Asia Cup 2018 - UAE (September 2018)

[SaiSrini]

Was just about the share my thoughts on Jadeja's inclusion as well. I hope he gets picked as Pandya's replacement and performs big time. Always liked Jadeja and I think when in form he can offer a lot of balance to the lineup.

I would love it if we played the above team, but I don't see how we can accommodate Rahul in place of Rayudu if we cannot swap Rahul in place of DK. Rayudu clicked in both the games as well. I wish we would play Rahul, but I don't think this will happen

Between Chahal and Kuldeep, I would definitely go for Kuldeep.

I want to see Rahul back because IMO, he is going to be a crucial member in the WC squad and he needs as many games before the tournament.

Between Kuldeep and Chahal, I am also tilting towards Kuldeep. I wish Jadeja makes a very grand return back to the ODI side. Just like the hopes on Pandya are, Jadeja succeeding will be a massive shot in the arm for India.

Pandya gone out of Asia cup

I wish our no.8 and no.9 were capable of doing what their Afghanistani counterparts are doing right now ... a partnership of 50+ in 35 deliveries .. such a crucial partnership. Gives AFG a chance

160 for 7

Birthday boy Rashid and Naib on Fire for 8th wicket* so far put on 63*

Earlier Shakib 4 wickets and Shahidi 58.[DOUBLEPOST=1537455244][/DOUBLEPOST]Since 2015 Afghanistan defend 230
13 times (win) out off 17

We all know in t20I @ Dehradun, BD were white wash by AfG in different format but players were same.

Partnership 95* off 57

Birthday boy Rashid Khan hits 57* - jahapna tohfa Qabul karo

Well, they have given AFG much more than a chance here. They will fancy a win now for sure .. against a BD lineup sans Tamim

Wow Arghanistan! Ive never seen this much interest around the Asia Cup. The crowds for games involving Afghanistan and Bangladesh have been huge and have given this a feel of a big event so far. If the second round has a few close games, the Asia Cup as an entity would've worken up. With sides like HK, UAE and Nepal having shown signs of being competitive, Asia Cups of future could be much bigger. The ICC needs to wake up now and be more inclusive. I hope the ACC shows the way as this region has the most number of comptetitive sides.

So basically this is what happens when Hardik goes out. It completely changes the balance of the team. We are forced to keep only one of the two wrist-spinners in the team who have been our strength in the middle overs. I would pick Jadeja in place of Hardik and Deepak Chahar or Khaleel Ahmed comes in for Chahal. Playing both thw wrist spinners and Jadeja will be a bit too much of spin bowling.

Rashid want to make something special today. Beware Bangladesh. Without Mushfiq, let's see how they approach.

This is Afghanistan's Asia Cup, we will loose and everyone will loose against them.

Their batting is week.

 

[ShamiLoverGlipGlops]

Their batting is week.

They will apply themselves better. I do not see any lethal bowling at all in any teams.

They are terrific side,play cricket with top planning, wants to make sure not to loose more than 5 wickets while manage 150/160

Then they used their last weapon on NRR for last 10 overs, match after match.

During 2016 BD trashing, they have shinwari (81) so yesterday he was called but naib gave good support when Shinwari failed on difficult wicket very very slow with intense 41.8 heat.

Today yet another hot day in forecast side bats 2nd will surrender but Pakistan have only one spinner so my money on Afghanistan but if Pakistan bats first they will post big score.

Organizers not schedule any game of indian team in Abu Dhabi
