It's safe to say India trolled Pakistan by making babar, Rizwan partnership better than what reality is lol.

166 got chased with an over to spare.
And you think 176 was a gun score.
That's what you get with this minnow-level thinking. In fact, 190+ was on the cards too.
We wasted too many balls. Can't have too many accumulators like Rizwan, Malik, Babar at the top 5.
Only Babar is the accumulator we really need.

Its justified. Against heavy hitters of aus, 170ish will always be below par.

Finch was out for a Golden duck
They still chased 177
You either come off like Warner did, or you get out without troubling the scorers.

You may "think" it is gun but if it was gun, aus wouldn't have won with a over to spare.
It's true.
Rizwan was never going to work for Pakistan that too at the top.
People get emotional very quickly. He just doesn't have the ability to hit pacers/spinners of half decent quality.
It's not about how many runs they score, it's about how they score.
Which is too slow.

Bro you are committing the crime of :bhens ke aage been bajana
No one here is listening to you, even if you are making sense. We as cricket fans of Pakistan made our bed when we decided to put all our eggs in the basket of Rizwan+Babar combo
We must sleep in it now.
Yep nothing to do with the missed run outs, dropped catches or poor bowling in the end. It’s all Mohammad Rizwan and nothing else
Yep.
It was going to cost us and it did.
Cherry on top, freaking Malik from 1990s playing in 2021, who is a proven failure vs. pace and in ICC tournaments too.

Riz and Babar were okay for UAE conditions but going Australia we definitely can't take these 2 as openers .yes Rizwan is doing good but we are wasting powerplay. In Australia Sharjeel and fakhar type of opener will be needed . Rizwan can drop to 4 .Babar at 3
Let me just say the heartiest congratulations to the anti Babar-Rizwan brigade.
After a World Cup where we reached the semis, did well to come undefeated in our group stage and played our best quality cricket for a while, you guys finally have an opening to continue to bash two guys who have done their best to ensure our successes over the last year and can now vouch for your favourite fixers and hacks to take their place.
Now you guys can scapegoat both for the loss and ignore the 10 much more prevalent factors which resulted in our loss. Now you can finally celebrate our loss knowing your agenda can continued to be justified

Without Babar and Riz we wouldn't have been in the SFs. Can you imagine a match fixing mental midget taking on Ind?
