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

[emranabbas]

Pakistan lost it from this point

 

[TeymurBlake]

Nafay or Even Fakhar would have been better options than Babar at No.4.

 

[jnaveen1980]

maintaining BBL form . Babar.

 

[Local.Dada]

Babar is out of form. It’s not lack of ability. he was never this bad or struggling.

Having said that Rizwan would have been a better option than Babar in the middle order @RizwanT20Champ

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Farhan will have to take risk again to make up for Babar BS

 

[Asif321]

fakhar sitting out is sad . Watching useless Agha and Babar in line up

 

[big_gamer007]

Sometimes you get the impression Babar actually reads these forums and is trolling. 7 off 11 against the USA?

It’s a perfect innings so far, he will accelerate at the end and score big.

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar needs to shift a gear

 

[Asad T]

Babar can't even hit a boundary off a free hit... painful

Beofre this innings

[mrtaim3]

Ehsaan Adil has been pretty poor so far

 

[kingusama92]

Beautiful start to the Test for Babar.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ehsan Adil gifting wides and no balls to PAK

 

[mrtaim3]

Action looks suspicious

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar needs to come in for Babar vs India for sure

 

[emranabbas]

Yaar wth is babar doing

 

[srh8119]

Ghanta Babar wasted a free hit as well, Hesson is beyond stupid

 

[TeymurBlake]

USA ground fielding has been somewhat mixed to appalling.

 

[Slim]

Babar needs to be taken to the back of the barn and set free from this world. Hes like the old dog who is just painful to witness.

 

[m.shah]

Babar playing it safe

 

[Fast bowler6929]

It's just beyond how this zimbo gets so much traction.
How can this fraud has so many fans.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Farhan will likely take risk now

 

[G0rmintAunty]

It’s a perfect innings so far, he will accelerate at the end and score big.

Yeah, post Tea.

 

[emranabbas]

Fakhar needs to come in for Babar vs India for sure

No chance we will stick with this rubbish untill he is 40

 

[TeymurBlake]

Who told Angelo Mathews to commentate?

Where is Sangakkara?

 

[JattMaula]

Bobby hitting a half tracker to a boundary rider

 

[mango_bite77]

Babar should be ashamed of himself

 

[Asif321]

Who told Angelo Mathews to commentate?

Where is Sangakkara?

If Wasim can everyone can .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who told Angelo Mathews to commentate?

Where is Sangakkara?

He sounds like he is drunk

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

“He labours into those muscle shots, Babar Azam”

 

[Local.Dada]

Babar will snap any moment I feel

 

[Slim]

You can see the pressure on his face . What a waste of experience

I only see beghairti and besharmi on his face.

 

[Asif321]

No boundary till now for Babar

 

[batandballbattle]

true blue american babar wazamshington

 

[emranabbas]

Is that ramiz ***** trying to defend babar

 

[JattMaula]

Damn, Bobby needs milk.

 

[Slim]

Ramiz asking pakistan to take 2s on the long fences and not hit 4s and 6s????

No wonder this guy is the biggest Babar supporter. Lakh di lanat

 

[jnaveen1980]

Honest answer. Do you think Babar will find a place in the USA side?

 

[Azzurri]

why do these stupid people keeping playing this lahori khooota

 

[Asif321]

Is that ramiz ***** trying to defend babar

Because of Ramiz . Babar is playing till now

 

[TeymurBlake]

He's forcing it Babar, he's obviously trying to go against his natural game.

Maybe he could go against his fans & retire from T20I.

 

[big_gamer007]

Yeah, post Tea.

Don’t underestimate Babar, against minnows he will time his innings and finish at 100+ strike rate.

 

[Omer2002]

Ok we r r doomed i actually think usa can get 160 to 170 it has to be more

 

[Slim]

Honest answer. Do you think Babar will find a place in the USA side?

Nope

 

[khyberlion]

We deserve to lose by playing shameless babar.

 

[Asad T]

after facing 16 balls, you should at LEAST be 20 runs into your innings

 

[kingusama92]

Looks like Pakistan put the nightwatchman in with 10 overs left. He's doing his job well.

 

[m.shah]

Honest answer. Do you think Babar will find a place in the USA side?

Not even in Nepal side

 

[Asif321]

Better Usman khan should bat at 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very weak muscled Babar. Where is his testosterone going

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Finally a boundary man it's been a while.

Is Babar going to hit a boundary today?

 

[NeVerMind]

No boundary till now for Babar

How's that even a surprise? Man has not played one shot in anger and probably won't until it is too late

 

[Slim]

That would be his biggest contribution to pakistan cricket. But hes too selfish and beghairat for that.

He's forcing it Babar, he's obviously trying to go against his natural game.

Maybe he could go against his fans & retire from T20I.

 

[Asif321]

Farhan for rescue again

 

[emranabbas]

Too much pressure on farhan because of Babar

Farhan will lose his wicket any ball now

 

[JattMaula]

Farhan bout to have back pain from carrying Big Bobby B.

 

[zahid01]

Can't Henson see that babar is no good for the team he should be substituted this shamefull individual atleast make an attempt to score quickly

 

[Slim]

Farhan finally smashing one, hes under extra pressure because of Babar tuuu marrr on the other side.

 

[Concerned]

Babar never has momentum in his innings as there is limited intent at the start

 

[TeymurBlake]

Hmmm interesting, Mohammad Nawaz is kited up with his helmet on.

He's probably coming in ahead of Usman Khan. Good.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan wasted Farhan for good 2 years

 

[TeymurBlake]

Sahibzada Farhan is playing a gem of a knock.

 

[Slim]

i really hope Babar gets out this over.

 

[Human786]

101/2 in 12

 

[Asif321]

Hmmm interesting, Mohammad Nawaz is kited up with his helmet on.

He's probably coming in ahead of Usman Khan. Good.

Yeah probably good . Usman is good against spin though . Should be playing Babars place

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Hmmm interesting, Mohammad Nawaz is kited up with his helmet on.

He's probably coming in ahead of Usman Khan. Good.

usman khan shouldnt be playing

 

[hamzie]

Babar has to be dropped after this

 

[emranabbas]

Pakistan wasted Farhan for good 2 years

Me and @Rana were asking for farhan but we got laughed at

Farahan was top domestic batsmen at the time

 

[jnaveen1980]

This has to be handsdown one of the worst commentary panel bar none .

 

[Slim]

Pakistan wasted Farhan for good 2 years

They have wasted countless talent for the likes of Babar and Rizwan. Sochna bhi mana hai..

 

[batandballbattle]

it has gotten to the point where it is actually in the opposition's interest to keep this sloth at the crease with freindly bowling since they know he won't punish it

 

[Asif321]

Babar

 

[big_gamer007]

Good shot by Babar, calculated to keep strike before he launches

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

hopefully babar is dropped for India game, absolutely pathetic display..

 

[khyberlion]

Babar should be ashamed of himself

You need to have an atom of shame in you first which he clearly doesn't.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

@RizwanT20Champ watching this innings from Farhan. But...but Boobzy the King scored 46 off 42 against USA

 

[JattMaula]

it has gotten to the point where it is actually in the opposition's interest to keep this sloth at the crease with freindly bowling since they know he won't punish it

That fielder didn't even try to catch Bobby.

 

[IAJ]

This slow wicket, big ground, making things even worse for Babar. He needs quick Indian/pakistani wickets. Hardly crossing the inner circle here

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think USA is trying to get Babar out. Their lines suggest that.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

babar ....six

 

[Mohraheem]

This exactly Misbah era tactics . One guy hits and other guy plays tuktuk rest match
