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

[Asif321]

Playing 5 openers was always a disaster

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pakistan will win bhai.. target is too small and Babar fans will hail this innings for years!

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

 

[sweep_shot]

50 are needed from 60 balls. 5 wickets in hand.

If Babar and Imad get out now, game on.

 

[cricketcricket79]

Imagine Pakistan finishing bottom of the group below USA and Ireland. How the mighty have fallen.

Loving this WC. Pakistan, NZ, SL test playing nations which could not gen qualify for super 8s. Scotland came mighty close to dumping out England too.

 

[Thephenom]

If I’m not mistaken that was another match where we lost a wicket after a short break

 

[Croma]

After watching this, I feel like SKy and Dube played Godly innings against USA.

 

[Rana]

Too many no.7, no.8 batsman. Usman is probably no.9 batsman.

I know bro.

This is Pakistan cricket’s own failure. This wasn’t the case with Sarfaraz

He was blessed to have proper middle order batsmen and a good number 3 in Babar

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I hope Pak wins tonight else Babar would have to really try hard to save Shadab's career. He single-handedly ruined 3 games for Pakistan.

 

[TheSultan]

This is hilarious!

I don’t even need to wish for the opposition to beat them. It’s naturally just all too easy

 

[RidiculousMan]

Even I’m starting to believe these guys are useless without Babar and Rizwan

I think Babar is just good enough to stay and play against big teams. Even in T20Is. But Rizwan shouldn't be there but he is because the rest of the guys are such junk.

With Fakhar you know his game. He only bats one way and he will deliver 3 times out of 10. You gotta have one batter like him. Like Australia plays Maxwell. but you need stable consistent performers around him.

The rest of the batters are not of quality.

 

[rhony]

Bobby's got this. After all.this reset talk from the board, Shaheen proved today why he's a must in this team. Bobby's turn to prove the same now

 

[NeVerMind]

Look on the bright side...you won't die wondering as to what would have happened if we had fluked our way to the Super 8s...if this so how we play in a dead rubber, imagine how we would have crumbled later on...

 

[RidiculousMan]

I know bro.

Definitely. He had luxury of Hafeez, Malik and Asif Ali (When he was decent).

 

[Rana]

Hafeez and Malik might actually be the most CRUCIAL Pakistsn T20 players in history

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Standard of PSL is very low when players like Usman K can excel.

 

[emranabbas]

what on cricket is going on here i only went away for 5 mins

 

[imran1976]

Pakistan's is a social media team --

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bobby's got this. After all.this reset talk from the board, Shaheen proved today why he's a must in this team. Bobby's turn to prove the same now

I haven’t seen anyone ruin himself as much as I have seen Shadab.

Unbelievable downfall.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Even I’m starting to believe these guys are useless without Babar and Rizwan

I think only person whose place is guaranteed is Babar, if we find a better keeper we can replace Riz as he is not the keeper-batsman anymore but instead to replace Rizwan we found Azam, total nepotism in the country as brought us to this situation, be it cricket or anything esle

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bobby's got this. After all.this reset talk from the board, Shaheen proved today why he's a must in this team. Bobby's turn to prove the same now

Fans just do kneejerk reaction. Shaheen and Babar are pillars of Pakistan Cricket. Without them Pakistan Cricket will just be dead. They will be scrapping among the likes of Argentina, Italy and Kenya.

 

[Croma]

10 : 57-5

Never thought it would come to this.

AGainst India I expected Riz Bar to deliver... failed.

Riz delivered against Canada...

Now Bar has to deliver against Ireland. HAS TO!

 

[sweep_shot]

This should've been a boring and one-sided game. Pakistani collapse is turning it into a thriller.

Lol mein taan 10 minutes leyi bahar gya
Pakistani team te lammi pe gayi.
Pathetic bunch of losers.

 

[Kroll]

Which clown thought that Shady's a middle order batsman and that too a 5?

 

[Croma]

Pakistan need 49 runs in 57 balls.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Beautiful shot

 

[RidiculousMan]

Should have played Azam Khan today. He was smacking these medium pacers easily in the Ireland tour.

 

[Rana]

Legendary Pakistan

I know bro.

Because of the short nature of the game Pakistan probably feels batsmen don't have to bat more than 2 overs to be good. That is a recipe for disaster. You need 3 or 4 btasmen who can bat through if needed with different accelration skills

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Which clown thought that Shady's a middle order batsman and that too a 5?

Azhar

 

[Kroll]

Imad gone!

 

[rhony]

I haven’t seen anyone ruin himself as much as I have seen Shadab.

Unbelievable downfall.

Shadab ia going through the same thing Irfan Pathan went through. Good young bowlers with a bit of batting talent pushed too soon to be all rounders to the point where their bowling is ruined.

 

[RidiculousMan]

So annoying I have to mute the game because Harsha is speaking.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Lmao this was the hero of Pakistan ranting on TV for years.

 

[Croma]

Dont tell me Imran Nazir, Imam Ul Haq and SHahzad, all3 will return!

 

[Rana]

What a set up

Imad bruv not expecting this taati batting from you

 

[jnaveen1980]

62 for 6 in 11 overs !! wow. Can Babar go hammer and tongs and finish the game?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Imad gone!

He looks injured. Doesn't look comfortable in his movement.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Imad departs.

62/6.

 

[cricketcricket79]

What a catch wow.

 

[Croma]

So annoying I have to mute the game because Harsha is speaking.

The batting is entertaining?

BAbar last man standing

 

[RidiculousMan]

62 for 6 in 11 overs !! wow. Can Babar go hammer and tongs and finish the game?

Alone. No. Babar cannot win matches single handedly. He needs support.

 

[ElRaja]

hilarious, once you give up on the team, the comic value from watching them screw up is quite worth it

 

[Kroll]

He looks injured. Doesn't look comfortable in his movement.

He's always been a bit brittle, no surprises there.

 

[Thephenom]

Bye Imad, make sure your no talented backside doesn’t hit the door on your way out!

 

[MHN1293]

The perfect end to this wc. Perfectly summaries our performance

Lol they are even chasing 106 against Ireland.hahah

 

[cricketcricket79]

Babar or bust now.

 

[OldWarHorse]

I mean self destruction is Pakistan's forte but even this is taking it too far

 

[amvbfm]

That’s the end of Shadab’s Pakistan career, or it should be

We aren’t fortunate enough. Will be back after the next PSL

 

[Rana]

Just wait for the cr@p leggie

He has to bowl

 

[Croma]

Abbar Afridi can bat?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Alone. No. Babar cannot win matches single handedly. He needs support.

With no Naseem and flaky Shaheen he has no choice but to take control of the chase

 

[JilaWatan]

We may actually lose this. This is sad

 

[TheSultan]

Babar or bust now.

Likelihood - bust

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think if Babar wins us this game he will save his captaincy.

Good chance for him to say to chairman everyone else is rubbish I'm the only one who can win us games.

And I think chairman will buy it based on the performance of the team.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Wasim Akram: Last recognized batsmen Imad wasim departs.

Last recognized batter was Fakhar. Tail started with Usman K.

He is going nowhere.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

A very low point in our cricket. This is bad as 2003.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That should be it for Imad, he was never the allrounder we needed, just one good game in 20 matches, the mantra of whole team, shabby/Imad go to a tv show together and whine.

 

[RyanRyan10]

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

Get this Zimbabar out as well.
Come on Ireland..

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Bye Imad, make sure your no talented backside doesn’t hit the door on your way out!

He is going to be back on TV mouthing off like before pretending he didn't just flop this world cup

 

[TheSultan]

Babar is so untalented - he can’t find any gaps

 

[rhony]

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

 

[RidiculousMan]

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

For batting yes. But for his captaincy no. He is a good batter but not a good captain.

Yeah he should be hailed as the king...

Shaheen is dud against spin. So maybe that's why.

 

[sweep_shot]

If Babar gets out now, Ireland would be favorites.

 

[Croma]

Youtubers are going to have a field Day

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

The seamer overs are getting exhausted.

No he can't. He is hiding.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Standard of PSL is very low when players like Usman K can excel.

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.
