00:00 Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to Coca-Cola special transmission presented by Surf Excel powered by Sparks and Spotify
00:06 So today's match as simple as it is it's almost a semi-final
00:12 Yes, if Pakistan wins this match, only then will it face India in the final and the
00:18 The best defeat in the Super 4 match will be avenged
00:22 If Pakistan loses, then obviously Pakistan is out and if it rains, because so far the toss has not been done
00:28 The rain has stopped but due to the wet outfield, there is a delay in the toss
00:32 So if this match is washed out by the rain, then Sri Lanka will qualify for the final
00:39 Again because of that one bad game because of which our net run rate has gone very bad
00:45 So first of all, let's show you the clash of both the teams
00:50 Yes, so this is the situation and my panel is present with me
00:53 Yunus Khan, Kamran Akmal, Shahid Hashmi and Shoaib Jad
00:56 Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show
00:57 Wa-alaikum-as-salam
00:59 So first of all, because we have to take their opinion
01:03 So first of all, we show you the pitch report so that you can get an idea of what the situation is of today's match
01:10 So let's move towards the pitch report
01:11 Yes, so this is the pitch report and this time out of order
01:17 First we will talk to Kamran
01:18 Kamran, Waqar Yunus says that it is dry, there are cracks, runs on the board
01:24 Will you agree with Waqar?
01:27 Look, runs on the board is very important for the Pakistan team to win
01:31 It's not like India did 213 runs, so we can also defend
01:36 We will have to do at least 250+
01:38 And you can see that the spinners have played an important role in the last three games
01:42 The spinners have outplayed
01:43 So I think we saw the same thing in all three matches
01:47 So let's see how the spinners respond to us
01:50 But I wanted to see the team that has been announced
01:52 But the spinners will definitely play a more important role
01:59 We are seeing the same thing in all three matches
02:02 How crucial is the toss, Yunus?
02:05 Look, in one match Sanjay Manjrekar gave a pitch report and it was against him
02:10 So now, even Waqar didn't explain anything
02:15 There will be a turn, seam, swing, what should happen
02:19 He just said run on the board and defend
02:25 If I talk about pitches, I will have to go into detail
02:28 Why did such pitches happen?
02:30 If you look at the first half of the match, there are a lot of runs
02:33 When it's an India-Pakistan match
02:35 We know that in under-lat, when there is fast bowling on this ground
02:40 You get a swing
02:43 When you come to white ball cricket, we are not used to the swing
02:48 Batters go for runs and pitch in good conditions
02:52 Because they play on good pitches every day
02:54 So it becomes difficult for them to play in this condition
02:57 Then we come to another match
02:59 When India bats and Duneet Vellalage's bowling was amazing
03:06 We saw that the spinners have to dominate and attack
03:12 So these changes happen
03:14 But what is the reason for this?
03:15 The reason is that it's raining a lot and there are back-to-back matches
03:19 That's why we keep saying that there should be a lengthy event
03:23 So that the pitches get a chance
03:25 And that's the same thing
03:27 When we played cricket in Pakistan
03:29 We used to say that there are matches every day
03:31 There is a problem with pitches
03:33 There is moisture, the ball doesn't come on the bat
03:36 It's not fun
03:37 So when the matches came in PSL
03:39 Then they started making good pitches
03:42 And the boundaries were also reduced
03:44 So this is one of the reasons
03:46 So I think this is exactly what is going to happen
03:48 The spinners will have a big role in today's match
03:50 We have to pray that
03:52 First of all, we will try to win the toss
03:56 So that there is a back-up mind
03:58 If you are batting second
04:00 Or even the delay is a match
04:02 So in such a situation, our first batting or bowling comes
04:07 Which is suitable for us
04:09 And like there are five changes today
04:11 May God make it beneficial for our team
04:13 We will talk about the changes in detail
04:15 Mr. Shahid, if you look at the stats
04:18 There are 155 total matches
04:20 Pakistan won 92, Sri Lanka won 58
04:22 So clearly, the advantage is Pakistan's side
04:25 On top of that, all the past 8 completed one-day international matches
04:29 Pakistan won
04:30 That is, from 2015 to now
04:32 We have won all the one-day matches against Sri Lanka
04:35 The surprising thing is that both these teams play so much together
04:39 From 2018 to now, there have been only two one-day matches
04:42 So the gap that has come, the players know each other so well
04:46 Yes, the stats are different
04:48 But every day is new, every match is new
04:50 The way Sri Lanka is playing cricket
04:52 The way their spinners are running
04:54 The way their middle order showed resilience
04:57 Made a match from 99 for 7 in the 63 partnership
05:01 According to me, Dhananjaya De Silva should be understood
05:04 He also gets out of the test by scoring a shot
05:06 On crucial occasions
05:07 And in this match too, Dunit Vilalage did a better batting
05:11 And he showed more responsibility than Dhananjaya De Silva
05:14 So all these stats you are telling
05:17 All these 8 matches were won by Pakistan
05:19 But today's match is crucial
05:20 You have made so many changes
05:22 It is a panic-like situation
05:23 But if it rains, then maybe the rain-shortened match
05:27 Pakistan will probably favor more
05:29 T20 will be cricket
05:30 In 50 overs cricket, the spinners play a lot of parts
05:33 If it is 20 overs cricket, maybe they will tolerate 4 overs
05:36 Of Vilalage and other spinners
05:38 And you have selected most of the players for 20 overs cricket
05:41 Absolutely right
05:42 Now, let's go through the composition of our team
05:47 We have 3 force changes
05:49 So we didn't have anything in our hands
05:52 We had to do that
05:53 If we start with the first one
05:55 It is Muhammad Haris
05:57 And Yunus, tell me
06:00 You have a proper opener on the bench
06:03 Abdullah Shafiq
06:04 You go for Haris
06:06 Firstly, he has not played one day
06:08 Secondly, he does not open
06:11 Where he plays, he is at 5th or 6th
06:13 If he had got a chance, he would have understood
06:16 Secondly, this is Colombo
06:18 Conditions are not supporting the slogger
06:21 What do you think about this decision?
06:24 Maybe it will be beneficiary
06:26 The reason is, when you make a plan
06:29 I think, when you have Fakhar
06:32 First of all, we have to go deep
06:34 Why Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ullah open?
06:37 Because they are complimenting each other
06:40 Fakhar will play fast
06:42 He will play his national game
06:44 And opposite to that, if we talk about Imam Ullah
06:46 He will go and play study
06:48 And he will build his inning
06:50 I think this is the reason
06:53 Ideally, Abdullah Shafiq should play
06:56 Because we have to understand
06:57 We are learning
06:59 The benchmark is India
07:01 If we talk about this event
07:03 Tell me, in any of the matches
07:06 When they bat, how many runs were there in 10 overs?
07:09 If we see the average, it is 50-60
07:11 After that, they go to the next gear
07:13 And target 30-30 in the next over
07:16 Even in the last match, the same thing happened
07:18 If we see, there were 50 runs
07:20 Then they accelerated in 4-5 overs
07:23 And the average was 7-8
07:26 But after that, they got out
07:28 And then he came back
07:30 We have to understand this
07:32 We are saying that Muhammad Haris is good
07:34 He is a very good player
07:36 And may he perform well
07:39 But this is not a long-term planning
07:41 Now you have the World Cup
07:43 I think we have to revise this decision
07:45 The reason is
07:47 If we think every day
07:49 And do this work
07:51 Then it will be very difficult in the future
07:53 And now, nothing is so bad
07:55 But after the World Cup
07:57 And God forbid
07:59 If I talk about other teams
08:00 We couldn't talk in detail
08:02 If we see the whole transmission
08:04 They are coming very well set
08:06 They have made 2-3 chargers in every position
08:10 I think, God willing, it is beneficiary
08:13 But the panic button is on
08:16 And I hope that it is good for the Pakistan team
08:19 And your toss is good
08:21 And your situation is good
08:23 It should be according to you
08:25 Kamran, it is being said again and again
08:27 That spinners will have an important role
08:29 And it is being said again and again
08:31 You have Osama Mir
08:32 Then why don't you try him?
08:34 If you had put him in this match
08:36 Wouldn't it have been a good selection?
08:38 We have been saying this from the beginning
08:40 That there should be a specialist
08:42 I was not in favor of you dropping Fakhar
08:46 He has played 20-25 runs
08:48 You should give him more confidence
08:50 He is your match winner
08:52 He has to play 1-1 and get his form back
08:54 If I was there, I would not have put him out of the match
08:57 But he has given Haris a chance
09:00 I would have wanted Haris to open the 6th
09:03 This would have been the batting order
09:05 You would have got a good combination
09:08 Because he is opening the 6th
09:10 He has an idea
09:12 He has an idea on the 4th
09:14 In this condition, he is not comfortable
09:18 Maybe he should play a better ball
09:26 Osama Mir definitely
09:28 If you don't want to play Fakhar
09:33 You are playing Nawaz by reducing the number of batsmen
09:38 Your batting lineup is so big
09:40 You should have put a specialist spinner
09:42 You should have gone for bowling
09:44 You know how well India has moved
09:46 They have played Akshay Patel
09:48 It is seen from here that they have done a lot of work
09:51 They have a good idea
09:53 The captain and the coach are also feeling
09:55 The pressure is making the team
09:58 Make this, make that
10:00 If we had to change
10:02 I think Abdullah was the better choice
10:05 Condition wise
10:06 We should have taken him
10:07 Let's see the result
10:09 Shoaib has been waiting for a long time
10:11 He has thought a lot about this team selection
10:14 I have some information to share
10:17 Last night at 10.30pm
10:20 National selectors or Subahi selectors
10:23 They called us
10:25 That you have reached today
10:27 Some had a flight at 12, some had a flight at morning
10:29 At 3pm they are meeting with national selectors
10:33 Panic button is pressed
10:36 9 selectors are with Inzamamul Haq
10:38 Subahi selectors are in this
10:39 Tauseef Ahmed, Masood Anwar, Mehmood Hamid, Muhammad Salman, Javed Ayyad, Sanaullah, Wasim Haider
10:45 So we are sitting there and talking
10:47 The information is that backup plan is being thought
10:50 You are remembering the backup plan a few days ago
10:53 There is a reason for that too
10:54 We need to understand this
10:55 Our core selection committee
10:57 Which selects the Pakistan team
10:58 In that, Indi is the chief selector
11:00 Mickey Arthur who is not in Pakistan
11:02 He is a part of that
11:03 Hassan Cheema
11:04 I don't think he goes to domestic matches
11:06 Then Brad Bund
11:07 He is also in Pakistan
11:08 Shahid Dastab
11:09 He is in National Cricket Academy
11:11 On them, the selection committee is based
11:13 That means all these people
11:15 Who look at the paper
11:16 When we were talking about stats
11:17 Shahid Bhai
11:18 What are their stats?
11:20 What is the player delivering on the ground?
11:22 Maybe they don't know
11:23 They just look at the paper
11:24 Oh, he has done such a good bowling
11:25 Call him
11:26 Oh, he has done such a good bowling
11:27 Call him
11:28 So this is happening
11:29 Maybe all these countries have realized
11:30 And now the selectors have been called
11:32 Meeting is at 3 o'clock
11:33 And for India
11:34 They are deciding some things
11:36 That when to go to the World Cup
11:37 What changes will come
11:38 And this is also the information
11:40 Maybe Shahidab Khan
11:41 He should not be the deputy captain
11:43 Because looking at their performances
11:44 This is happening
11:45 If in the team
11:46 Maybe there is no deputy captain
11:47 If the team's deputy captain
11:48 Is sitting outside
11:49 Then big things happen
11:50 So maybe this burden
11:51 Is possible to be removed from them
11:53 Today this meeting is taking place
11:54 Shahid sir
11:55 What is your final take on all these things?
11:58 Has the panic button been pressed very quickly
12:00 With the defeat of one match?
12:01 I agree that that defeat was very bad
12:03 We had given up in that game
12:06 But still it was one bad game
12:08 So is this happening soon?
12:09 This has always happened in Pakistan
12:10 They say that they will not press the panic button
12:12 But the panic button has been pressed
12:14 As Shoaib has said
12:16 A selection committee will be formed
12:17 And they will be separated from the selection
12:20 Mickey Arthur, Bradburn and others
12:23 And a few people will be eliminated in team management
12:26 If you don't play the final of the Asia Cup
12:28 A few people will be eliminated
12:29 But you are doing all these things before the World Cup
12:31 Before the World Cup
12:32 Like Kamran said
12:33 Fakhar is your main player
12:35 You should have given him one more match
12:37 You should have given him confidence
12:38 That you are one innings away from your good performance
12:41 And you brought Haris
12:42 Who did not open
12:44 Ideally, he should have opened with Rizwan
12:47 With Imam
12:48 If you want, Rizwan should have opened
12:51 But the thought is
12:53 Go and hit and destroy the opponent
12:57 Will Haris be able to do this?
12:59 Will Thikshana allow him?
13:00 He does wicket to wicket bowling
13:02 His cousin Rajuta does wicket to wicket bowling
13:05 It will be very difficult for him to play
13:07 You pressed the panic button
13:09 If you made five changes, you would have made the sixth
13:12 Shahdaab's replacement would have been Usama
13:14 You should have given all your players a chance
13:17 You said, we showed bad performance in the Asia Cup
13:20 But we checked all our players
13:22 Now we are in the World Cup
13:23 You pressed the panic button before the World Cup
13:25 You should have played the World Cup like this
13:28 And after the World Cup
13:29 Like we have been hearing for centuries
13:31 Rebuilding phase
13:32 Rebuilding and next World Cup
13:34 Let's take a break
13:35 Kamran, stop the camera
13:37 Hold that thought
13:38 Let's take a break
13:39 Don't go anywhere
13:40 We will be right back
13:41 (upbeat music)
