When Pakistan participates in big matches they play weakly, while they should build strength within themselves by playing well, but they are not able to do so in any way. In today's match too, they are playing against a weak team against whom they have scored only 146 runs which is very low. If their bowling is not strong, it will be easy for UAE to win this match. UAE batsmen are playing and they have scored 44 runs in 7 overs so far. Pakistan bowlers are trying to stop UAE's run and their hard work can make it quite easy. But I hope Pakistan will win this match because their bowling is moving towards success. If they lead themselves towards negligence then this victory will become a very bad defeat for them.

First of all, there was doubt about whether the Pakistan vs United Arab Emirates match would be held, but even though the match started an hour late, Pakistan really performed badly in the first innings against United Arab Emirates. I never expected to see such a performance from a team like Pakistan in such a big ICC tournament. Pakistan suffered a lot of batting disaster against United Arab Emirates in the first innings and they struggled a lot and scored only 146 runs for nine wickets. Initially, it seemed like United Arab Emirates batting would defeat Pakistan, but later Pakistan's bowlers bowled well and they are now on the verge of victory. While India defeated United Arab Emirates in a very limited overs, Pakistan's defeat against United Arab Emirates was possible, which proves that Pakistan is currently a much weaker team than India.

Ireland scored a big score of 196 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets against england's strong bowling order. This is undoubtedly a big achievement for Ireland. Although  they lost the match, it cannot be denied  that Ireland performed well. If Ireland's bowlers could have bowled well, they had a chance to win. England reached the target of victory in  17.4 overs losing 6 wickets. Phil Salt played the most important innings of 89 runs off 46 balls. Apart from that, Jos Buttler, Bethell and Sam curran played quite well. Buttler scored 28 runs off just 10 balls.

It is foolish to expect anything good from Pakistan. Especially their batting order performance is very erratic. Pakistani batsmen could not play well against UAE. Even then Pakistan team was able to win, congratulations to them.
Pakistan could collect only 146 runs after losing 9 wickets. Except Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Shah Afridi, no one else could bat well. Opener Sahibzada Farhan collected only 5 runs from 12 balls. Agha Salman was able to play an innings of 20 runs from 27 balls. Pakistan will play against India in Super 4. No doubt Pakistan is going to lose this match too

If Pakistan performs like this against weak team, how will they fight to win against India? If a team's condition is such that they are in a weak position at the beginning of the game, then the interest in that match starts to decrease. Pakistan's current performance is also like that. If they cannot do well against the UAE bowlers, then how will they beat the Indian bowlers? There is nothing to complain about the pitch conditions because India performs well enough and if they need a score of 200, they will collect it.

Pakistan team will play and there will be no drama there, what happens! But in the end, the game was played even though it was late and Pakistan won, congratulations to Pakistan. However, although Pakistan did not perform as expected by the audience, the target of 147 runs given to them seemed like they would win because the pitch was very slow, especially the outfield was slow. But one thing everyone should remember is that Pakistan is the most unpredictable team in the world. When they gave a target of 147 runs, I was confident because Pakistan would not play the semi-finals in the Asia Cup, which could have been very disappointing for the Pakistani audience, but Fakhar Zaman's 50 runs off 36 balls and Shaheen-shah Afridi's 29 runs off 14 balls helped Pakistan to score a fighting score, although it was not a lot of runs, but later on, because of the good bowling of the Pakistani players, they were able to keep their team in the Asia Cup.  However, it is true that it was not very difficult to chase down 146 runs, but the main reason they lost was because of the UAE's batting disaster, otherwise they had a chance to win.

Yes Pakistan have talented players but they have a weak mentality. Their batting against UAE was not good at all as they lost the crucial wicket of Saim Ayub in the first over and the second wicket for 9 runs. After the humiliating defeat against India, they needed more practice to improve their weak points but they are repeating the same mistakes. If they face India again in the Super Four, Pakistan will lose again. They are so mentally disturbed on the day of the match against India that they cannot compete. I have seen this trend in the past too. I think Pakistan team needs a major change and practice is more important to improve their mental health.

It's only because of Shaheen Shah hitting towards the end that took Pakistan score to 146. Saim Ayub got his third straight duck of this tournament. This match clearly shows how weak Pakistan batting is, if they can't play UAE bowlers then how can they face Indian and Sri Lankan bowlers in next round. Pakistan should have given a target of 180 runs in yesterday match but they struggled to score runs against UAE. This tournament has made Shaheen Shah a real all-rounder though he was previously known as genuine fast bowler.

Actually in the case of batting performance from Pakistan team in this match wasn't expected that they will got stuck in only 146 Run.
However, Pakistan team played well in the later bowling innings as I said in my post that if Pakistan team cannot take three wickets in the next pass over then the pressure will come on them but here Pakistan team was able to successfully create pressure on United Arab Emirates team and as a result of which wickets fell faster later on, and the final result gave Pakistan victory.
However, we all know what will happen in Pakistan's next match. India and Pakistan will never be able to win with their current team and form.

And what are your thoughts on today's match? Between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, which team do you want to see as the winner or do you think will win?

Their batting was big concern as they only scored 146 runs against UAE. Saim Ayub third duck in row was also problem. However best thing for Pakistan was Shaheen Shah Afridi who saved team with his quick 29 runs and took key wickets. He is becoming real all-rounder which is huge help. Win puts Pakistan in next round but they will need to fix their batting problems to compete against stronger teams like India and Sri Lanka.
