00:00 As-salamu alaykum and welcome to World Cup Special Transmission powered by Spark, Smartphone,
00:28 Food Panda and presented by Sunsilk.
00:31 I am your host, Najeeb Ulas Nahyan and this is the 29th game of ICC Men's T20…
00:36 Where did T20 come from?
00:38 ICC Men's World Cup and I have become so used to saying it that I forgot to say it today.
00:43 Anyway, moving on, today's pre-tournament favourites are England and India.
00:49 If you ask any of the experts, they were not able to get them out of their final four in this World Cup.
00:55 And now, both are in a different situation. England is struggling and India is unbeaten.
01:02 So, this match is going to be held in Lucknow. England has won the toss and has decided to bowl.
01:08 I have with me my experts, Basit Ali, Azhar Ali, Kamran Akmal and we will have with us today,
01:16 Shahid Hashmi, who is on the video link. So, welcome to the show.
01:20 Before we talk about today's all-important game, we will talk about yesterday's matches.
01:26 What an amazing match it was.
01:29 It is not wrong to say that this tournament was an amazing tournament for the underdogs.
01:34 Netherlands has proven themselves well.
01:38 What will Basit say about yesterday's match against Netherlands? Let's start with him.
01:42 Hello.
01:43 Hello.
01:45 Netherlands has shown that Bangladesh is a lion of its own.
01:51 You see, they go to big teams and win the series.
01:56 Because the mindset is to make their own pitches.
01:59 But when they go out and play, they become zero.
02:02 Netherlands is the team that is coming up.
02:05 They have come up after playing qualifiers.
02:08 After that, you are losing matches like this.
02:10 And yesterday, Shakib gave an interview that there were more than 229 players.
02:15 If there were more than 229, then Shakib would have gone to Bangladesh for a day and not come back.
02:21 The captain does not give such interviews.
02:23 If you play bad cricket, say it.
02:25 They have a lot of internal politics.
02:28 It is visible. It is visible.
02:29 It is clearly visible.
02:30 It is absolutely right.
02:31 Azhar, if we talk about Netherlands,
02:34 the way they have played, it is clear that they were joking about how it feels like a job.
02:41 9 to 5, a one-day match is so long.
02:44 But they came to prove something.
02:47 Coming from the qualifiers to here and then coming here and defeating these teams.
02:50 First, defeating a big team like South Africa.
02:52 And now Bangladesh is not a new team.
02:54 A big team is considered.
02:56 It has been playing for so long.
02:57 Defeating them like this.
02:59 Apart from the last game, which was completely outplayed by Australia.
03:04 The way they made such a big total.
03:06 Apart from that, if you see, throughout,
03:07 a team has been seen.
03:09 Look at the fielding side, look at their fitness.
03:12 Then look at their middle order especially.
03:14 The way they play under pressure.
03:16 If you look at this match, the condition was not so easy.
03:20 But the captain played 68 runs and 89 balls.
03:24 But throughout, everyone contributed.
03:27 Their batting is down to the bottom.
03:28 In most of the matches, I have seen that even their shaves have fallen.
03:31 Their lower order is very, you know, the way we talk.
03:35 They play in an experienced team.
03:37 Like, we see Australia, they fight till the end.
03:41 Their tail also fights till the end.
03:43 So that thing is visible in their team.
03:45 Right now.
03:46 I don't know what will happen in the next 4-5 years, 6 years.
03:50 But this time their team is definitely such that
03:52 they will give a tough time to any team on their day.
03:55 We have seen the upset of South Africa.
03:57 Bangladesh is still a test playing nation.
04:00 They have been playing in the World Cups for so long.
04:02 And no one ever rates the Netherlands.
04:04 Their performance in the T20 World Cup was better last year.
04:07 Now it is even better.
04:09 In 50-hour cricket, we say that when they come,
04:11 in 50 hours, obviously, one or two mistakes are made in T20.
04:14 But they have told us that the mistake in T20 was not a mistake.
04:18 Now that 50-hour cricket…
04:20 We are prepared for this format as well.
04:22 It is a part of the game.
04:23 But competing with other teams in every match,
04:25 competing with test playing nations,
04:27 qualifying in the World Cup qualifier,
04:29 defeating test playing nations there as well.
04:31 I think this proves that this team has a lot of life.
04:34 Hopefully, their board, the cricket association there…
04:41 They should move forward.
04:43 They should move forward.
04:44 Otherwise, sometimes some good players get together.
04:47 And then obviously, the team breaks.
04:50 And then they face the bad examples.
04:52 Kamran is very upset with Bangladesh.
04:54 He is repeatedly saying that this team has now come to the time
04:57 to do something good, to do something extraordinary.
04:59 To reach the semi-final.
05:01 But even in this event, he is seen to be off-color.
05:06 He has been seen to be off-color for a long time.
05:08 Like Basit Bhai said, their internal matters should be resolved first.
05:12 Then they will play cricket well as a team.
05:15 Now see, Mohamadullah is still at 7th position.
05:18 He has scored 100.
05:19 Saqib is sometimes coming at 4th, sometimes at 5th.
05:22 And Nazmul Hasan, who is a good player,
05:24 is sometimes at 2nd, sometimes at 3rd, sometimes at 4th.
05:27 So, these things are going on.
05:29 And I think, at this time, they should reach the level of Pakistan,
05:33 the level of the Asian team, Sri Lanka.
05:37 They should improve.
05:39 And I think, Netherlands, their cricket…
05:42 I think, yesterday's match…
05:43 It's okay, they lost to England.
05:45 Yesterday, after winning the match, their cricket was destroyed.
05:48 They were exposed.
05:49 That they are not capable.
05:51 We can replace them in the future.
05:54 The way they have played cricket in this World Cup.
05:56 It's great.
05:57 And the best thing is that they have bowling.
06:00 According to the wicket, according to the condition,
06:02 they are winning the bowling match.
06:04 They have got runs from Australia, South Africa.
06:08 But they catch such teams.
06:10 And if I understand, now they have a match with Pakistan,
06:15 after 3-4 matches,
06:17 then maybe they can give Pakistan a tough time.
06:20 They have given tough time to Sri Lanka too.
06:22 It's a good thing.
06:23 So, I think, Bangladesh, the captain will have to think.
06:28 The players, the management, and the board will have to take a tough action.
06:33 If they want to improve cricket.
06:34 Mr. Basit, do you want to add anything?
06:35 In this tournament, besides India, Australia, everyone knows that it's a big team.
06:40 Netherlands is the team that has performed better than the Asian teams.
06:43 They have performed well.
06:44 That one game against Australia, because they have won 300.
06:47 We have won 300, we have won 400.
06:50 But this is the team that is improving day by day.
06:52 Improving, we can see the improvement.
06:54 From the qualifiers.
06:55 New Zealand has also scored 388 yesterday.
06:57 On the day, if any big team like Australia dominates a bowling attack,
07:02 then it can be a big total.
07:04 Absolutely right.
07:05 Mr. Shahid is with us.
07:06 Mr. Shahid, we are talking about this game between Netherlands and Bangladesh.
07:12 And at the same time, I was also thinking about Bangladesh's performance.
07:15 Afghanistan must be regretting that they should not have lost.
07:19 If they had lost, then the future would have been more open.
07:22 How do you see tomorrow's match?
07:24 This was the first match.
07:25 Afghanistan was all out at 156.
07:28 Afghanistan must be regretting that they lost.
07:32 But we keep saying that small teams, the associate teams or small teams,
07:37 always win in second bowling.
07:39 South Africa came in from 38 runs.
07:41 Bangladesh came in from 87 runs.
07:43 And yesterday, in a press conference, Shaqib Ul Hasan said,
07:47 "I don't know why we lost.
07:49 This is the best performance in our history in the World Cup."
07:53 So, the Bangladesh Cricket Board should leave Shaqib Ul Hasan as soon as possible.
07:58 He plays at his own will.
07:59 He went for two days.
08:00 He left Dhaka and the team.
08:02 He went to his coach.
08:04 This means that you are expressing distrust on your coach that I will train with my coach.
08:08 This means that your coach is not training properly.
08:11 And similarly, he was not ready to take Mehmood Ullah.
08:14 You are sending Mehmood Ullah to the 7th position after the century.
08:18 And then, 230 was not such a big score.
08:21 He said that he had scored a big score on the pitch.
08:23 So, if Bangladesh wants to play cricket on Shaqib Ul Hasan's mood, it will be very bad.
08:28 And the Netherlands had a very good performance yesterday.
08:30 Their boss, D. Leidy, came and said that we will have to treat the ICC like a big nation.
08:37 Their four main players, Stephen Maibag, who is injured, are very good openers.
08:41 He did not come with the Guteng team.
08:43 He did not come with the Crispringle team.
08:45 If those three or four players were there, they would have set up more.
08:48 Tom Cooper is also there.
08:49 Tom Cooper.
08:50 But, moving on.
08:52 Because this match was a very interesting match.
08:56 We talked a lot about this.
08:57 But, it would not be wrong to say that I think you will also agree.
09:00 The first match was also very good.
09:05 And it was the best match of this World Cup.
09:07 Would you agree, Basit bhai?
09:08 Before that, I would like to say that I think this is the last match of Shaqib.
09:11 That is obvious.
09:13 Not only World Cup, but also against Kapdani.
09:14 I think he will win this match.
09:16 It did not feel like that he will score a hit because it is 388.
09:20 Proper batting.
09:21 All the batsmen have batted.
09:22 Jimmy Nisham even believed that he will finish this match.
09:27 Unfortunately, he missed four or five runs.
09:30 But, what a game of cricket.
09:32 From both sides.
09:35 Yesterday, we were talking while watching the match.
09:38 How much pressure was there.
09:39 How mentally tough was the Australian.
09:42 But, from their faces, we could see how fast their heart beat was.
09:46 How fast the heart beat of the fielders was.
09:48 So, I think if any player or youngster wants to learn how to play under pressure.
09:55 And how much pressure you face.
09:57 How much training you have to do for this.
09:59 Yesterday's match was a top A+ batting and A+ fielding.
10:06 The way Labishan saved the four in the last over.
10:09 Wow, fantastic.
10:10 Under that amount of pressure.
10:11 And this is what we call one percentage.
10:15 They come forward in such matches.
10:18 And whoever improves them, wins in the end.
10:21 I think there was not much difference.
10:23 We can say that New Zealand let down their fielding.
10:27 Otherwise, I think it was a top batting display.
10:32 The pitch was very good.
10:33 And it was at a high altitude.
10:35 The sixers were going far.
10:36 But, it was an amazing game to watch.
10:39 I think even those who are not New Zealanders or Australian.
10:42 They also enjoyed this game a lot.
10:45 Kamran, Azhar has pointed out an important thing.
10:51 It is not easy to control the nerves.
10:55 But, the example he gave.
10:57 At that moment, when you thought the match was lost.
11:01 The way Australia fielded.
11:03 What do you say?
11:04 Both teams are known for their fielding.
11:07 They don't give up.
11:08 They put in the effort till the last ball.
11:10 When it's a bad day, the bowlers pick up the fielding.
11:13 They do a good fielding, save a good boundary, run out.
11:16 All these things were seen yesterday.
11:18 Good fielding, bad fielding was also seen.
11:20 As New Zealand has shown.
11:21 But, both teams are the top bowling line-up of the World Cup.
11:26 In such conditions, when the bowling is in your hands.
11:29 The batsmen take full advantage of it.
11:32 The talent of batting was seen yesterday.
11:34 And they didn't give up till the last ball.
11:36 And the good thing is that, the tail supported them.
11:39 The tail didn't think that the match was lost.
11:41 In chasing, thinking of 388 runs.
11:44 And going close to it, losing the match with 5 runs.
11:47 It means that they are professional teams.
11:50 They are big players.
11:51 They are performing well in this tournament.
11:53 Australia has shown themselves.
11:55 They have made a comeback.
11:56 They have batted well.
11:58 They were losing in bowling.
12:00 But, they didn't think that the match was lost.
12:04 They put in the effort till the last ball.
12:06 After that, Jimmy Nisham has batted well.
12:09 He has handled it well.
12:10 He has gone till the last over.
12:11 These things lift the team.
12:13 So, I think, chasing, batting.
12:16 And, keeping your body language positive.
12:19 You can see all these things in yesterday's match.
12:21 This under 15, under 19, like Ajju has said.
12:24 This will be the biggest match for them.
12:27 If you want to play, learn, then do watch.
12:29 Do you want to add anything?
12:30 I want to add that, from both sides,
12:32 I can see that, the bowling is more off-line.
12:36 We were talking about Mr. Stark.
12:38 We were saying that, Australia's bowling is weak.
12:41 Is it still weak, after yesterday's match?
12:43 You see, Stark is out of form.
12:46 If you see, if you see the new ball, the old ball.
12:48 Even in the last over, he was very lucky.
12:51 He bowled a wide four.
12:52 Then, a full toss.
12:53 Luckily, it was reversed.
12:55 Because of which, he ran out.
12:57 He missed.
12:58 So, Stark's big concern is Australia.
13:00 Absolutely right.
13:01 I think, their economy rate will be very high,
13:04 if we look at the entire tournament.
13:06 Yesterday, not just Stark,
13:07 New Zealand's Trent Boult, Matt Sundry,
13:09 were all exposed.
13:11 Because, a wicket like this,
13:12 388 doesn't come like this.
13:13 Look, this is only, you know,
13:15 Warner has also made 81 runs.
13:17 But, Travis Haddon has dominated.
13:19 The way he has batted.
13:20 That's why, their bowling will be exposed.
13:23 Absolutely right.
13:24 Pakistan started with a wicket.
13:26 Otherwise, in this tournament,
13:28 the lowest margin was 38 runs.
13:30 And, the lowest margin by wickets was 4 wickets.
13:33 Which, New Zealand was losing to India.
13:35 But, as we were talking,
13:36 Jimmy Nisham is a very good player.
13:38 He was changing the match.
13:39 But, in the last two overs,
13:40 you see, he needed 32 runs.
13:42 Josh Hazlewood, had hit a six in the beginning.
13:44 But, he saved 19 runs for Mitchell Stark.
13:48 And, the game in which Jimmy Nisham ran out,
13:50 either he should have gone out,
13:52 full tossing, but he came up on the bat.
13:54 Or, he should have hit it so slow,
13:55 that he could have run and taken two runs.
13:57 And, the way Josh English gathered the throw,
13:59 was far, throw.
14:01 After that, he dived and,
14:02 the way he out Jimmy Nisham,
14:04 so, bad luck for New Zealand.
14:06 But, New Zealand's defeat,
14:07 is good for us.
14:09 Okay, we are still thinking about all this.
14:11 We will come and talk about this.
14:13 But, on the other side of this break,
14:15 stay with us.
14:16 Glad to have you back once again,
14:40 to our special transmission.
14:41 And, today's match,
14:43 big game between,
14:45 both the teams.
14:47 What are the strong points,
14:48 what are the weaknesses,
14:49 who wins, how many times,
14:51 we show you,
14:52 Food Panda,
14:53 Head to Head.
14:54 So, Basit, how are you watching today's match?
14:59 And, these were pre-tournament favorites.
15:01 Everyone was saying that,
15:02 England will definitely reach.
15:04 But, England is admitting,
15:06 that we made a lot of mistakes.
15:07 And, we didn't focus properly on one day cricket.
15:11 First of all, India is taking a turn for the first time.
15:14 Always, whenever they used to bat,
15:16 they used to win the toss.
15:18 And, they were winning the match.
15:19 It's a good thing for them.
15:21 That, before knockouts,
15:22 they are taking a turn.
15:24 And, India played their first over-batting today.
15:26 In all five matches.
15:28 Absolutely right.
15:29 Willi, Willi Bhai,
15:30 was lucky.
15:31 David Willi.
15:32 That, he over-batted.
15:33 There is a slight change in pitch.
15:35 Today, we will have to see,
15:36 what is the attitude of Indian batters.
15:38 Because, when they are chasing,
15:40 they are in a completely different attitude.
15:41 Be it against us,
15:42 or against Australia.
15:44 Today, we can see,
15:46 how they build.
15:47 Whether they go for 60+ in 10 overs,
15:50 or stay within 50.
15:51 So, today, it's a completely different scenario.
15:54 We will see,
15:55 and we will get a chance to learn.
15:57 We will see, and we will get a chance to learn.
15:59 England is struggling.
16:00 In this match, they should try batting first.
16:03 They can do this.
16:05 They will get ready.
16:06 In a crunch match, in the semi-final,
16:08 what will happen if they lose the toss?
16:11 But, Rohit,
16:12 he wasn't feeling comfortable in this.
16:14 He was still trying to chase.
16:16 Yes, absolutely.
16:17 This is a plus point for them.
16:19 They chase very well.
16:21 And, like the first over,
16:22 he was confused.
16:23 Like he was on the toss.
16:25 But, it's a good thing,
16:26 that they are batting against a big team.
16:28 They have already reached the top four.
16:30 So, they will get practice.
16:31 There are three matches left.
16:33 Three to four matches.
16:34 So, in those two matches,
16:36 they will have to bat more.
16:37 They should prepare properly.
16:40 Never know,
16:41 they might get a chance in the final knockout.
16:43 They have got a good time.
16:45 Good quality against bowling.
16:46 They are not in form.
16:47 So, they should run longer.
16:49 It's a little seam.
16:50 They will have to take time.
16:51 Ten overs.
16:52 They will have to make a long total.
16:54 I think,
16:55 you have talked about the weakness of both the teams.
16:57 Right now, India has such good bowling
16:59 and batting.
17:00 England team is struggling.
17:02 Whether it's batting,
17:04 bowling,
17:05 fielding,
17:06 or captaincy.
17:07 All three shops are down.
17:09 Absolutely right.
17:10 Shahid sir,
17:11 England has played against all 15 players.
17:14 They have tried everyone.
17:15 They have kept their vice-captain
17:17 in three matches.
17:20 After trying all the tricks,
17:22 they are not able to make a recipe for success.
17:25 Absolutely right.
17:27 Last year,
17:29 I read in English press,
17:31 that
17:32 England team is thinking
17:34 that one day cricket will end.
17:36 Only T20 cricket will be left.
17:37 And test matches will be left.
17:39 So, in the last four years,
17:41 they have played 56 test matches
17:43 from that World Cup to this World Cup.
17:44 And only played 42 one day.
17:45 And since their 100 was successful,
17:48 they became the world champion of T20.
17:50 So, they have reduced their focus on one day.
17:53 And their bowlers,
17:55 they have kept bowling all-rounders.
17:57 They will make them do bowling and batting.
17:59 In one day, you need solid bowlers,
18:01 solid batters.
18:03 And we can see Butler,
18:05 who is looking very clueless.
18:06 There are many questions and doubts
18:08 about his captaincy.
18:09 He has made two wrong decisions after winning the toss.
18:11 Let's see if today's decision is right or not.
18:14 Maybe he thought that India,
18:16 in the first batting,
18:17 we will catch them.
18:19 Maybe they are good in chase.
18:20 Maybe that's why he made this decision.
18:22 Yes, absolutely.
18:23 Clearly, this is the reason.
18:25 Kamran,
18:26 what will you say about Butler's captaincy?
18:28 Because,
18:29 it is very clear that he is a clueless captain.
18:32 It is clear.
18:34 His captaincy is exposed in one day.
18:37 Till one day,
18:38 they have focused more on 100,
18:40 T20 and Test matches.
18:43 I mean, as a player,
18:45 you are a professional.
18:46 You know that you have to play T20 and one day.
18:50 So, you prepare for that.
18:51 The system is the same,
18:53 which is going on from the beginning.
18:55 Whether it is one day or T20.
18:56 The only difference is that
18:59 when you take so much confidence in yourself,
19:03 overconfidence,
19:05 then you have to be more confident.
19:09 You have to manage.
19:11 He has so many injuries in one day cricket.
19:14 And when he is talking about ending one day cricket,
19:17 he doesn't have to end it.
19:18 The ICC has to do it.
19:19 If they want to take the DCA.
19:21 They are getting a chance,
19:22 so they prepare.
19:23 As a big team,
19:24 professional players also think.
19:25 Not this,
19:26 the franchise is so big,
19:27 I think that is also damaging international cricket.
19:31 Especially one day cricket.
19:33 So, boards have to think about this for a long time.
19:37 Which players should be allowed to go in franchise cricket.
19:41 Stop our main players.
19:42 Leave the fee.
19:44 And if such events come,
19:45 then they will look tired.
19:46 Like England and Pakistan's team are looking tired.
19:48 Okay, let's take a break here.
19:50 We will continue the discussion with Steven.
19:52 [Music]
20:11 Shubman Gill,
20:12 Basit Bhai is enjoying this out.
20:16 Out and the counter attack on bowling.
20:21 Because the ball is at a very high seam.
20:24 And in India,
20:25 the swing is less,
20:27 except for the left-armer.
20:29 The seam of these people means
20:31 there is some juice in the pitch.
20:34 There is juice in the pitch.
20:35 For which they can take advantage.
20:37 Azhar,
20:38 what are you thinking after this dismissal?
20:40 This is a proper England delivery.
20:42 Like in England,
20:43 we see that the ball comes out in the air,
20:45 and comes in with a seam.
20:46 So, a very good ball.
20:48 There is a little bit in this pitch,
20:50 but they counter attack.
20:51 Because they don't have a good pace.
20:53 So, Roy Sharma,
20:54 especially against Willy,
20:55 used his feet.
20:56 He under-pressured him.
20:58 So, if you play at your place,
21:00 it's not that easy to make a run.
21:04 You have to make runs.
21:05 Early on,
21:06 the fast bowlers get help on the ball.
21:08 So, this is the thing,
21:09 when it's your second time,
21:11 how difficult it will be for the England team.
21:13 But, after the first match,
21:15 Australia and India,
21:18 all the wickets are being made.
21:19 Absolutely right.
21:20 Shahid,
21:21 final thoughts.
21:22 First blood.
21:23 England has taken their first wicket.
21:25 We were also talking about the toss.
21:28 Let's take your opinion on both of these things.
21:30 Then we will close the program.
21:32 Absolutely right.
21:33 But India's batting is very deep.
21:36 So, if they take one wicket,
21:37 it won't make a difference.
21:39 Their middle order batsmen,
21:40 Virat Kohli,
21:41 Shriya Sair,
21:42 are making runs.
21:43 Jadeja made runs in the last match.
21:45 So, it won't be that difficult for them.
21:47 The toss is absolutely right.
21:49 28 matches out of 28,
21:51 and 8 matches on one side.
21:53 And the teams that are fielding are also losing more.
21:55 The first toss,
21:56 they are winning and fielding.
21:58 But, for the next program,
21:59 I want to leave one topic for the entire panel,
22:01 and for you too, Najeeb.
22:03 We haven't paid the central contract players
22:06 for the past 5 months.
22:08 Let's discuss this too.
22:09 We were told,
22:10 when the team was coming for the World Cup,
22:13 that the central contracts have been signed.
22:15 But now the players are saying,
22:16 an official from the PCB has come today,
22:19 to take the permission of the central contract
22:21 and get it signed.
22:22 So, why didn't it happen then?
22:24 If it had happened,
22:25 why were we told that it hadn't happened?
22:26 And why haven't the players been paid
22:28 for the past 5 months?
22:29 Absolutely right.
22:30 Mr. Shahid, we will take your thoughts on this,
22:32 and we will discuss this further
22:33 in the evening program.
22:35 Quickly give us your prediction for today.
22:39 India.
22:40 India.
22:41 Mr. Basit.
22:42 India.
22:45 India?
22:46 England.
22:47 If India does 250,
22:48 it will be very difficult for England.
22:50 Okay, I will go with England,
22:51 because England is struggling a lot.
22:53 They are wearing blue shirts.
22:54 They are wearing blue shirts,
22:55 because…
22:56 They are also wearing blue shirts.
22:57 It's more like England.
22:58 It's more like England.
22:59 But more like England.
23:00 Okay, that's all for today's transmission.
23:03 We will meet you again at 5 PM.
23:05 Give your host, Najeeb Al-Asnain,
23:06 his permission.
23:07 Take care of yourselves.
23:08 Goodbye.
23:09 Goodbye.
23:11 India.
23:13 India.
23:15 India.
23:16 India.
23:17 India.
23:18 India.
23:19 India.
23:20 India.
23:21 India.
23:22 India.
