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

[7sins]

We need wickets non stop wickets

 

[castortroy]

Pak we about 25 runs short

 

[Ozeirk]

Not sure why Shaheen didn't bowl another over. He is most effective early on

 

[faisalm]

Just shows what the extra 20 runs could have done. No scoreboard pressure on England at the moment, so can afford to play slowly if they wanted and win by the 18th. All depends on their approach now, will they slowly knock this off or risk losing using their attacking approach.
The 4th and 5th bowler overs for Pakistan will be crucial here. If they give freebie runs then will kill any pressure that has been built.

 

[world cup captain]

Come on Wasim, need to make sure for the brain **** earlier.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Key over this.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Two wickets here and we make a game out of it. Total brainless batting. This should have been easy 155

 

[Shafi]

M wasim needs to be kicked out for neglecting better bolwer like Imad than Nawaz.

 

[shariqnoor]

Brook's love story with Pakistan is unreal. He will hurt us again. I hope not though.

 

[adzzy786]

Feel sorry for the bowlers

 

[Kianig89]

How dumb is Babar knowing with rain looming all umpires are looking at is getting 10 overs so why not bowl one more from Shaheen

 

[Aman]

brook avgs 80 agianst Pakistan

Difference between JAMT20 and a WC Final.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good bowling by Pakistan.

In these high pressure situations, only Ben Stokes and Rishabh Pant among active cricketers can win the game.

 

[m.shah]

Should have given another over to Shaheen. There is no point saving him to last.

 

[Aman]

20 more runs and England would be panicking.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Not sure why Shaheen didn't bowl another over. He is most effective early on

Yeah bowl him out if needed. We ain't taking this to 15 overs. They will win even with singles, the trick that we missed

 

[UzmanBeast]

Naseem's first over was poor. Better bowling there would have put a lot more pressure on England.

 

[Ahmed216]

Brook's love story with Pakistan is unreal. He will hurt us again. I hope not though.

In reality he doesn’t have to do anything special. England need run a ball

 

[Major]

Difference between JAMT20 and a WC Final.

there is no such thing as JAM20

 

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

Pretty terrible captaincy.

We need wickets. Why isn’t Shaheen bowling? What are overs being saved for

 

[adzzy786]

2 wickets now otherwise it’s over

 

[Suleiman]

Hasnain > Wasim.

Wasim is not a wicket taker. Good to stop flow of runs, that’s it

 

[gani999]

England should not taking risks until 13th over. Lost too many wickets already.

They can win the game with just ones and twos, and the odd no ball/wide ball. No need to take any risks. It's England's game to lose now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

needless wides from wasim

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

How is that wide lol

 

[Shafi]

Wasim is a 2nd weak link of our bowling along with Nawaz.

 

[Kianig89]

Wides galore

 

[CricVet]

All the averages take a hike at MCG. This is a tricky wicket. Difference will be the risk taken by Eng in PP vs TIMID Babar

 

[angrypathan]

That wasn’t wide

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Wasim has to come to the party

 

[Aman]

there is no such thing as JAM20

Just A Meaningless T20.

 

[Ozeirk]

Wasim is bowling defensive. The hell lol

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pretty terrible captaincy.

We need wickets. Why isn’t Shaheen bowling? What are overs being saved for

Agreed , Shaheen should have bowled 3 upfront.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Hardly any runs on board and they are giving extras.

 

[Ab Fan]

Look at Pakistan bowling attack:

Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Wasim
Shadab
Nawaz

And our T.M, Dravid and Sharma will start with :-

Bhuvi
Arshdeep
Shami
Harshal
Ashwin
Axar/Hooda

 

[Major]

Shaheen could had been bowled one more early on, or atleast Naseem..

This game isn't go down the 20th over, so no point in saving overs here

 

[Ozeirk]

This is a tough wicket. Naseems over screwd us in the beginning

 

[ex-q-zit]

Extras hurting Pakistan. They can ill afford it with such a low score to defend.

 

[Shafi]

Pathetic bowling!!!!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I would bowl spin from both ends for a while

 

[Aman]

No matter how good of a batsmen you are, finals are different.

Players who thrive under this pressure are a different level

 

[Kianig89]

Sending Iftikhar ahead of Shafan and Nawaz was a tactical blunder

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Wasim has to come to the party

He is not international standard.

 

[Ozeirk]

It's like Babar took all the pressure off lol

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Singles and doubles would have taken us to 155 and we went for boundaries.

 

[castortroy]

The last 5 overs of pak innings was a joke. They completely gave the game away.

Brook has looked clueless against all opposition bar Pak

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

For all his bravado, Brook isn’t 20 off 9.

 

[Ahmed216]

Naseem's first over was poor. Better bowling there would have put a lot more pressure on England.

We needed more runs bro. In t20s the way England play there are bound to be a few big overs

 

[Major]

This is at best a 16 over match, so use your bowlers upfront man.

 

[Ozeirk]

He is not international standard.

Wasim could have been saved for the end if the game had gotten that far.

 

[Kianig89]

Shadab conjure something

 

[IAJ]

Bowl a quick yorker to him

 

[Sherazkhalid]

No matter how good of a batsmen you are, finals are different.

Players who thrive under this pressure are a different level

Both Harris and Chacha wilted under finals pressure

 

[Aman]

For all his bravado, Brook isn’t 20 off 9.

Looks pretty ordinary.

How did he score runs against you lol?

 

[Shafi]

Look at Pakistan bowling attack:

Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Wasim
Shadab
Nawaz

And our T.M, Dravid and Sharma will start with :-

Bhuvi
Arshdeep
Shami
Harshal
Ashwin
Axar/Hooda

Still we will loose the match with ease. Our batting is even worse than associate.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They can win the game with just ones and twos, and the odd no ball/wide ball. No need to take any risks. It's England's game to lose now.

Yes but if at all they do choose to take risks , it should be around the 13th over that's when it get easier to play thanks to an older ball.

Brook playing dumb cricket

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Should have given another over to Shaheen. There is no point saving him to last.

Lol what's he saving him for, 20th over?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Butler got dismissed. But he took away all the little scoreboard pressure that Pakistan had put.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 quick wickets needed here.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Haris wicket of Buttler:

[Kianig89]

Iftikhar et. Al should be booted out after this WC

 

[gani999]

Look at Pakistan bowling attack:

Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Wasim
Shadab
Nawaz

And our T.M, Dravid and Sharma will start with :-

Bhuvi
Arshdeep
Shami
Harshal
Ashwin
Axar/Hooda

It is clearly the most competitive, even if not the best two sides, that are playing the final now. India deserve to be out.

 

[Aman]

Singles and doubles would have taken us to 155 and we went for boundaries.

Think they got psyched out by the hype around England's batting.

England's batting under pressure isn't anywhere as good.

 

[emranabbas]

Elbow hit

 

[Savak]

Naseems lack of success and penetration with the new ball through out this world cup has gone unnoticed. Pakistan should have given Hasnain a go at some point in this WC.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Atleast there is aggression and fire in bowling. This was 160 wicket which Babar is always targeting and of all days today it was missed.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

2 quick wickets needed here.

We need a miracle England should cruise now

 

[Ozeirk]

C

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

That wasn’t wide

Erasmus working for India here

 

[Markhor]

We are at least 20 runs below par and that Naseem over means there's no margin for error whatsoever with the ball unfortunately.

 

[Aman]

England win - Curran POT
Pakistan - Will have to be Shaeen or Shadab depending on who wins it for them

 

[Ab Fan]

It is clearly the most competitive, even if not the best two sides, that are playing the final now. India deserve to be out.

Agreed.

Best batting line-up vs best bowling attack. We were probably second best batting line-up but not even in top 4-5 bowling attack because we sucked in pace and spin both.

Shadab in, I hope he makes something happen.

 

[Major]

We will go down fighting inshallah

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Iftikhar et. Al should be booted out after this WC

Well he almost won it for us against Ind. If I am not wrong he had atleast one more innings.

 

[Kianig89]

Man our batting messed it up

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Should be pretty easy for England from here onwards. Deserving winners of this world cup.

 

[Waleed93]

The pathetic batting we saw in the last 5-6 overs will turn out to be the difference in the end.

 

[m.shah]

No turn for Shadab

 

[Aman]

Agreed.

Best batting line-up vs best bowling attack. We were probably second best batting line-up but not even in top 4-5 bowling attack because we sucked in pace and spin both.

Shadab in, I hope he makes something happen.

India were nowhere near the second best batting line up lol.

 

[Kianig89]

Well he almost won it for us against Ind. If I am not wrong he had atleast one more innings.

Will we play him in 2024wc
