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

[t_kaay]

If u gonna bowl seamers then at least bowl yorkers

 

[Rajdeep]

Jack Come Back....Come Back Jack...Come Back

 

[Energy]

That's why you needed Abrar with Tariq. Proper bowlers. And needed to drop the bits and pieces useless players.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Safe to say it's all been Brook v Pakistan

 

[globetrotter]

55 runs in 43 balls .... match is well poised...

Next 2 overs will decide fate of the match

 

[Asif321]

Well deserved for Hesson and Agha for being brainless . How can you drop abrar bs england

 

[CricVet]

This idiot captain is saving Afridi for what - defend 5 in 2 overs...effing moron.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This will be the battle for the match now

 

[hamzie]

Saim, Agha, Babar, Nawaz
all let downs but none more than babar
has been some how getting a spot in the team for the last 4 years and nothings changed

 

[JaDed]

Terrible batsman Jack, English players are tall but lol can’t time when the pitch has something

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 55 runs in 41 balls.

They are in control.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Game is done if Brook survives this over .

England and Brook can be champions .

Cricket coming home ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brook knows he can smash Nawaz and Shadab who'll bowl their overs too

 

[m.shah]

That's why you needed Abrar with Tariq. Proper bowlers. And needed to drop the bits and pieces useless players.

Everyone saw it coming except clueless management

 

[psyoptica]

This must be the crappiest pak team of all time
Nawaz, Hasan, Agha, Babar, Shadab, Salman
These are not international quality players

 

[t_kaay]

This idiot captain is saving Afridi for what - defend 5 in 2 overs...effing moron.

To be fair he would get whacked

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan keeper is antique.... hez appealing for everything

 

[batandballbattle]

in previous years I would have said this kind of loss in a blessing is disguise as a sign to remove deadwood
but the reality is they will always find a way to drift their way back in cone the next tournament

 

[Savak]

Mike Hesson definately needs to be booted. To be in Sri Lanka for almost a month and still not be able to assess the pitches, conditions is shocking.

 

[Asif321]

Agha and Hesson have to be sacked . Can’t tolerate this

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No threat at all from Tariq

 

[Varun]

Mike Hesson definately needs to be booted. To be in Sri Lanka for almost a month and still not be able to assess the pitches, conditions is shocking.

Why is it only Pakistan that make excellent coaches look rubbish? Gary Kirsten, Dav Whatmore, Mike Hesson etc.

 

[Azzurri]

First of all that ***** naqvi needs to be removed somehow

 

[Asif321]

Mike Hesson definately needs to be booted. To be in Sri Lanka for almost a month and still not be able to assess the pitches, conditions is shocking.

Dropping your number 1 spinner vs England is so stupid

 

[t_kaay]

England's game to lose. They only need 3 boundaries to finish off the game

 

[daytrader]

This idiot captain is saving Afridi for what - defend 5 in 2 overs...effing moron.

Afridi only has 1 over left

 

[JaDed]

One man show lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mike Hesson definately needs to be booted. To be in Sri Lanka for almost a month and still not be able to assess the pitches, conditions is shocking.

Just booting the coach isn't working at all as that's what they been doing since forever

 

[rickroll]

If we lose today against England then are we eliminated from the semis?

 

[imshally81]

Match is gone

 

[RidiculousMan]

Abrar has been missed badly.

Usman is easy to milk singles because of its slow pace.

I think Pakistan have to gamble with a Nawaz here. Do or die moment

 

[Energy]

How can you let one guy score 70% of the runs. That's minnow level stuff honestly.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Drop the whole team just keep Usman tariq and farhan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

If we lose today against England then are we eliminated from the semis?

Pretty much

 

[Asif321]

Horrific stuff from Agha and Hesson

 

[t_kaay]

If we lose today against England then are we eliminated from the semis?

Not entirely, will need other results and RR calculations

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Brook always superman v Pakistan so annoying

 

[Justcrazy]

Brook playing a match winning innings here

 

[CricVet]

Bring Afridi now. It is stupid to bring him if the RRR goes under 6. Bowl remaining 2 overs of Afridi and UT out NOW or the game is gone. Dumb ass captain, the coach, and the board deserves an exit though.

 

[Rajdeep]

Tariq is pretty harmless TBH. What was all the hype about him again?

There is a difference between bowling in ILT20 and bowling against world class teams like Ind/Eng.

Saim Ayub is a better spinner than him

 

[JaDed]

If we lose today against England then are we eliminated from the semis?

Nope same boat as India then , too much dependent upon other teams

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Not entirely, will need other results and RR calculations

Nah its over

 

[t_kaay]

Why is it only Pakistan that make excellent coaches look rubbish? Gary Kirsten, Dav Whatmore, Mike Hesson etc.

Coach can coach, depends what they do on the field tho

 

[Fast bowler6929]

New Zealand will beat England without a doubt.
This english side is pathetic apart from one or two players.

 

[hamzie]

If we lose today against England then are we eliminated from the semis?

yes because NZ isnt losing to SL

 

[shariqnoor]

Abrar wouldn't have done anything on this pitch. It's not spinning. Pakistan will lose this because of their batting, not bowling. The bowling has done well.

 

[Justcrazy]

In middle overs England have better batters. That is the difference

 

[Energy]

Not entirely, will need other results and RR calculations

Sri Lanka winning tomorrow will give Pakistan an outside chance.

 

[JaDed]

lol 2007-2012 PCT was such a good T20 team, Amir’s highlight is nice to see

 

[m.shah]

Why bring Nawaz here lol

 

[shah9425]

Another world cup gone

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Usman khan is so annoying behind the stumps

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Nawaz shadab zimbru Usman khan captain agha. They are so awful add saim to the list as well.

 

[m.shah]

Mike Hesson definately needs to be booted. To be in Sri Lanka for almost a month and still not be able to assess the pitches, conditions is shocking.

He should be sacked for playing too many bits and pieces players

 

[t_kaay]

Nah its over

Tie on 3 points with NZ?

 

[The_KING]

Match is over

 

[batandballbattle]

now you see how much of a blessing the rain was against new zealand

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hesson talking to them in the drinks break and the whole team looked clueless like they don't get anything he says

 

[Boyka]

Yeah the batting at the end lost it

 

[shah9425]

lol 2007-2012 PCT was such a good T20 team, Amir’s highlight is nice to see

That was a gun team

We were used to be in last four always

 

[CricVet]

LoL at this bowler Nawaz...does not know the length and line after getting decimated in the other world cup...did not learn anything...keep on pitching full and on pads...stupid

 

[globetrotter]

Bring Afridi now. It is stupid to bring him if the RRR goes under 6. Bowl remaining 2 overs of Afridi and UT out NOW or the game is gone. Dumb ass captain, the coach, and the board deserves an exit though.

Afridi fixed his place in the team for next 2 years

 

[Energy]

So many 2s. Babar couldn't run even one of them.

 

[adi_62941]

I have never seen this useless nawaz swing the ball

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Tie on 3 points with NZ?

or NZ loses both Games and SL Game will be quarter final. Thats another Scenario

 

[Asif321]

Hesson and Agha don’t know how to utilize the players . And then adding craps like Babar and Shadab . Since Asia cup persisting with Ayub as opener he keeps failing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't stop these singles and twos

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fielding is woeful

 

[Kianig89]

Adios it is for us unless a miracle

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Nawaz becomes invisible against top teams

 

[batandballbattle]

lol 2007-2012 PCT was such a good T20 team, Amir’s highlight is nice to see

miss gul's pinpoint yorkers like you wouldn't believe
could be handy with the bat as well every so often, won us that game against SA with some big blows

 

[Smbhayi]

Pakistan missed few doubles but England steals lot of doubles here..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

When Brook was going bonkers why didn't they try Tariq for an over earlier

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Difference so far have been dots, Eng have played very few.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Win or lose , this has been a great game of cricket.

That’s how knock outs should be.
Not whatever India played at Ahmedabad where they allowed their opponents to violate them.

Even if England loa where, thy fought against mighty Pakistanis brother

 

[adi_62941]

Match is over. Very very bad captaincy and planning.
Clearly abrar should have played instead of nawaz or shadab.

How many times we will see these two useless players in playing xi. Shadab and nawaz

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We've played the same WC since 2016 lol

 

[globetrotter]

Great inning bt Harry Brooks

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

just like last Wc when we were thrown out by US , Nothing will change after the tournament. Same players will keep rotating. Come PSL everythong will be forgotten

 

[JattMaula]

This is the over!
