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

Pak's game to lose now.
NL had this game but going to rue those gifted wickets now except
 
Babar has rightly gone to his first choice pace to get a wicket. Now if Shaheen doesn't take a wicket, it's not Babar's fault. But then people will criticize Babar for keeping spin overs to the last.
 
Looks like Shadab has gained a pip in his step. Much better line/length instead of those full tosses. He's getting turn too now.

If he is truly back to being the Shadab we know, Pakistan bowling attack might be fine.

Shaheen and Hasan Ali look absolutely toothless, so there's that.
 
Lol. NED are not chasing this without Edwards. This is done and dusted. Rauf made sure of that.
Edwards was a huge wicket. However Logan Van Beek and De Leede can wreak havoc themselves. This is far from over.
 
Nawaz just darting only. If he is suppose to bowl like that then why not Imad Wasim who is 100 times better defensive bowler than him. Yaar DOSTI captain
 
The required RR is slowly building for the Netherlands, sooner or later, they will need to try to up the rate

Feel like Nawaz will be dropped and rightly so despite his batting performance, looked worse than Shadab. At least Shadab has bowled some wicket taking deliveries despite being inconsistence.
 
We all know that today's performance was unconving and pathetic at best
This is the limitation of this team , I do not understand how Mickey is boasting so much , Pakistan are behind world cricket right now. Every one saying Fakhar is match winner , how many matches you can keep playing him !

Exactly I would rather play Haris as opener and let him throw his wicket away than keep on playing fakhar who have definitely lost it
 
i do not know why ifti was smiling after dropping a dolly and possibly decisive catch of the match

Bro mickey said imam ul haq is a top 5 odi batsmen of the world. He's an idiot beyond epic proportions if the coach actually claimed that 😂.
 
It's amazing how if the father was an average cricketer, the son turns out to be a brilliant one. And if the father was a great one, the son is always a dud cricketers.

Chris Broad / Stuart Broad
Rod Latham / Tom Latham
Tim de Leede / Bas de Leede
Sachin Tendulkar / Arjun Tendulkar
Yojraj Singh / Yuvraj Singh
Interesting that in football the son is never as good as the father
 
Maybe bowl rauf out here, try and clean them up so our RR is ok
 
Why I remember Van der merwe from like 2-3 WCs ago? Is he the same player or that's just such a common name in NL
 
Now imagine if we had Naseem, Shaheen would get a breather and then Naseem would have come on. No respite for the opposition.


Naseem is arguably a bigger loss than Waqar in 92
 
Pakistan will win this game but they will unfortunately take nothing away from here
Disagree. Winning is a habit and this will improve the mood in the dressing room a lot.

Having said that the next game is absolutely key. If we lose, heads will
drop back again.

He is young there will be more WC games for him just pray he gets back full fit asap

A lot of teams have injuries . Australia missed warne in 2003 WC , was there a bigger bowler than him ?

Naseem injury is because of non stop playing same combination every game, Pakistan has zero player management.
 
best delivery nawaz has bowled all day
just a touch of turn to take the off pole
if he can keep his all rounder abilities up against non associates I may start to rate him

I think Saud's batting. Shadab and Nawaz partnership. Then both getting some semblance of bowling form and Haris's aggression are good positives from the game.


Babar dumb captaincy. Openers being duds. Alrounder Hasan Ali being just all round bad are some of the negatives.

Was he not banned by ACB?

Hasan bowled ok with new ball but other teams will feast on 80 mph stuff.
 
Truth is without Naseem we look like an ordinary bowling attack. Naseem is our best bowler by far. Keep its tight, good pace and loads of passion. Sometimes doesn’t get the wickets but his tight bowling helps others take wickets
 
Who remembers Neil Johnson from Zimbabwe. He used to carry the side on his shoulders. As a young kid I used to be like this both opens the batting and bowling for his side what a selfish player loool.


Today De Leede played like Neil Johnson single handedly carrying the side.
