Congrats Pakistan! Finally overcoming the demons of a run-chase?

[Hyperion66]

Thought I should be the first one to open a congratulatory thread since I criticize your team all the time

Anywho, this is clinical run chase at its best on a tricky pitch. Amazing patience and temperament from Bobby and Haris. I was almost sure about a collapse but they held on to their nerves, didn't panic and took your team home. Finally it looks like Pak is overcoming it's chase demon that's been haunting you for so long. With players like Babar and Haris this is probably the beginning of a new era in terms of batting that we have never seen before in Pak cricket. Exciting times ahead for Pak fans. Enjoy the win, you thoroughly deserve it. Congratulations!!

Thanks mate
Glad that babar finally played an innings of note.

That he did, his career best innings so far, finally stepping into big boys league.

Not a surprise for me. I never underestimate Pakistan in the ICC tournaments. CT 2017 is still fresh in my mind.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bobby and Haris have been brilliant.

Today Amir, Wahab and Shadab all had forgettable days still we kept NZ to a below par score. More than batting it shows depth in bowling. Seems like Pak is starting to reuse their formula of bowling strength.

1 game at a time. Need to concentrate on Saturday's game.

Well done to team PAK. Congratulations to the fans.

Didn’t rate Babar that highly but today’s knock proved he’s the real deal. Also hats off to young Shaheen.

Thank you i had taken a day off so i am realy happy

 

[Ozeirk]

This is a bit much, we aren't even out if the woods yet to qualify for the last 4. Premature celebrations!

 

[Dingolfy]

Indians were poor chasers too in the 90's and turned the tide after the arrival of Yuvraj and Kaif. if Babar and Harris can continue playing like this, they could be your master chasers.

 

[azimiqbal]

Was a good win , but still not confident of us chasing especially targets over 250
Let’s not get over excited just concentrate on the next game

 

[Green Patriot]

Thanks.
It was a great win but still have 2 more crucial games to go.
And obviously hoping for the parosis to do the rest for us

 

[hitthestump]

The (relative) newbies of Babar and Haris got the job done.

If it was left up to the 'seniors' of Hafeez and Malik we'd have lost as usual.

Cheers to the retirements of these two!

 

[zulfiqar]

No not at all. This run chase is nothing like the ones we were up against vs Australia or vs India. That being said, I'm still glad at least two of our players were able to establish some nerves (Babar and Harris). I hope this experience in a must-win match will help them if we make it to the later stages in the tournament.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Absolutely devastating chase down this.

So proud of my boys

This is right up there now as the best chase ever by Pakistan.

Who agrees?

 

[shah9425]

Yeah one of the best chases for sure

 

[Croma]

Please change the picture on the right with the ones who deserve to be there.... (the backgroud pic.. remove RizBar... )

What a fabulous chase... feels so amazing
