ICC World Cup 2023: Australia v Pakistan | Match 18 | Bengaluru | 20 October | Australia Innings

[Asad T]

Are we bowling too full?

 

[Runner Up]

Big score pressure will kill the chances of Pak win. Expect 400+. This match is done.

 

[ex-q-zit]

A few cricketing careers will come to an end today

Shadab had a lucky escape.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Quick question to Pakistani brothers,
Are you worried??

 

[adi_62941]

Where is match winner. He should also taste the party’s cake onfield

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nigh impossible to defend on this ground, these two won’t get out unless by their own mistakes.

That drop off Warner might have ended Usama Mir’s career here.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

So how long before we start calculating how we can fluke our way into the semis?

If A loses to B and C loses to D and X vs Y is washed out but India deliberately lost to F to eliminate us because they don’t want to face us in the knockouts.

Hold your horses, I have a feeling Imam is about pull off something special

 

[castortroy]

500 definitely on here

 

[hur rizvi]

This is carnage

 

[Omer2002]

nawaz will be launched just the same
we are completely broken out there

I agree...to be fair i am disappointed with chacha he is much better than this

 

[oatmeal]

Warner scoring off Usama to rub it in even more

 

[gani999]

Its unfair to us that we are playing Australia on this pitch and will play Afghanistan on the Chennai pitch

Was valid objection which Management raised to ICC but got no support even from own fans and media

Now what's the point of crying?

Dude, you really cannot choose your ground in a tournament. You have to deal with whatever is given to you. Other sides are playing on the same ground as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are getting used to Usama. He needs some support.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Worth remembering that high pace is useless here unless allied to accuracy here. '96 Waqar half vollies come to mind.

 

[IAJ]

Seems like Usama straight out come the next match and Shadab back.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak are at a disadvantage here as they do not play in IPL. These Aus players have played so much in India that it is literally their 2nd home.

 

[AAli98]

Any chance of these batsman retiring now or is that rule just for warm ups

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Usama lost us the game even before he bowled a single delivery, will keep on posting this here.

 

[Devadwal]

Even Hasan Ali has more ICC trophies than Bumrah lol

Jogindar sharma has more ICC trophy than waqar Younis .

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pakistan opted to bowl first knowing full well that the score can easily breach 350+

Yeah should have batted first, put runs on the board than chase a big one later. Atleast even if Pakistan was even 90/1 at this stage, fans would have some hope but match is over now with Australia batting first..

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Big score pressure will kill the chances of Pak win. Expect 400+. This match is done.

Bhai, I live in Bangalore. 370 is par score. Small ground, flat wicket also dew in night. Its possible to chase 370. Relax

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

For all the hype on 'small ground, small boundaries' on this forum, most of the sixes would be crowd killers in MCG, WACA or GABBA

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Its unfair to us that we are playing Australia on this pitch and will play Afghanistan on the Chennai pitch

Was valid objection which Management raised to ICC but got no support even from own fans and media

Now what's the point of crying?

Australia are a strong team in Chennai. They have a better record there than here.

 

[emranabbas]

Do these guys not know how to trick batsmen

 

[asfandyar]

Well tbh, our job was to not let India win the world cup, and this match will give Australia the much needed confidence and boost.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The way Pakistan bowls without breaking sweat they can go 8 an over. Their only way is to conjure some wicket and get Smith/Labu to crease

 

[castortroy]

You need the six hitters on this type of wicket.

Pak have no natural six hitters whereas Aussies batting order is littered with power.

Was always going to be a very one sided gamen

 

[lazy cricketer]

dil dil pakistaaaaannnnnnn

 

[Mamoon]

England’s 498 record is under threat, and so is the 481 (highest total vs a Test nation) and 438 (highest total on Indian soil).

 

[Champ_Pal]

Usama lost us the game even before he bowled a single delivery, will keep on posting this here.

Shadab would never drop that.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Wonder, what he is thinking right now

 

[adi_62941]

Pak are at a disadvantage here as they do not play in IPL. These Aus players have played so much in India that it is literally their 2nd home.

Only excuse. England, australia, newzealand didnot play in pakistan from last 15 years still managed to beat us in every our home series

 

[topspin]

Marsh is not an ODI opener, he will fail 8/10 times but of course Pakistan had to make him look like Jason Roy.

Also Warner was looking so rusty and a batsman who's clearly in decline. There's no way he should be scoring runs like this.

 

[Ahmed216]

Quick question to Pakistani brothers,
Are you worried??

Hardly surprising this effort

 

[pillionrider]

I guess someone like Bishen Bedi would love Usama

Look at the beauty on that flight.

Bishen once lost a game vs Pakistan because he refused to compromise on the beauty

 

[Nikhil_cric]

For all the hype on 'small ground, small boundaries' on this forum, most of the sixes would be crowd killers in MCG, WACA or GABBA

Also, dimensions are similar to Karachi if not slightly more, It's the pitch, altitude and outfield that makes it feel smaller.

 

[Spitfire]

Shadab had a lucky escape.

Master move by Babar to save his best buddy here.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

450 is on the card

 

[IAJ]

Had Pak batted 1st they would have been 50/2 by now poking & prodding trying to work out the surface.

Our captain doesn’t know how the team should play batting first, that’s why he is chasing. I totally agree, if Pakistan have batted first they would have made it look like a 250 runs pitch.

 

[7sins]

This game is already done and wc is fully over ain't no way batsmen like imam babar and Co chasing 380 to 400

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pak are at a disadvantage here as they do not play in IPL. These Aus players have played so much in India that it is literally their 2nd home.

I am just waiting for Maxi. He is more dangerous than anyone on this pitch.

 

[Kianig89]

Unfortunately there is no coming back for Pakistan

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Going to make 228 run loss vs India look like a close game.

250+ loss

 

[mominsaigol]

I told you last year when your head was in the clouds that this would all backfire spectacularly. I still haven't forgotten you telling everyone who disagreed with your view "it's like teaching calculus to a 5 year old".

If only you had realised that Pakistan didn't warrant a place in the WT20 final last year this wouldn't hurt so much. We played horrible cricket for half of the tournament because Pakistan are an awful white ball cricket team.

Tis alas cloud 9 feels good, no one wants to wake up to reality.

 

[adi_62941]

Rizwan should take over field placement now

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Sensing a wicket from This over from Ifti

 

[Kriketer]

Going away for plenty happens on bad days, but Babar's mind boggling captaincy remains consistent.

 

[kron]

He has tamed so many beasts in IPL on this ground.

Ipl is not world cricket though my dude. Chahal canr bat or field either. Very mediocre player.

 

[IAJ]

Ruined what could be a maiden

 

[castortroy]

Also Warner was looking so rusty and a batsman who's clearly in decline. There's no way he should be scoring runs like this.

Also does v pak

 

[Sidilicious]

Finally an over without a boundary, after 10 overs.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Excellent over from Ifti Chacha

 

[Kianig89]

We have become an embarrassment Micky Arhtur I wonder what is he upto somebody cut him to his size there is no absolutely no planning

 

[IAJ]

Watson doing his best to help Pak here, but the poor players not helping him at all

 

[adi_62941]

I am watching star sports Hindi. And these indian Hindi commentators are clearly enjoying our performance.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally an over with just one given after like 15 overs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Worth remembering that high pace is useless here unless allied to accuracy here. '96 Waqar half vollies come to mind.

sometimes underestimated, 'dimaag' bhi chahiye

 

[Champ_Pal]

I am just waiting for Maxi. He is more dangerous than anyone on this pitch.

If Aus do not lose any wicket until 30th over, it is worth sending Maxwell at 1 down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should just get some quiet overs. Wickets will follow. That means good bowling from both ends

 

[emranabbas]

Nawajoo here

 

[ex-q-zit]

Its unfair to us that we are playing Australia on this pitch and will play Afghanistan on the Chennai pitch

Was valid objection which Management raised to ICC but got no support even from own fans and media

Now what's the point of crying?

Why didn't you complain when you played Zimbabwe on a bouncy Perth pitch (though you lost to them too) and not Souith Africa. Also you got to play semis on a Sydney pitch which had sub continent conditions. When the schedule suits you everything is rosy else the whole world conspires against you. Pakistan is the least travelling team in this world cup. They played both their warm-ups and 1st 2 matches on the same ground. Yet complains galore.

 

[Stumper]

Pakistan batsman will also break one record, which they have created today (To hit a six in power play after more then1000 balls )

 

[kumjsr]

I am watching star sports Hindi. And these indian Hindi commentators are clearly enjoying our performance.

Who isn't enjoying this batting? 8 sixes already. That's box office stuff.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pakistan opted to bowl first knowing full well that the score can easily breach 350+

I will take 350 here, maybe even 360, this going well over 400

 

[Devadwal]

Who would have thought ChaCha is bowling better than Pakistan main bowlers

 

[Mockingbird]

Its unfair to us that we are playing Australia on this pitch and will play Afghanistan on the Chennai pitch

Was valid objection which Management raised to ICC but got no support even from own fans and media

Now what's the point of crying?

There is no end to Pakistan whinging. No team complains about a pitch before a match- Australia never complained when they played us in Chennai nor did we ask to reschedule when we have to play NZ in Dharamshala. You need to be good enough to win on all pitches to win the WC, not cherry pick your own!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I am watching star sports Hindi. And these indian Hindi commentators are clearly enjoying our performance.

All of them are supremely annoying....and i am indian...i share your pain m8

 

[Itachi]

Well tbh, our job was to not let India win the world cup, and this match will give Australia the much needed confidence and boost.

What a positive outlook. Hats off man.

 

[kron]

Dont compare bumrah with your garbage bowlers

First have one bowler averaging under 25 in tests and odi by the time their career ends then open your big mouth.

Not one single past indian fast bowler averages under 25 in tests or odi. Bumrah and shami are on their way. Not there yet
Their careers are still in progress.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Aus do not lose any wicket until 30th over, it is worth sending Maxwell at 1 down.

Entire crowd is waiting for Maxwell. He is brutal on this ground

 

[Omer2002]

Finally an over with just one given after like 15 overs.

Thats how chacha shud have bowled all along ..wicket to wicket..i mean even now his figures are better than osama but he has been poor then again everybody has

 

[Asad T]

No big deal, we can chase it

 

[kron]

he made a strong comebcak in last 5 overs thouh.

He did. But if bumrah can get hit then our bowlers getting hit shouldn't be a surprise.

Aus bowlers aren't that great either. They can be hit. Not sure if we can but we will try.

 

[rpant_gabba]

Hope they are playing dil dil Pakistan. I would if I was the DJ

 

[AAli98]

Pak bat 1st or 2nd they ain’t scoring over 260 unless that patthyrana guys bowling his 5wides per over

 

[160KPH]

First have one bowler averaging under 25 in tests and odi by the time their career ends then open your big mouth.

Not one single past indian fast bowler averages under 25 in tests or odi. Bumrah and shami are on their way. Not there yet
Their careers are still in progress.

Poor Indian fans haven’t won a tournament in over a decade, they’re desperate for anything they can get at this point

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Dint bumrah get tonked in this type of pitch vs Aussies in 3rd odi prior to WC?

No, That was Rajkot venue ,World Cup grounds weren't used in that match ,it was rare bad match still he did great in last 5 overs gave just 30 runs took 3 wickets.

 

[7sins]

Indians are making fun of mickey dil dil pakistan statements on cricinfo

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wonder, what he is thinking right now View attachment 137926

Am pretty sure it was in 2019 Wc ind vs pak, happened when pak fielder on boundary dropped hitman....and camera panned to this bald dude...

 

[Devadwal]

Keep the pressure on , wickets is coming
