ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan v Afghanistan | Match 22 | Chennai | 23 October | Pakistan Innings

[imshally81]

3 missed shot in a row

 

[Asif321]

Noor beta toying with riz

 

[Aviator]

20 to 40 overs is where Pakistan looses the plot whether it is batting or bowling.

 

[Sunzi]

Does feel like things are starting to grind to a halt and we're getting bogged down.

 

[MANU ROY]

Well the pitch is difficult i think 250 plus would be good score.

200 more than enough for Afghanistan

 

[Sunzi]

Some lovely turn there.

 

[Ahmed216]

Too defensive. I guess it comes from lack of confidence in your skills

 

[imshally81]

Fantastic review from Afghanistan.

But there was a angle.. How it was hitting the leg stemp

 

[Omer2002]

Rizzy started with the jaroo innings..as i said they have too good spinners. Will be a big big struggle to get a decent total. I think it was criminal to let just Nabi bowl as he is the who doesnt spin the ball.

 

[pillionrider]

Seriously.. It seemed not out from naked eye...

We gave you a friendly crowd. You don’t expect us to be that hospitable, do you?

 

[emranabbas]

I wa

I was watching the highlights of old Pakistan matches from 2008-2009. Our batsmen batted comfortably, rotated the strike, scored occasional boundaries, and judging by the strike rate, it never seemed like a game from a decade ago. For some reason, this cowardly timidity has been ingrained in our system since Misbah took over.

Alot of people people only started watching cricket after misbah so when they see players like imam babar rizwan they think it's the best ever cricket pakistan has produced

 

[Spitfire]

He was very poor since babar came in. I do not understand why players do this. Have a good patch and then go in to their shell.

Probably went into a shell out of respect for his idol and mentor.

 

[imshally81]

6666

 

[Omer2002]

200 more than enough for Afghanistan

Not really they have very good batsmen especially their openers

 

[MANU ROY]

Rizwan the fighter

 

[Major]

Six and that will shut the rizwan haters for a few balls here

 

[shariqnoor]

Afghanistan playing 4 spinners today. You cannot just "see off" the spinners. Pakistan will struggle to score 240 even if they don't take on the spinners

 

[TheSultan]

Good lapaytoo shot

 

[MMHS]

PAK should reassess the target- eyeing tok high will only allow AFGs to come back here - definitely not a 330 wicket & against AFGs, probably 230 should be enough.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Why

If you think there is tampering in DRS, then why you waste your time on watching the game where everyone is conspiring against your team?

 

[kron]

So bad. Very slow. Cmon. Is it tough there.

 

[TheSultan]

I think Babar is a sitting duck right now

 

[emranabbas]

200 more than enough for Afghanistan

Should make 150 and declare no need to waste everyone's time pakistan will bowl Afghanistan out in 10 overs

 

[Major]

Nabi has been chirping fo a while to babar

 

[nish_mate]

Mickey should get on the blower to Misbah and pick his brains for this game. This is the sort of surface Misbah's team would excel, 250 ish score and strangle the oppo...

 

[topspin]

PAK should reassess the target- eyeing tok high will only allow AFGs to come back here - definitely not a 330 wicket & against AFGs, probably 230 should be enough.

Pakistan's spinners aren't good enough to defend 230. I would say 270/280 is what Pakistan need here.

 

[topspin]

Nabi has been chirping fo a while to babar

Are you supporting Afghanistan or Pakistan today?

 

[MANU ROY]

Rizwan is best batter in Pakistan squad

 

[nish_mate]

Nabi has been chirping fo a while to babar

Exchanging Karachi Biryani & Kabuli Pulao recipes...

 

[NeVerMind]

Rizwan plays one sweep to many...very poor from him!

 

[Major]

Lovely stuff from noor ahmad.

Simple solution is send in iftikhar who can play spin well. But we wont, so....

 

[castortroy]

What a pathetic shot

 

[TheSultan]

Go on lapaytoo - always on the cards

 

[Blackbradman]

Out

 

[hass]

Rizwan falls to the sweep. Not required

 

[VForVendetta]

Rizwan the GOAT departs & by that the flood gate is about to open

 

[kingusama92]

Ridiculous.

One of the most idiotic shots he's played

 

[topspin]

Six and that will shut the rizwan haters for a few balls here

Spoke far too soon.

 

[vprasanna83]

Trying to sweep AFG spinners on this wicket is suicidal . Especially when you can’t pick them

Happened as expected . Rizwan is out playing the sweep

 

[NeVerMind]

Lovely stuff from noor ahmad.

Simple solution is send in iftikhar who can play spin well. But we wont, so....

Dis you just say Chacha plays spin well? Have you not been watching the World Cup??

 

[Major]

Are you supporting Afghanistan or Pakistan today?

Both. Want pakistan to win, but enjoying the bowling of afghanistan, especially noors

 

[Ahmed216]

Atrocious little innings from Rizwan.

 

[pillionrider]

Oh boy

 

[Rana]

The great number 4

 

[hass]

Now it's time to set our sights on 250. Rizwan has made sure of that.

 

[sweep_shot]

Noor gets Rizwan.

Pakistan - 120/3 (24.4 overs).

 

[castortroy]

Lovely stuff from noor ahmad.

Simple solution is send in iftikhar who can play spin well. But we wont, so....

"Iftikhar can play spin well"

Is this a joke

 

[Sunzi]

Starting to crumble. Spinners causing problems.

 

[emranabbas]

Collapse incoming

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can we get 270? I doubt it.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Collapse loading...1...2.....3

Babar is to follow them. He can't handle such pressure

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Iyer is better player of short ball, there is no comparison .

The problem with iyer/imam is they keep attacking the short ball despite knowing it most certainly has their number. Why can't they just let their ego down and duck under it / roll their wrists? Why do they keep attacking and hitting it in air? Both are in their late 20s. Should have matured by now.

 

[hass]

All you people saying "intent intent intent". Get a clue. It's not the type of wicket you can slog your way through.

 

[160KPH]

250 is a great score like everyone said before the match started, we got a good start in the powerplay but the pitch has clearly slowed down even more. Second innings it’s going to do some crazy things.

 

[Omer2002]

i think we are in deep trouble. Their spinners will choke us now ..

 

[Rana]

This guy averaging 40 in ODI cricket is a huge insult to Brian Lara, Inzimam and Dravid (who average around the same)

 

[owenhcricket]

Poor from Rizwan, he attempted about 4 sweep shots, 3 of which were completely misjudged.

Shakeel is a very good player of spin so important for him to stay here along with Babar.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just when people were praising rizwan, he threw his wicket away

 

[TheSultan]

Outside the line for me

 

[castortroy]

Pak clueless against spin again

 

[kron]

Babar is so poor against Rashid Khan

Yeppp.

 

[pillionrider]

Outside the line I think

 

[emranabbas]

Lovely stuff from noor ahmad.

Simple solution is send in iftikhar who can play spin well. But we wont, so....

Iftikhar can't play spin to save his life
He heavily relies on speed

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Not looking out to me

 

[NeVerMind]

Pitched outside....bad review...but Pakistan look rattled!

 

[shariqnoor]

Every team should just play a right arm and left arm wrist spinner against Pakistan. Those two will be more than enough for these batsmen. Terrible at playing wrist spin. 200 is difficult now.

 

[imshally81]

If you think there is tampering in DRS, then why you waste your time on watching the game where everyone is conspiring against your team?

Obviously there is a tempering in DRS... We still remember the review against Tendulkar in 2011... The father of Tempering

 

[emranabbas]

Ain't saud shakeel suppose to be the best player against spin?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why are we collapsing like this?

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud time to shine. He loves spin and has come in early.

 

[amvbfm]

PAK should reassess the target- eyeing tok high will only allow AFGs to come back here - definitely not a 330 wicket & against AFGs, probably 230 should be enough.

The wrist slitters here will lynch you for this take. They want a 6 every ball. Totally agree. Should reassess and ensure we aren't bowled out going for an unrealistic target.

 

[Blackbradman]

pathetic review

 

[Omer2002]

All you people saying "intent intent intent". Get a clue. It's not the type of wicket you can slog your way through.

Absolutely you cant slog on here only thing they missed out was Nabi which i think could have been attacked. The wrist spinners will be unplayable..Saud is pretty awful too as the rest ..

 

[Major]

I'm

Dis you just say Chacha plays spin well? Have you not been watching the World Cup??

You may have started watching cricket druing the world cup but i have been watching ifti bat for the last 5 years. He is a very goos player of spin, just cause he got out to spin doenst mean he is bad player of spin

 

[imshally81]

Not out... Review lost finally

 

[NeVerMind]

Noor Ahmed making Saud look like a school boy!

 

[Abraham786]

Rizwan always have to do this heavy lifting when playing along side Babar Azam, He knows well that Babar will never show intent and will keep playing selfish , Make rizwan captain,He will first kick Babar out of the team.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bad review.

That looked like "impact outside" even with naked eyes.

 

[MMHS]

Pakistan's spinners aren't good enough to defend 230. I would say 270/280 is what Pakistan need here.

Chasing 230, AFGs might be 5 down before PAK spinners come to bowl. They are chasing here, not setting target, but I guess PAK team is also playing for PAKPassion- giving initiative back, chasing a above average target.

 

[BouncerGuy]

25 overs, Pakistan is 120/3. Things are not looking good for Pakistan.
