Pakistan (128/5) qualify for the Semi-Final stage with a 5-wicket win over Bangladesh (128/5)

[Dr_Bassim]

If Pakistan cant score 128 in a QF against BD, they should NEVER play cricket again.

We are going to thrash these runs in 10 overs.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pak will win by 16ov

 

[boomboom6]

Babar looking clueless too ... just poor batting from both of them entire WC so far

 

[Suleiman]

Surely we don’t need the full 20 overs to chase this…. Right?

 

[sweep_shot]

Why isn't Litton keeping?

No idea.

There are 2 keepers.

Nurul shouldn't be in the team let alone keep.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar needs to get his mojo back.

 

[Ozeirk]

do these guys know how to play shots or just defend and miss

The approach is ok with the type of totals being chased

 

[mrtaim3]

Even if we somehow Make it to semis with all the luck we aren't winning anything with this sorry and selfish opening partnership. They whole world can see this is partnership is counter productive for Pak. At this point don't know which is more rigid and counter productive our Current establishment and their support for thugs or this partnership and stubborness of this team management not to change it.

There is stubbornness in every department of Pakistan right now. Not just cricket.

These two just kill the tempo because both of them are in same category

 

[Sherazkhalid]

the haters have been exposed. the fans and ex players. The way they hated this team when it was down

I bet Wahab and Amir would be the most depressed people.

They kept bringing up there world 2019 where they were 5th team and say it performed better than this team in this world cup

We don't hate this team, we hate the mindlessness of this team. We got a chance after days of agony and these two morons are back at it. It should be Shan/Harris to open, Baber one down and Riz in middle.

 

[Usman Chadda]

If Pakistan cant score 128 in a QF against BD, they should NEVER play cricket again.

We are going to thrash these runs in 10 overs.

Kyun jazbaati ho rahe ho doctor, hosla rakho

 

[Inswing]

Well played babar. Just dont give wickets to taskin

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Surely we don’t need the full 20 overs to chase this…. Right?

We need full 20 overs for their 50s.

 

[msb314]

444

 

[rhony]

Taskin is bowling well but Pak needs to take the spinner on. PP is where you can score runs on this pitch. Fizz with his cutters can tie down later

 

[boomboom6]

Finally a proper shot from Babar ... too good to be batting like a tailender

 

[sweep_shot]

113 runs are needed from 104 balls.

Pakistan are being cautious.

 

[Shafi]

Babar plays T20 as test. Such a limited and selfish batsman.

 

[OmaIR1]

If we lose from here then these two clowns at the top are to blame. Tuk, tuk, tuk in T20s, then some times a random boundary.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Well Babar already hit 1 four on the onside , may be its time for him gift his wicket...

 

[hamzie]

113 runs are needed from 104 balls.

Pakistan are being cautious.

i dont think theyre being cautious they just cant get any shots

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I mean they are going to do tuk tuk until the RRR is 10 and then they will get out.

 

[Rana]

Pak are going to win this World Cup and we will suffer this rubbish for 10 more years!

 

[boomboom6]

15 in 3, bad start yet again ... Zim game all over again

 

[msb314]

Will repeat again just support the team tonight - no agendas

 

[Snowflake]

Please keep a count of aerial shots played by these two in PP

 

[SpiritOf1903]

TUK TUK TUK.

Rickshaws in a supercharged world

Oh hello!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

If BD lose this, they may have to play qualifier at next World T20.

Netherlands have better NRR than BD.

Yep,i was thinking the same as well.

 

[Suleiman]

i dont think theyre being cautious they just cant get any shots

They’re mounting pressure on themselves needlessly. They think this is a good strategy but it’s not. Dot balls are Never a good idea.

 

[daytrader]

Pak are going to win this World Cup and we will suffer this rubbish for 10 more years!

It's not rubbish if we're winning

 

[Justcrazy]

Shakib into attack now.

 

[chinaman00]

pakistan will end up putting itself under big pressure with this tuk tuk approach.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Nurul lol at dropping a simple regulation keeper's catch... may be he saw some videos of Kamran Akmal keeping last night..

 

[mrtaim3]

Hating this tuk tuk. They really need to define the role of these two. We can't have two accumulators at the top. Rizwan used to play some aggressive shots before. Now he is just like Babar. Dot dot dot

 

[Darkrai]

Tuk tuk masters, let's go! take to 19.5 over!

 

[NeVerMind]

Wonderful back to back sweeps from Rizwan for 2 boundaries

 

[world cup captain]

Pak are going to win this World Cup and we will suffer this rubbish for 10 more years!

If winning the cup is suffering, then let me suffer my entire life.

 

[daytrader]

Back to back 4's Riz! Making Bangladesh pay for the drop

 

[Justcrazy]

I mean they are going to do tuk tuk until the RRR is 10 and then they will get out.

Pakistan need 103 runs in 97 balls.


Run a ball will do the trick.

 

[msb314]

4

 

[alone1213]

Saqib himself said that they are not here to win the world cup

 

[boomboom6]

Rizwan finally showing life b2b 4s

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally he heard us. All praise the Lord.

 

[Shafi]

Babar just don't have it to play dynamic innings. He can only perform against 2nd/3rd class bowlers. Why he doesn't get some lessons from Hayden. Rizwan has better gear than him.

 

[msb314]

Just keep it steady Rizbar

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is more like it, 11 runs in an over. Feels like a T20 game

 

[alone1213]

Atleast show some intent man.

 

[m.shah]

Good over for Pak

 

[Snowflake]

Pakistan need 103 runs in 97 balls.


Run a ball will do the trick.

But so will 7rpo and not taking it till the last over for a nervy and risky win

 

[Mas-LFC]

Shakib should retire from T20i after this. Let this useless bunch sort themselves out in this format. Shakibs important for next ODI world cup.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 26/0 (4 overs).

Cruising.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can fiz do the wiz to bring BD back in biz?

 

[alone1213]

They should get atleast 20 runs in these two overs

 

[hamzie]

will rizwan ever learn to play offside shots

 

[MSaad1237]

Pak are going to win this World Cup and we will suffer this rubbish for 10 more years!

Lol bhai calm down..

 

[msb314]

Can fiz do the wiz to bring BD back in biz?

Keep your negativity to yourself

 

[Mas-LFC]

In a way I don’t mind Pakistan winning because at least We won’t have to watch BD humiliating themselves in the semis

 

[daytrader]

Hating this tuk tuk. They really need to define the role of these two. We can't have two accumulators at the top. Rizwan used to play some aggressive shots before. Now he is just like Babar. Dot dot dot

Roles are clear, both to play out the first 2 overs cautiously and then their natural game. If both are there after the PP, the one striking better that match, becomes the aggressor. It's true though Rizwan has been more cautious since Babar lost form.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

They just need to go for it man. 128 to win. No point tuk tuking and putting pressure on the rest of the team. I hope they have learnt from their mistakes in the zimbabwe Chase

 

[Asif321]

Riz looks so poor with pace

 

[sweep_shot]

I think we may see Pakistan vs England in the final.

England are favorites against India. Pakistan are favorites against New Zealand.

 

[msb314]

If winning the cup is suffering, then let me suffer my entire life.

Ameen!

 

[msb314]

Good running

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistans fielding and Body language will need to be point in the Semi Final against New Zealand.

 

[rhony]

I think we may see Pakistan vs England in the final.

England are favorites against India. Pakistan are favorites against New Zealand.

Most probably. But if the pitch is a bit slower like this, Ind will have a chance over Eng. That SF is in Adelaide. Ind's best chance is in avoiding NZ

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Which team in this tournament has hit 55 in first 6 overs consistently?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

95 in 15 overs. Can we make it 40 in 6 overs?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 95 runs in 90 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

If Zimbabwe beat India, BD finish last.

 

[7sins]

good going hopefully both rizwan and babar and can get into some kind of form

 

[Blackbradman]

Nurul's WC:
-5 runs penalty
-No ball against zimbabwe
-dolly dropped
-useless with bat

 

[Shafi]

Babar's tuktuk may cost us this game!!!

 

[emranabbas]

Bangladesh need a wicket asap or they definitely have won

 

[world cup captain]

Playing semi at Sydney is good for us. Had a very good game against SA.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar still looking clueless against spin... At least Riz bringing out the sweeps

 

[Usergame]

Which team in this tournament has hit 55 in first 6 overs consistently?

None. Most of the posters here dont understand cricket , they think they are watching baseball. 150 + = winning score. Only need 40 in first 6 max. If no wickets down 30-35 is ok.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Baber has no clue, I have no idea what has happened to him?

 

[m.shah]

Babar is so out of touch

 

[Inswing]

Babar is seriously so pathetic.

 

[hamzie]

babar is so trash
he should give his spot away

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar is terribly out if form.Its like two rizwans are batting.
