Nepal will be the biggest losers in case this edition of the Asia Cup gets cancelled. Because they are getting the opportunity to play against test nations after almost a decade. The last time was in 2014 (T20 World Cup), when they played against Afghanistan and Bangladesh (won against Afghanistan and then lost the match against Bangladesh by 8 wickets). This time they have a very young and promising squad, comprising of youngsters such as Sandeep Lamichhane, Rohit Paudel, Lalit Rajbanshi and Kushal Bhurtel. If the Asia Cup goes ahead as per the plan, then they will get one match each against India and Pakistan.

Hopefully while taking any decisions ACC and BCCI look into all these things and do what is good for everyone. Cancelling it is not the solution hybrid model is the good option and India will not come to Pakistan and their matches will be played on neural venue .
This is going to be tough to accommodate like this realistically but let's hope for the best.

As we have history of ACC most chances BCCI will not look into any other board's problem they will go ahead with their own plan which is just they will never go Pakistan for playing cricket in current circumstances and if other boards will agree then surely this event will be held in Sri Lanka without Pakistan now time is running out with 28th May we have last game of IPL then India will go ahead to England for final of the WTC and their other schedule is also already settled so if we have no Asia cup then surely it's better instead of having boycott from any country even this is the biggest disappointment for the Nepal which is currently emerging country in this region specially with native players which is the best part from them.

I heard Najam Sethi saying that PCB will lose 3 million usd in case Asia cup is not hosted by PCB and under given circumstances 3 million USD is quite a money for PCB. BCCI on the other hand is in no mood of coming to Pakistan. A decision will be made about Asia cup on final of IPL where India, SL, Bangladesh and Afghan rep will be present and final decision will be made after consulting PCB. PCB has proposed a hybrid model and it will only be executed if BCCI approves that.

Personally i would love to see India and Pakistan matches as they are really competitive and a great experience for the sports fans but the government will be using this as a leverage for their political gains and with the right wing government India is having, i doubt there will be any leniency into this issue, moving India's matches to a neutral ground is a good option and i wish we will see that happen.

PCB has solid reason to be disappointed. This time, it was their turn to host the Asia Cup. But then, none of the other Asian boards (SLCB, BCB and ACB) has the courage to antagonize the BCCI. Hybrid model is also not the ideal solution. It just creates added complexities related to scheduling and logistics. And given the timeframe, the weather conditions in the middle-east may not be suitable for hosting such an important tournament. In all probability, Sri Lanka is likely to host all, or some of the matches. Just hoping that the tournament will not get cancelled.

Such expectation was expected from the beginning and which was reflected in the 5th match. Pakistan won by a huge margin. Pakistan gave a target of 314 runs, they were all out for only 131 runs. But at this point, I think Pakistan cricket is focused on the Asia Cup and World Cup cricket. They want to make some of their players for the desired tournament. Moreover, the game that is currently being played that was not much important for Pakistan.

LOL.. there is no guarantee that the Asia Cup will take place as planned. On 28th May, there is an informal meeting between the officials from the BCCI, SLCB, BCB and ACB to decide on the future of this year's Asia Cup. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan this September, but the BCCI has threatened to pull out if the matches are being hosted by Pakistan. PCB is still pushing for the hybrid model, there 4 out of the total of 13 matches will take place in Pakistan, and the remaining will be shifted to one of the overseas venues.

Although the Asia Cup was discussed, the political conflict between India and Pakistan is not over yet. India's Cricket Board has confirmed that it will not tour Pakistan. The president of Pakistan Cricket Board said that if India does not come to Pakistan and play the Asia Cup tournament, then Pakistan and India will not play the World Cup. This year's Asia Cup has been thrown into uncertainty due to India's punishment by Pakistan.
Due to India's behavior, Pakistan took steps to conduct the Hybrid Model Asia Cup but Bangladesh Sri Lanka did not agree to it as it would be very difficult for Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to play the matches if the Hybrid Model Asia Cup. Till now everyone is waiting for the final decision. Since Pakistan has ensured maximum security in cricket, I think there should be no doubt about India visiting Pakistan.

At present, I think there is no problem in the cricket of these two countries. Now it is considered as a political problem. However, cricket is the point of contention or an apple of discord. If Pakistan provides full security then India should play . Again when the World Cup will be held in India Pakistan will also go there. India is one of the leading country of cricket there is no country to compare with them. If the two countries don't play, there will be a lack of excitement and pleasure in the game which will make people more negative towards the world cricket. Both the countries should come back from this hard line and should be allowed to proceed at it's own pace.

Amazing. What a great performance from Pakistan. Omair Yousuf performance is admirable he made 89 runs and remain not out. On the balling hand of Pakistan. Shahnawaz Dahani and Qasim Akram got 3 3 wickets. Qasim Akram bowling was really good in this match because he got 3 wickets in 3.4 overs. And now the series is at 3-2. The last match is important for Pakistan. If Pakistan will win so the series will be equal. So let's wait for the last ODI match.

Pakistan should not worry about winning the series. This series is more about preparing for the upcoming tournaments (Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup), and giving opportunities for some of the emerging players. They should not bother about losing a few matches, as the Zimbabwe team is a full strength regular squad. I am still concerned about the lack of a quality spinner in the Pakistani squad. Apart from a few allrounders, they don't have a genuine spinner who can really trouble the opposition batsmen. In this series also, most of their top performers were pacers.

Watching the fifth ODI between these two teams it feels like the old Pakistan suddenly came back. Pakistan performed really well in this match. They have scored a really good amount of runs and they have also been able to bowl really well. Of course, they should not be having any tension because of this series. After all, this is just a preparation for the world cup. They are trying out new things and it is good to see that they finally have got a very convincing result in favor of themselves. Spin bowling is going to be an issue for Pakistani in the world cup I believe because in the middle overs, it is really important.

After losing three of the first four matches, it looked like Pakistan might lose the next two matches but in the fifth ODI, Pakistan turned around strongly.

In the fifth ODI match, as Pakistan came back in a great way in batting, they also showed great skill in bowling. However, Pakistan is one win behind Zimbabwe so far.

The last match is very important for Pakistan because if Pakistan lose the last match then they will lose the series 4-2. So Pakistan must win this match to level the series.

The way Pakistan players performed with confidence in the fifth ODI, we hope to see the same performance from them in the sixth ODI.

Excellent performance from the young Pakistan side, as they won the match by 177 runs. Zimbabwe could only manage a total of 137. Remember that this is the regular Zimbabwe side, with all their star players. None of the Pakistani players scored a century today, but Imran Butt, Haseebullah Khan and Omair Yousuf scored half-centuries. And then Aamer Jamal and Qasim Akram did dome fireworks towards the end. Among the Zimbabwe bowlers, apart from Brandon Mavuta and Richard Ngarava everyone else went for plenty of runs.

Pakistan Shaheens with its young squad have played an awesome innings. The team had got a solid start with Imran Butt scoring 64 runs, Haseebullah scoring 62 runs, and Omair 89* runs not out, Missed his century. The team was able to score 314/6 which is really good to defend the Zimbabwe team. For now it is a confirmed winning for Pakistan Shaheens as Zimbabwe have lost 6 wickets scoring 98 runs by the end of 23 overs. Young players getting opportunity to play is really good and Pakistan is making arrangements to keep the next set of players in a prepared manner for the upcoming tournaments.

Pakistan A team got a great win in fifth ODI match against Zimbabwe A team. Batting first, Pakistan was able to score 314 runs where the performance of the three batsmen in the first row was extraordinary. The three first-row batsmen collected 215 runs together. When Zimbabwe set a target of 315 runs, they were bowled out for just 137 runs.

The Pakistan A team has already attracted a lot of criticism after losing three matches against Zimbabwe A. Everyone was talking about this team Pakistan then what will happen to Pakistan in the future. Zimbabwe's entire team has played professional level cricket but those who have played for Pakistan are all newcomers. Despite having a completely new squad, they won two matches against Zimbabwe. And hopefully Pakistan will win the sixth match too and level the series.

As you guys are following this series can anyone here tell me the reason why the Pakistan team is struggling? I am surprised to hear that they have won just a single match whereas Zimbabwe won 3 matches. Pakistan's national team is far better than the A team. Considering the upcoming talents are part of the A team. I feel PCB needs to work on its talent pool and need to take proper action on those players who are underperformers.

Most of the players who play for the Pakistan "A" team are inexperienced but most of the players in the Zimbabwean team have played in the national team, so the players in the Zimbabwean A team are relatively experienced compared to the players in the Pakistan "A" team. But we never expected such a bad performance from Pakistan team. Out of the six match ODI series, four matches have been played so far in which Zimbabwe won three matches and Pakistan won the remaining one match by dls method. Pakistan will have to win the next two matches to level the series. I don't think a team that has lost three matches can win both out of two matches.

There are a handful of few experience players in the Zimbabwe team. I do not think it can make such a big difference. I saw few highlights and felt this Pakistani team is not capable enough. I mean how can they be bad with both bowling and batting. Watching them made me feel that a lot of work needs to be done with these boys. Some of them are okay but not that good. If they don't win the next match then they will be in trouble.

Zimbabwe S vs Pakistan S
Today is the 5th ODI match between these two teams. They have played 4 matches and in this series Zimbabwe team performance was really good and they won 3 matches and Pakistan won only one match. And still Zimbabwe team is looking more strong. And I hope again Zimbabwe team will give surprise. By the Way let's see.

In the last unofficial ODI, Pakistan Shaheens are batting well. After completion of 18 overs Pak Shaheend are 104 and still both openers are on the crease. Imran Butt is not out on 47 and Haseebullah Khan is on 50. If Pak Shaheens must try to score as many runs as possible because Zim team is in good touch and they have the capability to chase big target.
