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

[Greenstorm]

Harris will not last long. Santner is using rough.

 

[dani rana]

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

Mate he only collects a pay cheque mere masoom hum watano

 

[Afhan Ali]

Offfs

 

[QalandarFan]

Oh lord

 

[BleedGreen]

Haris struggling against Santy. 4 more overs of him left.

 

[AdamM97]

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

I’m okay with Hafeez since we had no other option apart from Rizwan, but selecting Malik was criminal.

 

[Green Patriot]

My heart is skipping a beat at every ball.
Just cant take this.Its killing me.

 

[Nov15]

Vicious turn! Either phainty or wicket coming.

 

[JibranAnsari]

this is very tough out there, cant blame the batsmen.

 

[uberkoen]

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

Malik is anyway done for. Hafeez needs to be done away with but who will replace him in the playing XI during the World Cup?

 

[Madplayer]

Bhai haris aqal use kar yaar. Why give yourself room. its turning into you.

 

[Syed1]

Bachat

 

[Firebat]

"Hafeez's shot was brainless, it really was" - Nasser Hussain

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Harry just get through this dudes overs!

 

[uberkoen]

My heart is skipping a beat at every ball.
Just cant take this.Its killing me.

Chill out bro. We got this!

 

[Hasan123]

Spin looks the danger now. Think these 2 will be fine against the pace bowlers. Just need to see off this spell.

 

[Kianig89]

Santner 6 overs for 12

 

[cric_man]

Req. Run Rate creeping up towards 6

 

[Ronaldo7]

Miracle miracle.
We've scored off santner.

 

[bluevision]

NZ missing out on 2nd spinner.

 

[Jeetlodil]

just bat out Santner

 

[Pakpak]

Belter of a pitch! [MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION]

 

[AdamM97]

Malik is anyway done for. Hafeez needs to be done away with but who will replace him in the playing XI during the World Cup?

Rizwan, Asif Ali, Sharjeel Khan(demoting someone to 4), Abid Ali and Khushdil Shah.

 

[IAJ]

If BD, AFG or IND get this wicket, well good luck to the batsmen.

 

[imshally81]

Welcome boundary for Pakistan

 

[pakistani pride]

Disgrace of a pitch.
Looks like a test match wicket on day 5!

 

[BleedGreen]

Haris survives. 4 more over of Santner left.

Pak 116/3 after 27 overs.

Pak need 122 runs from 132 balls.

 

[Kianig89]

Sigh a boundaries

 

[CricFan2012]

I need some optimism, someone help please

 

[Jeetlodil]

Win predictor 73% Pak

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Chill out bro. We got this!

Haha. I'm sooo tense

 

[Nov15]

Halfway!

 

[QalandarFan]

This will be Babar’s best innings mark my words he will win this match for us!

 

[cricketfan11]

Babar is a gifted batsman and keeps getting compared to Kohli etc but this match will be a test of his match winning ability.
Needs to stay there until the end but for God's sake learn how to play in the gaps

 

[UP]

This is not a good One Day pitch.

 

[Plumb]

Please only 4 left from Santner play him out for 0 runs we still have chance

 

[Syed1]

Come on boys we got this

 

[Madplayer]

This is the worst pitch to bat on.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

They need to be getting some singles, these blocks and air shots are doing nothing.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez has sold us down the river

 

[JibranAnsari]

barely surviving

 

[QalandarFan]

I need some optimism, someone help please

Mitch Santner has 4 overs left he’s the only threat we’ve got this bro chill out.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Shadab was very very poor

 

[Hasan123]

One of the semis is on this ground. Wouldn't want to play india here.

 

[Jeetlodil]

One has to blame Hafeez for this pressure

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i am very nervous

 

[Ahmed216]

Malik is anyway done for. Hafeez needs to be done away with but who will replace him in the playing XI during the World Cup?

They haven't selected any1

 

[JibranAnsari]

and imad was darting on this pitch

 

[Madplayer]

Mutthiah Kane williamsontharan

 

[imshally81]

Williamson... U 2

 

[BleedGreen]

Thought Haris was a good player of spin?

118 required from 126 balls

 

[Kianig89]

Warning for Edgbaston may be ir

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Disgrace of a pitch.
Looks like a test match wicket on day 5!

What does that say about our 'spinners'?

 

[FanofCricket]

Santner Excellent over.

 

[JellyBro]

This is not looking good at all

 

[Jeetlodil]

Looks like Kane Muralitharan is bowling

 

[Ahmed216]

Shame on u Imad even williamson is doing well on this pitch

 

[Green Patriot]

Chill out bro. We got this!

InshaAllah.

 

[Darkness]

and imad was darting on this pitch

It's criminal on a pitch like this

 

[Ronaldo7]

Thought Haris was a good player of spin?

118 required from 126 balls

He's a good player of spin that's why he's still there.

 

[FanofCricket]

2 slips for santner

 

[Syed1]

Bhai why you driving when ball spinning away viciously and slip there... seriously Haris lacks common sense

 

[Kianig89]

This is unplayable it seems

 

[JibranAnsari]

nz shouldnt have scored more than 160 on this pitch with shadab imad and hafeez bowling for us.

 

[Sycamore]

If BD, AFG or IND get this wicket, well good luck to the batsmen.

Yep, let's not underestimate how well Pak batsmen are hanging in there. Just need to keep it up for 20 more overs.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez has sold us down the river

He’s tryna make a match outta of it.

Who knows maybe he’s working for ICC and this is his job.

 

[amirm]

NZ fielding has been excellent

 

[uberkoen]

These two are absolutely crucial here

 

[FanofCricket]

Pressure building they should looks to rotate strike

 

[Syed1]

Imad has to be the worst "spinner" in world cricket these days

 

[Dingolfy]

They need to be getting some singles, these blocks and air shots are doing nothing.

I have told you your batsmen have to play out of their skins to win this as this is no easy pitch and you guys are poor chasers. And that’s exactly what is happening now.

 

[AdamM97]

Not having two proper spinners have hurt Pakistan. This pitch was perfect for a spinner, too bad we chose raillu kattas like Hafeez and Imad to bowl 10 overs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

req run rate getting close to 6

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Babar is a gifted batsman and keeps getting compared to Kohli etc but this match will be a test of his match winning ability.
Needs to stay there until the end but for God's sake learn how to play in the gaps

He is not anywhere near virat but he is best by Pak's standards.

 

[Kianig89]

All rests on these 2 get us to 50 more runs fellas

 

[JellyBro]

Maybe NZ are spinning it too much . A bit of variation and pak batsmen will be back in the pavilion

 

[Asif321]

This is getting tense thanks to hafeez

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This pitch is awful

 

[Plumb]

Play out Santner guyz just play him out ... don't give him wicket pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[barah_admi]

Pakistan need to be ugly here, bring the leg out, kick the ball out of the rough and Babar needs to keep collecting runs. Go at 3 or 4 an over and leave it in the last 10 overs because that is very doable. It was doable 20 years ago.
