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

[RidiculousMan]

Of course it matters!!!

USA have won 2

Pakistan need to win their next 2 games (this one and Ireland)

Pakistan need USA to loose to India and Ireland

Which means Pakistan and USA have both won 2 each

What do you think it’s going to come down to?

If USA loses. Their NRR will take a hit. If Pakistan wins, their NRR will go up. There will only be a small difference. Pakistan will be playing their game last. So they will know exact equation.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

It's 18 runs margin we need US to lose by.

Rain will end us anyway

What is this rain thing coming ?

 

[lucky_fish]

Really confused about this start. Appreciate the safety first approach given our fragile team mind state and whilst NRR shouldn't be the be all... how about just coming out and trying to assert some authority to show the world that we can actually play T20 cricket??? Try to hit yourself into form... build positive vibes.... run hard. Just something.

Anything?!!!

 

[neonoir]

Canadian spinners are better than the Pak spinners! Who would have thought

 

[mominsaigol]

Canada fumbled with spin, Advantage Pakistan

 

[JilaWatan]

Pakistan gonna take this to the 19th over aren't they..... Pathetic

 

[stani_pak]

finally a boundary

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saad Zafar not an impressive spinner

 

[jnaveen1980]

Canadian captain is doing all he can lol

 

[shariqnoor]

Irrespective of the pitch, hitting only 2 boundaries in 9 overs against these Canadians is plain awful batting.

 

[Croma]

boundary. Pakistan now on top and Canada will have to take out their spinners and find a pacer now

 

[emranabbas]

If we want to depend on NRR then we need to finish this game by the 15th over

 

[RidiculousMan]

I don't think USA is going to lose to Ireland

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Didn't think I'd see the day we'd struggle v Canada

 

[jnaveen1980]

USA spinners are far more potent. No wonder USA is whipping these guys every time.

 

[JilaWatan]

Didn't think I'd see the day we'd struggle v Canada

I think it's more so the ptich and the outfield than anything else. Everyone has struggled to score.

 

[Croma]

66666666666666666666 Babar

 

[stani_pak]

would have love to see babar hit some sixes on on june 9th...if only haha

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan has won now, great effort. Canada fumbled.

 

[t_kaay]

That's more like it. For a moment I was thinking these 2 fools are going to tuk tuk to 100......we need to finish this fast.

 

[RidiculousMan]

AZAM Power!

 

[emranabbas]

Need few overs like these

 

[Asad T]

Kid is surprised that Babar can hit a 6

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very ordinary spinner this guy.

 

[JilaWatan]

Junaid is the discount Afridi

 

[t_kaay]

Gary Kirsten sent a message with those gloves........get on with it

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar calling for drink after hitting that six

 

[mominsaigol]

Very very poor from Canada. But credit to Pakistan for aiming to end in 15

 

[Croma]

There is no way, can lose from here. Now should try and ge the remaining quickly

 

[Croma]

Very very poor from Canada. But credit to Pakistan for aiming to end in 15

yeah, silly to continue with spinners.

 

[shaz619]

Imagine being a make a wish kid who supports Pakistan, you’re on your last legs, they say to you, hey there little guy, shall we put the cricket on, your favourite team is playing…

Who’s batting ?

Babar and Rizwan

Kid: I prefer death.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win comfortably.

 

[RidiculousMan]

As expected. Babar batting well on this pitch. His technique allows him to not only survive but continue to score runs on a pitch like this.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Typically, Babar and Rizwan performing when there is no real pressure and against the lowest ranked side in the World T20.

 

[battler]

Canadian spinners are really bad. Pakistan strolling this now

 

[adzzy786]

If USA loses. Their NRR will take a hit. If Pakistan wins, their NRR will go up. There will only be a small difference. Pakistan will be playing their game last. So they will know exact equation.

i dont know if this is your first tournament but how many times have we left it to the last game and NOT been able to do it? Do you think we possess the fire power when we struggled against USA?

We Need to get ahead now whilst we can!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

There is no way, can lose from here. Now should try and ge the remaining quickly

This is Pakistan bro

 

[mominsaigol]

@emranabbas we got a new term now Canada E Azam

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Canada wants to create panic they need seamers. These two spinners are pathetic.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Middle order cannot be trusted. These two need to win this for Pakistan.

 

[Mainul]

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

If USA loses to India and beats Canda Pakistan has no chance

 

[jnaveen1980]

If USA loses to India and beats Canda Pakistan has no chance

If India doesn't beat USA badly then it will be a problem as well.

 

[Croma]

common sense prevails. Seamer in on.

 

[emranabbas]

Rameez blabbering

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Gary Kirsten sent a message with those gloves........get on with it

Would be great if he did. Pakistan needs a convincing win for morale if nothing else.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Ramiz is so dumb. Why would Pakistan try to get a better NRR over USA today? If USA loses both their remaining games their NRR will plummit. Their NRR is not that good in the first place.

 

[Croma]

I think Pakistan are banking on India hammering USA big time.

 

[Asif321]

Now can only hope Ireland beats USA .

 

[Croma]

This is what Saim should have done, instead of trying to slog

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Typically, Babar and Rizwan performing when there is no real pressure and against the lowest ranked side in the World T20.

Still feels like they are stat-padding first priority to be honest.

 

[adzzy786]

Ramiz is so dumb. Why would Pakistan try to get a better NRR over USA today? If USA loses both their remaining games their NRR will plummit. Their NRR is not that good in the first place.

You do realise the difference in net run rate between Pakistan and USA

What if USA loose by 1 run and Pakistan beat Ireland by 1 run too?

I know that’s an extreme example
But there is a HUGE difference in run rate at the moment

 

[RidiculousMan]

i dont know if this is your first tournament but how many times have we left it to the last game and NOT been able to do it? Do you think we possess the fire power when we struggled against USA?

We Need to get ahead now whilst we can!

Last game is not on this ground I believe. So there's every chance of scoring quicker on other grounds

 

[Croma]

I think we can assume this game is in the bag. EVen Pakistan cannot lose from here.

 

[adzzy786]

Last game is not on this ground I believe. So there's every chance of scoring quicker on other grounds

I don’t think you understand my point. We should her close or ahead if we can now as there is no guarantee we can do it in the other game

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is what Saim should have done, instead of trying to slog

It beats the purpose of having Saim as opener doesn't it?

 

[JilaWatan]

Rameez blabbering

He loves him some RizBab

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now can only hope Ireland beats USA .

It is supposed to rain there. 90% chance. That match may get washed out.

 

[Croma]

Need coupla sixes from Riz

 

[RidiculousMan]

Partnership of 45 in 44 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

grand six lol

 

[adzzy786]

Babar Azam is so selfish

 

[JilaWatan]

Pakistan should win comfortably.

For me comfortably would mean under 15 overs. I doubt that happens

 

[jnaveen1980]

What happened to the rest of the cast? - Ramiz Raza

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

These two are not going for their shots unless they have to.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Lol, they are batting like they are facing Australia's attack.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Lol, they are batting like they are facing Australia's attack.

What do you want them to do? To risk a wicket here? Knowing well how good the middle order has been

 

[jnaveen1980]

These two are not going for their shots unless they have to.

"What if middle order fails" - Ramiz Raza has already provided justificaiton for that.

 

[emranabbas]

Oh bhai kuch NRR ka bhi soch lo

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lol, they are batting like they are facing Australia's attack.

Combined Imran Marshall Warne Mcgrath

 

[jnaveen1980]

After criticism of Rizwan's shot against Bumrah they have become circumspect

 

[Energy]

Atleast win in the 17th over man. Why drag it to the end?

 

[JilaWatan]

Lol, they are batting like they are facing Australia's attack.

Its the pitch bro

 

[mominsaigol]

Ramiz raja sucking off ba/riz opening in commentary despite every commentator telling him why babar is better at 3. Smh

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

What do you want them to do? To risk a wicket here? Knowing well how good the middle order has been

There's 38 runs left to get with 9 wickets in hand. Against Canada.

 

[Swing]

It'll be very funny if results go our way but we miss out on NRR.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh bhai kuch NRR ka bhi soch lo

Can't happen, I don't blame em this time. I critise when needed. Poor from Canada but babar and rizwan doing very well

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Babar Azam and Kaleem Sana were apparently teammates for Pakistan U-19 at the 2010 U-19 WC

 

[jnaveen1980]

ATG knock by Babar.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Babar at 3 makes sense.

Now make Fakhar open, anyone but Rizwan.

 

[JilaWatan]

Babar taking risks.... Am I dreaming?
