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

[Shafi]

Actually Babar has an issue with Afridi and trying to take revenge by not allowing him to ball!!

 

[emranabbas]

Need to keep m wasim at one end

 

[Thephenom]

One of the worst captains of all time and not just of Pakistan, and he’ll spout the same old tired excuses in the post match interviews

 

[castortroy]

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

He is just a poor captain.

He applies zero pressure in the middle of the innings with his field placements

What issue? I thought they were friends.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Happy for all those holding calculators and carving out if then scenarios for Pakistan qualification to semis. Now they can all focus on important things in life

 

[mominsaigol]

Ngl misbah or sarfraz would have defended this total even with this attack.

The problem is babar isn't placing field settings well or motivating bowlers, he's just standing their and Pakistan is trying to rely on luck to take wickets.

Our clueless captain still thinks 50 over quota must be complete as if South Africa plans to take the game deep lol

Seems like babar has an issue with afridi mo wasim and chscha ifti

 

[KhanNn]

Been saying it for a while, bring in Mohammed Wasim Junior. Yes he may go for runs but her gets wickets

 

[topspin]

Babar is without a doubt the worst captain in this WC.

 

[AAli98]

Shaheen deliberately underperforming strict instructions from father in law who is full on lobbying in media for him to become captain!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yeah and just shouting "shawa shawa" i have heard that many times

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why there is no attempt to reverse. Can shaheen reverse the ball like AKram?

 

[globetrotter]

Pak have chance till 240 as SA can choke anytime

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Why there is no attempt to reverse. Can shaheen reverse the ball like AKram?

doubt it ..... he was class.

 

[castortroy]

Afridi bowling without a slip

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Common Shaheen give us a wicket..
Give us tournament's first thriller

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

No real threat in bowling i don't know what happened to shaheen..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very erratic bowling so far. I think he is left arm version of Shardul T hakur. Bowls random deliveries in between picks up a wicket.

 

[Asif321]

Common yaar get wickets . World Cup hope hangs here

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 191/4 (30 overs).

It is now a T20 game.

80 runs are needed from 20 overs.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

In this match Babar's captaincy has been poor

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen bowling between 134-136k's. Not quick enough to get wickets. He needs a long break after WC and fully recover from any niggles he has.

 

[JaDed]

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

I thought it was Markham. It is actually Markram.

The Canadian in you lol, EAST GTA will be proud lol

 

[Sunzi]

Manjrekar and Shastri describing SSA's fast bowling obituary.

Another Pak quick finished before peaking

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markram will resume his b attle with Rauf

 

[sweep_shot]

Common Shaheen give us a wicket..
Give us tournament's first thriller

This tournament mostly has had boring games. But, there were a few good ones:

SA vs Netherlands
India vs NZ
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ooooooo just short

 

[The_KING]

In this match Babar's captaincy has been poor

When has it ever been good?

 

[castortroy]

No real threat in bowling i don't know what happened to shaheen..

Very very overrated

Jansen looks like a bowler with so much more potential

 

[AAli98]

These last 3 odis might be paks last odis ever.. none scheduled for another year or so.. knowing pak players greed mentality theyr going to go the windies rout play t20s.

 

[sweep_shot]

Very very overrated

Jansen looks like a bowler with so much more potential

Shaheen hasn't been the same since returning from injury.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Manjrekar and Shastri describing SSA's fast bowling obituary.

Another Pak quick finished before peaking

He seems to be going Junaid Khan's way. A great start and injuries derail the progress.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Jao yaar rauf tape ball khelo

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wicket here will be fun ...

 

[Sunzi]

He seems to be going Junaid Khan's way. A great start and injuries derail the progress.

Yep, another done before peaking.

 

[globetrotter]

SSA’s bad days started in Asia cup when India’s average batsman K L Rahul sweeps him for 4

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bowl a yorker b uddy

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Haris has bowled beautifully today, but been bit unlucky.

 

[m.shah]

Still no slip

 

[JaDed]

Another Pak quick finished before peaking

Naw he is here to stay but needs to evolve ,a problem with Pakistani batsmen usually has become an issue with your bowlers too now.

Wahab,Hassan Ali, Junaid Khan, mohammad Abbas

 

[rhony]

Good over by Rauf. Three false strokes. Pak needs a bit of luck

 

[sweep_shot]

SA need 77 more to win.

RRR is about 4. They can win just by taking singles.

Pakistan need wickets.

 

[karthikc]

That Afghanistan game was the death knell for Pakistan in this tournament

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No luck at all either.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Even luck is not our side, falling short lol

 

[JaDed]

This tournament mostly has had boring games. But, there were a few good ones:

SA vs Netherlands
India vs NZ
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka

Afg vs Pakistan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Missed run out chance

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on yaar ..... fight.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Both teams trying hard to choke
Markram looking in pressure

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Both teams trying hard to choke
Markram looking in pressure

I hope he gets out right now.

 

[Ali Active]

yarr

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar you are not a physio - Mark Nicholas

 

[Devadwal]

So drama start

 

[sweep_shot]

Waseem is down.

Can he bowl further?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Plz SA choke choke choke

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Missed run out chance

That's 2nd one. Pak being very unlucky today.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afg vs Pakistan

Yes. I forgot to add that.

Afghanistan vs England was good also.

 

[The_KING]

This defeat is on Babar. Poor captain and overrated batsman.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yarr

Wishes we have .....

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That's 2nd one. Pak being very unlucky today.

WC no luck since 1999

 

[Ali Active]

choke please Sa u have a history

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Wasim was overbowled clearly. It was something waiting to happen

 

[hassan918]

Another chance for Pakistan to run out a batsman and Wasim missed it again.

 

[sweep_shot]

75 runs are needed from 112 balls.

 

[Thephenom]

I’m sick of Rizwan joking around with the opposition when Pakistan are getting beat, instead of concentrating on the game and trying to win!

 

[Marooned]

300 was very achievable here. We didn't even play out our 50 overs. We played some 40 overs vs india earlier.

 

[Sunzi]

We have the most cramps and injuries. These unfit, mutton munching, cake chomping amateurs are a disgrace.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

We always go till last match to drop out of the tournament and believe that we had a chance. at least give us that boys, get them out.

 

[rhony]

I think Wasim was overbowled clearly. It was something waiting to happen

No match practice. Incredible effort with those snorters. Chepauk heat and humidity. He's human

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

We are loosing guys

 

[FearlessRoar]

Four

 

[imshally81]

M wasim should bowl now..

 

[Devadwal]

We are loosing guys

Still anyone game if Pakistan take 1-2 wickets .apne ghabrana nahi h

 

[Ali Active]

Pak have only played with intent today where was this intent in all the games

 

[AAli98]

The World Cup campaign was over when I seen the team cut a cake winning against the Dutch.. even Kenya wouldn’t stoop that low

 

[FearlessRoar]

Afridi in this Spell

Speed is Very Low

He bowls 130 KPH

 

[sweep_shot]

Four from Markham.

Great shot.

 

[emranabbas]

darpok type of captaincy by babar azam
why is he targeting to play 50 overs go aggressive take wickets

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What the hell is this man, who the hell put this guy at point?
