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

[Ml12345]

A couple of sixes aur khatam karo

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Markram has been very lucky today. With run outs, and with his shot making.

There's no guile to his batting. It's all risk taking strokes to relieve pressure. Today he has got away with it.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

What a stupid shot lol

 

[Mamoon]

This is India, batting 2nd 70% of the time on these flat decks will take you home.

I think he bottled it v Afg, worrying about their spinners but on those pitches nothing to worry about.

The team isnt bad, the whole PCB shambles before Asia Cup, coming to Hindustan, messed up selectors, part time coaches and the chairman is a clueless as one can get.

The captain also has been poor.

Pakistan has no MAN like Imran Khan in area of society, let alone in the cricket world.

This embarrasment at least wont allow Ashraf and his cronies to take glory, only shining light on this debacle.

Please keep your Imran Khan creepy fetish out of this thread please. He is in jail you can go and join him if you love him so much.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Oh Usama all is forgiven!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

[Ab Fan]

Markram showed enough signs of choking and he got out ultimately.

 

[amvbfm]

[angrypathan]

[FearlessRoar]

Big fish markram gone

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Fast googly to the new batsman please

 

[msb314]

Mar khan gone!!!!

 

[hamzie]

Usama? Hahaha Babar..

you were saying

 

[oatmeal]

SA can choke till the last moment

 

[sweep_shot]

Markram is out.

That was a bad shot. It was not needed at this stage. LOL.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Already told you all, Markram has no capability to chase this.. Mental midget

 

[kingusama92]

I can't believe this.

South Africa is desperate to throw it away

 

[Asif321]

Lol Africa are the best chokes

 

[captain.hansolo]

HELL YEAH!!!! come on boys!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

20 runs and three wickets...... test of our bowling now. they can win it.

 

[7sins]

Commentator Shastri trying to big this 1 sided game up.. saving face for a boring 1 sided World Cup !!

Yeah seriously boring world cup not even 1 close game I think this should be last 50 over world cup it's soo long and boring

 

[rhony]

Wow!! What a game! Thought Usama option was terrible. Proven wrong. Exciting game

 

[Devadwal]

Gone. Chokes is on . pathetic batting by markram .Jansen and Markram was out due to their ego just like England Players.
There were no need of that type of shots here becouse RR is less than 2 .

 

[oatmeal]

Need to clear the tail

 

[castortroy]

Why not build some pressure at this stage and bring the field in

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Markram did lose his team

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Somebody said this is a true pitch, lol. This is a tough Chepauk 2nd innings pitch

 

[captain.hansolo]

Lol Africa are the best chokes

dont jinx it, just keep calm.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

No. They are not officially out even if they lose today. They should still be alive mathematically.

Mathematically with WHAT NRR, time to give bench a chance but Babar will try to make 4 more 50s with 50 SR

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is India, batting 2nd 70% of the time on these flat decks will take you home.

I think he bottled it v Afg, worrying about their spinners but on those pitches nothing to worry about.

The team isnt bad, the whole PCB shambles before Asia Cup, coming to Hindustan, messed up selectors, part time coaches and the chairman is a clueless as one can get.

The captain also has been poor.

Pakistan has no MAN like Imran Khan in area of society, let alone in the cricket world.

This embarrasment at least wont allow Ashraf and his cronies to take glory, only shining light on this debacle.

The team isn't great, and it isn't as bad as they are being made to look either. Real lack of tactical awareness or game plan, not to mention some really dumb selection of spinners.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa have shown in this game why they are unlikely to win the World Cup (despite the batting lineup).

They lose the plot when there is pressure. Not clinical like the Aussies.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Markram is mental midget like Babar.
I'm sure he is not capable of guiding RSA to victory from him.
101% sure..

Already told u guys

 

[castortroy]

If pak had batted their allocated overs they may have won this

 

[MMHS]

Still game on - 21 vs 3 wickets, of which Shamshi won’t last a full over.

 

[Kroll]

Could do with a Bumrah here or even Shami.

Pak rueing their brainless batting at the end.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on guys choke them......

 

[captain.hansolo]

Somebody said this is a true pitch, lol. This is a tough Chepauk 2nd innings pitch

Chepauk... is that what the stadium is called?

 

[hamzie]

new batsman 5 outside the circle
ok

 

[castortroy]

He is either to full or top short

 

[sweep_shot]

21 runs are needed from 57 balls.

 

[angrypathan]

Should bring long on in, encourage him to hit over the top against the spin

 

[Sunzi]

@Mamoon Think the posts have been removed. You spoke to the success of SA. I challenged that; they haven't been successful in era, with any composition.

However, I do agree with the sentiment. Just not the type of thing that is said.

 

[captain.hansolo]

The team isn't great, and it isn't as bad as they are being made to look either. Real lack of tactical awareness or game plan, not to mention some really dumb selection of spinners.

no this team is pretty bad, its just that the south africans are very undercooked.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

afridi or haris?

 

[Suleiman]

Choke is on.

 

[JaDed]

A win for Pak here will make it very interesting!
Cmon!!!

 

[Suleiman]

Already told u guys

Good call.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan is favorite to win the match now . South African are chokers. period

 

[shah9425]

Out

 

[Kroll]

OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Thanos]

For some reason I think Babar wasn't bad today with captaincy. May be an over late with all the changes still did better than so far in whole tournament.

 

[Ali Active]

Ya Allahh

 

[Sunzi]

Difficult to defend 21.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Coetzee will win it

 

[sweep_shot]

Coetzee is the last recognized batter.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Out

[imshally81]

[hamzie]

holy molyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[JaDed]

[Kroll]

C'mon Pakistan another 2 wickets please yaar.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Coetzee will win it

Kaala jadooiiiiiiiii

 

[sweep_shot]

SA are making it difficult for them.

250/8.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

man this is so tense

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .look at Mickey and Morkel face as they are very sad

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

oh yes ........

 

[captain.hansolo]

afridi or haris?

afridi

 

[kingusama92]

I can't believe my eyes

Only South Africa can choke like this

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Shaheen with Killer Blow
Still believe Maharaj will guide RSA to victory

 

[ArabKnight]

Afridi is bowling too slow. The wicket was a fluke.

 

[hamzie]

is morne morkel happy or sad

 

[Thanos]

What a game.
