Partnership to chase a score

[Bilal7]

If you could choose any two Pakistani batsmen, currently involved with the national ODI team, to chase a score of 120 in 100 deliveries, who would they be?

My picks would be:

Misbah- reliable and is more than likely to stay till the end. He might make the RR climb up but tends to make up for it in successful chases.

Afridi- rotates the strike well and can smash when needed.

[Gotham Cronie]

Umar Akmal + Misbah ul Haq

[fareedymohammad]

Abdul Razaq/ Hammad Azzam + Umar Akmal

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali

[Usman]

Bilal, you would seriously pick Afridi? I'm a massive Afridi fan but I would not rely on him to chase a tortoise never mind 120 runs!

[amlafan79]

most teams would chase 120 of 100 balls easily
for pak well do we have to choose on form? then ts pretty impossible but on names younis and akmal

[Lalafied]

lol 120 in 100 balls.. Misbah would screw the chase up.

[LastLaugh_PK]

With Misbah batting the target would become 100 of 50 balls. Afridi/Chota Akmal would have brain farts as soon as a run rate goes above 9 and get out playing the stupidest shots ever.

Malik and Azam

[akamaka]

U Akmal and Hammad would do it in my opinion.

[Ismailtoca]

YK + UAkmal

Azam + Uakmal/YK

[Pak_Jazba]

Azhar & Hammad

[Ironcat]

Misbah + U Akmal

RRR of almost 7.5? U Akmal and anyone else (ideally U Akmal and Razzaq but he's not in the team).

[Shahid20Ten]

If Umar stay at crease for some 20 years no can beat Pakistan.

[waqar goraya]

actually no one can against top bowling.....but yes aganist srilanka umar and misbah are favourites for me

[Garuda]

As an opposition fan I will always be on my toes if YK is on crease. I think he is the only Pakistani player in current side whom I can trust on chasing big score. Second would me Misbah but Misbah depends on his partner to keep the RR steady initially.

Apart from YK no one gives that trust to me. He has the mindset, the class and the gear/shot to hit boundaries in between.

Misbah depends on few blows at the end which is always a chance.

malik + akmal

Misbah & Umar Akmal, bat very well together however I haven't seen them chase a big target. When chasing 270+ Umar must bat at 4.

Well Afridi in my opinion has calmed down and when batting with Misbah, it's pretty hard to do something stupid.


You guys should not pick players that have not shown any ability to chase a big score at international level.

[Sandeep99]

I think Shoib Malik would suit the situation...Misbah/Younis Khan will be his ideal partner... Cool as cucumber in dire circumstances...these three are the players Pak should look when in need... I trust nobody else in Pak would chase 120 off 100 without a rollercoaster ride!

[Amjid Javed]

Personally i wouldnt really back any of current pakistan batsmen to chase down 120 off 100 balls.

Fawad Alam / Shahid Afridi / Abdul Razzaq
