Pakistan will lose to Bangladesh today and lose to Sri Lanka on the 4th and will be eliminated from the Asia cup.
The silver lining of this humiliation will be that Shahid Afridi will be dropped from the Pakistan team for good.

@Hashim agree with your assessment but still wish it not come true except Afridi's exit. Not only that he is an expired commodity he also force selection committee to select players like Khurram Mamzoor in the playing eleven. If you don't select Shahzad then give me Khurram Manzoor, this is how the team is selected. He is protecting Umer Akmal when later causes indiscipline
by violating the rules.

Half battle is won as Pakistan has selected to bat first. Pakistan needs to play sensible and score at least 140+ to give a best shot for win on this barren pitch. Pak has quality bowlers to put Bangla under pressure from first ball.

Hard Core realty world must know that when a Team(Pakistan Team), is barred from playing international cricket teams at their home grounds for 7 years straight then the million dollar question is "how can Pakistan Cricket Team have the heart to play overseas without playing poor?"
The more Pakistan Team plays overseas the more they torture their self and psychologically damage their sportsmen ship skills.
Is there any other International cricket team in the World Barred from hosting international teams on their home grounds? I don't think so....

Captain, Coach, manager and even the public is to be blamed for this mess. Selfie Shehzad who is the only reasonable Pak opener was not selected because everyone cried that he is not good enough. He is better than the current lot. Hafeez, Khurram Manzoor need to be rested. Babar Azam and Imad Wasim are both in the squad and can easily replace both Hafeez and Manzoor but not sure what the Pakistani think tank is doing. Waqar Younis is absolutely pathetic and needs to be replaced by someone who is a proper coach. PCB couldn't even get Viv. Richards as a batting consultant.

One Player will never win matches, smart players and Smart teams will eventually learn to negotiate his quota of overs and target other bowlers to score the runs,

Truly speaking, Pakistan team lost the match in second last over.

People blame batsmen for not getting runs, the bowlers should be held accountable as well, for bowling no balls in the crunch situations.

Afridi is just too immature and it is so evident on the field..His constant chats,huddles and his after match chat with Rameez was laughable at the best.He can't even find words and just blabbers on senselessly !Even Rameez finished the chat in haste realizing that !!.He is the most over rated cricketer in the world !!
There's no solidarity in the team and too much dominance by the senior players which is the team culture !
Teams need to be performance based and not based on seniority or likes !

This result is expected for coming series also if Shahid Afridi lead the team. This is simply wake up call for the selectors. Stop humiliation of fans and take the necessary and firm action. I'm Indian and big fan of Pakistan bowling unit but today whole world is watching the real talent of pace attack is direction less.

It's perfect time for NS to overhaul PCB. Select a new chairman, board, coach captain and get rid of old failures. This game also exposed pakistan balling. Except Amir (although he didn't bowl well today), everyone took a beating. Selection on the basis of PSL was bad.

Pakistan was very much back in game but lost because of the wrong strategy of Captain. Mistakes:
1. should have taken fielding when won toss.
2. Instead of giving last three overs starting from Mohamed Amir, he should have given two to Shoaib Malik and Amir or even to Sami should have been advised not to go after wickets and save runs.
malik had the lowest average of all ballers.
I think Afridi should leave the captainship and if at all he wants to play he should play in county or go in his business or advertising.

@Fiz Sami never bowled brilliantly in PSL. He only got wickets on half volleys in PSL because our local batting talent is pathetic. He never bowled yorkers in PSL and wasn't put under pressure there. He used to bowl wides and no bowls in 2003 and he has continued the same tonight. No work done on him by Waqar or our any of our bowling coaches.

First these pakistanis gave bangladesh on a platter and now losing in cricket too. Afridi's body language was defeated throughout the match. I suggest PAKISTANI nation stopped following cricket for some time and let these cricketers bite the dust and come back to previous glory.

Waqar Younis has mismanaged this team to great levels. Because of his personal ego he hasn't opened with Sarfraz and continued the trend up until tonight. Sarfraz still came before the fifth over and scored well. Hafeez is a huge burden. Afridi lacks decency and common sense. Apart from Sarfraz, Amir, Anwar, Imad and the latest youngsters, all the players should be thrown out of the team immediately.

Pakistan didn’t play well today. Though the team made a decent recovery after losing some quick wickets in the beginning, they were still at least 15-20 runs short of a strong total. The Bangladesh team deserves credit for playing well. They bowled and fielded extremely well, and that was the difference in the end.

Let burst the self proclamation of so called "best bowing attack" of Pakistan.
After completion of 3 Matches for each of the teams the total number of wickets taken by the respective team is as follows:
India 26
Bangladesh 25
Sri Lanka 21
UAE 19
Pakistan 16
It simply shows Pakistan as the worst bowling attack even below the minnows UAE,
it just that their bating is so far down that comparatively bowling looks world class (only to them)..

The Asia cup should be renamed Bangla Cup. Why is it always held in Bangladesh? It is funny how Bangladesh has been changing the pitch on a single ground to suit their prospects- a green top for the India vs BD game (this backfired though), a greener one the Pak vs India game and then a flat track today when they were afraid of Amir. I wonder what pitch they will prepare for the final! Pakistan has been unlucky- they are coming back from a hectic month of PSL- the new team never got a chance to play together, but got directly thrown against a strong Indian team. As an Indian fan, I will miss playing Pakistan in the final - it would have been a better game against Pak. Against BD, the pitch, the crowd, the umpires will be more significant than the "skills" of the BD players.
