England (138/5) crowned T20 World Cup champions after a 5-wicket win over Pakistan (137/8)

[castortroy]

Need the rain big time

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Atleast we didn't loose by 10 wickets.

 

[Aman]

England just need to see out Afridi's overs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need 2 wickets this over

 

[Usman Chadda]

Horrible over. Half vollies galore.

 

[emranabbas]

Why pitch has changed for England?


Shouldn't 2's and 3's be the key here because it's a big ground????

 

[Ozeirk]

This game isn't going to go 20 overs.

Bowl your best bowlers out.

No more overs for Naseem. Not his day.

They have spinners. Naseem was too risky to start with. He hasn't done much in this tournament either

 

[Cover Drive Six]

3 more overs to complete for result.

 

[dravidthewall]

Common get the wickets

 

[PakFan2010]

Shaheen should just bowl his 4 overs. Don't worry about death bowling.

 

[Aman]

Erasmus will ensure 10 over are bowled by hook or crook

It's a final so it makes sense.

But definitely a big disadvantage for Pakistani bowlers and fielders.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pak got this score in the 4th over I think

And that too after the 6 by rizwan

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

This guy can't bowl good lengths on a bowling wicket. Douchebag

A bit over the top?

We are lucky to be playing in the final

 

[Rana]

Why pitch has changed for England?


Shouldn't 2's and 3's be the key here because it's a big ground????

Yea boi )

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Bowl the least threatening bowler. Hmm

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Gone?

 

[castortroy]

Outside leg stump

 

[Fazzy321]

Reviewed

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Review time, looks not out

 

[Aman]

That looked close?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wasting review i think

 

[castortroy]

Gone?

No

 

[JibranAnsari]

Waste

 

[Aman]

Nevermind, you can see the stumps lol.

 

[Waleed93]

Naseem bowling like this reminds me of Shoaib Akhtar absolutely losing it against Tendulkar at Centurion in 2003.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Umpires call

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Wasting review i think

We can waste it, no need to keep it

 

[Rana]

bad luck

 

[Major]

umpires call

 

[Kianig89]

Umpires call

 

[7sins]

Need salt and buttle here or game totally goes specially after pathetic over by naseem

 

[gani999]

And a review wasted....

Shaheen is the key here for Pakistan though.

 

[msb314]

Why is that not out ???

 

[JibranAnsari]

Buttler takes no pressure at all. Amazing player.

 

[Aman]

Looked really good live.

Missed a full straight one lol.

Looks like the rain is making it harder to hold the ball.

 

[Ozeirk]

Haris Rauf should been given the over after this

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Buttler is too good

 

[Rana]

Leader of men

 

[Fazzy321]

Knew Shaheen was gonna get smashed next ball

 

[castortroy]

Butler playing effortlessly

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Butler not coming slow, looks like easy win for england

 

[Major]

And a review wasted....

Shaheen is the key here for Pakistan though.

not wasted

 

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi needs to use bounce as well.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need 5 wkts in the powerplay to win

 

[Aman]

Wow.

Buttler is something else.

 

[Kianig89]

Whatever you call it Lords 99 Centurion 03 or Mohali 11
Bishop rubbing wounds into Pak fans by epic commentary

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Naseem to get another over after this?

 

[msb314]

Rubbish

 

[ex-q-zit]

All those saying big ground 2s and 3s are key how have ENg struck boundaries? Pak did teh same mistake as IND by not making use of the PP

 

[Ahmed216]

Needed 160 man. Shadab and Masood lost the plot after 16th over. We had 120 on the board already

 

[Fazzy321]

Anyway too easy for England. No scoreboard pressure

 

[Ozeirk]

Too predictable, have to mix it up

 

[castortroy]

Well done England

They do play fearless cricket

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Buttler is playing like Gilchrist did in 1999 final.

 

[Energy]

Buttler has hit 4 half volleys nicely to the boundary. Pakistan never got 4 half volleys in their entire innings. That's the difference.

 

[JibranAnsari]

England will get that in 12 overs going at this rate

 

[Major]

Why is that not out ???

impact was not in line, so umpires call, because on field umpire gave it not out

 

[Humz]

Why pitch has changed for England?


Shouldn't 2's and 3's be the key here because it's a big ground????

Its powerplays, the big field comes into play when the field is spread.

 

[7sins]

Buttler winning his team a world cup today

 

[Kianig89]

Buttler playing captains knock

 

[ex-q-zit]

[Saj]

Buttler different class to the Pakistani batters.

Making it look easy.

 

[emranabbas]

Ground was too big for us and England hitting boundaries for fun but still our openers are best in the world

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I don't like Dharmasena, he is biased.

 

[dravidthewall]

Buttler is all time great in t20

 

[Sherazkhalid]

And a review wasted....

Shaheen is the key here for Pakistan though.

Review is not wasted on Umpires call.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Chalo at least not by 10 wickets.

Still life in the game yet. I'd bring in Shadab.

 

[Major]

Negative body language by the players. No backing, SHaheen is asking them appeal and they not responding, poor from them

 

[Kianig89]

Shadab should bowl next

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris already looks under pressure

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Butler is key, we need one more bowler to work with Afridi.

 

[Mamoon]

One word to describe Naseem: overhyped.

 

[Cric1234]

People thought we were going to beat England I knew a thrashing was coming only wickets can save Pakistan now.

 

[PakFan2010]

Buttler is in incredible form.

 

[Aman]

Ground was too big for us and England hitting boundaries for fun but still our openers are best in the world

That's really noticeable.

 

[Ozeirk]

Shadab should bowl next

It's too early for him

 

[Major]

Ground was too big for us and England hitting boundaries for fun but still our openers are best in the world

because we are bowling at 140plus kph. just a slight tap and the ball will race.

WE are pitching it up to get a wicket upfront. England wasnt bowling up with same pace.

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZ would have given them a better match.

 

[Infinitee786]

Englands entire success was short bowling and utilising the bounce and changing the pace… Pakistan have bowled 10 volleys in 3 overs. This sheer lack of intelligence is telling of the chasm in difference of the levels of the two teams. Unbelievable

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ground was too big for us and England hitting boundaries for fun but still our openers are best in the world

No they are not on every day, they are good on selected days.
