Pakistan Vs United Arab Emirates

Here is going to be the match between Pakistan and United Arab Emirates, it would be exciting game as Pakistan lost their last game against Afghanistan and this match will tell them how good they are and how can they do to win the final match, it is clear that the final going to play between Pakistan and Afghanistan, no chance for U.A.E as they have to back to back their next two games with good run rate to qualify into the final and this is impossible. I am really waiting for today's game and hope that Pakistan will do something.

Pakistan team has enough power to win this match today, because Pakistan team's squad is very strong. Because the second match of this series was held and Pakistan and United Arab Emirates team faced each other. Pakistan team won the second match, and in this match Pakistan team won by a large margin.
Especially Pakistan team can win this match, because Pakistan team loves to show their best performance in front of the audience. In today's match Pakistan team will definitely perform aggressively and will win.

Zimbabwe lost the first T20I against Sri Lanka today, if Zimbabwe could have increased their score more, then Sri Lanka's victory would have been very difficult. But Sri Lanka easily won their match and advanced in the series, a huge victory for Sri Lanka by four wickets. Brian Bennett, the batsman of Zimbabwe, batted brilliantly, scored 81 runs, and Zimbabwe set a target of 175 runs. Sri Lanka batted well in the opening to meet Zimbabwe's target, if they had opened badly, their victory would have been incomplete. But due to the good batsmen, Sri Lanka easily won the match, and advanced in the T20I series.

Yes, Zimbabwe played well, there is nothing wrong with that. But Sri Lanka played much better than Zimbabwe. They have achieved such a big victory by just 4 wickets. Sri Lanka is doing very well day by day, if this continues, maybe Sri Lanka will be able to do something better very soon. Zimbabwe's bowling department seems a little weak to me. If Zimbabwe could have strengthened their bowling department a little, then the chances of Sri Lanka winning with this run would have been much less. Because the target of 175 runs in T20 is not a small run at all.

We need to appreciate how Zimbabwe performed against Sri Lanka on the 1st T20I. Even though Zimbabwe lost the three ODIs, they were too close games. Zimbabwe indeed have benefited from playing with stronger teams. They improved themselves and has been doing well.
Batting performance of Zimbabwe was particularly good with one man, Brian Bennett contributing the most. They bowled good too, if it were not for the 41 for 16 from Kamindu Mendis, it could have been close. A total of 26 runs were given in the 17th over which turned the game away from Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe team performed quite well today, scoring 175 runs and giving Sri Lanka a lot of challenges. If Sri Lanka team performs well today, then of course there is a high chance of winning, but if they perform badly, then there is a possibility of losing by a large margin.
If Zimbabwe team wants to win this match today, then they will have to apply a lot of pressure from the bowling side, especially the fast bowlers and spinner bowlers, the victory of Zimbabwe team today will depend on them.

Zimbabwen side has performing really ordinary in recent time because some of thier player were doing thier job quite sensibly, but still they have several weak zone whome can push thier team to defeat even having good number on board for defend, we have already seen at ODI how tough they created situation for Siri Lankan. But it's some kind of bad luck or curse for Zimbabwe, because they almost filled every required blank but at the end unable to divert results in thier favor, it's first defeat at shorter format but Zimbabwen have to much improved at bowling in order to make difference at results

Pakistan team has enough power to win this match today, because Pakistan team's squad is very strong. Because the second match of this series was held and Pakistan and United Arab Emirates team faced each other. Pakistan team won the second match, and in this match Pakistan team won by a large margin.
Especially Pakistan team can win this match, because Pakistan team loves to show their best performance in front of the audience. In today's match Pakistan team will definitely perform aggressively and will win.

This young team is really good, this is the new era of the Pakistan team in T20 format. Firstly they beat Afghanistan with such a good run rate in the very first game and in the next match, they were good against UAE too. But as it is the team Pakistan, very unpredictable this time Pakistan lost against Afghanistan, but Pakistan can beat Afghanistan in the final match and take the revenge, let's see what will happen. Ups and downs are a part of the game, and especially for the Pakistan team, it's normal to get mini attacks like this.

Here is going to be the match between Pakistan and United Arab Emirates, it would be exciting game as Pakistan lost their last game against Afghanistan and this match will tell them how good they are and how can they do to win the final match, it is clear that the final going to play between Pakistan and Afghanistan, no chance for U.A.E as they have to back to back their next two games with good run rate to qualify into the final and this is impossible. I am really waiting for today's game and hope that Pakistan will do something.

In this series, Pakistan played a very bad match recently in which they had improved their strength by playing well which had now become poor, but in today match Pakistan has made a very good comeback. If they are as strong in their bowling as they are in their batting, then they can achieve a very good victory. Pakistan batsmen have scored 171 runs, in which their batsmen faced the bowling with a lot of effort and difficulty and set a good target. If their bowling has strength and toughness then they can achieve a good victory. It is not difficult for Pakistan to defeat UAE, but in today match UAE can also victory by playing very well. Pakistan poor bowling will make this match interesting, but Pakistan will have to play well and work hard which is good enough to make them in the first position.

Despite the bad start, Pakistan's batting lineup is pretty great as they were not letting the run rate down, whether they are losing wickets but Farhan is a bit making multiple mistakes, he is an opener and playing so good but the entire team depends on him as to be opener is not a cup of tea, it is really big responsibility. He tried to do his best but in the search for more runs, in the hunger for more runs, he often loses his wickets but however it is still a much better opening pair compared to Muhammad Rizwan. Fakhar Zaman was the key player in the innings who made 77 not out quick runs.

Pakistan have set a target of 172 runs. This is enough to win. Even then, since the UAE bowling order is not very strong. Pakistan should have scored close to 200. `Fakhar Zaman played a perfect innings. He scored 77 runs off 44 balls and remained unbeaten. I don't see any chance of UAE winning. They are trying to reduce the margin of defeat. They scored 58 runs in 10 overs for the loss of one wicket. Alishan Sharafu is batting quite slowly. This UAE opener scored 28 runs off 29 balls and remained unbeaten.

Hassan Nawaz the new comer is playing with mindset that performing in one or two matches will reserve his seat in squad that's why there is no need for consistency. Pakistan might win today's game easily but defeat against Afghanistan must be an eyeopening for PCB. If Pakistan team can't face Afghanistan then it's very difficult for them to beat arch rivals in Asia cup. Clearly Pakistan is going through his worst era and before that we haven't seen Pakistan losing games so easily against underdogs.

Pakistan team has enough power to win this match today, because Pakistan team's squad is very strong. Because the second match of this series was held and Pakistan and United Arab Emirates team faced each other. Pakistan team won the second match, and in this match Pakistan team won by a large margin.
Especially Pakistan team can win this match, because Pakistan team loves to show their best performance in front of the audience. In today's match Pakistan team will definitely perform aggressively and will win.

I agree with you that Pakistan has performed quite well, and scoring 171 runs in the T20I is a very strong team's target. Pakistan is already ready to perform at its best, but United Arab Emirates is quite aggressive. They are performing for a long time by controlling the wickets, but United Arab Emirates cannot win with such a performance. The already aggressive batsmen have been out, now it is foolish to expect good performance from the weak batsmen. So I think Pakistan can be lucky enough to win in today's match.

Clearly Pakistan is going through his worst era and before that we haven't seen Pakistan losing games so easily against underdogs.    

On the 11th over, when Hassan Nawaz got out, it looks like Pakistan team is back on their poor performance. When they won the early games of this Tri Nation Series, it was like they will win all the matches and that time each player performing good but now they were so poor at that time these were mine thoughts because they were also not hitting shots, just taking single and doubles and that is also quite good as compare to the situation but UAE team keeper is really good, he used to make so much pressure on batsmen.

[Mahdirakib]

I agree with you that Pakistan has performed quite well, and scoring 171 runs in the T20I is a very strong team's target.

Pakistan had given a decent target today. It wasn't a big target which could be addressed as a very strong team's target. Especially when they are playing against a weak team like UAE. Pakistan and Afghanistan will play in the final of this tri-series. I hope it will be a competitive match. UAE hasn't won any matches in this series yet. They have only one match left, and I believe they will lose it for sure.

The United Arab Emirates team is mostly comprised of rejects from India and Pakistan. So you can't expect them to perform well against the established teams. The Emirates Cricket Board has a lot of money, and this enables them to import players from the sub-continent. But despite this money power, they have performed poorly when compared to other associate nations such as Netherlands and Namibia. The only positive for them during today's match as Alishan Sharafu's innings of 68.

Yeah in UAE T20 Tri Series 5th game was won by Pakistan with a fabulous performance by the team against UAE. Pakistan opened with 28 runs partnership then one down player Fakhar was in great form. He hitted  12 powerful boundaries scoring 77 runs and he remained not out till the end. UAE eliminated 5 players at 171 runs which was a great lead. UAE opened with Alishan and Waseem who scored a great 41 runs partnership but the middle order players couldn't make it weel. They wasted many balls in saving the wickets but they forgot to score boundaries to win this game. The opening was great but as the game progressed Pakistan's  bowlers dominated the game by eliminating 7 players at 140 runs and they ran short of balls. UAE could win this game if their batsmen haven't wasted may balls to save.

Pakistan have set a target of 172 runs. This is enough to win. Even then, since the UAE bowling order is not very strong. Pakistan should have scored close to 200. `Fakhar Zaman played a perfect innings. He scored 77 runs off 44 balls and remained unbeaten. I don't see any chance of UAE winning. They are trying to reduce the margin of defeat. They scored 58 runs in 10 overs for the loss of one wicket. Alishan Sharafu is batting quite slowly. This UAE opener scored 28 runs off 29 balls and remained unbeaten.

Finally after a long failure run fakhar able to deliver his impactful innings at crucial situation, where team really struggled to settle down and have full hold over situation. Saim , Salman and Hasan once against failed to give a hand to team in order to have good number on board, as already we have seen in previous match how uae reach too closed to required. Anyway Pakistan has successfully beat them for a second time with same margin of 31 runs in both matches and thus Pakistan has successfully qualified to face Afghanistan once again at final right before first match of Asia cup. It will be really excited as both side has single win and that will be deciding one.

Yesterday in T20I match in UAE Pakistan defeated United Arab Emirates by 31 runs. Pakistan batted first and scored 171 runs with Fakhar Zaman making impressive 77 runs. In return UAE could only manage 140 runs mainly due to Pakistan strong bowling especially from Abrar Ahmed who took four key wickets. This win was very important for Pakistan as it helped them bounce back from recent loss to Afghanistan and secured their spot in  final against them. And I hope they will beat Afghanistan in Final.

This win was very important for Pakistan as it helped them bounce back from recent loss to Afghanistan and secured their spot in  final against them. And I hope they will beat Afghanistan in Final.

Only one more game to go in this tournament and that is between Afghanistan and UAE. Odds are very much in favour of Afghanistan for that match but in T20I anything can happen. Final will be played on 7th Sep and it will be interesring to see whether Pakistan is able to beat strong Afghanistan in the final.

Pakistan won the game quite easily and that's because Fakhar Zaman and Nawaz batting followed by good bowling from Abrar. Abrar bowled best spell of his T20I career by picking 4 wikcets and gave away just 9 runs.

Bangladesh has performed quite well in the first two matches and has defeated the Netherlands by a large margin in both matches and has already secured the series. Today is the third match of the T20 series between Netherlands vs Bangladesh where Bangladesh will also be ahead of the Netherlands before entering the field today. Bangladesh is batting in the second innings in the first two matches so today we expect Bangladesh to get a chance to bat in the first innings and we can see a big score from Bangladesh batsmen against New Zealand. Since Bangladesh has definitely won the first two matches, we can definitely see some changes from Bangladesh in the third match. The toss will be held shortly and after the toss, it will be clear by looking at the starting XI of both teams which team is entering the field with how many changes in the third and final T20 match.

Now game is stop and delay due to rain and in this 3 rd game,  Netherlands team gave batting line to Bangladesh team by winning toss. Bangladesh teamm lost their 1 st opener wickets and Saif did not show struggle and made only 12 runs. But other opener batsman Litton is playing quite brilliant and in next few balls he will complete half century and now he scored 42 runs in 16 balls only and hitted five 4s and two 6s. If he continues his batting lineup with same spirit and he will complete century in very few balls and holding on to his wicket is also important. If that happens, then winning this game will become impossible for Netherlands. Bangladesh team have made 60 runs in 4.1 overs and losing one wicket. I think target will be around 180 or 200 above.
 

In the third and final T20 match, Bangladesh could have scored a big score against the Netherlands but unfortunately the first innings was not completed due to rain and the game was called off where Bangladesh had finished the match due to rain, meaning that the intensity of the rain was so high that the rest of the match could not be played.

Bangladesh has achieved excellent results in the last three T20 series, first Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 2-1, then they defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 and again they defeated the Netherlands 2-0 at home. Apart from the Netherlands, we can consider Pakistan and Sri Lanka as fairly strong teams in T20 cricket, in that case since Bangladesh was able to defeat all these teams, we can definitely expect something good from Bangladesh in the Asia Cup.

This win was very important for Pakistan as it helped them bounce back from recent loss to Afghanistan and secured their spot in  final against them. And I hope they will beat Afghanistan in Final.

This was more or less what I expected. United Arab Emirates is simply not at the same level as other associate nations. First of all, they don't have any native (citizen) players in their squad. Therefore they import players from the subcontinent on a temporary basis. Very few of these players remain for more than 3-4 years. So there is no team bonding as such, and this has a negative impact on their performance. They should take initiatives to spread cricket among the citizen population, else they will remain on the fringes.

Yeah in UAE T20 Tri Series 5th game was won by Pakistan with a fabulous performance by the team against UAE. Pakistan opened with 28 runs partnership then one down player Fakhar was in great form. He hitted  12 powerful boundaries scoring 77 runs and he remained not out till the end. UAE eliminated 5 players at 171 runs which was a great lead. UAE opened with Alishan and Waseem who scored a great 41 runs partnership but the middle order players couldn't make it weel. They wasted many balls in saving the wickets but they forgot to score boundaries to win this game. The opening was great but as the game progressed Pakistan's  bowlers dominated the game by eliminating 7 players at 140 runs and they ran short of balls. UAE could win this game if their batsmen haven't wasted may balls to save.

I have noticed that Abrar Ahmed was bowling so amazingly and peacefully, he was preferring to get as many dot balls as it could be possible, but he used to give back of length, ball onto the front foot with little bit of touch of spin and kind of air swing, dominating the batsmen's mindset and batsmen went for six but got out. Muhammad Nawaz also a good player, his comeback was exactly what kind of player Pakistan is looking for. He got the wicket and his score had a significant impact on the game.

[laspol65]

Pakistan won the game quite easily and that's because Fakhar Zaman and Nawaz batting followed by good bowling from Abrar. Abrar bowled best spell of his T20I career by picking 4 wikcets and gave away just 9 runs.

Abrar Ahmed played a significant role in this game, the key point for Pakistan to win was the 13th over. In the 13th over, Abrar Ahmed took two wickets, and both wickets were taken by an attacking batsman. In this game, Abrar Ahmed took four wickets, Pakistan has proven itself once again and is at the top of the points table.
Pakistan has performed extremely well in both batting and bowling, and is the strongest team in the series. Basically, Pakistan has won most of the matches they have faced with ease.
