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

[rhony]

Game is up. Great bowling. That Usama Mir bowling change was inspired. Pak is back

 

[Sunzi]

Come on!

 

[Mamoon]

@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.

Winning ICC titles is not the only barometer for success. South Africa’s W/L ratio in ODIs and their brilliant record in Test cricket shows that they have been very successful since their readmission.

Pakistan and West Indies have more trophies than South Africa in the last 30 years but no one can argue that South Africa have been a much more successful and consistent cricket team in this period.

 

[pillionrider]

lol Morne Morkel looks depressed getting back memories perhaps.

dil dil also playing for doublechin Mickey

 

[pratiktc]

Aage daalo dande udao
C'mon Shaheen

 

[captain.hansolo]

oh i cant believe what i am seeing! i am proud of pakistan for making a game out of this.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I can't watch this, this is unreal!

 

[Asif321]

Only Africa can mess it hahah
Glad they did

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

how are the sa tailenders ......

 

[ArabKnight]

Dil Dil Pakistan playing in stadium.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

To quote a former cricketer:

"Pakistan cricket at its best! One minute down. Neck minute up! "

 

[sweep_shot]

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

Mickey looked happy. What are you talking about?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Game is up. Great bowling. That Usama Mir bowling change was inspired. Pak is back

No we can choke this easy

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Turn that Dil Dil Pakistan UP!

 

[Yati]

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

WICKETS A WICKETS doesn't matter how

 

[captain.hansolo]

so will a victory here put pakistan back on track to qualify? and does it necessarily knock south africa out?

 

[Kroll]

Need yorker and stump flying. C'mon!

 

[SportsWarrior]

Chock is on!!!!

 

[ex-q-zit]

A Pak win needed to keep this tournament interesting and also a 9-0 result in semis. Go Pakistan Go.

 

[Asif321]

No wonder SA can’t win WC

 

[FearlessRoar]

Love the way crowd supporting Pakistan

 

[hamzie]

why around the wicketttttttttttttttttttt

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Afridi should come back over the wicket. Tail ender wont know what to do with the ball going across him.

 

[captain.hansolo]

No we can choke this easy

dude just relax, remain steady.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bowl your heart out afridi .....

 

[JaDed]

Chennai again proving to be lucky for Pakistan, absolutely hating why they are playing the song though.

 

[Suleiman]

Keep the streak alive.

 

[sweep_shot]

21 are needed from 52 balls.

 

[7sins]

Maharaj is the key wicket

 

[KingKhanWC]

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.

Not in the same over but 2 wickets quickly, the game is there to be won now from Pak

If they win from here its a great win for sure.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Ravi Shastri like says "Lungi Ngidi"

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Maharaj is decent

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yorkers at 148 - 150 go.....

 

[sweep_shot]

Chennai again proving to be lucky for Pakistan, absolutely hating why they are playing the song though.

Why are you hating?

 

[MMHS]

SAF has AFG, NZ & IND left - they won’t chase against AFGs with this attitude and genuinely can loose to Ind & NZ. Basically, can miss SF from here on!!!!!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Choking at it's best

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chennai again proving to be lucky for Pakistan, absolutely hating why they are playing the song though.

small heart bro.

Just embrace it. You will be singing it in your sleep.

 

[globetrotter]

SA proved chokers tag

 

[hamzie]

what the hellllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Suleiman]

All these morons keep getting injured by just fielding…

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Maharaj is decent

hope he gets out

 

[captain.hansolo]

Maharaj is the key wicket

yeah, he is almost a proper batsman. that guy is an incredible talent, as good a bowler as jadeja and as good a batsman as pandya.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Winning ICC titles is not the only barometer for success. South Africa’s W/L ratio in ODIs and their brilliant record in Test cricket shows that they have been very successful since their readmission.

Pakistan and West Indies have more trophies than South Africa in the last 30 years but no one can argue that South Africa have been a much more successful and consistent cricket team in this period.

Looking like another bottle job coming up by South Africa, reminds me of Arteta last season.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Wasim cramping could be an advantage for RSA

 

[JaDed]

small heart bro.

Just embrace it. You will be singing it in your sleep.

lmao embrace what , its internal politics why they are playing the song.
DMK stooges . They will have a meltdown if other Indian fans do this for Lanka during civil war.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

yeah, he is almost a proper batsman. that guy is an incredible talent, as good a bowler as jadeja and as good a batsman as pandya.

Common mate.. Krunal is better batsman than Maharaj

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

get a last ball wicket afridi......

 

[kingusama92]

What a game

 

[KingKhanWC]

Where is Mr. Humiliated aka mamoon

He's watching Arteta bottling it and hoping Saffers dont follow his lead.

Great over by Shaheen.

20 with 2 wickets. 10 runs a wicket , cant get any closer.

 

[7sins]

Shaheen bowl at the wicket

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bring haris ......

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen has 1 over left after this.

20 runs are needed from 8 overs.

 

[hamzie]

cmon please yaar give us some luck from the heavens
bring haris on

 

[Thanos]

Is there any award for most cramps for any team?

 

[ArabKnight]

Afridi needs to be more aggressive.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dont go spinner.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I think SA will win, Pak doesn't have wicket takers apart from Shaheen

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can rauf bowls accurate yorkers?

 

[Suleiman]

usama may give the game away with fresh baked pies

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

ok ... usama. bowl a really good one.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Why Mir man

 

[Ahmed216]

Usama begins with a full toss again

 

[castortroy]

Usama bowls too much trash

Why are they giving easy singles here

 

[hamzie]

why no haris
why are we brain dead

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Can rauf bowls accurate yorkers?

he can ...

 

[JaDed]

usama may give the game away with fresh baked pies

Took Markram lol

 

[Marooned]

Usama is crazy. He prolly bowled 30 fulltosses today

 

[mominsaigol]

Why is usama mir bowling? Bring pacers and try to take the final 2?

 

[oatmeal]

Why is field so spread out

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Still believe Maharaj will guide RSA to victory

 

[MMHS]

PAK need to find couple of spinners who can bowl with brand new ball, so that they can preserve 30 overs of the pacers with old ball.

 

[castortroy]

Don't understand this field

 

[Ahmed216]

As I said they’ll rue not making an effort to bat 50 overs

 

[captain.hansolo]

What a game.

absolutely. the best game of the tournament so far have involved a proper team and a minnow. i hate to say it, but pakistan has been playing as a minnow this tournament, but this game they have been doing exceptionally well!

 

[Aviator]

One more wicket in this over and Pakistan will win..

 

[ArabKnight]

Usama Mir isn’t a good bowler. He got fluke wickets today. No spin. No swing.

 

[Devadwal]

Mickey looked happy. What are you talking about?

you can see yourself and make conclusions

 

[hamzie]

babar is brain dead
why not haris
he cleans up tail

 

[KingKhanWC]

No point saving pacers.

Finish of Afridi and Wasim Jnr. If you cant win in 2 overs from here, you will lose anyway.

 

[Thanos]

Stupid commentary. Big shot coming.
Why would they go for risky shot.
