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

[jattafridi]

Holiday in Afghanistan

Rolls Royce for every Afghanistani player

From sheikh mukesh ambani

 

[adzzy786]

if RR was 5.24 yeah.. right now it looks like a thriller

6 isn’t a thriller. Needs be like 8

 

[JattMaula]

What a shot!


What a ducking shot!

By gawd!

 

[emranabbas]

Now you need shaheen and Harris

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ball reversing but hassan gets hit for 6. Not his fault, that was a good shot

Little bit fuller tbh

 

[Asif321]

It’s coming Kabul

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

72 off 72.
Afghanistan clear fav

 

[Sunzi]

Ah man.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

72 off 72 and 8 wickets in hand......... we need a stellar performance to pull off a win.

 

[Major]

Dont give it to rauf right now....

Give it to ifti, or else you will get stuck in the final overs. Babar making a stupid move

 

[lazy cricketer]

just go all in shaheen and haris now

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

We have had our share of brainless defensive captains like Misbah, Azhar, Yousuf. But Captain Dosti Yaari takes the cake.

I think it has to be worst era among all the clueless captains Pak ever had.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This Sixer proves that Afghanistan are very serious about beating Paksitan this time..
They have done their homework very well..

 

[7sins]

Bring in Shaheen and Rauf and bowl 1 2 spinners in between try to get 1 more wicket

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf the destroyers come to bowl .don't think they can play his pace . wicket is coming in bundle

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Dont give it to rauf right now....

Give it to ifti, or else you will get stuck in the final overs. Babar making a stupid move

rauf

 

[Major]

2 overs of spin have to be bowled either way. WHy not use a spinner when a leftie is there so you can get dot balls instead of bringing in a spinner when hitting will be going on.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need couple of really tight overs here

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 overs left from spinners.
I wonder who will bowl those??
Will Babar reserve it for the end

If the match goes 50 overs without much loss of wicket Afhgans will win. So they might as well bowl out seamers

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak needs Umar Gull kind of spell.

 

[oatmeal]

Rauf needs to find some reverse swing and bowl like the last 10 overs in the Australia game

 

[MMHS]

8 overs of Rauf-SSS gives hope, but they have 3 overs to cover and I hope it won’t be with Shadab

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Eight wickets in hand and basically a run a ball from here, they would have to be choke spectacularly to lose it from here.

Have you seen Afghanistan in games vs Pakistan, or the batters slated to come in? They will almost certainly collapse at some stage.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Why he is bowling short stuff

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Eight wickets in hand and basically a run a ball from here, they would have to be choke spectacularly to lose it from here.

Or we need to bowl absolutely stunnigly well.

 

[Devadwal]

2 dot already

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Dont give it to rauf right now....

Give it to ifti, or else you will get stuck in the final overs. Babar making a stupid move

It might not get Rauf with ifti bowling

 

[Major]

Even if Rauf bowls a 4 run over, its too much of a risk because spinner wil be bowling in depth

 

[JattMaula]

I have seen plenty of Afgan chases. They play needlessly defensive and build pressure on themselves. They have been better today.

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

We have the worst spinners int he torunament

17 overs 102 runs 0 wickets amongst them

Look at Afg spinners in comparison

 

[castortroy]

Players that have to be permanently dropped from the 50 over squad after this horrow show of a world cup

Shadab
Iman
Mir
Hasan Ali
Rauf

 

[lazy cricketer]

ball is reversing and this guy is bowling short what a rubbish cricketer

 

[m.shah]

Nothing for Haris here

 

[castortroy]

We have the worst spinners int he torunament

17 overs 102 runs 0 wickets amongst them

Look at Afg spinners in comparison

We also have the worst pace attack

 

[Sherazkhalid]

One bad over and it's game over, Rauf need to bowl some yorkers

 

[oatmeal]

Dont give it to rauf right now....

Give it to ifti, or else you will get stuck in the final overs. Babar making a stupid move

Its the right move. You apply pressure early not at the very end. Need a wicket right now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Clock speed is high. But Rauf seems to be losing a lot of pace after pitching.

 

[MMHS]

I haven’t seen a single Yorker today, so far!!!!

 

[Devadwal]

Last 49 balls only 32 runs . Afghanistan are so much behind now.

 

[Syed1]

"Loving this humiliation"

Fluke wins against Ned and SL.

 

[Major]

Reverse for Rauf now.

 

[7sins]

We have the worst spinners int he torunament

17 overs 102 runs 0 wickets amongst them

Look at Afg spinners in comparison

Don't look at Afghan spinners compare pakistan spinners to netherland they bowled way better

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

We have the worst spinners int he torunament

17 overs 102 runs 0 wickets amongst them

Look at Afg spinners in comparison

That too on chennai wicket

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

How come Rahmat Shah is only 30??
He looks like a early 40 person

 

[Major]

Babar bhai spinner ko over deydeyy leftiee khel reh haiii :"""""""(

 

[jnaveen1980]

Eight wickets in hand and basically a run a ball from here, they would have to be choke spectacularly to lose it from here.

You need one gun unplayable bowler needed to trigger a collapse.Who is going to be that one unplayable bowler

 

[ex-q-zit]

If Pakistan dont win this I dont think they win any of there other matches except against Bangladesh who are equally bad if not more.

 

[Devadwal]

Afghanistan is playing at 4 run per over from last eight over.
11 over left so max they can score 44 runs

 

[NeVerMind]

Players that have to be permanently dropped from the 50 over squad after this horrow show of a world cup

Shadab
Iman
Mir
Hasan Ali
Rauf

Tbh Hasan Ali hasn't done that badly as the third choice after all the injuries we've had

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ladoo last over coming up.

 

[Buffet]

Need wickets here.

 

[vprasanna83]

Now or never for Shaheen

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar bhai spinner ko over deydeyy leftiee khel reh haiii :"""""""(

wo wicket le skta hai, aisa nai krna hai.

 

[hass]

Rauf the destroyers come to bowl .don't think they can play his pace . wicket is coming in bundle

While laughing his butt off behind the keyboard

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Ladoo last over coming up.

I hope he takes a wicket

 

[lazy cricketer]

why bowl by going wide of the crease you basically take out reverse...go close to the crease and bowl on off stump

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan is offering wisdom of words. Cornered tigers situation. Shaheen is rubbing the ball on one side hard. Looking for one big reverse swinging yorker i suppose

 

[Major]

its not out, dont go for it.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Afghanistan is playing at 4 run per over from last eight over.
11 over left so max they can score 44 runs

Wouldn't they start slogging soon

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen come to bowl now . looking for wicket as always.
DRS time

 

[castortroy]

Afridi with another emotional review

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

not out for sure

 

[NeVerMind]

Bad review as seems.like going down leg

 

[ex-q-zit]

Babar bhai spinner ko over deydeyy leftiee khel reh haiii :"""""""(

Spinner ko diya thaaue usne 2 chauke khaya

 

[vodafone_lover]

This Sixer proves that Afghanistan are very serious about beating Paksitan this time..
They have done their homework very well..

Why not, Ajay Jadeja and Jonathan trott are there

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shahid Afridi once turned the game when SL needed just 35 runs with 7 wickets in hand.

Can Shaheen replicate it ?

 

[emranabbas]

Not out

 

[Syed1]

Where is Naseem Shah when you need him lol. We could have just flown him in for the Afg match. Just his presence on the field would have ensured victory.

 

[imshally81]

Review time

 

[castortroy]

Typical shocking pak review as always

 

[adzzy786]

It’s going down leg , what a Waste

 

[pratiktc]

Game will be done and dusted in next 5 overs. Reverse swing collapse incoming

 

[Major]

LMAOO, impact is outside of leg, thats how bad of a decision that was

 

[Devadwal]

Wouldn't they start slogging soon

They don't have power game .so only results here is wicket if they try

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It is missing leg and probably above

 

[Asif321]

Missing leg by margin

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

is it out?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Worst review ever

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like an awful review

 

[Savak]

Horrible review.
