ICC Men's T20 World Cup | Semi-Final | Pakistan v Australia | Dubai | 11 November | Pakistan innings

[Civil]

If we can get a solid total even like what england did. We can put the Aussies under some real pressure we are no England when it comes to death bowling. Let's go!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

i cant see the opener sticking... if the openers fall early we will get bowled out under 80

hafeez/malik don't do anything against Australia
Zaman is out of form
Asif will slog out

openers need to perform and build a platform otherwise its gonna be a collapse

Yeah the middle order is the concern. Not enough quality. Malik is absolutely useless. Hafeez and Fakhar are not in form. Asif might hit a few but there a huge difference in hitting Starc/Cummins and hitting Janat.

 

[Concerned]

Hopefully Fakhar clicks today.

 

[90MPH]

Power play Pak should take a few more calculated risks, being too cautious plays into thier hands.

 

[Ozeirk]

Australia hasn't faced an opponent tougher than this Pakistan bar England. The teams in group b were average. Australia will be surprised here

 

[Bull]

Babar should attack these bolwers.
He has done it in the past he can do it again

 

[ChennaiFan]

A few are already jittery! I hope to see a lot of dew in the second half of the match. Go Australia!

 

[jattafridi]

Easy win for Australia

 

[90MPH]

SA beat Eng batting first. Just go all out.

Was that a day game ? Day game it’s easier to defend.

 

[LaLoco]

Fakhar scoring 50+
Hassan taking 3 wickets

Pak will win

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol if Pakistan wins this game all the fans who are wrist slitting right now better not show their faces here lol

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Easy win for Australia

Promise me? You will not watch the game today?

 

[Pakhs]

We thrashed India so that's a big positive to take out of this world Cup. Enjoy it like another game and don't stress. I am sure players are relaxed and going to give us a good game.

I'm here to stay regardless of result. First time Pakistan lose a toss against top team in this world cup if they're good then they will win it otherwise we know......

If you want to win the WC you must be able to win even if you lose the toss not many teams have managed it lets see if Pakistan can.

Also beating India means nothing if you dont win the tournament. Tournament cricket is all about winning tournaments if you just want to beet India there are bilateral for that (or not for these two teams)

 

[Mean&Green]

The wrist slitting on here is hilarious . We’ve been a team throughout that has always preferred defending we have always collapsed while chasing just cause this tournament we’ve succeeded chasing doesn’t mean we have to do it every time. Toss excuses are made by weak and minnow teams a team that plays international cricket should never blame something like the toss. Dew has been around since cricket started teams have defended tons of totals in dew as well just go out and play the same way you have throughout the tournament and enjoy as should the fans.

 

[IAJ]

Lol if Pakistan wins this game all the fans who are wrist slitting right now better not show their faces here lol

Lol, how can Pakistani fans lose hope? We will win in sha Allah. And the victory will taste better after losing the toss IA.

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

Was that a day game ? Day game it’s easier to defend.

No it was Day Night.

 

[shaz619]

Pakistan have lost this )

Sorry guys

 

[masterblaster]

Pakistan won their last two matches in Dubai chasing when these two teams last played in 2018.

 

[imranq]

Australia have chased the entire tournament and won all of those games ... The only time they batted first was against England and they lost that game easily.

So safe to say odds are against Pakistan immensely

 

[Shekhar32]

Losing the toss might give a excuse to some but for me it's irrelevant.

Pakistan has no chance today against this dominant Aussie side. No chance whatsoever.

 

[Ozeirk]

If you want to win the WC you must be able to win even if you lose the toss not many teams have managed it lets see if Pakistan can.

Also beating India means nothing if you dont win the tournament. Tournament cricket is all about winning tournaments if you just want to beet India there are bilateral for that (or not for these two teams)

No, I don't agree. We already have an amazing record against them in bilateral. They have been using the worldcup to do a lot of negative pr against Pakistan over the years. Fixing that record was important.

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

Good luck Pakistan please win i have taken half day off.

 

[jattafridi]

I think Pakistan will score 147/6

Australia 148/3

 

[Kianig89]

National anthem with goosebumps

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Bigger game than Mohali 2011

 

[shamaan]

Great crowd

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

We are winning this. Australia can't chase against Shaheen, Haris, Shadab, Imad and HASAN

 

[cricket4all]

Not a good toss to lose. The team batting second has the advantage and usually goes on to win

 

[Mirpur express]

I see a big score go team green thrash them 180+ but 150 will be enough no dew this Aussie team won’t be able to chase

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia have been a bogey team in ODIs but not so much in T20s. This is going to be a cracker of a match.

 

[Kianig89]

Paly starc with respect

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bigger game than Mohali 2011

Nope

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Paly starc with respect

Play as per the ball. Dont watch the bowler. Merit please

 

[Kianig89]

Rash approach we are going with

 

[Kianig89]

Babar is the key so is the opening pair

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Rizzy wants to get going already.. man is flowing with juices

 

[emranabbas]

180 minimum is must here

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar finding the fielders with all his best shots.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

2 easy balls missed...

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Need to find them damn gaps

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar having no problems with Starc so far.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

4

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor bowling from Starc. No swing so he should just hit a hard length.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Babar having no problems with Starc so far.

Starc bowling pies... Hazlewood is the one to watch out

 

[CricketZ]

You guys are forgetting this same Australian team rattled by Pakistan in uae 3-0 they won’t even chase 150

Same ???? maybe you should watch those games again..

 

[castortroy]

Rizwan has forgotten how to play shots on the offside

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 6/0 after 1 over.

 

[Devadwal]

No swing so far

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan tying to get bonkers not a good strategy

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Rizzy no feet movement... im so nervous

 

[shamaan]

Rizwan needs to calm down

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Rizwan needs to settle down here and play the ball on it's merits instead of chasing everything.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan look in a hurry not ideal

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pace like fire

 

[MenInG]

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Rizwan needs to calm down

clearly he's extra keen

 

[Kianig89]

Sachinsque

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar looking imperious so far. If he stays he is going to win this game.

 

[Kianig89]

Single in a effy

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Fetch that...Babar has arrived!!!!

 

[castortroy]

Babar looks in very good touch

 

[Devadwal]

Babar shots are beautiful to watch.

 

[shamaan]

What a shot

 

[Kianig89]

Fakhar is a dud Rozwan needs to calm down

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hazlewood overpitches a fraction, Babar creams him to the fence.

 

[castortroy]

Rizwan going to get out playing that leg side hack

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a shot that was

 

[Zeshan547]

Ye Rizwan dhoka na de jaey aaj, today old Rizwan lag rha.

 

[Kianig89]

Not convincing rizwan

 

[whyamir]

Shot babar!

 

[shamaan]

clearly he's extra keen

Not needed

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Missed opp already.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Rizwan needs to get going

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan cool down Babar is here just support him don't be falmaboyant

 

[Asif321]

Rizzy look nervous

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan looks overwhelmed by the occasion. Needs to play his normal game.

 

[Mean&Green]

Rizwan becoming the fidget spinner he use to be

 

[silentkiller187]

target maxwell now rizzy 180 minimum needed otherwise we are going home

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

6 oovers --> 40-0 and then we can go big... important to not lose wickets here

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Rizwan need to get it going
