Afghanistan [286/2] cruise to a famous 8-wicket win over Pakistan [282/7] at ICC World Cup 2023

[Major]

why have slip when there is no movement.

 

[angrypathan]

Afghanistan are Shaheen’s bogey team

 

[Rana]

Imam looks chubby to me

Eating too much protein cake

 

[shah_1]

Hasan should fake an injury and be replaced by Zaman Khan

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

so where are people saying 200 was enough?

It is enough if you can bowl with the new ball.

 

[Major]

Eating too much protein cake

did u watch his press conference? what he said, i didnt watch it because its so cringe the way he speaks and makes statement.

 

[160KPH]

I wonder how early they should bring on spin here, I imagine they’ll have Usama and Shadab bowling in tandem for a while. Hopefully no long hops from Shadab today.

 

[castortroy]

Hasan Ali

Hasan should fake an injury and be replaced by Zaman Khan

Zaman Khan is another trash bowler that would get destroyed

 

[Major]

Hasan should fake an injury and be replaced by Zaman Khan

zaman is also no good.

 

[mominsaigol]

I kept telling you all especially @160KPH , pur bowling is toothless. 275/280 wouldn't have been enough. Hope usama mir cones good ig.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Terrible fielding

This guys is an icon save him for classics. like dropped catches, missed stumpings etc.

 

[castortroy]

How have India now got 2 or 3 seamers that are all better than pak bowlers

 

[Rana]

did u watch his press conference? what he said, i didnt watch it because its so cringe the way he speaks and makes statement.

I watched it and tore it to shreds here

Pakistani cricketers are extremely dumb when they speak on a general basis

 

[Blackbradman]

so where are people saying 200 was enough?

Afghanistan can not score more than 180. Pakistan can improve their NRR.

 

[Major]

what he said?

 

[7sins]

Yeah another limited t20 bowler. Ihsanuallah is the way to go also abbas afridi

 

[mominsaigol]

Their 2nd string bowlers are superior to our frontline minus naseem lol

 

[Omer2002]

We don't have any back up that is the issue...unlike mohammed shami coming off the bench and getting a 5ifer

 

[shah_1]

zaman is also no good.

He is a better defensive bowler than him. Hasan Ali doesn't give you anything

 

[160KPH]

I kept telling you all especially @160KPH , pur bowling is toothless. 275/280 wouldn't have been enough. Hope usama mir cones good ig.

Same thing happened to Pakistan. They cruised through the power play then as soon as the ball softened even a bit it started behaving weirdly in the middle overs.

 

[Major]

Why is there a slip with no movement on pitch?

 

[emranabbas]

so where are people saying 200 was enough?

Do you remember who said it

 

[160KPH]

Guys.. the match just started too early to curse the team

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pakistan need to get Gurbaz and Ibrahim, otherwise game will slip away from their hands. I have very little hope from spin department.

 

[castortroy]

Hasan also bowling at a gentle pace. Seriously, this guy wouldn't look out of place in the Afghanistan attack

 

[Kianig89]

Berserk start by AFG

 

[deltexas]

Hasan should fake an injury and be replaced by Zaman Khan

As far as I know this is an accepted loophole all teams are aware of

 

[Kianig89]

Where are the spin Lords

 

[mominsaigol]

Same thing happened to Pakistan. They cruised through the power play then as soon as the ball softened even a bit it started behaving weirdly in the middle overs.

The difference is, Pakistan has toothless spin. Usama is good but beyond predictable in line and length. They had 40 overs of spin.

We have like what? 20? Max 30? If chacha bowls all 10?

 

[160KPH]

Do you remember who said it

I said it and I stand by it. Would be surprised to see Afghanistan even get to 220 here

 

[emranabbas]

Why is there a slip with no movement on pitch?

But then there's no slip when there is movement

 

[Kianig89]

Rauf customary phainta loading

 

[Major]

But then there's no slip when there is movement

yeh with our luck, that can happen

 

[160KPH]

Rauf customary phainta loading

Now that I do fear not a good pitch for him unless he bowlers really smart

 

[castortroy]

When was the last time this attack defended a score like this v a good team?

 

[emranabbas]

yeh with our luck, that can happen

It's already happened in Asia cup

 

[TheSultan]

Bowling good lengths

 

[Aviator]

What happened? Did the pitch suddenly turned into batting friendly? No matter how much we defend pak batters.. The fact is, they are simply not good enough.

 

[emranabbas]

Now that I do fear not a good pitch for him unless he bowlers really smart

He's coming on next knowing babar

 

[Major]

What happened? Did the pitch suddenly turned into batting friendly? No matter how much we defend pak batters.. The fact is, they are simply not good enough.

nope. there was never anyting for pacers. Its a spin wicket but batting friendly when pace bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Mammon getting his script ready if we bottle it

 

[WengerOut]

Just need to remove the hack Gurbaz. Afg wont cross 180.. There are 65 SR batsmen waiting

 

[Kianig89]

Ifti should bowl

 

[Shafi]

if Afg openers survives 10 overs, they will win this Babar XI.

 

[160KPH]

144.6 kph from Shaheen? Averaging 140 kph, good signs that it’s going up every match

 

[Ali T]

What happened? Did the pitch suddenly turned into batting friendly? No matter how much we defend pak batters.. The fact is, they are simply not good enough.

Seems like it's a spinning wicket

 

[Kianig89]

AFG are taking it personally I think

 

[shah_1]

Decent pace from Shaheen

I was afraid his pace against SL was permanent

 

[imshally81]

Better over Afridi

 

[Savak]

Good on Shaheen. He has pulled back his length Bhumra style after realizing there is nothing in the pitch

 

[ExpressPacer]

Alhamdulilah pace is back for Shaheen.

 

[viking2559]

Shaheen's pace is up today. Averaging 139.5 ks today which is good to see.

In this world he was averaging just 134ks in powerplay.

 

[Ali T]

144.6 kph from Shaheen? Averaging 140 kph, good signs that it’s going up every match

It's a good pick up but worrying is that he's not finding any swing

 

[m.shah]

Good pace from Afridi

 

[Shafi]

nope. there was never anyting for pacers. Its a spin wicket but batting friendly when pace bowling

AS if Shadab, Usama, Ifti are world beater. Infact they are worse

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan needs wicket simple as that

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Afridi bit quicker today!

 

[Blackbradman]

Another misfield

 

[Aviator]

Haris rauf for fifer, anyone?

 

[Kianig89]

I hope Usama trajectory is adjusted

 

[TheSultan]

Ibrahim hogging the strike

 

[viking2559]

Hasan is really awful. No pace no movement. He has nothing.

 

[Shafi]

Mammon getting his script ready if we bottle it

We deserve this humiliation!!!

 

[The_KING]

*** is this fielding?

 

[Ahmed216]

Few of us felt Shaheen will never bowl guick again

 

[Shafi]

Our desi fielding coach is doing really good job.

 

[160KPH]

It's a good pick up but worrying is that he's not finding any swing

Yeah haven’t seen much swing at all since a few of the balls in the first over

 

[Major]

given out but zadran reviewed it immediately. He says he did not touch it

 

[Marooned]

Pathetic fielding is a big reason for our miseries

 

[Ahmed216]

Yes that has taken part of the glove

 

[imshally81]

Not out

 

[NeVerMind]

given out but zadran reviewed it immediately. He says he did not touch it

And he didn't...

 

[Kianig89]

Good Hassan Ali Street level arrogance req to tame the AFG

 

[Major]

good decision, wonder what the sound was though

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Looked out, but DRS saved him.

 

[m.shah]

Wow that looked out

 

[Rana]

These umpires have it in for Afghanistan

 

[Ahmed216]

Yes that has taken part of the glove

Ok ultra edge shows nothing

 

[160KPH]

Interesting.. commentator and umpire thought there was some noise, I wonder what they heard. Better over by Hasan Ali as well! I like that targeted bouncer first ball.

 

[Major]

it never looked out, there was nothing on snicko to conclude it as out
