Pakistan vs Afghanistan, Super Four, Match 4 (A2 v B2), Asia Cup, 2022 - CommentaryPAK vs AFG, Super Four, Match 4 (A2 v B2), Asia Cup, 2022 - Commentary

Bhargav: Why was Naseem Shah on strike for 18.6? The rule was changed for batters crossing while catch being taken right ---- that rule comes into effect from October 2022.

Aarush: We have seen, what is arguably the best cricket tournament since 2015. Every team seems matched up, equal to their rivals. Wonderful pitches, nail-biting finishes. For me, it doesn't matter who wins this tournament, because quality cricket certainly has won.

Sanjay: What about the time taken by the 3rd umpire? Is it also taken into account? ---- Yes!

Swapnajeet Pawar: What is the new rule for slow overrate, is it to take only one fielder inside the inner circle or no. of fielders equal to extra overs remaining? --- just one inside!

Raina Fan from Canada: Now as per the new rule, an extra fielder need to be inside for slow over rate. What if the batting team deliberately consume a lot of time in the middle? --- from your question, you are probably referring to medical attention and injury-related breaks, they are all taken into account and won't go into the fielding team's time.

Thiyagarajan: Asia Cup has produced many nail-biting matches this time. Kudos to the Pitch curator and the groundsmen. I can't stop watching a tournament like this - lots of see-saw battles, banter on and off the field, and many more.

Thiyagarajan: Pakistan team is sending pinchhitters (nothing to lose) players when they are struggling to hit boundaries. Good thinking and also excellent execution by the players. Nawaz in the last game and Shadab in this game.

Priyanshu Poddar: How often have we seen this here in the UAE in the recent past. Even after losing early wickets & being under pressure for a major part, the chasing team somehow manages to cross the line. Happens so often that probably the team winning the toss already feels significantly ahead in the game.

Balu Prudhvi: The last boundary was at 4.6. Some serious bowling here by Afghanistan.

Sanyam: Deja vu for Indian fans again glued to their screens rooting for an Afghan win to stay alive in the tournament. Remember T20I World cup 2021.

Yusuf: The sheer speed of Pak pacers is quite impressive. Put in Shaheen and Dahani besides these three and they have a very quick attack in white-ball cricket. They're going to have a lot of hit-or-miss dismissals, as batsmen are going to have a hard time hitting them due to their speed.

Shubham Gheeya: Afghanistan losing the toss and batting first may prove blessing in the disguise as they look more confident and comfortable while defending the totals rather than chasing. Indian fans are banking on them. Go well Afghan!

AC: Having 3 pacers bowling 145 kmph+ consistently is a gift!

Shuja Mushtaq: What will be the strategy of Pakistan today will be worth to watch. I think they should go with the spin from one end because the pitch report says the ball will hardly come perfectly on the bat until five or six overs and those overs will be enough to damage the Afghanistan batting line up.
