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)

[Major]

Man we need rain while we are ahead

 

[Ahmed216]

Its coming on to the bat even better after rain

 

[emranabbas]

Day and night between fakhar and babar
And babar suppose to be the world's best batsmen

 

[Buffet]

10 runs each over is very easy here. Just play sensibly ...

 

[kron]

Do New Zealand have a 6th bowling option

rachin i think

 

[Syed1]

Last time on the weekend I woke up and tuned into a match, the first ball I saw was Babar getting out and then we lost 36-8.


Not tuning in today just following on Cricbuzz

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

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

Wow dude....seriously....you guys are hard wired

 

[Nasty Naz]

Team is elite at not capitalizing on full tosses.

Do something useful for once Babar.

 

[Kroll]

7 run over no good, need some big overs.

 

[kron]

boult trundling at 125 to 130

 

[FearlessRoar]

Six by Babar

 

[riddu]

tuk tuk azam should be only in tests from now ..unless he gets 120 SR in evrry match

 

[7sins]

Nz bowling out Boult here?

 

[kron]

Team is elite at not capitalizing on full tosses.

Do something useful for once Babar.

i am ok with even that but that annoying smirk after he misses full tosses makes me really angry.

 

[emranabbas]

Wow babar can hit a SIX

 

[amvbfm]

4-5 big overs and for the rest just sensible batting

 

[Buffet]

So many spinners overs left. Pakistan has this game with 9 wickets.

 

[JattMaula]

Bobby B

 

[Kroll]

Phewww, thought that might have been zoning in for a catch.

 

[Syed1]

This six powered by dosti yaari

 

[heddie19]

Bobbsy is going for it.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Finally some aggression from Babar. More of this please.

 

[rhony]

Key is wickets lost. Both playing very sensibly. Can score even 60 in the last 5 at 12 rpo is there are wickets in hand

 

[Nado_]

Only three more Boult overs left. Guys how is Southee death bowling these days???

 

[kron]

kane loves to lose to pakistan and australia and also to england. may that continue. please

 

[pratiktc]

C'mon bois. Don't lose your heads now. This is on

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow dude....seriously....you guys are hard wired

Am I wrong? Wasnt babar booed at Ahmedabad? Modi's state Gujarat. Hyderabad too has a sizeable Muslim population

 

[Asif321]

Sodhi bowling crap lol

 

[pratiktc]

Fakhar you beasttttttt

 

[Nasty Naz]

Fakhar so easily clapping a six. It is beautiful to watch.

 

[globetrotter]

power hitting by batters…. NZ hammered

 

[kron]

Only three more Boult overs left. Guys how is Southee death bowling these days???

trash but he is very crafy. might chuck a few slow bouncer here and there to throw you off.

 

[7sins]

Wow this is the big over we needed one more six please

 

[Kroll]

WOW!!!!!!

 

[Buffet]

It's like net practice, lol.

 

[emranabbas]

Babar telling fakhar to calm down

 

[t_kaay]

Get this run rate req dented and once its down to 7 its our game

 

[ex-q-zit]

I guess SL may now fancy a chance against this weak NZ bowling attack.

 

[batandballbattle]

smaaaaashed into the top tier

 

[kron]

fakhar you beauty.

 

[pratiktc]

Yess yess yesss

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wowowowow Fakhar. Just majestic sixes here.

 

[heddie19]

Babar Fakhar 6 6 6

 

[7sins]

3 sixes yes common fakhar

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar wants to end it in 5 overs lol.... Bhai don't get out please

 

[MMHS]

Give haris a long rope and 100+ matches and he's surpassing rizzu since haris was the one who rescued him in t20 wc.

Rizzu was a complete failure from 2015 to 2018. He had 3 years to develop before those 2 100's against d string aus.

Since then he's the pinnacle of mediocrity. You're comparing a player who has 100× games under his belt to a raw newbie who ironically still did better then him in a tournament.

As for keeping, Sarfraz isn't better then rizwan as a batsmen but he plays for the team and has more clutch innings and match winning innings then rizzu has ever had or done.

The fact an old and unfit sarfi replaced rizwan in test and top scored is enough to justify.

These insane stat pads is what causes the delusion of rizzu being good.

Rizzu and Babar are the 2 biggest frauds in Pakistan cricket his past decade, followed by imam and misbah

Bro, I have seen Haris - I'll rest discussion here...... let me watch FZ ..

 

[emranabbas]

power hitting by batters…. NZ hammered

You mean fakhar?

 

[shariqnoor]

Monstrous by Fakhar

 

[t_kaay]

Babar telling fakhar to calm down

I think he's telling him to make sure he's there at the end and we have this

 

[shariqnoor]

Fakhar needs to score 200 here.

 

[IndoorCricket]

NZ looks deflated.

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan has this game in bag.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

PAK now favourites to chase. Ball is coming on beautifully.

 

[soso_killer]

This is carnage. Why didn't they bring in replacements?

 

[t_kaay]

143 off 96

 

[kingusama92]

Incredible hitting from Fakhar. The man is a beast.

 

[Nasty Naz]

20 run over. Great stuff.

Like I said before, I think Sodhi overs will make or break Pakistan's team. If they keep thrashing him like this, chase is very much on.

 

[globetrotter]

If NZ not takes wkt in next 2 overs… then match is over for NZ

 

[searacer932]

Good chase by Pakistan. The reduced target makes the match situation in favor of Pakistan

 

[kron]

I guess SL may now fancy a chance against this weak NZ bowling attack.

they need henry who i still think is nothing special but he is their best in this lineup
henry boult lockie is the best lineup for them.
southee is way too old and washed
jamieson is crap in odi but gets bounce but wont be enough
tickner etc all trash. milne is a t20 bowler.

 

[emranabbas]

I can see rain

 

[Buffet]

Fakhar has done enough to take the game away. Even if he gets out, others can score rest of the runs. Not many runs left with 9 wickets.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Its raining again.

 

[pratiktc]

10 more ovs of spin bois

 

[t_kaay]

Raining ?

 

[pillionrider]

ZOMGGGG

Just play Dil Dil Pakistan there. They've earned it

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Am I wrong? Wasnt babar booed at Ahmedabad? Modi's state Gujarat. Hyderabad too has a sizeable Muslim population

i am totally against the booing. i am totally for indian crowds to support and appreciate the oppositions. i have lived in ahmedabad which has more masjids and anjuman schools than probably your province. i have several muslim friends in ahmedabad who would gladly cheer for their dharti maa bharat, two of whom are in our defence forces and guess where they are posted....
any ways - lovers of real skilled cricket know no boundaries - irrespective of what faith they follow...i know its hard for you guys to understand this - hence why i said you are hard wired....

 

[Buffet]

Rain is coming here....

 

[Syed1]

Its raining again.

How we doing on DLS

 

[hamzie]

raining iA

 

[globetrotter]

It’s drizzling niw

 

[Kroll]

Fakhar has done enough to take the game away. Even if he gets out, others can score rest of the runs. Not many runs left with 9 wickets.

The others might fold but this guy has balls of steel. He needs to keep going.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Appears it is raining again and I think reduced overs may benefit Pakistan even more but I am not 100% sure what the DLS calculations look like.

 

[soso_killer]

Drizzling

 

[DeadlyVenom]

21 runs ahead on DLS

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Drizzling again.

 

[pakistani pride]

Drizzling

then stop it already...

 

[pillionrider]

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

lol just enjoy the chase man and don't hurt your brain too much

 

[t_kaay]

How we doing on DLS

20 Ahead
