What's new

India (244/4) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (241) by 6 wickets in their group-stage encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

What do you need them to do? It’s not Test cricket. They are not guys who have holes in their gloves
i'd still have someone like Mo Harris.
if we give him a run like how Ayub was given a run, he'd do well, and we'd have 2 powerhitters in the top 5
 
Being a Pakistan cricket fan is an absolute misery. Almost zero chance they make anything like 300.
 
Before I blame Rizwan, I am going to watch the rest of the team bat.

I have a feeling the lower order is going to collapse.

You don’t need to look for more reasons to defend an S/R in the 50’s, Saud has been a lot more proactive at the crease on this pitch regardless when his partner put him under severe pressure and the entire line up for that matter! They all have a lot of catching up to do because of Rizwan’s disgraceful knock.
 
If Ayub played it would be tougher but India is also missing quite a few players. Even game so far

You would

I would

The Islamic republic of Pakistan would not.
 
It was a good innings, helped Pakistan build a partnership and now the team will attack.

Chalo, cheer the Indian team for the passport you want

No it will to prove to be another Misbah-esque match losing innings.
 
When we try to hit big, we give chances like that.

For god sake get Julian Wood or another specialist powerhitting coach.

If Hafeez at age 40 could learn art of powerhitting surely these guys can.
 
Looks like Fraudiya realised Pakistan are 60-70 runs short here at this stage
 
I like salman Ali agha
Fighting spirit and shows heart
Tough guy

Hard as nails under pressure

lol lmao at sarfraz sitting there like a don
 
Plays a full toss straight to the fielder. Guess they never hitting anything.
 
Saud Shakeel playing some good shots now.

Btw, I really like the jodi of Agha and Saud. Saud the disciplined guy, Agha the crazy lahori. Both very different but have to bare each other

What good innings?

Batting at a SR of 50, 2 wickets down is good innings in your book?

Bhai at least jhooti tasalli na du doosron ko.

I agree with this. Time to give someone else a go after the CT. Needs to be axed as captain and dropped from white ball cricket.
 
SAud is still there... can he lift his bat up for a 6???

Indian supporter talk, he is doing his job as a middle order batsman unlike the disgraceful Rizwan who has crippled Pakistan’s innings. If you’re a man admit what a pathetic knock it was, criticising a batter who has been the most proactive so far

This was one selfish innings By Rizwan, collapse on cards now
Collpase was on cards before, thats where saud and riz sved the innings. Now stage is set for attacking batting.

and as i type that saud departs
 
Big blow. Saud shouldn;t have taken the role of hitter here.

Game now 70/30 India

Instead, we have abdur razzaq conducing a strike-force camp
 
What is Wasim Akram on?

Wasim is an awful commentator and a pretty bad cricket analyst.

He keeps saying 4 an over is acceptable when we were 60-2.


I dont think he is a poor analyst. I think he just memorized some cliches and he just keeps repeating them with some mixing and matching.

If the commentary is in Punjabi maybe he will give some real insight

I agree. Saud has played well. Under pressure.
 
Stupid shots played by set batsmen. So hard work and then throwing away.

In Punjabi for the pavilion show he is quite good
Funny too
Shoaib Malik though lmao he is so funny
 
Where can i place bet that Tayyab Tahir will get out to the mid wicket fielder.
 
Both Rizwan and Saud threw wickets away. There was no need to play that shot.

Now Pakistan are on the verge of an epic 2023 style collapse.
 
This attack was needed from 10-25th over.

Now the players were set, should have kept run a ball continue till 40
 
I have no words.
This is why education or some discussions on basic common sense is so necessary in Pakistan. More than other teams.
