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

[Devadwal]

Lol free hot wasted

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Supposed to be a great bowling attack!!

 

[kingusama92]

This is just terrible bowling and fielding from PAK

 

[castortroy]

After his disgraceful performance v Australia, how is Usama Mir playing today.

His bowling is as bad as Shadab

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak look mentally shot. Choking here. There are still lots of runs to be scored by Afg, but they seem to have resigned already.

 

[The_KING]

Pathetic Mir bowls a no ball. How the hell does a spinner bowl a no ball? I swear I am getting angry.

 

[ArabKnight]

Where's the clowns that said Pakistan would easily win against Afghanistan?

 

[globetrotter]

Pak fielders pushing ball over boundaries…. Really pathetic fielding

 

[Nado_]

Usama Mir , I was calling for him to be selected but it looks like I was fooled, this guy is a disgrace

 

[CerebralPatriot]

This Mir is proper quota selection by Punjab Cricket Board.

It is not "Punjab cricket board" it is "the anti karachi board"

 

[Sunzi]

This is an absolute storm of faeces.

Good Afghani batting.

Waqar with the cake jibe aswell. Bad times.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Usama always looks nervous.

Then he should have excused himself from playing at highest platform.

 

[castortroy]

Here comes more long hops and full tosses

 

[zaidihusain]

After Pakistan's batting Babar, Abdullah, Ift

 

[7sins]

Mir out of sorts and shockingly nervous bowler. As a leg spinner if you're not brave enough than you better pack your bags or change your career

 

[oatmeal]

Afghanistan generally cave under pressure. But bowlers need to bring the pressure instead of letting them score freely

 

[ArabKnight]

This Mir is proper quota selection by Punjab Cricket Board.

That's why I wanted Abrar Ahmed to be played.

 

[pratiktc]

That was the worst free hit ball I've ever seen. Lucky he got away

 

[imshally81]

Shadab on

 

[Devadwal]

Shadab to take 5 wickets

 

[7sins]

Last 5 over 7.6 rr and babar changed nothing he could have brought Shaheen for an over or ifti but no change in his script

 

[Omer2002]

absolutely daft captaincy...should have started with ifti he couldnt have been worse than these amateurs. Its too late now.

 

[pratiktc]

This is the game Pak needs the old Shadab back

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has to try finger spinners too

 

[TheSultan]

What a drag down

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha Pakistan fielding

 

[castortroy]

That last delivery sums up Pakistan in a nutshell

Nothing else to say

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

seriously what is going on.

 

[MMHS]

Bring Ifti - I know two right handers are bowling, but that guy at least can force batsmen to earn their boundary…

 

[batandballbattle]

shady for once please do not serve up fresh hot pies

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol Fielding

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What was that by Shaheen?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Classis Pakistan fielding

 

[imshally81]

Joking

 

[oatmeal]

How are these guys batting like world beaters

 

[TheNeutralist]

Usama bowls too many full tosses

 

[Varun]

Typical Pakistan fielding. When the ball is going for 4 just roll over it for fun.

 

[Nado_]

I’ve turned the match off after that. Bunch of losers

 

[shortbread]

The boundary fielding is simply comical! It's like they run and reach the ball, then get lost in thought!

 

[kingusama92]

Oh my

That's disgraceful fielding and bowling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two rank half trackers.

 

[hafizexpress]

This atrocious fielding almost makes it look like this is fixed. It can't be THIS bad

 

[gani999]

It is not "Punjab cricket board" it is "the anti karachi board"

I remember that even Javed Miandad would complain about this discrimination against Karachi players by the Lahoris in his prime. It's not new, is it?

 

[castortroy]

Who ever decided to play 2 leg spinners today, both of absolutely dross quality, need to be battered

 

[syd_pak]

This is a joke. What a pathetic show

 

[ex-q-zit]

Ifti should have been introduced ahead of Rauf, Usama and shadab. As a finger spinner he could have extracted more turn especially before the dew settles in.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

this team deserves to get knocked out. They are just not good enough. Our bowling is the worst including the spinners. This new guy mir is even more useless than Shadab.

 

[nish_mate]

SSA kee karda paaya

Sohre ne kut dena tenu

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rauf is officially almost 30 …. I’ll take a fair bit of buffer on that, but let’s stick to 30. By next WC, he’ll be 33+ … officially.

Absolutely no way, he should play a single ODI after this WC,

……. And to think that my boss, wants him to lead PAK pace attack in Australian Tests!!!

He's a T20 bowler. Not sure why he's so highly rated by some. He simply has no control to bowl in longer formats. Because of T20 skills , hrs good at the death but his new ball skills are awful

 

[hamzie]

we are such a bad team

 

[7sins]

This pakistani team is full of chokers and midget mentality they don't have guts or swag

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Here comes another PSL superstar.

Who picked this WC squad? Was it Inzi?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wish Pakistan openers could bat like this

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only relief for Pakistan is there won't be much dew at Chennai

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Comical, please get out of India with security excuse.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Comedy fielding

 

[oatmeal]

Mir needs to take a wicket to redeem himself. hopeless

 

[Varun]

These were the sort of banana peal games that a minnow basher like Afridi used to keep his place in the team.

Nobody like that in their current lineup though.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Ifti should have been introduced ahead of Rauf, Usama and shadab. As a finger spinner he could have extracted more turn especially before the dew settles in.

He is economical ......

 

[Savak]

This WC is reminiscent of the 2003 ODI WC, when too many key players lose form and confidence at the worst possible time.

 

[shah_1]

Dil DIl Afghanistan

I don't want to see this pathetic team to win any match from now on. Babar deserves shoes treatment from the fans. He doesn't even deserve a resignation, just sack him.

 

[ArabKnight]

Wish Pakistan openers could bat like this

That's why you need Sharjeel Khan and Azam Khan.

 

[aukhan]

Babar as good as Yousuf...
What a disgraceful campaign this has been.

 

[MMHS]

I have seen many bad days of PAK cricket, and I have seen lot, lot…. but never seen such a shameful display like what I have seen in this 15 overs.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

It is a wickets game..... we need wickets now.

 

[Nado_]

Everyone just turn this off. The only potential positive from this World Cup is that it may start some changes but this is Pakistan after all.

 

[Kroll]

No point in being angry anymore, might as well laugh.

 

[The_KING]

We deserve to finish bottom of the group. Pathetic batting, pathetic bowling and pathetic captain.

 

[7sins]

Afghanistan will be utter garbage if they lose it from here

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pakistan are still in the game.
Afghanistan are serial bottlers.
1 wicket will bring another 3.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

He's a T20 bowler. Not sure why he's so highly rated by some. He simply has no control to bowl in longer formats. Because of T20 skills , hrs good at the death but his new ball skills are awful

Rauf is just a T20 bowler. We have a habit of throwing T20 players in tests and ODIs. He was useless in tests as well.

 

[Syed1]

It is a wickets game..... we need wickets now.

wow thanks for that amazing insight. Who would have thought we needed wicket.

 

[zaidihusain]

After Pakistan's batting Babar, Abdullah, Iftikhar must be thinking they have played great innings for the team and they have done their part. This pitch is super easy for batting, I think Pakistan should have scored atleast 330

 

[globetrotter]

Afridi hahaha…. Bowl spinning on boundaries and not on wicket

 

[castortroy]

It is a wickets game..... we need wickets now.

Game is gone man. Look at the scoreboard

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Crowd is against us mean Indians that's why we forgot how to bowl bat and field today

 

[7sins]

We deserve to finish bottom of the group. Pathetic batting, pathetic bowling and pathetic captain.

Unfortunately there are trams worse than us:/

 

[Mamoon]

@Mamoon

I believe you were telling me that the 2023 team is stronger then the 2019 team? And mocked me by saying 2019 mubarak.

Care to explain where your analysis went wrong?

It is stronger.

but it doesn’t matter because other teams are better.

But 2023 team will beat the 2019 team in a series. I don’t know why you are bigging up a team that 24 out of 30 ODIs in 2018-19.

Again, not bigging up the current team. It is terrible, but better than the 2019 one.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

this partnership is way too much already.

 

[Syed1]

Jaisay mulk waisi team
