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

[Markhor]

Are they already playing for NRR ?

 

[7sins]

The chase is already done and dusted within the pp

 

[topspin]

Was that an easy catch? Didn't see it

It was a dolly. Had so much time as well.

 

[ex-q-zit]

What mistake has Siam Ayub committed to be ignored not only the main team but also the asian games team which had Asif Ali, Haider Ali and Kushdil Shah. Maybe he needs to change his name to Siam Shah or Siam Ali.

 

[Omer2002]

The question is what will India do to us in Saturday...if it was me i would use security as an execuse and pull out of the tournament as we have won the only match we could

 

[Mockingbird]

Criminal to waste the powerplay when you are chasing a big total.

 

[Shafi]

This Shafiq guy is rubbish?

 

[IAJ]

Lol turning this average bowlers madushanka into some legend

Lol even Marcus North has a 5-for against Pakistan, at Lords.

 

[Marooned]

Bobby now getting classy 1s and 2s. 4s are hard to come by even in pp.

 

[batandballbattle]

slip staying in, close in fielders to keep pressure on
young shanaka schooling babar on captaincy

 

[RyanRyan10]

Imam a parchi

He's our best ODI opener and has been phenomenal for years. A couple of failures mean nothing, form is temporary class is permanent

These people criticize every failure of Babar. Don't expect them to spare Imam.

 

[m.shah]

You are chasing 350 not 250

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It was a dolly. Had so much time as well.

We will never learn

 

[Ahmed216]

Conserving wickets for nawaz and shadab to explode at the end

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Can't bat
Can't bowl
Can't field

 

[castortroy]

260 ao I I think

 

[cricenjoyer]

Babar looking good. People should be patient, give him 20 balls and he will be set to score big

 

[IAJ]

Can't bat
Can't bowl
Can't field

But we can eat biriyani bhai

 

[msb314]

Too slow as always..

 

[7sins]

But right after the world cup imam will come into form against c d sides

 

[redmaverik84]

The pitch seemed to grip towards the last 10 overs, the slower balls bowled into the pitch did something which caused a few dismissals. SL have the spinners to exploit if this persists. However under lights, towards the latter part it should be easy to bat on. Pak need to see of Theekshana, be a bit wary of Pathirana and it should be easy. I forsee Pak winning by 46th over.

 

[castortroy]

1000 balls this year in power play with no 6. What a stat

 

[emranabbas]

1000 balls no 6

 

[7sins]

Lol shanaka bowling because pakistan are absolute crap

 

[boomboomcheema]

Plan to target 90 runs in the last 10 overs..

 

[m.shah]

slip staying in, close in fielders to keep pressure on
young shanaka schooling babar on captaincy

Even local club cricket captain will school babar on captaincy

 

[imshally81]

Finally a boundary...

 

[topspin]

Saim Ayub on current form is our best opener. He must be wondering how on earth has Imam been selected ahead of him.

 

[VForVendetta]

Worst opener in ODI history

Graduated from the same academy of acclaimed chads like Zahid Fazal, Wajatullah Wasti & Khurram Manjur. Only in Pak such legends are tasked with the job of primary white ball opener in world cups.

 

[msb314]

Good boundary Abdullah

 

[emranabbas]

Can't bat
Can't bowl
Can't field

We can cut cake

 

[Sherazkhalid]

1000 balls and no sixes, what an achievement

 

[RyanRyan10]

Shanaka brought Pakistan back by scoring 12 (18) in the slog overs and now leaking runs.

 

[Adi_62945]

I think they are already lost and playing for NRR. I still remember that 7th T20 against England where we were chasing 200+ and we gave up after babar and rizwan get out.

 

[ex-q-zit]

1000 balls in powerplays this year without a six for Pakistan

 

[kron]

Babar is so pleasing to watch.

 

[Marooned]

Shot AS

 

[Devadwal]

Shanka is biggest parchi as he is useless in everything .and he is a caption lol

 

[emranabbas]

If we can get to 70 runs by the 10th over I'm happy

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pakistan can chase this. One stage looked when SL batting looked like be getting close to 400. Pak did well to limiting the damage. Need someone to score big 100, couple with high 50s, 1 or 2 with quick fire 35-50, get to 200 for 3 max, by 33overs. Then 102balls to get 145 with 7wickets in hand todays age its easily done.

 

[Marooned]

Babar is so pleasing to watch.

What is pleasing you so much?

 

[topspin]

1000 balls in powerplays this year without a six for Pakistan

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim Ayub on current form is our best opener. He must be wondering how on earth has Imam been selected ahead of him.

Yes he's clearly wondering how on earth cough inzi cough

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I rate Abdullah. He can produce the goods.

After the WC Abdullah and Saim will be our openers.

 

[Marooned]

1000 balls in powerplays this year without a six for Pakistan

Pps are meant for 4s and I'm sure we must be lagging behind in pp 4s by a huge margin if someone finds the stat.

 

[redmaverik84]

What is the purpose of Shanaka? When they have Karunaratne in the team, this chap can neither bowl nor bat.

 

[mominsaigol]

I'm hoping Abdullah comes good. I was right about saud, come on Abdullah please prove me right once again.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Gone

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pakistan 20% as per win predictor

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone

 

[I think therfore I am]

Boys played good boys played well. Keep repeating and telling yourselves this

 

[Mockingbird]

Babar

And you guys say he is a better chaser than Kohli

 

[castortroy]

Babar you clown

Resign after this game

Coward dismissal

 

[redmaverik84]

Babar gone!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

GOODBYE FTB

Babar bozo

 

[Devadwal]

Babar gone

 

[IAJ]

The pitch seemed to grip towards the last 10 overs, the slower balls bowled into the pitch did something which caused a few dismissals. SL have the spinners to exploit if this persists. However under lights, towards the latter part it should be easy to bat on. Pak need to see of Theekshana, be a bit wary of Pathirana and it should be easy. I forsee Pak winning by 46th over.

See off Theekshana, be wary of Pahirana, respect Wellalage, Phir tou hum pakka jeet gay na

 

[Marooned]

Long live the king. The wizard

As always, magically disappears in the big moment.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Once again Babr goes out cheaply when chasing a huge target.

 

[Asif321]

Lol what was that ! Such crap

 

[boomboomcheema]

Softie gone..Nepal ka Babar.

 

[7sins]

Lol babar the choker

 

[msb314]

Useless Babar…

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

This is going to go down as possibly our worst showing in the World Cup.

 

[castortroy]

This type of performance against Srilanka is unacceptable

There should a number of resignation after this tournament

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Yaar what is happening to our world cup journey?

 

[ChTab]

Goodbye minnow basher. Hope Pakistan have guts to drop him from limited over cricket after this WC.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Useless loser Babar with another failure.

Time to turn off the TV.

 

[7sins]

Had enough of these crap babar fans

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Drop catches and give away wickets cheaply, well this is Pakistan for you, that win predictor probably gone to 0

 

[Asif321]

massive mistake to make babar captain . He was better off just a player

 

[castortroy]

Forfeit the India game

 

[m.shah]

Lol struggling against mighty sl bowling

 

[shortbread]

Unlucky, a little more effort and that was a boundary.

 

[TheSultan]

Player of the week gone - what a tame dismissal

 

[karthikc]

This type of performance against Srilanka is unacceptable

There should a number of resignation after this tournament

Riswan should become captain

 

[kingusama92]

Now that's a backbreaker

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Another WC group stages exit

 

[chinaman00]

Pakistan will find it hard to score even 270 today. Fake Shadab will score 20 odd runs to hide his outrageously poor bowling.

 

[IAJ]

Once again Babr goes out cheaply when chasing a huge target.

"But he is more consistent than Kohli" The guy sho said that deserves a slap.
