India (119) clinch a thrilling victory against Pakistan (113/7) by 6 runs in a low-scoring game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[topspin]

This is what Rizwan's misbah-esque innings does to his team mates. Putting all the pressure on his team mates.

 

[Barragan]

Fakhar was stupid there.

Should have targeted the left armers

 

[lazy cricketer]

didnt he touch the helmet

 

[gibsyhesperis]

Well I guess that is the way he plays — live by the sword, die by the sword.
This is going to be a little bit tense unfortunately

 

[boomboomcheema]

Rauf, Naseem, Amir can all hit sixes so that a positive for Pakistan..

 

[JattMaula]

Hardik gets the much needed wicket.

 

[batandballbattle]

ah dammit
the yin and yang of an ultra agressive player

 

[amvbfm]

This is good. Imad is sensible.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Glad they sent Imad here tbh

Yeah he has a good head on him usually.

 

[aukhan]

Fakhar threw it away. Intent was right though.

Its Usman’s ugly inning that killed the momentum.

 

[topspin]

If Imad stays to the end, Pakistan wins this. His wicket is the key for India.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwan is key now, he better not bottle it so is imad tbh, He can handle the pressure

 

[Slim]

When will Rizwan hittt???? He keeps on eating balls. When will he hittt?? Why is the responsibility of the new batsman to hit???

 

[sweep_shot]

47 are needed from 46.

Pakistan are still favorites despite the loss of Fakhar.

 

[emranabbas]

Nice to see imad promoted

 

[MP2011]

Good catch by Pant

 

[chinaman00]

Pakistan has a very long tail. Imad, Shadab aren’t batsmen you rely on these sorts of situations. Ifty is hit and miss. India can really take this home if they show more intent.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Still anyone's game

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 47 runs in 45 balls.

Even with run a ball Pakistan struggling.

 

[Technics 1210]

Useless at #1, useless at #4. Measly 13 runs for some who is in form.

Time to bin Fakhar Zaman.

 

[Kianig89]

This will be an ultimate choke if we mess up

 

[mominsaigol]

Similar to how it feels to misspell “choked” after claiming to have a 3.8 GPA from an Australian university.

Also, Fakhar went bust but Pakistan will still win and you will cry.

Right, cause Pat Cummings was captain of Australian cricket team for 2022 wc t20

 

[Asad T]

If Rizwan gets out now, India would fancy thier chances

 

[aukhan]

Imad is sensible. Good choice Ifti should not be batting in this situation now.

 

[imran1976]

Fakhar Zaman will never grow up.

 

[topspin]

And yet he is batting below individuals who should not even dream of being in the top order.

Only in Pakistan. If David Warner was Pakistani he would be hidden away at 6 or 7

Exactly what Misbah does.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Need a boundary

 

[Kianig89]

Dear lord Pakistan better not bottle it

 

[mominsaigol]

Fair play to Bobby

He made some good calls in the field today. He’s captained well.

Ik he did, but Mamoon has been attacking me for days on end now and it's getting into harrasment territory for him since he brings irl in now

 

[aukhan]

Easy target our batsmen shouldnt mess this up.

 

[cricketmania22]

Fakhar Zaman lacks brains!

 

[Major]

This is what Rizwan's misbah-esque innings does to his team mates. Putting all the pressure on his team mates.

On a wicket like this, with uneven bounce, you need one guy to stay in there till the last over and one guy can attack. The only way we can lose this match is by throwing away wickets not by run rate. The targe is low enough that one over of 15 runs can change the run rate.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Too many dot balls building unnecessary pressure.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Imad common yaar

 

[boomboomcheema]

So req rate reaching almost 7.

 

[sweep_shot]

As long as Rizwan is there (set batter), Pakistan have this in the bag.

 

[Devadwal]

Chalo embarassing har to ni h .7 wicket se hi h

 

[ChTab]

Just wondering if Waqar would say the same thing again,which he said on A sports when Pak won vs Ind in 2021

 

[gani999]

USA's H1B boys will be fancying their chances against India now.

 

[Rana]

Ik he did, but Mamoon has been attacking me for days on end now and it's getting into harrasment territory for him since he brings irl in now

He better hope Pakistan get over the line

 

[castortroy]

This brittle batting line up is going to bottle this

 

[topspin]

Imad common yaar

Don't worry he knows what he's doing

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan is responsible for Fakhar's wicket

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

1 run off the over. Awful stuff. Just turn the strike over.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

If Rizwan gets out now, India would fancy thier chances

Him not getting out is helping them more.

30(41)!

 

[Asad T]

Need a boundary

we need one over to go for 15 and we will be relaxed

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Waqar was trolling us " What will be the reaction in America if USA beats India" . Rubbing it in

 

[neonoir]

Imad 0 off 4 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan getting bogged down here , not good.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Not only Fakhar got dismissed whole over got wasted. That's the problem here, you lose a wicket new batsman comes in and plays all dots. Req rate jumps from 6 to 7.

 

[PakFan2010]

This will be the biggest choke job in world cricket.

 

[Asad T]

Him not getting out is helping them more.

30(41)!

rrr is only 7, no need to panic
just need to rotate strike and not do anything dumb

 

[MP2011]

Good over from Pandya.

 

[aukhan]

Usman at 3 is a big problem. He killed the chase today. If we were chasing a big total he would have costed us the game.

 

[shah_1]

Should have sent Shaheen to give him the licence or get out.

Imad is clearly not fit to run

 

[Ab Fan]

Where is Bumrah? This is awful stuff from Rohit. What is he saving him for?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Imad is here to hit.

Don't think he ran hard and fast twos.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Just keep a partnership going.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

As long as Rizwan is there (set batter), Pakistan have this in the bag.

I hope they have factored in Bumrah's bowling at the death.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Need boundaries in this over

 

[boomboomcheema]

Lazy running by Imad. What a pathetic guy he is.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 for Imad

 

[Sunzi]

Come round to accepting that Rizwan just strangles us. Sets a poor tone, creates pressure, which the rest of the team succumbs to.

 

[Major]

Im more worried about Shadab. THe guy is known for causing Pakistan to lose games, so i hope Imad stays in there and does not allow Shadab to come out.

 

[MP2011]

Arshdeep keeps leaking runs

 

[KingKhanWC]

Rizwan needs to take control , letting this drift atm

 

[angrypathan]

Guided

 

[JattMaula]

Imad is here to hit.

Don't think he ran hard and fast twos.

And he hits a

 

[amvbfm]

Rizwan is responsible for Fakhar's wicket

Nope. Rizwan is doing fine. We dont need 200. Fakhar tried ending it quickly, he failed. Not Rizwan,s fault.

 

[Kroll]

Bunch of mental midgets, can't believe we're mucking up this dawdle of a chase.

Baba you clown, get some batsmen in the team!

 

[Markhor]

So req rate reaching almost 7.

Yeah we need a big over somewhere

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan is responsible for Fakhar's wicket

How? Pak needed 47 off 47. Why did he need to play that shot?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Lucky boundary now expecting 4 dot balls.

 

[batandballbattle]

need to get enough runs outside bumrah's remaining 2, wake up a bit lads

 

[Smbhayi]

Edged and lucky 4..

 

[aukhan]

Lucky 4 all runs are important.

 

[mominsaigol]

@Mamoon

Imad gut wrenching

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need to get a big over in before Bumrah

 

[shah_1]

Imad can't run at all

 

[Ab Fan]

The fat guy Rohit don't deserve to captain this side. He has just handed over the game to Pakistan. I am afraid if this is how India will play vs Pakistan, what will they do vs USA?
