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

[Kianig89]

Imad is the one getting hit for runs, Haris has picked up 2 wickets.

That is what I said Haris thrives usually against minnows

 

[JaDed]

Johnson cant run quick singles. All or nothing.

Yeah India will be hopefully watching this, I don’t want to lose to Brampton boys

 

[Champ_Pal]

Aaron Johnson showing his power with these flick sixes.

Pointers for Pakistani batters.

You need strong wrists and forearms to do that.

 

[Devadwal]

This is game where Pakistan need to win big to improve the NNR.

Ireland game will be competitive .

 

[Human786]

73/6

 

[chinaman00]

This canada best ireland few days ago

Minnow vs minnow is always unpredictable. Just like Pakistan vs USA

 

[Kianig89]

The last of the real pedigree Naseem Shah

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gone.

 

[followed]

Just get them under 100 now.

 

[JaDed]

This is game where Pakistan need to win big to improve the NNR.

Ireland game will be competitive .

PCT never gives a heck about NRR, they just leave that part to Kudrat.

 

[Omer2002]

in my opinion they have got 70 runs too many for our batters...

 

[Croma]

OK Game over. Well played Johnson. That was fun to watch

 

[RahulBose]

An international world cup 50 for Johnson in front of Pakistan bowling on a minefield. A great innings, take a bow.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Now Canada are done.

Johnson gone.

 

[JaDed]

Argh one man show Kaneda

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball didn't get up at all.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Johnson is showing Pakistan in t20 you need strong powerful big hitting batsmen .

 

[Croma]

Now just wrap this up within 80. and score these runs within 10 overs

 

[Kianig89]

Pitch has demons watch out

 

[neonoir]

Target should be to bowl them out for under 85 now

 

[RidiculousMan]

After Bumrah Naseem has looked the best pacer on this wicket

 

[JilaWatan]

Lessssgoooo. Big wicket. Great setup. Naseem is such a good bowler.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Johnson cant run quick singles. All or nothing.

Yea. knee issues. A reason why they even had run out

 

[Croma]

Johnson is showing Pakistan in t20 you need strong powerful big hitting batsmen .

Like Azam Khan and Ifti

 

[Speedster1]

Naseem u beauty

 

[Kianig89]

Babar is still nervous

 

[JaDed]

Johnson is showing Pakistan in t20 you need strong powerful big hitting batsmen .

It’s very hard to be like Caribbeans , they are genetically gifted with physique in almost every sport.

 

[shariqnoor]

It's why I don't think he would have been a good bowler in every era. His peak coincided with him bowling tampered balls at a very full length.

I don't think he gets conventional bowling

Waqar would've been Haris Rauf 2.0 in this modern day and age. With no reverse swing on offer and two new balls in ODIs, he would've been carted mercilessly. Waqar is seriously overrated. With no video analysis back in the 90s and ample reverse swing on offer, Waqar got away.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch looks dangerous. Uneven bounce. Last ball took off.

 

[batandballbattle]

big wicket
should roll them over for <100 now

 

[JaDed]

After Bumrah Naseem has looked the best pacer on this wicket

I liked Rabada too

 

[TeymurBlake]

Now Canada are done.

Johnson gone.

PSL Contract incoming.

 

[mominsaigol]

Canada need to try to get 110, but it'll be difficult. Fresh pitch is even worse then India game but 100 is the par so slightly > needed

 

[JilaWatan]

2 Pakistani born batting. Lol

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Will we be able to chase this though??????

 

[RidiculousMan]

I liked Rabada too

Hit the seam kind of bowlers are loving this. Makes me wonder Shami deserved a spot in Indian squad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Canada need to try to get 110, but it'll be difficult. Fresh pitch is even worse then India game but 100 is the par so slightly > needed

It looks like the dangerous pitch that India and Ireland played at. They could have played on the same pitch.

 

[followed]

This babar is such a dumbo.
Just kill the game with Pacers.

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan vs Pakistan right now

 

[Asad T]

Aaron Johnson 52 (44)
Rest of the Canadian batters: 13 (40) so far

 

[Shafi]

Waqar would've been Haris Rauf 2.0 in this modern day and age. With no reverse swing on offer and two new balls in ODIs, he would've been carted mercilessly. Waqar is seriously overrated. With no video analysis back in the 90s and ample reverse swing on offer, Waqar got away.

Will be same for Wasim/Waqar/Donald/Mcgrath/Leelee/Walsh/Ambrose/Holding/Marshal....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Oh maaf kar bhai, you've been saying this for the past 2 games as well.

If they win congrats, you repeating the same thing over and over eventually worked. But otherwise wait and watch.

I told major this as well, let it end first

Both losses were close, brother. It wasn't like PAK were smashed

 

[JaDed]

Hit the seam kind of bowlers are loving this. Makes me wonder Shami deserved a spot in Indian squad.

He did but who knew Ny pitches ll be like that

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Just enough to retain some average performers.

Yep that's how we roll and today Rizwan will finally wake up and Babar may play run a ball , what a team.

 

[Human786]

77/6 - 5 to go - can they get 105 ?

 

[Itachi]

Canada need to try to get 110, but it'll be difficult. Fresh pitch is even worse then India game but 100 is the par so slightly > needed

These pitches will surely lose any interest in cricket in US even if there was anything prior..... This isn't t20 to be honest.

 

[jnaveen1980]

77/6 - 5 to go - can they get 105 ?

10 maximum. 5 minimum Hardest phase of the innings

 

[RidiculousMan]

PSL Contract incoming.

I can see Islamabad United going for him. Fits their criteria right.

- Big Power
- Not very eager to take singles
- Focuses on Sixes
- Utilizes the PowerPlay straight away
- Is an overseas opener

 

[mominsaigol]

These pitches will surely lose any interest in cricket in US even if there was anything prior..... This isn't t20 to be honest.

Naw, they fumbled by hosting so many games in NY when dallas and florida shpuld have been the only 2 venues

 

[jnaveen1980]

Full toss is a crime on this pitch

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That seems to be story of PcT in many ICC tournaments .

This is a timid team, only when pressure is gone and nothing to play for they come out of their shell.

 

[followed]

This Usman khan's contribution has been negative for Pakistan.
Terrible fielder as well

 

[mominsaigol]

Both losses were close, brother. It wasn't like PAK were smashed

They were close but I keep telling people to never judge too early. Because theirs a 50% chance you're correct and another 50% that you'll make a fool out of yourself.

Ask @Major who's track record atm is 100%

 

[batandballbattle]

rauf giving gifts to the diaspora apnay

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf has no clarity whatsoever

Doesn't know what he needs to bowl or what's the wicket like

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This Usman khan's contribution has been negative for Pakistan.
Terrible fielder as well

He should have stayed in UAE, no idea how someone can be so dumb.

 

[followed]

Canada will make life difficult for babar and his friends and they don't have Aaron Johnson in their lineup.

 

[Human786]

85/6 - 4 to go

 

[mominsaigol]

As I said, Canada gotta hold nerve and get 110. If they do Pakistan will be in hell, they'll need a Johnson to pull it off

 

[jnaveen1980]

Haris Rauf is made to look good on this pitch. ANy other pitch garbage bowling like this wille penalized like in world cup 2023. He ended up conceding 500 plus runs.

 

[JilaWatan]

Rauf back to being a spray gun

 

[followed]

He should have stayed in UAE, no idea how someone can be so dumb.

He is surely gonna be kicked out from the after this tournament.

 

[AAli98]

Full toss is a crime on this pitch

Pak turning up to the ground is a crime.. should have been chased out of the country if u can’t get 48 of 48 with 8 wickets in hand !!

 

[Human786]

10 maximum. 5 minimum Hardest phase of the innings

what ?

 

[neonoir]

Any total over 100 here for Canada will seriously challenge the Pak batsmen

 

[Human786]

Stream not fast today

washroom calls need 2 be answered too

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afridi is a Father in law now. But he still looks like the groom.

 

[JilaWatan]

He is surely gonna be kicked out from the after this tournament.

And he can't go back to uae. He really destroyed his career

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pak turning up to the ground is a crime.. should have been chased out of the country if u can’t get 48 of 48 with 8 wickets in hand !!

Just remember how much Pakistan needed against Zimbabwe. 43 needed in 38 balls with 7 wickets in hand. They couldn't. This is 10 times tougher pitch against Bumrah.

 

[imran1976]

Just tuned in, Shadab is still in the playing XI.

 

[stani_pak]

Johnsons innings can be a difference if Canada get 100 plus, it might just be game on

 

[followed]

Amir has got so many variations and he is such a skillful bowler.

 

[Human786]

87/7

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Can Canada score 100?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Target should be to bowl them out for under 85 now

Already 87 now. They have let Johnson score too many.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hussain is talking about having brute force here? Who is going to do that for Pakistan? Shadab? Iftikar?

 

[Human786]

87/7

that lady in green T & hat

 

[Croma]

Oh Wow they reached 87

 

[mominsaigol]

Come on Canada boys, just play out the t20, get that 100-105

 

[Champ_Pal]

Oh Wow they reached 87

Another 20 runs and we have match on our hands.
