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]

This pitch gets slower and slower Realistically we need to go all out in the powerplay.

That's why it's best to go bang bang with Azam and Iftikhar. Realistically if one of them even scores 30 off 15 or 40 off 20. We got our start that we need. Then Babar and Rizwan can come in to consolidate. Because Azam and Iftikhar on current conditions and form won't be getting you quick 30/40 at the death.

 

[JaDed]

Insane how everyone is tuning up for this which should had been a no-context game

Azam and chacha will be walking wickets with the new ball in any conditions even roads.

 

[Shafi]

Rayudu trolling Pakistan in the pre- match analysis

'Canada going to win'

'These days beating Pakistan doesn't mean much as every other team is beating them. Can't be counted as an upset '

Its fact. Not trolling. These idiots needs to be shamed and kicked out

 

[Shafi]

As much as I hate Babar but Shaheen needs to be kicked out followed by Rizwan, Ifti, Rauf then Babar

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hopefully Canada can knock us out of the tournament and let us fans take it from their.

They have a chance , it almost seemed like last 2 matches were thrown away at the end . Thats how poor they played , no insinuation but in an ideal world an investigation after the tournament takes place .

For the moment, Pakistan still in it so fans should back the team .

 

[Ali Active]

Just tuning in to see saim ayub playing

In the USA game, US was in contrl until end when they threw it away but the guy who played slow hit a boundary in the last ball to take it to super over.

Agree on the Indian one.

What's this loser babar smiling about. These losers don't care about fans or team.

I want to wipe this smirk off his face.
Shameless individual.

very tough hearing Babar speak English ...

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saad Bin Zafar great English. Make him the next captain of Pakistan Cricket team.

 

[Shafi]

Winning even a game and all these culprits will be retained. Better loose all these matches to see some proper change rather than hear no talent, not enough time for experiments and keep same old rubbish

 

[t_kaay]

chacha out, saim out

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

[Asif321]

Finally chacha kicked out

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Insane how everyone is tuning up for this which should had been a no-context game

It's because everyone thinks Canada have a great chance to KO Pakistan from the tournament. It's car crash television at it's best/worst.

 

[followed]

Pathetic tailenders like Usman and shadab are still in the team.
This team is so so pathetic.

 

[AAli98]

This is usman khan is worse than those Sunday league freshie taxi uncles playing. How can they pick him after few psl games

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Finally chacha kicked out

He will back in 2027 WC with more strength.

 

[Rana]

120 and you will probably defend it here

 

[Rana]

Best venue to lose the toss and be put into bat

 

[Ali Active]

so only 2 batsmen and two medicore anchors

 

[ahmed16]

chacha out, saim out

Leaves Pakistan fielding ten players, you sure?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good that Saim is in. I don't care about result. Just hope that Saim performs so the world can see his talent

 

[JaDed]

Yeah also makes PCT the most entertaining team but that tag should no more be an honor.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Finally Iffi is dropped...Thanks babar

 

[RidiculousMan]

Finally Iffi is dropped...Thanks babar

Interesting to see now who comes at no. 5. Fakhar or Usman

 

[followed]

Hopefully I never see chacha in Pakistan colors again.
One of the worst player ever..

 

[Barragan]

Finally got the batsman right.

No more Iftikhar and Azam should have happened a long time ago.

Too late now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Interesting to see now who comes at no. 5. Fakhar or Usman

I guess fakhar should come up depending on situation.

 

[JaDed]

This is the right team.. maybe they finally got their eleven figured out.

Now bring in the momentum

 

[RidiculousMan]

I guess fakhar should come up depending on situation.

Yea. Depending on situation but out of both Usman and Fakhar. Fakhar is more capable batter to fit even at 5.

 

[zarak]

What does this say about squad selection when we are forced to play Shadab as a batter. Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal would have improved the balance so much more.

We could have played Aamer instead of Rauf and played Abrar as a specialist spinner.

 

[mazkhan]

Really hope saim fires today

 

[kingusama92]

This is about to be the greatest comeback of all time.

Seven in a row starts here.

 

[JaDed]

Babar seems to be king of tosses in T20..

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not to mention Abbas Afridi will be warming the bench. Because you can not play 5 pacers together.

 

[mominsaigol]

@Rana @emranabbas

Will we finally see fakhar and saim bat together? At 3 and 4

 

[stani_pak]

Being born and raised in Montreal Canada...who do i cheer for....of course Pakistan lets go...Abrar should come in place of Imad Wasim

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar dhusmani vs abrar lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar seems to be king of tosses in T20..

Not really. His toss win percentage is under 50%

 

[JaDed]

I’m sure Montreal cares more about Habs than the cricket team lol

 

[emranabbas]

@Rana @emranabbas

Will we finally see fakhar and saim bat together? At 3 and 4

Yes opening

they are the bakri ka balla today

On this pitch it's only possible to score in the powerplay rizbar will be hiding themselves and the excuse will be

"it was harder to score when the innings progressed"

 

[kingusama92]

Being born and raised in Montreal Canada...who do i cheer for....of course Pakistan lets go...Abrar should come in place of Imad Wasim

Win-win.

I'm wearing both jerseys and will switch depending on results.

 

[JaDed]

In wt20?

 

[Rana]

@Rana @emranabbas

Babar was put on the spot and asked by Nasser what number will Saim bat,

He said he will open

 

[Ali Active]

Shameless me watching the match again after swearing i wont watch this team again

 

[RidiculousMan]

In wt20?

Similar win percentage. Under 50%

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar was put on the spot and asked by Nasser what number will Saim bat,

Yes, he is going to open with Riz I believe.

 

[JaDed]

Shameless me watching the match again after swearing i wont watch this team again

Happens to the best of us, I lost it when India lost home series to England didn't want for an year lol until the next home series against Aus which we won (2012)

 

[t_kaay]

The tournament starts today for Pakistan. As usual, we have had the crap customary start to a tournament. Now we are cornered, it's time to show why we are known as being unpredictable. Easy win today against Canada followed by beating Ireland. No problem guys. We are bound for the super 8s . Have faith.

 

[Rana]

If Canada win today and their last game is rained off with India…they have a chance of qualifying?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shahid Afridi is coming in with the trophy!

Are these signs?

 

[JaDed]

Similar win percentage. Under 50%

wow thanks always seem to win when i see . Made an assumption

 

[Rana]

Yes, he is going to open with Riz I believe.

One of the two has to open in accordance to the constitution of Pakistan

 

[BouncerGuy]

If Canada win today and their last game is rained off with India…they have a chance of qualifying?

Too many ifs and buts. Should just go with the flow I guess.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Bat first and bat them out of the game. Score over 170 and get Canada off for under 100.

Pakistan are not good chasers. Their strength is still their bowling even though the bowling is also not that good.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Not to mention Abbas Afridi will be warming the bench. Because you can not play 5 pacers together.

Abbas would be really effective on these pitches as he bowls at the stumps on a good length unlike the superstar bowlers like Shaheen and Amir who can't even bowl one side of a wicket most days.

 

[JaDed]

Bat first and bat them out of the game. Score over 170 and **** Canada off for under 100.

They are decent chasers in T20.

 

[Chuggy]

Open with Fakhar and Saim, Babar one down and send Rizwan after him. Well that is our batting anyway!

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes opening

they are the bakri ka balla today

I think you missed the joke brother. Everyone wants these 2 to open but Pakistan will obviously missread the game like they did in the past 2

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Shameless me watching the match again after swearing i wont watch this team again

I'm watching precisely because I gave up on this team after the USA loss. Now it's just for entertainment value, not really invested in the result. If they win great, if they lose it's kinda funny.

Arei bowling kar rahei hain hum

 

[hafizexpress]

As a Pakistani fan, the current circumstances are heartbreaking. But as a Canadian as well, I've been waiting a long time for this match. It's a thriller for me

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shahid Afridi is coming in with the trophy!

Are these signs?

afridi played a blinder in both semi & final to lift the trophy in England . One of the best ever tournaments played by Pakistan .

Now these lot are bottle merchants .

Ireland will likely lose to USA .

Some of these folk are playing their last match for a while … until the next chairman of the in political party .

A Pak loss again & again to Ireland would be the best for the future but you have to support your team on match day

 

[hafizexpress]

No team is scoring more than 140 here any time soon

 

[adzzy786]

Come on Canada!

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Hoping this is the second last time we see Rizwan in Pakistan colours

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fold them for less than 100.

 

[mominsaigol]

@daytrader

I thought you'd be here today bro, your home country of birth and home country of current occupancy are playing.

Whatever the outcome its a win win for you, only drawback its in USA and not Canada, otherwise you'd be able to attend live as well.

 

[t_kaay]

Ramiz Raja on commentary is such a tool.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Amir at 35 is still ten times the bowler is

 

[bones]

What does Shadab have over Babar? Why is Shadab undroppable? He offers only something in the field and many times he just overthrows.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Shadab keeps his place because domicile matters

 

[BouncerGuy]

And Shaheen is smashed for 4 to start.

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

Qudrat Ka Nizam

Come on Pakistan , a new day ,a new chance to fight !

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Abbas would be really effective on these pitches as he bowls at the stumps on a good length unlike the superstar bowlers like Shaheen and Amir who can't even bowl one side of a wicket most days.

As I was saying....

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL.... Shaheen will never learn.
