ICC World Cup 2023: India v Pakistan | Match 12 | Ahmedabad | 14 October | Pakistan innings

[Nikhil_cric]

What a poor decisions by rohit to bowl first .this is same mistake that Virat did in 2017 CT final and sarfraz in 2019 wc match against India.

No it's not. It's a brilliant decision here.

 

[Rajdeep]

Is Nasser Hussain commentating?

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Just play the 50 overs boys !!!

 

[160KPH]

Time to exorcise our demons.

 

[Markhor]

The thing is whatever the par total is - we must add an extra 20-30 run cushion because of how poorly Shaheen and our spinners are currently bowling.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

How many do Pakistan need here?

345+ lets see if india can chase it?

 

[Rana]

Shaheen big opportunity to get early swing under lights

 

[emranabbas]

Shukar hai pakistans body language looking good

 

[viking2559]

Imam better score today. It should be his last chance.

 

[Major]

whats with the pink posters?

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol, Kohli has earn respect from Pakistani fans. Why should we respect Babar? We'll respect him if he take his team to the win today..

So because you don't respect someone you will publicly boo him like a degenerate? Let me ask you something, who are you to disrespect babar exactly? What exactly have you accomplished in life? Compared to babar.

Don't give me that logic, degenerate behaviour is degenerate behaviour. Apologise and have respect for certain cricketers who are playing on your country that can't even clean their doodoo seats properly.

Learn to use ajax spray.

 

[Devadwal]

No it's not. It's a brilliant decision here.

Time will tell but Batting first is way to go for me

 

[Markhor]

How long before Imam gets tested with the short ball ? Let's see how he deals with it today.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

How many do Pakistan need here?

At least 200

 

[Rajdeep]

No it's not. It's a brilliant decision here.

I am not very sure. Remember we were 2/3 against Australia under lights

 

[160KPH]

I think there will be swing in evening so that will assist your pacers and you can easily put India under pressure especially if batsman also have put good total in first inning. It could be a Champions Trophy'17 like scenario.

There will be swing early on under lights but if they don’t get early wickets it’ll be quickly over because the dew will start to come on and our spinners are already bad.

 

[Major]

i spotted one pakistani flag in the crowd

 

[Rana]

Did anyone watch the ceremony? Was it any good?

Probably some pro BJP ceremony that they didn’t want to air to the world

 

[Rana]

At least 200

By one of the openers?

 

[160KPH]

Probably some pro BJP ceremony that they didn’t want to air to the world

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Imam, now is your time to win me over.

 

[Major]

Probably some pro BJP ceremony that they didn’t want to air to the world

btw good luck when Rizwan comes, we will be bugging you

 

[160KPH]

Abdullah Shafique, you can write your name in the hearts of the entire nation today.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

i can't believe nawaz is playing again

 

[Rana]

Looks like a road so far

 

[batandballbattle]

Really don't get why india chose to field on a road
We should make full use of this opportunity now

 

[Devadwal]

Looks very flat pitch

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Let's go. Bat first is our best hope.

 

[Major]

they didnt broadcast the opening ceremony due to no crowd showing up

 

[Rana]

btw good luck when Rizwan comes, we will be bugging you

Most welcome

You better hope Pakistan wins too

 

[emranabbas]

Need to play out few overs to calm nerves

 

[Devadwal]

they didnt broadcast the opening ceremony due to no crowd showing up

Enjoy the match

 

[TheSultan]

Come on shaffers

 

[Rana]

Maiden lol

 

[160KPH]

No movement by Bumrah at all.

 

[Azzurri]

Starts with a maiden

 

[emranabbas]

No swing

 

[Abhilash93]

Doesnt seem to any swing at all. Second innings will be better for pacers with some evening breeze and moisture.

 

[Devadwal]

Nice flick but straight to fielder

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

All 4 balls middled by Abdullah.. Looks promising talent to me

 

[IAJ]

Got to feel for the Pakistani players, not a single green spot in the stands. A complete blue sea building up.

 

[Major]

Indian fans using the pink charts as fans in the crowd. Damn

and Pakistan gets a 4 and pin drop silence in the crowd. hahahahaha

 

[160KPH]

We need to attack Siraj, Thakur, Pandya. Bumrah will bowl tight even without swing.

 

[TheSultan]

Go on Shaffers

 

[Devadwal]

Furst boundary

 

[Ahmed216]

No it's not. It's a brilliant decision here.

It was a no brainer actually

 

[sam_ahm]

A lot of empty seats as of now... Don't tell me they've messed up this game too!!!

 

[TheSultan]

Imam - make me a fan, come on

 

[Major]

Rameez Raja is laughing the indian crowds pin drop silence...

As if there hopes died

 

[kingusama92]

This pitch is a complete road

 

[viking2559]

Good by Abdullah. It's time to announce the arrival at the grandest stage.

 

[Rana]

Bumrah looking toothless

Feel this is a Rawalpindi road

 

[160KPH]

Crowd quiet after one 4

 

[mikeypbadana86]

shafiq has got good temperament, his body language is great for a new comer ! impressed as an Indian fan

 

[imshally81]

Good shot by Abdullah.. 4 runs

 

[MenInG]

Go on Shaffers

Stunned silence.

 

[emranabbas]

Wow fast outfield and no swing
India made the wrong decision

 

[Omer2002]

One shud have been a 4 but solid

 

[Ahmed216]

Really liked shafique's calmness in that first over. Absolutely no nerves. Great find

 

[Major]

back to back 4s, Indians back to back quiet

 

[TheSultan]

Yes imam - nice tickle

 

[kingusama92]

That's such a class shot from Shafique.

Wow

 

[160KPH]

Yaar we might need 400 on this road of a pitch

 

[Devadwal]

A lot of empty seats as of now... Don't tell me they've messed up this game too!!!

Chill yr. All the tickets were sold and some people come later in the evening

 

[Major]

another 4, another pin drop silence

 

[imshally81]

Another 4444

 

[Rana]

Imam is on fire

 

[King_Babar]

Siraj can be dangerous, pak batters tend to miss straighter ones.

 

[TheSultan]

Oh yes Imam

 

[Devadwal]

Another boundary

 

[Srinath_cricket]

This is a 350-375 pitch!

 

[Major]

a dot ball, and we are reminded the crowd does exist

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Siraj bowling too full..

 

[Devadwal]

Phainta start

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Rana]

Again it was in the slot but Imam defends

 

[160KPH]

Crowd sitting quiet already hahahaha

 

[Major]

another 4, crowd ko chup hee lag gaye

 

[msb314]

Flattest pitch ever lol

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj bowling too full..

Yes but he is hoping for some swing
