Pakistan (153/3) advance to the final of the T20 World Cup after a 7 wicket over New Zealand (152/4)

[world cup captain]

Excellent powerplay so far. Get 55 and the game is our's to lose.

 

[zaidihusain]

Amazing start by both openers. Keep going

 

[rhony]

Best part is the yummy Sodhi isnyet to come. Game is Pakistan's

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Tremendous batting

 

[Aman]

Lmao this is comical bowling.

 

[RamLakhan]

NZ have always been Pakistan's bunny!

 

[Nado_]

How much of a threat is Sodhi going to be

 

[imshally81]

Great over for Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

5overs negated

 

[Aman]

Making the worst opening pair look like Hayden and Gilchrist.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Heart palpitations stopped. Thank God.

 

[Markhor]

This is what we've been crying out for from this pair. Intent, positivity, get ahead of the RRR and don't worry about the middle order.

 

[Smbhayi]

Another good over by Pak, 15 from it.

 

[Major]

THANK GOD they did not change the openers, great captaincy by Babar Azam

 

[shamaan]

Good start from both

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan on top

 

[msb314]

Very good fluency but both

 

[RamLakhan]

A certain touch of 1992 too, especially if Pakistan meet England in the finals! (They must go ahead and win it!)

 

[Aman]

This is what we've been crying out for from this pair. Intent, positivity, get ahead of the RRR and don't worry about the middle order.

No offense we've bowling absolutely rubbish.

Short and wide.

 

[Major]

Making the worst opening pair look like Hayden and Gilchrist.

exactly, Shaheen and the pacers did that with Fin Allen

 

[IAJ]

THANK GOD they did not change the openers, great captaincy by Babar Azam

Excellent by Babar

 

[Energy]

Spinners will be the final test. Pass that and we're really going to the finals!

 

[Nado_]

No offense we've bowling absolutely rubbish.

Short and wide.

How much of a threat will Sodhi be, he is your player I worry about

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Edged but safe and lucky 4444

 

[NeVerMind]

Even top edges going for 4!

 

[imshally81]

Edged n 444

 

[Major]

Bbar get a 4 at the back.

360 player

 

[Aman]

exactly, Shaheen and the pacers did that with Fin Allen

Allen tried to slog from ball 1, he should have waited it out and hit him out when in.

 

[90MPH]

Pitch still has pace if you hit it hard.

 

[Major]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] hiding in your cave?

time to come up with a new excuse, fluke win )

 

[IAJ]

Lol Ian Smith getting carried away

 

[shariqnoor]

Nz always makes a comeback intragame. I don't expect this to be over in the very least. This match will see-saw for sure.

 

[NeVerMind]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] hiding in your cave?

Meri dua hai that he stays away until the WC is over because that would mean we are doing well!

 

[Aman]

Nah lol, every thing going for Pakistan.

 

[Smbhayi]

Not a strong appeal, would have been tight.. and top edges go to boundary..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That is what intent brings, top edge for 4.

 

[90MPH]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] hiding in your cave?

Like always

 

[Firebat]

Who's ready for Sunday!

 

[Slim]

time to come up with a new excuse, fluke win )

Maybe writing his next couple of paragraphs filled with utter trash for another POTW.

 

[Major]

Cant blame NZ, especially when the no.1 and no.2 are batting against u

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

55-0 after 6. Alhumdoillah

 

[Kianig89]

So far like a sleazy dream

 

[NeVerMind]

55 runs without loss in the power play!

 

[Aman]

How much of a threat will Sodhi be, he is your player I worry about

It's over, this start killed all pressure. You can't lose from here.

 

[IAJ]

In sha Allah Pakistan will win this. I will keep supporting the team. Kiwis can also make a comeback, nothing is over.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Big match players these two.

 

[Ahmed216]

Even top edges going for 4!

Swing hard in PP.
INTENT

 

[chinaman00]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] hiding in your cave?

He deserves this humiliation.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Poor pitch for New Zealand, Good pitch for Pakistan, icc has done a fabulous job asper some

 

[Slim]

Meri dua hai that he stays away until the WC is over because that would mean we are doing well!

Like always

Well you guys need to stop hyping this misery merchant. He has no cricketing sense. Speaks absolute rubbish. Is just a vile man with pure hatred for Pakistan.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I believe best PP for the whole WC

 

[shamaan]

Brilliant power play

 

[Suleiman]

Important passage of play, le spinners

 

[msb314]

Wonderful PP

 

[imshally81]

Great PP

 

[Major]

55/0 in pp nice

 

[IAJ]

There were too many negative posts while bowling. But we should not get carried away with this start either. Stay modest and calm.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Spinner on

 

[90MPH]

Game isn’t over yet guys.

Once ball gets old it becomes harder to hit. They need to rotate strike.

However couldn’t ask for a better dream start.

 

[Kianig89]

Only a Pakistan choke can save NZd

 

[rhony]

Milk Santner and attack Sodhi

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I believe best PP for the whole WC

and what a time to come for it.

 

[imshally81]

Santner is the key here

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Too early to celebrate ..... come on guys. I hope they chase they total.

 

[Rana]

This is brilliant

Pakistan deserve to win now

Santner hurrying it

[Sherazkhalid]

I hope we are content taking singles off the spinners and keep scoreboard ticking like NZ rather than going after them.

 

[Major]

babr smacks a 4

 

[Ahmed216]

I am pleasantly surprised. They are batting like breeze. BATTLE HARDENED now this relatively inexperienced side

 

[IAJ]

Shot babar

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Review time

 

[Rana]

That looked pretty close

 

[imshally81]

Review taken

 

[Major]

NZ desperate and take a review

 

[RamLakhan]

Making the worst opening pair look like Hayden and Gilchrist.

I think there is a certain aura behind this pair! Perhaps they will show up more during chasing in knockout games!

 

[rhony]

Going down leg
