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

[RidiculousMan]

Dead rubber and still no chance given to player who hasn't played single match. How insensitive.
You never know, it could be only and last opportunity for someone.

I think they are afraid of losing.

 

[emranabbas]

Am sure everybody is feeling very low, this game feels a lot like when Pakistan faced Zimbabwe in the 2007 WC when they were already out, all hope was lost but Imran Nazir just went out on his shield, all guns blazing, made something like 150 and he was instrumental in Pakistan’s recovery to the finals of the World T20 that same year.

Who will be Pakistan’s Imran Nazir today and give them something to cheer ? Rizwan is a higher averaging batter in a like for like position, so I guess there will be plenty of smiles at the end of today due to his very forward batting…..

Imran nazir was a different player we don't have 1 single player in the same class as imran nazir

We might see a 95 ball 100 in a losing cause by rizwan that's the close its going to get to

It’s not insensitivity that’s the problem it’s the same old bad decisions and jobs for your mates

Why Babar has so much hate against Abrar? He told that Abrar is his secret weapon but not get selected for 2 World Cups.

It's a secret. Get it!

Toss Update:

Pakistan win the toss and elect to bowl first

Mohammad Abbas Afridi replace Naseem Shah

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a shame his ground didn't get any game. Generally vibe is good on this ground.

 

[shaz619]

The Ireland Anthem is

 

[RidiculousMan]

Is rain predicted in today's match?

more than hate, he is trying to safe his friend shadab khan, he kept playing him from asia cup onwards hoping he would come good with his bowling, but it never ended up happening, worst is now he does not even bowl shadab, yet he still gets selected

Hopefully after this world cup, their is some much needed revamp, and deserving guys like abrar ahmed can get a chance

 

[Thephenom]

I really hope Kirsten is allowed to really dig deep into Pakistan cricket and bring about real change, rather then be another patsy for the PCB

 

[followed]

Two evenly matched teams but Ireland has better openers.

 

[Croma]

Today Pakistan will play the best it has all world cup.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Imad was feeling the National anthem. I think he was saying goodbye

Chacha da time khatam hunn.
Pathetic useless chacha.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nooo... Why Harsha is commentating?

 

[Croma]

Operners come out. Pakistan is ready. Finally I will see a ball being bowled at Laudehill

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have to see how the pitch will be. Typical pitch or different.

 

[emranabbas]

Why no abrar in the playing It's dead rubber

 

[RidiculousMan]

I maybe hoped Pakistan would opt to bat first but then I remembered Babar is captain.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why no abrar in the playing It's dead rubber

Pakistan is not confident of its batting line up. So they load the side with players who can bat a bit regardless of how good they are in their main discipline.

 

[Croma]

Nooo... Why Harsha is commentating?

He sat idle during the India game, so broadcasters thought why let him get free money, let him work a bit

 

[followed]

Shaheen is ally hype no substance.
He should be kicked out as well
Only 2 wickets in this World t20

 

[Human786]

big consolation win for PAK loading

 

[Croma]

SHaheen looking for wing with his overpitched deliveries. Hope to a wicket first over

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Croma]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowled!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seam movement.

Lol celebrating like they won the World Cup.

 

[Thephenom]

Looking at the middle order makes me shudder, one of the worst in any full member side in the world

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan may not bat long enough here Instead of enjoying batting here why did they choose to bowl first.

 

[Croma]

Very energetic celebration from Shaheen. He is pumped!

 

[t_kaay]

Nope, this is the lowest point. Pathetic team selection, a very afraid and timid captain and a squad acting like tourists.

It will take years to recover from this mess.

I wouldn't agree that it's the "lowest point".....yes it's extremely disappointing and very sad, but the lowest point imo was waking up on the morning of the London test to find your team had been caught fixing games.

 

[Rana]

Babar won 3 out of 4 tosses this World Cup

He won 2 out of 3 in Ireland


Very lucky captain with tosses

 

[Thephenom]

Now he turns up, great

 

[RidiculousMan]

'Harne wala mukka apne mu pe maar lena chahiye'. I hope this was an anger celebration and he learns from this tournament.

 

[Croma]

Ireland open their account with a chinese cut.

 

[Devadwal]

Very energetic celebration from Shaheen. He is pumped!

Dead rubber yet he is giving 100%

 

[Theo_14]

Embarrassing celebration by Afridi in a dead rubber match. Shows how far we have fallen in terms of mentality. Pathetic.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Moisture is there. It will help Pakistan for a few overs until the ball gets old.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen with 2 wickets in 3 balls in the first over

 

[Croma]

2 down!

SHaheen on Fiyah!

 

[Human786]

[jnaveen1980]

[Devadwal]

Another wicket for Shaheen

 

[shortbread]

Afridi woke up!

Lol Pakistan pretty much damned today. If they lose they will get grief. If they hammer Ireland, they will still get grief for turning up late........it's always "what if" with us.......

 

[James]

What’s happening in Irish cricket?

They’ve been one of the worst teams in this tournament by quite a distance.

Never recovered from that opening capitulation against India. It is like it’s stuck in their heads.

 

[adi_62941]

what a loser this shaheen is.

 

[Croma]

I would really like to see something like a 50 all out today.

This is so boring

Pakistan should have batted first!

Stirling looks retired.

Amazing what you can do when there’s no pressure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ireland is batting like Uganda.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That came back in and gone for 4

 

[t_kaay]

Would have been the same scoreline.......

 

[Dantheone]

This performance should in no way redeem them.

Ireland in a hurry to get to party in Miami

At least there is some drama this way
