Pakistan vs. Australia | 3rd T20 (D/N) | November 8, 2019 | Pre-Match Discussion Thread

Some changes are must.

Useless Fakhar, Harris and Asif should make way for Imam & Khushdil etc.

Also, I would drop Irfan and have Hasnain/Musa.

 

Pakistan likely to make two changes for third Australia T20I

Pakistan’s team management has begun the process of analysing the shortcomings of the side and are likely to make two changes for the third and final T20I against Australia in Perth.

Struggling opening batsman Fakhar Zaman is likely to be replaced by fellow opener Imamul Haq while middle-order batsman Asif Ali could be replaced by hard-hitting batsman Khushdil Shah.

Both Zaman and Ali have failed to justify their place in the T20I side, with the left-hander scoring only 110 runs at a miserable average of 9 runs in his last 12 T20I innings, whereas the latter has accumulated just 331 runs at an average of 18 in 25 T20Is.

1. Imam
2. Khushdil
3. Babar
4. Harris
5. Iftikhar
6. Imad
7. Rizwan
8. Shadab
9. Wahab
10. Amir
11. Hasnain

3 changes: Imam, Khushdil and Hasnain in. Fakhar, Asif and Irfan out.

 

Lineup that is likely to play. This is from some reliable sources:

1. Imam
2. Khushdil
3. Babar
4. Iftikhar
5. Asif Ali
6. Rizwan
7. Imad Wasim
8. Usman Qadir
9. Amir
10. Hasnain
11. Mohd Irfan

I agree with all of them except Asif Ali. In my opinion, Harris Sohail should play in Asifs place!!

 

Irfan is likely to get another chance as he bowled better in 2nd game and it is Wahab Riaz on whom axe will fall upon!!

 

Harris Sohail although he may not be suited to t20 format but you need atleast one player in that middle order who can sambhalofy in case there is a collapse even in this format! He is one batsman who can pull team out of a mess and he can accelerate when he needs to! Harris Sohail is your next Misbah in the making~!~

 

This should be the playing 11 imo.

1. Imam
2. Khushdil
3. Babar
4. Iftikhar
5. Harris
6. Imad
7. Rizwan
8. Usman Qadir
9. Amir
10. Hasnain
11. Musa

 

Its important if we have to win we must give chances to youngsters as Australia have seen all of Mohd Irfan, Wahab Riaz and Shadab Khan. We must pick Hasnain, Musa and Usman Qadir in their places!!

 

Good changes!!

 

Australia has won the toss and will bowl first in Sydney!

Right team selected. Shadab could have been replaced with Usman Qadir as well! All great changes that were needed!!

 

Today's Team
Imam-ul-Haq
Babar Azam (c)
Mohammad Rizwan
Haris Sohail
Iftikhar Ahmed
Khushdil Shah
Imad Wasim
Shadab Khan
Mohammad Amir
Mohammad Hasnain
Muhammad Musa
I am very happy with this. I would like Rizwan to bat lower though.

 

Khushdil should open with Imamul Haq imo.

 

Last thing we want is Babar to get out early and you never know with opening,. The best get out early as openers!!

 

Batting order should be:

1. Imam
2. Khushdil
3. Babar
4. Harris
5. Iftikhar
6. Imad
7. Rizwan
8. Usman Qadir
9. Amir
10. Hasnain
11. Musa

 

Rizwan needs to go

 

Thank you to those that wanted Arthur gone. This what your home grown coach can do for you.

 

We are already winning this game if we manage to post a fighting total on the board! We have got a good bowling attack tonight! We need to bowl Imad Wasim through with that new ball, Amir to partner him. Shadab in middle overs with Musa and Iftikhar. Amir, Hasnain and Musa at the death.

 

3+ years for Arthur against 2 months for Misbah.

Don't you think it's unfair?

 

They are completely horrendous!!!

 

They will be okay. Give them some time.

At least we got rid of useless Sarfaraz.

 

Post a total on the board for your bowlers. Your bowlers will win you the game. Lot depends on Iftikhar tonight!!

 

For Pakistan, spinners hold the key for them!!

 

Got to squeeze Australia with spinners. 4 overs of Imad, Shadab and even 2 overs of Iftikhar will be [email protected]

 

The only guy in this team who can play short ball is Iftikhar

 

Saare maar maar ke out ho jao batting kiya Musa karega?

 

Harris Sohail threw it away imo. He had gotten a start!!

 

Need to get rid of Shadab as well.

 

Useless player.

 

Post even 120!!

 

Cmon hit it out of the [email protected] Take a swing Hasnain!!

 

Connect the last delivery atleast!!

 

Pakistan need to bowl Aus out now!

 

Unleash Hasnain with that new ball!!

 

Pakistan havent read this pitch at all! On this pitch, they needed a 4th pacer too!! They needed to play just one spinner here!!

 

This should have been the lineup here:

1. Imam
2. Khushdil
3. Babar
4. Harris
5. Iftikhar
6. Rizwan
7. Usman Qadir
8. Amir
9. Hasnain
10. Musa
11. Mohd Irfan

 

Lmao what start??

 

Harris Sohail should be the last person taking any risk! He is supposed to bat long whether its 50 overs, test match or even t20! His role in the team is to make others bat around him!! He should stick to his role! There were runs to be had and he had got in there for some time, he needed to cash in on the opportunity, he threw it away!!
