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

[TheSultan]

This is why you must get ahead of the rate - all this taking it deep is nonsense

 

[NeVerMind]

Poor chacha

Can’t read the wrist spinners

Eye sight not what it used to be...

 

[aukhan]

1 batsman short

We are 1 middle order batsmen short in the squad.

 

[oatmeal]

Nawaz cant afford to play dots here

 

[mrtaim3]

I knew Chacha would get out to googly. He is very timid against spinners.

 

[Thephenom]

How does Zampa get wickets, I’ve never seen such a average spinner

 

[jnaveen1980]

Today Starc was completely off the boil bowling both sides of the wicket. Only other threat was zampa. But stoinis came out of syllabus

 

[mominsaigol]

Time for rizzu to play like butler

 

[NeVerMind]

Nawaz looking like a proper tail ender

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz is lost

 

[angrypathan]

Nawaz is so ordinary

 

[ads101]

If we’d have kept shadab think we would have won. Life is cruel sometimes. There’s still a chance though.

 

[ArabKnight]

Nawaz the match winner 0 off 3.

 

[Marooned]

Chacha is a pace basher but struggles vs spin. Been saying this forever.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Can Usama bat? how good is he if 40 required of 20 balls?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Scaring the opposition is important ...... if chahcha continued the assault, may be australia would be giving away runs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hasan Ali should have been sent

 

[JattMaula]

Nawaz looking like a proper tail ender

He has played 3 balls.

 

[oatmeal]

Come on Nawaz at least swing the bat

 

[Kroll]

Nawaz is utter garbage, should have just played another batter instead who could bowl a bit.

 

[Shafi]

Babar should be blamed for today's failure.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan will play his average then out

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan has just one big shot

 

[ArabKnight]

Can Usama bat? how good is he if 40 required of 20 balls?

Probably 5 off 18.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As long As these two bat, game on. This is a six hitting ground. You can quickly make up for tight over

 

[FearlessRoar]

 

[Galla]

he is a tullar which might work on these short boundaries but wont rely too much on him

Can Usama bat? how good is he if 40 required of 20 balls?

 

[shah_1]

Imad is 100 times a better cricketer than this loser

 

[Shafi]

Babar bar Imad!!!

 

[amirm]

As long As these two bat, game on. This is a six hitting ground. You can quickly make up for tight over

Yeah but multiple sixes are needed

 

[JattMaula]

Babar should be blamed for today's failure.

Match isn't over yet. Pakistan are on course.

 

[castortroy]

Can't knock the batters here eventhough only one player can clear the boundary.

It's the bowling that is to blame alongside the shocking fielding

 

[aukhan]

Bad over.

 

[Ahmed216]

This was the time it started gripping in the first innings

 

[Asif321]

This is such a replica of last WC game vs Australia . Sarfraz was holding one end while others were falling and lost by 40 runs .

 

[Aviator]

How pakistan manage to find so many fake allrounders?
Nawaz should have been dropped permanently after Melbourne..

 

[m.shah]

Nawaz is fake allrounder

 

[ex-q-zit]

Babar should be blamed for today's failure.

When was the last time Babar performed in a crunch match?

 

[jnaveen1980]

He should have tried to attack .... I think.

I don't think he reads the spinners very well. Yea he could have tried to muscle. but it is a bit tricky against zampa who skids on. It comes at you quicker than you think.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Oh well..Chacha did his bit for the family, now its upto the rest to go for it.

Still in this.

If he scored close to a 60 runs then it would have been job done.

 

[shariqnoor]

Nawaz is a complete dud of a batsman. I cannot believe how anyone can believe that Nawaz is better than Imad. Same output with the ball but Imad completely obliterates Nawaz in batting.

 

[sindhiboy]

zampa is australia's main bowler, not the quicks. he gets the main wickets and australia winning or not depends on his form

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Nawaz needs to hit few

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan has to bat deep if we have chance

 

[emranabbas]

First 10 overs have damaged this chase

 

[angrypathan]

Pretty well established by now that Nawaz is mentally weak, would be very surprised if he makes a notable score here. Mostly up to Rizwan

 

[Marooned]

Can't knock the batters here eventhough only one player can clear the boundary.

It's the bowling that is to blame alongside the shocking fielding

Nothing remotely impressive about batting either.

 

[neonoir]

Nawaz 1 off 5 when you need 10 an over is going to lose it for Pakistan

 

[ArabKnight]

This is such a replica of last WC game vs Australia . Sarfraz was holding one end while others were falling and lost by 40 runs .

Sarfraz is a king of ODI.

Excellent batter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizwan can do one thing consistently. Not getting out easily.

 

[7sins]

How Nawaz get in the team ahead of imad is mind boggling

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz is useless

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Lol nawaz

 

[aukhan]

Wah Nawaz wah

 

[TheSultan]

We need Nawaz to be no so sharif - just go for it

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Nawaz will miss 5 balls before hitting one. He's a fraud spinner and he's a fraud batsman.

 

[Shafi]

Imad is 100 times a better cricketer than this loser

Babar doesn't like Imad

 

[DandyFellow]

It is difficult to digest for team management but we lost the match in overs 1-10. We did score at @7 from overs 11-40.

 

[Marooned]

Pretty well established by now that Nawaz is mentally weak, would be very surprised if he makes a notable score here. Mostly up to Rizwan

Most undeserving player in the XI imo.

 

[castortroy]

Game is well gone

 

[Nasty Naz]

96 off 60. Seems unlikely Pakistan pull it off unless someone plays a blinder. Can't hit Zampa or Hazelwood at all so it will be very tough.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Imad is 100 times a better cricketer than this loser

I believe Imad should have been in our team.

 

[hamzie]

Why is garbage Nawaz in the team

 

[oatmeal]

What does Nawaz have to lose, take some risks here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Take it to the last 5 overs, even 12's is possible.

 

[aukhan]

Babar’s love for mediocrity is not gonna end soon.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Riz gone

 

[shah_1]

Match over

 

[castortroy]

That's game, set and match

Zampa showing pak how to bowl spin

 

[Syed1]

96 off 60 is not possible for this team.

 

[Snowflake]

Nawaz just overthinking here. This isn't anything special from Zampa

 

[angrypathan]

Game, set, match

 

[Saj]

Zampa is different class.

High quality bowler.

 

[ArabKnight]

Mind you, this is the 2nd PP.

 

[jnaveen1980]

But you can't blame Nawaz here overly because even Aussies struggled when they were new to crease. One batsmen had to bat through. You can't win with series of cameos.

 

[aukhan]

OUT Its over

 

[oatmeal]

That looked like going down

 

[pakistanisgreat]

It was pressure created by nawaz.

 

[imshally81]

I think it was not out

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Rizwan gone?
