ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan (200/1) keep their hopes of a Semi-Final berth alive with a 21 runs DLS win over New Zealand (401/6)

[CrIc_Mystique]

I've seen Jindabad vs Zindabad many times. It's dilution of urdu language. I've even heard Jebra vs Zebra. Some people just can't pronounce it. I also am yet to see a Pakistani pronounce Sri Lanka properly. It's always Shiri Lanka

and sirinath and sirikant for srinat and srikant and yadhev for yadav, sheryaas for shreyas...

If they wanted the Sh sound should have put a 'H' next to the S

 

[Asif321]

If fakhar stays for 6 overs it’s done for NZ however if he gets out early Pakistan will crumble

 

[ExpressPacer]

hmmm...its not 'one' village...you might want to bursh up on histroy....and sanskrit did'nt contribute to urdu....
you 'contribute' to something that always was there...like you 'contribute' to this site...not that this site contributes to you....
yes, i agree on the butcher bit...maybe we need to display more attention to the 'z' and pronounce jazba as jazba - that is a fair point,.....but at no point is anyone creating a new creole language...if any it was already created with urdu...
re insecurity - our civilization did a lot for the world before your lot came along...
peace dude - lets cheer for the game we both love...

enjoy bro

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

They normally have it shown on the scoreboard if rain has affected the game so hopefully they will always be aware of where they need to be.

Fair enough, wasn't aware of that

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Is it raining again?

 

[rhony]

If they wanted the Sh sound should have put a 'H' next to the S

It's more of a Siri vs Sri. Two syllables vs one

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Fakhar need to start his century again, he gets well rest, energy is back

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Much cooler conditions now. Nippy Bangalore evening air.

Very interesting chase coming up.

 

[Ali Active]

@Nikhil_cric bro whats the update on clouds

 

[ExpressPacer]

It's a T20 now

180 in 19 overs

Quite possible

Definitely easier to do it for 20 overs than 30 overs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Being a Pakistani supporter is so stressful......very shortly, we will either be on the verge of a thrilling victory, or have been bundled out for another 50 odd runs.......

as an indian - i am cheering for your guys...hope FZ gets 200

 

[hamzie]

ive heard its raining again

 

[globetrotter]

One question to DLS walla….. after rain, there is deduction in runs and over, but why no deduction in wickets? …due to that batting side always gets an advantage

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can Pakistan qualify for Semis if we beat NZ but only in the last over and NZ wins vs SL?

 

[Shafi]

Come on guys Rizwan is performing consistently, Fakhar playing 2 good knocks after countless failure. Talent wise Fakhar>Rizwan>Saud>Babar. So even in Pakistan team we have 3 better batsman than Babar. Babar has been exposed badly as a batsman and will be dropped soon in few years if other teams sending their main players against us. This guy has lack of passion and hunger to be successful.

 

[kron]

Yes it’s like a 20 over game but we not going to get 6 over of opening powerplay . However we have advantage of two set batsman .

one set batsman
other one is just there to consolidate or whatever you can call it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now it is much easier for pakistan.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric bro whats the update on clouds

Hard to say. Sunset was apparently at 5:52 . Can't make out whether its clouds or not anymore.

No drizzle anymore though.

Umpires are out now.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

if a wicket goes early...i guess pak mgmt will send iftikhar to slog some big ones

 

[Kroll]

when does game restart?

 

[Ali Active]

There is diff of 150 runs so pak needs to thrash eng for that

On what basis is rizwan > Saud as a talent .

Saud in his first oversee conditons scored a test 200 while rizzu was a persistent failure for 3 years before his 2 100's against d string aus?

I think we all need to accept the fact that if we somehow beat new zealand today , the only thing way we’re going through is if Sri Lanka beats New Zealand. Forget about run rate guys

 

[emranabbas]

Fakhar getting respect from opposition

 

[globetrotter]

Can Pakistan qualify for Semis if we beat NZ but only in the last over and NZ wins vs SL?

Lots of ifs and buts involved in it…. IMO 3rd and 4th position will be not decided till last match played

 

[kron]

120 in 60 balls is not hard to achieve at all these days.
182 in 117 is not bad at all. doable. lets see.

 

[kron]

One question to DLS walla….. after rain, there is deduction in runs and over, but why no deduction in wickets? …due to that batting side always gets an advantage

it is a flawed logic but apparently the system factors in wickets lost based on the platform set prior to the game being shortened.

 

[emranabbas]

Don't think this favoured pakistan required run rate gone up

 

[FearlessRoar]

PAK has a revised target of 342 runs in 41 Overs.

PAK requires 182 runs from 19.3 Overs

Can pak cross the line?

 

[t_kaay]

Let's see if Babar will change gears now

 

[Kroll]

Not liking these dots.

 

[Ahmed216]

PAK has a revised target of 342 runs in 41 Overs.

PAK requires 182 runs from 19.3 Overs

Can pak cross the line?

Near impossible

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hitting one six every over here is piece of cake.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Just 1 off the over

 

[globetrotter]

required run rate 9.50… a tough T20 for pak batters… they hve to play really well to win this

 

[Rana]

182 in 19 overs?

Fair

NZ deserve a proper chance to defend the top effort of making 400

 

[emranabbas]

Glad outfield is still good for batting

 

[FollowThru]

Can Pakistan qualify for Semis if we beat NZ but only in the last over and NZ wins vs SL?

Then either win against Eng by 200 or chase with 20 overs remaining.

England's win vs Aus today will make it more spicey.

 

[castortroy]

That's a Usama/Shadab type of delivery

 

[jnaveen1980]

Near impossible

May be not possible on other grounds. ON this ground it is twice easier.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fifty for babar

 

[Kroll]

4 but Babar should have went for a six with that delivery.

 

[kron]

cake boy. will he step up today or score 50 and go have biryani at home.

 

[FearlessRoar]

2 back to back fours from babar

 

[Ahmed216]

PAK has a revised target of 342 runs in 41 Overs.

PAK requires 182 runs from 19.3 Overs

Can pak cross the line?

Quite possible if sodhi keeps bowling like that

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

50 to Azam...well played champ

 

[Syed1]

Stat padding 50 done now can safely get out

 

[TheSultan]

Good start by babar

 

[kron]

Don't think this favoured pakistan required run rate gone up

it somewhat has but doable. not too bad tbh.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Back to back 4

 

[Nasty Naz]

Basically a T20 chase at this point. Sodhi will bowl plenty now as he's only bowled 2 overs so far and I think the game will be decided on how much Pakistan can hit him or if he squeezes Pakistan and takes wickets.

 

[t_kaay]

Milestone done. Lets get the job done now

 

[kron]

Stat padding 50 done now can safely get out

hahahah

 

[emranabbas]

Babar not celebrating 50?

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan should chase it with NZ having these bowlers.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fakhar is key to success for Pakistan today

 

[TheSultan]

Has to be said - really poor first delivery from Sodhi

 

[kron]

are the bowlers still allowed to finish their quota like southee and boult ? they should be right ?

 

[Nado_]

What’s southee death bowling like these days

 

[ali-abbas123]

Lovely to see Indian fans cheering for Pakistani batsmen scoring runs

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

By the way the crowd appreciated BA's 50....
you guys didnt notice....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should chase it with NZ having these bowlers.

Fakhar seems to have wood over them. They are rattled Already a weak bowling unit. It is even more weak.

 

[Kroll]

Break might help them but lets hope not.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan needs 170 off 108 balls

 

[Ahmed216]

Lovely to see Indian fans cheering for Pakistani batsmen scoring runs

I think there's huge Muslim population in Bengaluru. Not trying to say others are not appreciative

 

[kron]

fakhar's only issue is bouncer against his body. hopefully he doesnt get strangled.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sodhi will try to bowl a googly on off stump and Fakhar will go for a slog sweep only to get a top edge.

 

[JattMaula]

Bog Bobby B with intent!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need couple of 18 runs over

 

[Kroll]

170 from 108 looks tough.

 

[pratiktc]

DJ getting crowd to chant Babar Babar

 

[Nado_]

Do New Zealand have a 6th bowling option

 

[kron]

this is very doable guys. but need to have 2 big overs.

 

[mrtaim3]

are the bowlers still allowed to finish their quota like southee and boult ? they should be right ?

1 bowler can bowl 9 and others 8.

 

[pratiktc]

11 ovs of spin left. Gotta get 110 off them

 

[Nasty Naz]

Southee & Boult can only bowl maximum 7 more overs combined. 5 overs from Sodhi to go.

With NZ attack and bowling circumstances, it is doable. May depend on how much longer Fakhar can stick around.

 

[Buffet]

Fakhar seems to have wood over them. They are rattled Already a weak bowling unit. It is even more weak.

Pakistan should get these runs. I would have likes to see full game, that would have made better.

 

[Syed1]

1 bowler can bowl 9 and others 8.

Boult will defo bowl 9. In his 6th right now
