[saeed5646]

Youngest side of the tournament along with afghan bros. This will great experience for young players and Also happy for mickey

 

[AdamM97]

Kaptaan hitting the winning runs, Babar finally scoring a match winning century, Shaheen back in form. What a day. araz

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar will get MOTM, but Shaheen gave Pakistan the chance to win this match. Outstanding bowling.

 

[Mueez]

Mickey deserves this win.

We deserve this win.

Enjoy PPers!

 

[QalandarFan]

Amazing win!!!! Hoping India can do what is required of them now!

But man PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!!!!

 

[saeed5646]

Babar azam fitness is tested and he doesn't looks tired .shabash champion player

 

[Afhan Ali]

A great win for our fans and our team

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Give some credit to Haris as well, played lovely and supported Babar well. Sensible knock.

 

[Bewal Express]

Great innings by the young man. Well done Babar, you are a star.

 

[theariezman]

Welldone boys and Congratulations to everyone supporting Team Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

Back from work in time to see the winning runs !

Congratulations Pakistan. Still alive and kicking in this WC. Two more wins needed.

 

[saeed5646]

Meh our runrate is not that bad .England losing one match will decrease there runrate further

 

[Rifaqat]

Mabrook everyone. Hafeez is the only problem we have now.

Imam and Imad are bigger problems..

 

[CricFan2012]

Amazing win. Thank you Babar and NZ for not selecting Sodhi

 

[ekpakistani]

Alhamdulillah. So so happy. Congratulations to all the fans

 

[MMHS]

Meh our runrate is not that bad .England losing one match will decrease there runrate further

Run rate isn’t issue with Poms, unless there is one more tie/washout. ENG/SRL are on even number, PAK/BD/NZ/IND on odd numbers.

 

[Sirris]

Babar you did it booooooi

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[Sirris]

Back from work in time to see the winning runs !

Congratulations Pakistan. Still alive and kicking in this WC. Two more wins needed.

Yeah two more wins and the opponents are rather easy one would think. The hard work has been done.

 

[Asif321]

Reaction of Sarfraz after hitting winning runs show we are not done yet
Keep up the passion boys !

 

[Sirris]

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Who cares!

Enjoy the win and the celebration broooooo. We can enjoy party without having to call out people and make them feel bad.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Man so glad. can not focus on the job today.

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Who cares!

Enjoy the win and the celebration broooooo. We can enjoy party without having to call out people and make them feel bad.

But he richly deserves to feel bad.

 

[Ozeirk]

Some people were claiming that newzealand will "put us out of our misery" today.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

afghanistan ...... bat first and put under pressure.
Ban is actually better at chasing. and they ar eplayign very good cricket, it can be a very tough match.

 

[BDfanforever]

Congrats! I knew sooner or later NZ luck would run out. They are about to get a whipping from Aus and Eng hopefully as well.

 

[jattafridi]

well played Pakistan

 

[Chokli]

Imam and Imad are bigger problems..

Rich coming from a Malik fan

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

Well done 2 more matches to go

 

[The_Odd_One]

Good to see Babar and Shaheen leading from the front. These two are the most important players for Pakistan in the long term future.

 

[GrandMaster]

Congratulations Pakistan. Good job by bowlers and Babar.

 

[cric_man]

Some people were claiming that newzealand will "put us out of our misery" today.

Our misery continues....... hehehehe ak

 

[BaankeJi]

Congratulations to Pakistan fans! What a victory!

 

[Syed1]

Somebody check if [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is ok )

 

[babajee]

Beautiful. I'm speechless.

 

[ManFan]

Much needed win.

I think PAK will win the remaining two games even though BD will be more of a challenge than NZ.

That’s all we fans asked for; to put up a fight and they have been doing that for the past two games.

 

[PakHammer]

I say it again, like after the South Africa win, boys played well!!

 

[saeed5646]

A much needed practice against spin bowling for Pakistan batsmen.Hopefully this experience helps against worldclass spinner of Afghanistan

 

[Sunzi]

Top innings by Babar.

Can't overstat the inportance of Haris' knock - such a naturally attacking batsman. Took pressure off and kept scoring with fantastic cricketing shots.

Perfect foil.

 

[loves_cricket]

Simply unbelievable!!!
Congratulations and well done.
Hope to meet you in semis or final!!!

 

[Sunzi]

One game at a time.. But BD are a very fine side. That'll be tense.

Respect AFG and focus on them first.

 

[Sycamore]

Take it one game at a time, but what a chase , one of the best ever by Pakistan

 

[Captain caveman]

CONGRATULATIONS PAK FANS!
Great performance by the boys today!
The dream is still alive!

 

[CadPakFan]

Babar just played the inning of his life. Pakistan is on fire now but will still need to be at their best to beat Bangladesh and Afghanistan. We've lost to Bangladesh every time in our past 5 encounters and we nearly lost to Afghanistan in the Asia Cup if it weren't for Shoaib Malik so the boys shouldn't get too cocky over this but nevertheless a brilliant performance from Pakistan.

 

[bruhbruh]

Guys time to bump Babar vs KL thread.

 

[ARK Rafay]

If Sarfraz will be Prime Minister then Imam will be chief selector

 

[mesmerizer85]

Imagine how many matches PAK could have won chasing with Babar and Haris playing like this.. Have to point out the weaknesses of hack Mr Fakhar Zaman and also professor Hafeez

 

[Captain caveman]

Special shout out to :
SHAHEEN(you proved me wrong!)
Amir
Shadab
Wahab
Imad
Safi(great catch!)
Imam(you did better than i thought, but need to practice how to play bouncers in the nets!)
BABAR(YOU STAR- you proved me wrong, you do have guts!)
HARIS (i always believed in you!)
Hafeez( you are vital to the cause, but stop getting out to part timers, use you brain prof! Also showed great guts after getting hit in the head by ferguson!)

That leaves fakhar!- - use your brain fakhar, we need you!

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Congrats Pakistan. Don’t think anyone really expected them beat the unbeaten New Zealand.

Guess that makes the victory sweeter. Hopefully we make the semi’s in sha Allah.

 

[AdamM97]

If Sarfraz will be Prime Minister then Imam will be chief selector

You can see the future, my friend.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaheen
Babar
Haris

Well played boyzzzz.

 

[IMMY69]

Top innings from Barbar..
But man Suhail is on a different level to anyone st the moment..

 

[Ozeirk]

Certain character only shows up when the team is losing.

 

[Sirris]

But he richly deserves to feel bad.

We can show we are bigger than ego by including everyone in the celebrations

[Amirforpresident]

So what is it? a fluke, law of average thing or did NZ have an off day?

 

[topspin]

Somebody check if [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is ok )

I'm guessing it's too "insufferable" to log on to PP right now

 

[ARK Rafay]

You can see the future, my friend.

Indeed.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Beautiful. Too tense though. Shaheen and Babar and Harris were sublime.

 

[smilenoor]

Congratulation pakistan on a great win..This innings will give babar a confidence going forward..

 

[ARK Rafay]

I'm guessing it's too "insufferable" to log on to PP right now

He got owned big time today :5

 

[Mamoon]

Congratulations to everyone who is supporting this team. You deserve to be happy for now. There is no need of tagging me because I don’t want anything to do with this team - their success is momentary, but their mediocrity is eternal.

 

[LegendAli]

Congratulations to everyone who is supporting this team. You deserve to be happy for now. There is no need of tagging me because I don’t want anything to do with this team - their success is momentary, but their mediocrity is eternal.

That's the thing though no one would be tagging you if you faced the music.

 

[Chokli]

Congratulations to everyone who is supporting this team. You deserve to be happy for now. There is no need of tagging me because I don’t want anything to do with this team - their success is momentary, but their mediocrity is eternal.

We still want you in the match threads though, you're always there when the team is not doing well.

 

[KB]

Fire in the blood today.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Congratulations to everyone who is supporting this team. You deserve to be happy for now. There is no need of tagging me because I don’t want anything to do with this team - their success is momentary, but their mediocrity is eternal.

Just pray they have used up all their fluke wins, I think they have gone over their quota already. You must be furious!

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

This is a well deserved win. New Zealand fought tooth and nail. So anyone saying New Zealand were caught on their bad day is an idiot.

 

[Ali_Pakistan]

Called it yesterday in the pre match thread that Pak will win chasing in last three overs.
Congratulations everyone.

 

[90MPH]

Congratulations to everyone who is supporting this team. You deserve to be happy for now. There is no need of tagging me because I don’t want anything to do with this team - their success is momentary, but their mediocrity is eternal.

I love the smell of Napalm burning....
