What a win Pakistan!!!

What a way to beat the # 1 ranked team after the disastrous game against India.

IMO we have done enough to reach the SF. India will beat SAF and SL and we will eliminate SL for sure after being buoyed by our victory today!

IMO beating SAF should give us a lot of confidence that we can take any team on blow for blow. Just have to continue playing positive cricket and believe that no target is out of reach until the final ball is bowled. We suffer from lack of confidence the most but this win should lift us up tremendously.

Can't wait for the SF's!!
 
One of the favourites?

Did win against SA in WC 2015 make us favourites? No ... neither does this win.

However we have good chance to qualify for semi.
 
we only one a single game so far, where not favorites lol, but if he reach the semi finals, anything can happen from their.
 
Haha amazing positivity.

If Pakistan win the Champions Trophy, I'll run around the block naked.
 
Pakistan batting is still dependent on bowling out teams for under 250. And now days 300 is par score. They ask to much from Pakistani bowlers.
 
Not one of the favourites but we can qualify for the semis, and take it from there.
 
If the score is over 250 Pakistan chance of winning drops to 20%. No way will they constrain Australia, India, England to less then 250. No way will Pakistan win the tournament or even progress further from the semi finals as much as I wish we could.
 
Looool the favourites? Such delusion. Much wow. We won't be able to chase anything over 250 against the likes of England/Aussies/NZ, depending on who qualifies from that group. I still had my doubts over whether we'd have chased THIS total without further hiccups if not for the rain.

Our batting can take advantage of rain. Restrict teams to around 280 which it looked like doing against India before terrible fielding, drop catches and last 4 overs. After that take good start, no tuk tuk. At 20 overs Pakistan should be ahead of DLS and then pray for rain. :moyo
 
Yep im convinced. Forget the CT trophy i think they already have one hand on the next world cup.
 
Yes - if we can beat SAF then we can match blow for blow with the likes of Australia, England even India on any given day.

Yes indeed. As I said, it is the start of a new golden era.

It was possible because shehzad was dropped. Hope he isnt picked ever again.
 
Forget tournament favourites England will beat us if we get to semi finals as runners up. However a semi final appearance would be good for us as we are ranked 8th and meant to be the worse. Hopefully we become 6th ranked at least. We are better than Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Great progress from the bronze era we were in. This performance was so good that we leapfrogged the silver era directly into golden era.
 
Tournament favourites?

One of the favourites?

Favourites? :danish

Tournament favourites???

Didn't realise you could have eight tournament favourites... :srt

The delusion of some fans is saddening.

This thread is absolute bantah :afridi

Delusion or Insanity. Take your pick.
