Pakistan (224) end their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign and fail to qualify for the Semi-Finals with a 93-run loss to England (337/9)

[Kianig89]

Once again our players showing their IQ or lack thereof..

Dew is coming down... play out a few overs but no, let's try and smack it over mid on

But but but we want to score according to NRR

 

[ex-q-zit]

Business as usual for Fakhar as he falls cheaply against one of the bigger teams. I dont think he would have scored against NZ if Henry and Ferguson were playing. But Pakistan have no choice as he is the only one in the team capable of playing modern cricket.

 

[rhony]

Well that's the risk you take with an agressive opener. Boom or bust, and it's bust this time.

This is not his kind of pitch

Dew has existed in Kolkata for ages,

Why is it still a record if we chase 338?

 

[mominsaigol]

Stat padding day today and babar cheerleaders will be back with the best batsmen in the world quote

 

[emranabbas]

Ok, drop him , drop fakhar also because he failed today. Get those Sachins, Dravids and Laras from domestic into team.

What do you know about domestic?

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan are outclassed outplayed outthought in this WC, crazy stuff

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

People overreacting to a duck, shafique has still been one of the better players for us in this WC

They hate everything that came under Babar. Because hate is agenda driven and not basis facts.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Fakhar missed his 200 to save Pakistan by 199 runs

Save from what? From defeat?

 

[Kroll]

I'd play Saim and Mo Haris as openers going forward with Shafique dropping to either 3 or 4.

 

[Markhor]

Why are our batsmen so bullet headed ? You could easily hit through line of the ball in Bangalore and clear the ropes with those small boundaries.

However there was movement upfront earlier today in Kolkata when ENG batted and some more now.

Is it that hard to adapt to conditions, play out the first few overs, let the dew settle and then play expansively ?

I'm asking for common sense not the construction of NASA's next spaceship to Mars.

 

[m.shah]

What is off the boil lol.

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar the inevitable hack goes. No surprise. Rode his luck last game. On your bike fella.

Fakhar was awesome in NZ game. Can't take that away from him

 

[Ali Active]

Most boring pair to play cricket on crease rn

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I'd play Saim and Mo Haris as openers going forward with Shafique dropping to either 3 or 4.

Haris is not ready for ODIs, Saim Yes.

 

[shah_1]

Come on, he just started his career. What next? Saim fails for 4 matches and we drop him too ?

Both play different style of brand. I prefer Saim

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Just switch off the stream and do something productive which excites you.

 

[nish_mate]

make then firecracker prawns too

All PCB had to do and they had some days to do this, was to find out the caterer from England's 91/92 tour

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pace of the pitch will suit Rizwan. Very slow. England has no pacers to beat you for pace. Ideal ground to pile up "world cup" runs.

 

[mominsaigol]

They hate everything that came under Babar. Because hate is agenda driven and not basis facts.

Yes but they weren't outcaked

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ramiz raja and his obsession with pace. Willey is bowling at 120 kph so he won't bother anyone with pace according to him.

 

[Kianig89]

Haris should have been test for this game shame the friendship vutlture in teams not allowed this

 

[Ali Active]

Just switch off the stream and do something productive which excites you.

already switched off after the wicket.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Rizwan won't survive 10 balls on this pitch, 20 if he is lucky

 

[m.shah]

Ramiz raja and his obsession with pace. Willey is bowling at 120 kph so he won't bother anyone with pace according to him.

Pace is overrated

 

[Rana]

Dot balls galore

We are chasing 338 not 228

 

[Mas-LFC]

Didnt quite get Pakistani fans overconfidence on not just beating England but smashing England, like as if it’s a given. England still a force look at that team and the starting XI. Desi peeps love judging so deep and critically just because England had a 1 bad tournament means they are finished? And it’ll be a walk in the park for your team? ’lol

 

[IMMY69]

Dew has existed in Kolkata for ages,

Why is it still a record if we chase 338?

Time of year, flat wickets plus dew.

Has this World Cup produced bunsun burners with low scores?

What's your take?

 

[shah9425]

Rizwan won't survive 10 balls on this pitch, 20 if he is lucky

Sarfraz bro would have smashed double hundred right

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar played an ugly innings today. There was no intent to rotate strike. Probably got carried away by six hitting in last few games

 

[Asif321]

Both will play well with no pressure lol

 

[JattMaula]

Bobby on

 

[RyanRyan10]

Babar looking in great touch. Playing some amazing strokes.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Sarfraz bro would have smashed double hundred right

He would score double of what Rizwan makes today minimum

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Save this post, Babar to score match winning double century tonight. King Bobby Badshah!!

 

[shah9425]

He would score double of what Rizwan makes today minimum

Okay

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Sarfraz bro would have smashed double hundred right

The guy hid behind Shaheen vs Australia in 2019 WC to make sure he stays not out and he is not blamed. Guess what, Aussies ran him out on Non striker end

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

As a cricket fan i can say babar is class batsman no doubt.

 

[shah9425]

Poetic justice it was to most coward captain we had

 

[jnaveen1980]

130 kph Woakes, 128 kph Willey. Their only pace weapon had a horror show in this world cup. They m ight as well have played anderson.

 

[rhony]

Great cover drives by Bobby. Such a treat to watch

 

[RyanRyan10]

He would score double of what Rizwan makes today minimum

By hiding at no.8?

 

[MHN1293]

He would score double of what Rizwan makes today minimum

Too bad he wasn't around in the srilanka game. Would have scored 260 runs for sure!

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pakistan are officially out now

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Tuk tuk tuk

 

[shah9425]

By hiding at no.8?

Yeah

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tough to defend in dewy conditions. Moment Woakes missed his libe and length , Bobby smoked him.

Willey and Woakes need to keep hitting a line and length as much as possible and restrict the scoring

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

We are officially out of the WC

 

[Nikhil_cric]

NZ have officially qualified . Congrats to entire Southern Hemisphere

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is official now. NZ through to semi final.

 

[rhony]

Rizwan has massive balance issues. He keeps falling over

 

[CerebralPatriot]

2 runs of Wiley chasing 338

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan has massive balance issues. He keeps falling over

He is Pakistan's steve smith.

 

[MANU ROY]

Save this post, Babar to score match winning double century tonight. King Bobby Badshah!!

Maybe he might score because there is no pressure

 

[Josh]

King bobsy going strong with no pressure

 

[mominsaigol]

Bobby on

Yes because Bobby loves to attack horrible bowling like Willey and woakes .

He can't play quality bowlers as he was exposed this cup. If this was Archer Bobby would be out lol

 

[Swashbuckler]

Babar is so classy, delight to watch his strokeplay. Pity he didn't fire in this tournament.

 

[saqib.rai]

King kar lei gaa

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan blazing away 35 in 8 overs against two trundlers.

 

[m.shah]

Bobby on

King of soft runs.

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan officially out of World Cup……
Ind Vs Nz
SA Vs Aus

 

[Kroll]

Aye, Bobby's in great touch, Bobbys this n Bobbys that...yeah when WC is over.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

 

[oatmeal]

Same old tuk tuk in power play

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

So it is revenge time:

2019 SF and 1999 SF

 

[adi_62941]

Should have won that bangladesh game quicker. Again questions remains on management and coaches who are sitting their with laptops but still cant figure out NRR. Incredible

 

[castortroy]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

Surely he will be removed from captaincy after this game?

 

[Kroll]

Someone from the camp (can't remember who) was saying NRR doesn't matter.

 

[MHN1293]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

He can score a 200 here and I would still hope he gets sacked from captaincy. Will only do good for his own batting and for the team

 

[m.shah]

Going so slow

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

He shouldn't be captain post this match. He should resign. If not, board should sack him. Not because he has been horrendous captain but Pak just can't afford to loose him in Karachi-Lahore captain saga.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

We need babar the batsman. His captaincy is poor.
He was very good in his first WC when he was not the captain

 

[Rana]

Hassan Ali

 

[jnaveen1980]

Half tracker specialist Rashid will decide the course of the game

 

[RidiculousMan]

I think more than that we could've easily scored more runs vs India and Australia, if only any batter had sense to play the overs out rather than hit out.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should have won that bangladesh game quicker. Again questions remains on management and coaches who are sitting their with laptops but still cant figure out NRR. Incredible

They don't have Macbooks, thats why.

 

[Kroll]

Going so slow

This is their limit unfortunately.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch will be very tricky for both sides.

 

[hitthestump]

Babar needs a big century here to save his captaincy.

He is done.

 

[adi_62941]

Quite evident that pak is a t20 side only. We are good in t20 only. Tests and odi are not our cup of tea anymore.
