[Marooned]

Chasable target considering pitch and our standards is 230

Tapmad is fantastic. Well worth the subscription.

 

[emranabbas]

@emranabbas has gone quiet. I think he is enjoying this spell by Abrar too much.

What you on about gone quiet? I've just woke up not even turned my TV on yet

Any ways if he's doing well that's a good thing for pakistan

I'm not one of those posters who make claim so and so is good player then spend rest of my life defending that player on a online forum just to prove I was right.

If you want to play that game then I will tag you even time abrar does poor and humiliate you

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan should let Latham play all overs till 45.

Looks like Kiwis will be shot out for 200 here

Come on guys, today, in the club, we all together under one banner. @RedwoodOriginal

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Essy win for pakistan.

Nothing is easy with Pakistan

 

[BouncerGuy]

Will young has completed his 50... Good knock so far.... need to get him out now

 

[Major]

Tapmad is fantastic. Well worth the subscription.

Yeh they provide good quality, i just hate their dishonest business practice where they subtract more money.


Khushdil is back and bowling really well

 

[castortroy]

Update:
Fakhar Zaman is being assessed and examined for a muscular sprain and further updates will be provided in due course.

That's him out of the tournament

Mixing guy is terrible and they seem to have let one of the stadium mics either turned on or the volume on that stadium mic is higher than others. @Saj bhai can you tweet pcb?

 

[RyanRyan10]

how many do u want in an over??

One over is just 10% of a Bowler's quota. He has bounced back.

 

[Rana]

What you on about gone quiet? I've just woke up not even turned my TV on yet

This is too funny

 

[G0rmintAunty]

I had bought 2 etickets from Germany, couldn't go though but my friend, the second ticket holder went. I got an email last week that even if you have etickets you have to get a physical one from TCS, where my friend went to pick up the tickets and they said they dont give physical tickets and zo go to the stadium on match day, which he also just did but they are not letting him in with the e ticket. Good thing I didn't travel 8000 kms because I knew this khuaari will happen. Useless country.

If pakistan can't chase below 250 than God help this team .

Yeah I’ll let my mate know who works there

How is the entire production team not noticing? Ridiculous.

Lol fans are giving their own commentary and it is getting mixed with official commentators.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Meanwhile sir @Dr_Bassim still praying for 400+

Guy bought a UHD for this match, only to wish NZ to score 400

No I wanted to see Rizwan strike at 70s while you go into raptures and delights at his brilliant knocks.

I think I still will get to see that.

I would have added Babar to the list too but it seems he wouldnt even buy a run nowadays even if it was offered in charity.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

No wonder half the stadium is empty. many eticket holders cant even get in.

 

[castortroy]

What's happening with fakhar
Need him back for the chase

If its muscle spasm, he is out of tournament

 

[Major]

Lovely chirping by Rizwan. He is right, Agha is standing there, bhai make a dive save every run.


Khushdil bowling really well. Great over of part time spin

 

[Human786]

NZ needs to go 4-4.5 on over till 35 with Santu at 8 . 80/3 in 18

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is the first time I’m noticing Will Young. What has happened to me. I used to know even minnow nation players lol

 

[Marooned]

Pakistan peaked at right time

Wat peak. We are 18 overs in.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If pakistan can't chase below 250 than God help this team .

Can't disagree with that

 

[Slim]

 

[Bewal Express]

After seeing Khushdil bowling raging turners, we are in real trouble against Mitch Santner and Bracewell. Any score of 230 plus will take some doing

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Too many wrist slitters. Home tournament, team is doing well, take a day off.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lovely chirping by Rizwan. He is right, Agha is standing there, bhai make a dive save every run.

This is the perfect script for you right?

Pakistan have to chase 220 odd, Babar and Rizwan snail their way to 221 in 49th over and you troll everyone thinking how Pakistan has turned over a new dawn.

Only to not win the tournament again.

2017 and counting.

Age and responsibilities my friend happens to all of us

 

[Kianig89]

Wicket looks dry , batting against Santner and Bracewell will be tough

 

[BouncerGuy]

Will young is the danger here...

 

[Marooned]

This is the first time I’m noticing Will Young. What has happened to me. I used to know even minnow nation players lol

He played a couple good knocks vs India in tests in India.

You should know.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

I was looking for the tickets & they said it's sold out.

How is this a sold out crowd?

 

[Slim]

How is the entire production team not noticing? Ridiculous.

I hate to imply anything but the production team is from India. Its a star production. I think the issue is finally fixed now? Not sure.

 

[Kianig89]

If Fakhar gets injured then it's a hammer blow

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is the first time I’m noticing Will Young. What has happened to me. I used to know even minnow nation players lol

He played a key knock in the test series in India

There is enough in the pitch for good bowlers.

Whether dew changes anything this evening will be interesting.

bhai whats your problem? I still dont get it, buying a UHD stream and than bashing Pakistan, even thought even thought hey are playing well.

We dont create highly aggressive players and never will as we are not an atheletic nation. Just accept it. Its been like this for the last 20 years

Also Pak's kit is sek see af. These light colors always look better than the darker themes. Glad we switched back

This is Pakistan vs New Zealand game... What is India doing here???

 

[Major]

umm no there isnt for pace bowlers. Nice try to claim this that the pitch is doing it with for bowlers.

Pace is never easy to bat against which is why Naseem and Rauf got wickets. Abrar has always been better with the new ball.

So if NZ takes wickets, they are good, if Pakistan does its due to pitch.

Accept not winning tournaments?

Why should I?

Will Young is the last person in this NZ line-up that anyone expected to do well

 

[emranabbas]

We just making up for not putting the flag up

 

[Major]

This is Pakistan vs New Zealand game... What is India doing here???

They are still doing ground inspection and still have hope that the tournament gets shifted

 

[BouncerGuy]

Khushdil is bowling a bit fast... he should be slower

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We would have played it if Rachin was playing

This is the second time i have seen a boundary on the same side, can we put a fielder there please?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

PAK has kept the run-rate in-check but Young is starting to look dangerous now.

 

[Omer2002]

Khushdil is bowling a bit fast... he should be slower

Exactly he is gettin turn more than the rest should slow down

 

[Kianig89]

It's a virtual QF ,Rizwan should be mindful of that no slip ups

 

[Dr_Bassim]

umm no there isnt for pace bowlers. Nice try to claim this that the pitch is doing it with for bowlers.

So if NZ takes wickets, they are good, if Pakistan does its due to pitch.

Oh bhai let NZ bowl first, then compare if Pakistan bowled better.

You already assuming NZ will bowl trash, Pakistan bowled well and Pakistan won the game.

 

[emranabbas]

Sir jee, you just woke up. Check the other thread

Must be going off in there

 

[Slim]

PAK has kept the run-rate in-check but Young is starting to look dangerous now.

Him and Glen are two key wickets.

 

[Slim]

Must be going off in there

Now which thread is that? @Major

 

[Rana]

Young has been good because he is perfectly waiting for the ball both against pace and spin

A bit obvious but it is what it is.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Time to bring Salman in the mix... He might come handy against latham

 

[Kianig89]

Khusdil darts in with left arm angle to give 4-5 cheap overs , a philosophy presented by Owl's head

what does nz bowling have to do with our bowling?

Anyone who watches cricket can judge if we are bowling well or not. The fact that you want to judge our already bowling bowlers after NZ bowls just shows the biased opinion.

I didnt assume NZ will bowl trash. What i have said is Pakistan has bowled well, especially Rauf and Naseem on a flat track that has nothing for pacers.

And I have creditted Abrar for bowling well with the new ball. Now when the ball gets old after the 25 over, i dont know if he will bowl good or bad, so letss see

 

[Human786]

21 overs - 94/3 - good over

Let's hope so. In 2019 WC Babar And Haris, played perhaps 2 of great WC innings and won at Edgbaston on a Wicket that played worse than this.
