ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan (345/4) complete the highest run-chase in World Cup history to defeat Sri Lanka (344/9) by 6 wickets

[msb314]

No ball too!!!

 

[Mankaded]

Come onnnnnnnnn

 

[Major]

that is a big no ball by Madushanla. need a thread on that

 

[IAJ]

Rizwan lol

 

[DeadlyVenom]

My prediction on Abdullah came true cause I saw how he batted in Sri Lanka.

However my stance hasn't changed, Abdullah and imam opening is still suicide, Saim ayub and Abdullah need to open like I've been advocating 24/7.

Secondly get this rizzu clown put of here, bring in saud. Tired of these selfish 50's

Bro ive not seen any of your predictions come true. Same whines all the time.

The game is poised after we looked down and out and you are still whining.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

that is a big no ball by Madushanla. need a thread on that

Nah yaar the usual suspects will find a way to blame Rizwan

 

[IAJ]

Six! Rizwan!

 

[hitthestump]

Pakistan should NOT lose from here.

Abdullah and Rizwan have got us to the point where we are clear favourites.

Losing would be a choke now.

 

[TheSultan]

Abdullah - what a heron

 

[NeVerMind]

Shafique ends that big over with a 4! 19 off that over

 

[pakistanisgreat]

good over by Pak

 

[Ali Active]

whoa abdullah calm down

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Babar missed a good chance to get a 100. Got out on a nothing ball. Absolutely no threat from SL bowling till now.

 

[King_Babar]

Wowwww that was a shot of Indian batter. classsssss!!!

 

[msb314]

Yaar what batting

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What an over for Pakistan.

 

[Firebat]

This is just outstanding cricket. Saud and Iftikhar still to come, this is in our hands boiz

 

[Technics 1210]

Love Watson's commentary!

 

[160KPH]

One of the best partnerships I have seen from Pakistan in World Cup. Came when the batting was in trouble, steadied the ship, accelerated the whole innings.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan going at 6,5, Ma sha Allah

 

[Ahmed216]

Abdullah and Saud have showed what test match runs mean

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro ive not seen any of your predictions come true. Same whines all the time.

The game is poised after we looked down and out and you are still whining.

You have looked in the wrong place, everything that I have said comes true

 

[mrtaim3]

Love it!

 

[Asif321]

Srilanka attack is very inexperienced. Great batting by shafique . Visionary captain kept him out for fakhar

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 138 runs from 18 overs.

 

[cricenjoyer]

Are you stupid?had rizwan gotten out when he came in do you think we would be in this position?

These so called "fans" would much rather see our best fail rather than us win just so they can get their favourites back in team

 

[King_Babar]

Babar missed a good chance to get a 100. Got out on a nothing ball. Absolutely no threat from SL bowling till now.

Been bit unlucky in few games, and under pressure too ! Need to leave captaincy and focus on batting.

 

[IAJ]

Shot Abdullah!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Did this over changed the tide? NRR under 8

 

[7sins]

That's the over we needed now sl will bring theeksana

 

[pakistanisgreat]

they need to stay till the end. One of them has to finish the game now.

 

[mominsaigol]

Are you stupid?had rizwan gotten out when he came in do you think we would be in this position?

Abdullah is winning this game like I said he would come good. Not rizzu

 

[daytrader]

What a wonderful confidence boosting partnership. Stars are aligning

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win it from here.

138 are needed from 18 overs.

 

[King_Babar]

@Rana is hiding in some hole somewhere. He does this everytime Rizwan performs, only to come start barking about some game he doesnt.

Waiting for Rizwan to get out and Pak to loose.

 

[Justcrazy]

Srilanka attack is very inexperienced. Great batting by shafique . Visionary captain kept him out for fakhar

That is why it is must win for Pakistan , cannot afford to lose to Lanka

 

[FearlessRoar]

What a batting well played Abdullah Shafiq

 

[Asif321]

This is best Rizwan innings I have seen ever

 

[kingusama92]

This is incredible batting from both batsmen.

 

[7sins]

Last 5 overs 56 runs at 11.2 rr

 

[pakistanisgreat]

It is very well doable at this point. They need to keep the wickets on hand and play sensibly.

 

[Syed1]

If we somehow win, then watch out India lol

 

[Asad T]

soon the narrative will be "we should chase it down in 47 overs so we can get good NRR" hahah

 

[160KPH]

@Rana is hiding in some hole somewhere. He does this everytime Rizwan performs, only to come start barking about some game he doesnt.

All of the haters disappear when we perform. Do not worry, they will return next time one of players fail.

In fact, if any Indian player played an innings like this there would already be 10 threads stating that Pakistani batsmen could never play like this.

 

[shariqnoor]

Abdullah's last 50 runs has been spectacular. If he has the ability to play like this, he should never play like his first 50 runs.

Wrong time for drinks break though for Pakistan. These two need to get as many runs as possible. Cannot leave it for Iftikhar. He's a hit and miss.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like both batters woke up, hopefully they can both stick around and do more damage here

 

[Galla]

Bro ive not seen any of your predictions come true. Same whines all the time.

The game is poised after we looked down and out and you are still whining.

he changes his opinions after every match lol.Some of them are bound to come true that way.

 

[King_Babar]

This is best Rizwan innings I have seen ever

May be 2nd one, top one is always against India n T20 WC.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow sublime batting

 

[TheSultan]

Abdullah is a proper player - showing difference in class.

Riz looks like a plucky tailender

 

[mrtaim3]

Been bit unlucky in few games, and under pressure too ! Need to leave captaincy and focus on batting.

He needs to sort out that shot. He gets out too often in that way

 

[DeadlyVenom]

You have looked in the wrong place, everything that I have said comes true

I will look harder next time
Anyway the point stands. Be positive. Sport is to be enjoyed not just to run riot on percieved failures of players.

 

[Justcrazy]

Next 8 overs Pakistan need to target at least 60 more runs here

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need one more over of 15 plus.

 

[cricenjoyer]

What a mind Rizwan has. Planned this chase perfectly and help guide Shafique to his potential

Just a brilliant brilliant cricketer

Best keeper in the world and best cricketing mind in Pakistan

 

[Yati]

All those fake T20 fans hiding in their caves now. This is real cricket 50 over game takes time to build things.

 

[King_Babar]

If we somehow win, then watch out India lol

I disagree, we have habit of being casual after big win.

 

[shariqnoor]

Shane Watson and Aaron Finch have been awesome commentators. Especially Finch. His insights into the game are amazing.

 

[Smbhayi]

Seems crowd supporting Pak, BJP won't be happy

I did say pak will get good support most of the ground other than Ahmedabad.. even before wc starts..

 

[Major]

whats with the ayooo of srilankan keeper lmaooo

 

[TheSultan]

Shaffers! Revelation

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need to attack spin now.

 

[7sins]

Crucial time with theeksana on this is sl last Trump card

 

[Asad T]

The launch speed data point is really cool. Hope we get to see more of it

 

[TheSultan]

Yea cheers for the dots Riz

 

[Shafi]

To be honest Abdullah has better talent than Babar who can never play clutch innings like this!!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

they need to stop with these dots.

 

[160KPH]

To be honest Abdullah has better talent than Babar who can never play clutch innings like this!!

They’re both very talented brother, imagine next World Cup when they will both be in their peaks

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Next level batting by Shafique

 

[cricenjoyer]

Yea cheers for the dots Riz

Hurts doesn't it being proven wrong

 

[7sins]

That's more than a decent over against theeksana

 

[King_Babar]

whats with the ayooo of srilankan keeper lmaooo

A tamil version of "Ohhhh".

 

[Syed1]

Oof shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan needs to get some boundaries .

 

[pakistanisgreat]

To be honest Abdullah has better talent than Babar who can never play clutch innings like this!!

exactly. Babar can never play sweep shot. Babar needs to learn how to play spin specially sweep shot.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Oh no!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Best batting by Pakistan in ODIs since NZ 2019 WC

 

[TheSultan]

Unlucky shaffers - job done having to carry Rizwan

 

[7sins]

Rizwan needs to get some boundaries .

I think they should be careful against theeksana but target others

 

[ex-q-zit]

After the world cup irrespective of the result Pakistan needs to go with Abdullah and Siam Ayub as openers. Time to let go Fakhar and Imam
