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

Moat teams joke with the opposition when their winning, rizzu is the only guy who jokes when we are losing? What a future captain he will make.
 
These are the type of games I see Babar extremely dull & reactive. 4 down, last pair and it’s the king of panic SAF chasing - still feels like Babar has resigned from the game already. His body language is poor, even poorer is fiend placing or bowling changes…… just going through the motions. May be bowling is not that good, but they got the penetration l.

PAK still can steal this game but that will be for SAF’s choking, not for Babar’s tactics. PAK needs a captain change.
 
The biggest reason for our wc disaster is our slow batting. None of our batsmen seem to be able to even hit run a ball whereas other teams are smoking at 120-130 sr.

Just look at makram's innings. Even when in some pressure, being the holding glue in this chase his sr never went below 100. It it was our last man standing, he prolly be on a 58(82) kind of score and rrr would have already climbed above 6.
 
He has given ball to frontline bowlers, not sure what else he can do.
he needs to give ball the wicket taker m wasim and shaheen with slips in place

he's trying to take it to the last over even a blind person can see but what's the point when your going to bowl harris

why is he bringing Harris on when everyone knows he's going to get smashed

Alarm Bells in the PCB should have run when we lost our home series to Australia, England and NZ. Unfortunately the PCB were drunk on the team's showings in the 2021 and 2022 T20 WC. Performances in the T-20 format going forward should be given minimal ratings, that will be a good start towards improving our cricket.
 
Name the players we could have included. Easy to whine on TV channels.
Misbha and Hafeez recommended Amir, Imad, Harris Sohail and Abrar over Usama Mir but Babar did not even listen to the suggestion and said it's my team my choice and even Inzi give ok that that squad and than Hafeez resign in protest.
 
Having said it for 100th time..
Even an out of form, langda Shaheen Afridi can turn match on his own.

I keep seeing it said the SA will choke, but these are different players, they aren't necessarily going to carry the same traits as their teams from 20 years ago.
 
Pakistan got such terrible spinners and a poor captain. Put Dhoni in this game as Pak captain and Pak will come out winning by 50 runs.
 
Hope the PCB tells Rizwan to stop these antics behind the stumps i.e. celebrating taking a catch when the batsman hasn't nicked the ball. Very annoying and frustrating.
 
Given Jansen's antics against Rizwan earlier, I wouldn't mind Pakistan launching a couple of balls at his head. 🙂

Gobby little so and so...
