00:00 Welcome to the Pavilion.

00:08 Sports and Sports and the ARYS

00:10 app. The news out of the ICC

00:12 World Cup 2023 in India.

00:14 Hyderabad is

00:16 Betting.

00:20 344 for the loss of nine

00:24 wickets. And there's the score

00:26 of the game.

00:32 the

00:36 partnership

00:40 that has been just absolutely

00:42 spectacular. Both of them

00:44 scoring a century each and look

00:46 at the strike rates. 158% for

00:48 Kusal Mendes and 121% plus for

00:50 Siddhira. Damage done to the

00:52 Pakistani bowling. There you

00:54 go.

00:57 The

00:59 economy rate. That is really

01:01 really the best out of the

01:03 entire scorecard.

01:05 And yes, with me in the

01:07 Pavilion, I've got the four

01:09 captains, the four greats of

01:11 the game of cricket. I've got

01:13 Shoaib Malik, Miss Maulhak,

01:15 Mohim Khan and Waseem Akram.

01:17 Waseem, let me bring this to

01:19 you. What an excellent target

01:21 put up there by Sri Lanka.

01:23 And the Pakistanis were 217 for

01:25 two. And I think Pakistan need

01:27 team pulled back a bit. But in

01:29 general,

01:31 Pakistan team

01:33 I know they they lost the toss

01:35 and they had to feel but this is

01:37 a World Cup. This is only second

01:39 game and this is one of the

01:41 teams.

01:44 chance

01:47 but still 350, 345

01:50 wicket

01:53 Pakistan

01:56 target

01:59 target now how do how does the

02:01 Pakistani team plan to go about

02:03 their business chasing this?

02:05 Obviously, I mean, it is

02:07 chaseable.

02:10 Normally runs

02:13 Sri Lanka

02:16 total

02:19 capital

02:22 partnerships

02:25 start

02:28 partnerships

02:31 wicket

02:34 partnership

02:37 top four

02:40 then we had a fair

02:43 enough chance

02:46 obviously

02:49 the way we started our bowling

02:52 intensity

02:55 was

02:58 you are there to kill

03:01 yes

03:04 but still game is there and you have to finish it

03:07 what do you think was going on there with the fielding?

03:13 and I was there unusually more lapses

03:16 today than a normal day for Pakistan?

03:19 I think fielding is a department

03:22 that you only enjoy it and you do it well

03:25 and I was seeing this.

03:28 If you are being hit as a bowling unit

03:31 and partnerships are going on, then anyone falls.

03:34 As a team you fall. But this is a time

03:37 because all the Pakistan cricket team

03:40 is the same age

03:43 and they have a good understanding

03:46 so 2-3 people at that time

03:49 would pick each other up and say, "Ok, we are getting hit

03:52 but let's give our best shot because we still have to bowl

03:55 50 overs and on top of that

03:58 we have to chase as well."

04:01 So that element I felt a little bit.

04:04 There are lapses in the match. That is part of the game.

04:07 There is no such team in the world.

04:10 There will be lapses but good teams

04:13 are those who keep giving their best

04:16 until 100 overs are over.

04:19 And I also think that there are chances in chasing.

04:22 These runs can be chased.

04:25 The two previous matches we played, this is a much better pitch.

04:28 Nawaz's turn was not as good, Shadab's ball was not turned

04:31 and under lights, this ground, no one

04:34 can play through the line.

04:37 Only this 158 strike rate which Kushal Mendes

04:40 has done in 122 in 77 balls.

04:43 If he makes 200 out of the first 4 batters

04:46 and there is no need for the same strike rate

04:49 Correct. Correct.

04:52 If he makes it with a strike rate of 100

04:55 and it becomes 200, out of the first 4, Pakistan team will chase down this target.

04:58 Well, that's the positive there.

05:01 Mohin, pitch, anything different in this pitch now?

05:04 From the first over which started and the last over which was going on.

05:07 I don't think so. Like Malik said,

05:10 the ball is visible in the night.

05:13 So there is a chance of winning the Pakistan team.

05:16 But there were some mistakes. When the toss happened,

05:19 Babar said that we wanted to do the ball.

05:22 Which you did. Yes, we did the ball but without any plan.

05:25 Balling totally throughout the innings, we saw it

05:28 either on the off-stump or on the feet.

05:31 The finishing line which I was constantly talking about

05:34 that you have to do wicket to wicket bowling in India.

05:37 Just to restrict any opponent.

05:40 Such a big target, 350 runs, there is a pressure.

05:43 That pressure, naturally you won't bowl

05:46 within your target line.

05:49 So you will get hit. And we saw that.

05:52 Spinners are also called good. And the most important thing

05:55 was that we didn't see Shaheen's pace.

05:58 We didn't see Ahsan's pace. You know, you used to

06:01 reverse swing with pace. It was a minor mistake.

06:04 I think the Pakistan team was a bit without plan.

06:07 But let's see, the responsibility is on the batsmen.

06:10 They have to perform.

06:13 And wicket in hand, what will happen?

06:16 It is very important. Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi has only done 9 overs.

06:19 Yeah, I was about to come there. You have a main bowler who is a wicket taker

06:22 and you give him 9 overs. I don't understand what's the reason behind it.

06:25 Whose math is wrong? Whose calculation is wrong?

06:28 Shibi? I was watching at that time and I have noticed

06:31 that Shadab, one over before

06:34 Sadeera hit a shot in the covers.

06:37 The ball went from Babar's left side

06:40 and he tried to stop that ball

06:43 but the ball hit his finger. So he went out to take treatment

06:46 for his finger. So Shadab

06:49 took over as captain.

06:52 And in that,

06:55 Iftikhar had done 4 overs

06:58 and Shadab had done 3 overs. So Shadab

07:01 came again to do another over.

07:04 So this is one thing, he is an attacking bowler.

07:07 He needed a wicket at that time. But you should come when

07:10 your ball is falling where you want it to fall.

07:13 And we have seen Shadab struggling.

07:16 Today we saw that he is struggling.

07:19 In such a situation, I think

07:22 the team should be the first to score. You shouldn't think

07:25 that if I have got the responsibility, I will do another over.

07:28 That is a miscalculation.

07:31 You see, when we played, I don't know, the mindset has probably changed nowadays.

07:34 It's different cricket. It was different in the 90s.

07:37 When I was captain or vice-captain, Mohin or whoever

07:40 I used to say, I am going to take 3-4 over treatments. This should be done.

07:43 That's why communication is very important

07:46 with the captain and vice-captain.

07:49 I think when the team was announced, the vice-captain was not announced.

07:52 I think vice-captain was announced.

07:55 But for that time, Shadab I guess, he started leading the side.

07:58 Ok, Mishra, now let's talk about

08:01 which bowlers will the Pakistani batsmen

08:04 be targeting?

08:07 Which bowlers are there? What are the match-ups?

08:10 I think overall,

08:13 we have seen that their fast bowling is under pressure.

08:16 They don't have much experience.

08:19 In the last match, the way South Africa

08:22 did their job, Pakistan

08:25 especially can run against their fast bowlers.

08:28 Spinners, both spinners

08:31 how we tackle them is very important

08:34 in this whole run. Teeq Shana and then

08:37 obviously, Vailal Iqbal.

08:40 They have created problems for us in the Asia Cup.

08:43 Because they bowl from such angles, wide of the crease

08:46 and the ball comes in, drifts and then

08:49 if there is a little spin, it creates a very difficult angle.

08:52 And some of our batsmen are struggling

08:55 on the left-hand spin.

08:58 So how do we handle both of them?

09:01 Rest, I think, the bowlers will give us runs.

09:04 They can give us runs, but

09:07 we should have a plan on how to play them.

09:10 If we go completely on defense

09:13 and don't show intent, then it will be difficult

09:16 for us to run.

09:19 One thing is for sure, their fifth bowler is Dhananjay Da Silva and Shana.

09:22 These two bowlers will do 10 overs.

09:25 So whenever they come to bowl,

09:28 they should attack them. Where you can play 7 and over, 8 and over.

09:31 The other 4 bowlers

09:34 need to strike rotation.

09:37 Strike rotation will continue and they will also give boundary balls.

09:40 No bowler wants to keep bowling singles.

09:43 If he goes to stop a single, then he gives boundary balls.

09:46 But the fifth bowler has to be targeted.

09:49 Normally, they are starting with, nowadays,

09:52 their captain, Shanaka, he is bowling a new ball.

09:55 Early on, he is in the circle, he is in the medium pace.

09:58 He bowls 4 to 5 overs.

10:01 Today, he might not do well with left-hander Madhushanka

10:04 because his ball comes inside.

10:07 These are the 3 options, mainly with the new ball.

10:10 And then they go towards Patirana,

10:13 which comes later on when it reverses a bit

10:16 and they go on spin.

10:19 So, Pakistan has to plan this a bit.

10:22 I am seeing that Sri Lankan fast bowlers

10:25 don't have that much experience.

10:28 They give runs when they are under pressure.

10:31 Pakistan will have to plan, obviously.

10:34 I am sure, they are planning it right now.

10:37 Yes, 100% they should.

10:40 Abdullah Shafiq is also in a lot of pressure today

10:43 because you have such a big total to chase.

10:46 If we look at Abdullah Shafiq,

10:49 I think, in today's cricket,

10:52 he should play at the same pace.

10:55 He has under 7 runs in over.

10:58 This is very important.

11:01 You have to plan with the wicket in hand.

11:04 Okay, gentlemen, we are going to be back in post-match.

11:07 The situation is, Sri Lanka has put up a great big total.

11:10 Pakistani Shaheens have to go out there and shine and soar really high.

11:13 We are hoping for the best. We will see you on the other side of the mix.
