ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan v South Africa | Match 26 | Chennai | 27 October | Pakistan Innings

[emranabbas]

Nawaz a six

 

[angrypathan]

Shot!

 

[msb314]

Beautiful by Nawaz

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Nawaz

 

[Sunzi]

Nawaz cementing his spot in the team for 4 more years!

 

[Dantheone]

Tail enders are in. Nawaz is not an all rounder, he's a bowler who can hit one or two boundaries an innings if he's lucky.

One of them has come now.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

280+ is what pak need...come on nawaz

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

few

get qdk and markram early... see what happens

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fitness of players will be put to test today. Fortunately for pakistan they field at night. Will be slightly cooler. But it will still be humid

 

[NeVerMind]

Saud gone now!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

na yaar.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Shakeel is gone.

240/7.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pakistan still has potential even if it isn’t world beating.

Fakhar
Abdullah
Babar
Rizwan (c)
Saud
Agha
Imad (vc)
Shadab
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf

We need to overhaul fitness expectations, minimise league appearances and get these guys working hard and resting appropriately between matches.

And this can be a decent side.

Move Rizwan down the order, he is not ODI no.4.... He will fail 10 out of 10 times against top teams, but gives hope like proper no.4 against non-existent and weak bowling attacks but he isnt...

 

[Asif321]

No 300 now

 

[emranabbas]

These guys need to stop thinking about 50s
Need to think big like a 100

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Saud gone, 280 looks uphill !

 

[Devadwal]

Just tune and Saud gone .

 

[NeVerMind]

Lucky to get to 280 odd now

 

[Buffet]

SA always gives plenty of runs in the last 10-15 overs.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Ngidi is garbage.. South Africa should have played Lizard instead of Ngidi.

 

[Ahmed216]

Big big wicket. Saud goes

 

[aukhan]

Another soft dismissal.

 

[7sins]

We are absolutely rubbish against spinners every other teams smash shamsi type bowlers all over the ground and here we are

 

[angrypathan]

Yeah we're gone

 

[IAJ]

Oh no

 

[RidiculousMan]

I don't really get this management. Why are the exposing Iftikhar against wrist spinners?

He can't pick the ball off the hand. That's why he gets dismissed against them. Had they kept him for death. Pakistan would be in a better position right now to launch at the death with him.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

that was real stupid by both shadab and saud. really bad time.

 

[emranabbas]

Just play out 50 overs no fancy shots

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen ahead of wasim jnr

 

[NeVerMind]

What's this? Shaheen come about before "all-rounder" Wasim Jnr?

 

[Sunzi]

What can we get? Whatever we get doesn't look like enough...

 

[IAJ]

Saud needed to be there till end yaar.

 

[Asad T]

Look at the difference between how Nawaz played that short ball from Coetzee vs the dismissal ball of Rizwan
Both were short at outside off stump
Nawaz hit it with the line and it went for 6
Whereas Riz went across the line and got an edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is shocking to see South africans don't attempt reverse. Or t hey don't know how to bowl reverse.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

No worries...Nawaz will take it to 280+ and win it

 

[SalimBhai]

Yeah we're gone

Let’s get to 280 now

 

[Spitfire]

Saud outscored Babar with a better strike rate too.

Should be persisted with.

 

[Ahmed216]

Look to play 50 overs yaar.

 

[DandyFellow]

It's come to that point where Pakistan tail vs South Africa's attack against tail. Let's see who does worse.

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud's softest of softest dismissals continue

 

[IAJ]

What can we get? Whatever we get doesn't look like enough...

I think we have alrady enough in sha Allah, but would tak 280+ from here

 

[Hawkeye]

Look at the difference between how Nawaz played that short ball from Coetzee vs the dismissal ball of Rizwan
Both were short at outside off stump
Nawaz hit it with the line and it went for 6
Whereas Riz went across the line and got an edge

Rizwan

The sooner we get rid of him the better.

 

[Thephenom]

Other players get better as they go on, Pakistan batsmen seem to shrink once they get past 50

 

[jnaveen1980]

Turn !!

 

[FearlessRoar]

Saud Shakeel departs 52(52)

 

[SalimBhai]

Shaheed batting is average

 

[Sunzi]

Shaheen being primed for the captaincy.. in early to play a captain's innings.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Disgusting to an OUT after individual 50

 

[oatmeal]

Shamsi is bowling much better this spell

 

[Abraham786]

280 decent score according to this pitch let's see how pak spinner Bowl

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Saud needed to be there till end yaar.

true that.

 

[Syed1]

All of this because we are playing parchi Imam

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Well played Saud for his gritty 50

 

[Devadwal]

No ball .

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yeah baby

 

[NeVerMind]

Nawaz launches the free hit for a six! Does better than Babar

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Look at the difference between how Nawaz played that short ball from Coetzee vs the dismissal ball of Rizwan
Both were short at outside off stump
Nawaz hit it with the line and it went for 6
Whereas Riz went across the line and got an edge

Wrong analysis ! Rizwan's ball was around off stump, had more bounce and this one was way outside off stump, allowing room to Nawaz to play upper cut.

 

[SalimBhai]

Ball turning. But Pakistan has no real spinners

 

[oatmeal]

a spinner overstepping - its inexcusable

 

[angrypathan]

Shamsi oversteps far too frequently for a spinner, and Nawaz duly punishes it

 

[Ahmed216]

No balls and a few fielding lapses from SA. Signs are there.
Need another 30 yaar plz

 

[Spitfire]

Well hit by Nawaz...

That's how youbdeal with a no ball.

Babar watch and learn.

 

[NeVerMind]

Ball turning. But Pakistan has no real spinners

You don't need the best to trouble the Saffers when chasing....they bring in their own demons

 

[Buffet]

Ball is turning. If Pakistan can bowl well, SA will have hard time chasing 300 here.

 

[IAJ]

Firs time I have heard a decent comment from Rameez: He wished Pakistan play as if every bowl from spinner is a free-hit

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Saud's softest of softest dismissals continue

Did well, right now everyone is under pressure considering the comedy which is happening on media. Once team settles down, he will do well and play for next 7-10 years.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is choking.

 

[AAli98]

Can picture it SA 90/0 of 8 overs cannon fodders Wasim Shaheen

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

You don't need the best to trouble the Saffers when chasing....they bring in their own demons

so do we.......

 

[emranabbas]

Nawaaz sobers smashing it

 

[NeVerMind]

so do we.......

Yeah but we are not chasing this time...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can picture it SA 90/0 of 8 overs cannon fodders Wasim Shaheen

Wait and watch> They will catch cold feet. Will get out to nohing deliveries. Straight deliveries, All kind of innocuous things will happen when they chase.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKill level of SA bowling is poor in ODIs.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

300 is still on

 

[sindhiboy]

signs of turn is good signs for pak

 

[emranabbas]

I have a feeling m wasim will have a good outing today

 

[kron]

Short ball Is our weakness.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasim is a good pick for this pitch> Ball will reverse big time.

 

[kron]

I have a feeling m wasim will have a good outing today

Hope so bro. He can tonk too.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

6 overs to go...... some liuck goes our way and we can have a decent total
