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

[Rana]

Siraj getting owned by Imam

 

[TheSultan]

Lol imam - we’re getting there, nearly a fan

 

[viking2559]

Siraj seems like a gentle medium pacer.
133,134,133.
Brilliant from imam

 

[Ahmed216]

Siraj definitely not bowling like ICC rank 1

 

[emranabbas]

India messed up big time no swing fast outfield

300+ should be Easy

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Siraj is bowling absolutely terrible stuff. Pathetic. More reason why shami should've been selected.

 

[Devadwal]

Imam is playing Blinder

 

[Major]

Again it was in the slot but Imam defends

bro he has 3 fours in this over, doesnt need to go crazy, outfield is fast, ball is travelling without risk.

 

[kingusama92]

Imam turning into prime Jayasuriya today

 

[RamLakhan]

Pakistan should get 300+ and Shaheen should get that rhythm back! Left-arm swingers always have hurt India while chasing. And Gill (after recovery) opening is also not particularly comforting... India should mix the batting lineup and send Jadeja at No.3 or 4 if there wickets fall quickly. You never know what happens under lights against left-arm seamers.

 

[Technics 1210]

They did not give our fans visas!

Cowards.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like 450 runs pitch!!!!

 

[Rana]

One of the Indian top order will get 180+ here

 

[volcyz]

Siraj talk nah

 

[viking2559]

Looks like the flattest track of the world cup

 

[YousafTheBeast]

650 pitch

 

[Technics 1210]

So weird, normally when a boundary is scored the crowd cheers, in this match the crowd is silenced.

LOL!

 

[160KPH]

Imam and Abdullah looking focused!

 

[Rana]

Just keep playing your shots Imam

 

[Major]

yar, you would find a better crowd than this in Pakistan. Where the opposition would be cheered upon.

Like seriously, as soon as the ball races to the boundary pin drop silence.

also poor commetary, no excitement. Rameez Raja is pathetic. If Pakistan is hitting a 4 show the enthusiasm.

 

[hamzie]

Too many dots
Make it a single

 

[IAJ]

So short boundaries, why?

 

[Suleiman]

Thank you brother Siraj.

 

[emranabbas]

One of the Indian top order will get 180+ here

No chance under lights bowling will be different

 

[Asad T]

"Imam averages 13 against the short ball this year. He was practicing against it yesterday in the nets and was getting into awkward positions. Nasir Hussain

A matter of time before India try to bump him

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Looks like 450 runs pitch!!!!

Can you please stop.
You are irritating.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Funny to see many people laughing about crowd and silence after just 2 overs when their bowling attack has to bowl second on this road.

 

[Suleiman]

it’s all good. Will make the win more sweeter. That’s when that silence will be deafening. in Sha Allah

 

[MMHS]

PAK will need 350 to be competitive here!!!

 

[VForVendetta]

When Imam Safety First Haq opens his account with back to back 3 boundaries out of 4 deliveries you know damn well this is a batting paradise. Mediocre stuff like 280-300 ain't gonna fly here. They should keep the hammering on.

 

[msb314]

Need 350+ here

 

[Devadwal]

Just short

 

[Major]

first single of the match

 

[GLORY OF '92]

330 to stay in the game here

 

[mominsaigol]

Imam was practising In the nets against short ball. Good yaar, Finally imam is adopting a growth mindset.

Shukar, Maybe rizzu talked some sense into him

 

[160KPH]

Just survive Bumrah. Indian team medium pace attack will be vulnerable here.

 

[pillionrider]

I had hopes that Gujarat would rise above being home to Modi-Shah, but looks like the pettiness of the BJP has seeped deep into their heartland. Disgusting boos when Babar started to speak. Sorry to say, Babar looked intimidated. Hope the rest of the Pak team turn up and provide a great game but India win of course, despite this crowd that seems third-class at this point.

Maybe emotion got the better of me in calling them thirdclass. Poor crowd behaviour at the toss but a little better with a nice cheer for the Pak openers when they strode out.

Ok enough of nitpicking, time to sit back and enjoy this spectacle.

 

[imshally81]

First single of the innings...

 

[Rana]

Just play your shots Imam!!!

 

[TheSultan]

The best part of playing in India is the stunned silence when they getting a phainty. Nothing can beat those 10 overs in 1996. Pin drop silence

 

[vodafone_lover]

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

Dude, I myself tried to get two tickets for this clash but it was very expensive, in your PKR, it's almost more than 100K and all were sold out so take a chill pill

 

[Major]

and there comes the bounce for imam

 

[Ahmed216]

Really impressive start by these 2. Up for the fight

 

[aukhan]

Good start so far

 

[batandballbattle]

Poor over from siraj
When he tried to go across imam he did well, but far too often he'd been straying onto the pads looking for the magic ball

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a decision to bowl first here.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

The best part of playing in India is the stunned silence when they getting a phainty. Nothing can beat those 10 overs in 1996. Pin drop silence

Best part in today's match is watching Pakistan bowl second on this road.

 

[deltexas]

Thakur instead of shami is a huge blunder by India. Hope he gets thrashed so badly hetr that India will rethink for future games. Even Ashwin would have been better instead of Thakur.

 

[Rana]

Imam realised he was going too fast in the fast Lane

Pulling back into the middle lane conservative

 

[pillionrider]

That was a T10 game?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Unbelievable numbers by Bumrah 1

 

[kingusama92]

That ball isn't even moving an inch

About as flat as it can get

 

[Devadwal]

Imam is Rock solid .

 

[hamzie]

Why are we blocking so much

 

[Shafi]

How many do Pakistan need here?

Atleast 400. 450 would be great if Hasan, Afridi perfroms well

 

[160KPH]

Imam realised he was going too fast in the fast Lane

Nahhh just that he will target Siraj over Bumrah

 

[aukhan]

Imam looking good so far. Probably the best i have ever seen him play.

 

[Ahmed216]

Imam need to kick on yaar

 

[TheSultan]

Yes shaffers

 

[Rana]

Just be brave and keep playing your shots!!

 

[Azzurri]

They need to keep playing their shots. Don’t get bogged down

 

[Major]

i was watching the game, and i suddenly felt i lost my hearing, but when i saw the TV i saw we hit another boundary and it was the indian pin drop silence.

 

[pillionrider]

Shottt

 

[160KPH]

Atleast 400. 450 would be great if Hasan, Afridi perfroms well

Brother why not 500?

 

[Devadwal]

That ball isn't even moving an inch

About as flat as it can get

Yes but bowl will move under light .
Another four

 

[Asad T]

Yes but he is hoping for some swing

yes soon they will bring the length back

 

[aukhan]

Target Siraj Lumber 1 bowler seems to be the weakest link.

 

[hamzie]

Shot

 

[Rana]

Siraj is under pressure

Keep him under pressure!!

 

[imshally81]

Great shot by Abdu9.. 4 runs

 

[emranabbas]

Faster you bowl easier for the batsmen

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Dealing in boundaries !!!

 

[mominsaigol]

Abdullah coming into the side really changed the dynamic of opening tbh. No more early wickets

 

[batandballbattle]

Big opportunity for Imam to shake off the parchi tag once and for all

 

[Devadwal]

Hahaha commentators sledging ravi shastri

 

[Theo_14]

That ball isn't even moving an inch

About as flat as it can get

Predictions bro?

 

[160KPH]

Ravi Shastri being teased by other commentator

“Ravi where has the crowd gone?”

 

[Major]

2nd single of the match

 

[Srinath_cricket]

I'm not seeing Siraj playing another game in this tournament after today. 3 very very poor games. Shami will playing hereon. Shami is expensive during death but is a good bowler first up and can get wickets on such decks. Siraj is not bad, but he's just wilting under world Cup pressure on such flat decks.

 

[TheSultan]

Good running - boys are switched on today
