Pakistan Vs India - 2017 Champions Trophy Final

[singlefighter]

True that. We are a nation of spinners.

But Pakistan has not produced decent batsman in its entire history let alone producing a Sachin Tendulkar

What about hanif muhammad who spent the longest time on crease 1100 minutes world record,499 runs in first class,337 not out in test against w.indies in w.indies .
Zaheer abbas 100 centuries. Asian bradman called by english media,8 dounble hundreds, highest 275 against india,7 hundreds in 37 ODI.
Javed miandad legend batsmanhighest run scorer in the past for Pakistan and bat carry through the innings and many record which all cricket knows.and famous sharjah six, 6 world cup he played.
Salim malik who got fame after playing against india in nehru cup and snatch the victory from indiansso many his performances against diffrent nation specially against india
Saeed anwar legend,242 matches 20 hundreds,5 against india famous 194 at chennai in indian azadi cup,more than 8000 ODI runs.
Inzamam ul haq,another legend, highest run scorer for Pakistan in ODI,100 ODI fifties and many records dozen of matches only win because of his innings,cool player with highest score in test 329 runs.
Then younis khan best test player in recent history.
Aamir sohail,abdul razaq,Moin khan,wasim akram,ijaz ahmed,asif iqbal,majid khan,abdul hafeez kardar,sadiq muhammad,shoaib muhammad,azhar mahmod,kamran akmal,misbah ul haq all these players scores so many times in abroad not like the tendulkar ,tiger of home ground and lamb on abroad.

Actually Junaid went through an injury

The nature of game is such that for a similar injury, bowlers take much longer time to return to same performance than batsman. So let us give Junaid some time before he hits rhythm.

easy to restrict Indian batsmen

Certainly not.
Key would be some early wickets and if our batsman continue the way as in earlier matches, Final too appears to be a high scoring contest.
Personally i would like no love to watch a low scoring thriller, as we used to have in early 90s.

Any analysis what is Pakistan's advantage over India this time?

well most certainly their Fast bowling. If we can see a disciplined bowling and reasonably well fielding effort, it would be great clash of Indian batting prowess with a sustained Fast bowling from Pakistan.

Virat kohli on song and india chased down 321 in 36 overs just for that extra bonus point.
Have fun.

hanif muhammad

Hanif Sahab was in league of his own.
Even Indian test greats like Dravid and Gavaskar Sir, who are known for their temperament, rate Hanif as one of the finest Asian batsman.

india will win. pak team reached final by a stroke of luck. amir will remain wicket less, junaid will get 1, hassan 1-2. if india bats first then they will score 320 + and pak will be bowled out under 200 . if pak bats first they will give target of about 240- 250 which india will achieve in less then 40 overs at loss of max 3 wickets. the body language of pak players will be positive for the first few overs but after sometime they will start doing blunders. india can win the match in just first 5 overs if they bat first. they should play attacking cricket right from the word go . if they make 40-50 runs in first 5 overs without losing wickets pak will be on self destructing path.
advice to pak fans. dont waste your time in watching the match tomorrow. do something better.

pak should go with roman instead of amir. he bowled better then amir in the last match and has lots of variety. if pak management is bent upon playing amir then they should drop shadab .indian batsmen play spin really well. for the last one yr or so pak was bent upon playing with wahab and amir and batsmen made records against them (444). now they have dropped one "ace" and the things have improved and if they drop the other"ace" things may get even better. same goes for the batting. get rid of the malik, hafeez etc. give chance to new batsmen and they may produce good results.

Similarly can be said for India after getting thrashed from srilanka

wahab riaz will be back after about 6 months just like akmal brothers and ahmad shahzad keep on coming back again and again. umar akmal will be part of the team after the collapse of the pak batting in tomorrow's match.

lots of things depend on kind of pitch, usually bharati get advantage of flat pitches which render our bowling advantage useless, i hope there is something for our pace bowlers in pitch otherwise we are in trouble if we solely depend on batting vs bharati batting in which bharatis are class apart..

it will be a flat track and india will win easily. pak bowlers will get nothing.

we defeated SA and Eng bcoz they are not good at flat tracks and against spin, which is not the case with SL or Bharatis, nonetheless we should not lose hope and should remain positive.

i hope this time pak "great" pace bowlers do not run away from the field shamelessly.

indian batsman to wahab riaz " chalo uth jao agli bowl pay nae maron ga chaka"

https://www.dawn.com/news/1340078/pakistan-ready-to-change-history-against-india
this statement is just like we strongly condemn US drone strikes inside pakistan.

 

[WAJsal]

So let us give Junaid some time before he hits rhythm.

My point exactly, you can tell by comparing him before and after injury that he isn't coming through with the same rhythm.

Personally i would like no love to watch a low scoring thriller, as we used to have in early 90s.

Even if India gives Pakistan 150 to chase it'll be a thriller.

 

[hacker J]

Just my Prediction

Pakistan will win the Toss and choose to ball first

India 280-295/6 to 7 wickets down

Pakistan will win with 3 wickets

with Wahab out these will less leak of runs
with Ahmed Shahzad out Top order is performing well

Well seing d kind of form of dhawan, rohit, kohli, yuvraj n dhoni are in u will get nothng short of 320 atleast.

[Azeem_Ahmed]

Any analysis what is Pakistan's obvious advantage over India this time?

Our junoon and jazba that will help us to win..... yes

 

[jericho]

Indian batting is good, but ppl are making it out to be unbeatable which is never true for any team. If we get their top order out early on, i sense a collapse in their team. In any case, we are gonna see what happens tomorrow.
