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

Again didn't play 50 overs, but Babar hit his 50 so all his well. Glad I didn't sacrifice my sleep for this team. Now if SA, Ind, NZ, Aus and Afg withdraw from WC, not only we qualify for Semis we win the WC
Don't blame Babar. He helped me in my fantasy league.
 
Last game Jadeja was tested against BD.
Kishan and Pandya were tested against Pakistan in first game in Asia cup.
Rahul against Aus in first game and Pakistan in second Asia cup game
Rohit and gill in all other games
Kohli well no one wants to test him no more
only SKY is untested in last 8 games. Who knows in knockout he may be MoM.

Aur kitna testing karna hai.
In end if they collapse in final game no amount of pretesting can resolve it, as every new day ....is a new test.

Babar and co tested themselves against NZ é Aus é Eng in last 1 year and scored and chased 300+ regularly. What was end resultÉ

Its the match day performance that counts. A rookie can win a game on his day and a veteran can fail at same time.

Haris Rauf should retire from ODIs gracefully from Kohli to Warner to Rohit to Markarm he has been an embarrassment for us, guess what Chapman Ravindra and Buttler might also join the party
Wood has been smashed even worse. Is he too a trash bowler?
 
SA major weakness is death bowling. It was pathetic on Pak's part to get out with 4 overs left. Nawaz n co should have added 30 more. 300+ target on board adds different pressure on team chasing.
 
Why is Nawaz still bowling? Bring in Shaheen or Wasim. What is the chance Nawaz will take a wicket? They will just milk him for easy singles. We can’t win by defending these runs we need wickets and at least 2 of them immediately or this game is over.

Has nawaz even taken a wicket this tournament? I genuinely can't recall a single match with a wicket in his name this cup

Well if they are collapsing repeatedly in crunch situations in ICC tourneys, something is not right despite performances in some earlier matchs. This was the case in 2019 WC too where the both top and middle order collapsed at worst possible moment.

As you go deeper in the tournament, there is no margin for error.
 
This field is atrocious. Even the guys in the circle are on the edge of it, and not close up, trying to stop the singles. SA just milking runs.
 
They genuinely love and respect him too
They do, just pointing out- , funny in a way. Reminded me of school monitor in 11th grade and later school captain, all of us 5'9 se 6 footiye and our monitor/captain was 5'2 footiya. Lambuoon main bauna raja
 
Going down leg comfortably on initial impressions.

Reiffel's finger went up incredibly quickly.

Just needs to clip. Please.
 
It may be Usama's day today. His inclusion may be a blessing in disguise. 1 more wicket and the South africans will panic.
 
What a pathetic decision. The umpire should be held accountable.
 
lucky lucky wicket, looked to be one that wouldn't be given out on field due to how much it was sliding down
pressure on now boys cmon
 
If this had gone the other way, the little weird snag that happened when the tracker briefly appeared then vanished, would have been read a lot differently :ajmal2
 
What happened to DRS at first instance? It appeared as they played it in reverse which showed missing stumps
