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

[aukhan]

Impressed with Wasim's effort.
I wonder why Rauf was not rested. He has been abysmal.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Rizwan's fake appealing is frankly disgusting and ICC needs to clamp down on this. Fake appealing should get demerit points.

it is a tactic to add pressure .......

 

[sweep_shot]

150 is up.

SA need 121 more runs to win.

 

[Marooned]

1 more wicket and match over for SA.

20-30 more runs and tournament over for Pakistan

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It is a curse they are not going to beat Pakistan in a world cup in a while.

Lol they should win from here

 

[shariqnoor]

These two will easily chase this.

 

[hassan918]

Wasim is really bending his back and making things happen.

 

[Mamoon]

C'mon South Africa, one 50+ partnership from here and you're home and Pakistan are out.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Impressed with Wasim's effort.
I wonder why Rauf was not rested. He has been abysmal.

he didnt bowl too bad...... could have got a wicket

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pace is Pace Right Now

 

[aukhan]

1 more wicket and they will start choking under pressure. Markram needs to go first.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

need to get markram ...

 

[shariqnoor]

it is a tactic to add pressure .......

No it's not. It's stupid and it's like boy crying wolf. When the wolf really arrives, the umpire will not help you then.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA continues flirting with danger. It is a matter of time before Markram getting out.

 

[nish_mate]

Markram's short for Mark Ramprakash, bound to choke at some point....

 

[rhony]

That was so close. SA looks a bit panicky here.

 

[Thanos]

Pak should win from here. ICC be like, ab aur kitni help kare?

 

[aukhan]

he didnt bowl too bad...... could have got a wicket

Yeah... compared to his earlier performances, he bowled well.

 

[Spitfire]

Wasim Jr seems a lot better option than Hassan Ali.

Wonder why have they kept him under wraps all this time?...

 

[SportsWarrior]

bring back Shaheen and bowl him in tandem with Wasim

 

[oatmeal]

SA is losing it. they arent winning today, just too nervous

 

[Sunzi]

Usamas wickets are costing too much. He did the job, get rid of him.

 

[mrtaim3]

Markaram has been very lucky so far

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fifty comes up for markram

 

[sweep_shot]

Wasim has been the best Pakistani bowler.

4.3-1-17-2.

 

[pratiktc]

Wasim deserves Miller's wkt

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

C'mon South Africa, one 50+ partnership from here and you're home and Pakistan are out.

Ok buddy ..... i understand you criticizing our team for their weaknesses but cheering for opposition is just classless.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan is showing desperating sensing a massive opening.

 

[rhony]

Wasim vs Miller is giving me Wahab vs Watson vibes. Matter of time it appears

 

[Marooned]

SA continues flirting with danger. It is a matter of time before Markram getting out.

Yeah bro. He getting out then what happening? Me too thinking

 

[Buffet]

Calm down, just put 50 runs partnership from here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pitch has slowed a lot. Typical Chepauk .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasim has been the best Pakistani bowler.

4.3-1-17-2.

This pitch suits him. After some time ball will reverse too

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Ok buddy ..... i understand you criticizing our team for their weaknesses but cheering for opposition is just classless.

Dont get angry.

 

[aukhan]

 

[Ahmed216]

When will Haris pick a crucial wicket?? Pakistans WC is almost over

 

[nish_mate]

Wasim Jr seems a lot better option than Hassan Ali.

Wonder why have they kept him under wraps all this time?...

Was sent to MRF pace academy away from PCT bowling set up- took 2 weeks to unlearn everything Morne and Tait had taught him

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Maybe shaheen for 2 over spell?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah bro. He getting out then what happening? Me too thinking

Not sure. Seems like something went on between him and Rauf. Ever since he is trying to be over-aggressive.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

need to stop boundaries ..... or take wickets.

 

[shariqnoor]

Mid-on never saves a single anyways. What's the point of him being in the ring. Get fine leg up and put long-on. How is that not understandable for Babar?

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Man.. This wasim Jr guy is bowling beautifully. Where was he for so long!

 

[MMHS]

SAF is playing at same tempo - live by sword, die by sword; no second plan. This won’t work in KOs, even if they are batting first.

 

[Energy]

Miller is going to blast his innings along and bury the game.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Miller smashing us ... usually doesnt do well against us.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Done and dusted

 

[mominsaigol]

2 more wickets and matxh is bery very interesting.

Otherwise as long as makram is their game over

 

[sweep_shot]

SA need 104 runs from 142 balls.

 

[angrypathan]

Bring Shaheen on

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think SA is trying to play sensible. They continue taknig risks.

 

[aukhan]

wow that six.

Babar needs to use his brain for once. Remove Usama for the time being.

 

[Azzurri]

Oh stupid bowl shaken here. dud captain this guy

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Poor bowling by mir, too easy to hit

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on kids .... get them out now.

 

[Kroll]

forgot I was watching with 35 mins behind lol. Will fast forward.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get Shaheen on last chance

 

[nish_mate]

Matter of a wicket Pakistani lads, remember you lost 8 for 30 odd, this is SA they hold the patent on choking.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Poor bowling by mir, too easy to hit

definitely needs to get somebody else in. leaking runs is not good at this stage.

 

[Energy]

Usama Mir is a tool of a bowler to be honest. I was very wrong about him.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Come on SA please collapse lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

This usama mir is serviceable in this match. But he will be thrashed in other places

 

[Sunzi]

Been saying it for 3 overs. Take Usama off. He cannot bowl consistent line and length.

He got a wicket. He did his job. No more.

 

[aukhan]

Miller "The Killer" means business today.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I think the Afghanistan 9th or 10th spin bowling option is better than Osama

 

[pratiktc]

Usama is a useless bowler. The only way he'll get another wkt is if the batter mishits one of his pies

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

rrr is 4.44 ... i guess even few good overs will not be enough. need to get markram.

 

[Mainul]

Poor Babar.

 

[pillionrider]

Get Rauf on for a 3 over burst.

Today could be his day

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need an over with 2 wickets

 

[Shafi]

Pak should win from here. ICC be like, ab aur kitni help kare?

How many controversial LBW umpire gave on behalf of Pakistan?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Get Rauf on for a 3 over burst.

Today could be his day

doesnt matter who ...... just need wickets.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Still Pakistan's match to lose.
One more wicket and tail will start.
Markram like Babar is a mentally weak player.

 

[shah_1]

Usama Mir should never for Pakistan again

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Still Pakistan's match to lose.
One more wicket and tail will start.
Markram like Babar is a mentally weak player.

Even maharaj can bat lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

under 100 chase.

 

[Buffet]

50 more runs without wicket is needed.

 

[castortroy]

Should be a cruise for SA from.

No pressure from babar and this clown attack serves up

 

[sweep_shot]

2 wides.

SA now need less than 100 runs.

 

[shah_1]

No slip

 

[hur rizvi]

Still Pakistan's match to lose.
One more wicket and tail will start.
Markram like Babar is a mentally weak player.

Just stop it. Easy for SA
