Close loss for Afghans coming up.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Best match of the tournament

 

[deltexas]

Take a bow Joe root. Time for Overton and co to finish the game. Archer can smoke a few too. Cmon England!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Listen, bring the fielders in and protect the singles.

These sloggers will slog some sixes it’s inevitable let them take risk but don’t give them singles like easy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Four again. Archer killing Afghans

 

[jnaveen1980]

[FearlessRoar]

It's been a long time since I’ve seen such a nail-biting match.

 

[sweep_shot]

28 are needed from 21 balls.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

You look at how Afg are competing. Pakistan are just a pathetic team in all areas.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

England js fluking their way lol

Seems like Livingston final over may haunt afg

 

[Asif321]

Gotta feel for fazal he is trying hard

Bhai single roko

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

THat last over of just 2 runs will prove the critical factor

 

[Rana]

Beware the mankad

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan has choked on the field. Too many misfields

 

[NeVerMind]

Come on Engerlaaand!

 

[Bhaijaan]

MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT

Not being played in front of a full house, unfortunately, it’s a disgrace.

 

[sweep_shot]

Can go either way.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Afghans falling apart.

 

[Asif321]

[Bhaijaan]

It’s a dotty

25 from 18 needed

[NeVerMind]

Another misfield

 

[Asif321]

Just 2 runs of 50th over by afghans that might be game changer here

 

[Bhaijaan]

sorry boys Afghan aint winning this

We will not give up until it’s over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bowl Nabi, man. They are taking risk free runs against pace. You might lose in the next over but he can take wickets.

 

[Devadwal]

Afghanistan has lost it . Farooqi is useless

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Azmat losing it now

 

[sweep_shot]

Dropped catch.

Tough chance.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rashid Khan drops it

 

[deltexas]

Adil rashid and wood are no mugs with the bat. England just need to keep a cool head here

 

[Asif321]

[Hellion]

Too much choking genes shared with PAK.

[Bhaijaan]

So much support for england in Lahore compared to Afghanistan

They’re fighting a war at the border

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Too much choking genes shared with PAK.

Its not that man... there are some special with ultra special jinx powers on this thread! It happens way too often to be just a mere coincidence.

 

[sweep_shot]

[sweep_shot]

Overton is out.

Advantage Afghanistan.

 

[Hellion]

Overton out.

 

[hafizexpress]

Afganistan is crumbling under pressure. They had this in the bag but the pressure is getting to them. This is what stands between them and truly reaching the top

[Asif321]

Azmat again hahaha what a legend

 

[sweep_shot]

Overton is out.

Advantage Afghanistan.

Not sure what Overton tried to do there. He chipped it tamely.

Neither tried to keep it down nor tried to go over the rope.

 

[Hellion]

Rashid, Wood and Archer can all hit. Wickets dont matter . You needed dot balls.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Chal niqal Overton
