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

Although there is plenty of time to chase this modest total, there is a slight panic concerning Pakistan's run rate.
Babar is very poor at rotating strike. He can't seem to penetrate the field even when there are 2 fielders in the circle on the on side and the ball is pitching at leg or outside leg.
They will lose concentration soon if they keep playing like this.
 
Any other team would be favourites to win from such a position. 154-3 needing 238. But we are talking about Pakistan here.
 
Because they are proper batsman - once set, looks like batsman and plays like batsman. These posedu "all-rounders" have been doing silly staff trough out their 35 years combined career.

Even guys like Misbah and Younis for some reason were poor for us in the ODI format. This team is the first time we have actually have modern batsman who can consistently get us to 300+ and also chase scores down and win us games.
 
I'm calm till these two are at the crease. One more wicket and I'll also start bricking like 99% of posters here
 
Important over to have there. Really important. So much work left to do but now these guys are set. It's up to them to take it home. I don't want to trust this to Sarfraz or Imad.
 
Who gives colin munro an over when so many overs of your main bowlers remain = Kane williamson
 
We winning this now boys
Now hope is high but I want these 2 to do it
Will be great for our future
 
Babar needs to calm down now!!!! 75 more runs. Needs to play calm another 30 -40 runs
 
Now PAK should win this comfortably. That critical period is negotiated. Wonder why Williamson is holding Boult so much.
 
Babar is trying to force Santner to come back on. Which is last thing Williamson wants to do.
 
Is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] watching this or crying in the corner? :yk

I respect your opinion but you said on a thread NZ will beat us . When I said it wont be that easy to due to Edgbaston track , you never responded.
 
Does number of wickets matter for NRR or overs remaining
 
Babar is the king of this batting lineup.

His deputy is Haris Sohail.

These two will be our top bats for a good number of years.
 
Why do people think it will be easy from here?
Knowing Pakistan we are just 1 wicket away from a collapse.

In sha Allah that wont happen but still
 
I really want Pakistan to win, if there was ever a match to earn back the love and support of your fan base, this would be it. Babar Azam and Haris Sohail powering through a spinning minefield. This is the kind of match you live for as a cricket fan.
