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

[ex-q-zit]

What da hell is match winner nawaz doing scoring 2 of 8 balls. He is putting pressure on Rizzy.

As I was typing it Rizwan in trouble.

 

[King_Babar]

Nawaz's innings against India has been most damaging innings for Pakistan.

 

[Kroll]

Eff it, game over, it was as soon as Babar bottled it.

 

[JattMaula]

This will decide the match!

 

[7sins]

Lol zampa choked us again we seriously need a spin batting coach to teach these dummies

 

[KingKhanWC]

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

Not really, 50 off the last 5 and youre in pole position.

 

[castortroy]

Whenever Australia have to win a game, they become virtually unbeatable.

Pak was never going to win today

 

[Devadwal]

Rivew time

 

[ArabKnight]

It looked sliding down. Fake DRS.

 

[angrypathan]

This isn’t even good bowling from Zampa, so frustrating

 

[Hawkeye]

LOLLL at all the iMAD fans.

He's a true railu-katta FAKE allarounder. Can't hold the bat properly, and you want him in a situation like this?

Nawaz is a fake allrounder, yes.
So is Shadab.
But Imad Wasim is also as bad as them.

These fakes are our issue. Mickey/Babar need to be held accountable for them.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Game is over now

 

[Snowflake]

Nawaz to blame for this wicket

 

[7sins]

So in the end we are getting a phainty not even close

 

[aukhan]

Time to book the return flights.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What kind of a shot is this. I always see him play this.

 

[angrypathan]

Chris Brown is a terrible umpire

 

[King_Babar]

Umpires call, and Rizwan gone. Thanks Nawaz the most useless person to play for Pakistan.

 

[Hitman]

While not a great innings, he still showed more fight than Babar.

 

[Sidilicious]

Not really, 50 off the last 5 and youre in pole position.

Not with 6 wickets down. Its doable with 5 wickets down.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pro Australia crowd roars as Rizwan gets out.

 

[Asif321]

Poor innings by riz also

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rizwan out but he can't be expected to save us all the time

Did the job against SL but sadly not tonight.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Whenever Australia have to win a game, they become virtually unbeatable.

Pak was never going to win today

They don't actually look that good, if Mir hadn't dropped Hayden on 10 they would have lost this.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Nawaz took that wicket, not Zampa.

 

[Kroll]

Mediocre Pak bowlers brought this average Aussies to form.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

One big hundred is missing. No one tried to stay till the end.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Nawaz the sole reason for Rizzy's wicket. You cant play out dots at will when RRR is close to 10.

 

[Shafi]

Babar is the big passenger in the team. He should be sent back home,

 

[Nado_]

LOLLL at all the iMAD fans.

He's a true railu-katta FAKE allarounder. Can't hold the bat properly, and you want him in a situation like this?

Nawaz is a fake allrounder, yes.
So is Shadab.
But Imad Wasim is also as bad as them.

These fakes are our issue. Mickey/Babar need to be held accountable for them.

Against SENA teams all you need is spinner who bowls wicket to wicket , Imad is at least accurate and is a much better bat than Shadab and Nawaz put together

 

[jnaveen1980]

Once Zampa gets his faster one goes on he is nearly unstoppable. He will give you very little time to get under the ball.

 

[Nasty Naz]

That is likely Rizwan gone and so is the game.

This is what happens when you didn't make runs earlier in the game when the ball was coming onto the bat nicely to do it.

Babar continues to humiliate himself as an elite loser who has zero captaincy ability and can't ever come up big when the team needs him to. Truly a soft run padder.

 

[Devadwal]

Well played Pakistan . No shame in losing game after playing good cricket. Babar is the main reason why Pakistan can't chase this total .

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

On ya bike Muhammad to the pavilion. Well played but not enough.
Australia should win this now.

 

[Marooned]

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

Simple as.

Unfortunately most fans on here too don't seem to grasp it.

 

[JattMaula]

Umpires call.

Unlucky!

Or

 

[sweto]

Third class umpire.

 

[pakistani pride]

And where is the dew?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Last 10 overs of 2nd innings can be tough. If OZ dont defend this, Cummins should take his team and go back to Australia.

 

[adzzy786]

Can this guy bat??

 

[mrtaim3]

He got out because of Nawaz dot balls. Why is he even in the team? I fail to believe this. Ridiculous!

 

[King_Babar]

First 10 overs have damaged this chase

They were doing fine till Iftikhar's wicket. 106 off 72 is position most of the chasing teams would like to be in.

 

[TheSultan]

Not really, 50 off the last 5 and youre in pole position.

And when you lose wickets 80 off 8 is nigh on impossible

 

[Fazzy321]

LOLLL at all the iMAD fans.

He's a true railu-katta FAKE allarounder. Can't hold the bat properly, and you want him in a situation like this?

Nawaz is a fake allrounder, yes.
So is Shadab.
But Imad Wasim is also as bad as them.

These fakes are our issue. Mickey/Babar need to be held accountable for them.

Atleast Imad has the best bat average of over 40 and he is an economical bowler. He may not be that good but he is better than both of them combined.

 

[Snowflake]

Whenever Australia have to win a game, they become virtually unbeatable.

Pak was never going to win today

Unbeatable? Aus was mediocre as anything today.

 

[chinaman00]

Against SENA teams all you need is spinner who bowls wicket to wicket , Imad is at least accurate and is a much better bat than Shadab and Nawaz put together

Omar is not Babar’s friend and so he doesn’t make it to the Buddies XI.

 

[7sins]

Now tailender will have some fun and we all can go home

 

[IAJ]

Zampa has been out of form but just before playing Pak he has been terriffic

 

[Blackbradman]

It looked sliding down. Fake DRS.

Chill dude.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The game is .....almost done now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unbeatable? Aus was mediocre as anything today.

All their big guns were misfiring today.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Nawaz as usual tok tok

 

[hitthestump]

Useless Nawaz caused that wicket.

There is no facet of the game in which he is not a downgrade on Imad Wasim.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I underestimated cakes might reach 300.

Forfeit games and save us please

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I think DRS is a bit shady in this wc.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Nawaz is such a bad player, I have no idea how he has stayed in the team this long.

 

[Thephenom]

All 6 wickets nothing special, all gifted especially to the spinner

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Nawaz got 2. He will win for Pakistan

Kidding

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan dropped catches . Poor batting after openers too . Australia gave everything to lose this game . Even then Pakistan failed

 

[ex-q-zit]

Surprisngly Pakistan missed Shadab during fielding, batting and bowling. Well, mabe not the last one but definitely the 1st 2 aspects.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Oh well can't even hit sixes in a small stadium.

 

[castortroy]

You can't keep chasing 350 game after game.

The bowling attack is too weak to challenge any of the better teams

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should bat out 50 overs if they think they can't get to the total to minimize NRR damaged

 

[DandyFellow]

Poor innings by riz also

No, he played well but people around him all gave away their wickets. Strike rate of 115 is fine. We lost the game in the 1st PowerPlay.

 

[Shafi]

While not a great innings, he still showed more fight than Babar.

As I said before Babar would never play in A team for India, Aus, Eng, NZ or SA. Only in Pakistan we made him captain, A good for nothing batsman

 

[Blackbradman]

Nawaz is mistiming everything

 

[Marooned]

LOLLL at all the iMAD fans.

He's a true railu-katta FAKE allarounder. Can't hold the bat properly, and you want him in a situation like this?

Nawaz is a fake allrounder, yes.
So is Shadab.
But Imad Wasim is also as bad as them.

These fakes are our issue. Mickey/Babar need to be held accountable for them.

Calm down. Imad is 100x the batter while being same level to nawaz as a bowler.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Nawaz did shurli lol

 

[oatmeal]

If Ifti had not got out , this would have been a close game

 

[emranabbas]

They were doing fine till Iftikhar's wicket. 106 off 72 is position most of the chasing teams would like to be in.

No they were not

1st 10 overs is where we lost the game

Need to make use of the power play and the bowlers while they are finding rythem

 

[IAJ]

Lol no power at all in the shots

 

[hitthestump]

Shadab needs to play simply because he cannot have a tailender like Nawaz walking in at 7

 

[light]

Chacha should bat up the order. He would have done better if he had more time to bat.

 

[Leeon1994]

Nawaz average with the bat, Average with the bowl just like Shadab. Don't know who are the selectors man seriously.

 

[Asif321]

Another NRR hammering for Pakistan

 

[Energy]

And where is the dew?

Under Babar's dark place.

 

[Aviator]

Even after eating 5kgs of hyderabadi biryani...these batters are unable to clear even the inner circle..

 

[Rana]

Nothing innings by Rizwan

 

[Nado_]

Don’t bother watching any more of this pathetic team , I hope New Zealand win . I don’t think il be watching anymore of these guys for a while. T20s they’re decent but that’s about it.

 

[Snowflake]

Nawaz was a solid batsman early on in his career. What has happened. He can't even hold the bat properly now.
