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

[hitthestump]

Babar was looking so good, I think that’s the turning point

 

[IAJ]

Zim-Babar gone

Calm down. He averages 70+ against these Aussies. Was a good shot, but very good catch

 

[Nado_]

All the bowlers had to do was bowl wicket to wicket , professional international bowlers can’t hit the basic length . They might aswell just lack their bags , save any more embarrassment.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Last time they won without Babar. May be Pak can pull this off?

Hopefully saud scoring fatest world cup hundered.

 

[Asif321]

Stage was set pitch was fine . Babar failed

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli 4-0 now, that 4 games he's outperformed babar in lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

134/0

Comparing with the 155/2 situation vs India. They dramatically imploded from that point.

 

[ArabKnight]

Hoping for a good performance for saud

Probably not.

Saud is a even bigger joke than Babar.

 

[pakistani pride]

This softie master will never perform in pressure situation
Stage was set for him

Cant play legspin and too lazy to work on it.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Calm down. He averages 70+ against these Aussies. Was a good shot, but very good catch

low ball .... pitch is playing up.

 

[Syed1]

They are acting like Zampa is freaking Warne

 

[7sins]

Now the collapse will begin. Whoever said Zampa and Stoinis are poor you need to have a word with yourself. They are match winners for Australia in the middle overs.

They are poor first we didn't put pressure on zampa and stonis took 2 wickets of nothing deliveries just brainfade from batsmen

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan will win it in sha Allah

 

[Marooned]

This WC has exposed Babar big time. He isn't a great batsman in my eyes anymore.

 

[Asad T]

Was a fantastic catch under pressure from the Aussie captain

 

[Devadwal]

Babar tujse nahi hota h Chase.

 

[shah_1]

Another flop for Babar

He is just an overrated batsman

 

[castortroy]

Literally every spin bowler of every team is better than pak spin attack

 

[shariqnoor]

Only 2 sixes on Bangalore ground in 30 overs is abysmal. It's like hitting only 5-6 sixes in Hong Kong.

 

[7sins]

I don't know why saud looking nervous just take it easy lots of overs to go

 

[Aseem_Khan]

What you have done king Babar ,I and including your biggest fan
@heddie19
@160KPH
@Technics 1210
All we were waiting for your 150 Babar but I have hope you will make match in other match .

 

[Ahmed216]

Doesn't use feet against spinners Babar nor does he sweep. Always looking for that short ball to pull or cut like his cousins akmals

 

[shah_1]

He did well in the last odi world cup.

He should leave the captaincy, has been absolutely garbage as a batsman in ICC tournaments.

 

[Ummii]

It's time for Saud to shine

 

[Energy]

Smirk guy is here. Let's see what he will do.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Pakistan still doing ok. It's very important that this time they haven't stopped scoring in response to wickets. As long as they keep positive the wickets won't matter.

 

[vprasanna83]

“Cometh the hour , Goeth the Babar “

 

[TheSultan]

one thing I will give babar is he was out playing a shot - and that was requirement today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only 2 sixes on Bangalore ground in 30 overs is abysmal. It's like hitting only 5-6 sixes in Hong Kong.

One was dropped. Other one barely touched the cushion. It is mind boggling Pakistan cannot put one in the stands in 28 overs in Bengaluru.

 

[hass]

Zampa has been massively disrespected for a long time in his career. You don't get the trust of the Aussie ODI side and become integral to it without being a quality operator. He's a better white ball bowler than any spinner for Pak. Comfortably.

 

[Kroll]

We're actually not that far behind at same stage but stupid loss of wickets. That Abdullah Shafique thought he had done the job and threw his wicket away and as expected, lost couple more in quick succession.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Shame on Zimbabar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They should use Ifti here. This ground will suit him.

 

[Ml12345]

Another flop for Babar

He is just an overrated batsman

He must be under immense pressure

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Babar Azam missed his century by 82 runs

 

[hass]

Ramiz is a clown.

 

[imshally81]

Ramiz is awful

 

[NeVerMind]

One was dropped. Other one barely touched the cushion. It is mind boggling Pakistan cannot put one in the stands in 28 overs in Bengaluru.

I thought because we eat beef, we.wouod have the strength?

 

[pratiktc]

Cometh the hour, goeth the Babar

 

[TheSultan]

Rambo was praying for Saud to be out

 

[7sins]

Saud looking awful

 

[castortroy]

There is obviously a clear deficiency when it comes to hitting sixes.

Teams like Afghanistan have more 6 hitting potential in their line up

 

[mominsaigol]

This is our last batting pair so we need to ensure one batsmen vets a 50 and the other 100.

Come on rizzu, please

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pakistan was on par with the run rate, even had a decent chance. Abdullah dismissed at wrong time, Imam too and then Babar. This is too much now.

 

[pratiktc]

Game is over now. Run rate will slowly cross 9 and Pak will be choked

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Wicket of Rizwan and game is over for Pakistan

 

[Marooned]

don't trust Saud either btw. He too is a mm.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

This is really poor from Babar. You can't keep getting out to spin like this. It's gotten ridiculous.

considering he played with good players of spin for a long time.

 

[shah_1]

This Saud is not a long term option in this format

 

[castortroy]

Unfortunately pak bowling attack will continue to let them down in this world cup

 

[7sins]

Aus bringing in main bowlers to up the rrr

 

[ssuhaide]

Pakistan should aim to bat out 50 overs now. Try and get to 300. Definately will be a moral victory

 

[Buffet]

This softie master will never perform in pressure situation
Stage was set for him

I have rarely seen him performing even when other set the platform against good teams.

That was a very good catch, was en easy four

That was a very good catch, was en easy four

This happens often with Babar when his team needs him. He can't play spin to save his life. Either spinners will choke him to get wicket or he will get out softly like today when there is nothing in the pitch.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Wicket of Rizwan and game is over for Pakistan

Oh yaar .......chup kar jao bhaio. it is like you are wishing for it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ramiz's commentary is like a car wreck you can't look away lol Mildly entertaining

 

[pak4life]

Not one power hitter in our top 5

 

[Ahmed216]

don't trust Saud either btw. He too is a mm.

Can't expect magic from newcomers straightaway in a WC

 

[hass]

This is the difference in the bowling attacks. Australia can bowl wicket to wicket, keep things tight, narrow the options, don't give anything away cheap. Better field placings too. This is why they're on top.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

Kohli 4-0 now, that 4 games he's outperformed babar in lol

Bro in reality Babar has no comparison with Kohli ,Kohli is goat level contender while Babar hasn't arrived yet Atg status, He's decent batsman ,Hasim Amla kind it's only poster here force comparison .

 

[sindhiboy]

Zampa has been massively disrespected for a long time in his career. You don't get the trust of the Aussie ODI side and become integral to it without being a quality operator. He's a better white ball bowler than any spinner for Pak. Comfortably.

when zampa is in form, australia win. he was in bad form in the past month, and aus was losing every match.
he is australia's main bowler and the most underrated spinner in odis

 

[viking2559]

Zimbabar should drop himself from the team. He has been awful for so long just like his yaar shadab.
Babar is the most overrated batsman in the history of cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Did Bobby fall after Rambo came in?

 

[Kroll]

Yes Saud!

 

[Hawkeye]

Where are those who always overrated Babar Azam?

At least he's the #1 ranked ODI batsman - that made you happy?

Bring on NEPAL for another 150. He never has, and never will perform at the world stage.

 

[7sins]

A quick fire 60 run inning from saud will be crucial

 

[Snowflake]

Calm down. He averages 70+ against these Aussies. Was a good shot, but very good catch

It was a terrible shot

 

[msb314]

Cmon Saud this is your chance to shine

 

[viking2559]

Saud shakeel looks poor

 

[Marooned]

The tuk tuk from openers set the stage beautifully for this loss. When you are chasing a massive 350+ target, you need to be ahead of of the required rate within the 1st 20 overs.

 

[7sins]

Dew is setting in now ?

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Shakeel and Abdullah are undoubtedly very highly skilled and talented players. But, you need to back your highly experienced players in the events like ODI world cup.
New players can be handy as a surprise package (Just like Haris) in t20I world cup but not in ODI tournaments.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

He must be under immense pressure

after india loss ...... you can only imagine.

 

[LegendAli]

Calm down. He averages 70+ against these Aussies. Was a good shot, but very good catch

Only 2 pro Babar posts since he got out and both of them are yours, just stop.

 

[Kroll]

Why can't Pak batters hit sixes, should be a go to shot against the spinner, ours get clubbed out of the ground.

 

[Marooned]

Can't expect magic from newcomers straightaway in a WC

Fair enough.

 

[Ahmed216]

Dew is setting in now ?

No signs

 

[jnaveen1980]

How many proper batsmen are left for Pakistan ?

 

[mominsaigol]

The tuk tuk from openers set the stage beautifully. When you are chasing a massive 350+ target, you need to be ahead of of the required rate within the 1st 20 overs.

The openers played fine, Babar botched it lol and put pressure on us

 

[shariqnoor]

Iftikhar is a walking wicket here. He can't hit genuine pace at all.

Whatever needs to be done, has to be done by these two. I would say just play for NRR now. Just get to 330.

 

[Technics 1210]

Babar out, haters in.
