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

[tauseef_mahmood]

These guys never value singles and doubles.

that is what i hate most about our team.... just putting unnecessary pressure

 

[castortroy]

270 is a very competitive score on this pitch but you need early wickets

Lol not with pak bowling attack

Pitch was looking better in the later stages

 

[Mainul]

270 is a very competitive score on this pitch but you need early wickets

I don't think so considering Pakistani spin bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Any decent without choking mentality will get this target. This is SA we are talking about

 

[Buffet]

So we did nt play 50 overs against Netherlands, India , Australia and now South Africa.. thats 4 out of 6 games.

It was really poor from Pakistan to not able to play 50 overs despite getting a decent start. It would have been easy 290 score without any risk here.

 

[Nado_]

Waiting for the miserable campaign to end and hopefully some big changes. Pathetic team.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Atleast 50 short. Easy win for SA

 

[GLORY OF '92]

50 short.

Only hope is a choke. You can't defend 270 with a short boundary one side

 

[batandballbattle]

If the pitch plays anything like it did for the afg 2nd innings it will be an early night for us

 

[Rana]

pakistan needed 350 to create doubt in SA batters mind

 

[Mainul]

So this is a do or die match for Pakistan?

 

[Sunzi]

Chalo, ho gaya.

Need to bowl line and length. Discipline.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan got all-out within 46.4 overs.

Could've added another 20 runs. They are probably a bit short.

 

[AMSS]

50 runs short here. Won't be able to defend this score. Only chance it can happen is if SA batters gift their wickets.

100 runs short. This pitch has nothing for bowlers.

So if pak bowlers do their job, there should be no ifs and buts praising them.

 

[Sunzi]

So this is a do or die match for Pakistan?

We are so inconsistent, they all are.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Well played Shabad, Shakeel and Nawaz.
270 could be a match winning total against RSA.
But, I'm feeling Temba Bavuma will a play innings today. De Kock will be out cheaply.

 

[PakFan2010]

Brainless shots from Shadab, Nawaz and Shaheen.

 

[Mainul]

Anything can happen today. Any team can win here. But SA is more favorite

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cameo team Pakistan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Waiting for the miserable campaign to end and hopefully some big changes. Pathetic team.

Torture will continue till 11 nov

 

[shah9425]

Should have been 300

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pak should defend this. SA couldn't even chase 245 against the Netherlands.

 

[Energy]

These guys never value singles and doubles.

Balla ghooma doh and danday gira doh. This is Pakistan cricket acumen.

 

[sweep_shot]

100 runs short. This pitch has nothing for bowlers.

So if pak bowlers do their job, there should be no ifs and buts praising them.

Chennai is not a 350+ pitch.

 

[MMHS]

Great intentions shown by PAK batsmen - the score you can get in 47 overs….. why bother for 50!!!

Now time for bowlers …

 

[batandballbattle]

50, 31, 21, 52, 43, 24
needed an 80+ amongst those really

 

[mominsaigol]

Whole innings is an afg repeat but even worse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shamsi was okay. Jansen was okay upfront. Other that it was Associate level bowling from SA

 

[Gollum]

Poor total. If SA get off to a flyer this match could be over inside 40 overs

 

[Asif321]

Junior and Harris will make sure it’s gone

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

141/5 to 270..
Brilliant recovery

 

[castortroy]

Pakistan got all-out within 46.4 overs.

Could've added another 20 runs. They are probably a bit short.

Pak have the worst bowling attack in the tournament and worst spinners.
At least 60 runs short

 

[Nado_]

Torture will continue till 11 nov

I keep telling my family to turn it off don’t watch it anymore , I’m just hoping for New Zealand to win now

 

[shokz1408]

And that’s the World Cup gone

 

[Ml12345]

Defendable total

 

[kron]

Btw what was said between rizwan and jansen? Any audio?

Shamsi was okay. Jansen was okay upfront. Other that it was Associate level bowling from SA

They bowl like this to rohit Gill and kohli then they will get a mammoth pasting.

 

[Saj]

Pakistan today:

225/5 from 39.3 overs
270 all out from 46.4 overs

45/5 from 7.1 overs

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

At least 10 runs short

30 actually ....... but i really hope we win.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Saud basically saying match is in the bag for Pakistan

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Shaheen special on the cards tonight.

 

[happydavy]

While one can't hold tailenders responsible but it's pretty pathetic to see how afridi and Mohammad Wasim got out. There is no excuse to not play 50 overs, these tailenders could have played safe for another couple of overs. Ngidi had bowled 2 wides outside off stump and still Wasim got out to a similar delivery next well.

 

[Hawkeye]

Did anyone watch Saud Shakeel's post-innings interview?

He looks like a clear captaincy candidate.

So mature and well-spoken, reads the game well.

 

[mominsaigol]

141/5 to 270..
Brilliant recovery

You need a username "unbiased fan"

 

[kron]

Poor total. If SA get off to a flyer this match could be over inside 40 overs

Well all we can do is try.
What is a par score in chennai. I thought 270 to 300 is ok? Maybe not for our bowling though lol

 

[ask_analyse_act]

This is the risk with bit part players. They generally don't think like a batsman when they bat. They don't think like a bowler when they bowl.

summed it up nicely... nailed it... hope Babar and PCB read that..

 

[Nado_]

Pak have the worst bowling attack in the tournament and worst spinners.
At least 60 runs short

With our bowling attack especially with minus Hassan Ali we are 200 runs short

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Same as against India, good platform wasted by dumb decision making down the order.

 

[kron]

Did anyone watch Saud Shakeel's post-innings interview?

He looks like a clear captaincy candidate.

So mature and well-spoken, reads the game well.

Saud? Guess so. Calm head.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Very disappointing. Some decent decent starts that were not converted.
It's going to take a vintage zero 2 hero bowling performance from Pakistan to win this one.

 

[Dantheone]

Pak should defend this. SA couldn't even chase 245 against the Netherlands.

Netherlands are bowling better than this team.

 

[Lampard]

South Africa will chase this under 35 overs today

 

[Mohraheem]

Nawaz and Imam are painful to watch, even when they are scoring.

Spelt Chacha Wrong

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Defendable total

If their openers hand over the wickets like the Pak boys did.

 

[Hawkeye]

Saud? Guess so. Calm head.

Yes

You should watch his interview.

 

[kron]

So disappointing cause we could have posted 320 with better application
Had them on the ropes.

Saud got out on a careless shot. Babar brainless shot.

Nawaz unnecessary shot selection.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan today:

225/5 from 39.3 overs
270 all out from 46.4 overs

45/5 from 7.1 overs

Saud, Shadab and Nawaz are to blame. We should have batted 50 overs.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Well played Shabad, Shakeel and Nawaz.
270 could be a match winning total against RSA.
But, I'm feeling Temba Bavuma will a play innings today. De Kock will be out cheaply.

Inshallah ... de kock needs to go in first over.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Well all we can do is try.
What is a par score in chennai. I thought 270 to 300 is ok? Maybe not for our bowling though lol

Its 15 -30 runs short .... Thinking captains will fancy this target and defend it easily.... Unfortunately not Babar, nobody in the Pak lineup are a thinking players tbh to defend this total... SA has to choke as usual to lose this.

 

[Meenu Rastogi]

It will be a close game but Pak will win this

 

[castortroy]

SA bowled garbage as well which makes it worse

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hope Pak’s pacers comes good tonight.

Definitely short of par score for this track but a decent score nevertheless.

Need a better intensity in the field than they had against Afghanistan.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Pakistan a bit like England in this tournament. Most of their top players are woefully out of form.

50 overs now to save their semi final chances.
