Is Pakistan's bowling decision correct after winning the toss?
Transcript
00:00 How are you seeing this big match?
00:02 How ready is the Pakistan team for this challenge?
00:05 Look, there is no other way than preparation.
00:08 And you don't have any room for mistakes.
00:10 You have won the toss, you have won the favour once again.
00:13 And the good thing is that you have won the toss and made a sensible decision.
00:16 May God bless us that the fielding of this ground is still costing us.
00:19 Otherwise, we could have won that match in Australia,
00:21 without so many runs, Pakistan could have won that match.
00:25 We got that match and it was out of your hands.
00:27 May God bless us that we don't repeat the same mistake in Bangalore.
00:30 And we move forward.
00:32 But I would like to add something to Kamran's point.
00:34 I also feel that you are missing one specialist bowler.
00:39 He should not haunt you.
00:41 You are saying spinner and fast bowler.
00:43 Whatever it is, there should have been a specialist.
00:46 He should have gone with five bowlers.
00:48 If he targets one bowler, he will get two bowlers.
00:52 Whether it is Iftikhar or Salman Ali Agha.
00:55 As Azhar is saying, Aubrey has good stats.
00:58 But keep in mind that this ground has two dimensions.
01:01 In fact, three.
01:03 It is smaller than the boundary of women's cricket.
01:05 I feel that if we attack on those two,
01:07 then we can create a mountain of runs.
01:09 May God bless us that our pacers put such a den in the beginning
01:12 that New Zealand cannot stand.
01:14 As Kamran says, the size of the side of this ground is like a stable.
01:18 So, will the small ground be beneficial if New Zealand attacks in the beginning?
01:24 The small ground is on the back.
01:26 In fact, the dimensions are not shown from the middle.
01:30 The batting is showing that dimension.
01:33 So, you feel the front is big.
01:35 When it goes to the other end, that dimension will be small and the front will be big.
01:39 So, hitting the spinners back is a sweet shot or a sweet hitting.
01:43 We will not hit early on.
01:45 One thing is that today is our first day match.
01:48 We have played all day and night matches.
01:51 New Zealand has played.
01:53 New Zealand has hit three spinners.
01:55 This is either a surprise for me or…
01:57 The thing is that I am not able to understand.
02:00 This was my question to you.
02:01 Is a spinner hitting less or not?
02:03 No, the thing is that these are the opposite ends.
02:07 You have removed your main spinner and are increasing that spinner.
02:11 They have a chance of hitting up to seven.
02:13 If you go to Sodhi or Chetan or Southie, then the match would have been over by then.
02:18 It is good that they came to take the turn.
02:21 It is good for us to get out early.
02:23 But, Williamson will play today.
02:25 It will be a very important role, as always.
02:27 Azhar, what would you say about the spinners?
02:29 There is a drastic change in both the teams.
02:33 Either the Pakistanis are not able to read the pitch.
02:38 Or they are not able to read the pitch.
02:40 We will have to see that in the match.
02:42 Both have a different composition of bowling.
02:44 Their spinners are more.
02:46 Maybe their spinners are playing more because of the injuries.
02:50 Kyle Jameson, who has just arrived, is not ready to play the game.
02:56 So, they may have some compulsion.
02:58 But, we will know that only after watching the match.
03:00 When he plays, how much spin he is taking.
03:03 But, I don't think that Fakhar and Salmani will come.
03:07 As much as they have left-handers.
03:08 I think they will cover.
03:10 Because, our spinners, Shadab and Shahababir, are not able to put a back.
03:16 So, it is better that you...
03:18 The fast bowler, Hasan Ali, was in good form.
03:22 He was not good, but at least he was bowling well.
03:24 Shaheen Afridi is back in form.
03:27 The two matches played by Wasim Junior were very good.
03:30 The most important match will be played by Haris Roke.
03:33 Will he...
03:34 Will he run and leak?
03:36 Because, he has space.
03:38 He can also come back.
03:39 But, what we have seen so far...
03:41 In the tournament...
03:43 Especially, his first 2-3 overs are very expensive.
03:46 Then, he comes and covers with the old ball.
03:48 So, try to...
03:49 Like, earlier, Basit Bhai said that there may be spin.
03:52 So, use off-spinners, especially against left-handers.
03:55 So that, Haris Roke's overs are used more on your backhand.
03:58 Absolutely right.
03:59 I think, Mr. Hashmi...
