00:00Basit bhai, you were talking about how after such a long wait,
00:04the only thing that comes to mind is how many big players came and went,
00:08how many big captains came and left,
00:10and they didn't get a chance to play in Pakistan.
00:12Pakistani fans missed big names.
00:15Now that moment has come when you can see these big stars up close and personal.
00:21Yes, it's a very good sign, Najeeb.
00:23You see, big names have come.
00:26And out of the four, not one, but three have come.
00:32All three will play here.
00:33It's a great opportunity for the public.
00:35I'm coming on the bat like this.
00:38Yes, all your attention is on the fact that runs will be made well.
00:41The variations here, the fast ball will survive.
00:45Appeal has been made.
00:47Okay, here, Najeeb, the umpire's call will matter a lot in this match.
00:52I'm saying something that the ICC should change.
00:56The umpire's call is not right.
01:00You know which ball is going in and which is not.
01:03And once you are going towards technology,
01:06then why do you have to come back?
01:08Sachin Tendulkar has talked about this many times,
01:10that it shouldn't be done or it should be changed.
01:12It's just that you're reducing the margin of error.
01:14A lot of things will surprise you.
01:16The wicket is getting hit, more than half the ball is getting hit,
01:19and the umpire's call.
01:20So there are a lot of things that are still strange in this.
01:23But the ICC continues to work for further improvement.
01:26Its cricket committee continues to work,
01:28which includes captains, umpires, everyone.
01:31So if you want to reduce the number of howlers,
01:33then you have to believe in it.
01:35And with its ten good decisions,
01:37you have to accept two bad decisions as well.
01:39I apologize.
01:40I have an objection with respect to Mr. Shahid.
01:44The umpires know that if I'm giving a nut out,
01:48then the umpires will call, and vice versa.
01:50It's not that difficult.
01:53Just make one rule,
01:55and remove the umpire's call.
01:57Remove the umpire's call.
01:58Then it will be fine.
02:00The ICC is making good progress day by day.
02:03Earlier, reviews used to be wasted on the umpire's call.
02:07But now they've put up a review
02:09that if the umpire's call happens,
02:10then he'll be with the team.
02:12So a lot of things are getting better.
02:13It will definitely happen in the future.
02:15In the Champions Trophy,
02:17there are eight teams.
02:19You've mentioned the big names in the world.
02:22Great, Brian Lara.
02:24They've won the Champions Trophy.
02:26But they don't have a team.
02:27Sri Lanka doesn't have a team.
02:28There are so many big players.
02:29These two countries shouldn't be in the Champions Trophy.
02:32These ten teams should definitely be in it.
02:35Because they deserve it.
02:36They've won two Champions Trophies,
02:38but they don't have a West Indies team.
02:39They weren't in the last 17,
02:41and they still aren't.
02:42There's a seven-year gap.
02:44If Sri Lanka had a team,
02:46it would've been better.
02:48The team would've had a chance to come back
02:50if they made two pools.
02:52If the team lost one match,
02:53it would've been very difficult for them.
02:55What Kami said about ten teams,
02:57it's very valid.
02:58Sri Lanka is a very dangerous team in white ball.
03:01West India is a very dangerous team in white ball.
03:04If you make ten teams,
03:05it's better for cricket.
03:08Do you remember what the Netherlands captain said
03:11in the World Cup in 2023?
03:13We weren't told this before.
03:15He was upsetting South Africa.
03:18There's one thing for us.
03:20In the world of cricket,
03:24Asia is the king of cricket.
03:26Asia has six teams.
03:28There are four now,
03:29but there are six.
03:30There aren't that many teams in Brazil.
03:33There are two in Australia,
03:34two in Europe,
03:35and two in Africa.
03:37If Asia doesn't exist,
03:38world cricket won't work.
03:40The ICC wants to see
03:42that the international cricket charm
03:44is decreasing among the fans.
03:46If you want to increase it,
03:47you have to bring these countries back.
03:49If you want to make it a success.
03:51This is a plan
03:53that there are eight top teams.
03:55You have to fight for the top eight.
03:59Kamran has a good idea.
04:01The ICC wants to make it global.
04:03There will be a tournament in the Olympics in 2028.
04:06T20 is the brand
04:07with which international cricket is going globally.
04:10In the 2027 World Cup,
04:13there will be 14 teams in the ODI World Cup.
04:16In the 2026 T20 World Cup,
04:18there will be 20 teams.
04:20More and more teams are getting opportunities.
04:23There will be opportunities in the Olympics.
04:25Kamran has said it.
04:28When it goes global,
04:30on social media,
04:31many more cricketers will say it.
04:33The ICC will think
04:35and make the ICC Champions Trophy into 10 teams.
04:38The second over has started.
04:40Sri Lanka is not there.
04:42It was Shakibul Hasan's decision
04:44to take Matthews out.
04:46Time out.
04:47Sri Lanka is not out of this tournament
04:49as it is a team.
04:50There is a lot of excitement.
04:53I hope we get wickets early on.
04:56What do we have to do to get wickets?
04:58To get wickets,
04:59we have to either catch,
05:00bowl or run out.
05:03Wickets are top of the order.
05:06If we get wickets early,
05:08it will put pressure on Kane Williamson
05:10and Daryl Mitchell.
05:11They stabilize the innings.
05:13We need wickets.
05:14Whether it is ODI cricket or any other brand,
05:17no matter how much you score or defend,
05:20you need wickets.
05:21Wickets are crucial, Basit.
05:26It is a must,
05:27but we have to do good over.
05:29Your job is to channel the ball.
05:35The bowlers must have been given a plan
05:38on how the young players play.
05:45If you can see the plan,
05:47it is a good thing.
05:48If you bowl away from it
05:51and take a chance,
05:53your bowling partnership is at risk.
05:56When we talk about batting,
05:58the bowling partnership between
06:00the opener and opener
06:02should be good.
06:05What do you think about the second change?
06:10What will be the first change?
06:14The first change is definitely in front of you.
06:17Harish Rao has come back
06:19and the bowling is stronger.
06:21But in today's match,
06:23we will see how much mistakes
06:25have been overcome
06:27in the triangular series.
06:29We will see how much mistakes
06:31have been overcome.
06:33It is important to see
06:35whether you have learned from there or not.
06:37Whether you have learned or not.
06:39Whether you have learned from there or not.
06:41Whether you have learned or not.
06:43In the first 10 overs,
06:45it is very important that
06:47Kane Williamson and Darren Mitchell
06:49come to bat.
06:50The batting line will be under pressure.
06:52The last ball of the over.
06:54We are seeing it together.
06:56It was a good over.
06:58It was a good over.
07:00There are 8 in 2 overs.
07:02It is very important.
07:04If you bowl with a new ball,
07:06you will get stuck.
07:08They are playing with planning.
07:10They must have targeted
07:12Daniel Vittori and Saklian Mushtaq.
07:14We have only one spinner.
07:16They are playing very carefully.
07:18They have brought a plan.
07:20They look like a complete team.
07:22To keep them easy,
07:24it is important to bowl from the top.
07:26There is one more thing.
07:28Today,
07:30we will have to do it a little differently.
07:32You talked about the first change.
07:34You can gamble at this time.
07:36The left-hander has played the convoy.
07:38You can get the ball from
07:40Salman Ali Agha.
07:42You will get it from Salman Ali Agha?
07:44Do it differently.
07:46They have done research.
07:48This is the ball.
07:50We will hit it later.
07:52You can get the first over.
07:54The game can be changed.
07:56It can be a strategy.
07:58It can be like Ibrar.
08:00Ibrar is the main spinner.
08:02He is a mystery spinner.
08:04He may not be able to play it easily.
08:06But it is a good option.
08:08Salman has bowled in the final.
08:10The convoy was not looking easy.
08:12You can gamble.
08:14These are the chances
08:16to be an active captain.
08:18To be brave.
08:20I think you can do it.
08:22It is important to be proactive.
08:24Kamran is using the word active.
08:26You can change your plan.
08:28When we say
08:30that there is no depth in our bowling.
08:32The preparation
08:34is different.
08:36You can surprise the opponent.
08:38You have to do out-of-the-box things.
08:40You have to take wickets.
08:42You have to show desperation.
08:44You have to show that you should get wickets.
08:46You have to come in the middle.
08:48You have to show how Darryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson
08:50play peacefully.
08:52If they play 20-25 overs,
08:54it is a good platform
08:56for New Zealand.
08:58They can build on it.
09:00You don't have to do that.
09:02You have to stop it.
09:04I have a question for Kami.
09:06We have seen two overs.
09:08Are these two slips right?
09:10Two slips are fine.
09:12There are two new balls.
09:14You go for at least 3-4 overs.
09:16You take chances.
09:18You do out-of-the-box only
09:20when you are in a catching position.
09:22When you have an attacking field.
09:24I was saying that the second slip should be in the lane.
09:26The way they are making the angle for Shaheen.
09:28Then take it out from the second slip.
09:30Take it out from the middle.
09:34Basit is right.
09:36You can do it.
09:38But for me...
09:40You should stop for at least 2-3 overs.
09:42Basit has raised another
09:44valid point.
09:46Harish Rauf is coming
09:48after an injury.
09:50You should give him a cushion.
09:52There are 2-3 players in the powerplay.
09:54He should get some support.
09:56It won't be easy.
09:58It will be off-line.
10:00It is important to give him protection.
10:02Proactive captains
10:04need to do this.
10:06The third over is on.
10:08The initial
10:10feeling
10:12is that
10:14we are looking at a big score.
10:16It will be a high-scoring game.
10:18They are playing with a lot of plan.
10:20They are not taking any shot.
10:22The ball is going
10:24in their radar.
10:26They have made a set-up
10:28against the bowlers.
10:30To break this set-up,
10:32they should do it differently.
10:34Basit will agree
10:36on one thing.
10:38If you don't get a swing,
10:40you don't leave the wicket.
10:42You bowl wicket to wicket
10:44with the fielding in front.
10:46Shaheen is scoring
10:48all around.
10:50He wants to
10:52experiment.
10:54Our bowlers
10:56don't understand
10:58how to bowl according to the condition.
11:00The captain should be
11:02active and proactive.
11:04We don't need to
11:06explain these things.
11:08This is international cricket.
11:10As a bowler, you should think
11:12about it.
11:14They will take a risk.
11:16There will be chances of getting out.
11:18We are seeing these things.
11:20No one is implementing it.
11:22No one is thinking about it.
11:24That's why we say
11:26to pay attention to this.
11:28If you want to compete
11:30at the top level,
11:32then you have to
11:34look at the basics.
11:36These are the basics.
11:38At this time,
11:40they shouldn't get easy runs.
11:42Even if it's a single.
11:44Your field placement
11:46should be such that
11:48they go for the ball.
11:50If they go for the ball,
11:52there is a chance of getting out.
11:54Otherwise, if a good ball
11:56swings or seems,
11:58I find it difficult.
12:00Their easy way
12:02of playing
12:04should be disturbed.
12:06You should tell them to
12:08take a risk and take a shot.
12:10Kamran is saying
12:12to keep wicket to wicket
12:14when you don't get anything from the pitch.
12:16This is very important.
12:18Shaheen has a lot of experience.
12:20He is a 62-year-old international.
12:22Who will teach him?
12:24He will have to learn himself.
12:26He will have to face his mistakes.
12:28They are on the short ball.
12:30If you get a short ball on this pitch,
12:32they will easily
12:34turn it into a square.
12:36You have to unruffle them.
12:38It's difficult to
12:40disturb the Kiwis.
12:42They are cool-minded players.
12:44They are cool-minded as a nation.
12:46To unruffle them,
12:48you have to
12:50disturb them
12:52with out-of-the-box things.
12:54Fakhar has gone out.
12:56Hopefully, it's nothing serious.
12:58We will update you
13:00as soon as we get an update.
13:02I want to know
13:04what will be the score
13:06because Rizwan has won the toss.
13:08He must have a plan.
13:10On what score will he stop
13:12so that we can comfortably win?
13:14Looking at my team,
13:16my batting line-up
13:18and their bowling,
13:20I don't think we should chase
13:22more than 270-280.
13:24I am saying
13:26that we have to
13:28keep this target.
13:30Off-line, you are bowling
13:32on the legs.
13:34You are giving boundaries
13:36in every over.
13:38You are making mistakes.
13:40You are not giving them a chance
13:42to make a mistake.
13:44I don't think we should
13:46score more than this.
13:48Even if it's 300,
13:50Fakhar's fitness will be
13:52that our main players are not there.
13:54There is only one opener.
13:56He is an opener.
13:58We will take out more.
14:00He has a lot of openers.
14:02According to you and Kami,
14:04you should see
14:06your bowler's bowling.
14:08His bowling will be different.
14:10His plan,
14:12his spot...
14:14He won't move from there.
14:16He won't move. He will say,
14:18the batsman should try on us.
14:20We are giving him runs.
14:22This is the difference in their bowling.
14:24And about 270,
14:26keep in mind
14:28that Fakhar has gone out.
14:30Even if it was 300,
14:32Kami and I would have said, Fakhar is there.
14:34He is a match changer.
14:36I hope it's not that serious.
14:38Sir, I am saying
14:40that you have to keep everything in mind.
14:42Sir, against this bowling lineup,
14:44we haven't bowled more than
14:46250-240.
14:48That was a week ago.
14:50Keep that in mind.
14:52He has complete bowling.
14:54No doubt, it's an ICC event.
14:56There is pressure on Pakistan's
14:58batting lineup. We haven't bowled more than 300.
15:00If we had bowled 300,
15:02he would have said 350.
15:04I would have said, Pakistan has so much ability,
15:06he can do it.
15:08Kami, in the World Cup,
15:10in 2023, because of the rain...
15:12In that, Fakhar Zaman...
15:14Sir, Ludo and Mahesh were there.
15:16Ludo has a small ground.
15:18Look at the pitch.
15:20I remember, at that time,
15:22Kamran wrote,
15:24such a big pitch.
15:26Such a big ground.
15:28It was a big score.
15:30Thank God, we won the DL.
15:32It rained and Fakhar Zaman's sixes hit.
15:34We won.
15:36New Zealand will try to bowl more than 300.
15:38Pakistan should try
15:40and will try to keep us within 300.
15:42This is obvious.
15:44Pakistan will try to
15:46at least stop us from scoring.
15:48But...
15:50Let's watch the live broadcast.
15:54Let's watch that too.
15:56The fourth over is going on.
15:5824.
16:00And...
16:0424 runs have been played.
16:06And in the entire Triangular Series,
16:08he is not in such a good form.
16:10He is playing at 15.
16:12Good to see him, Vindra.
16:14He is sitting outside.
16:16Yes.
16:18I was thinking about one thing.
16:20He came in front.
16:22The people...
16:24Without any purpose,
16:26fake news, lights...
16:28What is he going to talk about?
16:30It's the same pole.
16:32Lights have been changed.
16:34If the position is wrong during the day,
16:36it will be seen.
16:38I don't understand
16:40why he is making an issue.
16:42He shouldn't make an issue for no reason.
16:44Basit, do you agree
16:46that it was because of the lights
16:48or do you think it could have happened to anyone?
16:50Whatever he is saying,
16:52he was wearing glasses in the light.
16:54I was laughing.
16:56Who is he?
16:58When the ball was hit,
17:00where were his hands?
17:02Right in front of the face.
17:04It was a flat shot.
17:06The ball was not high, it was flat.
17:08It was bent.
17:10It's a good thing
17:12that there was no serious injury.
17:14It will be available in future.
17:16It was not hit on the eye.
17:18It was hit on the forehead.
17:20It was safe.
17:22Let me tell you honestly.
17:24Our lights were on.
17:26We thought the lights were off.
17:30Lights can be switched off anywhere.
17:32We were playing in 2005
17:34against West Indies.
17:36The ball was off.
17:38The match was stopped.
17:40It can happen anywhere.
17:42But the technique counts in fielding.
17:44The technique he had
17:46could have hit anyone.
17:48The start
17:50of New Zealand
17:52can prove
17:54dangerous.
17:56The comeback
17:58that he made
18:00was not a century.
18:02It was a great 97 inning.
18:04The role he was given
18:06was playing that role.
18:08The bad ball
18:10gets hit automatically.
18:12Now it's done by Williamson.
18:14When the young is out
18:16and Williamson comes
18:18then Conway opens his hands.
18:20I can see a plan.
18:22I think
18:24the better he does
18:26the different he does for Conway.
18:28Conway is playing that role
18:30that he used to play in Great Javed.
18:32He was standing at one end
18:34and then Inzi came.
18:36He was running
18:38and he was keeping one end safe.
18:40That's the plan.
18:42The one who plays better
18:44and takes time
18:46will win this tournament.
18:48I see.
18:50You think
18:52the players who take turns
18:54will win.
18:56It's a great opportunity for Babar Azam
18:58because he also takes turns.
19:00Don't you see Saud?
19:02Don't you see Agha Salman?
19:04He is in a good form.
19:06I am talking about form
19:08not Babar's form.
19:10He doesn't want to listen to Babar.
19:12He says all are Babar.
19:14Babar will win Pakistan
19:16by making the 20th century.
19:18Two days ago
19:20Hassan Ali tweeted
19:22that Babar will have to make it.
19:24It's a historical moment
19:26and it's a part of history.
19:28That's right.
19:30Do you think
19:32the Champions Trophy
19:34is for players like
19:36Kane Williamson,
19:38Conway,
19:40Joe Root, Virat Kohli?
19:42Virat Kohli is playing there.
19:44Do you think so?
19:4650 over game and test cricket
19:48is all about technique.
19:50The one who has better technique
19:52performs better.
19:54Why are their names so big?
19:56Their stats show their performance.
19:58They show it to everyone.
20:00Everyone can see their performance.
20:02How single-handedly they win
20:04the match.
20:06Because they are mentally strong
20:08and have a solid technique base.
20:10They can handle pressure
20:12and run.
20:14No matter the condition,
20:16they have a strong technique base
20:18and can manage themselves.
20:20That's the sign of great players.
20:22Kami is a wicket-keeper.
20:24He is standing so far back.
20:26You are a keeper.
20:28He should be a little
20:30ahead of you.
20:32Look,
20:34a sleeper stands
20:36behind the wicket-keeper.
20:38The job of the wicket-keeper
20:40is to decide
20:42where the ball should be kept.
20:44Should it be on his thigh height
20:46or tummy height?
20:48If he does it there,
20:50the keeper will automatically
20:52pick the ball from his shin.
20:54That's wrong.
20:56The coaching staff should tell
20:58the team management.
21:00I spoke to the fielding coach
21:02and he sent me a message
21:04two years ago.
21:06I think he told the team
21:08that Rizwan is in the field
21:10and the distance should be right.
21:12But you can see
21:14that the ball should be picked
21:16from the shin.
21:18The ball should be picked
21:20from the shin.
21:22The sleeper should be
21:24behind the wicket-keeper.
21:26Let's take a break.
21:28The match is on.
21:30Don't go anywhere.
21:36Welcome back once again
21:38to our special transmission.
21:40Good news from the center
21:42that Fakhar Zaman is back.
21:44We were praying that
21:46nothing serious happens.
21:48He must have used a magic spray.
21:50He is needed in fielding
21:52and batting.
21:54The 7th over match
21:56is on.
21:58Basit, how is the performance
22:00and the bowling so far?
22:02Both the fast bowlers
22:04didn't leave any impact.
22:06There is only one thing
22:08that is missing here.
22:10Saklen and
22:12Vittori.
22:14It is very important
22:16to score 30 over.
22:18Looking at this pitch,
22:20do you still think that
22:22the spinner's role is important?
22:24Even before bowling?
22:26I can understand that
22:28Santner and Bressbill
22:30will disturb you.
22:32There can be an advantage
22:34of the view.
22:36If you can see
22:38that there is no difference,
22:40you can experiment.
22:42You can gamble.
22:44If you don't gamble,
22:46how will you bowl?
22:48Good teams and good bowlers
22:50counter the dew.
22:52On Saturday,
22:54Santner took 3 wickets,
22:56Bressbill took 2
22:58and Glenn took 1.
23:00They try to get the game skid
23:02on the seam and
23:04take LBW or bold.
23:06Kamran, your take on this?
23:08Pakistan team
23:10has only one chance.
23:12Under light,
23:14there will be dew and
23:16no reverse swing.
23:18Pakistan team can do
23:20reverse swing.
23:22You have to watch the ball
23:24carefully.
23:26I think spinners
23:28will play a big role
23:30in reverse swing.
23:32If Pakistan team
23:34doesn't succeed
23:36in taking wickets,
23:38I think it will be a big loss.
23:40Both fast bowlers
23:42took 3 overs.
23:44Abrar took 3 runs in his first over.
23:46Our spinner took a good start.
23:48Shaheen also took 3 runs in his first over.
23:50It's not a big deal.
23:52If we talk about reverse swing,
23:54the fielders should throw
23:56one bounce.
23:58They should implement
24:00one bounce and two bounce.
24:02Basit bhai,
24:04Pakistan team does one bounce
24:06professionally.
24:08They listen to other things
24:10and take it from here.
24:12That's right.
24:14It's a historic moment.
24:16Let's hope Pakistan team
24:18challenges the other team
24:20and does something out of the box.
24:22Only then something can happen.
24:24That's all for now.
24:26The match is on.
24:28See you at 5 pm.
24:30Take care. Allah Hafiz.
24:38In the end.
