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

[Rana]

What was that effort and then smile by Hassan?

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

153.6 Kph. This should be the fastest one so far in the tournament

 

[jnaveen1980]

Haris Rauf has been absolutely mediocre from what i have seen so far unless he creates a bit of magic by taking the pitch out of the equation

 

[mominsaigol]

@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?

 

[ArabKnight]

Keep selecting people on Punjab quota and this is the result

Those that indulge in corruption and injustice will never taste victory.

 

[batandballbattle]

lol hassan just fell over
vintage pakistani fielding

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We are 100 short lol

 

[hitthestump]

Can’t take wickets, can’t keep runs down.

This WC is over.

It’s just about not utterly humiliating ourselves now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Haris Rauf has been absolutely mediocre from what i have seen so far unless he creates a bit of magic by taking the pitch out of the equation

U mean he'll start bowling full tosses

 

[Devadwal]

Mir to take four wickets today

 

[imshally81]

Finally some spin

 

[Ali Active]

people are overreacting 1 wicket afghanistan is out

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You can tell they know they are gonna lose

 

[jnaveen1980]

there will be reverse on offer. Pakistan has to bring him after 25th or 30th over.

 

[Suleiman]

Please collapse… please.

 

[Rana]

Can’t take wickets, can’t keep runs down.

This WC is over.

It’s just about not utterly humiliating ourselves now.

But but but

Category A needs these players.

 

[imshally81]

Dropped again?

 

[castortroy]

This Mir is bang average.

 

[jnaveen1980]

people are overreacting 1 wicket afghanistan is out

True they don't know how to sieze the advantage

 

[Syed1]

9 wicket humiliation coming

 

[Champ_Pal]

There is turn in the wicket. This spell from Usama would be absolutely crucial.

 

[ArabKnight]

We are 100 short lol

Afghanistan can chase 400 if given Rauf, Mir, etc.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

153.6 Kph. This should be the fastest one so far in the tournament

Fully convinced about the fraud that is phasst bowling vs line length bowling.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Under Sarfraz we hadn't experienced 1/10th of the humiliation we are seeing here

 

[emranabbas]

Chacha is always sleep in the field

 

[GLORY OF '92]

For heavens sake one over without a boundary is impossible???

 

[castortroy]

Would be a disaster if Afghanistan don't win from here

 

[Ahmed216]

Terrible technique in slips from none other than Chacha

 

[MMHS]

Body language is so poor - are they playing AFGs or Aussies!!

 

[Champ_Pal]

9 wicket humiliation coming

Afg can collapse at any time. Batting is not their strength.

 

[hafizexpress]

This is some of the worst field settings I've seen from Babar. Absolutely brainless so far

 

[ExpressPacer]

153.6 Kph. This should be the fastest one so far in the tournament

Serious heat. That maiden from Haris was top quality bowling

 

[mominsaigol]

Under Sarfraz we hadn't experienced 1/10th of the humiliation we are seeing here

that's because sarfraz wasn't a toothless captain. He was the winner of psl and under 19, he knew how to captain a side.

 

[Syed1]

We all know had Mir been from Karachi and Abrar been from Punjab, who would have been in the reserves and who would have been in the 15.

 

[shortbread]

By hook or crook, Afghanistan somehow manage a boundary every over.

 

[castortroy]

For heavens sake one over without a boundary is impossible???

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Mr. MIR is no real threat. Average bowler

 

[gani999]

This same Afghan attack scored 283 against England, a side much stronger than Pak on paper.

What makes Pak fans underestimate them so much?

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar should bowl here

 

[jnaveen1980]

U mean he'll start bowling full tosses

Honestly at his pace that is not a bad idea. Low full tosses rather than short of a length with width

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Usama should toss it up even slower and with revs. Enticee Gurbaaz to hit over the top

 

[Savak]

Spinners are useless if Babar can't dry up the singles.

 

[JaDed]

Afghanistan getting Pakistani posters nervous , relax the middle overs is where these guys screw up.
Only way Pak mess this is with their pathetic catching.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

The Afghanistan openers are really world class. Wow

 

[batandballbattle]

why is chacha at fly slip put shadab there!

[GLORY OF '92]

I'm getting angrier every match

 

[ArabKnight]

There is turn in the wicket. This spell from Usama would be absolutely crucial.

That’s a nice line to use in standup.

 

[viking2559]

Chacha has dropped so many catches yet he is their slip fielder. He is not a slip fielder he is a sleeping fielder. Pathetic.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

We all know had Mir been from Karachi and Abrar been from Punjab, who would have been in the reserves and who would have been in the 15.

Same case with:

Sarfraz and Rizwan

Azam and Iftikhar

Saim and Imam

Mir Hamza and Rauf

Danish Aziz and Salman

Sharjeel and Abdullah

The list can go on and on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Captain should experiment all type of spinners here. Finger spinners included

 

[aukhan]

The pitch looks fine here. This is getting embarrassing.

Babar should be sacked today if we lose.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rauf bhai again

 

[lazy cricketer]

What was that effort and then smile by Hassan?

joker is smiling all the time be serious you losing the game

 

[globetrotter]

Big smile on Imam face, is he enjoying AFG batting?

 

[Shafi]

I think we were lucky that Australia didn't score 450 against us, Can Shafiq or Babar bat like Afghan batters? Every team plays modern cricket where we still 90s

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wow

 

[TheSultan]

Congrats Afghanistan

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

I'm getting angrier every match

Meditation might help

 

[hafizexpress]

Spin should take over now. Rauf continuing is a horrible tactic right now. Gurbaz has a SR of 107 vs pace and 59 vs spin. Choke him

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Honestly speaking this was needed.

The more sour our world cup is, the sweeter the changes we see may be

 

[hass]

Disgustingly poor bowling display. And it's been like this since the start of the Asia Cup

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Jesus this is embarrassing

 

[shah_1]

Babar should be sacked

He assembled the worst attack in Pakistan WC's history. He had four years of captaincy, had all the say in playing 11 and selection of the squad.

 

[imshally81]

Babar seems totally clueless

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gurbaz is practically Rohit sharma 2.0 with pull shot. Why are they bowling hip height short ball.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Seriously Poor bowling from Rauf.

 

[Syed1]

I hope this WC is the end of Haris Rauf's career. Go scream and shout in gully cricket where you belong.

 

[heddie19]

153.6 Kph. This should be the fastest one so far in the tournament

Speed ko chatna hai?
We are getting thrashed.

 

[Major]

babar plz remove HARIS RAUFF

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Honestly speaking this was needed.

The more sour our world cup is, the sweeter the changes we see may be

Babar will captain 2027.

Imam will open

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

This is a thrashing , Pak needs wholesale changes

 

[ArabKnight]

So Babar's innings being put into perspective

It was funny seeing his fans try to justify his poor strike rate

Babar is an inferior batter to Sarfraz in every way. Sarfraz bats faster in Tests than Babar does in ODIs. Sarfraz has one of the highest Pakistani Test SRs along with Afridi.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Honestly speaking this was needed.

The more sour our world cup is, the sweeter the changes we see may be

Have read this statement every world cup. Pakistan, the team in eternal rebuilding phase,

 

[7sins]

Easy going Afghan match to lose or choke pak deserve this humiliation

 

[Major]

I hope this WC is the end of Haris Rauf's career. Go scream and shout in gully cricket where you belong.

dont worry every career doesnt end like Sarfrazs does

 

[lazy cricketer]

rauf just cant contain...he is the worst bowler pak has ever had... the issue is they kept playing weak teams and he got some wickets and got that fake hype around is... WELCOME TO THE REALITY

 

[shortbread]

Honestly speaking this was needed.

The more sour our world cup is, the sweeter the changes we see may be

The changes will be new coach, new captain, but same bunch of clowns!

 

[Nado_]

How hard is it to bowl wicket to wicket. You are international players, this should be straight forward thing to do

 

[mominsaigol]

Afghanistan are humiliating us even worse then India lol
