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

[zn426]

This is good stuff, 238 on scorecard and it’s still very nerve wrecking for a Pakistani. We all love a bit of competition.

At least on this pitch we can dare to dream. Harder to do that chasing 300+.

 

[Jeetlodil]

need either Imad or Wahab to play a blinder here

 

[Sherazkhalid]

105 left

Still a lot left, until it is down to 25 or so, it's still in NZ favor, just couple more wickets and 1992 is over.

 

[member250]

even sky analysts shocked

 

[FanofCricket]

Babar on strike against lockie

 

[Mp812]

RR is creeping up. 5.62!!!! Hafeez as usual put us into trouble

in T20 era that is not much. relax

 

[ARK Rafay]

Anything over 6 req. Run rate for the last 10 overs and the game will be 50/50

 

[imshally81]

Good running again

 

[FanofCricket]

Still a lot left, until it is down to 25 or so, it's still in NZ favor, just couple more wickets and 1992 is over.

Wahab is still there remeber the name

 

[BleedGreen]

Good running

 

[Slog]

Forget Harry if only Shadab and Imad did something with the bowl

Beyond me why people are acting as if Harris, a certified part timer, would have taken many wickets or bowled well.

Just because you’re left handed doesn’t mean you’ll bowl well on the pitch. You actually have to do that.

It’s like ruing at end of a match that why didn’t Shaheen get to bat

 

[AdamM97]

Babar has the chance to shut down the critics here with a match winning century. Will he do it?

 

[Sycamore]

Nzl scored 85 off the last 10, on this pitch ff

 

[Hasan123]

Every run is vital. Good running.

 

[Green Patriot]

I can't watch the game as I am at work and this thread is killing me too.

Ditch work and watch the match

 

[Madplayer]

Don't SL and Bangladesh have to lose most or all of their games too?

Bangladesh will have to play against Pakistan in one match.

 

[Plumb]

When pak chases there should be a warning on tv... this game is not for the faint hearts

 

[Jeetlodil]

These 102 runs look like 150. NZ made 85 in the last 10

 

[Kianig89]

Nerve wrecking this is now imagine this type of game for WC final

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

These 2 are cruising ... Omnious signs for kiwis

 

[BleedGreen]

102 required from 108 balls

 

[Syed1]

Atleast Harry is looking calm

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Crucial over

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need 102 in 18

 

[saeed5646]

Miss out on four .babar looking edgy

 

[ARK Rafay]

When pak chases there should be a warning on tv... this game is not for the faint hearts

A 100% agree with you sir.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Nzl scored 85 off the last 10, on this pitch ff

and people were so cool about it

 

[FanofCricket]

With sarfaraz not in good form this pair needs to take this game deep till 45 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

freddie mercury has real good pace

 

[mrtaim3]

Pakistan need to pace it up now. Dont need to leave too many runs behind for last 10 overs

 

[barah_admi]

RR is not a problem here guys, Pakistan well ahead of the balls. They can not lose wickets. These two need to get to about 200 without losing more with 5 or 6 overs left.

 

[FanofCricket]

Cant rotate strike

 

[Asif321]

I’m having serious headache I never been so nervous

 

[IAJ]

India chased down 227 against SA in the 48th over, so Pakistan are doing fine on this minefield so far.

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 to get

 

[Madplayer]

Hafiz is chase ka mujrim so far for Pakistan's chase.

 

[ARK Rafay]

102 required from 108 balls

The gap is closing

 

[pakistanisgreat]

do not let run rate go over 6

 

[Jeetlodil]

100 runs now

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Babar please do not get out now.. Harris looking good.

 

[FanofCricket]

Allah tera shukar required runs now down to two figures.Cmon pakistan you can do this.

 

[Madplayer]

99 to win now.

 

[Hasan123]

Drinks.

 

[Shafi]

Struggling against Williamson!!!!! At least try to score 5-6 runs against him

 

[Jeetlodil]

do not let run rate go over 6

It will. wickets are key

 

[Sycamore]

Santner has 18 balls , who will attack him

 

[pakistanisgreat]

game is getting closer and closer

 

[Green Patriot]

Under 100 needed now.

 

[Asif321]

99 more boys keep going
These both should play at end and don’t gift their wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

nz ius banking on pressure shot when rrr rises upto 7 an over

 

[FanofCricket]

Hafiz is chase ka mujrim so far for Pakistan's chase.

Hafeez Saved Babar Azam By keeping most of the strike himself.

 

[QalandarFan]

Santner has 18 balls , who will attack him

If it’s anyone it would be Haris best player of spin in the XI in my opinion.

 

[pakistani pride]

These 2 needs to have a good chat now and tell each other we bringing this chase home.

Lets do this!

 

[Kianig89]

Drinks break and by neutral perspective its even Stevens

 

[Syed1]

If it’s anyone it would be Haris best player of spin in the XI in my opinion.

More than best player he is a leftie.... so ball is spinning into him, always easier to play

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Only 99 more runs to get, excellent stuff from Pakistan

 

[Rifaqat]

We are losing this. I have got a bad feeling

 

[Dingolfy]

in T20 era that is not much. relax

This is not a road where your usual T20s are being played. Any new batsmen coming in will struggle.

 

[JellyBro]

Relax guys. 6 an over is not that big of a deal when we are talking about 17 overs. Need to respect the spin. Theres no way they can dominate the spinners in these conditions

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I cannot watch too tense

 

[Shafi]

RR is not a problem here guys, Pakistan well ahead of the balls. They can not lose wickets. These two need to get to about 200 without losing more with 5 or 6 overs left.

RR is a problem as well specially none of the batsmen can hit 6s every often. They will give catching practice

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need positive intent..we can win this boys...

 

[Abdullah719]

Nervous about Lockie's five overs. Don't think any of the remaining batsmen will survive against him for too long.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan's strategy just see out next 3 overs

 

[Jeetlodil]

who was talking about NRR. lol

 

[member250]

In few overs RRR may cross 6. It will not be easy scoring over 6 for 15 overs. Shows our spinners didn't take advantage of this pitch at all.

 

[Afhan Ali]

We are losing this. I have got a bad feeling

Same here
Why oue team give us electricity again ans and again

 

[Hyperion66]

Pak is going to lose this match if these two don't take calculated risk and try to accelerate a bit, too old a template this.

 

[MRSN]

Drinks break and by neutral perspective its even Stevens

NZ just need 1 wicket to expose our tail.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Most teams would struggle on this pitch

 

[amirm]

If they don’t play too many dots then we’re in this

 

[Hasan123]

Lockie to continue.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i am on training at new job. but focusing on match...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ferguson and Santmer are the key

 

[Kianig89]

Calm heads and serious batting req

 

[FanofCricket]

That coca cola ad is just so irritating.

 

[Shafi]

If we cannot play Williamson then its a big problem. 19 in 5 overs is really poor. At least we should score 27-28.

 

[MRSN]

who was talking about NRR. lol

Too much jazba junoon guys

 

[Kianig89]

97

 

[FanofCricket]

Good shot from babar but for 1 only
