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

[ArabKnight]

Dummy. You’re supposed to block singles. Get a fielder in!

 

[Devadwal]

Why the hell single is allowed by Pakistan. What the use of sweeper

 

[sweep_shot]

13 are needed from 33 balls.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Wasim can bowl good yorkers as well.

 

[7sins]

Bring in the fielders babar

 

[gani999]

If the Saffers lose this one, they should give up their points to the teams they have beaten and exit from the tournament.
A team that cannot score 21 runs in 10 overs, irrespective of bowling attack, has no place in the ICC World Cup.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I thought Fakhar was injured.. he is fielding

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

13 are needed from 33 balls.

too tight

 

[KingKhanWC]

Wasim has the line, at this stage you must bring all 3 dismissals into play every ball.

 

[angrypathan]

Have to get the line right with the full ones

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Best match of tournament so far
We got first thriller after 26 matches

 

[Itachi]

RSA has worse tail than India.

I thought we had the worst tail.

 

[Major]

dont need wides and no stuff down the leg man

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Lol..this Ngidi guy is quite confusing when it comes to taking singles, he might end up getting run out.

 

[ArabKnight]

I can guarantee Babar Azam has never got a runout in the field in his life.

 

[hamzie]

imagine if we batted the 50 overs

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

not extras.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Get it under 10 first lol..

 

[angrypathan]

I thought Fakhar was injured.. he is fielding

No just dropped

 

[7sins]

This game is done man

 

[Ab Fan]

@Ab Fan unlike most other trolls who I troll back. I respect you alot, especially your respect for de villers the cricketing great, so I'm just going to talk calmly.

Bro I told you so, Pakistan team is the weakest its ever been. Sa team lost to capable teams in 2015, 2019 wc. Those teams aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

2023 team is beyond toothless and sa 2023 is > 2015 and 2019 sa team. Only de villers from 2015 is >.

Thanks for the kind words but at no point I was in troll mode. Context is key but in World Cups when the oppositions feature either Pakistan or South Africa, things happen which are beyond context, logic and basic school of cricket. History suggests the same.

South Africa have shown signs of crumbling in this game too and that pretty much confirms why I would not have South Africa as favourites in any World Cup game when they are chasing and especially as we move to the business end of the tournament.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

I think we have lost yaar

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Nahi yar wide

 

[oatmeal]

QDK worried about the choker label

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

last ten runs

 

[sweep_shot]

Wide.

11 runs to win. 10 runs to tie.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pakistan offered so many easy singles

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I think we have lost yaar

We are bigger chokers

 

[hamzie]

has to be haris rauf

 

[angrypathan]

Rauf bhai 2 yorkers pls

 

[7sins]

Just bring in Rauf tell him to bowl fast and full

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Maharaj is showcasing his Test cricket skills

 

[Major]

THere is nothing to lose for SA. Its Pakistan on the line here

 

[mazkhan]

Haris has to bowl and fire those yorkers in

 

[JaDed]

I would hate being a PCT supporter so many ups and downs, drama.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

RSA has worse tail than India.

I thought we had the worst tail.

This Maharaj is too timid of a batsman .Lungi is facing confidently than Maharaj.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Rauf in..can he redeem himself

 

[Aviator]

These brainless bowler trying nothing new... Bowling like a machine... Atleast try yorkers, slower balls..

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Not playing out full 50 overs haunting us. 15-20 more uff

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak is not winning it. Well fought!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I really hope we win this.

 

[oatmeal]

All on Rauf's shoulders

 

[KingKhanWC]

Its up to Rauf now.

Tabrez bhai at 11 cant hold a stick , so 1 wicket next over, Pak will win.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Haris Rauf deserves some luck.

No i wasn't saying you were in troll mode.

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf need to win this for Pakistan

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Not playing out full 50 overs haunting us. 15-20 more uff

really . it is so dumb of us to do it.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf's final over.

11 runs are needed from 29 balls.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Why is no one bowling a Yorker ?

 

[angrypathan]

Getting reverse here

 

[Devadwal]

Why no slip as edges can taken and fly for four

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Why no one targeting the stumps?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Third man should be fine.. Even a fine edge can go for boundary

 

[shah9425]

Out

 

[hassan918]

Haris has done it. WOW WOW WOW

 

[oatmeal]

Why is no one bowling a Yorker ?

you get a yorker wrong it will be low full toss. But these are tailenders they wont hit anyways

 

[Suleiman]

LETS GOOOO

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

last wicket makes people do crazy stuff.... get a wicket haris.

 

[7sins]

Man bowl Yorker at the wicket try lbw or something

 

[angrypathan]

RAUF YOU BEAUTY

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hard luck for Pakistan. We were 80 runs short

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What a catch
What a match

 

[MMHS]

Nut Babar has wasted Raufs 3-4 overs with new ball. Had they got 2-3 from Rauf & Shaheen ….. still 10 runs, so game on

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[hamzie]

oh my godddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[oatmeal]

OUT. Awesome catch

 

[sweep_shot]

Catch.

SA lose their 9th wicket.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Why is no one bowling a Yorker ?

They are, Wasim bowled two in the last over but they were down legside.

 

[msb314]

Cheetah!!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Yes....... yes .

 

[JattMaula]

What a catch,!!!!!!


:Aag
:Aag

 

[JaDed]

Wow ..

 

[kingusama92]

This is one of the best games ever

 

[Kroll]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Cric_lover4487]

If SA win tonight- they finally break choke fix, build confidence in themselves and carry on form to get into final
If Pak win tonight- They get confidence from unpredictable tag. Carry on momentum and reach final.
I strongly believe winner of this match will play final.
Momentum is so important in knockout tournaments

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

South Africa choke mode on

 

[Major]

omgg catch of hte tournament. give him the man of the amthc

 

[7sins]

What a catch. Catch of the tournament

 

[sweep_shot]

Brilliant catch.

 

[light]

YOOOO what a catch. Chokers be choking haha
