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

[vodafone_lover]

Why every single person is blaming it on bowling first decision, this ground is a treat to play even in lights. It's the bowling to blame for, clueless PAK bowlers.

 

[hur rizvi]

Tru agha jaan instead of chacha jaan

 

[Usman Chadda]

Should have batted first on this pitch, specially considering the NRR permutations.

Tactical blunder by Babar.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf is in the attack.

Rauf is not suitable for this type of pitch. Too flat.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Surprisingly Ladoo has been very economical, not much wickets but not too many runs either.

 

[rickroll]

With each ball I feel like our world cup chances are fading away more and more. Babar is trying everyone in desperate mode.

 

[chinaman00]

Rauf in the attack. The kiwi openers will milk him like a fat cow.

 

[hur rizvi]

Mr 150 freebie first over coming on

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar again did a mistake today like in the match against Australia, ... same pitch..bengaluru, won the toss and bowled first, every bowler gets punished in that match""

He never learns , tween captain for 4 years now but still same mistakes and looks like a new captain.
Wrong person given full power and authority as captain, if he was Ponting then understand his demand for authority but he is equally meek as Azhar ali on the field.

Gave the ball to Shami, Siraj or bumrah and they will teach immediately how to bowl on this batting surface.

Ikr plus what will morsel teach them exactly dude had no control over his bowling during his career

I am seriously hoping for PAK win to destroy them once again in this WC but these Speed obsessed bowlers...uffff

 

[Sunzi]

Good from Fakhar to spare Rauf from his customary first ball boundary.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Should have batted first on this pitch, specially considering the NRR permutations.

Tactical blunder by Babar.

Have we batted first, we be down 2 wickets by now. This team just doesn't have it in it. Almost went for first ball 4.

 

[ArabKnight]

Rachindra!

LOL.

Maybe that’s gonna be Rachin’s son’s name.

 

[BaaliSoda]

On this pitch, Indian pacers would have bowled lot more closer to the off stump line or wicket to wicket style ball.

Pak pacers are missing a trick here.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Customary 15+ run over , that was a good stop from Fakhar

 

[hur rizvi]

Anything less then 3 boundaries is a successful first over

 

[MMHS]

Should have batted first on this pitch, specially considering the NRR permutations.

Tactical blunder by Babar.

They had no options- playing with four pacers and two part-time spinners. Bowling first was decided for an unbalanced playing XI

 

[aboveandbeyond]

This Pakistan attack is overrated.

 

[Sunzi]

It took 3 balls but the boundary came. Great shot through backward point.

 

[Aman]

On this pitch, Indian pacers would have bowled lot more closer to the off stump line or wicket to wicket style ball.

Pak pacers are missing a trick here.

Yep thats how you shut us down and we weren't able to score anything in the first 10.

 

[ArabKnight]

Rauf on. Rate about to rise.

He needs to bowl 155kmph to get wickets.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Need a wicket.

 

[daytrader]

Rauf knowing he will be targeted needs to use it to his advantage. Come on break this partnership

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris comes in and bowls 2 good deliveries and third one was a freebi....poor

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Is there any bowler in Pakistan team currently hitting 150s? Speed not runs

 

[hur rizvi]

On this pitch, Indian pacers would have bowled lot more closer to the off stump line or wicket to wicket style ball.

Pak pacers are missing a trick here.

The difference in quality. Wicket to wicket bowling is a great skill which our lot just doesn't have

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Tru agha jaan instead of chacha jaan

salman ahga? is he a bowler?

 

[Aman]

If you don't get Conway out early, he'll punish you. Don't see him getting out much once he crosses 50.

 

[hur rizvi]

Haris comes in and bowls 2 good deliveries and third one was a freebi....poor

First one was a boundary stopped by fakhar

 

[sweep_shot]

Good start from the Kiwis. They saw off Shaheen threat and are going at almost 7 an over.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We as usual make unknowns know players and bring out of form players back to form.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Terribly bowling by Afridi and Hasan. Spraying it all over. Pathetic after opting to bowl first. Really annoying to watch.

 

[kron]

They are smashing now

 

[Sunzi]

On this pitch, Indian pacers would have bowled lot more closer to the off stump line or wicket to wicket style ball.

Pak pacers are missing a trick here.

It's not a trick. It's called skill, probably intelligence aswell.

This is basic cricket, boys

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

[chinaman00]

If Pakistan is bowling this rubbish on a virtual eliminator game, then they don’t deserve to advance to the semis. Absolutely no intent or discipline.

 

[7sins]

Abrar would have been such a key bowler here bit don't know why we are still holding shadab he surely can't recover in time

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

When it is so obvious that a long WC in indian conditions, pitches will take spin and you also know that Angrez teams aint that flash against spin, your management and pcb selectors should be blamed for not picking Abrar Ahmed.

 

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

salman ahga? is he a bowler?

He’s a bowler like Iftikhar is a bowler

 

[MMHS]

Why every single person is blaming it on bowling first decision, this ground is a treat to play even in lights. It's the bowling to blame for, clueless PAK bowlers.

That’s true, but this is a day game - I’m sure not many here has seen a day game at Bangalore…. I have seen. Though it was one ball era, still with two balls, in the afternoon session, it won’t be easy to chase, unless it rains.

Bowlers are bowling poorly for sure - no excuse to concede like 70%+!runs on leg side

 

[Aman]

Haven't shown that much intent and are scoring at over a run a ball. This pitch is damn good.

How is atmosphere?

High IQ matters and india shows that when they play

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Good start from the Kiwis. They saw off Shaheen threat and are going at almost 7 an over.

What threat? He bowled pathetically.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 66/0 (10 overs).

First 10 overs belonged to NZ.

 

[7sins]

Easy 7 run an over going for nz

 

[hur rizvi]

Rauf conceded less than 15. Game on

 

[Ali T]

Not a good start from Pakistan.
Concerned about a lack of spinning options for this game but doesn't seem like we had any better alternatives than to play 4 fast bowlers.

 

[BaaliSoda]

At least one halwa ball per over from the bowlers.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

It was right decision by Babar to bowl first here in Chinnaswamy.
Newzealand are playing with only 2 pacer and 2 spinner and rest are part timers.
On this tiny ground, where rain predicted against not so good bowling lineup, Pakistan has chance to chase anything

 

[hur rizvi]

Finish off with a bad ball. Not sure why we are compelled to bowl one bad ball, got lucky that it was not a 4

They are not capable of bowling good lines

 

[7sins]

At least one halwa ball per over from the bowlers.

The theme of Pakistan bowlers in recent matches and nobody have worked on it. It's shocking

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Taking singles on good balls, this be a dot ball for us 100 out od 100 times.

 

[vodafone_lover]

The difference in quality. Wicket to wicket bowling is a great skill which our lot just doesn't have

Speed ka chakkar babu bhaiya, speed ka chakkar

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Not a bad power play for Pakistan on a flat pitch but need a wicket.

 

[hur rizvi]

Rachin clearly has issues with short ball

 

[IndoorCricket]

Easy scoring by these two

 

[Sunzi]

Predictor is 324.

Feels like more. Mitchell to come

 

[Savak]

This is this team's 8th ODI game in India. By now they should have learnt how to bowl in India.

 

[Sunzi]

Conway gone!

 

[imshally81]

Better bowling by Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan fast bowling has been overrated on this forum.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Finally Hassan has done it

 

[Sunzi]

Again with the "Rachindra" lol.

 

[Asif321]

Hasan strikes . Why Rizwan having poker face ?

 

[sweep_shot]

Gone.

Hasan gets Conway.

 

[imshally81]

Finally....

 

[Suleiman]

Good. Keep the pressure on, and stop giving up. This is a 100 over game not t20 Mickey Mouse.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

wow hassan got a wicket, wow i am impressed.

 

[PakPremi]

Hasan gets a wicket, apart from one over he has been on mark today

 

[BouncerGuy]

Conway is gone for 35. New Zealand is 68 for 1

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Rooting Pakistan to win this match.
Come on..

 

[hur rizvi]

Rachindra

Waqar on a roll

 

[mominsaigol]

@GLORY OF '92 This is what I was saying. Nz would not be a walk in the park, like everyone was acting to be.

We beat the weakest sides of the tournament but our bowling sucks if we face quality bats.

Just hope babar punishes ish sodhi today like he always does. And fakhar capitalises.

 

[emranabbas]

Need to get jatindra out now

 

[Justcrazy]

Hassan Ali gets his 100th wicket in OD

 

[chinaman00]

Hassan Ali is the only bowler bowling with some brains and it’s no wonder he got rewarded with a wicket.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are playing 4 pacers today!

May end up with slow over rate.

 

[7sins]

Finally a wicket lucky one
