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

[topspin]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's Misbah himself running the accounts. Him admitting to love Misbah more than Pakistan team is a total red flag and very characteristic of Misbah.

Needs to be investigated by the PCB for sure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally Rauf is hitting the right line occasionally right length

 

[pillionrider]

If anyone knows how to deal with cramps...

It looks like Rizwan is growing out of that guys pads

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This squad has such slappable faces honesty

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I still think Afghanistan will lose their head somewhere

They would if Pakistan bowlers were capable of applying any pressure.

 

[ArabKnight]

Zadran has outscored Babar with 75*.

Century is loading. More better innings than Babar has ever played in his life.

 

[mominsaigol]

chup karo, he is a very good poster. My fav actually

The guy who's been on this forumn for less then a week is your all time favourite poster?

Strange how both of you also have the exact same comment and text style of speaking.

Not just misbah obsession but even the text wording is the same.

Both of you have used the phrase.
" Legendary captain"

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are taking a lot of singles. Did Kohli's innings brought some inspiration ?

 

[Major]

Use ifti plz. So fed up with babar

 

[GLORY OF '92]

They would if Pakistan bowlers were capable of applying any pressure.

Netherlands are much better than us in fielding and bowling

 

[amvbfm]

Where is the pressure!!! They are milking singles at will!!!!

Isn't that always the case? Standard Babar captaincy. Must give the guy credit: always sticks to his plans which have never changed since the day he became captain.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Afghans picking up runs with ease.

Need a phase of play where there is like 5 overs for 10 runs and 2 wickets fall. At the moment they are cruising.

 

[m.shah]

Just need 127 runs now

 

[Syed1]

Gotta commend how Afghan RR always is around 6. Thats how modern ODIs are played. Our duffers are content at batting at 4.5 rpo.

better late than never. haha

 

[JaDed]

Dont know who the coach is but Afghanistan looks a much changed side. they did brainless stuff while batting all the time. today they are batting with a plan.

Jonathan Trott

 

[Nado_]

Usama the tripe server back

 

[mominsaigol]

better late than never. haha

Goat comment . Chad fr

 

[globetrotter]

AFG will go to 200/1, then PAK will get wkts at regular… this match going for last over finish… cliffhanger

 

[imshally81]

RR is under 6 finally..

 

[batandballbattle]

Trott, quality player who will have imparted a good amount of expertise

 

[Shafi]

There is nothing in bowling. Even Kenya should win this match from this position. Hopefully Zimbabar will be disposed forever from PCT

 

[amvbfm]

Unless the Afghans throw away 2 wickets rather soon, this is over.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

He thinks definition of insanity is trying different things.

English kumzur hai nah

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need a slip in man

Probably he asked them to watch Kohli chases as home work

 

[Nado_]

Rahmath is no threat just get Ibrahim

 

[castortroy]

This Mir is awful. There must be better spinners in pak surely

 

[Shafi]

This Usama is worse than Nawaz.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Important phase of the game, Next 5 overs will decide the game

 

[jnaveen1980]

Usama mir was lucky not to be thrashed in that over. Got away with half vollies and half trackers.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Mir

 

[emranabbas]

Iftikhar is always underrated. He's way better than shadab and Nawaz..not sure why he's not used more often. Bowled well even against Australia

Babar has this policy where he wont allow anyone better than him in the side or let anyone bowl whose better than his buddies incase they lose stardom

 

[Nado_]

Ibrahim struggling with cramp, he’s going to start letting loose soon

 

[Champ_Pal]

Usama is not even a club level bowler. Afg batsmen are too lenient on him by not hitting him for sixes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan's friend now is Ibrahim's cramp. He is not looking good

 

[Sunzi]

We actually deserve to lose this. We are not entitled to win on test playing nation status. We have been so poor.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Usama is really average

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Why do Pak batsmen always look like they're on the verge of getting out. Like every ball it looks like they could get out. Lol.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Usama is not even a club level bowler. Afg batsmen are too lenient on him by not hitting him for sixes.

NZ SA will demolish him

 

[JaDed]

Ok Afghans are going to pressure on themselves by letting the rr climb, typical ..

Rauf and short ball man lol

 

[amvbfm]

Now let's hope Ibrahim retires. That's our only hope.

 

[Rana]

Needs to bowl at Rahmat’s throat

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf pace is troubling Afghanistan players .

 

[Syed1]

Ok Afghans are going to pressure on themselves by letting the rr climb, typical ..

Its climbed from 5.2 to 5.5 lol. Still an easy win.

 

[7sins]

We are so far behind in this match that only 2-3 wickets will going to change something for us

 

[Champ_Pal]

RR dropped below 6. Pressure building.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan struggling to beat Afghanistan is a sorry state of affairs

 

[JaDed]

Zardan playing for a century.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Babar has this policy where he wont allow anyone better than him in the side or let anyone bowl whose better than his buddies incase they lose stardom

this is actually very clever thinking, did not think that Babar had it in him

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Babar has this policy where he wont allow anyone better than him in the side or let anyone bowl whose better than his buddies incase they lose stardom

It will soon be all over for hom ans his buddies. Everyone can see what he's been up to, padded stats and friends 11.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

As far as Babar I think my hopes now lie on him as a test batsman. He can take his time in tests. Let's see how he goes. But he's just not aggressive enough to be a great batter in this era I think.

So if I was advising him, I would tell him be a serious test batsman. And for white ball cricket, drop the captaincy and just go for your shots....because the way things are progressing, people are going to think even less of you with useless 50s.

 

[Major]

Zardan playing for a century.

hey, as long as he is not babar or kohli and we dont have any afghan fans around here to bash, we will consider his innings a GOAT

 

[Kianig89]

Have given up another WC bites the dust, thank you Inzamam the chief selector Babar the captain and all the non performing players
Congratulations to Australia, they will get the 4th spot deservedly

 

[Champ_Pal]

One wicket here and Afg will start choking.

 

[castortroy]

No pressure whatsoever created by babar

 

[JaDed]

Its climbed from 5.2 to 5.5 lol. Still an easy win.

Watch them do mindless slogging after 4 overs.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

One wicket here and Afg will start choking.

too many wickets in hand

 

[Syed1]

India will win this WC undefeated. Its best if we return home before the semis else it'll be heartbreak like 2011..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Maybe give Ladoo some overs, no way Hasan, Rauf and Shahdab are bowling 10 each and Ifti hasn't bowled a lot either. Overall bleak outlook

 

[Devadwal]

Just 3 runs from Rauf over.

 

[gani999]

What is opposite of Qudrat Ka Nizam?

Qudrat ka Ghulam?

 

[Major]

Maybe give Ladoo some overs, no way Hasan, Rauf and Shahdab are bowling 10 each and Ifti hasn't bowled a lot either. Overall bleak outlook

who is this ladoo?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Excellent comeback from Rauf.. After going for 17 in 1st overs, he gave away just 23 in last 5..
World class bowler

 

[MMHS]

I haven’t seen a mili metre of swing or seem movement from PAK pacers today - absolute gun barrel straight, maybe few balls moved along with the angle, no movement. Even Stoinis was moving the ball at Bangalore!!!

 

[chinaman00]

At this stage Pakistan were 128-3 while Afghanistan are 161-1.

Marked difference between the two teams.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

who is this ladoo?

Ladoo aka Hasan Ali

 

[Major]

Shut up rameez, babars captaincy suck. THere is ifti bowling well and he is not being given an over

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is enough on the surface looking at some of the cracks. I am struggling to see how he is not able to extract anything.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

why not iftikhar ....

 

[JaDed]

Excellent comeback from Rauf.. After going for 17 in 1st overs, he gave away just 23 in last 5..
World class bowler

He has been nothing special.. bar that maiden he has bowled absolute pies that the batsmen havent taken advantage of.
The maiden was good.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ayt goodnight boys. I'll come back in the morning when all this drama is over.

Afghanistan will win, bookmark on my return

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

One wicket here and Afg will start choking.

Afgans do not Choke in front of Pakistanis, they would try till last wicket

 

[Shafi]

It will soon be all over for hom ans his buddies. Everyone can see what he's been up to, padded stats and friends 11.

Don;t think so. He has too many supports from top.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Dont know who the coach is but Afghanistan looks a much changed side. they did brainless stuff while batting all the time. today they are batting with a plan.

The coach is Ajay Jadeja.

 

[Devadwal]

Required rate is increasing .

 

[castortroy]

More trash from Usama

 

[hafizexpress]

Ramiz Raja's fangirling and extreme bias for Babar is the cringiest thing

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

there goes the pressure

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Required rate is increasing .

Just take 2 hits to bring it down
