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

[PakFan2010]

Par score is 180 and Pakistan are on track for 140.

 

[Kianig89]

God forbid, RR not much up if we collapse from here it will be all downhill. These two have to shoulder the responsibility

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack hitting fire pwer in middle ovrs.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Rr 7.62 . Keep it at 8 for another 2/3 .

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Wasted pace bowling by not bowling at him.

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

Yeah he's susceptible to the inswinger that keeps low too. Not sure if Overton is a good enough/consistent enough batter to exploit that

 

[shah9425]

Please accelerate
Stop playing test match

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

That Rashid over should have gone first six or two. Pakistan missed out

 

[Kianig89]

That's a pressure game evident by Pak players body language

 

[imshally81]

Ball spin and skid... 175 is enough

 

[hamzie]

need some 6s yaar
this score wont be enough

 

[KingKhanWC]

54mph slow spin hard to hit

 

[Major]

Liam dawson has to be the most lollipop spinner ever

 

[Kianig89]

They have a plan , play till 18th over to 130 then gung ho , hopefully that will click

 

[imshally81]

Outfield seems slow and uneven

 

[KingKhanWC]

Don’t do a Lanka and hole out , gaps and twos

 

[rpant_gabba]

King Babar! rescuing pakistan again!

 

[Human786]

66/2 in 9

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

someone tell that annoying kid to stop screaming babar

 

[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

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Liam dawson got away easy. Pakistan should have hit him for more.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Cant go long with these 5-6 run overs

 

[KingKhanWC]

Afridi would have destroyed bowlers like Dawson

 

[m.shah]

Both batters playing decent odi innings

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tense

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Pakistan will get 160 and England will chase it down in 17 overs.

 

[hks222]

Babar needs to play smart here.

 

[Zeshan547]

run rate nose diving , But King Karlega...

 

[IAJ]

England bowling well here. Pakistan just need runs on the board. Nawaz will bowl well here, looking at how Dawson is doing it right now.

 

[Kianig89]

Wickets in hand also key , Pak are prone to collapses pick ur bowlers

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol zimbru 22 off 19 balls.

 

[Asif321]

How can we say Babar isn’t fit in this line up when others are playing even crap . First fix that then talk about Babar . Golden Ayub and kaptaan useless with no contributions

 

[Kianig89]

The pitch from the on set looked flat but as spinners came in, it has some purchase

 

[Human786]

aiming for 160 ?

 

[RexRex]

That's sloppy running.

 

[Justcrazy]

68 . 2

Need to explode here.

 

[Kianig89]

160+ will be a fighting Total, provided SSA don't go Rauf line.
But 160 is a long shot from here

 

[hks222]

How can we say Babar isn’t fit in this line up when others are playing even crap . First fix that then talk about Babar . Golden Ayub and kaptaan useless with no contributions

Exactly.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

How can we say Babar isn’t fit in this line up when others are playing even crap . First fix that then talk about Babar . Golden Ayub and kaptaan useless with no contributions

Lol in my opinion whole team apart from farhan they shouldn't be in the team.

 

[Omer2002]

thats the worse Rash has bowled and these jokers cant do anything

 

[Human786]

aiming for 160 ?

70/2 in 10

 

[CricVet]

This is very much like pitch in Ahmedabad - sticky. Also, the same bullet outfield. There sounds like more moisture though. Let's see if Pak can score 170-180. Spin is hard to deal with.
I am not impressed by the running though. Babar is staying on the backfoot against spin - a very very dangerous thing to do.

 

[hamzie]

RR way too low

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Zimbru doing his thing.
24 off 22 balls. He doesn't have capability to play T20s..

 

[Asad T]

babar needs to get out now
24 (22) is terrible

 

[shah9425]

Nice test match going on

 

[IAJ]

Chalo enough of these single shingles, time to launch now

 

[PakFan2010]

This is a good start by Pakstan.

If these two bat until the 35th over, Pakistan can launch in the last 15.

270 will be a good score.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Rash normally bowls death , England should continue with him.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

100 more to have a chance

 

[RidiculousMan]

Unless Babar hits a bowler for 20 runs now. He has destroyed Pakistan's batting score

 

[Rana]

What are we doing?

Last 2-3 overs for 15-16 runs

 

[chinaman00]

thats the worse Rash has bowled and these jokers cant do anything

Babar hasn’t grown as a batsman in 4 years. Same mistakes he made 4 years ago against spin he continues to make.

 

[NeVerMind]

thats the worse Rash has bowled and these jokers cant do anything

even the likes of Nepal were smashing Rash...

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is a good start by Pakstan.

If these two bat until the 35th over, Pakistan can launch in the last 15.

270 will be a good score.

It’s T20 bro.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need 6s English will hit at least 8

 

[Asif321]

Lol in my opinion whole team apart from farhan they shouldn't be in the team.

What was need to change Fakhar Farhan combo after that Asia cup final . Don’t understand .

 

[hur rizvi]

Crazy stuff- RR below 7 now

 

[Devadwal]

Bobsy is playing match winning knock.

 

[Zeshan547]

They are wasting too many balls , they will come back to haunt them like always. But our lot never learn.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Captain himself is useless what can he expect from others

 

[saabir]

Ball not turning. Babar is struggling against Rashid. Certainly not a good start by Pakistan

 

[RexRex]

Did he just call him Waqqy ?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Risks time now , batting to come

 

[CricVet]

160 will be a fighting score. 180 winning again.

 

[shah_1]

Even Farhan is not playing better

 

[boomboomcheema]

Innings going nowhere, Babar living upto his reputation.

 

[IAJ]

Ab kuch badha houne wala hai

 

[rpant_gabba]

What are we doing?

Last 2-3 overs for 15-16 runs

Believe in Babar!

 

[hur rizvi]

Babar needs to get out

 

[Error404]

These two need to get a move on... They got a long batting line up

 

[hur rizvi]

But Farhan will

 

[hamzie]

another fantastic innings by babar
thank you for your services to pct

 

[Human786]

73/3 ... Barbar shaheed ho gaya

 

[IAJ]

Ab kuch badha houne wala hai

I was right. Babar gone

 

[shah_1]

Nothing shot from Babar

Why is he playing?

 

[shah9425]

Fake plastic king gone

 

[CricVet]

Gone Babar

 

[hks222]

Chalo jee.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[Rajdeep]

Nasser Hussain commentating in Pakistan matches is unbearable. Where is BCCICC when you need them?
