00:00 Hello, good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum and welcome back to the pavilion.
00:08 I am Fakhr-e-Anam and you are watching Hey Sports and Sports and the ARY Zapp app.
00:12 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 from India.
00:16 First of all, a big thank you to Imran Khan who was taking care of this pavilion while I was away.
00:23 And I do really really appreciate. Thank you very much Imran.
00:26 You did a fantastic job and we hope to have you back in the pavilion so that I can disappear more often.
00:32 With that, let's first bring in the friends that I have in the pavilion.
00:36 I've got four former Pakistani captains, outstanding minds of the game of cricket.
00:40 They are with me in the pavilion.
00:42 The young, the dynamic and dropping pearls of wisdom, Shoaib Malik.
00:46 Shoaib, welcome.
00:47 Good afternoon, Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone and welcome back.
00:50 Thank you, Shoaib. Good to be back.
00:52 With me, Mr. Dependable, the most successful test captain of Pakistan's cricket history.
00:57 I have Ms. Maulana.
00:59 Ms. Maulana, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:00 Yes, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:03 The man of crisis, the silver fox of the pavilion.
01:08 I've got none other than Mr. Crooked Fingers himself, Mohin Khan.
01:12 Mohin, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:13 Waalaikum-Salaam, Fakhr-e-Anam. Welcome back.
01:15 Thank you.
01:16 Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:17 And the cricket royalty himself, the Sultan of swing, the undisputed king of all rounders,
01:23 His Royal Highness, Mr. Wasim Akram.
01:25 Good morning, Wasim.
01:27 Good morning, good morning and Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone.
01:30 Good afternoon.
01:31 Good afternoon.
01:32 Good afternoon.
01:33 Good afternoon.
01:34 Good to see you all, gentlemen.
01:38 And first of all, let's talk about yesterday's match.
01:43 Let me bring the match summary to you.
01:44 Afghanistan vs New Zealand.
01:45 Yesterday's match was New Zealand going full steam ahead.
01:48 Look at that.
01:49 So, Afghanistan winning the toss, putting New Zealand into bad.
01:51 New Zealand did 288 runs, 6 runs lost.
01:54 It looked like a doable score but then it looked like Afghanistan surrendered.
01:58 Now, this 149 runs victory puts New Zealand way up top.
02:03 You know, this is going to improve their net run rate.
02:06 They already have the points.
02:08 This is how the match went down yesterday at your service.
02:11 Now, let's take a look at the points table as well.
02:14 So that we can get an idea of the current situation.
02:17 And this is how the points table is looking like at the ICT Men's Cricket World Cup.
02:21 Now, New Zealand, look at that run rate, right?
02:24 That run rate is very, very healthy.
02:26 But India is trailing right behind them, very close to them.
02:29 And then today, well, let's see what happens at the end of the day.
02:32 But India should be able to dominate that points table as well.
02:35 South Africa, Pakistan right there.
02:37 Even though South Africa did get a surprise by the Netherlands.
02:40 But they are at number 3 and Pakistan is holding on to its position at number 4.
02:43 We've got a big game with Australia tomorrow and that should be a lot of fun.
02:47 The top four teams qualify for the semi-finals and that's how your points table is looking like.
02:52 Alright, let me start off.
02:54 And today, at your service, we have another match.
02:56 And this is an interesting game as I said.
02:58 It's India. This is a match at your service.
03:00 I'm coming to your screen.
03:01 Today, we are taking you for the first time to Pune for the first game of this World Cup in Pune.
03:07 This is India vs Bangladesh.
03:08 This match will start at 1.30 pm.
03:10 For that, we will get you ready and talk to our panelists about this match.
03:15 Wasim, let me start off with you first up.
03:17 It's easy. It looks like a lot of people have said, "Oh, this is not a match between India and Bangladesh."
03:24 And if we keep the World Cup date, they have played 4 matches against each other.
03:27 India has won 3 matches.
03:29 I just want to say, and Bangladesh has won 1 match.
03:31 But that's not the only history that they have.
03:34 In the home series, Bangladesh has beaten India.
03:37 And recently, Bangladesh has beaten Asia Cup.
03:41 So, should we think of this as a soft competition or a one-sided game?
03:47 Or has the ability to be a game that can go any way?
03:52 If you allow me, brother.
03:54 I love this. It's not "if you allow me". It's "permission".
03:58 100%.
04:00 100%.
04:02 If we look at the recent form, Bangladesh has dominated India.
04:06 The series that happened, they won 2-1.
04:09 And Bangladesh won 3 out of the last 4 matches.
04:12 This is a new tournament, a new game.
04:14 India looks really good as far as their team is concerned.
04:18 Their squad is concerned. They are playing positive cricket.
04:20 And Bangladesh, I think the big question mark is their captain.
04:23 I think he had a quad injury.
04:25 But I don't think a quad injury can heal so soon.
04:28 If he doesn't play, Bangladesh will struggle.
04:31 But they have this guy called Mahedi Hassan.
04:34 Who took 4 wickets against England but he didn't play against New Zealand, I think.
04:38 Now, who will they play against?
04:40 If they play against him, India is very good against spin bowling too.
04:44 So, they are in a dilemma a bit.
04:46 So, I think the first step for them is to find out if this skipper is playing or not.
04:50 Misma, India's batting has been dominating this tournament.
04:53 India as a team has been dominating. They look very, very good.
04:55 All the departments are covered.
04:57 But again, when you have top batsmen in form, everybody has been scoring runs and all.
05:02 How does the opposition plan its attack on the Indian batting?
05:06 I think it is very important for Bangladesh to create a collapse in the Indian batting lineup.
05:15 Otherwise, it is very difficult to stop them.
05:18 Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shiv Mungil, Kiel Rahul, all the batsmen are in good form and are scoring runs.
05:29 Then there are their home conditions.
05:31 Bangladesh has played well against India.
05:34 Either they have played in their own conditions, where they have pitches that suit them.
05:38 Or when they won the World Cup, the conditions were similar to Bangladesh.
05:43 In Indian conditions, the Indian team is very strong.
05:46 If you look at the previous teams, the teams they have played against,
05:51 even if they are the number one team in the world, it is difficult to match them.
05:55 The way they bat, they score runs and they have a lot of idea about bowling.
06:02 So it is a very difficult task for any team to beat India in India.
06:08 Bangladesh is one and the same.
06:10 If they create a collapse and get out of the game, then it is difficult to give them a chance.
06:19 Because their entire team has a great balance.
06:22 They have a balanced bowling lineup, they have spinners, fast bowlers, different types of bowlers.
06:28 They have 6 good bowlers.
06:30 6 good bowlers.
06:31 6 good bowlers are not only good at building pressure and discipline,
06:37 but they also have attacking options to out them.
06:40 So I think, if there is no match, it is going to be very tough for Bangladesh.
06:44 One more thing to add to this is that in this World Cup, India is on top.
06:51 Average opening stand in the World Cup 2023, 60.33.
06:57 Their opening stand is in Rakhmanistan, then England.
07:00 And the venue where the match is going to be held in the last 10 years,
07:04 the average is the highest in Pune in the last 10 years, 6.07.
07:10 That is the rate of runs in the last 10 years.
07:14 300+ runs is the first inning total.
07:17 Continue, continue.
07:19 Informed batting lineup, especially captains leading from the front.
07:24 And their strike rate is 75-106 for Rohit Sharma, the hitman.
07:31 So he is leading from the front.
07:33 To stop such a strong batting lineup in this venue in Pune,
07:37 we will have to out 3-4 early so that they target India.
07:42 Mohit, I would like to add on.
07:46 The way Mizba has said that if Bangladesh gets wickets from the top,
07:51 there is a chance that if the first batter or the chaser is doing well,
07:55 then it is necessary to get wickets from the top.
07:57 Bangladesh needs wickets.
08:00 Also, the batsmen from the bottom,
08:03 India has lost 8-9 wickets in these 3 matches.
08:08 So the batsmen from the bottom have not had a chance.
08:13 There is a point where there can be pressure.
08:16 Because for them, this will be the first match.
08:19 So that pressure can be created.
08:21 There is a chance that if Bangladesh gets wickets from the top,
08:24 they can put pressure on them.
08:26 Otherwise, there is no match in both the teams.
08:28 I have to say that we have to be very careful.
08:32 We thought that there will be no match in England,
08:34 Netherlands, South Africa.
08:37 So we don't know when and where there will be a match.
08:39 And when we don't have a break.
08:41 So we will take a break now.
08:43 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
08:44 I am Fakhar Khan and you are watching Sports & Sports and the AYYZ app.
08:47 A few moments ago, there was a package on your screen about Pune.
08:51 Tell us more about Pune.
08:53 It's a beautiful stadium.
08:56 It's about 2.5 hours drive from Mumbai, Pune city.
08:59 And the weather is slightly cooler there.
09:01 Because on the way, you have these hills in the middle.
09:06 Famous Lokhandwala.
09:08 All these cities that we used to see in movies when we were kids.
09:11 They are all there.
09:12 And it's just beautiful.
09:13 It's lush green all the way to Pune.
09:15 And Pune weather is slightly cooler.
09:17 And this stadium is just outside the city.
09:19 And it's surrounded by hills.
09:21 And it's like a Joburg stadium.
09:23 It's like a bulls ring.
09:25 It's at the bottom of the stadium.
09:27 And beautiful dressing rooms.
09:29 Beautiful facility, I must say.
09:31 And an exciting pitch to bat on, Visma.
09:34 You would definitely like to bring it.
09:36 Absolutely.
09:37 Like Malik said, the run rate is 6.07.
09:41 The 7 matches that we played here.
09:43 And the last 3 first inning scores.
09:48 329, 336, 317.
09:52 It means that it's a 300+ pitch.
09:55 Well, let's find out more about the pitch.
09:57 It's time for a pitch report brought to you by Onik.
09:59 Haseem, your favorite subject.
10:01 May I?
10:03 Yes, you may.
10:04 Let's start from here.
10:06 It's fun.
10:07 Yes, it's fun.
10:09 Like Shoaib Malik said, it looks a good track.
10:11 And rock hard, as Badri said.
10:14 And look at the grass.
10:15 It's rolled in, it's dry grass.
10:18 It appears it will be an even bounce.
10:20 And Badri also said that whether it's a fast bowler or a spinner,
10:25 a lot of variation, change-ups will work on this pitch.
10:29 Because otherwise, as they say in Punjabi, it's a firecracker wicket.
10:32 A concrete slab, basically.
10:34 Yes.
10:35 Let me bring this to you, Shoaib.
10:37 We kept talking about pitches.
10:40 And it was said that it will be a 300-400 runs World Cup.
10:43 And here, you'll see 400-500 runs.
10:46 Everything will happen.
10:48 But no match has gone to the last over.
10:51 The world cup fever hasn't been missing.
10:56 And we saw a 350+ score.
11:00 But hasn't there been a consistent run feast throughout this World Cup?
11:06 In India, when the World Cup is happening, the weather is hot.
11:12 And when you play cricket in T20, the conditions don't change that much.
11:19 But when you play ODI cricket, when there are 50 overs,
11:23 then the conditions play differently during the day.
11:27 Under lights play differently.
11:30 And one more thing, a good spinner is out here.
11:35 Yes, some wrist spinners are struggling, but a good finger spinner is out.
11:40 A good seam hitter is out.
11:43 And at the same time, the batters are also making runs.
11:49 And I think the main thing is that we are not getting close games
11:54 because the teams are relying on batting first or later.
12:00 So, till now, they are indecisive.
12:02 We saw New Zealand yesterday, even though they have won all their games.
12:05 But still, the captain wasn't sure what to do after winning the toss.
12:09 So, these elements make it a big thing at the end of the day.
12:15 They are not playing on their strengths.
12:17 I have seen Indian teams are confident enough when it comes down to batting first or bowling first.
12:24 They know their plans.
12:26 I used to think the same about New Zealand till yesterday.
12:29 But when I heard the captain's interview, after losing the toss, he said,
12:34 "I am not sure. I wasn't sure what to do after winning the toss."
12:37 So, this is one thing.
12:39 The other thing is that we have seen Delhi's pitches.
12:43 And today, we saw the first pitch which looked very firm.
12:46 The average score on that ground is 309.
12:49 So, it seems that if India bats first, you will see a big difference.
12:55 Although, we saw that the big score is not visible.
12:58 We saw that in the South African match where the batting was clicked,
13:02 they made 428 runs against Sri Lanka.
13:05 Although, Sri Lanka did well in the chase.
13:09 They also tried to run 300+ runs.
13:11 I think the charm of the World Cup is that after these two upsets,
13:15 it has become much better.
13:18 It is a lot of fun in the World Cup.
13:20 The involvement has increased.
13:22 And the big teams must have been scared after seeing the performances of both the teams.
13:26 So, Afghanistan and Netherlands can defeat any team at any time.
13:31 They have shown their capability.
13:33 Alright, with that, we are going to take a break right here on The Pavilion.
13:35 When we come back, there is more on the other side.
13:37 Don't go away, keep watching.
13:38 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
13:39 And with that, Mishra, you had something to say.
13:42 You are just.
13:44 Just.
13:45 Full just.
13:46 It was a matter of close games.
13:48 Whichever team is winning, whether it is Afghanistan or England,
13:51 it was clear on the stage who is the winner.
13:55 England didn't feel that they are in the match.
13:58 After 10-15 overs, they realized that England is out of the game.
14:03 All the matches, South Africa's match with Netherlands,
14:06 it was a one-sided match after 10-15 overs.
14:10 I think that the two teams, India and New Zealand,
14:14 are playing properly, like one-day cricket, covering all the bases.
14:22 They have a plan that they will play power play like this,
14:24 bat like this in the middle overs,
14:26 how to finish,
14:29 even when they come to defend,
14:31 all their bases are covered in bowling,
14:33 what to do when, in which phase,
14:35 the rest of the team is playing in T20 flow.
14:39 And where they have to rebuild,
14:42 their first plan A is here and there,
14:44 whether it is batting or bowling,
14:46 after that they don't have cover.
14:48 And that's why such a big difference is created,
14:52 that from the beginning you know who is winning.
14:55 I think teams will have to think,
14:57 one-day cricket is slightly different,
14:59 you have to plan it in that way,
15:03 play the middle phase in that way.
15:05 One-day cricket is very less.
15:08 And here, the credit, as you said,
15:11 to the Indian team and New Zealand team,
15:14 their bases are covered because their think tank,
15:18 the decision makers have a sense,
15:20 how to play ODI cricket.
15:23 Rest, if you see the teams,
15:25 all of them have become very less.
15:27 And the World Cup comes after 4 years,
15:29 with 50 overs.
15:30 So this is also an element.
15:32 Yes, today I will talk about India.
15:35 Two people have not played out of 15.
15:39 One is Mohammad Shami,
15:41 and another is Surya Kumar Yadav.
15:44 They should fit in somewhere,
15:47 they should be given a chance,
15:49 so that they can stay in match practice.
15:51 It has been reported that Shami will play today.
15:54 I don't know who will play, but that's the news we got.
15:56 Shardul Thakur will play.
16:00 It's a long tournament.
16:03 Anyone can get injured.
16:05 So the rest of the benchers should also be in match practice.
16:10 Because in a crucial match,
16:12 the decider has to play a new player,
16:15 so at least that person should be in match practice.
16:18 You have made a good point.
16:21 Maybe they want to bring another seamer in,
16:23 because Bangladesh is good against Spin,
16:25 and they want to not take any chances,
16:27 and load up on the fast balling.
16:29 I suppose Shardul bats at No. 7 or No. 8.
16:32 If he bats at No. 8,
16:34 and wants to make his bowling strong against Bangladesh,
16:37 I think it's not a bad idea.
16:39 And he is in very good nick, Shami.
16:41 He has really bowled well over the last year.
16:43 He is a wicket taker.
16:45 He hits the ball from both sides.
16:47 He has a seam, and he does a good reverse swing.
16:49 Especially against left-handers.
16:51 He has a great gain around the wicket.
16:54 He comes out of the seamer.
16:57 We have seen that Bangladesh's top-order batsmen are struggling.
17:01 If they get a gain outside,
17:03 it's difficult for them.
17:06 England's gain is also top-3.
17:08 Bangladesh has to see their batting.
17:11 He is a very bad nick.
17:14 He is inexperienced.
17:16 He has only played 8 games.
17:19 He is not an average batsman.
17:22 He is inexperienced.
17:24 He has a big stage.
17:26 That's why I think if you are not experienced,
17:29 and you get under pressure in the beginning,
17:31 and lose wickets,
17:33 then it becomes very difficult for you.
17:35 I think that also didn't help,
17:37 because at the last minute,
17:39 Tameem Iqbal decided not to come on a tour.
17:41 Apparently, I read it.
17:43 I'm not so sure.
17:45 He said he will play 5-6 matches only in the World Cup.
17:48 So obviously, Skipper got a bit taken aback.
17:51 If you are on a tour,
17:53 you can't just say that I have played half the match,
17:55 and not played the other half.
17:57 You can't pick and choose.
17:59 Mohin, I have a question for you.
18:01 If you are the Bangladesh batting right now,
18:03 the quality of India's bowling,
18:05 which is the bowler you would pick on,
18:07 and then score from him?
18:09 Or these are the two bowlers we can target.
18:11 From Bangladesh's perspective,
18:13 which two bowlers would you pick?
18:15 Both of them are bowling very well.
18:17 They have played well for Shardul,
18:19 and he was also bowling well.
18:21 On the other hand,
18:23 if we look at these three matches,
18:25 there was no partnership anywhere,
18:27 and no good start.
18:29 Although the middle order has handled it well.
18:31 But the opening stand is very important
18:33 in this tournament.
18:35 And the way we saw the pitch,
18:37 if we look at the batting,
18:39 you can't click on the bat
18:41 until you get the right bat.
18:43 Naturally, as you asked,
18:45 you have to target.
18:47 It will be very difficult initially,
18:49 because you have to pass the ball
18:51 like you do in a boomerang.
18:53 You have to swing both ways.
18:55 You have to wait a little.
18:57 You don't have to hurry.
18:59 But which bowler can target Bangladesh?
19:01 I mean,
19:03 who are you targeting
19:05 from such a bowling lineup?
19:07 You have to think out of the box.
19:09 Because,
19:11 the bowling is good,
19:13 you won't counter-attack it.
19:15 Wherever you get the ball,
19:17 where you can hit easy,
19:19 or you have options,
19:21 you can target any bowler.
19:23 Unless you are clear.
19:25 Clarity is very important from here.
19:27 I was talking about clarity,
19:29 which is not there in these batsmen.
19:31 Because, in all three matches,
19:33 you can see that the small partnerships,
19:35 the maximum partnership,
19:37 has been of 90 runs.
19:39 So, it's not going to be easy for them
19:41 to target any particular bowler.
19:43 In this, you should see
19:45 if it's easy for a spinner to play,
19:47 then you should attack the spinners.
19:49 Who will attack Kuldeep Yadav?
19:51 If the ball is not spinning,
19:53 Kuldeep Yadav will throw the ball.
19:55 He can also be targeted.
19:57 Babli Pint has left-hand batsmen.
19:59 And if it's easy to play
20:01 a pacer's ball,
20:03 then you should do it on a given day.
20:05 And one thing I want to say here,
20:07 if Mohd. Shami comes,
20:09 instead of Shardul Thakur,
20:11 I think the Indian team
20:13 has a better balance.
20:15 Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya
20:17 are their
20:19 5th and 6th bowler.
20:21 If they come,
20:23 there is no loophole.
20:25 I am not saying that Hardik Pandya
20:27 is also doing 140.
20:29 Alright, with that we have got a match preview.
20:31 Let's take a look.
20:33 There you have it. Good to see
20:35 Shakaib Al Hasan there.
20:37 I think he can play 4-5 more World Cups.
20:39 Looks super fit. We are going to take a break.
20:41 We will see you on the other side.
20:43 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
20:45 You are watching AirSports, Ten Sports
20:47 and the AYZ App. Our continued coverage
20:49 of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 from India.
20:51 Today we are taking you to Pune for the first time.
20:53 Where India is playing Bangladesh.
20:55 We have shown you the pitch report
20:57 a while ago.
20:59 I have got Shoaib Malik,
21:01 Ms. Wauhul Haq, Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram.
21:03 Wasim, let's talk about the Bangladesh bowling
21:05 here now for a minute.
21:07 There is a crisis in their batting lineup.
21:09 On the bowling side,
21:11 we were talking about Shakaib Al Hasan.
21:13 He looks fit. You were watching his interview
21:15 before the break.
21:17 He might be joining in.
21:19 What is the strength of Bangladesh bowling right now?
21:21 Generally, when they play,
21:23 the matches we have seen
21:25 and followed in Bangladesh
21:27 are based on spin.
21:29 But in the last
21:31 6-8 months or a year,
21:33 their fast bowling has improved.
21:35 Tashkeen Ahmed is unfortunately not playing in the World Cup.
21:37 But overall, he has 23 wickets
21:39 in 14 odd yards
21:41 since last year or so.
21:43 And then of course, Shirooful
21:45 is bowling well with the new ball.
21:47 His ball comes in.
21:49 It depends on whether he plays or not.
21:51 But right now, in their team,
21:53 if we look at the spinners,
21:55 it's only Shakaib
21:57 who does variations.
21:59 He is one of the most experienced cricketers
22:01 in the world right now in ODIs.
22:03 But after the off-spinner,
22:05 there is no one else.
22:07 They just do normal off-spin.
22:09 So I think their fast bowling is better
22:11 than the spin bowling in the World Cup so far.
22:13 Rohit Sharma
22:15 has taken his strike rate
22:17 in this power play
22:19 from 76 to 106%.
22:21 So the fast bowlers who will come
22:23 to bowl in the World Cup,
22:25 what should be their planning
22:27 for Rohit Sharma?
22:29 You have said this before,
22:31 that Rohit Sharma should
22:33 keep the bouncer at a high height.
22:35 Not the low because his pulls are really good.
22:37 Outside of stump.
22:39 That is one technique to take him on.
22:41 Absolutely. And I guess,
22:43 he should target only one thing.
22:45 He should exploit all his weak areas.
22:47 How many weak areas does Rohit Sharma have?
22:49 Let's just start with that.
22:51 I can't see any weak areas.
22:53 Early on,
22:55 he is vulnerable on the ball
22:57 when he comes in.
22:59 Because it is a short shot.
23:01 He can see a small area on the leg stump.
23:03 He is considered a hit on the leg side.
23:05 So if he hits a fractionally in the middle,
23:07 it will be the same ball.
23:09 I think,
23:11 whatever I think,
23:13 I think that
23:15 Tazkian should not bowl a new ball.
23:17 I think Shariful and Khabbo
23:19 should be bowled.
23:21 Mustafiz.
23:23 So, it is good to bring both of them inside.
23:25 So,
23:27 it is possible that it will be difficult for them.
23:29 Otherwise,
23:31 as Shoaib said,
23:33 I can't see any loophole
23:35 where we can say that he can get stuck.
23:37 And we have talked about the bouncer.
23:39 Naturally, the bouncer.
23:41 If he is at a higher height,
23:43 then you can also...
23:45 But Mohin, that is risky.
23:47 It is a wide ball.
23:49 In-form batter. One of the best players of
23:51 short pitch bowling.
23:53 So, what should you keep in the field?
23:55 Should you keep the third man on the top,
23:57 or should you keep the fine leg and square leg behind?
23:59 If the third man is bowling,
24:01 then keep the wide-ish fine leg.
24:03 And if it is a little slow,
24:05 then you can take the square leg straight away
24:07 and then get the same shot.
24:09 Okay.
24:11 They are better like this. You will have to take chances.
24:13 No doubt, some runs will also get leaked
24:15 as Bangladesh team.
24:17 But it is very important to take their wicket.
24:19 Because he has been setting the tone.
24:21 When he sets the tone,
24:23 then the lower team is already
24:25 in a very tight game.
24:27 They get such a platform,
24:29 then they don't stop.
24:31 They keep playing in their momentum.
24:33 And when Virat comes on the third number,
24:35 such runs are being stolen from one end.
24:37 That I don't know, there is someone
24:39 and there is no one.
24:41 That's nice way of putting it.
24:43 That's a good analogy right there.
24:45 That's why it is very important
24:47 to take Rohit's wicket.
24:49 And Indian batting lineup,
24:51 they are relying highly on him.
24:53 And if they get their wicket,
24:55 then Bangladesh will always be in the game.
24:57 Yeah, absolutely.
24:59 Mishra, for you,
25:01 what do you think would be
25:03 if, for example,
25:05 Bangladesh bats first?
25:07 What kind of score should they go for?
25:09 Because we have heard a lot
25:11 in pre-match interviews
25:13 that if the pitch is 300 runs,
25:15 then they will target 300-320 runs
25:17 and not even 200.
25:19 What should be Bangladesh's approach
25:21 here now to set a total?
25:23 Or if they want to defend,
25:25 what kind of total would they like to defend?
25:27 I mean, how low can they manage, if they can?
25:29 Look, the venue stats
25:31 and the pitch that we can see,
25:33 clearly says that
25:35 the pitch will not be below 300.
25:37 And then you don't have
25:39 that kind of X-factor in bowling.
25:41 Nor are you getting
25:43 a lot of support in conditions.
25:45 So you have to at least think
25:47 that we have to score 300.
25:49 But this doesn't happen.
25:51 As a batting unit, you never think
25:53 that you have set 330
25:55 and you have to play right from the first ball.
25:57 You have to see
25:59 and still, as a batting unit,
26:01 you go and play the ball.
26:03 You see the start a little.
26:05 You see how the pitch is behaving.
26:07 And then you
26:09 reassess the total.
26:11 If you make a decision
26:13 and the pitch is not
26:15 or the bowling is not going well,
26:17 then you get these kinds of collapses.
26:19 So you have to play in parts.
26:21 50 overs, 10 overs,
26:23 if the ball is coming nicely,
26:25 you feel that we can take initiative,
26:27 you attack.
26:29 You try to cash 10 overs.
26:31 If the ball is going well,
26:33 then you have to assess a little.
26:35 You have to spend time.
26:37 You have to try to rebuild.
26:39 In the beginning, you have to preserve
26:41 the bowling.
26:43 Then we will just see
26:45 if we can attack the spinners.
26:47 This is very important for any team.
26:49 When you were talking,
26:51 you were talking about the live visuals
26:53 Rohit Sharma was inspecting the pitch.
26:55 He has put a lot of attention into it.
26:57 Wasim was standing with the coach.
26:59 Rahul Dravid was also with him.
27:01 Just a routine by any skipper
27:03 or any batter, just go feel the pitch.
27:05 We keep our hands on the pitch
27:07 because when you put your palms on the pitch,
27:09 you can see the moisture.
27:11 You get a rough idea, not exact idea,
27:13 but you get a rough idea.
27:15 But it looks a very good deck for me.
27:17 It does.
27:19 We have got Tuscan with us.
27:21 Let's listen in.
27:23 We are going to take a break right here
27:25 on the pavilion.
27:27 But when we come back,
27:29 we are closer to the toss
27:31 where India is clashing
27:33 with Bangladesh.
27:35 With me in the pavilion, I have got Shoaib Malik,
27:37 Miss Fawzi Mohin Khan and Wasim Akram.
27:39 We are coming very close to the toss here.
27:41 Mohin, you wanted to have a big discussion
27:43 about which team will win the toss
27:45 and what they will do first.
27:47 You had a very robust conversation with Mirzba.
27:49 I think,
27:51 the way we have seen the pitch,
27:53 both teams will bat the toss.
27:55 Mirzba says India
27:57 may not bat, India prefers
27:59 to bowl first.
28:01 What is the reason for this?
28:03 I think,
28:05 when India plays against Bangladesh,
28:07 they try to know the target.
28:09 They want to give
28:11 their batting
28:13 a target.
28:15 They want to bowl early on,
28:17 to restrict the opponent.
28:19 They try to
28:21 stop the other team from scoring
28:23 the lowest possible.
28:25 Another reason is that
28:27 Rohit Sharma, Virat and
28:29 KL Rahul, they take
28:31 the responsibility, they take
28:33 that pressure.
28:35 You can see their matches,
28:37 they are very busy.
28:39 When they play a lot of matches,
28:41 they take the pressure.
28:43 When they come,
28:45 it is their job to lead
28:47 from the front.
28:49 This can be a reason.
28:51 That makes a lot of sense.
28:53 We are getting closer to the toss.
28:55 You both have
28:57 different perspectives.
28:59 Keeping in mind this pitch,
29:01 everybody would like to...
29:03 It's their wish.
29:05 It's their wish.
29:07 Did they take permission?
29:09 Did they take permission?
29:11 100%.
29:13 100%.
29:15 100%.
29:17 That's right.
29:19 This should be a good game of cricket
29:21 that we are anticipating.
29:23 Tomorrow Pakistan has a very
29:25 important game of cricket.
29:27 Don't forget to arrange the 'it'.
29:29 The brick.
29:31 Not brick, it.
29:33 It bit.
29:35 Gulkan.
29:37 Tomorrow your voice will be cut off.
29:39 Oh, your voice.
29:41 Yeah.
29:43 Don't ask me questions.
29:45 It bit Gulkan.
29:47 He said, it bit Gulkan.
29:49 Tomorrow your voice will be cut off.
29:51 I won't speak tomorrow.
29:53 I won't speak tomorrow.
29:55 You will have to speak on the show.
29:57 You won't have to speak behind the camera.
29:59 If I don't practice, how will I speak here?
30:01 You don't know the reason
30:03 why you won't speak.
30:05 It's time to flip.
30:07 It's time to flip.
30:09 We'll take you to Pune for the toss.
30:11 Alright, the news out of Pune is that
30:13 Bangladesh has won the toss and decided
30:15 to bat first.
30:17 It's a great news.
30:19 Both the teams prefer bowling.
30:21 So, what you said is right.
30:23 And Mohin, what you said is also right.
30:25 I said, both the teams
30:27 will prefer batting after winning the toss.
30:29 So, Bangladesh has batted.
30:31 But both of them didn't say anything.
30:33 Cut the sword.
30:35 Cut the sword and fight.
30:37 I have no idea what to say to that.
30:39 Okay, there is a reason why
30:41 you have crooked fingers.
30:43 That's all I can say.
30:45 Manina.
30:47 Let's go.
30:49 Why?
30:51 The match is just about to start.
30:53 Playing 11 is here.
30:55 If it's here,
30:57 we'll show it on your screen.
30:59 It's about to come.
31:01 But here's the thing.
31:03 Waseem Shakib is not there.
31:05 And apparently, Tashkent has also been changed.
31:07 So, this is...
31:09 Tashkent is not playing.
31:11 Neither is Shakib.
31:13 And the squad we discussed with Mr. Misbah
31:15 that they are hardly any better.
31:17 They are more bowler than batters.
31:19 And I think, at the last minute,
31:21 they must have felt the difference from Tameem.
31:23 Their plan to come in the 15th
31:25 and open the game.
31:27 And I suppose, they have to groom
31:29 batters for future.
31:31 Shakib won't play all his life.
31:33 So, they must have felt the difference
31:35 from Tameem.
31:37 Batting is a good player.
31:39 Now, when Shakib retires in 2-5 years,
31:41 then they don't have anyone, any backup.
31:43 So, they have to concentrate now.
31:45 Misbah, Bangladesh playing 11th.
31:47 Take us through the changes there.
31:49 It's a big miss.
31:51 Captain is not playing.
31:53 Already batting is struggling.
31:55 One more batter has been reduced.
31:57 Nitin Das, Tanjeeb, Shantu
31:59 and Mehdi Hassan Miraz
32:01 are all arounders.
32:03 Basically, they are off-spinner.
32:05 But batting is good.
32:07 Let's see.
32:09 Nassim has come. He is a left-arm spinner.
32:11 He has played with Taskeem.
32:13 Chorifoor and Mustafeez are good bowlers.
32:15 Let's see how they
32:17 basically go about.
32:19 India's team. Vaseem.
32:21 It's a good side. Same side as the last game.
32:23 No change. People were thinking
32:25 that Sharmikul will replace Shardul. But no.
32:27 They decided to extend the batting.
32:29 You can see three fast bowlers.
32:31 Bhumrah.
32:33 In fact, four.
32:35 Hardik, Siraj,
32:37 Bhumrah and Shardul.
32:39 Those two proper spinners.
32:41 Kuldeep, Vikkertaker and Jadeja.
32:43 They bowl very well in the mid-overs.
32:45 And Vittomay, a very strong batting lineup.
32:47 So, it's a good side.
32:49 They are going unchanged. India is going unchanged.
32:51 With that, we are going to take a break right here in the pavilion.
32:53 When we come back, we are closer to the action.
32:55 Welcome back to the pavilion.
32:57 The news is that Mangladesh
32:59 has won the toss and decided to bat first.
33:01 And along with that, it's time for
33:03 Palmolive Natural's Expert Predictions.
33:05 Rajeev Misma, Expert Predictions.
33:07 India, Sir. India.
33:09 Alright.
33:11 Maseem. India.
33:13 India.
33:15 Bangladesh.
33:17 Listen to me. What happened?
33:19 I told you, Bangladesh
33:21 will not win today.
33:23 India.
33:25 India.
33:27 India.
33:29 India. Alright.
33:31 We have four India's here. And those are your Expert Predictions.
33:33 Brought to you by Palmolive Natural.
33:35 And it's time for a player to watch out for.
33:37 Brought to you by Ufone.
33:39 Right, Shoaib Malik, your player to watch out for today.
33:41 Virat Kohli.
33:43 Virat Kohli. Moin Khan.
33:45 Shubhman Gill.
33:47 Finish the sentence. Done.
33:49 That's the thing. You won't just wink at us.
33:51 Yes, we were making stars.
33:53 He gave us double.
33:55 He gave us a star.
33:57 I'll go for Kuldeep Yadav.
33:59 Kuldeep Yadav. Alright. And Misma?
34:01 Rohit Sharma.
34:03 Rohit, the captain.
34:05 Okay. And those are your players
34:07 to watch out for. Brought to you by Ufone.
34:09 Right, sir. So, toss
34:11 to Bangladesh. Bangladesh
34:13 coming to bat first. Shoaib,
34:15 what do you think? How will the weather be in Pune?
34:17 In Pune, as Mr. Maseem
34:19 told us, he gave us the full report.
34:21 It will be pleasant.
34:23 But it can be pleasant in the dressing room of Bangladesh
34:25 if we get a good start from the top.
34:27 That's what they are hoping for, basically.
34:29 That they get a good start.
34:31 Guys, remember...
34:33 I asked Malik,
34:35 how will the weather be in Pune?
34:37 Look at the screen.
34:39 The weather is coming.
34:41 It's 31 degrees
34:43 Celsius.
34:45 It's going to cool down a bit after a couple of hours.
34:47 Because 2 o'clock starts.
34:49 Quick question. Is the dew factor
34:51 been overdone in this World Cup?
34:53 Have we read too much into dew?
34:55 Has the dew really made an impact?
34:57 The reason we read or everybody read too much into dew
34:59 is because
35:01 2 years ago,
35:03 it was a massive difference.
35:05 Apparently, now, not apparently,
35:07 for some odd reason,
35:09 if the wicket is turning and the second inning
35:11 is also getting an oase, it keeps turning.
35:13 Earlier, it used to come straight
35:15 like a cement pitch
35:17 when the oase used to hit.
35:19 Now, I don't know, the ball grip is also there.
35:21 You remember PSL 2 years ago
35:23 which happened in Abu Dhabi?
35:25 In July, half fair, half dead
35:27 because of COVID.
35:29 And Abu Dhabi was 50 degrees.
35:31 So, when we used to go to practice
35:33 at 9 in the evening,
35:35 there used to be a fog on the grass.
35:37 There was heat coming out.
35:39 And there was so much dew.
35:41 And mostly, the team won there,
35:43 which was the second day they bowled.
35:45 There was a seam, swing, and a turn.
35:47 The mud factor is more, which is why
35:49 I feel, if the grass cover was on the pitch,
35:51 then easily, the ball would have skidded
35:53 and come on the bullet
35:55 and the dew would have fallen.
35:57 They do spray the dew.
35:59 What does the spray do?
36:01 When the dew falls,
36:03 it doesn't stay on the grass.
36:05 The spray slips and
36:07 takes it to the ground.
36:09 And if this happens,
36:11 then the spinner's ball
36:13 grips better
36:15 because it gets a little greasy.
36:17 So, you can hold your fingers
36:19 better on the seam.
36:21 So, I feel, the spray
36:23 is definitely happening.
36:25 You have the Mohin Khan Cricket Academy.
36:27 It's a great place.
36:29 And it's coastal because
36:31 there's a lot of sea breeze.
36:33 What kind of dew do we receive here?
36:35 In coastal areas?
36:37 It's very high.
36:39 And what are the months
36:41 where you face a lot of problems?
36:43 It goes from October to January
36:45 in these areas.
36:47 We face a lot of problems.
36:49 It's very important to cover the pitch
36:51 because normally, all the grounds
36:53 in Karachi are not covered at night.
36:55 Just because of this
36:57 coastal side,
36:59 we have to take extra care.
37:01 Otherwise, the pitch is very low scoring.
37:03 It becomes a turning pitch.
37:05 It's not compact.
37:07 So, that's one factor.
37:09 The other is that
37:11 there's a lot of sea sand in this area.
37:13 When the wind blows,
37:15 it comes on the pitch.
37:17 So, we have to take extra care.
37:19 We can't leave the grass.
37:21 There's so much consumption.
37:23 There's so much booking for matches.
37:25 Every day, there's a match.
37:27 In Karachi,
37:29 apart from the National Stadium,
37:31 where there are 2-4 matches a year,
37:33 we can only leave the grass cover.
37:35 Otherwise, there can't be grass in any ground in Karachi.
37:37 It's very difficult for me to grow.
37:39 Okay, gentlemen. Thank you.
37:41 Thank you, Mohin. Thank you, Wasim.
37:43 And, Misbah.
37:45 Thank you very much.
37:47 4 tonnes of meat.
37:49 Here you go, Misbah. Your foodie friend is here.
37:51 After this, you're going to Dubai for the first time.
37:53 See you on the other side of the ground.
37:55 Ground, not match.
37:57 (laughing)
37:59 (crashing)
