88/7 - 3 left

 

[JilaWatan]

Amir showing how it's done. Still a class bowler

Thark la ilaaj marz hai..haha

 

[JilaWatan]

If they get to 100 it's a loss for Pakistan

 

[mominsaigol]

Shaheen needs to be ashamed of himself tbh, who tf goes for 6 eco in NY?

 

[deltexas]

You guys are selling the pak batsmen short here. Even if Canada get to 120 - it should be a breeze for Pak. No bumrah in Canada's bowling line up. On the other hand pak can up their NRR if they chase it in a canter. A pak win makes it tougher for USA - but there are no short cuts & USA would have the chance to beat Ireland and even Ind and prove the Pak win was not a fluke. Makes these prelim stages exciting. This WC Has been one of the better league stages in t20wc in a long long time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan bowler to pakistan batsman

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Better captaincy by Babar today. If there's anything to nitpick it would be bringing Amir on earlier. He's the only bowler who has got the length perfectly right on this pitch.

Runs by arshdeep and siraj in the previous match made a lot of difference.

He can never do that job properly. He should have gone for the kill but he was still continuing with imad from one end

 

[Human786]

91/7 - 2 to go

 

[Speedster1]

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

Iftie not even in the team today

Fakhar to get a 40-50

 

[hafizexpress]

Was a waste giving Afridi an over right now. He isn't threatening. It should have been Naseem and Afridi should have bowled the last over if there would have been one. Naseem and Amir would have ended this tail

Chaacha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How many overs will Pakistan need to chase down this in terms of NRR

100 off 10 overs?

 

[JilaWatan]

Still baffled by shadabs selection. If he's in the team as just a batter. They can't replace him with a batter

 

[Dantheone]

Fakhar and Saim should open.

 

[stani_pak]

Canada might even get to 110 plus

 

[RahulBose]

110 is very much a possibility now.

 

[Croma]

what the... they are at 95 now

Iss rizwan ki drameybaazi.
He should make career in acting.
Cricket is not his cup of tea.

Lol that's impossible for this squad. 14 maybe

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He lacks guts and killer instinct as captain. On a pitch like this you could have saved even the last over for Imad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar doesn't want them to care about the NRR

Just wants them to get the runs even if it's off the last ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Aamir hits decent speeds for a 35 year old.

 

[Human786]

96/7 & 1 to go - 105 it will be

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lol that's impossible for this squad. 14 maybe

Send in Saim and Usman and let's see lol

 

[emranabbas]

Excellent bowling by amir still not finished

 

[jnaveen1980]

Waqar doesn't want them to care about the NRR

Just wants them to get the runs even if it's off the last ball

All these things are academic USA wins against Ireland

 

[neonoir]

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

Pak should open with Fakhar and Saim and let Usman come in at 3 play his natural game, and if the inevitable collapse happens then you have Babar and Riz as the safety nets

 

[NeVerMind]

Still baffled by shadabs selection. If he's in the team as just a batter. They can't replace him with a batter

We didn't pick any real middle order batsmen in the squad...we only have Azam and Chacha and they are worse

 

[RahulBose]

Great job Canada, getting to the 19th over

 

[mominsaigol]

Who told ICC to make fresh pitches for NY? Their even worse?

 

[Human786]

6 wt fudge

 

[JilaWatan]

Send in Saim and Usman and let's see lol

I hope they open with zaman and Saim

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6

100 up

 

[JaDed]

Get to 100 atleast to make it a game

 

[stani_pak]

100 up...we have a game on our hand

 

[mominsaigol]

No one can hit sixes besides fakhar and he'll fail today, when fakhar drops catches it means he'll fail cause he's switched off.

No one is strong enough to clear like Johnson cam

 

[Croma]

what a flukey 6

 

[JaDed]

ok respectable total for Kaneda

 

[RahulBose]

110..... Let's gooo

 

[followed]

Useful runs by Canadian tailenders just like Indian tailenders.

 

[Human786]

96/7 & 1 to go - 105 it will be

105 it is

 

[Shafi]

Another 7 more runs and Canada should win this game

 

[Croma]

cant believe they crossed 100 against this bowling attack

 

[Human786]

target 107

 

[Deewana Mastana]

106-7

 

[followed]

106 a decent total in the end by canada

 

[JaDed]

Decent last over for canada

 

[stani_pak]

This will be a tricky chase....Pakistan should chase this....key word should

 

[jnaveen1980]

106 in 20 overs 7 runs less than what SA posted

 

[Croma]

107 to win.

ANd as someone said. Let Saim and Fakhar open and get these runs quickly.

 

[Shafi]

Canada 60 Pakistan 40.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should be chased in 15 overs .

 

[JaDed]

This will be a tricky chase....Pakistan should chase this....key word should

They should be sent back to Domestics for 6 months if they can’t

 

[TeymurBlake]

13 extras.

Goodness me.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is Pakistan's NRR so bad that they have to go after NRR here?

 

[RahulBose]

Pakistan lost the chance of improving their NRR. It would just be a win... If that

 

[Omer2002]

Must say great day for shadab didnt see him bat nor in field

 

[t_kaay]

Let's hope the management realise that NRR will come into it. Need to go hard at this total and chase in 15 overs

 

[adzzy786]

Waqar made no sense after speaking for 10
Minutes

 

[t_kaay]

Is Pakistan's NRR so bad that they have to go after NRR here?

Could make a difference later so yes, I would say chase in 15 overs

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Is Pakistan's NRR so bad that they have to go after NRR here?

NRR will surely come to play as US already has 4 points.

 

[Shafi]

100 up...we have a game on our hand

What's the point. We are already out. Just need to loose remaining matches so PCB will get rid of all these useless players

 

[t_kaay]

Waqar made no sense after speaking for 10
Minutes

He's like Aamer Sohail

 

[mominsaigol]

Should be chased in 15 overs .

Maaf karo, Maaf karo, Maaf karo.

This pitch is the worst one yet, as theirs no shot of hitting a six here unless you're Johnson or if you fluke it.

Pakistani bachei don't have takat besides navy man fakhar who'll perish today due to no confidence and being switched off

 

[RahulBose]

Shaheen is really unimpressive. He just very average now.

 

[emranabbas]

Real test for rizbar

Key is to chase majority of the runs in the powerplay.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Aamir very impressive yet again. Can't judge him just based on that Super Over.

 

[mominsaigol]

107 to win.

ANd as someone said. Let Saim and Fakhar open and get these runs quickly.

Logically they shpuld as its a 107 of 90 not 120 on this pitch.

Magar nahi zidi bachei, opening is rizwan's baap ki jaidaat.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan is lucky they are playing on NYC wicket. Otherwise on a flatter pitch Aaron Johnson would've eaten them alive

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Innings Break

Canada 106/7

Target for Pakistan 107

 

[Asad T]

Aaron Johnson 52 (44)
Rest of the Canadian batters: 41 (76)

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

this is the most unprofessional outfit that Pakistan has ever fielded at international level. we gave away 30 runs extra due to lack of proactiveness and laziness in field. Rizwan will do all sorts of acting but he could not hear bat crashing into ball.. the same batsman hit six in final over. same with johnson. fakhar drop his catch he hit six in next over. so 12 right there and then 10 wides in total.. absolute trash

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan is lucky they are playing on NYC wicket. Otherwise on a flatter pitch Aaron Johnson would've eaten them alive

This johnson lad is a real find for Canada literally this dude is the next Chris gayle. Bro should play for WI if they offer.

 

[KingKhanWC]

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

Nah Pakistan has huge guys & some very strong like afridi was . They are selecting a 50 over type batting line up in t20s . You should be able to clear the rope even with a mis hit in this format

 

[mominsaigol]

Spin will be key here. Babar is a bafoon for never including abrar.

Bhai ab kya zid if you no longer have the confidence to bowl shadab?

Imad who can't even spin and is known for darters was leg spinning here? Lol.

Canada spinners will be so gun here

 

[Human786]

Aaron Johnson 52 (44)
Rest of the Canadian batters: 41 (76)

proper star ... should be a comfortable chase imo .
