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

[GLORY OF '92]

SA Will win in 35 or less

 

[kron]

Dear lord.

 

[Sunzi]

Just bowling pure filth.

 

[NeVerMind]

Why did babar bat first?

Makes no sence when you have a bowling attack that is unable to defend totals

Then the same attack would have leaked 400 runs...can't win matches with an awful bowling attack

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen has lost his magic. He is bowling like Unadkat on a bad day.

 

[angrypathan]

4 fours and a wide to start off lol

 

[globetrotter]

Is it T20 going on?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chacha looks better than Shaheen lol

 

[Buffet]

Great going Quinton. Do it for 15 overs and have a lot less to chase for others.

 

[kron]

What is wrong with ssa fgs

 

[Mockingbird]

Now it’s 240 runs target in 48 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Flying start.

SA - 30/0 (2 overs).

 

[aukhan]

What a great start this is for SA. Overrated Shaheen has been taken to the cleaners.

 

[oatmeal]

Required rate already below 5. You need a wicket in next 2-3 overs.

 

[ahmed16]

Shaheen is no Mohammad Amir

 

[GLORY OF '92]

When we bat boundaries are painful to get.

When we bowl, opponents only deal in boundaries against us.

That's been happening since 2018in white ball cricket

 

[Buffet]

240 runs left.

 

[kron]

138 to 140 but no effect.

Will babar play him again?

 

[Ahmed216]

Mir Hamza >>>>>> Shaheen

Fully agree

 

[AMSS]

As I was saying, this is a 350+ wicket.

Probably the flattest, truest track in this WC.

 

[NeVerMind]

why cant we open with haris?

You want 30 runs scored off the first over instead?

 

[Sunzi]

Omg. I've only got curses for him. This is so bad.

 

[Lampard]

30 in 2 overs lol. This will be a 25-30 overs chase for SA.

 

[Thanos]

One trick pony has been exposed in this WC big time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan wasted 3.2 overs despite batting depth.

 

[Savak]

Bakwaaas overhyped team led by a Kitten captain.

 

[oatmeal]

As I was saying, this is a 350+ wicket.

Probably the flattest, truest track in this WC.

have you seen Mumbai track, that is a true phatta

 

[Energy]

It's the marriage effect as well. After marriage Shadab Shaheen and Rauf have lost their cricket form badly as they performing elsewhere.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen is no Mohammad Amir

Amir did not bowl this bad even when not getting any wickets.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

We need to get openers in first 5 overs.

they are racing away they will get to 70 in 5 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

QDK's IPL average at chennai is 10 in 7 games.

 

[kron]

How do you stop qdk, klassen ?
These 2 are so dangerous.

 

[Lampard]

SA can win this World Cup. They already choked against Netherlands earlier so that is out of the way.

 

[mominsaigol]

Mir Hamza >>>>>> Shaheen

Who's mir hamza? I've never heard of him before ironically.

 

[Major]

Good over by ifti

 

[jnaveen1980]

Amir did not bowl this bad even when not getting any wickets.

Amir is a great defensive bowler. He has nice change ups. Also fairly accurate.

 

[kron]

QDK's IPL average at chennai is 10 in 7 games.

But we have the best bowling attack the world has ever seen.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It's the marriage effect as well. After marriage Shadab Shaheen and Rauf have lost their cricket form badly as they performing elsewhere.

We need to only play unmarried guys. Simple

 

[AAli98]

U are they forcing these idiots on the ground send em packing !!

 

[Ahmed216]

Superstar Shaheen should be thrown out and asked to work on his basics in domestics

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

pl,aying catch up is not good for us ........ pressure pressure

 

[MMHS]

As I was saying, this is a 350+ wicket.

Probably the flattest, truest track in this WC.

As I said in AFG game also / even 400 won’t be enough if pacers bowl filth with new ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why didn't Pak try Ifti as opening bowler? Could hae been handy.

 

[SalimBhai]

Look terriblw

 

[kron]

Chacha lucky qdk wasn't on strike lol

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan must keep Bavuma on strike for as long as possible. He will put a lot of pressure on the non-striker to score quickly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA bowled 4 no balls 11 wides. That is 2.3 overs extra. 4 free hits.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Who's mir hamza? I've never heard of him before ironically.

Top wicket taker this first class season

Search his name on youtube and you'll see what i am talking about

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Just 1 wicket taking ball so far

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just dazed I guess? Landed awkward. SA hasn't beaten us in a icc event since 1999. Cmon keep it going.

2013 champions trophy.

 

[oatmeal]

That was a good change of pace from Shaheen

 

[Major]

Why didn't Pak try Ifti as opening bowler? Could hae been handy.

What? R u watching the game?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Pakistan must keep Bavuma on strike for as long as possible. He will put a lot of pressure on the non-striker to score quickly.

there is no pressure now.

 

[Abraham786]

Pathetic bowling, can't bowl bowling consistently at good spot.

It's the marriage effect as well. After marriage Shadab Shaheen and Rauf have lost their cricket form badly as they performing elsewhere.

Performing on different pitch

 

[NeVerMind]

Yesssss...de Kock gone!

 

[kron]

2013 champions trophy.

I mean just world cups in t20 and odi. I am not 100% sure. Could be wrong but I am pretty sure even in t20 we haven't lost to them.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Out

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get innings fight boys

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

oh relief ......

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Gineeeeeee

 

[jnaveen1980]

What? R u watching the game?

No i am talking about earlier games

 

[angrypathan]

Well that's one way to get a wicket

 

[msb314]

Gone!!!!

 

[oatmeal]

Gone. This was the breakthrough needed. Now SA will put themselves in pressure

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I was hoping for that.

 

[Asif321]

Lucky wicket

 

[kron]

Yesssss...de Kock gone!

Goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezaaaaaaaaaalooooo higuauinnnnn

 

[Champ_Pal]

Well Shaheen flukes a wicket. QDK could have hit any where.

 

[Buffet]

Now Pakistan is in the game.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Harakiri by De kock.. He picked out the one fielder on the leg side. Opened the gates to the middle order.

 

[Major]

De kock threq his wicket.

 

[oatmeal]

He was lucky to get a wicket of that poor ball. but they all count the same

 

[Usman Chadda]

Horrible shot on a horrible ball lol

 

[MMHS]

Game on!!!!!!

 

[kron]

Fluke wicket lol. I mean great set up haha with positional awareness but that was a sweet as strike. Was going for a 6

 

[Syed1]

See the start SA openers provided and what our duds do specially parchi Imam.

 

[kingusama92]

Never underestimate South Africa's ability to choke.

 

[Sunzi]

Wicket off filth.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good shot to get out to. Few feet either side it would have been a max. SSA getting luck on a nothing delivery.
Good first strike by pak all the same

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

let see how quick they can another one ........ let south africe sweat a little before haris is introduced.
