[sweep_shot]

300 is up.

 

[dravidthewall]

Rauf came rauf gone out of the stadium

 

[Ahmed216]

A combined total of 4 wickets in 10 innings for Shadab and Nawaz

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Spot on and Jos Buttler survives!

View attachment 138998

This should have been taken. He had time to throw the ball in the air , but his lack of awareness cost Pakistan another missed chance

 

[mominsaigol]

A combined total of 4 wickets in 10 innings for Shadab and Nawaz

Remember they are our match winners

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Anything above 275 , Pakistan was never going to chase. England has already won this game

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

2003 made it to qf, reckon the same in 2015

When you don't make it to kos it's been a poor campaign

Playing QF is not a big deal, you need check the rank out of 8 teams who qualify for QF. In 2015 we were ranked 6th which is worst than 2019 and 2023.

In 2003 we didn't qualify QF, infact there was no QF, it was super 6 which we couldn't qualify.

 

[castortroy]

Such a unprofessional outfit this pak team is

 

[batandballbattle]

Brook goes after a quick cameo

 

[RehanG]

They don't look interested anymore.
Atleast finish well

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. This is really poor cricket from England. Buttler looked slow while running

 

[RidiculousMan]

Now we know why batters are hesitant to take on a bowler's arm.

 

[rhony]

Pak keeping Emgland in check. Key will be Rashid during the chase. Ball will turn

 

[rhony]

Lol. This is really poor cricket from England. Buttler looked slow while running

That was an insane throw. Single was on. These are death overs

 

[soso_killer]

Pak dressing room culture is so toxic that has been breeding player politics and power

Such a shame to be honest

 

[sweep_shot]

England - 316/6 (48 overs).

England are looking good for 330-340.

 

[Markhor]

Remember they are our match winners

For the opposition.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That was an insane throw. Single was on. These are death overs

Slow to decide to run. He took quite a bit of time to even attempt the run

 

[adi_62941]

Amazed to see buttler missing a good innings against pakistan. He always loves to smash pak bowlers. He really underperformed in this wc

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Looking forward to fakhar innings

 

[batandballbattle]

Ali signs off in ODI batting without much fanfare. Will have a part to play with the ball on a 2nd innings pitch

 

[nish_mate]

Playing QF is not a big deal, you need check the rank out of 8 teams who qualify for QF. In 2015 we were ranked 6th which is worst than 2019 and 2023.

In 2003 we didn't qualify QF, infact there was no QF, it was super 6 which we couldn't qualify.

Thanks for the correction on 2003, for some reason I had it as a KO.

Playing a KO means you have made it out of the league group and been consistent enough to get to knock outs and then in KO its a matter of better team on the day (unless you are 99-2007 OZ).

2015 was in Oz with a really rubbish PCT, no spark, no magic, no superstars (Afridi was over the hill by then).

2019 PCT was on the tail of 2017 CT and that squad had some up and coming stars.

Dont think anyone on PP had any expectations from 2015 squad

 

[Rana]

England are 60/70 runs above par on this wicket

 

[Nado_]

A combined total of 4 wickets in 10 innings for Shadab and Nawaz

This is the main reason for our World Cup downfall

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf gets Moeen.

His third wicket of the match.

 

[Nado_]

Anything above 275 , Pakistan was never going to chase. England has already won this game

Why what’s wrong with the pitch , just tuned in

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even in a match with no pressure and others are finding form , Moeen gets out to a straight ball.

 

[batandballbattle]

This is ridiculous. Don't they have spare zinger bails somewhere?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

He bowled first 4 ball around 120-125kph, and took wicket as well. Last 2 ball were over 147kph, and got hammered for boundary. This guy will never learn.

 

[rhony]

Tough to chase under lights at Eden. Ball will swing for 10 overs then turn for 40. Pak needs to bat very well to chase this down

 

[sweep_shot]

Four and six.

England go past 330.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Just bowl slower ball you idiot.

 

[batandballbattle]

getting tonked by willey

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Tough to chase under lights at Eden. Ball will swing for 10 overs then turn for 40. Pak needs to bat very well to chase this down

How difficult is to understand slower balls are most difficult balls to play ?

 

[nish_mate]

Willey...Willey.. Willey
rub it in lad

to ECB that is....

 

[RidiculousMan]

Willey should always bat ahead of Woakes. Never understood this

 

[sweep_shot]

Expensive over for Pakistan.

ENG - 336/7 (49.3 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Willey is out.

336/8.

 

[AAli98]

Engs Willy penetrating Pak

 

[RyanRyan10]

Wasim Jr on a hattrick

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I always get confused between Willey and Edge from WWE

 

[IndoorCricket]

Thats pace!

 

[shah_1]

Wasim Jr should be given more chances after this WC. Needs to work on his new ball skills

 

[mominsaigol]

I always get confused between Willey and Edge from WWE

The rated R cricket star

 

[sweep_shot]

England finish at 337/9 after 50 overs.

Pakistan need 338 to win.

 

[emranabbas]

What should have been played in the last 10 overs should have been played in the first 10 overs

 

[nish_mate]

Engs Willy penetrating Pak

Willey caught by protection

 

[batandballbattle]

Taken wickets in the last 10 but still expensive. Going to need another fakhar special here.

 

[MenInG]

ENG 337/9 (50) CRR: 6.74

Tough challenge but doable for sure - need another FZ special

 

[Fazzy321]

What’s the point of taking wickets when the score is already 300? Neither we have fast bowlers nor spinners

 

[shah9425]

It wasn't that the bowling line up was much better just that the man leading them was remarkable

That's why he was kicked out of team rightfully

 

[RidiculousMan]

England got 97 runs in the last 10 overs. Job well done England.

Will require some batting performance to chase this down.

 

[mominsaigol]

ENG 337/9 (50) CRR: 6.74

Tough challenge but doable for sure - need another FZ special

Well chase this in 7 overs watch. 6 galore and no ball galore

 

[shah9425]

Rizwan would be lucky to survive 10 balls on this pitch. His final innings won't be a memorable one

Sarfraz bro you are not coming back still

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should be a tough chase at Eden given the history of matches here.

338 would be a record chase here.

 

[Josh]

Let's go Pak team chase this down in 38 balls

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Well, its all set up for an intresting chase.

I'm backing FZ to go bananas in the first PP

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Am I the only one who feels Pakistan are mentally fatigued to play this game? I am getting impression that they just want to catch their return flight and go back home.

 

[Thanos]

Wish Pak had won the toss and opted batting first. Pak still couldn't qualify but Pak batters approach could've been interesting.

 

[Thephenom]

Going to have to put the pacers under pressure and put on 80/90 without loss in the first 7/8 overs

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Babar mentioned yesterday if Fakhar scores we have a chance. My question is if Fakhar is so important then why he was not playing earlier? Imam ul haq costed NRR
