Pakistan (111/7) end their T20 World Cup campaign with a narrow 3-wicket victory over Ireland (106/9)

[RidiculousMan]

Someone quote me when Harsha goes off the comm box.

 

[Croma]

Pakistan need 43 runs in 49 balls.

Atleast it isnt run a ball yet.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

If Babar wins this match for Pakistan then his critics must apologize to him.

Babar doesn't get hate for his game, yes he is tad bit slow but the problem is, he has full control on team selection and he choose this bunch. Babar the batsman has a guaranteed spot in this team, Babar the captain not no but hell no

 

[Rana]

Dockrell needs to man up and bowl here

He needs to back himself. He’s probably still a better bowler than Shadab

 

[AAli98]

How **** is the Canadian & Indian bowling they gave these batsman a sniff of victory

 

[JilaWatan]

Not sure how good Abbas is in batting but they should have sent Shaheen. He can hang around and can also tonk a couple if needed. He also.has experience

They also have the tendency to play rash shots

 

[Suleiman]

COME ON IRELAND!!

bury this corpse known as Pakistan cricket. It is in the the ground, just shovel on the last few piles of dirt.

 

[sweep_shot]

42 are needed from 48 balls. 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

or blame Amir/Imad selection if we lose which is looking more likely atm

I perfectly believe picking Amir and Imad out of retirement was an utterly birdbrain thing that only happens in Pakistan.
Imran set a terrible example in 1992, and Pakistanis keep hoping for repeat for that miracle for decades

 

[RidiculousMan]

Dockrell needs to man up and bowl here

He needs to back himself. He’s probably still a better bowler than Shadab

I would actually continue with pacers. Unless and until Shaheen comes in. Then I bring spin to take his wicket quickly.

 

[Ahmed216]

Imad the finisher
Some people will never learn

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There should be a special factor for Pakistan in the Win/Loss predictor, still showing Pakistan as 82%, which universe are they at 82%

 

[Kianig89]

And some people thought this team deserved a next round berth

 

[Croma]

Abbas has an opportunity to be a hero

 

[Rana]

Seems like the commentators are clueless too

Babar is poor against left arm spin

You can back Dockrell here

 

[Kianig89]

Amir and Imad should be fined their tourney fees for screwing up this WC

 

[Croma]

There should be a special factor for Pakistan in the Win/Loss predictor, still showing Pakistan as 82%, which universe are they at 82%

That is the power of Babar

 

[ssuhaide]

This team is so mentally weak. Playing with fear and not much intelligence. The big 3 and the rest of the main cricket nations should not invite Pakistan for tours and should also send their U19 side to face our full line up. Time to start playing Oman and PNG who have similar batting talent

 

[Kianig89]

Gary Kirtsen might leave by mutual consent this is taking a toll on him

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Both Saim Ayub and Usman Khan averaging 14 after playing handful of matches..
Are they the world ever batters played for a test playing nation??

 

[oatmeal]

Even winning the match from this position makes no difference.

Only a statement win would have provided some solace to fans. A scraped through win is as good as defeat

 

[RidiculousMan]

Gary Kirtsen might leave by mutual consent this is taking a toll on him

Chicken out in a month?

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

India haven't won T20 WC either despite IPL. Let's not mix international cricket with leagues. It's different environment, different pressure and different motivations for players to excel.

But India has not been so pathetic at T20Is, Pakistan's W/L ratio and ranking is down in dumps despite playing minnows and B and C teams of top teams.

 

[Dantheone]

Pathetic just keeps getting even more pathetic!

 

[Rana]

Rubbish bowling by Adair

Not aiming for Abbas’s pads

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan should arrange a crash tour of Concacaf region to regain their mojo

 

[Croma]

This is the way. Take singles and twos and win. Dont go for glory shots

 

[RidiculousMan]

Even winning the match from this position makes no difference.

Only a statement win would have provided some solace to fans. A scraped through win is as good as defeat

Losing the match will make Mr. Chairman angry. Winning will make his mood less angrier. That's the difference. Today's game result will determine how angry the surgeon comes in the operation room.

 

[Ahmed216]

Abbas used to be a decent batsman at u19 level

 

[oatmeal]

Youtubers are going to have a field Day

Balconey youtubers, bedroom youtubers... its gona be tabaahi on youtube.

If Pakistan loses, Pakistan YouTube channels make a killing from the millions of Indians looking to celebrate the defeat and enjoy the harsh criticism.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This m atch has no consequence, pressure. So Babar should be able to finish it with ease as they exhausted all their fast bowlers

 

[sweep_shot]

Ireland have to bowl 3 overs of spin or part-timers. Pakistan should target those 3 overs.

 

[Kianig89]

Naseem Shah should pad up

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Amir and Imad should be fined their tourney fees for screwing up this WC

Give it a rest man, if only two people can win and loose the game then why play 11. Everyone is fully responsible for this debacle.

 

[followed]

Get this Zimbabar out. Make it even more interesting Ireland..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is the over where RR becomes more than a ball

 

[PakFan2010]

How are Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique not in this team?

 

[emranabbas]

Give it a rest man, if only two people can win and loose the game then why play 11. Everyone is fully responsible for this debacle.

no no no its only imad and wasim

 

[Kianig89]

Naseem Shah not playing today thankfully he is saved from today's humiliation

 

[rhony]

Run thr ball to the third man lad

 

[Local.Dada]

India haven't won T20 WC either despite IPL. Let's not mix international cricket with leagues. It's different environment, different pressure and different motivations for players to excel.

That’s usually a very one-dimensional argument. By the same logic Aus, Eng, WI star players play the IPL and they won WT20 and WC too. Nzl players and SL players as well. Afghan players have become world beaters and their entire team more or less plays the IPL. This is called clutching at straws. Yes Indian team has chokers but they are still one of the best in the world in their respective areas.

 

[AMSS]

I did feel Pakistan's last act would be the best in this WT20!

 

[Kianig89]

Some laundry cleaning required why not leave some of them at Mexico Border

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pak back on track.

 

[Asif321]

How are Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique not in this team?

They can’t do anything

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Ireland are 15 runs short

 

[emranabbas]

will babar win it for pakistan like how imad should have won it for pakistan the other day vs india?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar's wicket can change things very quickly.

 

[Kianig89]

Fakhar Zaman Usman Khan Shadab Khan Iftikhar Ahmed Saim Ayub Azam Khan Haris Rauf Imad Wasim M.Amir

9 out of 15 are dirt garbage

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

How are Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique not in this team?

They are TTFs. We have to start fresh.

 

[RidiculousMan]

They are TTFs. We have to start fresh.

Abdullah is young.

 

[Suleiman]

Quick, someone start cooking biryani near the ground. The smell will distract Babar and we can finally see Ireland take down this pathetic team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan sweating even chasing this total

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

It will be fun to Watch Wasay Habib show after Pakistan's loss..
I'm ready with my porcorns

 

[RyanRyan10]

I did feel Pakistan's last act would be the best in this WT20!

Babar is showing his class

 

[Kianig89]

Out IN
FAKHAR AbShafiq
Iftikhar Ahmed Jamal
Shadab WasimJr.
Imad Salman Agha
Amir M.Ali
AzamKhan M.Haris

 

[Local.Dada]

Qudrat ka Nizam finally kickin in for Pakistan, Little looks a little injured

 

[sweep_shot]

Less than 30 are needed. Pakistan should win now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 26 runs in 30 balls.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shoaib Malik should've played in this WT20. He is far better of a middle order batter than all that were selected in this squad.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine Pakistan batting first on this wicket with moisture.

 

[produke]

Bowlers making it very easy...

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

If Babar can bat until the end and guide us to victory then I think he would feel hard done by if he was to be sacked from the captaincy

 

[Kianig89]

What will be the way forward for this team , the dearth of talent is apparent

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan looking nervous

 

[Justcrazy]

A wicket here will spice up the game

 

[emranabbas]

Fakhar Zaman Usman Khan Shadab Khan Iftikhar Ahmed Saim Ayub Azam Khan Haris Rauf Imad Wasim M.Amir

9 out of 15 are dirt garbage

what about rizwan? should have put ireland under pressure from ball 1 in the powerplay

until be we have fans supporting rubbish like rizwan there is no hope for change in Pakistan

 

[Ahmed216]

Shoaib Malik should've played in this WT20. He is far better of a middle order batter than all that were selected in this squad.

Javed miandad?

 

[RidiculousMan]

If Babar can bat until the end and guide us to victory then I think he would feel hard done by if he was to be sacked from the captaincy

It will actually prove more that Babar the batter is good but Babar the captain is not. Because Babar the captain failed to build a team that could play and win matches without Babar the batter.

 

[Kianig89]

This is totally unacceptable

 

[RidiculousMan]

Javed miandad?

If he is available. Yes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan looking nervous

I tis not 28 required in 8 balls. 24 required in 28 balls

 

[rhony]

Six!! That should settle the nerves

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXXX , just what was required , solid strike

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Shoaib Malik should've played in this WT20. He is far better of a middle order batter than all that were selected in this squad.

Bring back zaheer Abbas and javed miandad too…

 

[cricketmania22]

Imagine Pakistan batting first on this wicket with moisture.

On these kinds of pitches sometimes moistures help the batting team. On an uneven pitch moistures makes it more even.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan want to bat 20 overs they don't wanna leave States

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

That should take the pressure off.

 

[jnaveen1980]

On these kinds of pitches sometimes moistures help the batting team. On an uneven pitch moistures makes it more even.

Ireland has swing bowlers. would have gotten the best out of it.

 

[Justcrazy]

ODDS on Ireland winning in betting is 1 : 19
