00:00 Hello, good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:06 I am Fakhr-e-Alam and you are watching Esports 10 Sports, ARY Zabab, our continued coverage
00:11 of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
00:15 And the news is that Afghanistan has defeated Sri Lanka in their game.
00:21 What a win for Afghanistan.
00:23 It's another special night for Afghanistan.
00:25 All the Afghanistan cricket fans, Afghanis around the world, a big congratulations to
00:30 all of you from all of us here in the Pavilion.
00:32 Iske baare mein baat karenge, but before we get started, let me bring in my esteemed panelists
00:37 into the conversation.
00:38 I am joined now again, once again, with three of Pakistan's former captains, three excellent
00:45 minds that understand the game of cricket really well.
00:48 I've got first up, young, dynamic, one of the best fielders that we had on the field,
00:53 Shoaib Malik.
00:54 Shoaib, good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:55 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:56 Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:57 With that, I have Mr. Dependable, the man who stood for Pakistani batting whenever we
01:04 had a crisis in the batting order.
01:06 And also one of the most successful test captains of Pakistan's cricket history, Mr. Al-Hakmizbah.
01:10 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:11 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:13 And one of the finest cricket keepers, also captain of Pakistan, known as the man of crisis,
01:19 the silver fox of the Pavilion, Mohin Khan.
01:21 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:22 Good evening, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
01:23 Assalam-o-Alaikum, everyone.
01:24 All right, folks.
01:25 Let's get down to the business end of it.
01:27 First, let me present you the match summary.
01:30 Today, the situation was such that after winning the toss, Afghanistan invited Sri Lanka for
01:37 batting.
01:38 And it was a very interesting call because Afghanistan chose to chase.
01:44 Now, this is how it went down.
01:46 It was a great effort by the Afghanistan bowlers.
01:49 Sri Lanka managed to put up 241.
01:51 It looked like there were demons in the pitch, but that's something we're going to discuss
01:57 with our panelists.
01:58 Look at that bowling card for Afghanistan.
02:01 Fazal there picking up those four for 34, and Mujib two for 38, and Azmat one for 37.
02:08 Really great bowling by the Afghan bowlers.
02:11 Nisankar, 46, Mendes, 39.
02:14 And that's how they contributed.
02:17 They supply a very, very calm, a very well-calculated, calibrated chase by Afghanistan.
02:25 242 for three wickets.
02:28 Azmat there with a great 73-odd right on top there.
02:32 Rehmat with 62, Hashmat with 58, and Ibrahim contributing with 39.
02:36 I just cannot say enough for that chase.
02:39 It looked so patient, so methodical, so comfortable.
02:43 And there you have the bowling figures for Sri Lanka.
02:46 Picking up an early wicket of Gurbaz, but that was not to be how the day was going to end for his side.
02:53 And that's how Afghanistan won this one by seven wickets.
02:56 That's how it went down.
02:58 Let's take a look at the points table.
03:00 Well, here's your points table at the ICC Men's World Cup India 2023.
03:04 And, well, the top looks pretty steady.
03:06 India leading the pack here.
03:08 Undefeated right on top with 12 points.
03:11 South Africa in second place with 10 points.
03:14 India with 12, South Africa with 10, New Zealand with 8, Australia with 8.
03:18 But Afghanistan now in the hunt for a spot in the top four.
03:23 They look at their points and they are in the fifth place, pushing down Pakistan to the seventh place.
03:30 Netherlands eighth and Bangladesh ninth and England right at the bottom.
03:35 Remember that the top four teams are going to be the ones that will be playing the semifinal.
03:39 And that's how your points table is this evening.
03:41 Mohin, what a great victory there for Afghanistan.
03:45 Yes, it was a convincing victory.
03:49 The way they planned it.
03:51 First of all, let's talk about the bowling.
03:54 They restricted it well.
03:56 They bowled really well.
04:00 The mistake that Sri Lankan team made was in the batting.
04:05 The batsmen didn't take any chances.
04:07 They tried to accelerate.
04:09 We talked about the pitch. The pitch was very good.
04:11 They managed the chase very easily.
04:15 They just built the partnerships.
04:17 I think it was wonderful, especially three partnerships while chasing 242 runs.
04:22 And at the end, they were very calculated.
04:25 They didn't take any chance unnecessarily.
04:28 I think that's why when you chase, it's very important for you to have the wicket in hand.
04:32 And that they did actually.
04:34 I think it was a convincing win.
04:36 In all three fields, whether it's batting, bowling and fielding.
04:43 A little bit unfortunate for Sri Lankans.
04:45 Some catches were dropped.
04:47 But Afghanistan was the best.
04:51 I think they won the match convincingly.
04:53 Right.
04:54 Shoaib Gurbaaz, I think he did the keeping in the second over.
04:58 Was that the reason why he couldn't get a start today?
05:00 Because he was dismissed.
05:02 I think the ball which he got out on,
05:07 that ball could have gone out to any batter.
05:12 I guess he's pretty fit.
05:14 I've played a lot of cricket with him, against him as well.
05:18 He's very fit.
05:19 Keeping him in the game doesn't help him much.
05:22 But I want to discuss this Sri Lankan batting.
05:27 The total, the venue, I think the stats are 300 runs, 300+
05:34 They all got the start.
05:37 Except the new opener they played today.
05:41 Apart from that, Nisanka, Kushal Mendes and Sadeera.
05:44 Three of them got the start.
05:47 But they couldn't convert.
05:49 Nisanka was 46, Mendes was 39, Sadeera was 36.
05:54 If they had converted in the 70s or 80s,
05:58 the total of 241 runs would have gone to 280-290.
06:04 And the batters of Afghanistan could have been affected.
06:09 But anything below on a good surface, anything around 250,
06:14 they have chased down even 280+ against Pakistan.
06:19 So they always had that confidence moving forward in a game.
06:22 By no means it's the same Afghanistan that we all thought that they were.
06:26 They have come out in this World Cup, all guns blazing.
06:29 Let me bring this conversation to you, Miswa.
06:31 Ashmatullah Shahidi, what a captain he's turning out to be.
06:35 What a team he's putting behind him.
06:37 And most of these guys are going to play for a very long time.
06:39 First of all, I want to congratulate the team of Afghanistan.
06:44 Especially their coaching staff, Jonathan Trott, and all the other people.
06:50 Afghanistan, the way they play cricket,
06:55 I want to congratulate them and praise them as much as I can.
07:01 We will definitely talk about the players and their performances.
07:05 But right from the start, the most difficult thing was that
07:09 you changed the conditions of a performer.
07:14 Which was a difficult decision. We were discussing it.
07:17 How to make Noor sit.
07:20 They brought the right man in.
07:22 That was the man of the match.
07:24 The best thing is that a team is confident.
07:28 You made a change and that paid off.
07:30 Then, toss.
07:32 What is the strength of Afghanistan?
07:34 We all say it's bowling.
07:36 So they will bat first.
07:38 But they are confident.
07:40 They saw the due, they planned everything.
07:42 After winning the toss, we were also a little worried at that time.
07:46 They bowled first.
07:48 They backed themselves.
07:50 And then, captaincy.
07:52 The way they utilized the bowlers, that was great.
07:56 Timely, Mujeeb got the wickets from the top.
08:01 And the way Farooqi bowled from the top,
08:05 built pressure.
08:07 And then the way they brought Mujeeb back,
08:10 that was a masterstroke.
08:13 And then, Kushal, Mendes, Sidhira, Samra, Vikrama,
08:16 had a partnership.
08:18 Mujeeb bowled them both out.
08:20 And that set the tone.
08:22 So overall, you saw in the batting,
08:25 the way they chased down the ball in the batting,
08:30 it was a clinical performance.
08:33 Well planned, well deserved victory.
08:35 You said Mohit, Sri Lankan batsmen didn't take any risks.
08:40 What was left?
08:42 Why did they suddenly go into their shell?
08:44 Was there something in the pitch?
08:46 Did they misread the pitch?
08:48 Or were they thinking,
08:50 "We have a score of 250, so we'll defend."
08:52 What was going on there with Sri Lanka?
08:54 I think, when you bowl wickets,
08:58 naturally, there's pressure.
09:00 I think, under that pressure,
09:02 they were under a lot of pressure.
09:05 But I don't think they tried.
09:07 Otherwise, you do counterattack a little.
09:09 And that's necessary at times.
09:11 You have to explore your options.
09:13 If you're getting caught,
09:15 like Mizma said,
09:17 the utilization of the bowlers against them
09:19 was very good, very fine.
09:21 They weren't given any chance.
09:23 You're bowling at a place
09:25 where you're bringing in batsmen under pressure.
09:28 And the job of the batsmen is
09:30 to counterattack and release the pressure.
09:32 I don't think they were able to do that.
09:35 But unfortunately,
09:37 like we just talked about,
09:39 Shoaib said,
09:41 "They got a good start."
09:43 But they couldn't convert.
09:45 Because they were not ready to take the risk.
09:47 And that's why I think
09:49 the total score was so low.
09:51 Otherwise, the 300-odd power score
09:53 should have been there.
09:55 It should have gone up to 280.
09:57 I think they missed an opportunity.
09:59 Alright, folks.
10:01 You must be thinking,
10:03 "Where is Waseem Akram?"
10:05 I know the whole country must be thinking,
10:07 "Waseem Akram had a family commitment
10:09 that came out of nowhere,
10:11 but he had to take the evening off."
10:13 And you know what? Frankly speaking,
10:15 the man deserves some rest.
10:17 Because he's been really at it
10:19 throughout this World Cup.
10:21 So we wish him a wonderful evening.
10:23 But for now, we'll take a short break.
10:25 We'll see you on the other side of the break.
10:27 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
10:29 I'm Fakhr-Anand. You're watching
10:31 Sports and Sports and the ARY Zap app.
10:33 The news at the ICC Men's World Cup
10:35 is that Afghanistan have won their game
10:37 against Sri Lanka and have climbed up
10:39 to the fifth place on the table.
10:41 And that's how things are looking
10:43 for them.
10:45 It's just great news to have now.
10:47 We were talking about the game.
10:49 Let's talk about the Afghanistan
10:51 batting misfire. Let's go through
10:53 how they batted.
10:55 I mean, there was a target.
10:57 It looked like they were going to challenge it.
10:59 Looking at Sri Lanka's batting,
11:01 it looked like it was a difficult wicket.
11:03 There were a lot of things that we couldn't understand.
11:05 But Afghanistan made it look very easy.
11:07 Very calculated.
11:09 They batted really well.
11:11 I think the top three batters
11:13 in the first over
11:15 were out.
11:17 Their main batsman,
11:19 who is in form and creates a big difference,
11:21 was out.
11:23 But the score wasn't that challenging.
11:25 That was one thing.
11:27 The second was the sensible batting.
11:29 Ibrahim Zahedran and Ahmed Shah's partnership
11:31 absorbed all the pressure.
11:33 They took the partnership.
11:35 They batted very sensibly.
11:37 And when the wicket fell for
11:39 Ibrahim Zahedran,
11:41 the captain came and played
11:43 a great serving.
11:45 It was a very mature performance
11:47 from their batters.
11:49 Time and again, the top three
11:51 batsmen are proving
11:53 that they play cricketing shots.
11:55 Look at those shots.
11:57 By quality,
11:59 you can compare them
12:01 to any top batsman in the world.
12:03 They are playing
12:05 great front foot shots,
12:07 back foot shots.
12:09 They are playing the ball on merit.
12:11 The best thing in Afghanistan's batting lineup
12:13 was the panic.
12:15 If you bat well,
12:17 if you bat a little,
12:19 you could have
12:21 hit a shot and been out.
12:23 In this World Cup,
12:25 recently in Pakistan's games,
12:27 they have shown
12:29 that there is no tension.
12:31 We will do what is required of us.
12:33 We are standing.
12:35 I think that confidence
12:37 was given to their top order
12:39 by their lower middle order.
12:41 If we take it a little back,
12:43 the Pakistan cricket team
12:45 was playing like this.
12:47 Shaheen, Rauf, Naseem Shah
12:49 and the spinners in the middle
12:51 were in good form.
12:53 What happened was,
12:55 they used to bring their own
12:57 conventional cricket.
12:59 Our top three batters
13:01 were consistently making runs.
13:03 The same formation
13:05 has come in the team of Afghanistan.
13:07 They keep the target
13:09 somewhere around
13:11 250-260 on a good wicket.
13:13 Their three batters
13:15 have started making runs
13:17 in the middle order.
13:19 They have started playing in the same formation.
13:21 I guess you can relate
13:23 that the Pakistan cricket team
13:25 was playing in the recent past
13:27 and was taking success.
13:29 Afghanistan has come in the same
13:31 formation.
13:33 I guess now they have started
13:35 making runs in the middle order.
13:37 The team they out
13:39 on a good pitch,
13:41 there was an element
13:43 that after winning the toss,
13:45 they should bat first, bowl first,
13:47 chase first, the other team
13:49 made some runs.
13:51 Hats off to them.
13:53 As Misma Bhai said,
13:55 we must appreciate their
13:57 team time.
13:59 Sorry Misma,
14:01 I am just wondering
14:03 how to compare
14:05 Nisanka and Mendes
14:07 partnership?
14:09 Let's show you Nisanka and Mendes partnership.
14:11 Let's see their partnership.
14:13 You just saw
14:15 Afghanistan's partnership.
14:17 How do you compare it?
14:19 Please show us.
14:21 The main difference
14:23 is that
14:25 when you are setting a target,
14:27 then you have
14:29 to just look at the
14:31 pass score. We can see
14:33 300 in this ground.
14:35 We didn't see anywhere
14:37 that Sri Lanka
14:39 is looking at the pass score.
14:41 You are waiting and you won't even attack the fast ball.
14:43 It was a very good partnership.
14:45 They played well.
14:47 We didn't see
14:49 300 runs.
14:51 We saw Rashid
14:53 and Mujib coming.
14:55 It was difficult.
14:57 Their pace attack,
14:59 the under pressure
15:01 Naveen Ul Haq
15:03 and Azmat Omar Zaheer
15:05 didn't even attack them.
15:07 This is the difference.
15:09 Sadeera took the initiative.
15:11 But they brought
15:13 Mujib very intelligently.
15:15 He wasn't able to pick up the ball.
15:17 Once he got him,
15:19 then there was no momentum.
15:21 The match that went
15:23 from Sri Lanka to them,
15:25 they got the start. One got out quickly.
15:27 The other two got a partnership.
15:29 The same thing happened in Afghanistan.
15:31 One got out in their team and then got a partnership.
15:33 The difference was 11th to
15:35 40th over.
15:37 Sri Lanka made 144 runs.
15:39 87 dot balls.
15:41 But wickets,
15:43 they gave 6 wickets.
15:45 6 wickets.
15:47 Their 11th to 40th
15:49 over, 150 runs.
15:51 They scored in Afghanistan.
15:53 Gave 2 wickets.
15:55 This is the difference that took the match
15:57 from Sri Lanka.
15:59 When you
16:01 bat well,
16:03 the same
16:05 formation,
16:07 the other team has to play well.
16:09 I guess we must
16:11 give credit to Afghanistan.
16:13 They fixed every problem during the World Cup.
16:15 This is a very good thing.
16:17 Actually, Mohit, it's good that Shoaib
16:19 touched on this. I was thinking
16:21 to ask you, this is a very
16:23 interesting thing.
16:25 They don't have a cricket board
16:27 like we have.
16:29 We have so many people.
16:31 You know, in management,
16:33 there are many directors.
16:35 Then there are regional coaches,
16:37 divisional coaches.
16:39 This is the reason.
16:41 There is no one direction.
16:43 You have basically summarized that up.
16:45 You were saying,
16:47 they don't have a…
16:49 You said it before my question.
16:51 Clean board, Yorker.
16:53 He is sitting here.
16:55 I forgot.
16:57 Okay.
16:59 He is right.
17:01 He is sitting here and saying,
17:03 I didn't get a contract.
17:05 Chairman Technical Committee.
17:07 He is right. You are absolutely right.
17:09 This is not a question.
17:11 You are teaching me a lesson.
17:13 No.
17:15 The main thing is your
17:17 personal wish, will as a player.
17:19 You approach yourself.
17:21 You set your standards.
17:23 You are ready for big competitions.
17:25 I think the most important thing while
17:27 chasing, the target they are getting
17:29 is under 300.
17:31 Because of which they have this hope
17:33 that if we keep the wicket in hand
17:35 we can win.
17:37 And they are applying it.
17:39 Rather taking any risk.
17:41 Their actual flair in the game,
17:43 the hits they hit,
17:45 they have started stopping those hits.
17:47 We saw in both the matches
17:49 that they played proper cricketing shots.
17:51 Look at how their chase is set.
17:53 During the match,
17:55 a board came which was in their dugout.
17:57 They bring it on your screen.
17:59 I mentioned this while watching you.
18:01 I said, it is very simple.
18:03 Look at this board.
18:05 They have written 10 overs, 50, 20, 100,
18:07 30, 150,
18:09 40, 200,
18:11 48 overs.
18:13 Look at that.
18:15 48, 242.
18:17 We have to finish this chase in 48th over.
18:19 And if you look closely,
18:21 from the red marker,
18:23 what they have done,
18:25 how much they have done.
18:27 They had set 100 targets.
18:29 How much they have achieved is written.
18:31 That's a very interesting, simple...
18:33 We write more than this.
18:35 But the problem is...
18:37 I am talking about something
18:39 which is very important.
18:41 In both the chases,
18:43 they have scored less than 300.
18:45 No doubt, they performed really well.
18:47 But against those teams
18:49 who bat against them and score 300+ runs,
18:51 there, they can be tested.
18:53 But Mohin,
18:55 if you set a target of 300+
18:57 for any team,
18:59 it becomes a game.
19:01 We... Sorry, no disrespect to Afghanistan.
19:03 They have just proven themselves.
19:05 No, no, they played well.
19:07 But we all used to think
19:09 how will this happen in Afghanistan?
19:11 I am talking about when you achieve a step,
19:13 naturally, after that,
19:15 there is another step.
19:17 If you can score 300 runs against them,
19:19 then naturally, they will have to apply things.
19:21 They will have to play a little aggressive.
19:23 Sometimes, they will have to take risks.
19:25 There is another difference in Mohin.
19:27 He is talking about the chases.
19:29 That they scored more than 300.
19:31 No, New Zealand played against them
19:33 280+ runs and they outed them
19:35 in 149.
19:37 For that, your bowling
19:39 should not have any holes.
19:41 Then you are bowling right from the start.
19:43 New bowlers are good.
19:45 Then they had Loki Ferguson.
19:47 Then there was Santner.
19:49 When they chased Pakistan's games,
19:51 we were missing in the middle overs.
19:53 We were depending on one or two bowlers.
19:55 That basically gave them the chance.
19:57 They knew that
19:59 and this is the best thing about them.
20:01 They are seeing that
20:03 there is no problem.
20:05 There is no depth in Sri Lanka's bowling
20:07 that if we play,
20:09 we will just score those runs.
20:11 They played that with a lot of plan.
20:13 I think they were lucky too.
20:15 They were lucky too that
20:17 in both the matches,
20:19 if you see Pakistan's bowling,
20:21 it was a wayward bowling.
20:23 They were not ready to hit.
20:25 They were not ready to hit.
20:27 I am not talking about the first
20:29 but you are right.
20:31 I am understanding your point.
20:33 I think in their batting chase,
20:35 they have not been tested
20:37 with any such bowling attack.
20:39 The difference is that
20:41 they raised their confidence.
20:43 Yes.
20:45 This is one element.
20:47 The second problem is
20:49 I am coming to you.
20:51 Look,
20:53 I am coming to you.
20:55 Come here.
20:57 We will handle this.
20:59 They are fighting among themselves.
21:01 The second issue was
21:03 in the middle overs.
21:05 They started playing a lot of dot balls.
21:07 They started getting out.
21:09 Now what they did
21:11 Azmatullah Umar Rai
21:13 made runs
21:15 in 73-63 balls.
21:17 He hit 6 fours and 3 sixes.
21:19 He made 42 runs.
21:21 He said
21:23 there is no strike rotation.
21:25 Increase the boundaries.
21:27 Start playing on the boundaries.
21:29 They found a way
21:31 how to chase down
21:33 which is under their control.
21:35 They worked hard.
21:37 They found a way in the World Cup.
21:39 It's the biggest achievement.
21:41 It's the biggest achievement.
21:43 Congratulations to Afghanistan
21:45 and all Afghanistan fans.
21:47 They deserve to celebrate this.
21:49 We wish you all the best.
21:51 You have more games ahead of you.
21:53 We wish you a lot more success.
21:55 Our brothers and sisters
21:57 have seen
21:59 a difficult era.
22:01 They truly deserve
22:03 some happiness that brings them together.
22:05 Something to celebrate
22:07 and to be happy about.
22:09 Congratulations to all of you.
22:11 With that, we are going to take a break.
22:13 We will see you on the other side.
22:15 Welcome back to the Pavilion.
22:17 I am Fakhr-e-Alam.
22:19 You are watching Sports10 Sports
22:21 and the AYY Zapp app.
22:23 Our continued coverage of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.
22:25 The news is that Afghanistan have won their game
22:27 against Sri Lanka.
22:29 They march on now.
22:31 They are definitely in the hunt for a place,
22:33 a spot in the top four.
22:35 We wish them all the best.
22:37 A big congratulations to all the Afghan fans around the world.
22:39 With me in the Pavilion,
22:41 I am joined by three very special
22:43 cricketing minds.
22:45 Three former captains of Pakistan.
22:47 I have got Shoaib Malik, Miswal Haq, Moeen Khan.
22:49 Waseem Akram has gone missing.
22:51 I know that you are all wondering where he has gone.
22:53 So, Waseem.
22:55 The Pavilion will miss our brother Waseem a lot today.
22:57 Waseem is not there today.
22:59 He is going to be...
23:01 You can give him a few slaps.
23:03 Oh, no.
23:05 Oh, no.
23:07 Misbah has said so many things.
23:09 You can give him a few slaps.
23:11 Let's have a discussion.
23:13 What do you want to discuss?
23:15 Chairman of the Technical Committee.
23:17 You can discuss whatever you want.
23:19 You won't get another chance.
23:21 You can come to Sifah anytime.
23:23 This is your chance.
23:25 You can ask whatever you want.
23:27 You can tell me later.
23:29 I want to do what I am here for.
23:31 I see an opportunity.
23:33 Since Inzamam has resigned.
23:35 We can call Misbah.
23:37 As chairman.
23:39 Chief Selector.
23:41 We can make him interim chief selector.
23:43 Until the inquiry is completed.
23:45 This clip will be released.
23:47 And they will make a video of this.
23:49 And they will spread the news that you were conspiring.
23:51 So, don't say such things.
23:53 Pakistan Cricket Board's matters.
23:55 Conspiracy.
23:57 I don't know who did it.
23:59 But I feel I should talk about interim chief selector.
24:01 Okay.
24:03 Misbah will be more important.
24:05 But you took permission.
24:07 Sorry.
24:09 Did you get a call from cricket board?
24:11 I don't have such a hobby.
24:13 We will stop it right there.
24:21 Right Misbah.
24:23 What's the way forward for Afghanistan?
24:25 Because now they are in a very good position.
24:27 The team is confident.
24:29 The team has momentum with them.
24:31 What should be their way forward in this tournament now?
24:33 I think they have given a clear message.
24:35 They have been giving it since the last matches.
24:37 In fact, when they didn't win the first match.
24:39 They were saying that we are not here to win one game.
24:41 We are here to excel in the semis.
24:43 So, that's their target.
24:45 I think they will try.
24:47 They are very close.
24:49 They can give a tough time to any team.
24:51 They are playing very well as a team.
24:53 They are clicking bowling.
24:55 They are fast bowling.
24:57 Their fast bowlers have also done good bowling.
24:59 And they are batting.
25:01 Overall, they are playing very well.
25:03 They are in the top and middle order.
25:05 So, I think they are ready.
25:07 And they will win one or two more games.
25:09 And they will be in the top four.
25:11 Misbah is playing with a very tough team.
25:13 They are playing against South Africa.
25:15 I think, the teams they have beaten.
25:17 England was not in such a difficult position.
25:19 When Afghanistan defeated them on that pitch.
25:21 Then Pakistan, now Sri Lanka.
25:23 So, anything can happen.
25:25 They will try.
25:27 They will try.
25:29 They will try.
25:31 So, anything can happen.
25:33 First, they scared us with their talks.
25:35 Now, they have done it.
25:37 They scared us with their work.
25:39 That's why.
25:41 8-Bit Gulkan. See you all after the break.
25:43 Welcome back from the break.
25:49 Over to you.
25:51 Thank you very much, Shoaib.
25:53 That was quite an innings that you played right now.
25:55 Before going into the break.
25:57 You should have told #AskThePavilion.
25:59 That's how you come.
26:01 Well done. Really well done, buddy.
26:03 What should we do now?
26:05 Ask the Pavilion.
26:07 Jassipayee.
26:09 Tell them, it's #AskThePavilion.
26:11 #AskThePavilion.
26:13 #AskThePavilion.
26:15 Okay.
26:17 Rahul Sharma1729.
26:19 You have a question.
26:21 What is the main reason
26:23 behind the declining viewership of the ODI World Cup?
26:25 Is it the longer format
26:27 that has been going this year
26:29 or the lack of interest that is going
26:31 in with the teams regarding ODI?
26:33 Any other reasons?
26:35 What do you think?
26:37 Because, by the way,
26:39 it's been said that the World Cup
26:41 is not getting viewership.
26:43 On the screen?
26:45 Yes, the viewership on television.
26:47 One of the main reasons,
26:49 I think, is the performance of Pakistan.
26:51 There are a lot of followers of Pakistan's cricket.
26:53 This is the main reason.
26:55 Mohin, there are a lot of followers of India.
26:57 They are playing good.
26:59 Then the following should not be disturbed.
27:01 Mohin, the simple answer is
27:03 that you can't sit here for half an hour.
27:05 By the way,
27:07 socially,
27:09 I think you have a...
27:11 You watch the game in bits and pieces
27:13 because an ODI game takes
27:15 around 8 hours to play 100 overs.
27:17 You also have to
27:19 take a break.
27:21 So, I guess, if you look at it in bits and pieces,
27:23 maybe this is one of the reasons.
27:25 Alright. Next question.
27:27 SRIPK
27:29 Sorry, your X-handle is
27:31 @PXSRivistava
27:33 @PXSRivistava
27:35 @PXSRivistava
27:37 That's how you are identified on X.
27:39 Asa Pavilion
27:41 Cricket is going towards data-driven like NFL.
27:43 The Football League in America.
27:45 Here in USA.
27:47 What do you think the importance of data,
27:49 literacy of players
27:51 going forward in team's success?
27:53 I bring this to you.
27:55 The literacy of the player
27:57 to understand what the data
27:59 that has been given to him
28:01 and how will that drive the team's success in the future?
28:03 It's very important.
28:05 Yesterday, someone asked me
28:07 a question
28:09 about how much your education helped you.
28:11 All these things are very important.
28:13 If you are a math student,
28:15 if you have studied science,
28:17 or at some stage,
28:19 you have done your education,
28:21 then you will understand
28:23 all these mathematical equations
28:25 and you can analyze them
28:27 in a better way.
28:29 Without literacy,
28:31 especially data literacy,
28:33 I think it is very important.
28:35 Because
28:37 anyone will give you
28:39 an average,
28:41 or a strike rate.
28:43 From that,
28:45 you have to see
28:47 what the situation is,
28:49 what the bowling against is,
28:51 what the boundaries are,
28:53 what the situation is.
28:55 You have to see all these things
28:57 and then you can use that data.
28:59 How can we make young players data literate?
29:01 How do we educate them on the data?
29:03 You are the head coach of Pakistan team.
29:05 Was there any conversation
29:07 at that time
29:09 that I want to educate these guys
29:11 to read the data?
29:13 When you come to this level,
29:15 you discuss in the innings
29:17 and your analyst tells you.
29:19 When he guides us,
29:21 he tells us the situation.
29:23 It is your job to ask him.
29:25 Not that in the last 5 innings,
29:27 this is good, this is average,
29:29 in the 10th inning, this is average.
29:31 When you need something specifically,
29:33 you take the targeted data
29:35 from him,
29:37 which tells you what to do here.
29:39 I want to add one thing to this.
29:41 Distribution of your practice session
29:43 and these kind of meetings
29:45 where the data
29:47 will provide to the players.
29:49 I think the more important
29:51 your practice session is,
29:53 the more important it is
29:55 to give time to the meeting.
29:57 Because the more information
29:59 you gather,
30:01 you have a better chance of
30:03 getting the success
30:05 the day you are playing.
30:07 This is very important.
30:09 Sometimes you come after practice session
30:11 and you are half asleep
30:13 because of the heat.
30:15 So I guess you should give
30:17 the same time to the meeting.
30:19 I will give an example.
30:21 For example,
30:23 you saw the strike rate
30:25 of a player and the average
30:27 of his left arm spin
30:29 is 50.
30:31 And his strike rate is above 100.
30:33 If he is telling you
30:35 about 50 innings
30:37 or 50 matches,
30:39 you are being cheated.
30:41 Because in recent times,
30:43 it is possible that in the last 6 or 10 innings,
30:45 he got out of the game
30:47 because of his left arm spinner.
30:49 And if his recent average is less
30:51 and he is struggling,
30:53 then it is very important
30:55 that you see that and then the conditions also.
30:57 Right. So basically,
30:59 understanding and interpreting
31:01 the data is very very important
31:03 and its relevance is relative
31:05 with this time frame.
31:07 This example should be related
31:09 to Multan Sultan.
31:11 Yeah.
31:13 Data driven, especially if they are fielding.
31:15 I thought Islamabad United was the data driven team.
31:17 The first one was Islamabad United, wasn't it?
31:19 No, Multan Sultan for sure.
31:21 What they do is,
31:23 when the captain goes to the field,
31:25 they get instructions from outside.
31:27 They put a board outside.
31:29 First over, they distribute it.
31:31 Right.
31:33 Normally, there are 5 bowlers.
31:35 But here, they say,
31:37 number 1 will do the first over, number 4.
31:39 So, there are 5 bowlers.
31:41 They do the same overs.
31:43 Amazing.
31:45 I will tell you about it and
31:47 I will tell you about Islamabad.
31:49 When I went to play for the first time in PSL,
31:51 our analyst
31:53 shared some facts
31:55 about his batting with me.
31:57 Your own batting.
31:59 I was surprised.
32:01 He said, "Oh, you see it like this.
32:03 When the left arm spinner comes,
32:05 normally out of 100 times,
32:07 you will play the first 2 balls like this.
32:09 When you play the first 2 balls like this,
32:11 then you
32:13 hit this shot 8 times out of 10.
32:15 This is your release shot.
32:17 After the bouncer,
32:19 the next game will be this one.
32:21 They collect the data and
32:23 give you such information.
32:25 Because a pattern was set by a player,
32:27 you get help that I have to change this pattern.
32:29 People will know this.
32:31 Alright, question for Shoaib.
32:33 The conversation is getting more and more.
32:35 I remember one more thing.
32:37 He said,
32:39 "Believe me, Mohin Bhai,
32:41 Fakhar Bhai and Mishpa Bhai,
32:43 after playing 500 T20s,
32:45 I was playing in Bangladesh,
32:47 an analyst came to me and said,
32:49 "Can I tell you
32:51 something about your batting?"
32:53 I said, "Yes, tell me."
32:55 He said, "If you hit a boundary
32:57 in your first 4 balls,
32:59 the balls you faced,
33:01 so your chances of scoring
33:03 with this strike rate
33:05 are this."
33:07 I said, "Give me proof."
33:09 He gave me the data.
33:11 I said, "Wow."
33:13 Well, there's a science behind all of these things.
33:15 We wish we could talk more about it.
33:17 I think in the days ahead,
33:19 we'll try to talk more about it.
33:21 I think it's a very interesting topic.
33:23 Your ex-handle is NoCricketContext.
33:25 You have asked a question to Shoaib Malik.
33:27 Shoaib Malik couldn't complete
33:29 his century versus Zimbabwe
33:31 in 2015 due to bad light
33:33 and Pakistan lost the match
33:35 by 5 runs DLS.
33:37 What was Zimbabwe players'
33:39 behavior when they knew
33:41 they were ahead of DLS and stopped Pakistan
33:43 from victory? Question for Malik.
33:45 I still remember
33:47 they didn't have any
33:49 such behavior.
33:51 They were trying their best to
33:53 bowl those overs.
33:55 They were not trying to delay
33:57 the game.
33:59 But I guess
34:01 these kinds of tactics
34:03 are their acceptance.
34:05 I understand this.
34:07 But as such, there was nothing
34:09 where they were trying to delay the game.
34:11 Okay. Alright. I hope you have
34:13 your answer there. Ravel Zahid.
34:15 Your ex-handle is RavelRVELZahid.
34:17 Ravel Zahid is asking,
34:19 "What changes have you observed
34:21 in Afghanistan's
34:23 game awareness and
34:25 tactical sense in this World Cup?"
34:27 Mohit, you take this one.
34:29 What we just discussed,
34:31 their sense of
34:33 chasing the runs, has improved.
34:35 We saw this in the
34:37 initial matches.
34:39 We told them that
34:41 whenever they win a toss, they should
34:43 bat first. Because we can see
34:45 a flaw in their game.
34:47 I think one of the main
34:49 important factors is
34:51 that they have overcome this.
34:53 But I also think that
34:55 their target is also
34:57 close to where
34:59 they think they can go.
35:01 I think their main thing
35:03 is that they have adopted
35:05 wickets in hand.
35:07 That's why they are able to achieve their target.
35:09 Alright. With that, we are going to take a break
35:11 right here on The Pavilion. When we come back,
35:13 there are more questions from #AskThePavilion.
35:15 Don't go away. Keep watching.
35:17 [Music]
35:19 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
35:21 I am Fakhran Ammar, the co-host of
35:23 10 Sports and the RYS App.
35:25 The news is that Afghanistan has won
35:27 their game against Sri Lanka. Big congratulations
35:29 to Team Afghanistan, to all the Afghanistan fans
35:31 and especially to Jonathan Trott
35:33 and the entire staff that have made
35:35 this news unit that we are
35:37 seeing right now. With that, #AskThePavilion
35:39 continues. The next question we have
35:41 is from Hassan. Hassan, your
35:43 ex-handle is Khan Pakistan
35:45 321.
35:47 You have asked, "Salaam all.
35:49 Why, despite
35:51 8 years of Pakistan Super League,
35:53 Pak Stadium's
35:55 player pool are not
35:57 catching up to India?
35:59 Indian cricket changed 180 degrees
36:01 after IPL. They won
36:03 11 World Cups due to
36:05 not 11, I think that won't be right, right?
36:07 They've won a lot of World Cups maybe.
36:09 They have more than
36:11 2011 World Cups.
36:13 Sorry, they won the 2011 World Cup.
36:15 They have more than 30 Super Stadiums.
36:17 How will Pak host Champions Trophy
36:19 in our below-par stadiums?
36:21 Gentlemen.
36:23 [Hindi]
36:51 [Hindi]
36:59 [Hindi]
37:19 [Hindi]
37:47 [Hindi]
37:57 [Hindi]
38:07 [Hindi]
38:21 [Hindi]
38:27 [Hindi]
38:33 [Hindi]
38:43 Gentlemen.
38:45 Gentlemen.
38:47 [Hindi]
39:15 He had won the last of the T20 world cup.
39:18 So when you go to one side, you also have to pay a price.
39:23 But now, England is dominating the test by making batting pitches.
39:31 It's all about basically vision.
39:35 The second thing is that if you can make bowling-friendly pitches,
39:40 you don't get the skill of a player.
39:45 You have to be creative as a bowler.
39:52 You have to explore your deliveries and options.
39:58 You learn the plan in this way.
40:00 You have to develop your Yorkers and variations.
40:05 You have to know when to bounce and when not to.
40:07 So the most important thing is to play on pitches like these.
40:11 England is gaining votes and producing fast bowlers.
40:17 So I think overall, you have a good package.
40:24 You will get good batsmen and fast bowlers.
40:26 You can even develop good spinners.
40:29 Previously, we saw that we had big stars.
40:33 They came from all the systems.
40:36 In the last few years, we saw that you started making grassy pitches.
40:42 This raised a question.
40:43 You can never develop your skill as a bowler on those pitches.
40:46 Your captain will tell you to go to Soti.
40:50 The ball will work on its own and you will keep getting wickets.
40:53 I think on pitches like these, you have to develop your vision.
40:59 You have to use your mind.
41:01 Then you get the creativity to explore your options.
41:06 Alright, fair enough.
41:07 Today, when we were pre-matching,
41:09 we were watching a video of Wasim Akram.
41:14 Wasim Akram was looking at a photo.
41:16 You know, Agha and Bata's duo was a big hit in our pavilion.
41:20 Agha being Wasim Akram and Bata being Makar Younis.
41:23 Agha showed a picture of Bata, which everyone saw.
41:27 I posted it on my social media.
41:30 You know, Bata is in India and is doing a World Cup commentary.
41:34 He sent me a few pictures of Wasim.
41:39 He asked me to see if I was impartial and whether I would show it or not.
41:44 We were also lucky.
41:46 We didn't know if it was good or bad.
41:48 We didn't know that Wasim was not there.
41:50 So, we have the pictures.
41:51 Wasim, you know that we are missing you in the studio.
41:55 That's why we thought that we should admire you more.
41:59 One more thing.
42:00 One minute.
42:01 One more thing.
42:02 After the pictures, none of us will talk.
42:05 We will show them again tomorrow.
