ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 35 | Bengaluru | 4 November | New Zealand Innings

[IndoorCricket]

The thing is NZ playing risk free cricket.

 

[jattafridi]

I mean 429 World Cup record

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Pitch is a pancake feasting on pies

He's well in..

Pathetic throw

 

[soso_killer]

Glen Philips

He's only striking at 99 this WC

 

[BouncerGuy]

this type of bowling is pathetic. No real intent and threat. Batters are feeding here

 

[Asif321]

Run out finally

 

[Civil]

We are about to witness the carnage . We have to put up a fight can't go out like this.

 

[Devadwal]

Wc was always over mate.

I called Nz thrashing Pakistan a while ago. Idk why everyone went Gorilla mode on me and justified us beating Bangladesh as an excuse

Yea , world cup was mostly over when Pakistan were lost four back to back matches but NZ performance in last three matches raise some expectations for Pakistanis teams and fan's.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He looked out in real time

 

[chinaman00]

lol Shaheen shaking his head as he walks to field. Tells you all you need to know about the mindset of this team.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Not out.

 

[MMHS]

I'm at the stadium and I personally request people to stop saying he plays with soft hands.

He's hitting the ball with tremendous force. Sounds 5 times harder than Rachin!

Soft hands is a term in cricket doesn’t mean someone hits it softly. Azhar was famous for his “soft” touches; but he could hit as hard as anyone from his wrists flicks.

 

[BouncerGuy]

400 is gonna be a success here for Pakistan considering the current situation. Totally lost

 

[Asif321]

Lmao thought it was out

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are 2 overs behind.

 

[Usman Chadda]

this type of bowling is pathetic. No real intent and threat. Batters are feeding here

Small ground, set batsmen.

NZ have been on the receiving end of two huge scores aswell.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Slow chacha

 

[jnaveen1980]

He looked out in real time

For me it didn't look out.

 

[soso_killer]

Mitchell?

Not as destructive

 

[hur rizvi]

At least Pakistan will have no face saving and excuses for next 4 years

Kudos to NZ for that

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Catches win matches Rizwan

Drop Kane early and this is what happens

 

[Savak]

Totally rattled team. Complete abscence of leadership on the field.

 

[soso_killer]

That should have been a run out. Poor cricket by Pakis

 

[Asif321]

Better rain now

 

[MMHS]

No hard feeling PAK posters here - but I would have gone to bed had he been run out.

 

[sweep_shot]

Kane survives. A better throw could've gotten him out.

 

[PakFan2010]

Par score on this pitch is 375.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Soft hands is a term in cricket doesn’t mean someone hits it softly. Azhar was famous for his “soft” touches; but he could hit as hard as anyone from his wrists flicks.

I know bro. Just can't believe KW actually hits the ball like that.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Good over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Small ground, set batsmen.

NZ have been on the receiving end of two huge scores aswell.

Pakistan was thrashed in warm ups, thrashed by India in Asia cup, thrashed by Srilanka. It is a pattern. But Ramiz Raja every time keeps saying 150 clicks 150 clicks it is weird.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yea , world cup was mostly over when Pakistan were lost four back to back matches but NZ performance in last three matches raise some expectations for Pakistanis teams and fan's.

Brother ik pak, aus and NZ like the back of my hand. My knowledge on other teams is a bit poor though.

But I knew this would happen 100%. Just like I knew NZ would smack eng in the opener.

My og prediction made on Oct 9th was

1) India
2) NZ
3) SA
4) Aus

^^ These were my semi finalist pics. And I stand by it and I will be right.

 

[soso_killer]

Where did I mention soft hands?

 

[IndoorCricket]

Pacers will be clobbered. they need to take the pace of the ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

For me it didn't look out.

Here in the stadium everyone thought he was out. He looked slow.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Where did I mention soft hands?

Not about you. Just a general comment.

 

[jattafridi]

Only rain can save Pakistan

 

[kron]

Yelpp. Need a complete overhaul

 

[m.shah]

This is carnage

 

[WengerOut]

Williamson is trying hard to get himself out, but Pakistan says "Not on our watch "

 

[jnaveen1980]

His relatives are treated to a great cricket.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Poor throw saved Williamson. This is why Aus has 5 WC and Desi teams live on nostalgia of 92 and 2011

 

[soso_killer]

Nervous 90's could cost NZ here

 

[globetrotter]

This bowling unit will be remembered long for bringing Warner and Williamson in form

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar vs Ravindra

 

[sweep_shot]

Rachin is on 99*.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Rachin Ravindra performance is what Saim Ayub and Sharjeel would have done if they got a chance

 

[kron]

Lol at the Indian crowd. Rachin rachin

Sachhu fans.

 

[mominsaigol]

Sigh what a thrashing from NZ.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ton for Bangalorean brother Rachin. Such a blessing to watch it in person

 

[MMHS]

Is he a confirmed starter though? Been dropped this world cup and Pakistan should be looking to find a better player to replace him permanently after the world cup

One specialist spinner is must, if required he’ll bat at 11. Shadab can be a very handy second spinner and no. 7. Also, guy has wasted his career chasing T20s - Leggis mature at older age than normal. Even considering good few years buffer, he has 10-12 years left in PAK career; still enough time for him to focus on leg spin and improve it to acceptable level - may not be Mushi, but definitely can be Afridi level.

What he needs is to stop playing T20 leagues and focus on FC games for a season - 35-38 overs spells with wicket taking fielding, he should be there.

 

[globetrotter]

Ravindra 100 looks solid batsman

 

[Saanji]

Yaar, bring him to India team

 

[PakFan2010]

Rachin Ravindra performance is what Saim Ayub and Sharjeel would have done if they got a chance

Lol

 

[Devadwal]

Ravindra is never ever forget this world cup .what a player

 

[kron]

Rachin Ravindra performance is what Saim Ayub and Sharjeel would have done if they got a chance

Doubt it man. Not against high quality bowlers. Long way to go. Maybe marginal improvement but not much to talk about.

 

[sweep_shot]

3rd hundred for Ravindra in this WC.

Good innings.

 

[kron]

Indian crowd love these milestones huh. 100 100 sarrr I need to see 100 lol

Rachin sarrr well dun.

 

[mominsaigol]

Man I missed the mark by not choosing Williamson in my fantasy league

 

[soso_killer]

Well played young man. Crazy to think he only got his opportunity through injuries (same as Shami)

 

[lahoriyah1234]

nzl should seal their spot.

 

[Saanji]

2 very quiet over.. Pakistan coming back
Can we expect new Zealand bottling to 350??

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

An awesome 100 for Namma Kannadiga Snehlita Sahodara Rachin Ravindra...

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Babar is bad captain. But i think going forward Rizwan is the answer.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kane williamson very rarely plays innings with full of intent. He was going slow against Bangladesh i think. Here he is playing nets out there.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Rachin Ravindra performance is what Saim Ayub and Sharjeel would have done if they got a chance

As @Mamoon has already said anyone who’s not in the Pakistani side is becoming a hero by sheer virtue of not playing and being found out.

It’s not that easy to do what Rachin is doing.

 

[Farabi]

One specialist spinner is must, if required he’ll bat at 11. Shadab can be a very handy second spinner and no. 7. Also, guy has wasted his career chasing T20s - Leggis mature at older age than normal.

Do you think he doesn’t know that

 

[kron]

This boy rachin has insanely vascular forearms. Look at the musculature of his powerful forearms. Do we have any openers with this build?

 

[WengerOut]

As an Indian i am embarassed every time people bring the Indian roots of Rachin while being interviewed. Hope that stops. He plays for NZ and wants to be known as a Kiwi.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 246/1 (34 overs).

 

[Devadwal]

Rachin Ravindra performance is what Saim Ayub and Sharjeel would have done if they got a chance

Why Player's who are not playing is always great then current player's .

 

[Jazx]

Batsmans are having fun against this so called number 1 bowling line up throughout the tournament.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Bad news rauf still have 4 overs left

 

[Sunzi]

Williamsone gone on 95. Fakhar with a good catch

 

[Hawkeye]

Ton for Bangalorean brother Rachin. Such a blessing to watch it in person

Ravindra brother proving he has IND roots.

Smashing our PAK bowlers like everyone is Umar Gul 2011 to him.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

By the way i am not watching the matching. But dropping messages as and when i woke up from my sleep here in UK

 

[Devadwal]

Williamson gone for 95 . Caption knock

 

[PakFan2010]

Pakistan need 3 or 4 quick wickets now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a bummer. He did a kohli there.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rachin ravindra, Future Atg, Take a bow.

^^ I can see an atg when I meet one

 

[sweep_shot]

Forecast was showing 90% chance of rain. Not a single drop yet.
