Asia Cup 2018 - UAE (September 2018)

Agree with the folks above hardly finding any interest to watch this tournament. Just checking the scores occasionally to stay updated.

Meanwhile how good is Shoaib Malik! It baffles me sometimes he wasn't the part of the regular Pakistani setup pre 2015 WC.

Anyone know a good website to watch the match? (From USA)

Great knock by him. Pakistan need to win this match for fans. Mickey Arthur is the key for rise.

That partnership put them in a good position, Kuldeep did very well. We will need to bat sensibly, Rohit and Dhawan will have to stay there for longer. Should be a good match though. No idea why have they not included KL, he should be playing every match here.

And we must win.

India did well to restrict Pakistan when it looked like they might've got 270 when Sarfraz and Malik were going with their big partnership. It's good to see the Indian bowling attack being able to squeeze the opposition with dots.

This is still a reasonable score. Pakistan will be fired up from that loss, they will come back hard. I would say it's a 50-50 chance here for either team.

That was some high class death bowling particularly from Bumrah.

 

[SaiSrini]

I believe Pakistan are atleast 30 short here. Pitch looks fine. The fall of wickets at the wrong times (due to the good bowling) has really put them back. Yes they have very good bowlers, but India with their batting lineup should definitely have their noses well ahead and if they continue their form of this tournament, should ease through the target

US Hotstar (us.hotstar.com). They're the ones streaming it legally in the US. Their subscription is really good and gets you some great Indian entertainment along with the cricket.

Anything below 250 is tough to defend.

 

[Master Khan]

With batting line that India have this score shouldn't be a problem. Pakistan should have got at least over 250.

 

[Villain]

It's still anyone's game at the moment although we have an edge. Survive the first few overs, score some 70 odd runs in the start and we will win this.

 

[Aoun13]

Pretty ordinary score in the end by Pakistan. I can feel for the top three batsmen, they were all genuinely unlucky. The rest of the batsmen were undone by some excellent bowling.
It will be another walk in the park for Sharma and company.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Rohit Sharma as a captain has been fantastic in this competition! Much much better than Kohli in crunch situations and level headed too. Although it will never happen but I really hope he is made full time captain in limited overs.

 

[El Loco]

Just when you think Pakistan have finally brushed up in the field they start bottling it again in the big games.

 

[LiveLoveABD]

I remember how much I was slandered when I said during the CT that Pak deserved to win but it was a one off and that India is head and shoulders above them as a cricket team in all formats. India vs Pakistan is all hype these days. It's a bit like the late 80's and early 90's. At the time, Pakistan would mostly win and now it's the other way round.

Also, I don't know about you guys but I think Sarfaraz is an awful captain and Malik should bat 4 permanently.
