Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs in 17th match of 2019 World Cup

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Good fielding placements

Third man and fine leg?

 

[hur rizvi]

Hafeez needs to hit Maxwell out of the park. Only thing he's capable of doing on this pitch

 

[Hasan123]

Good shot Hafeez.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

When was the last time we chased down a 300 score against a big team?

There's always a time for the first..

 

[Chokli]

Cash in MAxi but I have a feeling we 'll make him "the spinner" today

I remember when he defended 2 runs in the 50th over to win the match for Australia against us.

 

[Shafi]

Pakistani fans are destroying Babar. He is a fluid player who takes time to score runs. Because of you guys, he is compelled to score quicker.. and he is throwing it away..

Don't blame fans. He always choke under pressure against big teams. He can do well against inferior bowling with no pressure.

 

[Ronaldo7]

He didn't need to score so fast today.. can't you see the irony..

I've seen too many of his 25 ball 30s to take him seriously.
I rate imam over him. At least imam is an impact player.

 

[Mean&Green]

I love it when maxwell cries when he gets hit does he actually think he’s a bowler lmao

 

[Syed1]

If Maxwell goes for less than 60 rpo, then Aus will win the match.

 

[adil79]

Run out is also on the cards.

We are gonna lose. What matter is by how many runs.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

They scored some 80 runs off Shoaib and hafeez today.Need to attack Glenn maxi more

 

[Chokli]

Third man and fine leg?

Which are probably the most conventional fielding positions in the first batch of overs?

 

[Ronaldo7]

When was the last time we chased down a 300 score against a big team?

2016 5th odi vs eng

 

[Snowflake]

These two have to get us to 150 for Pak to stand a chance

 

[Mean&Green]

I remember when he defended 2 runs in the 50th over to win the match for Australia against us.

Bro stop don’t even remind me of that

 

[Syed1]

Run out is also on the cards.

We are gonna lose. What matter is by how many runs.

You are most welcome to stop watching and stop posting

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Come on hafeez stage is set once again for you to shine

 

[Plumb]

They scored some 80 runs off Shoaib and hafeez today.Need to attack Glenn maxi more

11 overs 86 1 wicket

 

[emranabbas]

We are going good just need to keep hold of the wickets up untill the 35th over

 

[Abdullah]

Long way to go guys. Just need these 2 to stick it out.

 

[Titan24]

Imam, Babar, Shaheen, Shadab, Hasnain are all young and still learning their craft. They will become more impactful with time.

Excluding the two 38 (Not at their peak anymore) years old Pak team is one of the most inexperienced one in the WC.

 

[Zhasan]

At this rate, we will be 50/60 runs short at the end.

Bowling has done it's job, time for batting to bring it home..

But we know the biased hacks who support their individual favorites will come up with a litany of excuses.

 

[msb314]

Imam has to get a move on - cannot rely on others anymore...

 

[Hasan123]

Stonis is so over hyped. Don't see what Australian think tank sees in him.

 

[Fahdi]

We need Hafeez to get a 50.

Imam needs to up the ante just a bit. We can't fall too far behind the asking rate

 

[Plumb]

We have to attack Maxi to disturb Aus plans.... counter attack is the best defense...

 

[Syed1]

Imam needs to stop tuk tuking and now improve his SR

 

[hur rizvi]

Imam needs to hold one end and take game as deep as possible to avoid massive NRR defeat

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

These two are crucial for Pak. If Aus gets another wicket, they will be in drivers seat.
Good game so far

 

[adil79]

You are most welcome to stop watching and stop posting

Hey man, i love my team. I am sorry if i hurt your sentiments. We need to play 50 overs. That's what i emphasized.

 

[adzzy786]

Need a big partnership here. Come on Hafeez!

 

[JellyBro]

Malik needs to step up today and make use of his experience. He hasnt delivered at all this tournament. Seems like a waste of an extremely critical all rounder position

 

[Rayyman]

I feel like we need to lose here in order to beat India

 

[Asif321]

These 2 need to bat till 150 atleast

 

[Ronaldo7]

Imam needs to hold one end and take game as deep as possible to avoid massive NRR defeat

NRR is not important anymore. We're already in a bad position NRR wise.

 

[Chokli]

Imam has to get a move on - cannot rely on others anymore...

He needs to bat through and stay at the wicket, stop watching his strike rate.

He'll get out if he starts worrying about strike rate.

It's a 50 over match and we've only had 15 overs.

This team got all out within 21 overs, if that doesn't tell you how vital Imam is then I don't know what will.

 

[Mueez]

I feel like we need to lose here in order to beat India

I think we need to win here to make the semis.

 

[hur rizvi]

Not good, target maxi

 

[adil79]

Pakistani fans are destroying Babar. He is a fluid player who takes time to score runs. Because of you guys, he is compelled to score quicker.. and he is throwing it away..

That media guy criticizing him for his 100 did more damage than any bowler to babar so far.

 

[JellyBro]

I feel an edge coming. Professor getting bamboozled

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

These 2 need to bat till 150 atleast

5 an over till 30 overs, cant see these two lasting long..

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

pakistan need to get atleast 70 runs from maxwell overs. they have to attack him

 

[Plumb]

I feel like we need to lose here in order to beat India

really??

 

[Syed1]

Imam even tuk tuking Maxwell

 

[hur rizvi]

Just 2 runs so far of Maxi over

 

[msb314]

That is 3 consecutive dot balls off maxwell

 

[Chokli]

Imam needs to stop tuk tuking and now improve his SR

And then you have double digit IQ cricket fans, like this one, that have no idea about the game.

Stick to T20 or T10 rather.

 

[Plumb]

Comon Guyssss attack Maxiiiii

 

[topspin]

That's his role, to hold up one end and bat through the innings, otherwise they'll be all out within 21 overs.

Now that Fakhar and Babar both threw their wickets away he'll be under even more pressure to stay at the wicket.

I know that happened against the WI but that is an extreme example even by Pakistan's medicore standards.

This is a 300+ run chase and it's unacceptable that he keeps putting this much pressure on his partner(s) at the other end. If you can't score boundaries, at least rotate the strike and play the ball into the gaps. Not expecting him to take risks because he doesn't have the game to prevail.

 

[hur rizvi]

Just 3 of Maxi over

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Imam has to get a move on - cannot rely on others anymore...

Yep. New ball has been seen off ages ago, he needs to start getting some singles now. Same goes for Hafeez who is equally bad at strike rotation.

 

[Hasan123]

Maxwell already bowled 3 overs for not much.

 

[Rayyman]

Remember they treated Denly like Shane Warne last month.

Please don't do that to Maxwell

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Suddenly 308 looks like 370.

 

[adil79]

Haris Sohail would have helped today instead of Asif Ali

 

[Mkumar825]

Easy win for Pak

 

[castortroy]

Maxwell getting away with murder here

 

[Hasan123]

Good running.

 

[Chokli]

I know that happened against the WI but that is an extreme example even by Pakistan's medicore standards.

This is a 300+ run chase and it's unacceptable that he keeps putting this much pressure on his partner(s) at the other end. If you can't score boundaries, at least rotate the strike and play the ball into the gaps. Not expecting him to take risks because he doesn't have the game to prevail.

How is he putting pressure when there wasn't any pressure to begin with? What pressure was there in the 2nd over? What pressure was there when we were 51/1 after 10 overs?

 

[shah_1]

He needs to hurry up a bit

Don't let Maxwell settle

 

[Plumb]

If after 18 years of cricket Both Hafeez and Malik cant win us games like these then who can

 

[Smudger]

No Stoinis

 

[hur rizvi]

MAtter of time before a massive collapse is triggered

 

[Gladiators]

Need two batsmen (these two, really) to show some responsibility and post some big scores. One needs 100, the other needs 80 odd.

 

[Uzi]

They are piling more pressure on themselves by playing dot balls against the likes of Maxwell. They need to rotate the strike. Important to keep on taking singles and twos where possible.

 

[Zhasan]

Bhateeja striking at 50 won't cut it.

I get it he is trying to preserve wickets, but when you can't take a single off Maxwell to save your life and play out 3 dots in a row...then sadly your skills are even lower than a club level batsman, you have no business being in the national side.

 

[topspin]

innings is going nowhere

 

[hur rizvi]

If after 18 years of cricket Both Hafeez and Malik cant win us games like these then who can

It's beyond their abilities as cricketers specially Malik's

 

[Ram Shekhar]

That media guy criticizing him for his 100 did more damage than any bowler to babar so far.

Agreed completely..

 

[Rayyman]

Class is in session

 

[Syed1]

So another batsman having to take the burden of scoring because chachu ki rani cannot be bothered with upping his SR

 

[Chokli]

innings is going nowhere

It's a 50 over match yaaaaar and we're chasing 300 not 350.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Don't blame fans. He always choke under pressure against big teams. He can do well against inferior bowling with no pressure.

He didn't choke today. He overdid his strokes.. are we watching the same match?

 

[Barragan]

Hfaeez should be facing majority of the balls from Maxwell, but imam is playing him for dot balls and not rotating enough.

 

[Titan24]

Imam needs to rotate and hafeez need to be the aggressive partner and if they can develop a decent partnership you never know

 

[rollingstoned]

Pakistan may get close but their lackluster lower order will probably end up costing them. They really needed a good start here even if australia didn't finish the innings well at all. Days of akmal, razzaq , afridi lower order is long gone now and it's quite a top heavy line up. It's not a massive total so they shouldn't worry yet about the asking rate.

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan on right track.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

It's Hafeez's time to shine. He has all the class in the world. He just somehow fails.. lovely batsman to watch when in flow

 

[Hasan123]

Think Maxwell will bowl will 10. Don't see Smith and Finch being used.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

11 overs 86 1 wicket

So Glenn has to be attacked more they need to score at least 70 off his bowling
