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)

[kron]

What would the required Duckworth Lewis score be after 20, provided Pakistan don't lose a wicket

Around 150 160 if we lose just 1 or 2 wickets I would imagine. 200 if we lose 3

 

[MANU ROY]

enough of respecting Glenn Phillips

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Our only hope Fakhar Zaman

 

[heddie19]

tuk tuk azam destroyed pak cricket

Anchor? Ever heard of it?

 

[soso_killer]

How many meters was that 6?

The first one

 

[kron]

Hey what's the distance for the 6? Only 93? We sure, looked every bit as big as iyer's 104 m

 

[saqib.rai]

FAKHAR ZAMAN. Shame on everyone who criticized him

 

[iRfaN_LA]

is rain coming? some dark clouds on the way. I hope not

 

[Swashbuckler]

Selecting Imam over Fakhar, only in Pakistan.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Doesn't matter what Fakhar does

The moment he gets out, Legwan will destroy all momentum

 

[Ahmed216]

They replaced fakhar for rizwan in t20 opening? Lol

Check fakhar's stats as an opener before Rizwan and also his overall T20 record. He's poor in the format

 

[mominsaigol]

Classic. Did he play vs SA? Can't even remember actually.

He didn't

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakahr has already hit 6 sixes in this innings. Fabulous comeback for him. Imam will be biting his nails off

 

[emranabbas]

Anchor? Ever heard of it?

Chasing 400+ heard of it?

 

[globetrotter]

Pak 106/1 in 15 overs …. India v/s Pakistan 1st semi-final in Mumbai loading

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Babar needs to stop playing for himself. He keeps eating dots and is not even run a ball.

 

[Kroll]

Oh no Babz doing tuk tuk no game awareness.

 

[Major]

acording to my calculations
140ish/1 in 20th over
160ish/2 in 20th over

 

[kron]

Can't believe this guy was dropped

He didn't

I am sure we would have beaten him if he played. No excuses but this is clear to me.

 

[Fazzy321]

Selecting Imam over Fakhar, only in Pakistan.

He was immensely out of form as you saw in Asia Cup that time off did him wonders

 

[heddie19]

Chasing 400+ heard of it?

How many times have this run been chased in WCs? Tell me about ODIs even

 

[kron]

acording to my calculations
140ish/1 in 20th over
160ish/2 in 20th over

Yep I had the exact same figures.
150/1 though
And would say 170 for /2

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Babar could be 2 from 12 chasing 500 and his cultist fans would be like

"Anchor? Ever heard of it"

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar really need to help Fakhar here. going under 90 strike rate is nor good

 

[msb314]

How many times have this run been chased in WCs? Tell me about ODIs even

This will be the second highest oDI chase of acjieved

 

[emranabbas]

How many times have this run been chased in WCs? Tell me about ODIs even

There's always a first

 

[mominsaigol]

Check fakhar's stats as an opener before Rizwan and also his overall T20 record. He's poor in the format

Brother enough with the stats nonsense.

You don't replace a guy who of he performs will win you games over a guy who consistently performs and makes you lose games.

Minus b and c string attacks how many times has rizwan bottled it?

Aus semi final
Asia cup final
All of 2022 wc
List goes on and on.

Fakhar is the best batsmen for Pakistan. I've argued this to death and won.

Win a tournament for your country against your rival nation and then discuss whether rizzu deserves the same mantle as fakhar.

 

[Major]

Anchor? Ever heard of it?

mayray bhai, you dont anchir when you need to score 400+ or cross the dls which is 40-60 runs away on 5 overs

 

[heddie19]

Can someone tell D/L par score for 20 overs?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Babar needs to hit boundaries

 

[Ali Active]

Rain go away please

 

[Ali T]

fakhar looking really good but we need a bit score from him today

 

[globetrotter]

Can someone tell D/L par score for 20 overs?

200

 

[NeVerMind]

Good to see main priorities remain unchanged which in the current situation is Babar getting his 50 irrespective of the strike rate

 

[kron]

He was immensely out of form as you saw in Asia Cup that time off did him wonders

Boult - good but outside opening spell is average
Southee - trundler
Sodhi - mediocre
Santner - good but nothing special
Phillips is a part time. He needs ti be thrashed in reality. Gets lucky cause players don't want to get caught out in the deep
Rachin? He should go for 100 here.

 

[Varun]

Yet again Babar is slowing down the momentum while Fakhar blasts off at the other end.

 

[Kroll]

Babar yaar what is this?!

 

[emranabbas]

How many times have this run been chased in WCs? Tell me about ODIs even

There's every chance of it at the moment 9 an over is required quicker we reduce the asking run rate better for the incoming batsmen

 

[Major]

If we lose to dls by 20th over, Babar is to be blamed. what a tool this guy is

 

[ExpressPacer]

Man Babar is putting so much pressure on Fakhar with his tuktuk

 

[shah_1]

Buzdil e Azam

 

[m.shah]

Match loosing inning by babar

 

[sweep_shot]

7th six from Fakhar.

Fakhar has now scored 14 sixes in 2 games. Incredible.

 

[Kroll]

Sixerrrrrrrrrr

 

[globetrotter]

Pak to score 142/1 in 20 over as per D/L methid

 

[hamzie]

i hope it rains and we win by DLS

 

[t_kaay]

142/1 at 20 overs

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar hits another massive six, followed by a 4!

 

[Kroll]

Babar also needs to go on attack if this is to be chased

 

[MANU ROY]

Fakhar Zaman

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ need to bowl 3.2 more overs to ensure a game.

 

[shah_1]

Dalher e Zaman

 

[Rana]

The mayor…

 

[ExpressPacer]

Tuk tuk-e-Azam

 

[Ali Active]

fakhar e pakistan

 

[TheSultan]

Pure class by Fakhar.

Let’s hope babar stops hampering him

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar is unleashing his inner beast... excellent

 

[kron]

142/1 is the score needed at 20 overs confirmed by ian smith
162/2 in 20 if 2 wickets fall
useless babar

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar is on 84* already!

This is only the 17th over.

 

[MenInG]

Phillips ko rulla diya!

Wow Fakhar.

 

[ExpressPacer]

It’s a shame that Babar can’t even get off strike immediately. Has to always play a dot before taking a single. Absolute deadweight

 

[kron]

babar is putting immense pressure on fakhar. someone slap this man. wake up buddy. what are you doing ??

 

[ex-q-zit]

This knock giving vibes of the 190 he scored against SA while chasing a mammoth total. Fakhar holds the key for this chase.

 

[Ahmed216]

Brother enough with the stats nonsense.

You don't replace a guy who of he performs will win you games over a guy who consistently performs and makes you lose games.

U're mixing formats I'll say it again.
Don't be agenda driven all the time

 

[batandballbattle]

glenn getting the treatment, whatta comeback this is by fakhar

 

[Aviator]

Stupid management should be sacked just for not picking up a big match player like Fakhar Zaman...when his replacements were imam and abdullah...

 

[kron]

thats how you treat trundlers and part timers. thank you.

fakhar love

what a beauty.

 

[pratiktc]

And Pak played Imam ahead of Fakhar

 

[t_kaay]

Let's hope the dugout can convey the d/l score to them.....

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Imam must be confused watching this batting from Zaman

 

[ExpressPacer]

babar is putting immense pressure on fakhar. someone slap this man. wake up buddy. what are you doing ??

Bro if we lose this match, it will purely be because of Babar. I have not seen a worse “number 1” “world class” batsman in my life.

 

[cricket.mad]

Rain about to start!!..pitch dark outside

 

[Rana]

Babar cowarding away

 

[pillionrider]

I hope Mickey does something useful for a change and regularly updates the batsmen where they need to be at different points wrt score. This could well be curtailed or even washed out. Don’t know if the rules allow the lights to be turned on and play to be extended like this were a d/n
If Pakistan have the ability to achieve those targets, good for them. Would be pathetic if they fall short because they were unaware

Someone seems to have sent a msg to Fakhar

 

[Aviator]

Babar azam waiting for 40th over, then he will score 200 in last 10 overs..

 

[Civil]

Respect to the crowd shots, very sporting crowd!

 

[Ahmed216]

Santner darts one in finally

 

[ex-q-zit]

He hasn't hit a boundary for 24 balls.

 

[batandballbattle]

that last over may have been a way to get closer to the D/L score required, it's pretty gloomy out there rn

 

[Shafi]

Babar is just playing for hi stat!!! Such a self guy!!!
