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

[160KPH]

You gotta think South Africa is under a lot of pressure too. They lost to Netherlands and they still have some matches with really good teams coming up. We gotta just keep applying the pressure, they will break.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Man can't build pressure

 

[oatmeal]

Nawaz is releasing all the pressure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Commie says "Vintage Temba Bavuma" like she is talking about VIv Richards lol

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another wicket ... should come now

 

[7sins]

These are not spinners they are at best part timer good for t20s 3-4 overs

 

[JattMaula]

Temba on

 

[160KPH]

Feels like people forget some of the amazing innings Bavuma’s played just cause he’s been in bad form recently. He can also win the game for them if he gets going.

 

[Energy]

Nawaz is such a gentle non threatening bowler.

 

[Sunzi]

Nawaz is bowling too straight. Just bowl line and length.

 

[Sunzi]

Good shot by Bavuma.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

See we can't hit boundaries in the first 10

 

[oatmeal]

Bavuma has always struggled when I watched him, but his ODI avg is 50. how

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wickets wickets wickets ...

 

[battler]

lol Nawaz is a really crappy spinner. No turn no bite. Just floating the ball like a laddu

 

[vodafone_lover]

What a foolish bowler he is

 

[Mainul]

Still SA is mighty favorite to win this. Pakistani spin bowling is mighty weak. I shall rate Bangladesh spin more than Pakistan. That is the first time this has happened that our spin is stronger than Pakistan. That's weird

 

[castortroy]

Comical bowling attack

 

[shah_1]

Nawaz is another talentless hack backed by Babar Azam

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan is in the World Cup to get people in form. Temba will score a 100 here.

Watch England batsmen who have been abysmal absolutely smash Pakistan.

 

[hitthestump]

Nawaz is one of the biggest reasons that Babar has lost his captaincy.

Babar picked him over his enemy and now he’s paying the price.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bring pace in now .... spinners need to be world class or pitch needs to be really good for spinners.

 

[Savak]

Lol only Pakistan can make Bawuma look world class

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more wickets before 120 now

 

[Abraham786]

Opponent Captain To Nawaz: Hello Nawaz
Nawaz : Yes ,what?

Opponent Captain: Suno Nawaz Tu Mera match winner hai

 

[shariqnoor]

My school team in the 90s wouldn't get out to Nawaz.

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 53/1 (7.2 overs).

Pakistan need wickets.

 

[nish_mate]

Bavuma has always struggled when I watched him, but his ODI avg is 50. how

Bit like Babar innit

 

[mazkhan]

This whole bowling unit is shot

Even if we scored 350 , South africa would have chased it there's no xfactor in our bowling attack it looks pretty toothless and club level

 

[viking2559]

Temba bavuma is a very good odi batsman he has strike rate of 90 and average of 50 in ODIs. People can make fun of him all they want but he is a very good odi player.

 

[160KPH]

Lol only Pakistan can make Bawuma look world class

Earlier this year he scored 3 centuries in 7 innings and he averages 50 @ 90 SR for his career. I just don’t get the extreme underestimating him.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bavuma has always struggled when I watched him, but his ODI avg is 50. how

He is okay for ODI. Accumulator.

Not good for T20 though.

 

[viking2559]

Temba bavuma is showing his class.
Very good player

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen reminds me of Shardul Thakur. Doesn't bowl consistently and gets wickets somehow.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

lets see what he does now?

 

[aukhan]

Bavuma

 

[Abraham786]

Feels like people forget some of the amazing innings Bavuma’s played just cause he’s been in bad form recently. He can also win the game for them if he gets going.

Bit like Babar innit

Watch his strokes playing beautiful ,Why unnecessary trolling and his far better than Babar Azam.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yaar ... we reallly need to win this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There was one warm up match wehere RVD absolutely demolished Haris Rauf. Let us see how he goes

 

[shah_1]

Nawaz is one of the biggest reasons that Babar has lost his captaincy.

Babar picked him over his enemy and now he’s paying the price.

We needed a front line spinner. Should have given any front spinner that has performed well in FC cricket and white ball cricket. e.g Abrar Ahmed

Imad is ideal no 7, a good defensive bowler, he can not perform a role of attacking bowler.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope he does well today.

 

[160KPH]

Hope Rauf redeems himself. I like this guy a lot even though he’s a very inconsistent bowler with the newer ball.

 

[MMHS]

Still better - Cricinfo writer just compared his batting with Lata Mungeshkar’s evergreen melodies.

Commie says "Vintage Temba Bavuma" like she is talking about VIv Richards lol

 

[vodafone_lover]

Aa gaya pitokra, ab dekho iski khatarnaak bowling

 

[Sunzi]

Oh God. Rauf.

 

[jnaveen1980]

THis pitch has bounce Rauf can make use of.

 

[Devadwal]

Who is most happiest team if South Africa won the game ?
I think Australia as semifinals team are almost confirmed with a South Africa win

 

[viking2559]

No century for haris today but he can score fast fifty here.

 

[shah_1]

Haris Rauf has straightway been shown his aukaat

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha Bavuma. Six

 

[castortroy]

270 against this bowling attack was never enough.

Probably 80 runs short here

 

[aukhan]

Khassi Rauf leaking runs again.

 

[vodafone_lover]

Ho gayi shuruaat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bavuma just loves Rauf. He thrashed Haris rauf at the SCG in world T20

 

[dravidthewall]

Lol bavuma six to rauf

 

[viking2559]

Temba bavuma is very good player

 

[oatmeal]

Rauf is poor upfront,

 

[jnaveen1980]

six inside power play by Bavuma

 

[pratiktc]

Wth man, Rauf getting hit by Bavuma also

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Shaheen Afridi and Rauf ( his buddy from LQ) have deliberated under performed . Lot of politics destroying our team

 

[aukhan]

Why the hell do we keep on playing Rauf?

 

[castortroy]

As expected, the ball is skidding on nicely under lights.

Another shocker with babar and the toss

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rauf is poor upfront,

Remove "upfront"

 

[viking2559]

40-50 runs short here

 

[Sunzi]

Does Rauf have no shame.

He comes up and just gets smashed with disdain.

 

[shah_1]

Who is most happiest team if South Africa won the game ?
I think Australia as semifinals team are almost confirmed with a South Africa win

Confirmed

 

[The_KING]

Rauf is completely awful.

 

[sweep_shot]

SA need 205 more runs from 41 overs.

 

[MMHS]

SAF had only one weak link in their lineup - looks like PAK bowlers are in a mission to bring him into confidence as well.

 

[Sunzi]

I don't know where we are gonna get wickets from. How did we get so bad.

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Thrashing is being dealt out already

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SAF had only one weak link in their lineup - looks like PAK bowlers are in a mission to bring him into confidence as well.

That's what we are lumber 1 at

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

SAF had only one weak link in their lineup - looks like PAK bowlers are in a mission to bring him into confidence as well.

he has an avergae of 50 runs ....... come on.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

It's a matter of 1 wkt, SA will choke

 

[viking2559]

Lol mohd Wasim jnr. Hahahah. He is gonna get smashed

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I don't know where we are gonna get wickets from. How did we get so bad.

Been happening since Babar was made captain

 

[sweep_shot]

Bavuma is doing good.

28 from 26.

I thought Shaheen would get him. He negotiated Shaheen well.

 

[aukhan]

Pakistan's top 3 and bowling unit have cost us this World Cup.

 

[castortroy]

It's been such a gutless wc performance by this babar led team.

Cant play spin, can't play short balls, can't score more than 280 on flat tracks and the most concerning, they can't bowl

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Bavuma of all people smashing six on Rauf. What a downward spiral Rauf career is falling into.
