players who are drafting-type,
28:53 like Babar, Saud, or Azhar,
28:56 the one who drafts,
28:58 takes time, takes the ball,
29:00 then sets himself up,
29:02 that's a dangerous player on this pitch.
29:05 Like Kausal Purana got out,
29:07 I want to tell you a technical thing.
29:09 The ball was in front,
29:11 but he went to cut the ball,
29:13 the bat went down.
29:15 If he had climbed up and brought the bat,
29:17 then maybe it would have hit.
29:18 The ball was in front.
29:19 So that's why he,
29:20 the bat, the shot selection,
29:23 which is why he got out,
29:24 basically it's a new ball,
29:26 he's a player who plays positively,
29:27 he's aggressive.
29:28 He should have taken 1-2 overs early.
29:31 But his technique of cutting the ball,
29:33 Basit will tell you,
29:35 it was like a flash.
29:37 If he had cut properly,
29:39 maybe he would have been saved.
29:40 Absolutely right.
29:41 This was a free hit.
29:43 Yes.
29:44 This was a free hit.
29:45 This time in our transmission,
29:47 because we don't have much time,
29:48 let's quickly take everyone's predictions.
29:51 Kamran, what do you think,
29:53 Pakistan or Sri Lanka?
29:55 I think the pressure on Pakistan is over.
29:57 First, to score a goal.
29:58 If the second time is good,
29:59 then I'll go with Pakistan.
30:01 Okay.
30:02 Four points.
30:04 Pakistan's four points,
30:05 which means,
30:06 Basit is also saying Pakistan.
30:07 Pakistan.
30:08 Pakistan.
30:09 Azhar, Pakistan or Sri Lanka?
30:12 60-40 Pakistan.
30:15 60-40 Pakistan.
30:17 Azhar has kept the margin a bit safe here too.
30:20 And I also think that
30:22 this match should not be difficult for Pakistan.
30:25 Somehow Sri Lanka decided to toss,
30:28 but I don't know what Sri Lanka has thought.
30:30 But Pakistan is also seen as a favourite in this match.
30:34 So, let's quickly talk about the second match,
30:37 before another wicket falls and we can't talk about it.
30:40 In the second match,
30:41 England and Bangladesh are competing against each other in Dharamshala.
30:45 And the game is going on for the 49th over.
30:47 352 for 7.
30:49 Basit bhai.
30:50 Yes.
30:51 352 for 7.
30:52 352 for 7.
30:53 Overs?
30:54 49th over is going on.
30:55 Three balls have been scored for the 49th over.
30:57 9 balls remain.
30:58 It looked like they would score 400.
31:00 But England's bowling is such that I think they should win.
31:04 Okay.
31:05 Milan played a great batting.
31:07 And with that, Jonny Bestow came in the form and scored 50.
31:10 And then, the best thing is that Joroud is in a great form.
31:13 He has scored 82 runs today.
31:15 And the total number of such teams should be there.
31:17 England is a top team.
31:18 They have played with a lot of calculation.
31:20 They have not seen that it is a day match.
31:23 There, they get a little early help.
31:25 And the fast bowlers have gone with the same intent.
31:27 Positive game.
31:28 But after the top three, they could not do much.
31:31 Butters got out at 20.
31:32 Harry Brooks got out at 20.
31:33 Livingston 0.
31:34 Sam Curran 11.
31:35 And Adil Rashid 11.
31:36 Still, there are 350 runs.
31:37 That is right.
31:38 But the overs were scored.
31:39 The risk increases.
31:40 The top order did that work.
31:41 The start they did was great.
31:42 Azhar, I would like to ask you the same.
31:43 A very good David Milan's 140 knock.
31:44 Along with that, Joroud's 82.
31:45 And Bestow's 80.
31:46 And the best thing is that the best team in the world is England.
31:47 And the best thing is that the best team in the world is England.
31:48 And the best thing is that the best team in the world is England.
31:50 David Milan's 140 knock.
31:51 Along with that, Joroud's 82.
31:52 And Bestow's 50.
31:53 How do you look at the performance so far?
31:54 The score is now 352.
31:55 No, most of the people know the England's batting line up,
31:56 No, most of the people know the England's batting line up,
31:57 the way they play attacking cricket.
31:58 But being in Joroud's form and being in their team
31:59 I think is very important.
32:00 Because all the players play very attacking.
32:01 Joroud is also playing very attacking these days.
32:02 But they are such players who are not in the top 10.
32:03 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:04 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:05 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:06 But they are such players who are not in the top 10.
32:07 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:31 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:55 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:56 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:57 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:58 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
32:59 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
33:00 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
33:01 So, they are a bit of a burden to us.
