ICC World Cup 2023: Heartbreak for Pakistan (270) as South Africa (271/9) win Match 26 by 1 wicket

[tauseef_mahmood]

under 100 chase.

it is 100% a wickets game now.

 

[owenhcricket]

Captain Clueless has no clue yet again...he's bowled Usama Mir for at least 3 too many overs and he has been whalloped. Shaheen should have been on when SA were 150 odd for 4. Game over now, no way SA can lose wih less than 100 needed.

 

[Devadwal]

Looking for wickets but no slip .this is poor Captioncy by Babar

 

[Ahmed216]

No slip

When they need wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

Edge and four.

A slip could've caught it.

 

[Thanos]

How many controversial LBW umpire gave on behalf of Pakistan?

Doesn't matter how many. Watching it live on tv and for RVD it clearly displayed missing wickets for a split second before they changed it to ump's call.

Anyway I don't care whether Pak or SA wins. Just enjoying an interesting game.

 

[Savak]

Sums up Babar's Panoti captaincy. He knows Wasim Jr is troubling Miller and he doesn't have a slip in. Please drop him from the team for a while

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Babar should set a fielder in slips. He should go for a kill here

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another one soon.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

We need wickets so why no slip?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Will shaheen bowl today again??

 

[shariqnoor]

Lol at win predictor showing Pakistan at 52%.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Babar should set a fielder in slips. He should go for a kill here

our captains are always scared of slips. i dont know why?

 

[Devadwal]

Just over slip

 

[pratiktc]

Match is gone.
But it will be only fair if Miller gets out to wasim

 

[7sins]

Patethic captaincy by babar the choker

 

[amvbfm]

You CANNOT win defending 4 per over. Where is the slip? Bring back your best bowlers with attacking fields. Go down fighting at least.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Too many boundaries you cannot afford that.

 

[Energy]

Never seen chacha take any catch in slips. Why is he standing there?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Miller is batting like S afridi lol

 

[rhony]

Very unlucky Wasim. He's been bowling his heart out.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Too easy for RSA. They are cruising

 

[castortroy]

This is modern day batting

Lose wickets but you still attack

 

[sweep_shot]

Another four.

SA - 180/4 (28 overs).

91 runs are needed from 132 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Never seen chacha take any catch in slips. Why is he standing like a buffoon there?

I think he pulled off a blinder in world T20. Rohit sharma catch.

 

[Buffet]

Lol at win predictor showing Pakistan at 52%.

Nah, they know SA batting.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

That's the match right there folks

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Miller is batting like S afridi lol

so he will get out soon.

 

[castortroy]

Chacha will get smashed here

 

[imshally81]

Very difficult for PAKISTAN..

 

[NeVerMind]

Never seen chacha take any catch in slips. Why is he standing like a buffoon there?

At his age, knees not what they used to be...

 

[Devadwal]

South Africa can't win the world cup with this bazball approach .they can win today but not in knockout game

 

[battler]

Wasim has really bowled well today. Has really bend his back. Unlucky to not get Miller

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Again no shaheen????

 

[jnaveen1980]

Miller is riding on his luck

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope a wicket comes this over. SA is on rampage right now.

 

[Energy]

It's a 40 over match and Babar is saving Shaheen for the last 10 overs.

 

[castortroy]

Six incoming

 

[Ahmed216]

Mutton biryani has had the opposite effect on Wasim Jr. He's bowled with heart

 

[owenhcricket]

Ifty is bowling now!!!

Seriously there has to be someone who is out there to guide Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen?? Someone or are they all letting him sink??

Wheres Shaheen putting his hand up to bowl? Or Rauf?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Perfect opportunity for Shaheen to change the match , just needs to take a couple of wickets .
Lets see who delivers from Pakistan

 

[Buffet]

Why not bowl Shaheen? Match is not going to last 50 overs.

 

[7sins]

Babar a nothing captain and player

 

[hassan918]

Mohammad Rizwan with some fun moment in the match with Markram.

Lol at win predictor showing Pakistan at 52%.

It will show 99% if Miller get out

 

[castortroy]

Six incoming

Did call it

 

[Energy]

Easy six yet again. Shambolic captaincy and bowling.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Yaar ......

 

[Shafi]

Just stop it. Easy for SA

Most of Indian fans are trolls here. Spamming useless comments

 

[shariqnoor]

I would love to see SA win this World Cup. It could be one of the most dominant displays ever seen. They have annihilated bowling attacks.

 

[Ali Active]

please wickets nowwww

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Babar is lost again. Where the hell is shaheen?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Did call it

May be if you called for a wicket ...

 

[Energy]

Babar thought he will sneak an over from Ifti. It's a kitten's thinking.

 

[MSaad1237]

SA dealing in sixes.

 

[sweep_shot]

Drinks break.

83 runs are needed from 21 overs.

 

[Ali Active]

I would love to see SA win this World Cup. It could be one of the most dominant displays ever seen. They have annihilated bowling attacks.

they might win today but they are not winning anything chasing in knockouts

 

[Ahmed216]

I would love to see SA win this World Cup. It could be one of the most dominant displays ever seen. They have annihilated bowling attacks.

Very unlikely. They are bound to choke

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Yaaaaar
Bring shaheen
Wth is wrong with this guy.
He just let's them win
He always cares about finishing the quota of spin.

 

[m.shah]

Bowling is made looking bad by worst captain

 

[SportsWarrior]

Babar is a poor captain.. why is he bowling Ifti now. forget about getting overs done. This match will be done before 45 overs either way. Get Shaheen and look for wickets.. there is a fast bowler doing well from other end.. why not from here?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure if Babar is thinking this as a 50 over game still? Is he reserving Shaheen for death overs?

 

[Energy]

I would love to see SA win this World Cup. It could be one of the most dominant displays ever seen. They have annihilated bowling attacks.

They will crumble against India. Crumble to pieces.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We were 60 short

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

NL captain had better field placements than babar.

 

[Mainul]

SA is winning. And winning in style. This will put their confidence on another level. They are strong contender of World cup.
I shall not be unhappy if Pakistan win though. Any result will do for me.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Mamoon will be happy ..... 50 runs partnership for SA. we really let it slip.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Match is in critical stage and this clueless captain giving bowling to part timers instead of attacking with his wicket takers.

Even we viewers have more common sense than Babar.

 

[sweep_shot]

RRR is now 3.95.

 

[hassan918]

Babar Azam has all the options available in terms of the bowlers. Should he bring Shaheen for another spell?

 

[7sins]

Loving the phainty from Sa

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Seriously, babar have really big issues in game awareness. For gods sake, for what you are saving your upfront bowlers for?

 

[Thephenom]

Our spinners bowling like a bunch of youngsters just bowling to senior pros in the nets!

 

[m.shah]

Poor captaincy as usual

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shaheen is on
Its too late

 

[globetrotter]

Babar should have brought SSA immediately after klaasen wkt, he isn’t happy with SSA?

 

[Suleiman]

Babar please give up captaincy. You’re not cut out for it at all. Just focus on your batting

 

[sweep_shot]

I have been writing Markram's name wrong all these years.

I thought it was Markham. It is actually Markram.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen must bowl one of those spells here if Pakistan are to win.

 

[Mockingbird]

I was always skeptical of ‘win toss, bat first plan’ and ‘SA chokes chasing’ knowing that Chennai pitch does get better to bat under lights.
