ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan vs Netherlands | Match 2 | Hyderabad | 06 October | Pakistan innings

[NeVerMind]

Chacha and Babar scoring big against the Aussies in the warm up against the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner (with Ifti dropped twice against the same bowlers) so this was expected...

 

[angrypathan]

Singh sab’s slowness

2 catches missed by him

Even Warner wasn’t getting that

 

[Ahmed216]

Offcourse, from 2003 to 2007 what inzi and his team did was tableegh rather than playing cricket.

They did fairly well though under woolmer.
Their series victory in India with Rana naved as the lead pacer was highly impressive.

 

[Shafi]

PCB is responsible for this poor show. They bow down average player like Babar who will not even be picked up in Ranji teams and here they make him tyrant captain who choose whomever he wants. Babar will be exposed badly in this World Cup and may loose his spot if Sethi comes into power for threating Zaka to withdraw from team if they don't select his favorites.

Match isn't over yet.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Netherlands can chase down 230-240.

Pakistan need 250+.

 

[Shafi]

Rubbish bowler getting two big wickets in the match

Rubbish bowler getting two big wickets in the match

As if Babar is any world beater!!!

 

[ExpressPacer]

“Finishers”

 

[Shafi]

Match isn't over yet.

Yes but you cannot blackmail your employer before entering a big event. That's not acceptable. Aus/In/Eng would have fired him forever.

 

[pratiktc]

If they play 50 ovs 280-300 is still on.
Should be more than enough against Ned

 

[Rana]

As if Babar is any world beater!!!

I was taking about de leede

Those two wickets of Rizwan and Iftikhar were massive in the context of the game.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

No need to panic Pakistani brothers.. Even 220-230 will be enough for Netherlands as Pakistan's bowling lineup is very lethal Pakistan will win by 70 to 80 no matter what they score

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

14 more overs to go.

 

[PakPremi]

Lol. OK bro this your 8th sin.

I think all his sins were falsehood.

 

[emranabbas]

Mohammad Rizwan †	68	75	8	0	90.66
b de Leede
Saud Shakeel	68	52	9	1	130.76
c Saqib Zulfiqar b Dutt

If babar and friend's want to compete with big boys like india bangladeah and Afghanistan then they need to play like saud and not like rizwan

This is all we are asking

 

[NeVerMind]

People were calling Chacha the big finisher we need after being dropped off the bowling of Steve Smith and David Warner in the warm up...that was such sham innings...no wonder this guy has only recently managed to score a century and even that against the likes of Nepal....

 

[sweep_shot]

No need to panic Pakistani brothers.. Even 220-230 will be enough for Netherlands as Pakistan's bowling lineup is very lethal Pakistan will win by 70 to 80 no matter what they score

Netherlands have good batting. They are the strongest associate currently.

I think 220 may not be enough.

 

[7sins]

Lol Ackerman going at 2.5 an over

 

[Rana]

Not sure why you are underestimating the NL here?

They would have prepared mentally to chase 350 here

 

[Sher Khan]

Let's not forget Hasan Ali is playing over Naseem today. Hasan can easily go for 10 overs 0/75. So Pakistan definitely need atleast 280.

 

[ads101]

There’s still a lot of overs left in this game. These two need to stay in and get a partnership and steer us towards 250/260 at least. Hasan Ali can come in and slog a few at the end to boost run rate.

 

[batandballbattle]

could just be biding their time until the last 10

 

[7sins]

Netherlands have good batting. They are the strongest associate currently.

From 300 to 250 to 220 the same old story of this team

 

[Mockingbird]

P

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Good bounce back by NL...but if Pakistan can manage 40/50 runs from here then pqk will win it

 

[TheSultan]

Rizwan created the momentum and he is batting faster than Root was yesterday., did not see you complain.

If you read one of my previous posts I praised him near the beginning of his innings for taking the right approach

 

[Nasty Naz]

I think if Pakistan can get to 275 here, that should be enough. No need to look for big shots, just rotate singles until they are really well set and then try to launch in last 5 overs or so.

 

[rhony]

Not sure why you are underestimating the NL here?

They were sitting ducks against Starc as the comms said. Shaheen will have top three for breakfast by the 5th over

Good luck.

 

[mominsaigol]

The coach passed away after the loss to Ireland, and as I mentioned, Inzi scored 1 in that game. Remind me of Inzi’s standout performances in the 96,99, or 03 World Cups if 07 was an outlier.

Inzi is one of my favourite players but let’s not pretend he delivered in World Cups outside of the 92 final

Fair enough, I was 6 when 2007 world cup was playing. I never saw inzi play live. So I didn't know beyond people saying thing on forums.

It is all about experience mate. These teams lacks finishing touch.

 

[7sins]

Good luck.

Lol these fans really live in la la land

 

[Hitman]

What a silly referal to the 3rd umpire.

 

[TheSultan]

Can we please put Ifti out to pasture after this tournament. He fails 90% of the time. And the odd innings and it’s ifti mania hell yea!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Netherlands have good batting. They are the strongest associate currently.

I think 220 may not be enough.

Its my opinion.. Shaheen will prove too much for them

 

[mominsaigol]

Lethal

 

[aukhan]

What a great batting display by the two all-rounders.

People got happy when he smacked D string NZ and Nepal.

We kept telling everyone that chacha had a bad CPL against Average bowlers but Nahi, Zidi bachei. .

 

[emranabbas]

Only 80 more runs to go

 

[TheSultan]

Nawaz has given a new meaning to Bakwas Nawaz

 

[Devadwal]

Good important participate building for Pakistan

 

[PakPremi]

The first of the fake all-rounders departs. Never rated Ifti, never will.

Even in the warmups, he got multiple chances.

Part of Kia trio, I was hoping he will be able to handle pressure now after so many chances.

 

[Jazx]

As usual an horrible start to a world cup by Pakistani batsmans.

 

[angrypathan]

There’s that slog sweep

 

[aukhan]

Nawaz should open instead of Fakhar Zaman. He can't do worse than him.

 

[jattafridi]

Wow 6

 

[Usman Chadda]

How on earth can you not play these part-time spin bowlers from Netherlands?

The pitch is doing nothing, just a tad slow but good for stroke-making. Monumental meltdown under pressure by the Pakistan batsmen here. Shameful.

 

[MenInG]

Bhogle just pining for a Pakistan wicket.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

60 ball ton loading for greatest vice captain ever

Currently on 22 he is going to play his 2nd best innings in His short batting career.

 

[Savak]

Nawaz should open instead of Fakhar Zaman. He can't do worse than him.

Nawaz has opened for his domestic team

 

[Ahmed216]

All the talk about SR when our top order had collapsed and we are struggling to play 50 overs. High level trolling

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need another 90

 

[Fazzy321]

Shadab is a big match player as usual

 

[batandballbattle]

streakiest six ever lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

A good team probably would've caught it. Fielder made a mess.

 

[jattafridi]

We can still win

Champions team never give up

 

[shortbread]

Shadab has an opportunity to play a career defining innings here!

 

[adi_62941]

Who said Pakistan matches are sold out?????

 

[emranabbas]

To be fair these 2 just need to play it out no fancy shots after this is just trash

 

[Syed1]

Damn just woke up and the score is

 

[mominsaigol]

Only 80 more runs to go

Babar's friend sheddy to take us to the finish line

 

[Thanos]

100 run in next 11 over will take them to 320.
Though Pak already have enough on board.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hasan and Shaheen can swing.

Pakistan should end up with 280-290.

 

[Rana]

These Aussie commentators are so dull and boring

 

[adi_62941]

This pitch is different from what was in warm up matches

 

[angrypathan]

Damn just woke up and the score is

Was worse when we were 38-3

 

[Syed1]

This the last recognized pair. Alrounder Hasan Ali will struggle to get bat to ball

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shadab is trying to be positive but is being a touch too aggressive considering the situation. Not much batting left...

 

[7sins]

Damn just woke up and the score is

Never and easy for this team

 

[shah9425]

keep going boys

 

[battler]

Pakistan will get 300 here. That should be enough against Netherlands.

 

[jattafridi]

My new calculation telling me

Score 272 Pakistan Will win

 

[ExpressPacer]

What in the world was that grumble from Harsha?

 

[mominsaigol]

This pitch is different from what was in warm up matches

All these pitches nonsense. Same for England game, when England collapses and under scores its the pitch was bad, but when NZ smashes England, its the pitch helped NZ .

We are batting poorly, that's all their is to it. Nedtherlands have bowled well especially given how they planned for babar's wicket and how they got aggressive against rizzu bringing their wicket taking option the moment Saud fell.

God even nedtherlands captains and leads better then Babar smh.

 

[amvbfm]

Run a ball gets us to 280. That should be the target now. No need for anything fancy. ND are decent but the pressure of chasing can never be discounted especially for inexperienced teams. But will need Babar to be on his toes as a captain. His usual robotic tactics will not work unless the Dutch collapse completely.

 

[emranabbas]

Positive is they are taking singles

 

[amvbfm]

Edwards is a very good captain. Babar is near if not at the bottom

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Want 320 still

 

[angrypathan]

Shot

 

[Nasty Naz]

This pitch is different from what was in warm up matches

Same happened in 2019 when people thought England pitches were going to be roads especially after that Pak-Eng series just before the WC.

It's a much more enthralling contest when 250-300 is a good score and teams are 50-50 to win.

Probably too early to make a full determination if this will play out like 19' WC but for Pakistan's sake, I hope it does. This is simply not a good enough batting lineup to be posting 350+ scores regularly.
