Asia cup qualifiers 2022

[Prince EWS]

holy **** they chased 105 in just 7.5 overs. Insanity.

So if we lose to UAE they'll make it to the Asia Cup, even tho we toweled them up.

****ing UAE lol

UA ****ing E

EHSAN KHAN YOU LEGEND

absolute hall of famer all time great Hong Konger. Takes the first over in the biggest game of the summer and nails Chirag Suri. Solid keeping by Scotty, reliable as ever as well.

GA YAU BOYS!

strange move to give Haroon the 2nd over, especially since he's playing through a stress fracture! We have Ateeq, Ayush and Aizaz all in the team too.

Has gone poorly here, zzz

 

[cnerd123]

yesssss AYUSH brilliant start

2 down! Big wicket!!

 

[cnerd123]

Ayush on fire!! Such a great new ball prospect for us. 3 down!!

We had Kuwait 57/6 and they still got 151 tho so lot of work to be done, but that's the 3 most dangerous bats in the hut inside 15 balls. Awesome start.

 

[cnerd123]

WHAT A CATCH!! Babar Hayat the big man!

Amazing performance so far. Plz keep it up

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Junaid Siddique feels like the sort of Pakistan regen who'd take 150 county championship wickets in a season on International Cricket Captain

 

[cnerd123]

Yasim deserved that. So good by Kinchit. Excellent stuff, keep it going!

 

[cnerd123]

UAE just starting to recover now which is worrying. Never confident chasing above 130 tbh. Can't fault our commitment in the field today tho!

 

[cnerd123]

**** why is Haroon bowling ffs. 2 overs for 33. Didn't need him to bowl, we have other options. Shouldn't even be in the team if he's got a stress fracture...

 

[cnerd123]

we've not been good with our death bowling. selection of bowlers or skill execution. Haroon's injury probably a factor tbf. He's not bowled well today and Nizakat's been forced to get some overs out of him in other phases of the game, rather than in the death where he's usually quite good.

Aizaz has barely bowled. I get he's not been in great form but surely he couldn't have gone worse than Haroon, or than Ayush here at the death. Must be carrying an injury too?

But urgh we've let go of another **** to of runs in the back 5 here. Another steep chase. All the hardwork in the first 15 overs getting undone.

ah i see the problem

 

[cnerd123]

bears repeating - Ehsan Khan is a ****ing legend

ah i see the problem

he's been captain all summer. relatively new to the role but that's what the coaches are there for I suppose. Don't get Aizaz bowling just the 1 over today when Haroon's bowled 2 and Ayush was made to bowl one at the death.

Scotty is incredible behind the stumps. ****ing fantastic work there.

 

[cnerd123]

And here's Aizaz, and wicket first ball.

UAE have enough I reckon. This will be a tough chase. Their bowling is way better than Kuwait. My hope is that their shoulders drop once they realise they cannot qualify and they just give us the game...

 

[cnerd123]

lol 2 wickets in 3 balls. why the **** did Haroon and Ayush bowl those overs in the last 6. Sigh.

Less than 150 is exactly what Nizakat asked for. Let's do this please. CMON BOYS!

 

[cnerd123]

two inside edges past the stumps for 4 in the first over

dare i dream

lmao and now 4 byes

 

[cnerd123]

okay this is almost too easy what's happening here

 

[cnerd123]

UAE officially eliminated!

Seems like they've given up. Finish this off boys! Ga yau!

 

[cnerd123]

timely six by Babar! Pressure was just starting to build again.

44 needed in 6 overs. Game's far from done. Meiyappan's spell is over, so finish this off boys.
