ICC Champions Trophy 2017

So India are feilding first with Mohammed Aamir coming back in the squad and India playing with the same side.
I think its best for Pakistan if they can get 280+ their bowling is quite capable of defending that in the big finals.Good luck for both the teams.
 
Won the toss, we will be chasing. Good decision to chase I believe.

As per cricinfo, Pakistan is going with just one change an that too of Amir instead of Raees. It will be a very dumb move to play 3 spinners against India on a pitch which according to experts is a belter. Congratulations to India in advance if we go with 3 spinners and I hope they score 400 if India bat first.

What is it with your pessimistic approach to Pakistani cricket in the CT?


So with Pakistan batting, I hope we can score 270+. I have a feeling the likes of Babar Azam might come good today as we're batting first. Let's set a good total and start on the right foot.

It's your captain and team management who are pessimistic. Who on the earth would like to go with 3 spinners against India when you can field 4 genuine seam bowlers? and that too when you are going to defend against the best chasers.
 
A big no ball by Bumrah. How costly it wll be ? Is that the luck Pakistan needed ?
 
Bumrah trying hard? Bowling yorkers. He should bowl to off stump. He got a wicket there, but it was no-ball.
 
Ever since that no-ball, India has been piss poor. Especially Bumrah has been all over the place. Its good for Pakistan that Zaman and Azhar are aggressive and putting pressure on our bowlers and India has gotten nervous.

The decision to play Bumrah over two specialists (Shami and Yadav) has so far not hurt India in our earlier games. Hope it doesn't come to bite us in this all important final.

Their openers were themselves under pressure getting fours through badly timed cuts, very lucky. They've successfully put Bumrah under pressure though. Bhuvi is doing good so far, only 10 from his 4 overs[DOUBLEPOST=1497780539][/DOUBLEPOST]Bad first over by Ashwin.
 
For the 100th time, Bumrah is not a new ball bowler. We are 1 seamer short here.
 
Azhar Ali is looking better here than Zaman. Zaman is looking unusually quiet. India have really done their homework to keep him down. But they are giving runs to Azhar Ali.
 
Zaman is looking very ordinary, it seems he is under a lot of pressure due to such a big game and some very good bowling by India.
 
11 extras in the first 10 overs with 6 wides and 1 big no ball and rest being leg byes.Thats too many in the context of big final.
