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

[chinaman00]

Imam parchi is one of ugliest left handed batsman ever. Generally left handed batsmen are very pleasing to watch but this guy looks pathetic with his misses.

Unfair to call Imam a parchi. He’s a talented player who’s been out of the team for a while and needs to get a sense of the pitch. Be patient.

 

[Omer2002]

It’s poor batting by Pakistan that they are only 22 runs after 5 overs against these 2 mediocre bowlers.

I agree very very poor by pak batters..and now rana is getting his pace up and imam jist slashing n slogging i am sure he was better than this

 

[Markhor]

Despite the shorter square boundaries, wonder how long before IND test Imam with short ball. He was dismissed by it a few times in 2023 WC.

 

[globetrotter]

Shami kept his worst bowling performance for today

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal today we have to settle with whatever Pakistan scores we will chase mentality. No wickets seems to be coming with new ball and most often when it happens, opposition scores 300+

Pitch is going to be slow so big toss win for pakistan. We are in trouble

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Pakistan should learn from Australia

 

[IAJ]

many wides so far

 

[BlindingLight]

No risk just stuck on the crease. No.skill no talent

 

[Asad T]

sabr karo, India spinners are coming

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Imam building pressure on Babar

 

[kingusama92]

Good bowling from Rana.

Imam doing the same old stuff he's known for doing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imam showing what Pakistan missed over the last 2 years

 

[Mesozoic]

Duckett and Salt would have been 50/0 by now. This is pathetic bowling overall

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan should learn from Australia

Bhai, they haven't learned anything in almost 80 years and you are talking about kal ka match

 

[Asif321]

Imam struggling

 

[Kroll]

this guy imam giving Ind confidence, should be smacking them around the park.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan lost the match as soon as they won the toss and decided to bat. This is a batting paradise and Pakistan will bat their way cautiously to a total about 50 runs short of a challenging one.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wides have a better chance of reaching fifty than Babar and Kohli.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Imam 9 on 22 Failed Horse

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Try to praise our good batting start. Both playing the ball on merit

If you keep playing the ball on merit you end up 22-0 in 10 overs vs good attacks.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

My Dadi would have hit that ball for 4 come on man!

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistani openers are allergic to playing lofted shots.

 

[JilaWatan]

This is so sad. We went from saim ayub and fakhar zaman to this... Travesty. We didn't take advantage when their bowlers were spraying the ball. Now they are finding their line and imam is looking lost. he was just a bad choice for odi. We had no other opener? Other teams would have taken us to the cleaners on a pitch like this if we opened the bowling like this.

Pakistan will always be stuck in the "wickets bachaao" mentality. Sad

 

[angrypathan]

Imam’s unmatched ability to suck the soul out of an innings has not been missed. The man is a dementor

 

[Hikaru]

Imam Tuk Haq batting beautifully.

 

[followed]

Lol imam the biggest parchi is already under pressure.
Why did they even call him back.

 

[IAJ]

Very slow wicket, you have to time the ball, not try to hit it hard

 

[mango_bite77]

Imam needs to be patient, last thing Pak want him to hole out on ramp shot.

Just be there and hold the end

 

[Rana]

Imam 9 off 22

Absolute fire!

 

[Bhaijaan]

VERY GOOD over from Harshit Rana.

Finally someone showing some jazba & junior bro

 

[Kianig89]

India keeping Pakistan in check, 1 or 2 wicket and all over

 

[batandballbattle]

Imam is so woeful.

 

[Kroll]

Can we sub Imam?

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Pakistan need to keep the RR in control

 

[Bhaijaan]

Imam 9 off 22

Absolute fire!

He’s setting himself up for a big one bro.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan fan's don't deserve 26/0 instead 22/2.

Lol They are playing well

 

[Kianig89]

Imam even forgot Nudge and Dab

 

[zahid01]

Imam is struggling to strike the ball last ball a ugly swipe

 

[Kroll]

India keeping Pakistan in check, 1 or 2 wicket and all over

Imam is helping them

 

[Shafi]

As usual Parchi Imam with no talent.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Imam building pressure, no improvement

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar's nemesis Hardik comes

 

[IAJ]

Shuld attack Pandya here

 

[Rajdeep]

Pitch is going to be slow so big toss win for pakistan. We are in trouble

Its okay bro...I have mentally prepared for virtual quarter final against Kiwis. We need to take revenge of 3-0 they dished us at home.

 

[Rana]

Pakistani openers are allergic to playing lofted shots.

Amraish Puri: Yeh hai hamara culture

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Selfish Babar, incapable Imam, timid Saud, Fraud Rizwan, all Rounder Agha, FakeDil make our top order.

What does anyone expect?

 

[FearlessRoar]

InshaAllah 4 today

 

[Bhaijaan]

As expected , Pandya replaces Shami.


Pakistan need to keep the run rate up otherwise all this little phase will be wasted if Bharat gets a wicket

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Relax guys, there are destroyed pitches from the IL20, perfect for our 280-290 scores.

 

[globetrotter]

Even if Pak scored 150/0 , Indians no need to worry…. Last WC match Pak were 152/2 to 191 all out

 

[castortroy]

Hardik will pick up a few wickets here

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Good change from Rohit to bring Pandya

 

[cricfan1992]

If you keep playing the ball on merit you end up 22-0 in 10 overs vs good attacks.

India has a good attack. Imam needs to up the tempo a bit. Babar looks nice

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL what is this TUK TUK from IMAM

 

[followed]

Lol hardik pandya always gets the best of Pakistan team.

 

[Rana]

@daytrader loving this batting by Pakistan in the powerplay

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan lost the match as soon as they won the toss and decided to bat. This is a batting paradise and Pakistan will bat their way cautiously to a total about 50 runs short of a challenging one.

By the looks of it going to be way more than 50.

 

[Kroll]

yes, wide! a run on the board!

 

[kingusama92]

Saim and Fakhar would have never batted like this.

 

[emranabbas]

Same old story

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Hardik will pick up a few wickets here

Yeh he will

 

[BouncerGuy]

8th wide so far.... 19 scored off bat...

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shaaban another wide

#8 so far

Kya mazaaaak chal raha Hae bhai

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hardik just leave it --------------- tujh se na ho paye ga aj

 

[Rana]

Indian bowlers, bowl 3 good balls and a mandatory wide

 

[cricfan1992]

What even are these two doing now??? 27 men se 8 run to widon ke hain

 

[JilaWatan]

Can someone please explain to me why these two are struggling to time the ball. is it the pitch or are they just in bad form

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Same old story

What can we expect from these 2

 

[Kroll]

Always bat like timid kittens v Ind, at least have a go FFS

 

[Asad T]

30% of the score is extras so far

 

[globetrotter]

Babar 10 in 18 ball, slowly turning to his real form

 

[Bhaijaan]

Babar doesn’t like playing Pandya. Pandya kinda tricky bloke for him historically

 

[emranabbas]

@RedwoodOriginal @Kianig89

This is the guy you were vouching for?

 

[Asad Ali2004]

What even are these two doing now??? 27 men se 8 run to widon ke hain

Wide runs are also counted, this is a stable start

 

[Kroll]

babaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Shafi]

2 dull idiots are batting!!! Nothing has changed. Any good team will get rid of these useless players

 

[cricfan1992]

what a cover drivee. SMOOOOTH from Bobzy the KING

 

[Asad T]

we are just allowing the indians to bowl at us
no effort to try to manipulate the field or but them under pressure

 

[BouncerGuy]

2 beauties from babar... 2nd cover drive
