Pakistan (190/9) exorcise the ghosts of their 2024 heartbreak by defeating USA (158/8) by 32 runs in T20 World Cup 2026

[G0rmintAunty]

Shady's return to bowling form is more important, his batting was always good.

 

[Asif321]

Shaddy MOTM

 

[Zeshan547]

Guys anyone know what Mr. @MMHS is upto , long time no see. Miss your quality posts old boy. and where is our very own OG @Mamoon

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Spinners calling the shots as expected. And Usman Tariq hasn't even come on yet.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

game overs boyzzz

It was over quite some time ago

 

[DeadlyVenom]

So far no Rana Faheem either he needs a few overs under his belt so he is not completey raw if needed in future matches. Should give him and Tariq some overs now

 

[RidiculousMan]

I would still give MOTM to Farhan. He played splendidly. Boundaries aren't short either. Proper sixes he hit in middle overs

 

[imshally81]

Salman agha should bowl here

 

[RidiculousMan]

Spinners calling the shots as expected. And Usman Tariq hasn't even come on yet.

Tariq is Unleashed!

 

[CricVet]

BICC vs Usman T now. Let's go...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fielding first in SL pitches is a risky move as the ball is gripping more now with no dew.

 

[Asif321]

Tariq finally haha

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh dear...how can such a bowler is allowed??

ICC = PCB = Donald Trump

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a nice way to Jinx

No jinx. Probably the best spin quartet in the competition - Nawaz, Abrar, Tariq, Saim.

Reminds of Hafeez, Ajmal, Afridi, Raza Hasan from 2012

 

[Syed1]

Honestly when Tariq's novelty wears off his decline will be pretty steep

 

[Human786]

BICC vs Usman T now. Let's go...

Can anyone decode this ? Who is BICC ?

 

[IMMY69]

blimey who is this bowling?

 

[globetrotter]

Unusual action from Tariq....

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy won't survive the world cup with this action

 

[Rajdeep]

Even Batsman is laughing with bowler's blatant chucking

 

[Asif321]

Dehati bowling

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nafay drops the catch! He had gotten to it, but dropped

 

[SpiritOf1903]

The circus has its latest act

 

[Syed1]

I can't believe we are playing such a bowler lol

 

[imshally81]

His action seems not clean to me

 

[TeymurBlake]

Khawaja Nafay can’t keep & now can’t field.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Damage was done by monak Patel and he is playing

A fear @Devadwal may not enter the field as an imposter now to save USA

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Oh dear...how can such a bowler is allowed??

ICC = PCB = Donald Trump

Bumrah se poocho

 

[IMMY69]

Blimey who was that dropping a straight forward catch?

 

[Zeshan547]

Nazar lga de Pak fielding ko , aur kru tareef , anyways he isn't regular fielder i think.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Would love to see this guy against Vaibhav lol

 

[imshally81]

Even Batsman is laughing with bowler's blatant chucking

Is Ashwin bowling here?

 

[TeymurBlake]

Blimey who was that dropping a straight forward catch?

Khawaja Nafay.

 

[RexRex]

Is this bowler making his debut ? Never seen him before.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shubham Ranjane is clearly injured so why is he playing? How are you helping your team when you can barely run ?

 

[AAli98]

This guy won't survive the world cup with this action

Is Bumrah bowling today?

 

[Asif321]

Why Tariq action looks uglier today

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Honestly when Tariq's novelty wears off his decline will be pretty steep

As long as it gets us one WC, it would be enough, He does eloquently explain his action on VT though.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Usman Khan has been pretty good behind the stumps.

 

[jnaveen1980]

you need left handers. Can't go with full of rright handers

 

[Syed1]

Suddenly match very boring

 

[imshally81]

And india were struggling against USA

 

[jnaveen1980]

And india were struggling against USA

you were struggling against netherlands lol

 

[Rajdeep]

Where is Unmukt Chand? Doesnt he play for USA?

@jnaveen1980

 

[batandballbattle]

tightened things up after the PP
but better sides will continue to punish you, still not convinced we are making it past the S8s

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

It's a bit dumb to not give Faheem Ashraf the ball if he is your second seamer

 

[Syed1]

Watching match on PTV with Ramiz's Urdu commentary is more tortuous than Tariq's bowling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where is Unmukt Chand? Doesnt he play for USA?

@jnaveen1980

He is sidelined. Not in their plans. They are a better ODI side than T20 side. They take their time and play.

 

[imshally81]

you were struggling against netherlands lol

You will too

 

[saabir]

Looks like USA have given up chasing this. Pakistan spinners choked them..there are still 7 wickets in hand and they are taking singles and 2,s without worrying about boundaries

 

[Syed1]

This Shubham guy can bat

 

[jnaveen1980]

You will too

Let us see if you do better agianst India than USA

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Guys don't invoke thread han

 

[Justcrazy]

U.S.A. need 94 runs in 38 balls.

Only academic interest left in the game.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Khawaja Nafay.

Never play him again.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Salty Indian tears

 

[globetrotter]

Usman Tariq bowling like late train..... batsman have to wait for long

 

[Syed1]

Never play him again.

He is a sub fielder and usually keeps

 

[DRsohail]

Imagine Usman Tariq getting indian basemen out and the cries on pp lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine Usman Tariq getting indian basemen out and the cries on pp lol

There was this shufiyan muqium hyped exactly like this. They terminated his career lol

 

[CricVet]

BICC vs Pak with Usman bowling will be the ultimate battle of the tournament.

 

[TeymurBlake]

At this point you got to wonder why don’t they just play another batter, if you won’t bowl Faheem.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

We got a world class spin attack only team that can challenge this spin attack is india i mean team like australia got whitewashed and shadab is bowling like shane warne here just a great t20 player when in form.

 

[Champ_Pal]

There is no mystery in Tariq Usman. He just waits forever before he delivers the ball. Gives him the opportunity to see what the batsman is up to.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The fact we only have 3 wickets is worrying me

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

With Pakistan's spin attack, they can choke out teams.

 

[Omer2002]

Tariq has much more mystery than abrar but abrar always gets oppertunities

 

[DRsohail]

He is a good prospect. Did well in emerging asia cup .
Usman tariq with that action will hurt more even of he doesn’t do great. I know Indians will get triggered

There was this shufiyan muqium hyped exactly like this. They terminated his career l

 

[TeymurBlake]

Never play him again.

He’s not playing, he’s just 12th man.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

He’s not playing, he’s just 12th man.

Good, looks like a mental midget.

 

[Justcrazy]

80 from 30 balls

US looking to bat through and come as many runs as possible

 

[TeymurBlake]

I know he’s playing his first game of the tournament but, Usman Tariq has been a little underwhelming.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan is a dangerous team in subcontinent conditions. Their bowling is loaded with spinners who can be match winners.
The only issue with Pak is their batting. Only their openers are good. The rest are not threatening enough to scare the opposition.

 

[Asif321]

Give Faheem some bowling practice

 

[RidiculousMan]

Usman is hard to hit even on a flat pitch

 

[RexRex]

With Pakistan's spin attack, they can choke out teams.

They can chuck out teams, u mean.

 

[Syed1]

So much for Tariq's hype... Didn't seem threatening so far

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

How fascinating Pakistan has not managed to produce a wicket keeping batter after Rizwan.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Good, looks like a mental midget.

He’s actually a decent batting prospect but obviously needs to work on his fielding & keeping.
