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

[zaidihusain]

I am sure Pak will win this but these 2 must accelerate now. This approach will put coming batsman under added pressure and then they will give wickets on loose shots. What Bab-Riz do in first 6 overs is mostly required from 6-12 overs.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Babar frustrated now. Extremely selfish innings so far.

 

[Rana]

Who picks these types of bowlers?!?

 

[IAJ]

Shabash Babar, at least trying now

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

These guys running between the wkts has been shocking

 

[Mainul]

Please be a miracle. Please my lord. I want to see 50/4 . A hatrick....

 

[Shafi]

If this 2 survive another 6-7 overs RR will be around 12 and cost us this game.

 

[pratiktc]

Atleast they are swinging bat now

 

[Energy]

Never seen Babar get dominated like this. Poor patch yes but cant get bat on ball? Legit zaleel ballay baazi on show.

You've got to be better than this man. You've got the support of the nation.

 

[rhony]

Babar is unable to time the ball. Time for brute force and there's the intent

 

[Ozeirk]

How is this guy bowling so fast?

 

[TheSultan]

That dropped catch might have been a blessing in disguise for Bangladesh as these two continue to suck the life out of this chase.

Match winning for bangladesh

 

[JibranAnsari]

If they send in shan next we are royalled screwed

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I really wish our batsmen had the mentality England's batsmen do

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Somehow they managed 6 runs, that is a relief.

 

[IAJ]

BD bowlers bowling quicker than Indians. Ebadot 146kph

 

[m.shah]

What a trash partnership this has been.

 

[arif_2021]

this is not an easy pitch for a new batsman

HORRIBLE BATTING BY BABAR

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Please be a miracle. Please my lord. I want to see 50/4 . A hatrick....

Why?
Your captain said, "We are not here to win".

Don't you support your captain?

 

[Usergame]

Excellent batting by the openers, shutting Bangladesh out of this match.

 

[rhony]

If they send in shan next we are royalled screwed

Ifthikar was warming up

 

[Grunge101]

sorry but this is now bordering on madness. You have Masood waiting in the wings and he can atleast score around 7rpo easily.

They've eaten up 8 overs and scored 1/3rd of the target.

 

[Asif321]

Bangladesh 70 at 9 overs
World class openers at 48

 

[Kianig89]

Rizbar if you bottle this then things will be nasty

 

[adil79]

Babar has also enhanced his health. As you can see he is more healthy and will score big sixes. Don't worry people. Don't lose hope. Just hope Babar gains form

 

[Snowflake]

If the idiot can’t score, at least hit out. Why the hell are you effing up the team??!

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 48/0 (9 overs).

80 runs are needed from 66 balls.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Please be a miracle. Please my lord. I want to see 50/4 . A hatrick....

You are better off seeing 100/0 in 20 overs.

 

[mrtaim3]

Babar is terribly out of form but why the heck rizwan is not playingg aggressively?????

 

[Rana]

Shakib having a poor game

 

[Thephenom]

When they were making runs, they were running between the wickets really well but there legs are stuck in jelly

 

[Kianig89]

Skipper vs skipper

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 78 runs in 63 balls.

some cameos required here

 

[Abhilash93]

Wake me up when Haris comes to bat.

 

[adil79]

This babar innings reminds me of Karachi Kings innings he played where he remained not out and scored a 50.

 

[NeVerMind]

Finally Babar uses his feet and dispatches Shakib for a 4 over this head

 

[hamzie]

finally babar

 

[Asif321]

Unlucky for Pakistan . Rizwan got dropped behind

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Babar with a boundary. What a miracle.

 

[90MPH]

Run rate under 8 but creeping up.

Don’t panic yet guys, game is in Pak hands.

 

[Mainul]

Both these batters are doing great.
Only 128 target.

Keep wickets. Chase easily. Only 1 big over needed to get the run rate down. Only a miracle can save us.

 

[IAJ]

Shot Babar!

 

[JilaWatan]

Middle order odi batters, at best

 

[m.shah]

Boundary after ages

 

[msb314]

44

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZ will be finding ways of not getting babar out

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Thank God a 4.

 

[sweep_shot]

50 is up.

 

[Geil]

Which Bangladesh bowler will Babar & Rizwan target?

Do they have any plan to how to pace the chase or just reacting and don't know how to approach this target

one thing that is very clear is both are possibly playing for their spot in this Pak T20 team

 

[Kianig89]

Asia Cup final Eng decider Nz final and now this we must sail through

 

[Rana]

If there is one team who can lose from here

It’s Pakistan

 

[msb314]

RR is fine

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 56/0 (10 overs).

Shakib is bowling rubbish.

 

[Sycamore]

This has been some of the worst batting I have ever seen so far.

 

[OmaIR1]

Babar needs to just retire hurt. He is costing us the game, what an idiot.

His slow test innings has destroyed us in the first 6 as usual. I don't care about Babar finding form, Pakistan winning is more important. Selfish innings by Babar.

 

[sweep_shot]

72 runs are needed from 60 balls.

Easy.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

RRR is 7.2, they need to do 8 min every over, with one big over here and there, else we are watching repeat of Zim.

 

[Kianig89]

Next up should be Haider

 

[AAli98]

Cut em some slack a place in a wrld cup semi is on the line.. As SA would tell you it’s not a given you have to earn it !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 72 runs in 60 balls.

Next 5 overs Pakistan need to take calculated chances here

 

[Kriketer]

Quite awful from Babar....he really seems out of form and short on confidence. Been wanting him to bat 1 down but guy needs to start scoring again. Since that quote of this too shall pass it has mostly been downhill other than that one off England inning

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Situation is such that if one of them goes out and Haris follows, panic will set in

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 72 runs in 60 balls.

Next 5 overs Pakistan need to take calculated chances here

 

[Snowflake]

Is pakpassion running slow for ya’ll too?

 

[NeVerMind]

Cut em some slack a place in a wrld cup semi is on the line.. As SA would tell you it’s not a given you have to earn it !!

Even England just about managed a sub par chase of 141...but still...watching Babar bat like this is painful

 

[mrtaim3]

I don't care if the score is less. There should have been at least 75-80 score after 10. We can't just take it deep without any sense. If there is collapse here now, they will lose because there is still plenty of runs to score. Thats just ridiculous and pathetic batting

 

[Ozeirk]

We will see a different approach in the last 10

 

[Snowflake]

Situation is such that if one of them goes out and Haris follows, panic will set in

Not really. This myth has been busted

 

[Theo_14]

Next up should be Haider

He isn’t playing

 

[shamaan]

Don't mind how they win this game aslong as they win

 

[hamzie]

Is pakpassion running slow for ya’ll too?

its always slow

 

[shane]

It’s incredible to think that a team which makes 127 and takes no wickets in the first 10 overs still has a decent chance of winning.

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan needs a 15 run over soon. Taskin, Mustafizur overs are still remaining.

 

[Grunge101]

Can we please have atleast one of them retired hurt? I honestly can't watch this anymore

 

[Rana]

Shakib needs to bowl a lot flatter

 

[Zeshan547]

Only Pak can screw from here. Just throw caution to the wind now for goodness sake.

 

[Snowflake]

its always slow

Lol! Taking ages to refresh today. Quite annoying

 

[Justcrazy]

Its really sad to see they making same mistake as against Zimbabwe !!!

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar put out of his misery

 

[MSaad1237]

Lol Babar get outta here..
