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

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.
unlikely. I think 300+ will more likely be the average par score for most venues. there will be exceptions but most of the pitches will be totally flat. And most teams will prefer to chase and will have a better chance. But totally agree about even contests between bat and ball.
 
Good sensible from these two, let's hope they plan to bat through to final three overs.
 
And they gave away 2 wickets to de leede

Nawaz looks to be the better batsman , he’s played more proper shots and with less risk.

Shadab is playing risky shots and cross batter shots. The guy is the true manifestation of a fake all rounder
 
wasn't a big fan of either player coming into the tournament but they have got us back on track here
anything over 300 and we are favourites inshallah
 
If these guys can score just shows you what kind of wicket it is and what we need.. I believe 300 wont be enough.
 
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.
Need to target 320 sir
 
Netherlands wont score more than 100.

You guys are panicking for nothing.

This is the EASY game for Pakistan.
 
Got to say I have really enjoyed the match so far. Good performance from both sides.
 
Remember that the Netherlands chased 376 against the WI in the qualifiers to reach the WC
Their batting isnt that bad
 
We may win this match but what will happen against India?

14 October already scaring me
 
Pakistani national players or even awam to an extent as a whole need metal strengthening coaching. We are a mentally weak nation

We actaully brought in a team psychologist just for this. He doesn't seem to be doing his job properly, haha
 
Might be the first wicket de Leede has actually deserved as that ball was quite good and came back in late.

Decent stuff from Shadab to help Pakistan get to a respectable total.

Don't be so sure bro, nedtherlands aren't as easy as you think XD. Although I agree pak has higher chances of winning like 80%. But ned ain't getting bowled out for 100 lol
 
Thank God Shaheen has been working on his batting in the PSL.

He just needs to hold one end and Nawaz needs to go crazy on the other side.
 
Pak batsmen seriously don't have brain they should play out the overs and not go for glory boundaries
 
What the hells was that?

I don't care how poorly we're playing, that was not LBW.
Ball was so short of a length.

How can any umpire give that out?
 
Getting bowled out to nl man what a shame absolutely disaster class from pathetic batsmen
