New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 33, World Cup | Edgbaston | June 26, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[dildilpak]

Cant they score slowly, why are they taking risky runs?

 

[Syed1]

Umar is better than Malik + Imad + (half of Fakhar) combined.

He is equal in weight to all those combined as well

 

[Strike!]

You just need singles for crying out loud.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

babar is the key to this chase

 

[Syed1]

Nothing ball should have been dispatched to the boundary by Babar

 

[Usman Chadda]

Its unbelievable how bad that delivery was, and how it got a wicket.

NZ have all the luck man.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Why it's always difficult to watch pakistan bat?

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

v difficult situation for the boys as the pressure is back now it will be which team handle pressure our boys are mentality v weak sometimes in pressure situation so maybe they need to survive on the wicket for next 15 overs henry is bowling good but babar is solid v good balance and if he wants to show the ppl that he match winner this is the right situation for him to show and perform

 

[BleedGreen]

Imam feels like he wants to score big today

 

[Plumb]

He is equal in weight to all those combined as well

with only water in the diet

 

[Hawkeye]

Imam doing good at countering the swing.

Lovely.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan will still have a chance if they lose today, right?


Bould is getting a good shape.

 

[vprasanna83]

Boult getting some nice shape here

 

[darksher]

I refreshed my stupid lagging stream and one down, unbelievable

 

[Jeetlodil]

Boult has some shape going for him

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ferguson is the main danger. I'd say 80% with NZ just now

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Cant they score slowly, why are they taking risky runs?

I agree. Just survive and wait for bad delivery. Why take unnecessary risk. If Pak bats 50 overs sensibly they will win. There is no swing in the pitch.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Jeetlodil]

No second slip. lol

 

[AdamM97]

I refreshed my stupid lagging stream and one down, unbelievable

With Fakhar Zaman, you just gotta accept it. Hit or miss guy.

 

[Rayyman]

Here comes the guy with the spoilers

 

[BleedGreen]

Imam and babar centuries incoming

 

[JibranAnsari]

Imam doing good at countering the swing.

Lovely.

lol lay low with your applause.

 

[Tapeballcricket]

Cant they score slowly, why are they taking risky runs?

Kon samjahey inhain ab? basic stuff this is. When we need them to score fast they don't. When we need them to stay on crease, they get impatient!

 

[Syed1]

That was genuine edge.... bad captaincy to only have one slip

 

[Hawkeye]

Boult getting some nice shape here

Prasanna saheb, amazing that this is your 2nd post only.

Welcome to the club.

 

[Plumb]

Imam and babar centuries incoming

not enough score to do that

 

[Ahmed216]

babar is the key to this chase

I would say Imam. I expect babar to bottle in this mentally demanding situation

 

[Hasan123]

One of these 2 has to bat through.

 

[Syed1]

Here comes the guy with the spoilers

Honestly how is his stream always three four balls ahead

 

[BleedGreen]

Lovely edge for 4

 

[Jeetlodil]

For a change, Imams defence is looking very good

 

[AdamM97]

I would say Imam. I expect babar to bottle in this mentally demanding situation

A good challenge for Babar if he wants to be a world beater like Kohli, Williamson and Smith.

 

[UP]

Let’s see what Babar does today. These tough matches make players legend.

 

[Plumb]

Nice front foot by Imam... stay out of crease and keep playing like that

 

[imshally81]

That was genuine edge.... bad captaincy to only have one slip

Yes.. Sarfaraz is a very bad captain...

 

[AdamM97]

Boult is good but i’m more worried about Ferguson tbh.

 

[Rayyman]

C'mon Imam play that aagay barkay chikka

 

[ak619]

Lol Imam almost getting out handling the ball )

 

[Hawkeye]

lol lay low with your applause.

I don't jinx people, don't worry.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Soooooo nervous

 

[Titan24]

Imam is the key, he is mentally the strongest we have.

 

[Plumb]

Yes.. Sarfaraz is a very bad captain...

must be Sarfaraz fault

 

[UP]

Babar has been very soft throughout his career. Don’t want him to bottle it yet again in pressure game.

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol Imam almost getting out handling the ball )

How?

 

[Syed1]

Bobby is looking shaky while Imam is solid.... should get off strike

 

[Jeetlodil]

lol Babar

 

[imshally81]

Oh babar..
what a risky shot for 2 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

wth is babar doing.

 

[Hasan123]

Reckless batting.

 

[Plumb]

Imam is the key, he is mentally the strongest we have.

Absolutely ..... ooo chance as I write... really Babar?????????

 

[shah_1]

heart attack moment

 

[Green Patriot]

I hate this feeling of immense anxiety whenever we bat.

 

[Syed1]

Babar has the Akmal genes when it comes to temperament

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on boys, take the score to 150/1

 

[Rayyman]

Babar skipped the net session yesterday

 

[AdamM97]

Someone should tell Pak batsmen to play like it’s the 1st innings.

 

[Aaaaa]

Let’s see what Babar does today. These tough matches make players legend.

Babar does not have it in him. In another team h would be a T20 player.
In Pakistan he is our main hope. What a shame :

 

[Green Patriot]

Yay kis qism ka ghatiya shot tha Babar.

 

[Madplayer]

Poor running

 

[Rana]

Babar's scream of no is more horrifying than a cat's cry

 

[FanofCricket]

Wonder shot from babar

 

[Plumb]

Babar has the Akmal genes when it comes to temperament

Seriously.... his first 15-20 balls are very nervous...

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Good intensity from NZ on the field. They play as if their lives depend on it though it doesn't matter much for them. On the other hand we have Pakistan that turns up only when it really matters.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Babar's scream of no is more horrifying than a cat's cry

It's a war cry

 

[Titan24]

Babar trying his best there to bottle, need to calm down and show his class

 

[BleedGreen]

Babar will hit century today. Imam too

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent play by Imam.

 

[FanofCricket]

imam so far playing good defensive shots.

 

[Syed1]

Ok 5 off that over... just block and leave

 

[imshally81]

Babar's scream of no is more horrifying than a cat's cry

Exactly.. Give me a heart attack...

 

[bluevision]

Lol.. Pakistan wants to finish it in 30 overs. Good tactics incase it comes off..else foolish

 

[AdamM97]

Seriously.... his first 15-20 balls are very nervous...

Not a match winner but you can always rely on him to score 40+. It’s good that we have Haris Sohail and Hafeez in since they are good at chasing.

 

[Syed1]

Imam looking like best bat in the side who would have thought lmao

 

[imshally81]

6 runs in last over

 

[pakistanisgreat]

babar needs to take responsibility.

 

[Mean&Green]

Babar looking like he wants to get out early

 

[Rayyman]

Imam looking like best bat in the side who would have thought lmao

Best bat still to come

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think babar drag one on

 

[Titan24]

Just need 2-3 decent partnerships
