Pakistan (107/3) secure a convincing 7-wicket victory against Canada (106/7) in a must win game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[jnaveen1980]

Timing is going to be horrible on this pitch.

 

[MK7Z]

Even the comms confirming what we have all known for years. Pakistan havent a clue about NRR lmao

 

[emranabbas]

Excuse will babar didn't open with rizwan to hold his hand that's why we lost

 

[Asif321]

Saim playing good shots but outfield is slow so he has to work hard for runs

 

[JilaWatan]

Sand based. SO it will be slow. Six is better option than 4

Lol we don't hit 6s

 

[JaDed]

Atleast they are somewhat rotating the strike, man Minnows have given good competition this time

 

[jnaveen1980]

Once the fields spread scoring will be very hard. Pakistan has to be ahead of the rate to get the NRR they want

 

[RidiculousMan]

Unless you are nailing your drive with power like Babar. You are not getting a four here like this. Outfield is awfully slow. Better look to play straight and more aerial for sixes

 

[Croma]

I dont think Pakistan is looking at run rate

 

[stani_pak]

if boundaries dont come just run hard

 

[emranabbas]

This pitch is only going to get worse now is the chance to make runs but rizwan wants to play tuktuk

 

[Hyder]

This is not intl cricket worthy ground. Let alone wc

 

[Speedster1]

Outfield is incredibly slow, boundaries are going to be hard to come by …

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Do these even do gym work?. Laziest athletes in history

 

[KingKhanWC]

we saw IFTI the beast & Azam the hulk

Strong batters not just strong eating men .

Should be going for run rate here , 10+ over min but can’t clear the ropes on this outfield

 

[JaDed]

Even the comms confirming what we have all known for years. Pakistan havent a clue about NRR lmao

They have never cared about it. I feel like they only care about runs and wickets in basic words addition but division multiplication becomes too much for the management.

 

[RidiculousMan]

You need Azam Khan on this ground

 

[Devadwal]

Good start by Pakistan

 

[followed]

Drameybaazi shuru iss khote ki.

 

[JilaWatan]

Playing dots against Canada is criminal

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Saim hasn't learned his lesson

 

[Asif321]

Play azam khan in next game . What’s the use of shadab ?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afridi

Razzaq

Moin

This team

What a travesty

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped

 

[Croma]

Saim is really lucky...lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saim almos perished with his "yes look" shot.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saim should thank god Canadian fielders are more on the heavy side. Otherwise any decent side would've taken this catch

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan acting started

 

[AAli98]

You need Azam Khan on this ground

Why is there a food stall on the pitch?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan has opportunit for acting now. he should make full use of it

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan shouldn’t try that leg side hacking

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@mominsaigol Subpar scores , crappy bowler like Kaleem Sana, dropped catch. Canada don't look like they are even competing , brother.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why is there a food stall on the pitch?

To shake things up

 

[jnaveen1980]

Robert Rizwaniro

 

[JaDed]

That drop is game over , drops in such moments take away the game

 

[NeVerMind]

You need Azam Khan on this ground

That's just ridiculous, man...

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan shouldn’t try that leg side hacking

Definitely. Specially not against Gordon whose angling it away. He's just gonna top edge it to WK

 

[Asif321]

Ireland can’t beat US I feel

 

[JilaWatan]

Rizwan please maaf kerdo we didn't come here to see your acting.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why Rizwan didn't hit that!?

 

[JaDed]

@mominsaigol Subpar scores , crappy bowler like Kaleem Sana, dropped catch. Canada don't look like they are even competing , brother.

They are panicking, most panicking cricket this tournament yet.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

To shake things up

Skibbidybop.

Oh lol Saim

 

[mominsaigol]

@mominsaigol Subpar scores , crappy bowler like Kaleem Sana, dropped catch. Canada don't look like they are even competing , brother.

It'll get harder from here. However I've always said to withhold judgment. Magar you can boast Pakistan, I don't mind, you a homie.

 

[emranabbas]

Waste of powerplay

 

[castortroy]

Saim gone

 

[adzzy786]

I think Babar should be batting at 4 or 5, need Fakar at 3.

 

[Croma]

Saim goes .... what a flop innings

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am trying to understand Akram's point here. How important the NRR is here? Can't they make up in the next game

 

[Asad T]

loll

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They are panicking, most panicking cricket this tournament yet.

They are lowest ranked T20I side in this tournament and it's showing.

 

[JaDed]

That drop is game over , drops in such moments take away the game

What a waste.

 

[castortroy]

This will be a struggle to get this total

 

[RidiculousMan]

You're not hacking boundaries on this ground with cross bat shots. You need to play straight.

 

[NeVerMind]

Saim flops again

 

[followed]

Lol his strike rate in T20wc is 113. What a player.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So mediocre

 

[adzzy786]

Saim another flop

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Cross bat crap. If you want to cement a place in the side then playing through the line is not the worst idea.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This will be a struggle to get this total

110 is a par total on this wicket. Canada are more than in, in the game.

 

[Markhor]

More hype than substance is Saim Ayub.

 

[Croma]

Rameez will be very happy to see his favorite Riz-Bar combo.. Buttering is gonna start in the commentary box.

 

[emranabbas]

Needed fakhar here before the pitch got harder

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sayum depends on pace on the ball which he can use. He cannot generate pace on his own by the look of it. He is no Virendar sehwag let us face it. Sehwag had incredible bat speed.

 

[adzzy786]

Babar is a selfish player . Always been a supporter of his but considering he didn’t take ANY middle order batsman with him. He himself should be batting in the middle order!!!

 

[OldWarHorse]

Saim Ayub doesn't have any confidence whatsoever. Ugly way to get out

 

[Usman Chadda]

I am trying to understand Akram's point here. How important the NRR is here? Can't they make up in the next game

This is all academic honestly.

NRR is not going to matter when it there’s a flood in Florida next week.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar coming in to waste more overs. Just send Fakhar for f's sake.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not the pitch where you can play for NRR.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Oh well let's find some calculations in case we lose this match, after all we are going to the next round

 

[JaDed]

Lucky catch by Shreyas bhai

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar will play with straight bat. He should look to stay as he can score runs on this wicket

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan should have been playing in Caribbean . USA has been disaster

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is all academic honestly.

NRR is not going to matter when it there’s a flood in Florida next week.

Yea.. his point is also under the assumption all games will go as scheduled. On a flat florida wicket it is easy to make up for NRR.

 

[JaDed]

if it becomes run a ball it will become interesting

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar coming in to waste more overs. Just send Fakhar for f's sake.

Shouldn't it be if Rizwan gets out, Babar can come in and play his anchor role and if Saim gets out, then Fakhar/Usman...but no...

 

[Croma]

WHy is Rizwan distracting Babar?

 

[PakFan2010]

Why are the commentators talking about net run rate?

For Pakistan to qualify, USA have to lose vs India and Ireland. If USA lose, their NRR will be much lower.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If i were Babar i would promote Naseem shah up the order to have a crack

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Yea.. his point is also under the assumption all games will go as scheduled. On a flat florida wicket it is easy to make up for NRR.

Ireland will have bats in their hands as well, not sticks, they will score too.

 

[shaaik]

I dont think Pakistan is looking at run rate

Pak just has to win both the games and hope USA lose their both games .. pak wd hv better run rate than USA n Ireland
