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

[bluevision]

Hafeez got out before Lockie Kardasian returns.

Pakistan fav from here, nevertheless.

 

[Amirforpresident]

From ESPN: I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Mickey Arthur if I was Hafeez right now

 

[BleedGreen]

Just milk singles. No risks

 

[QalandarFan]

Everything depends on Bobby now. Match is on him. Show your worth bobby.

Ooooffff that was close.

Haris is the better player of spin he should look to hog the strike when Santner is on plus he’s left handed.

 

[Syed1]

Phewwwww

 

[Shaddy86]

I'd*ot of the highest order. Keeps doing the same thing over and over again.. We lost to Australia coz of hafeezs stupidity and now we're under pressure again coz of him.

 

[Kianig89]

Living on the edge now sixes and sevens

 

[Shafi]

127 looks like 227 now!!!!

 

[BleedGreen]

Sharp spin from santy

 

[cricketfan11]

Hafeez proves once again he is unable to cope with pressure.
Pakistan not even halfway through.

 

[JellyBro]

Inb4 the collapse. Sarfaraz getting his speech ready...."turning paient was losing 4 wickets in 4 overs"

 

[member250]

There was no need for that shot at all, stupid hafeez. At least hit in gap.

 

[Asif321]

It’s not easy to bat here we have only Sarfraz left nothing else

 

[Madplayer]

Haris is the better player of spin he should look to hog the strike when Santner is on plus he’s left handed.

True. Against santner haris needs to hog the strike.

 

[Hasan123]

Haris off the mark.

 

[JibranAnsari]

i wont blame pakistans batting if we lose

 

[Kianig89]

Head down eyes on ball play on merit mantra for next foreseeable overs

 

[member250]

Inb4 the collapse. Sarfaraz getting his speech ready...."turning paient was losing 4 wickets in 4 overs"

 

[barah_admi]

What are they doing? Should have sent Sarfraz for now....and what are these shots? Play normal cricket you !!!

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Babar has got his 50, dont expect him to stay much longer, this is as much as he can play

 

[Sycamore]

Somebody used their feet, finally

 

[Greenstorm]

Sarfaraz should have promoted himself. Harris will struggle against spin.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rameez please go for some overs now. You jinx

 

[Hasan123]

Santner is bowling well. We don't seem to have a answer.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez made 32 from 50 and then brainfreeze

 

[Jeetlodil]

This is looking like a test match in Sri Lanka

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Can't work out whether our batsmen are playing badly or our spinners were garbage earlier on.

 

[BleedGreen]

Babar on 49.

Pak 112/3 after 26 overs.

Need 126 runs from 144 balls.

 

[Syed1]

Somebody used their feet, finally

Its because ball is turning into the leftie very less chance of stumping

 

[UP]

Knew it Williamson will get one. We have made North, Maxwell, Finch, Williamson and countless other legends when it comes to bowling. If you need a wicket against Pak, bring any laloo panjoo bowler and you will get one.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hafeez has played his role. He did enough to steer the ship out of trouble. He has already done more than most other batsmen this tournament with his innings vs England and today.

 

[Shafi]

Why didn't Sarfraz come to bat. He is good against spin. Brainless captain

 

[Rayyman]

Babar isn't great against spin but Haris is good.

 

[Boi]

Williamson the destroyer

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 126 runs with 7 wickets and 24.0 overs remaining

 

[ARK Rafay]

Keep an eye on the req. Run rate

 

[Asif321]

Still can’t get over to that hafeez shot

 

[Slog]

Man we never can do things simply

 

[Jeetlodil]

Can't work out whether our batsmen are playing badly or our spinners were garbage earlier on.

Spinners were garbage along with super garbage captaincy

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson will bowl bad balls. Just need to put them away.

 

[AdamM97]

I ask once again, why do we struggle against part time bowlers. First Finch, then Markram and now Williamson. Two times it’s been hafeez.

 

[Syed1]

Seems like they are batting in Nagpur on Day 5 trying to save a test

 

[Madplayer]

Just need to get to 180 without any further loss of wickets.

 

[Titan24]

Just need another good partnership here

 

[imshally81]

50 for babar

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar has got his 50, dont expect him to stay much longer, this is as much as he can play

This is the perfect type of score for him to chase down he will get a hundred Insh’Allah!

 

[Plumb]

From ESPN: I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Mickey Arthur if I was Hafeez right now

Not really... he is the one who keep promoting garbage like Malik and hafeez .. don't expect them to do wonders ...

 

[JibranAnsari]

babar your work isnt done yet

 

[Jeetlodil]

Keep an eye on the req. Run rate

Not for the next 14 overs

 

[Asif321]

Why didn't Sarfraz come to bat. He is good against spin. Brainless captain

Kane will bring ferguson for him

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Santner is bowling well. We don't seem to have a answer.

The answer is to use your feet and work the ball for runs. Not jump down the crease and try to hit 6.

 

[Plumb]

Just need to get to 180 without any further loss of wickets.

that should be game then ... Now KW will run through us?? seriously people???

 

[AdamM97]

Well done for your fifty Babar. Now you need to convert it into a match winning century!

 

[Green Patriot]

A very crucial 50 and very sensibly played.
He needs to make this count though.

 

[QalandarFan]

Not smart of NZ to continue with the part time of KW. I’d being on Lockie.

 

[member250]

Time for Babar to score 100 when it matters.

 

[BleedGreen]

115/3 after 27 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

fantastic fielding , they have saved around 20 in the field.

 

[Madplayer]

Seems like they are batting in Nagpur on Day 5 trying to save a test

I was telling you. After 80-5 NZ should not have scored these many. Pakistan are mentally weak while chasing. I have my bloody heart in my mouth

 

[Hasan123]

The golden duo need to do it today.

 

[Rayyman]

Babar will fall on 98

 

[Plumb]

The answer is to use your feet and work the ball for runs. Not jump down the crease and try to hit 6.

Only if we ever work on our basics

 

[Titan24]

If Babar can get a 100 and Pak chases successfully, his stature in world cricket would be much more

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need a 80 odd partnership from these two...

 

[Bewal Express]

Why has Sarfraz not come in. He plays spin well and this was his opportunity

 

[dildilpak]

Only Pak can make Williamson look like Warne

 

[Plumb]

Babar will fall in on 98

with total for pak at 226

 

[Ronaldo7]

Babar will fall in on 98

Doesn't matter. That should be the game if babar scores 90+.

 

[Madplayer]

that should be game then ... Now KW will run through us?? seriously people???

Really nervous.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Babar will fall on 98

i will take that at this moment as long we win

 

[ARK Rafay]

Uff these Santner 4.4 overs. Need to see it through

 

[cricketfan11]

Keep an eye on the req. Run rate

That and I don't know how capable NZ bowlers are with reverse swing but if something is on offer I wonder if Boult etc will make life hard even in later overs.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Even I would look like Murali on this pitch

 

[BleedGreen]

This guy is spinning it too much

 

[Ahmed216]

I seriously think Pak deserve to lose for banking on seniors like hafeez and malik

 

[uberkoen]

Babar needs to be smart here. Play a long innings. No need to accelerate. Just absorb the pressure and play it out

 

[Jeetlodil]

This is when CDG and Neesham built a partnership

 

[imshally81]

Harris

 

[JibranAnsari]

only a miracle that santy hasnt had a wicke yet

 

[Madplayer]

Haris what the hell are you trying to do.
