England (166/8) edge past Pakistan (164/9) by 2 wickets, leaving Pakistan on the brink of elimination from T20 World Cup 2026

[Cryin Out Loud]

Jokes aside Babar looks purposeful - more than I’ve seen him in a while.

I’m tell’ ya guys

 

[Hellion]

Wow, Bobzy

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tonight might be King’s night.

It can also be called a Kingsley night.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Class is permanent.

If Farhan can play sensible a good start

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Irrespective of the result of tournament.
Pakistan should drop salman useless agha. He can never be a t20 player.
He can't play fast bowling he can't spin bowling.

 

[Kroll]

King Babar, the slayer of angrez

 

[emranabbas]

Boobzy is the real king

 

[Major]

Im just watching farhan bat

 

[t_kaay]

some nice shots from babar these guys need to bat another 5 overs, will take 80-2 after 10 tbh

That would actually be a good platform for 180+

 

[KingKhanWC]

Run out on with these two

 

[hamzie]

how is ramiz calling that an inside edge
our commentators are so bad

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol Babar is being celebrated as Hero....God knows how long this euphoria lasts.

 

[IAJ]

Quick outfield

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Outfield is pretty fast. Fastest in srilanka.

 

[KingKhanWC]

170 is par

 

[hks222]

Come onnnnnnn

 

[Asif321]

You have Fakhar their was no need to open Saim

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Spin is gripping. Anything above 150 should be tough for the English.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This pitch is certainly 180 plus. Pakistan has to bat pretty well to get there.

 

[shah9425]

Mid power play

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

shocking PP on a flat wicket

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol Babar is being celebrated as Hero....God knows how long this euphoria lasts.

He always had class though. Just out of form.

A good range of ground shots, a good timer, absolute treat to watch when on song.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Drinks after 6 overs

 

[t_kaay]

Not a bad powerplay. Not explosive but we play old school and make a pad to launch

 

[RidiculousMan]

Agha needed to hit Dawson out of the attack. He missed another opportunity. Feeling like the Agha 2.0 before WT20 was false alarm

 

[PakFan2010]

Butler and Salt will be 70/0 after 5 on this pitch.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Send Usman Khan in. Only he can play left arm spin in this lineup now.

Tbh I'd characterize Dawson as a darter than a left arm spinner

Really brainless batting by Salman picking out the only fielder on the off-side

 

[Error404]

Not a complete belter this, 165-170 will be a good score.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Drinks after 6 overs

Has always been so this WC.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Salman agha has failed in every important match.
He failed against India in Asia Cup and world cup and failed generally in the world cup.
He is garbage player in this format.

 

[Rana]

Butler and Salt will be 70/0 after 5 on this pitch.

Don’t think so

Looks very slow

 

[KingKhanWC]

shocking PP on a flat wicket

Not bad Archer bowler half on fire .

Small ground fast outside, find the gaps and find the car park

 

[Azzurri]

It’s Not an easy pitch

 

[Zeshan547]

He always had class though. Just out of form.

A good range of ground shots, a good timer, absolute treat to watch when on song.

Achaar dalna hai technique ka, when he have hardly ever made proper impact full runs.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Butler and Salt will be 70/0 after 5 on this pitch.

Buttler can't buy a run right now. I don't think it will be that easy

 

[KingKhanWC]

Has always been so this WC.

I’ll have a chai pls aunti ji

 

[G0rmintAunty]

shocking PP on a flat wicket

Ball wasnt really coming on to the bat from what I saw.

 

[Asif321]

Salman agha has failed in every important match.
He failed against India in Asia Cup and world cup and failed generally in the world cup.
He is garbage player in this format.

He is wasting number 3 position .

 

[m.shah]

Good bowler Sam

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tbh I'd characterize Dawson as a darter than a left arm spinner

Really brainless batting by Salman picking out the only fielder on the off-side

He's a very canny spinner. And to Brook's ultimate credit , he has used him very well throughout the tournament .Brought him in after Saim was out.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The destroyer in chief from the 2022 final - Sam Curran

 

[GudduBadmash]

How is saim getting so many opportunities and no 1 is questioning

Looks like guy has very prominent connections in the cricketing world because he cant buy a run against decent teams to save his life

 

[Fast bowler6929]

I don't understand why salman agha is hailed as some sort of spin bowling killer.

He is not even decently good against spin bowling.

 

[JattMaula]

King Bobby B redemption arc is coming!

 

[hamzie]

The destroyer in chief from the 2022 final - Sam Curran

did really well in BBL recently too

 

[Asif321]

Need Bobby or Farhan special

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He's a very canny spinner. And to Brook's ultimate credit , he has used him very well throughout the tournament .Brought him in after Saim was out.

That's true..

 

[GudduBadmash]

Real test begins when Rashid comes to bowl to Babar

 

[G0rmintAunty]

I have a feeling Usman will wreak havoc here.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Farhan is looking scratchy, Babar looks good?

 

[Hawkeye]

Achaar dalna hai technique ka, when he have hardly ever made proper impact full runs.

He has made a lot of impactful runs in his prime. That was a few years ago though. There is a reason he is respected worldwide.

For Pak's sake we should hope he comes back to his prime form.

 

[Justcrazy]

51 . 2

Pakistan need to get gping here.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Zimbru is doing well so far. He has to play well for the team here.

 

[IAJ]

shot!

 

[Kianig89]

Game is even steven

 

[Justcrazy]

55 . 2

7 overs .

 

[KingKhanWC]

Tight on point bowling

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Noice Farhan, saved the over

 

[Hawkeye]

England can easily trap Farhan.

They haven't studied him it seems. India did!

Just bowl a few short balls to him, he will 100% give you a sweet catch. He cannot play pace at his body.

 

[Asif321]

Bichara Farhan again under pressure playing .

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Oh no, Rashid here...

 

[IAJ]

Big test for Babar now, against Adil Rashid

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Zafar gohar could replace liam dawson if considered. He is better than liam dawson

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Zimbru will struggle against Adil Rashid here.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Big test. Lets see what Babar can do. Need a big score from him today.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Such a loose ball, Babar misses.

 

[Asif321]

Agha is getting free ride . Should let Fakhar play 3 and have some shame play at 5 himself

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

People who had audacity to Compare Saim Ayub with Saeed Anwar Should be Subjected to Walk of Shame like Cersie

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar needs to be confident here . He needs to play with more confidence.

 

[Hawkeye]

Agha is getting free ride . Should let Fakhar play 3 and have some shame play at 5 himself

Agha cannot play at any position, he is an absolute waste of space!!

Why is he our captain!!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

England can easily trap Farhan.

They haven't studied him it seems. India did!

Just bowl a few short balls to him, he will 100% give you a sweet catch. He cannot play pace at his body.

Archer didn't get too many balls at him tbh

 

[Omer2002]

two half trackers and.....scared stifff

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Rashid bowling pies, need to out them away

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Don't mind them not taking too many risks against Rashid. Most dangerous bowler in the England lineup. Have to put away the half-trackers though

 

[GudduBadmash]

Agha cannot play at any position, he is an absolute waste of space!!

Why is he our captain!!

Mohsin Naqvi and him have some kind of weird relationship

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Adil Rashid has given gifts to batsmen but they didn't accept.

 

[Kianig89]

Dilly Rash , we are treating him as Warne

 

[Hawkeye]

Archer didn't get too many balls at him tbh

Wasted pace bowling by not bowling at him.

He's extremely easy to trap. IND will never give him these chances.

 

[Zeshan547]

He has made a lot of impactful runs in his prime. That was a few years ago though. There is a reason he is respected worldwide.

For Pak's sake we should hope he comes back to his prime form.

we can count those innings on one hand fingers , In ICC events , in winning cause can only remember that century vs NZ in 2019, even their Harris Sohail did heavy lifting initially. Can give him that 50 vs India in 152 match , even though target wasn't daunting but still considering Pak vs India it was great effort, what else is there in 10 year career?
