00:00Hello and welcome to our latest edition of the special coverage on cricket match between India

00:10and Pakistan from the World Cricket World Cup. India is racing away towards a huge total and

00:16it looks like it will be something formidable for Pakistan to chase. As we see, India is 272 runs

00:25now almost at the close of the 43rd over. What does the score look like from here? What do you

00:31think India will score like? I think now death overs are going to start. Aamir and Wahab will

00:40be bowling. So it will be tough to score but it should be close to 300, 320 ideally. But I must

00:48say this morning Imran tweeted that Sarfaraz should bat first. I think Imran should have

01:08called Sarfaraz over the phone instead of just tweeting. So you should have listened to him.

01:13So do you think Sarfaraz should have listened to Pakistan's only World Cup winning captain?

01:19Yes of course he is one of the greatest cricketer and he was the only one who won

01:24World Cup for Pakistan. So he gave plenty of advice this morning but that's what I repeat

01:30that instead of tweeting he should have called up Sarfaraz to say these things.

01:34Right. Shyam do you agree with that total?

01:36No I don't agree. I still think it is a 350 because finally you should look at how IPL is

01:46done. These guys are in familiar situations. They can really turn it up. If you look at the last

01:51overs Pandya is really hitting the ball now. If he can keep up the momentum and if Pandya stays

01:56then the 350 is definitely within the target. Yes he has just hit a 4 again. In fact Kohli

02:02just got his half century. He is on 54 right now. And Kohli also although he is not taking

02:08too many risks but Kohli is really stepping on the gas. Right. So what do you think 350 is still

02:15a good score? Yes extremely good score in a World Cup match especially in such a clash like India

02:23and Pakistan it's always high pressure. So it's an extremely good score and I would go with Shyam

02:29350 is attainable because 7 overs you are looking at 10 runs and over. 10 runs and over

02:33is in the T20 era it's par for the course. So it's in the last 7 overs. And again coming back

02:40to what Ashfaq said Imran Khan is not just a World Cup winning captain. He took the team to victory

02:46from almost from nowhere. Like they were virtually down and out in 1992. So I think Sarfaraz should

02:53have actually listened to Imran Khan what he said. It makes a lot of sense because sometimes you know

02:58like you are overawed by the conditions that's not in your control but you make these silly

03:03errors or judgmental errors but in the end nothing happens. It's a pretty good batting track. Fine

03:10but what do you think was going on on Sarfaraz's mind when he chose to bowl first? Obviously like

03:17this Pakistan attack is probably the best in the World Cup. So he must be trusting his bowlers to

03:23give the early breakthrough and know like maybe put the Indians on the back foot. But that was

03:30not to be. Rohit Sharma and Rahul played a very sensible game seeing of early overs. So can we

03:39safely say that the game has gone India's way? India is going to win this? I don't think so

03:43because it's still on. Match is on. It's a first rings. You can't give this judgment. We will see

03:48if Pakistan still has to bat. Okay yeah another 50 overs but do you so you think you're confident

03:54that Pakistan can get the score? Game is on. Maybe today is the day when they break the record. Okay

04:04Shyam do you think a game is on? The game is on but I beg to slightly differ. I know we are all

04:10panning Sarfaraz for taking the decision to field first. But look at if India had lost two early

04:19wickets we will all be praising Sarfaraz right? I'm sure he was taken in by the conditions,

04:24the overcast conditions, the rains. So probably that not just Sarfaraz, he's got a team management

04:30behind it. So they must have decided that if they got a couple of wickets early the match

04:36would have been different. But what happened was like we said earlier when we started the

04:40first hour was very important. Mohammad Amir's first bell was important. Rahul and Rohit got

04:47through that without much alarms and which is why we got where we are now. Yeah I agree Shyam but

04:56the fact remains that the conditions alone can't determine it. So no like you need to also take

05:01into consideration what your opponents are. So in that nutshell losing the toss was a blessing

05:09that's what I would prefer. Think that way. So all in all I think we are set for a good last

05:15five hours of slog and we are looking at a huge total obviously. But do you think that you know

05:25Imran basically you know should have should have played this match instead of Sarfaraz?

05:31Imran is there, the game would have been different. Then we should call Waseem Akram as

05:38well and Inzamam Ul Haq as well. Why did you forget Waqar Yunus? So that was a winning

05:46combination. And Waqar as well. So that's a winning combination but most of them are there

05:53watching the match right now. Waqar is there, Waseem is there, Inzamam is there. But there

05:59should be, so now we just now got the news, the Pandya is out as I said the last overs in Amir

06:06and Bahawal are going to choke. So let's see whether they will be able to reach 350. I don't

06:13think so they will make 350. The only good news is that the MS Dhoni the finisher is out there.

06:17So let's see what he does. Meanwhile keep following our live coverage on gulfnews.com
