ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan (286 all out) easily beat Netherlands (205 all out) by 81 runs in Hyderabad

[apnapind]

Even the change to bring on Ifti that brought the wicket was not some super inspired change. That has always been Babar predecided formula. Wait for 10 overs to be over to take off the second new ball bowler to bring on a spinner. Does not matter if opposition is 30/3 or 100/0.

What do you want babar to do he is attacking with ifti now what else can he do here?

He did bring on spinner we were not expecting though.

 

[sam_ahm]

Pakistan have tightened the acrews. A little more pressure and Netherlands will struggle.

Much better pitch this with something in it for both Batters and Bowlers.

 

[mominsaigol]

We haven even brought spinners in and they are struggling.

Wont even know how to play spinners.

100 is a bold claim considering their just 42 runs away.

Pakistan isn't that good that we'll take 42/ 8 .

Especially considering chacha is our best spinner atm lol.

 

[adi_62941]

no slip for nawaz

 

[kron]

Does anyone else dislike harsha?

 

[Syed1]

Loving the super dark green of the kit tho

 

[Syed1]

Does anyone else dislike harsha? he is so annoying and cringey.

Worst part is he is always in the comm box in a crucial India vs Pak moment when we are losing.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

keep it tight

 

[shariqnoor]

NL need to get a move on here. RRR is already 6.5. They cannot afford to let this slip to 7.

 

[heddie19]

It was a catch ifti.

 

[King_Babar]

That was quick, de Leede looks committed, can't take him lightly at all.

 

[Nado_]

Chacha too slow to react

 

[LegendAli]

NL need to get a move on here. RRR is already 6.5. They cannot afford to let this slip to 7.

Are you living in Amsterdam or Mumbai?

 

[adi_62941]

field is open up. very few close up fielders. single double is on.

 

[7sins]

Bad over from iftikhar just replace him with shadab

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shadab will probably bowl when Netherlands are 5 or 6 down and have lost the match.

 

[amvbfm]

got O’Dowd, now need to get de leede quickly. the rest of their batsmen can be contained. de Leede and edwards will be the key imo.

 

[Yati]

What do you want babar to do he is attacking with ifti now what else can he do here?

These negative/complaining about everything fans want pakistan to score 500 every game and wrap up the opposition in 10 overs with Babar trying a different bowler every over. Doesn't matter what decisions he's making someone is always there to say pakistan sucks.

 

[adi_62941]

looking all easy for NL.

 

[Syed1]

field is open up. very few close up fielders. single double is on.

Typical Babar captaincy. Open up the field and allow 1/2 every ball.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Six

 

[amvbfm]

Some shot that

 

[castortroy]

Shot of the match

 

[FearlessRoar]

Required RR: 6.30, Netherlands need 210 runs from 33.2 overs.

 

[shah_1]

What a shot

 

[7sins]

De leede 4 wickets and now hitting boundaries last 2 overs gone for runs things ar evolving for nl

 

[jattafridi]

Need Bas de leede wicket asap

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab will probably bowl when Netherlands are 5 or 6 down and have lost the match.

Are you sure they will lose the match?

 

[shah_1]

If Shadab doesn't bowl well, Usama Mir should replace him

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Partnership is building nicely, need to break quickly

 

[shortbread]

Need to make sure Singh doesn't get out as he helps increasing the RRR, he's like their Imam!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Are you sure they will lose the match?

The thing with associates is that they are after all associates.

They may have small moments but chasing 300 in first game of World Cup against a Test nation is simply not possible.

 

[mominsaigol]

Shadab will probably bowl when Netherlands are 5 or 6 down and have lost the match.

That 100 max prediction ain't looking too good.

Learn from me, just like I was wrong about Abdullah, all predictions won't come true my dude.

 

[Syed1]

Last 2 overs great for NL.


Lame defensive captaincy

 

[jattafridi]

Exciting match

Come on boys u can do it

 

[shariqnoor]

I'm a big critic of Babar's captaincy but it's started to become fashionable to criticize his captaincy if Pakistan isn't getting a wicket every 2nd or 3rd over.

There's been nothing wrong with his captaincy so far. The bowlers need to take responsibility as well.

 

[emranabbas]

Need to make sure Singh doesn't get out as he helps increasing the RRR, he's like their Imam!

Imam as in imam ul haq or imam as a leader

 

[PakPremi]

Haris should had bowled couple overs more, spinners will allow de Leede to settle in well.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar allowing the opposition come back into the match and taking it deep.

Where were you during the asia cup mate?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bas is their main hope. Need him out or he can go massive.

 

[amvbfm]

Typical Babar captaincy. Open up the field and allow 1/2 every ball.

It’s a pretty big ground. Can‘t do much

Typical Babar captaincy. Open up the field and allow 1/2 every ball.

awful tactics as always. On a ground this big you are guaranteeing them riskless 6-7 an over which is all they need.

 

[m.shah]

Bas De leede is a wonderful player

 

[Omer2002]

as i said flat flat wicket that score was never enough.

 

[7sins]

Usama would have been a better option here but let's see shadab

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

VC to bowl

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bas is their main hope. Need him out or he can go massive.

Leede will lead his team to victory if he goes big

 

[m.shah]

Babar is pretty average captain

 

[shariqnoor]

Where were you during the asia cup mate?

I'm talking about this match so far.

 

[Nado_]

Shadab first bowl full half volley

 

[emranabbas]

One bad over And chacha is off

 

[shortbread]

Decent batting by Shadab today, hopefully will rub off on his bowling as well.

 

[7sins]

as i said flat flat wicket that score was never enough.

Yup about 65-70 runs short

 

[shah_1]

Short pitch rubbish bowling from Shadab

 

[emranabbas]

I'm talking about this match so far.

This match he's been ok so far

 

[castortroy]

Shadab starting with 1 long hop and 1 half volley in first over

 

[MenInG]

Babar is pretty average captain

Strange but comms have praised Babar

 

[shah_1]

Yup about 65-70 runs short

Against NL?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Its a flat wicket. 286 is definitely below par and NED look very comfortable right now.

 

[Devadwal]

Good first over .keep the tight line

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lay loo wicket yaar

 

[emranabbas]

Strange but comms have praised Babar

That's their job they will praise anyone

 

[castortroy]

This is the period where babar captaincy gets questioned. This is a minnow, set more attacking fields

 

[shah_1]

Usama Mir was the best bowler in the Warm up yet he can't play

Defensive mindset

 

[emranabbas]

Need to get chacha back in

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Nawaz is just become an arm bowler. He doesn't spin the ball and looks out of confidence. Already going at 6+ an over.

 

[castortroy]

Usama Mir was the best bowler in the Warm up yet he can't play

Defensive mindset

He bowls a lot of pies also

 

[Amjid Javed]

This will go down as pakistans most shameful world cup defeat. Surpassing Ireland and Bangladesh defeats

 

[Nado_]

Babar is pretty average captain

It’s easy to scrutinise captains but I say this with no exaggeration, Babar is the worst captain I’ve seen for Pakistan

 

[Syed1]

This is where education would have played a part. Illiterate captain making the same mistake he has made since day one. Spread the field and allow teams to get easy 6/7 runs an over.

 

[mominsaigol]

Strange but comms have praised Babar

No only ramiz raja has, lol and he's in the comms

 

[Ali Active]

Babar will just bowl nawaz and shadab from each end and release the pressure.

 

[castortroy]

Going down leg

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan Lost Review. it's not out. Singh survived.

 

[Devadwal]

Pretty close . maybe hitting leg stumps

 

[Kriketer]

Does anyone else dislike harsha?

Worse than Athar Ali and Waqar, can't stand Harsha

 

[PakPremi]

I am sure that was spinning in not out.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Poor review

 

[aukhan]

It’s easy to scrutinise captains but I say this with no exaggeration, Babar is the worst captain I’ve seen for Pakistan

He makes Yousuf look like a genius.
