Pakistan [305 all out] slide to a 62-run defeat to Australia [367/9] at the ICC World Cup 2023 in Bengaluru

[boomboomcheema]

Match loser Abdullah.

 

[imshally81]

Abdullah gone

 

[emranabbas]

Who made Pakistanis so soft ?

I remember in the 90s getting bad dreams about Saeed Anwar .

Misbah ul haq

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Australia missing a trick here. Stonis will be the golden arm with his cutters.

Bhaisahaab
Kya guess kiye

 

[DandyFellow]

Lost the wrong player here. Abdullah was looking good.

 

[Smbhayi]

Brainfade from Abdullah

 

[Energy]

Knew Stoinis will get the breakthrough with his dibble sticky bowling. That's what you need on this wicket.

 

[Ali Active]

let see what babar got today platform set for him

 

[King_Babar]

What a ball to get out, poor shot selection by Abdullah. Never looked comfortable against short ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Shafique guy did not time even one bouncer. I think teams will make a note of it.

 

[Asif321]

Stupid shot

 

[shariqnoor]

Australia missing a trick here. Stonis will be the golden arm with his cutters.

Knew it.

 

[topspin]

FFS! How are you going to let Stoinis get you out?!

 

[Sunzi]

And so it begins

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Well played thought. Should have stayed little longer

 

[JattMaula]

Why charge him first ball? Everything was going well.

 

[Devadwal]

Halua Bowler get the wicket.

 

[7sins]

Knew it

 

[ArabKnight]

Left after getting 50. Babar style. Called it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Abdullah gone

Imam and babar will now just kill run rate even more

 

[The_KING]

Brainless stuff

 

[Asif321]

If babar doesn’t score today when will he then .

 

[castortroy]

This is the game here now

 

[Firebat]

No issue, he's taken Pakistan a third of the way. Up to the rest now, platform is perfect.

 

[NeVerMind]

Besties together on the pitch....

 

[mominsaigol]

The million dollar question is who should be our next captain in white ball cricket? Imad is getting on a bit even though he's the most suitable choice at present but it wouldn't be a long term appointment.

Just make haris captain.

He captained you to emerging acc win while babar came dead last. Lol.

 

[cricket.mad]

Good reception for babar from crowd

 

[emranabbas]

Babar here for his 50

 

[boomboomcheema]

Even all his sixes were fluke and drops. Good stats boosting knock. .

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think ifti should be promoted today.what you think

 

[pakistani pride]

Why getting out to stoinis...

 

[Ahmed216]

Shafique is always late on to the short stuff

 

[Buffet]

Game is set for Babar here. Can't get a better situation, strong foundation, flat pitch and a fast outfield.

 

[Rana]

Game on the platter for the boys

 

[Syed1]

Besties together on the pitch....

I'm surprised they didnt hug when Babar arrived

 

[Sunzi]

Run rate about to drop. Pressure about to mount.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Zampa and Cummins have bowled really well so far in this small ground....will be the difference

 

[ArabKnight]

Shafique is a fraud. Overhyped tuk tuk. 64(61) chasing 368.

 

[oatmeal]

Stage set for Babar to play the knock of his life

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

You think with a tail that starts at 6, we are chasing 100 in last 10

Who knows?

 

[emranabbas]

I think ifti should be promoted today.what you think

Not possible

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Babar is in.

 

[vprasanna83]

Right , stage set for Babar . It has been set for quite sometime

 

[Omer2002]

Even all his sixes were fluke and drops. Good stats boosting knock. .

Sure if u say so...

 

[chinaman00]

Shafique threw his wicket. Pathetic.

 

[Aviator]

Getting out to a part timer and that too stoinis, ia really pathetic.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

First wicket gone but still Pak will win it easily...babar will make it

 

[Asif321]

Hope not a soft dismissal for baba

 

[7sins]

Stonis balling short balls that are holding on the pitch

 

[JattMaula]

BIG BOBBY B in the house!


Make some noise Bengaluru!



We are about to witness history!

 

[Devadwal]

Don't lose momentum,keep attacking . foundation is set for Babar Azam to score match winning century

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shafique doesn't have a good pulling technique. HE likes to play straight. But square of the wicket doesn't seem strong

 

[emranabbas]

Good shot by babar

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[Nasty Naz]

Will Babar finally make him useful in this WC?

 

[topspin]

Just make haris captain.

He captained you to emerging acc win while babar came dead last. Lol.

Haris Rauf?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Now Softie will play a typical loser knock.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Babar's legs are shivering. He is so nervous.
He won't survive for too long.

 

[Theo_14]

If Babar doesn’t get a big score here then he might as well pack his bags. Legacy at stake.

 

[pak4life]

considering his strike rate a pointless innings from Shafique.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need another 100 partnership

 

[Smbhayi]

Babar always miss that leg glance..

 

[Marooned]

Babar has disappointed me enough for me to have no hope whatsoever from him.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar likes such pitches where ball comes at good height

 

[batandballbattle]

need a captain's innings here
even if they don't win, we should keep the stomach for the fight

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Wrong one gone.

Typically short-termist comment. Imam has performed for ages, Abdullah for two games. Imam is by far the better batsman, and is batting beautifully. He will win Pakistan the game unless dismissed quickly.

 

[Kroll]

Why Abdullah, Why?! You were playing so nicely.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need captain knock today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like this is the strategy

 

[NeVerMind]

Two boundaries for Babar off Stonis so good start...

 

[imshally81]

Should be a wide

 

[ArabKnight]

I’ve never seen Babar hit a boundary on second ball.

 

[Aviator]

Platform set for babar and rizwan... No pressure.. If still babar can't perform.. He doesn't deserve to be no. 1

 

[emranabbas]

Babar not here to mess about today

 

[Ahmed216]

Shafique doesn't have a good pulling technique. HE likes to play straight. But square of the wicket doesn't seem strong

Because there's no extension of arms,bent elbow

 

[JattMaula]

Bobby B on

 

[Devadwal]

What a pathetic fielding by Australian today .

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries by Babar

 

[Syed1]

Shafique doesn't have a good pulling technique. HE likes to play straight. But square of the wicket doesn't seem strong

Must be a product of gully cricket, growing up you only have the option of hitting straight else you are out, perhaps that develops some innate bias towards hitting straight.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Good going
