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]

Henry has been the best

I think its bumrah. He has the wickets at a low avg and strike rate in this WC.

 

[Aviator]

Chasing 370... This is criminal... They are playing lot of dots

 

[Ali Active]

dots

 

[imshally81]

Hazelwood seems dangerous

 

[emranabbas]

We short by 8 runs need to make up for it this over

 

[shah_1]

Maiden

 

[angrypathan]

Far out the panic in this thread when 2 consecutive dots are played. They’re going fine. Australia had less at this stage

 

[castortroy]

You can't just allow Hazelwood to bowl in the channel.

You have to charge him

 

[IAJ]

Maiden over

 

[Ali Active]

maiden is criminal here

 

[ex-q-zit]

Forget 6 in PP Abdullah dishing out a maiden over to rub salt on injury.

 

[7sins]

Awful over by Abdullah put the pressure back on pakistan

 

[boomboomcheema]

Maiden

 

[Ahmed216]

Abdullah is playing with hands tied together and so close to the body. Where will the power come from?

 

[msb314]

Maiden over

 

[Devadwal]

33 out of 40 runs come from boundary and extra. Where is strike rotation.

 

[imshally81]

Cummins on

 

[JattMaula]

Hazlewood has found his length.

 

[7sins]

Need to attack Cummins here Maxwell will come soon

 

[Ali Active]

abdullah needs to be brave

 

[boomboomcheema]

Where are the Sixes ?

 

[amirm]

Lol, rotate the strike at least

 

[viking2559]

Pathetic from Abdullah.
10 off 18 while chasing 368

 

[amirm]

Small boundary, about 56m. And they can’t hit sixes

 

[angrypathan]

Just rotating strike alone should disturb the bowlers’ lines with the left right combo

 

[deltexas]

Poor batting this by pak. They need to go hammer and tongs in the pp. Atleast 8 or 9 runs per over.. small outfield good pitch. Dont see pak even getting anywhere closer to 365

 

[emranabbas]

Where are the Sixes ?

Where are the 4's??

 

[7sins]

Wth Abdullah doing dude move on or get out

 

[castortroy]

India are so lucky to have a bowler like bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seam movement is there

 

[Ahmed216]

Pathetic batting from Abdullah

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan on fire

 

[angrypathan]

Abdullah looks shaky here

 

[viking2559]

Oh man he is just playing dot after dot
What's wrong with him

 

[shah_1]

Too slow from Abdullah

 

[Aviator]

This abdullah is simply not good enough... One fluke century and he secured his spot for rest of the world cup... He is creating pressure on himself and the other opener.

 

[emranabbas]

1 run in last 2 overs

 

[globetrotter]

Where are the Sixes ?

They display six hitting skill if only they reach final

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Abdullah struggling here

 

[Ahmed216]

Much better

 

[7sins]

India are so lucky to have a bowler like bumrah

Good on them bring that when it will be india match let's just focus on this one

 

[LegendAli]

Wth Abdullah doing dude move on or get out

He did the same thing against Lanka 10 days ago and what happend?

Show some respect.

 

[angrypathan]

Shot

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Australia played a lot of dots too

 

[imshally81]

Finally a boundary

 

[Asif321]

What a slap from shafique

 

[Ahmed216]

Dew has never been a factor in Bengaluru as far i know

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Australia hit 29 x4s and 19 x6s ... If Pak to chase this down then need to come closer or pass that no. of boundaries... 4s they can do but who will hit 20 x6s lol

 

[Devadwal]

Finally agression

 

[shah_1]

Four

 

[aukhan]

shot shafiq.

 

[IAJ]

That’s more like it Abdullah

 

[boomboomcheema]

What's the use. Playing dots then a boundary. Overall just 5-6 runs off the over..

 

[Ali Active]

abdullah could have done it 7 balls aho instead he let him bowl there

 

[imshally81]

6 runs in Cummins over

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pakistan did well to restrict them under 370. It looked 400+ one stage Warner and Marsh batting.

It’s a great stadium to bat. Pakistan need to get 100 first 10 if you ask me.

 

[Markhor]

Finally a charge. Don't just let the bowler sit on a length.

 

[Asif321]

Seems Pakistan will chase this easily

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia hit 29 x4s and 19 x6s ... If Pak to chase this down then need to come closer or pass that no. of boundaries... 4s they can do but who will hit 20 x6s lol

Pakistan is not exactly a team known for singles/twos as well. They rely on fours.

 

[Ali T]

If Abdullah's not hitting the boundaries, he needs to look to rotate strike, especially when Imam is looking like he's timing the ball well.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Need to least get 100 before 13 overs now. Need a solid start.

 

[oatmeal]

They need to attack, cant take your foot off the accelerator

 

[boomboomcheema]

Good start while chasing a target of 285.

 

[emranabbas]

What are these lot waiting for? Nepal?

 

[imshally81]

Just play careful against Hazelwood

 

[Devadwal]

 

[7sins]

Abdullah clearly atrugglinga gains Hazelwood this is his ipl team home ground

 

[vprasanna83]

I can’t forget how Anwar and Sohail butchered our attack back in 1996 at Bangalore . That was pre T 20 era .

 

[msb314]

Cmon guys we need to do better

 

[angrypathan]

Hazlewood is an elite bowler

 

[7sins]

2 terrible overs played mostly by Abdullah against hazlewood

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Shafique under pressure playing too many dot balls to Hazlewood...

 

[RiyazAsim]

Wicket coming

 

[vprasanna83]

Folks - be proactive ! Use you feet , go over the infield . You need to be way ahead of the RR in the first 10 overs !

 

[globetrotter]

Pak on Tuk-Tuk mode

 

[King_Babar]

The problem with Pakistani batters is they feel pretty relaxed after hitting a boundary and think job is done for the over. But cricket has changed completely and other modern day batters go ruthless against opponents.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Abdullah 16 in 24 balls chasing almost 370..Can you believe it.

 

[Aviator]

Useless batsman this shafique is... If you can't bat on a flat deck like this, where esle?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Chasing 368 and here is Abdullah going at 16 runs off 24 balls like it's a 268 chase. Never change Pakistan.
