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

[King_Babar]

Blinder at point !! we are not chasing it.

 

[7sins]

Target pathirana he's all over the place

 

[amirm]

That was an immense catch, I can't lie.

 

[Saanji]

Come on pakistan.. this chase will be legendary

 

[daytrader]

Praying no collapse now

 

[Major]

that was a great catch to remove Abdullah.

Biw runrate can go down as new batter is coming in

 

[Sherazkhalid]

oh my God what a catch, wow.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan at 213/2 at 33 overs.Pakistan need 132 in 17 overs to defeat Sri Lanka

 

[160KPH]

Great innings Abdullah Shafique! You did your job!!

Rizwan needs to play through and let Saud, Iftikhar, Nawaz, and Shadab attack.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Maybe send nawaz as pinch hitter

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Wrong man out for Pakistan.

 

[Technics 1210]

Hats off, that was a superb catch.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

wrong time to get out

 

[mominsaigol]

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

This part is true to some extent, I do change my opinions but that does not mean I do it every match.

I predicted saud and Abdullah would come good and everyone called me a fanboy before but now that they are performing everyone is acting like their were always chads.

Rizzu is playing like he always plays, he needs hand holding.

 

[Devadwal]

No problem Pakistan still have lots of batting. Just take it deep now

 

[7sins]

Oh no that's the only way sl could have gotten out Abdullah I hope others batters comes to party

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nope its Shakeel. Come on lad make us proud!!

 

[ex-q-zit]

What a catch. Hemantha take a bow

 

[LegendAli]

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

I agree but they're both on the top of that almost irrelevant fastest to 3000 runs list, will it be easy to discard them?

 

[Firebat]

What a knock from Adbullah. Over to Saud and Ifti to close this out

 

[Sherazkhalid]

totally against the play, let's hope it doesn't dash the chase.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Fantastic knock by Abdullah

One of the best in Pakistan world cup history

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan needs to take responsibility here

 

[7sins]

I hope saud don't play dots and keep the score ticking

 

[run-out]

No problem Pakistan still have lots of batting. Just take it deep now

Wicket falls and you came back

 

[boomboomcheema]

Now a new batsman will have to start from scratch. Also next is Chacha who is horrible with taking singles

 

[7sins]

5 widespread released the pressure

 

[TheSultan]

Tricky spell for Saud. Needs a bit of time to get used to pathirana trajectory - but as I say that he bowls an ugly wide

 

[sweep_shot]

5-wides.

SL have been untidy with extras today.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 wides , lucky runs for Pakistan , they need generosity from lanka

 

[TheSultan]

SL choking here a bit

 

[Smbhayi]

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

You often say that you are not a Rizwan hater, but most of your posts are unnecessarily critical of him..

 

[160KPH]

Hoping for Rizwan’s big 100 today

 

[7sins]

5-wides.

SL have been untidy with extras today.

Mainly pathirana the culprit but I won't complain

 

[topspin]

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

Please make one and feel free to add a selfie as well - like you did when you met Saeed Ahmed.

 

[Markhor]

Maybe send nawaz as pinch hitter

Got to trust your specialist batsmen here. Maybe if RRR was 10+ then yeah worth sending a pinch hitter in.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 125 runs in 99 balls.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need to win this game, one way or the other for any hope to make it to semis.

 

[happydavy]

Pakistan has proved all naysayers wrong in the last 10 overs. Now it's upto to Rizvan and otherd to ensure it stays that way.

 

[Major]

Wicket falls and you came back

he wants pakistan to loose, so keeps coming here just to make fun.

 

[7sins]

6 runs from wides

 

[sweep_shot]

RRR is now 7.59. Under control.

 

[Technics 1210]

Saud must rotate.

Rizwan hit the boundaries.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan needs to bat through till end now

 

[TheSultan]

SL need to take off Pathirana

 

[FearlessRoar]

Abdullah Shafique 113 (103) with 10 fours and 3 sixes. A quality innings in the massive run chase

 

[Major]

Please make one and feel free to add a selfie as well - like you did when you met Saeed Ahmed.

oh right Pakistan performing well today, so need to find another way to get at me..

 

[King_Babar]

I have no faith in Ifti, Shadab and Nawaz, even if it is 50 of last 5.

 

[hitthestump]

Saud has time to settle and then should get going.

Rizwan to bat through til the end.

 

[7sins]

Saud doing well not wasting deliveries

 

[Technics 1210]

The haters make an appearance as a wicket falls but were dead silent suring the near 200 run partnership.

 

[cricenjoyer]

Saud must rotate.

Rizwan hit the boundaries.

Nah with Rizwan being set he needs to play all overs with the incoming batsmen going for boundaries

 

[160KPH]

I’ve noticed this group of crickets like Saud, Abdullah, Rizwan, they don’t let the pressure get to them. Just keep going along.

 

[topspin]

oh right Pakistan performing well today, so need to find another way to get at me..

I'm actually complimenting you for a good thread that was and to continue the good work you do here. Don't understand why you've got so triggered here.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Make 260 by 40 by taking singles and doubles. Target 85 runs in last 10. No harm in that.

 

[Smbhayi]

Abdullah is a proper player - showing difference in class.

Riz looks like a plucky tailender

It doesn't matter how they scored, only matters do they scores?

 

[m.shah]

How is Pakistan getting this much support here. Looks like Lahore

 

[Stewie]

Three players who are going to mess up this chase will surely be Imam, abdullah and Iftikhar

 

[Sycamore]

Chants of Jeetega baye Jeetega Pakistan jeetega in India! WOW

 

[Syed1]

Wow crowd chanting jeetay ga bhai jeetay ga Pakistan jeetay ga

 

[7sins]

Have to target de silva

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 115 runs in 92 balls.

Need to keep rotating the strike for next 5 overs

 

[mominsaigol]

You often say that you are not a Rizwan hater, but most of your posts are unnecessarily critical of him..

Because rizzu will carry on his merry way and take singles and hope to God that saud manages to hit and strike, he the set batsmen won't bother striking. Is saud departs we lose, so hope saud stays.

I said it before and again, Rizzu is just a consistent version of imam, Don't expect him to strike. I saw his match losing innings in the asia cup when he didn't have backing. He played 47 balls and score like 55, terrible.

 

[ex-q-zit]

So is it the crowd chanting Jeetaga bhai Jeetega Pakistan Jeetega or is it a recording of the chant that the broadcaster is using as Pakistani fans have not got visas

 

[sweep_shot]

Last 5 overs: 48/1.

 

[run-out]

How is Pakistan getting this much support here. Looks like Lahore

Lots of mian bhai in Hyderabad

 

[Major]

How is Pakistan getting this much support here. Looks like Lahore

well if we poiint out that its a city with alot of muslims, than all the modi pujaris will fly in and start saying no.

But i dont want the modi pujaris to ruin every thread so....

 

[7sins]

Can saud play quick 35-40 runs cameo

 

[hitthestump]

Pakistan need to target certain bowlers here but tick over against the others.

 

[King_Babar]

Saud look very lazy sometimes.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

What is Saud doing!?

 

[adzzy786]

Hope Saud doesn’t take too many balls to get going

 

[TheSultan]

You’re not getting the most out of Saud sending him this low. Imagine if he came in when Rizwan did, we’d be over 250 now.

 

[Mankaded]

All this hate isn't good for the mind and body.

 

[7sins]

Bad over only 5 off it

 

[ex-q-zit]

I agree but they're both on the top of that almost irrelevant fastest to 3000 runs list, will it be easy to discard them?

Do they have a choice?

 

[mominsaigol]

You’re not getting the most out of Saud sending him this low. Imagine if he came in when Rizwan did, we’d be over 250 now.

^^ This, Thank god someone understands. Rizzu with that 100 SR .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can't eat up dot balls here. Rotate the strike

 

[kingusama92]

From this position, they should chase it.

But anything can happen as the pressure ramps up later.

 

[7sins]

Man keep targeting pathirana you can easily play him for 10 runs
