LOL Shaheen is a certified trundler now. 132ks

 

[Major]

Great total by pakistan

 

[NeVerMind]

De Kock gone! AFRIDI strikes

 

[Major]

And pakistan gets a wicket on same wickets that papoose called flat

 

[Rana]

Pak are winning this easily

 

[hamzie]

what a start
2 of the best teams in this group by far

 

[Rana]

Babar
Rizwan
Shan

All three need to be booted out for us to progress and compete with the big boys

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

what a start
2 of the best teams in this group by far
no one has to rely on influencing umpires

Best team loose to zimbabwe

 

[NeVerMind]

No one here... People so busy arguing against each other on other threads that they have forgotten just to sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Oh man I wish Pakistan could go through by winning their last 2 matches

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Six by rosso

 

[Ahmed216]

Rain drops going to make the pitch even better

 

[Rana]

No one here... People so busy arguing against each other on other threads that they have forgotten just to sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts..

Misbah divided us when he sacked Mickey and brought his toxic agenda into Pakistan

 

[hamzie]

Oh man I wish Pakistan could go through by winning their last 2 matches

definitely deserve it
top 2 teams are SA and pak in this grp

 

[Shafi]

Do we have any realistic chance to go to semi? Or do we have to rely on luck

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

definitely deserve it
top 2 teams are SA and pak in this grp

But that zimbabwe lost has bottled it for us

 

[Smbhayi]

Look like Bavuma didn't get PCL memo..

 

[Major]

Misbah divided us when he sacked Mickey and brought his toxic agenda into Pakistan

So you admit to being influenced by misbah.

Naseem needs to bowl well here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Do we have any realistic chance to go to semi? Or do we have to rely on luck

can nederland beat SA and that too with a good margin?

 

[Rana]

Do we have any realistic chance to go to semi? Or do we have to rely on luck

Weather

The SA v NL game needs to be rained off I heard

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Naseem has been disappointing more often than now. Saf will go after him . Need to get early wkts

 

[hamzie]

Do we have any realistic chance to go to semi? Or do we have to rely on luck

either ind lose to zimb
or netherlands and SA gets washed out
or netherlands beat SA

all unlikely but never know SA can choke
Ind will find a way to influence their game

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

If bavuma can hit boundaries it means pitch is phatta

 

[Major]

Do we have any realistic chance to go to semi? Or do we have to rely on luck

Luck. Sa vs Netherlands rain off but that day has 0 percent chance of rain.

If India loses to Zimbabwe than yeh

 

[JibranAnsari]

very difficult for bowlers , wet outfield and ball. SA should get the target easily.

 

[Rana]

So you admit to being influenced by misbah. You sir are mentally weak than.

Naseem needs to bowl well here

Admit being influenced? You worship Misbah

 

[Ahmed216]

So swing or seam with wet ball

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Klaasen can bat aswell who is a replacement for miller today

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to get roussow out quickly

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Gone

 

[hamzie]

Riley goes
unfortunately he got used to 120 km/hr trundlers last game and now cant face pace

 

[Smbhayi]

Russow gone.. 2nd wicket for Afridi

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need to get roussow out quickly

Wish fullfilled.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Riley goes
unfortunately he got used to 120 km/hr trundlers last game and now cant face pace

He was out for duck last match right?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Choker vs big choker

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

How sad to see Pakistan performing well but t20 WC hopes hanging by a thread

 

[90MPH]

SA needs to go exactly 10 runs an over from here.

 

[Hextro]

Shaheen clearly isn't anywhere near his best but he's still making the most of it. Love his fighting attitude.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Win prediction currently at 86% for Pakistan. With russow gone its should be like 95% with Miller not in the line-up

 

[alone1213]

Shaheen is bowling in 140s now.
He is no more a trundler anymore.

 

[90MPH]

Don’t bowl short to SA batsman.

It’s not going to work on this wicket.

 

[alone1213]

Haris needs to use his brain and no need to bowl these unnecessary short balls.

 

[alishahid]

Keep bavuma till the end

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Bavuma getting his form back exactly when SA needed for SF

 

[Hextro]

Win prediction currently at 86% for Pakistan. With russow gone its should be like 95% with Miller not in the line-up

Win predictors are a scam. SA can hit 3 sixes and the win predictor will be in their favour.

 

[Rana]

I’m so happy today I feel like booking a table in Nusret and order the Golden Tomahwak

After 3 years I have seen my real Pakistan team!

 

[alone1213]

Why is haris bowling 137 ks.

 

[Kriketer]

Misbah divided us when he sacked Mickey and brought his toxic agenda into Pakistan

Quite comical coming from poster who seems to be usually complaining only, along with the usual weeping brigades. You guys always find a way to nag n weep

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I’m so happy today I feel like booking a table in Nusret and order the Golden Tomahwak

After 3 years I have seen my real Pakistan team!

3 years ? You didn't see last years WC ?

 

[hamzie]

dont celebrate yet
we have thrown many games from winning positions

 

[Smbhayi]

That's a superb shot by Bavuma..

 

[Major]

That should be out

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rauf below 140ks today

 

[IAJ]

run out?

 

[ex-q-zit]

Keep bavuma till the end

Be careful what you wish for. He is striking at over 200.

 

[alone1213]

That's more like it. 149 ks bring more.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Bavuma gone, run out.

 

[Rana]

3 years ? You didn't see last years WC ?

I don’t care about winning in the wrong/make shift way

 

[IAJ]

Saved

 

[RexRex]

The diminutive Bavuma is going to rock Pakistan to its core today. Mark my words.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow he's made it.. he's lightening fast then..

 

[alone1213]

Haris has not looked good today.

 

[msb314]

Our luck is so bad

 

[Rana]

Great match on our hands

 

[Afhan Ali]

Haris Rauf deserve this humiliation

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wth was that Man Haris Rauf

 

[Smbhayi]

20 runs from that over by Rauf..

 

[Asif321]

Rauf going for 20 . Rare

 

[Major]

3 years ? You didn't see last years WC ?

He did. He was celebrating Rizwan and babar scoring and was over the moon in that commentary thread.

He is not gonna admit it now

 

[asadee]

When Shaheen clicks Rauf doesn't

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rauf to cleaners

 

[ex-q-zit]

20 run over by Rauf

 

[Usman Chadda]

Amazing bowling Haris Rauf. Brain dead bowling, no rhythm whatsoever.

 

[IAJ]

20 runs of the over, that is not good enough.

 

[90MPH]

Don’t bowl short - it’s too easy to hit on this wicket.

Bowl fuller will get wickets.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Haris will never recover from that Kohli sixes.

 

[Smbhayi]

Is this a phatta pitch?

 

[Savak]

Rauf back to his bottling ways.

 

[emranabbas]

Should try shadab or nawaz
