New Zealand (320/5) defeat Pakistan (260) comfortably by 60 runs to clinch triumph in the inaugural match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar been out since first over

What’s the rule for him to bat and what position? How long can he stay out for if he wants to open?

He’s allowed to come as last man if they need to

 

[Rana]

Brave move? More like a panic move to bring Abrar in now

 

[NeVerMind]

This is the cycle of Pakistan

1. Play bilateral ODI series vs weakened teams
2. Win bilaterial ODI seriess and gain confidence, Babar and Rizwan score lots of runs.
3. Turn up to ICC events and play full-strength teams.
4. Lose in ICC events.

You forgot to add "Reinsert useless all rounders into squad"

Abrar nerd is so average.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Abrar is bowling at a low length

 

[jattafridi]

Need wickets otherwise 343/7

 

[Slim]

Abrar mistry - the mason of Pakistan team. Interesting move from rizzler, lets see.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The mystery spinner is on

The mystery that even Abrar doesn't know himself

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Stadium looks fantastic.

 

[FearlessRoar]

 

[PakFan2010]

Good decision from Rizwan to bring in spin.

Pace is clearly not working.

 

[Slim]

Our 2 new ball bowlers can"t bowl 140+, am I an Indian?

Bhai shaheen was bowling 145kph

 

[Rana]

Wasting Abrar’s crucial overs early on

Should have bought in Khushdil if you wanted to use a spinner

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Our 2 new ball bowlers can"t bowl 140+, am I an Indian?

Let alone 140+ they can't even consistently bowl 135kph

 

[mominsaigol]

Wasting Abrar’s crucial overs early on

So umm is anyone missing sarfaraz

 

[jamie smith]

reasonably good over from abrar.

 

[jattafridi]

Abrar good over

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good over

 

[Bhaijaan]

Rizwan bhai with some very smart advise from the stumps.

“Goboaaaluwalogowa laugaagwjwnak fagwidkfnfl owhdbdkajs kqodbdbd ”

 

[m.shah]

Hotstar has become JioHotstar

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Really need wickets

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pakistan should always bat first unless its a green top. Been saying that for 25 years.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fakhar been out since first over

What’s the rule for him to bat and what position? How long can he stay out for if he wants to open?

We will then get Rizbar to open.

The roars of delight from Pakistan fans at that opening combination would beat any orgasmic combination.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our 2 new ball bowlers can"t bowl 140+, am I an Indian?

What match are you watching? Both Shaheen and Naseem are hitting 140+ regularly.

 

[m.shah]

Pakistan need a wicket early otherwise we are looking for another 350

 

[jamie smith]

riz is a clueless captain.

 

[Mesozoic]

Stadium looks fantastic.

Yes absolutely. State of the art stuff. Straight from the 22nd century.

 

[followed]

Santner was unplayable in these conditions in previous match. He got two wickets and gave away like 20 runs.

 

[Slim]

Use a mix of Agha and parchi instead of mistry

 

[RyanRyan10]

Smart captaincy from Rizwan

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pin drop silence on the boundary, home crowd need something to cheer

 

[BouncerGuy]

No early wickets.... 350 loading

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah fav test match fielding

 

[FearlessRoar]

What kind of bowling is Naseem Shah doing????

 

[jamie smith]

that was a slow pitch.
This is a belter.

Use a mix of Agha and parchi instead of mistry

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan bhai with some very smart advise from the stumps.

“Goboaaaluwalogowa laugaagwjwnak fagwidkfnfl owhdbdkajs kqodbdbd ”

Stop mocking his gibberish

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Really need wickets

 

[Mohraheem]

What kind of bowling is Naseem Shah doing????

Misbah probably spoke to him so he performs bad and Misbah’s son can get selected

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What kind of bowling is Naseem Shah doing????

The one that he's been doing since the return from injury

 

[Rana]

Misbah fav test match fielding

Bro please elaborate this. What is Misbah like fielding?

 

[jamie smith]

Naseem has bowled well but unlucky as usual.

 

[Mohraheem]

They blocking every wicket to wicket ball.. only smacking the short balls or the ones being bowl on the pads

 

[Dr_Bassim]

NZ in no mood to give wickets away.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Poor batting from New Zealand. Run rate isn't even 6.

 

[Mohraheem]

Bro please elaborate this. What is Misbah like fielding?

Abrar the nerd mazdoor is bowling too fast. He should slow it down.

[Deewana Mastana]

[FearlessRoar]

But in Champions Trophy history, NZ is superior to us.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Beauty from Abrar.... Conway gone....

Abrar bhai delivered.

Pakistan get the first and crucial breakthrough through

Lol saud the midget chicken doesn't have neck. He is neckless chicken.

He is without brain also.
Nerd abrar strikes.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great delivery indeed. Used his brain there Abrar. Pakistan needed some brilliance like that.

 

[Omer2002]

Poorly played straight ball...now comes williamputtar

 

[m.shah]

Much needed breakthrough

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Abrar, the guy who should "bowl to 10 year olds in his backyard", according to some, gets the breakthrough.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Harry Potter with the magic

Harry Puttar

 

[jattafridi]

Yes out

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Hahah who was mocking Rizwan for bringing abrar
Where are you now

We will all be mocking you when Bangladesh knocks us out of the tournament

 

[shah9425]

Mystery delivery

 

[aukhan]

Abrar strikes. Great.

Shaheen and Naseem poor as usual overhyped and useless 90% of the time.

 

[Slim]

LETS GOOO ABRAR MISTRYYYYYY AYYYY, someone tell the sound mixer to adjust the sound.

 

[Energy]

Well done Abrar.

 

[followed]

He has to bowl like santner. Just tight lines.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bring Khushdil on the other end. These two can be our Nomi and Sajid ( LOI version)

 

[jattafridi]

Need 3 more wickets before 25 overs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

With one wicket my mood went from we are crap to we are going to win the cup

 

[jamie smith]

Abrar, the guy who should "bowl to 10 year olds in his backyard", according to some, gets the breakthrough.

You dont need to taste the whole sea to find out if it is salty.
One ball doesnt make him a good player,he is awful.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well done Abrar.

When you coming to CS

 

[followed]

Very good over by nerd abrar.

 

[kingusama92]

Great start from Abrar.

 

[Nado_]

It is just criminal that we only selected one mainline spinner in the squad. I just can’t get my head around it.

 

[shamaan]

Well done Harry Potter.
