Samuels gets rid of kamran.

Shehzad gets his half century!

And then gets out to Williams.

Babar out for 38 to Williams.

[The Professor]

Sarfraz Ahmed has a touch of the Eoin Morgan circa 2016 about him. Doing well with the captaincy but poorly with the bat.

[Dr Cricket]

ODI is on the mix channel.
A lot of cricket being played today.

[mikesiva]

Rovman Powell and Miguel Cummins omitted from the 13....

Akmal gives it away...caught Walton off Holder for 47.

Nurse gets rid of Shehzad for 67...two down.

[Dr Cricket]

if pakistan somehow find a way to lose this game, they are embarrassing White ball cricket team and most likely going to struggle in Test as well when the batting of Younis, and misbah retire.

[rich1uk]

they could have played the benny hill theme to that montage of the paksitan batsmen attempts at running between the wickets, if the WI fielding had been sharper they could have had about 6 runouts

[Dr Cricket]

with this showing not sure both teams deserve to be in the next world cup.
