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

[jnaveen1980]

Look at the patches on the surface. There is plenty on the surface for them to exploit. They should be thankful they are not chasing Afghanistan here.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I really wish rahmat gets out

 

[imshally81]

RRR is exactly 6

 

[Devadwal]

3 dot

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Every dot ball increase the pressure .

Taking it deep - brought to you by MSD schhol of cricket

 

[JaDed]

Those who believe that Afghans are on the brink of collapse are mistaken.

Lol Required RR has already crossed RR..

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Oh gosshhh, Imam is so annoying, diving for no reason.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Afghanistan cant lose

They playing like champions

I love Afghanistan

they are playing very well .... no doubt.

 

[Buffet]

Now above 6 RR

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Required Rate more than 6 for the first time
Collapse coming... 3.....2....1..

 

[pratiktc]

Afg are done now.
Rauf and Shaheen will jam them up in last 10

 

[ex-q-zit]

With these 2 batsmen in I dare say pakistan has already won the match. Absolutely crappy guys who cant even bat at 90 strike rate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan is bowling well. Keeping tight within the stumps with a bit of reverse

 

[Asif321]

Some reverse

 

[Sunzi]

The "Cheeteh" are back in the field!

 

[Nado_]

Ball reversing !?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Required Rate more than 6 for the first time
Collapse coming... 3.....2....1..

easily said than done

 

[Major]

Ball is reversing and new man here, why not bowl pacers.

no. Rameez and Waqar are being stupid..

THe idea should be to keep 2 pacers for death, use hassan now. Keep 1 or 2 spinners that can get dot balls. Now hastmat is there who is a leftie and ifti is bolwing well.So its better if iftie continue

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Rotate the strikes you buffoons

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Hassan Ali has turned into Dale Steyn

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Like I said , this is a tough chase.Chepauk wicket simply doesn't allow these chases

 

[NeVerMind]

Maiden from Hasan Ali

 

[JattMaula]

Game On!

 

[7sins]

Ball reversing dumb captain bring in Shaheen or rauf

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing is Hasan has only 2 overs left. I am not sure how good a reverse swing bowler Rauf is. Shaheen can certainly do. But he won't want to use up seamers now.

 

[Devadwal]

Maiden over

 

[Major]

I thought he should had reviewed. It was on thigh of back leg

 

[Dantheone]

Hasan looks exhausted. Can he get one more?

 

[JaDed]

CB is right silly of him to come ahead thinking he is Dhoni or something

 

[jattafridi]

Wow famous victory for Afghanistan

Finally I can enjoy kabuli pulao

 

[ex-q-zit]

Nabi should have been sent for a quickfire 20-30 which would have put Pakistan on the backfoot. If these 2 bat for next 5 overs AFG will need 70 of 9 overs.

 

[castortroy]

That's very close

 

[NeVerMind]

Oh great! Shadab is back...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Match was lost the moment PAK scored above 270

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Afganistan will lose by atleast 30 runs .

They will win by 4 wickets, Nabi to rescue them.

 

[Kroll]

Gone to over a run a ball but its still not wide enough. A four or six will rectify it.

 

[Major]

Babar continue with Ifti, dont bring Shadab or Usama plzz

 

[Sunzi]

I thought he should had reviewed. It was on thigh of back leg

Agreed?!?

 

[Devadwal]

Great bowling

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Waaaah raay ladoo

 

[ex-q-zit]

Good decison to not take the DRS. Make these guys play as long as possible and Pkaistan wins.

 

[Syed1]

Oh great! Shadab is back...

Match was starting to get tight, so captain decided to bring back his friend to release all pressure.

 

[Itachi]

So AFG has two batsman. Rest are just there to make numbers lol.

 

[Devadwal]

Shadab came for wicket

 

[Major]

OMGG he is going to SHadab. Plz kill me. I hate this stupid captain

 

[hamzie]

why shadab...........................

 

[Omer2002]

Ifty should have stayed on for lefty ...to they even have any sense these guys

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

he needs to bowl a really good over.

 

[Asif321]

They should have send nabi to hit some

 

[adzzy786]

Why the hell is Shadab on

 

[Firebat]

Thought they should have reviewed but it was a good decision in the end.

 

[Sunzi]

Ah. Good call not to review. I'm clutching.

 

[Major]

tol

So AFG has two batsman. Rest are just there to make numbers lol

told you guys

 

[Devadwal]

Who made this Shahidi caption??

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Let's see what friendly VC is going to do here

 

[NeVerMind]

Sahdab releases the pressure....great captaincy this

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

damn he is really not making a case for himself.....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch has a lot for spinners. It looks like a minefield as more patches are developing

 

[The_KING]

This is the most brainless captain I have seen. There is reverse swing and he brings on Shadab

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Nervous times for Afghanistan.
Thats why experience counts

 

[Sunzi]

Dunno about a spinner man.

 

[Kroll]

FFS, Shadab releasing the pressure.

 

[Major]

hasmat smashes that for 4. Ifti should had bowled, but no our stupid captain had to give the over to his buddy

 

[neonoir]

Shadab brainless captaincy by babar

 

[ex-q-zit]

Match was starting to get tight, so captain decided to bring back his friend to release all pressure.

Spot on man

 

[Abraham786]

This Hasmatullah looks fixer

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Reverse swing and hand it to spinner. How dumb one has to be to do this ?

 

[Ali Active]

pressure was building and our captain brings shadab

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Four after 11 dots

 

[hamzie]

why would you bring shadab on
either go for SSA or stick with ifti

 

[oatmeal]

Shadab released the pressure

 

[emranabbas]

200 was never enough

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

just bowl dot balls ..........

 

[7sins]

Ball reversing doing its thing and you bring in crap spinners genius dummy captain

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There we go, 4

 

[Syed1]

how pathetic of a captain you have to be to bring shadab here when its reversing.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Shitty batsmen being nullified by shitty fielding captaincy

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Reverse swing and hand it to spinner. How dumb one has to be to do this ?

He is on the mission to humiliate his nation

 

[Ali Active]

shadab releases the pressure again

 

[Major]

and another 4 smash. Lannat on babar. I hate this guy

Ifti was bowling soo well. This guy has given 8 runs
