England (161/6) edge past New Zealand (159/7) by 4 wickets in a tense T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash

[shah9425]

Wow rehan bhai

 

[CricVet]

Sooo....show up here those Nostradamus of the world betting that NZ would win LoL...Eng is for real despite out of order upper order, but they are a sleeping monster!

 

[Bhaijaan]

I never lost faith in my cousins the mighty Pakistanis even for a second.



The game is on now.

Let’s go!!

It’s time to slay Sri Lanka now

 

[shariqnoor]

Rehan Ahmed - I was not familiar with your game. What a knock.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan live for another day

Yup.

Pakistan now have to win big and overtake NZ's NRR.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Was always England , too much firepower in sixes and wickets

England will thump West Indies to reach final !

 

[shah9425]

Santner crying

 

[Josh]

Pakistan live for another day

What are the qualification scenarios now?

 

[kingusama92]

What a chase!

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Mighty Mighty

 

[Devadwal]

Why will you have Phillips bowl the 18th with both Ferguson and Henry having plenty of overs in store!
Brain fade NZ?

 

[batandballbattle]

what a thriller, sadly though the england win not convincing enough for our chances
reahn ahmed what a first game, felt zero pressure

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Hahahah lol Indians were happy but it seems now they have started to cry.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Out of no where haha ..chalo ji cousins can try their luck tomorrow

Asim’s never die !!!!

 

[RexRex]

Good game. Reham is a star.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rehan Nadeem Ahmed born to Mirpur Azad Kashmir parents with his father being the fast bowling all rounder in his playing days in Pakistan. Made his international debut against Pakistan in karachi was given a debut cap in WT20 game. High pressure and high stake game. The 21 year old had the weight of 310 million people but he held his nerves and played a blinder of a cameo with 19 runs off 7 balls. Each of the two sixes that he hit that had both England and Pakistan on their feet.

Pakistani origin British agent Rehan. Well done!

 

[aboveandbeyond]

England are peaking perfectly for the semis.

Also England win keeps Pskistan in the Tournament

 

[IAJ]

Come on Rehan, only you know how important this win is for England

He understood what I meant

 

[KingKhanWC]

What are the qualification scenarios now?

Spelling bees can help ? @cricketjoshila @JaDed @uppercut

 

[Devadwal]

PAKISTAN’S SEMIFINAL SCENARIO .

-Batting First Win by 67+ runs.

- Chase the target in 10.5 overs.

- Any Other Result = Eliminated

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Rehan ahmed averages like 37 I think in first class cricket.

 

[NeVerMind]

Good game. Reham is a star.

He has fearless than our so called star players like Babar or Saim

 

[Ahmed216]

Clearly over-bowled spin at the end

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan has to produce a performance of a lifetime to qualify.

0% chance if Bobzy is playing. 1% chance if he is not.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pakistan stay alive by the "barest of all margins" as Ian Smith would say.

 

[cricket.mad]

Hahahah lol Indians were happy but it seems now they have started to cry.

Not at all

Makes tourney very interesting!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Clearly over-bowled spin at the end

Yeah.

Phillips got the 18th over. That was decisive I guess. A part-timer shouldn't bowl at the death.

 

[zahid01]

This is a slow death fir pak supporters we thought losing to England put us out of our misery but no abhi jaan baki hai

 

[cricket.mad]

Don’t always think negatively bro

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Rehan ahmed has even opened batting for England.

 

[Ali Active]

pakistan need to bowl first tommorow and chase this target in 13 overs

 

[Savak]

England are peaking perfectly. They have faced adversity and difficult situations vs Nepal, Pakistan, New Zealand and have come through. Usually teams who come through successfully from big challenges are the ones who prevail in the end.

 

[Chuggy]

Pak score 150, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 160, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 180, they need to win by ~64 runs

If Lanka bats first Pak has to chase within 13 overs.

 

[Josh]

65 runs or chase in 13.4 overs I think

 

[KingKhanWC]

65 runs or chase in 14 overs approx

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Butler and Salt yet to fire. I feel indias Wickets will bring Buttler and Salt back in form

I remember he had a good passage of play against us in that test series where we won 2-1 against england, they should play him more in all forms 2bh

 

[Sachin fan]

Hahahah lol Indians were happy but it seems now they have started to cry.

Why would we be happy? Use your two brain cells. You are way easier opponents for us than new zealand. We would love to have you in semis or final.

 

[CricVet]

This is a slow death fir pak supporters we thought losing to England put us out of our misery but no abhi jaan baki hai

They deserve this slow choke...those damn leeching passengers

 

[IAJ]

Koi kuch bhi hou jaye, a few Indians won’t sleep well tonight either knowing Pakistan have a slight chance to qualify

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Will jacks is the true match finisher the best in the business right now.
4th man of the match in a single tournament is no joke.
Probably the most in a tournament by a player

 

[sweep_shot]

This was one of the best games of the tournament.

 

[Savak]

Pak score 150, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 160, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 180, they need to win by ~64 runs

If Lanka bats first Pak has to chase within 13 overs.

Impossible scenarios in Sri Lankan conditions. This present Pakistani team does not have the quality. Let's be honest, the Pakistani team does not deserve to qualify.

 

[cricket.mad]

Pak score 150, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 160, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 180, they need to win by ~64 runs

If Lanka bats first Pak has to chase within 13 overs.

Almost no chance but if pak does it , will be a huge achievement

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pak score 150, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 160, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 180, they need to win by ~64 runs

If Lanka bats first Pak has to chase within 13 overs.

10% chance for this Pakistan team . Sri Lanka won’t want to allow this humiliation at home

 

[RidiculousMan]

Open with Fakhar and Farhan. Let it rip!

 

[Savak]

That 21 run over from Glen Phillips changed the game. Excellent Game Awareness from Rehan Ahmed, that reverse sweep of Satner who was getting big turn away from the right hander was a thing of beauty.

 

[globetrotter]

Pak score 150, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 160, they need to win by ~63 runs
If Pak score 180, they need to win by ~64 runs

All cricket boards are "dushman" of Pakistan team .... they always make Pakistan's way to semis very difficult

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Why would we be happy? Use your two brain cells. You are way easier opponents for us than new zealand. We would love to have you in semis or final.

Lol your one brain cell doesn't work well. It's for obvious reasons. Muslims and Pakistan on top of that

 

[Asif321]

Only way now is to go to Srilanka team and ask them to be soft on us . Definitely Babar shouldn’t be playing tomorrow

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Unbelievable,

 

[Sachin fan]

Roza bro otherwise this @Bhaijaan @Katwalindian and @Sachin fan would be crying in their basement.

I am so grateful. But shouldn't you be a good muslim every day and not just when you have rozas?

 

[Savak]

Open with Fakhar and Farhan. Let it rip!

Drop Babar and play Naffay as well.

 

[Cric1234]

This is a slow death fir pak supporters we thought losing to England put us out of our misery but no abhi jaan baki hai

King Agha and King Bobby are coming out swinging we could see the fastest 50 record broken.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

PAKISTAN’S SEMIFINAL SCENARIO .

-Batting First Win by 67+ runs.

- Chase the target in 10.5 overs.

- Any Other Result = Eliminated

Basically, bat first or you’re out.

 

[Asif321]

Open with Fakhar and Farhan. Let it rip!

Knowing Hesson . They will open with Babar

 

[amvbfm]

Thanks to Almighty Allah and then Santner Bhai for that Phillips over. Qudrat ka nizam nizaming. Murda aik din Kay like aur zinda hogaya

 

[Mas-LFC]

England will win the world cup. Wont mind if SA wins it. Tbh anyone except India.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Fakhar Farhan opening.

Ayub at 3

Shaheen at 4

Aim for 250

 

[RidiculousMan]

Knowing Hesson . They will open with Babar

Will be good riddance for him and Bobby to go down in another humiliating loss.

 

[Bhaijaan]

My cousins can not be denied!

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Sri Lanka should consider losing just so they get to host a SF and a potential final.

 

[run-out]

Pakistan should drop babar and salman both

 

[Hyder]

Chasing anything close to 130 to 140 in 13 overs is possible.

Farhan
Fakhar
Saim
Agha
Nafay
Usman
Shadab
Faheem

This should be batting

 

[Devadwal]

Unbelievable,

Pakistan watching last three over of the chase like - Ek Dam Se Waqt Badal Diye Jazbaat Badal Diye Zindagi Badal Di

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan's equation has been simplified. Score 170 and bowl out SL for 100

 

[t_kaay]

EVERY tournament, Pakistan always rue an earlier thrashing which causes their NRR to have taken a hit. These fools never learn that even if you lose, you need to make sure you at least make it close.

 

[zahid01]

Well pakistan has to give it a go drop babar drop shadab or agha bring in nafay faheem as a batters and give them license to throw the bat we don't need anchors now let faheem bat higher in the order just go for it nothing to lose

 

[basitmian]

Current emotions:

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fakhar Farhan opening.

Ayub at 3

Shaheen at 4

Aim for 250

Realistically if I am involved in strategy, I would go with this XI

1. Fakhar
2. Farhan
3. Salman
4. Usman
5. Nafay
6. Shadab
7. Faheem
8. Shaheen
9. Naseem
10. Tariq
11. Abrar

You need 4 genuine bowlers who on their day can win the game. Shaheen or Naseem can have a hot or cold day but you have to gamble to try and bowl Sri Lanka out cheaply. Faheem, Salman and Shadab can share 4 overs.

Fakhar has to open because he likes to take a few balls before exploding. Salman's intent has been good just hope execution pulls off this time. Pakistan may look to send in Usman early if one of the openers fall early.

 

[zahid01]

King Agha and King Bobby are coming out swinging we could see the fastest 50 record broken.

They both should be dropped

 

[imranq]

go all out with hitters tomorrow: Play Fakhar, Nafay, Faheem sit Babar, Agha (if it was possible) and Usman

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan's equation has been simplified. Score 170 and bowl out SL for 100

Kusal Mendis is ruled out for Tommorow match. All star aligned for pakistan to qualify.

 

[Suleiman]

Cousins can start their packing now. Eat well tonight biryani, parota or whatever, no need to play well tomorrow

they would eat like that regardless

 

[Cric1234]

EVERY tournament, Pakistan always rue an earlier thrashing which causes their NRR to have taken a hit. These fools never learn that even if you lose, you need to make sure you at least make it close.

This time it was Sri Lanka getting thrashed which caused the run rate issue.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Pakistan watching last three over of the chase like - Ek Dam Se Waqt Badal Diye Jazbaat Badal Diye Zindagi Badal Di

Lol I was busy in other stuff, caught by surprise. Anyways, Good for India... England are a easier opponent than Kiwis for them historically

Pak took it to last over against Eng. what are you talking about? SL ne hugga tha NZ k khilaf

 

[Sachin fan]

Lol your one brain cell doesn't work well. It's for obvious reasons. Muslims and Pakistan on top of that

So wouldn't it be for fun to defeat muslims and Pakistan a second time?

Come on, use some logic

 

[Hyder]

They did lose close lol. Its just srl was thrashed by nz
