[Amjid Javed]

Where is @Mamoon ? Always spreading negativity against abullah and rizwan

The guy enjoys trolling just ignore him

 

[Rajdeep]

Out...but too late??

 

[FearlessRoar]

Saud gone. 31 off 30

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Nothing silly now please

 

[RexRex]

Pakistan have put other teams on notice

 

[Swashbuckler]

Surely Rizwan makes it to an all time Pakistan XI now. What a champion.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Loose shot from Saud now Chacha will create tension..

 

[imshally81]

Saud gone

 

[amirm]

Saud gone, soft wicket

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Bad time to get out.

 

[msb314]

Poor from Saud..

 

[sweep_shot]

Saud is gone. Is there a twist?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

oh there goes Saud. We always keep it close, God forbid we have to give our fans heart attack

 

[Major]

Chacha is here

 

[Mankaded]

Dont send in Chachu now, he wil play ,amy dots-

 

[Markhor]

Where is @Mamoon ? Always spreading negativity against abullah and rizwan

Abdullah Shafique's technique is "for show" apparently. I guess this innings was for show too.

 

[Galla]

oh boy chacha at this stage doesnt inspire much confidence in me tbh

 

[ArabKnight]

pathetic comment.

Don’t lie. I know you're happy he’s top scoring batter of our side. He could’ve got out on 100 at a higher strike rate.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Saud out. Still plenty of batting but I hope Pakistan look to finish it off soon instead of taking it to the last over or something.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania has joined the Rizwan

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud still has a frequent habit of soft dismissals, he really needs to improve that.

But it's fine, Rizzu takes us home

 

[Smbhayi]

Said gone, soft dismissal, no need to play that shot.. pak still can lose lol

 

[jattafridi]

it’s ok saud

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Chacha .... will he go berserk?

 

[boomboomcheema]

What is the rule.. If he retire... Does he bat again?

A Batsman who retires hurt can comeback later.

 

[MMHS]

Have to say, remarkable chase by Rizwan - clinically ruthless. Calculated the chase by 50 overs. Srilanka had their flaws in defence, but full credit to Abdullah & particularly Rizwan, didn’t ever panic.

I’m convinced actually- if his fitness is an issue, PAK should make him specialist bat number 4 & keep with Haris (or may be Shadab - surely he can keep better than bowling leg spin).

 

[Nado_]

Said had a brain fade there but well played. I say send Shaheen in and just tonk it

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Cacha is here, please stay calm and cross the finish line.

 

[160KPH]

Ah yes the ever reliable Ifti chacha who has guided us to so many victories in the past

Unironically yes. Best finisher in Pakistan.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Surely Rizwan makes it to an all time Pakistan XI now. What a champion.

All time world XI.

Gilchrist, Dhoni Benched.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Please win otherwise team will be mentally gone completely

 

[jattafridi]

Ifti mania need 4 sixes

 

[Major]

chacha off the mark

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ifti just needs to rotate strike - nothing dumb

 

[kingusama92]

Oh boy, let's keep the "mercurial" side in the box today Pakistan.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

need a boundary in this over

 

[imshally81]

Decent innings by Saud... But he need to finish the game

 

[Syed1]

Typical Pak... can't just cruise to victory

 

[sweep_shot]

This is Rizwan's highest ODI score. Previous best was 115.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Please win otherwise team will be mentally gone completely

Forget team bro I'll be mentally gone

 

[TheSultan]

Poor innings from Said overall

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need to finish it in 49th over, don't take it to 50th.

 

[Major]

chacha gets a lucky 4,

 

[Swashbuckler]

All time world XI.

Gilchrist, Dhoni Benched.

Rizwan is easily better than Dhoni, but don't know about Gilly.

 

[kingusama92]

That boundary should release the pressure

 

[hitthestump]

Surely Rizwan makes it to an all time Pakistan XI now. What a champion.

Lol he was a guarantee well before this innings.

He is the greatest wicketkeeper we’ve produced by a country mile.

 

[amirm]

Rotate strike, get singles

 

[FearlessRoar]

Now Pakistan need 31 off 30

 

[Sherazkhalid]

phew, cacha almost gone.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

31 in 30. should finish in next 3

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary by Chacha

 

[jattafridi]

Yes lucky 4

 

[jattafridi]

Take that Sri Lanka

We are Pakistan

 

[Markhor]

Bit of luck for Ifti. Not as convincing against spin as he's against pace.

 

[ArabKnight]

Ramiz Raja makes very annoying noises.

 

[FreakCricket]

Luck is going the green way

 

[imshally81]

Poor innings from Said overall

Poor innings from Said overall

Oh really.... I don't think you watched the same game...

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwan is easily better than Dhoni, but don't know about Gilly.

Woah, I like rizzu

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mohammad*118(109)

Iftikhar5(2)

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Ifti bhai has an avergae of 44 .... really.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

India responding positively to Iftimania

 

[amvbfm]

Fair. Although they did bowl well against India, ig that was once in a blue moon . Saud and Abdullah were correct cause it was free from bias lol.

Well back to the basics for me.

nah just kidding. perhaps we Pakistani fans are a bit too pessimistic at times.
Abdullah and Saud are class. imagine if we had Saim as well

 

[Nasty Naz]

I wonder how much SL fans dislike Abdullah with what he's done with them? An epic 160 or so match winning knock and chase down a high total in Galle. Double ton a few months ago and now an epic century in a very high WC chase total and in a dire situation.

Brilliant stuff and this is why he has been backed by Babar.

 

[Adi_62945]

This innings by rizwan will bury the sarfraz career in limited over cricket once in for ever

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Riz cannot run else this was two.

 

[ArabKnight]

Ifti bhai has an avergae of 44 .... really.

After that innings against Nepal, I would put an asterisk besides any statistic of Iftikhar.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Top chase so far... Just finish SL off now

 

[Aseem_Khan]

If Sri Lanka would've Dropped Three catches against India in same crunch situation, posters here like
@Major
Started crying it's Bcci conspiracy ,Match is fixed , Let's make a thread

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope rizwan sees the chase through.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 27 runs in 26 balls.

Run a ball required here

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan now have a very good chance of making it to semi. They needed to win this game.

 

[Itachi]

to be fair, they will be more angry with their own players more in this regard.

He would have been right. Against India deffo fixing but here it was just bad luck.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This innings by rizwan will bury the sarfraz career in limited over cricket once in for ever

Safii is what 36/37 now? I think his career is already done at this point.

 

[amvbfm]

Time to end this now. Should go next over.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rizwan has been very poor since his injury.

Do people read what they are posting?

You are acknowledging that he is injured and then saying that he is playing poorly

 

[Major]

Pakistan needs to finish it by the 49th over, dont leave anything for the last over. Cant forget that zimbabwe t20

 

[hitthestump]

Pakistan now have a very good chance of making it to semi. They needed to win this game.

Disagree.

SL, Netherlands and Bang are the only teams we are expected to beat.

England and co will humiliate us with the state of our current bowling.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Still not sure about Pak bowling but would love to see 2 Asian sides in the semis.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need one more big over here, 10 runs at least so that we can chase it by 49 overs.
