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

[Asif321]

Imam always does this when in strong position he will gift the wicket

 

[ArabKnight]

Imam ul Haq the destroyer of Pakistan. Destroyed Pakistan’s chances at winning.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Pakistan's two premier batsman are on the pitch now.
Match on

 

[Firebat]

Can't believe we gave 2 wickets to this guy

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan making stonis look like prime mcgrath

 

[Buffet]

Openers have done the job here. Almost half way there with 8 wickets in hands.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan reading something

 

[7sins]

No way we are chasing this one of those 2 dummies had to make a hundred

 

[Sunzi]

It's 155-2 all over again

 

[TheSultan]

Imam special

 

[GLORY OF '92]

250 all out

 

[Shafi]

Parchi Imam is out after his usual 50.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Well played Imam

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

It is that guy sultan .......... who wished it to happen. happy now.

 

[oatmeal]

Two of Pakistan's best batsmen at the crease with a good platform. These two need to be there till the 35th over

 

[JattMaula]

"The Pakistan Partnership" on!

 

[Asif321]

Now slowing the game down time starts

 

[CricketAnalyst]

You can't expect 70 ball hundreds with 0 risks every time. Imam's knock was good and so was Abdullah. It's a good start for Rizwan and Babar to prove themesleves and take forward. There's lots of batting and with positive intent Pakistan should chase this down.

 

[King_Babar]

Pakistan is not wining it, they should play for the run rate at least.

 

[batandballbattle]

making stonis look like peak marshall here

 

[chinaman00]

Babar triggered a collapse with his cheap fall, looks like shafique will trigger another collapse with his brainless shot.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Poor poor knock from Imam

Him and his uncle will be buzzing, that knock has cemented his place in the team for another 5 years.

 

[7sins]

Stonis bowling nothing just banging in short balls at 128 130

 

[10sion]

The history of ODI cricket can be subdivided into some distinct chucks.

1. 60 Over ODIs
2. Pre-T20 era
3. Post-T20 erra


Since the advent of T20s, teams play ODIs as an extended T20.

Still twice since advent of T20s

 

[Marooned]

Openers have done the job here. Almost half way there with 8 wickets in hands.

Yeah. Not like rr is a factor here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Score is no 155/2

 

[mominsaigol]

Imam was good tbf, now upto rizzu and Babar, Allah khair karei, cause even imam played positively today, if rizzu stat pads i will scream

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

RizBar combo for the win now...

Inshallah ..... thats what we should wish for. not wishing for our players to get out.

 

[heddie19]

Difference between class of Babar and Abdullah is quite evident

Babar is an accomplished Batter. Abdullah is still learning. I am a fan of both.

 

[imshally81]

4 runs

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

What a class shot that was.

 

[Farabi]

Pakistan fans: we need to show more intent. Why aren’t we attacking Stoinis.

Also Pakistan fans: We gifted the wicket. What was that bad shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Him and his uncle will be buzzing, that knock has cemented his place in the team for another 5 years.

I doubt it. Public opinion is firmly against him. I actually thought he had turned a corner prior to this WC but this was just awful.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan just gifting wickets to this scrub bowler when he should be getting smashed for sixes. Disappointing stuff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

159/2

 

[ArabKnight]

Pakistan is not wining it, they should play for the run rate at least.

They’re gonna be 7th or 8th on the table.

 

[TheSultan]

There gonna be more dots on the pitch than in the stadium now

 

[10sion]

Two of Pakistan's best batsmen at the crease with a good platform. These two need to be there till the 35th over

So just a partnership of 11 overs?

 

[Buffet]

Just a good block goes for a 4 here. One of them needs to go big here and Pakistan can do it.

 

[topspin]

He's a hack who can be groomed and is a vital no 7 for Pakistan. You want shadab or usama as your no 7? Good luck

You could bat him at 6 instead of chacha. I can't see Ifti playing much longer due to his age.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

209 to win in 156.. Tiny ground, dew effect, ordinary bowling..
Surely Pakistan's game to lose

 

[7sins]

No sign of the dew

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two right handers to bowl to. Australia will be relieved

 

[Sunzi]

That was an incredible shot. Looked like a punch to the man at mid-on lol

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

You could bat him at 6 instead of chacha. I can't see Ifti playing much longer due to his age.

Lol, isn't he only 32??

 

[Azzurri]

Rizwans record against cummins is atrocious

 

[TheSultan]

It is that guy sultan .......... who wished it to happen. happy now.

Very happy - we need Rizwan now and then we can get some proper batsmen at the crease

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

250 all out

Again .. say good or just sip your tea.

 

[RexRex]

Team Green is winning this easily.

Congrats Pakistan.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Very happy - we need Rizwan now and then we can get some proper batsmen at the crease

Are you Australian?

 

[imshally81]

Edged n 444

 

[mominsaigol]

Difference between class of Babar and Abdullah is quite evident

That's because babar is acomplished and has years of long runs. Every one knows he's currently > Abdullah lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia lacks accuracy today. So many wide balls.

 

[TheSultan]

Are you Australian?

Pakistan fan here - proud Pakistan fan

 

[Sunzi]

Streaky Rizzy-Boy

 

[mominsaigol]

You could bat him at 6 instead of chacha. I can't see Ifti playing much longer due to his age.

No at 6 we must find a bowling allrounder like pandya. Idk who will fill that role though

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

So just a partnership of 11 overs?

Really guys ...... no 110 + 50 runs

 

[Kroll]

Won't mind Riz's dramaybaazi today if he can help us get over the line but target is massive.

 

[mominsaigol]

Are you Australian?

I am, Australian Pakistani, both my teams are playing lol

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

No at 6 we must find a bowling allrounder like pandya. Idk who will fill that role though

miss razzaq.

 

[Nasty Naz]

I think this is the key partnership here, they have to bat for a while and bat quickly enough that the score is within reach in the last 10 overs.

200 by 30 overs is doable and then aiming for 270-280 minimum by 40 overs is needed to have hope of chasing it down in the last 10.

 

[TheSultan]

Looks like someone has had a word with Rizwan to grow a pair, good work

 

[imshally81]

4 by Rizwan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cummins a genuine match loser as captain, bowler and fielder. They may be packing bags after this match being unable to defend 367

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This guy Rizwan is Pakistan's best ever wicketkeeper batsman.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I am, Australian Pakistani, both my teams are playing lol

fine ...... dont make more wishes. go ask for a million pounds and at least it will make your life better.

 

[NeVerMind]

Even with two wickets, we are only 3 runs behind the Aussies...must have been when the spinners pegged the openers back

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like someone has had a word with Rizwan to grow a pair, good work

Hardik Pandya lol That news was all over the social media

 

[batandballbattle]

damn he played cummins like a spinner there!

 

[7sins]

Man this is such a good batting wicket imam made decent 70 but no where a
Near a good knock.

 

[Firebat]

Pakistan only 3 runs behind Aus at this stage.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Bring Hazelwood ,he will take rizwan's wicket.

 

[Buffet]

Fully on track here , just need to keep playing shots. It will go for 4 most of the times. Outfield is super fast.

 

[globetrotter]

Aussie bowlers kept their worst performance for this match only?

 

[Aviator]

Pakistan should throw away both the openers and open with babar and rizwan like in T20s...

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Cummins a genuine match loser as captain, bowler and fielder. They may be packing bags after this match being unable to defend 367

Inshallah ......

 

[TheSultan]

Rizwan on lapaytoo mode today - fair enough at least he’s trying to score

 

[7sins]

Target less than 200 now

 

[mominsaigol]

Won't mind Riz's dramaybaazi today if he can help us get over the line but target is massive.

Rizzu is good, problem is imam at the top lol. He's fine at 4. Babar needs to improve this cup though.

 

[Energy]

This is a key partnership and hoping the big two for Pakistan can play with some flair.
