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

[Unbiased-Fan]

Fix match..
Australia are showing no intent whatsoever..
Australian players are playing for Their PSL contracts..
ICC should investigate this match

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

A personal run a ball fifty from both players is no good here. One or if not both need to get a move on here after drinks

As long as they score 100 without losing wicket. we need a start.

 

[JattMaula]

Again

 

[mominsaigol]

Javed miandad? Seriously? Are you for real? Man. I don't wana argue anymore. Sure. lol

Miandad was one of the cleanest strikers and one of the cleanest players of spin.

Babar has one cover drive and that leg side drive that he times to perfection. He's clueless against quality spin, his timing dissappear and he also struggles against awkward medium bounce with siraj and pandya have exposed him on, He isn't exactly the best timer. So please, don't fan boy.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[vprasanna83]

Shot Shafique. That’s much better

 

[ArabKnight]

Waqar is so embarrassing

Same with Ramiz….


“OOOOOOOOO WAAATTT A DRIIIIVEE!! BEAUUUTYYY!”

One terribly timed 4 after 5 overs.

 

[msb314]

Keep going Abdullah

 

[Amjid Javed]

Consecutive 4s, need a 20+ over here

 

[oatmeal]

Its advantage Pakistan now. Australia have been poor with dropped chances and slowing down the game

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Some of you need to relax. 167 in the last 20 overs with 8 wickets in hand is very manageable.

thats the spirit .......

 

[emranabbas]

Good shot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Fix match..
Australia are showing no intent whatsoever..

Appreciate the humour bro but these guys dont play PSL. Nice try though inshAllah next time the punchline will land.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia may be embarrassed by Pakistan if they fail to defend 367 anywhere in India. That wil be the firs time

 

[shariqnoor]

Australia missing a trick here. Stonis will be the golden arm with his cutters.

Just look at his cover up now. From timing to striking.
Sure man. HAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[NeVerMind]

Both Abdullah and Imam taking a liking to Maxwell's bowling! 3 boundaries so far

 

[Saanji]

Pakistan truly winning

 

[Amjid Javed]

As long as they score 100 without losing wicket. we need a start.

Lol yeah and req rate will be 15+ by time time that happens

 

[7sins]

Crowds only supporting Australia out of hate and all

 

[imshally81]

Another 444

This time from Imam

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Its advantage Pakistan now. Australia have been poor with dropped chances and slowing down the game

long way to go ..... say that after 200 may be.

 

[MMHS]

Aussies are finishing their spinners. Hardly two spinners bowl together for Australia

 

[topspin]

That's more like it Imam. Fine shot.

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan playing spinners well.

 

[DandyFellow]

131 out of 20 with wickets in hand. Target reached. Next target 200+ in 30 overs with wickets in hand.

 

[JattMaula]

Maxwell destroyed!

×3

 

[ArabKnight]

Imam playing a rare cover shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Maxwell should be treated like pie thrower he is

 

[King_Babar]

Crowds only supporting Australia out of hate and all

Those who wanna support Pak are threatened by police.

 

[Buffet]

15 runs in over. few more like this and Aus will be under pressure.

 

[Ahmed216]

I am surprised they haven't bowled short to Imam yet

 

[7sins]

Need couple of overs links that stonis and starc will come on soon

 

[NeVerMind]

My brother went to Bangalore once for a business trip...was treated with a lot of respect and love so not surprised with the crowd today....

 

[Firebat]

Brilliant shot from Imam. Need to keep it up.

 

[Sunzi]

Shaabaash. Good.

Don't be silly - just aim to work towards setting up a realistic last 20 over chase. Make it a T20 if possible.

 

[7sins]

Knew it starc will be back for few overs

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan can win this and then lose to afghans

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Lol yeah and req rate will be 15+ by time time that happens

You can chase 100 runs in last ten overs...... I am happy if they give a fighting chance, instead of bundling out for 240 or something.

 

[Ahmed216]

If there's heavy dew this can be done

 

[FearlessRoar]

why they can't bat like this against India?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I am surprised they haven't bowled short to Imam yet

Boundaries are small, Imam can clear.

 

[Firebat]

Intent is there as I said. Just down to talent/execution.

 

[topspin]

Same with Ramiz….


“OOOOOOOOO WAAATTT A DRIIIIVEE!! BEAUUUTYYY!”

One terribly timed 4 after 5 overs.

I'm surprised he hasn't said "celestial in style"

 

[MMHS]

With wickets in hand, scores after 20 normally triples or very close to it. On track, I would say …

 

[7sins]

They are bowling slower bowls now

 

[Asad T]

Can we do it? RRR about 8

 

[Technics 1210]

Not a single hater of Pakistan expected both openers to score half centuries, let alone Pakistan be 132 for no loss.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Knew it starc will be back for few overs

As long as he doesnt take a wicket.

 

[ex-q-zit]

I mam would be feeling embarassed struggling to score while his younger partner is striking it better

 

[7sins]

Starc bowling good here

 

[ArabKnight]

15 runs in over. few more like this and Aus will be under pressure.

It’s Maxwell. A part timer.

Australia smashes much more off Rauf.

 

[Syed1]

My brother went to Bangalore once for a business trip...was treated with a lot of respect and love so not surprised with the crowd today....

My brother was being asked to travel to Bangalore to expand his team there by his US tech employer, but the Indian immigration folks rejected his visa app as his Canadian passport had place of birth as Pakistan. One of his delegates had to go in his place.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Perfection

 

[Cover Drive Six]

why they can't bat like this against India?

Because we have quality spinners like Kuldeep and Jaddu, and a death overs specialist in Bumrah.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Can we do it? RRR about 8

Inshallah ......... we need points otherwise I wouldnt even mind losing if they get to 340-350.

 

[Firebat]

Not a single hater of Pakistan expected both openers to score half centuries, let alone Pakistan be 132 for no loss.

They're all still saying Australia will score 500 and Pakistan will not qualify for next WC.

Everyone needs to calm down and just watch the game.

 

[Amjid Javed]

when imam trys to slog. This guys a awful batsmen

 

[Asad T]

So the bouncer barrage against Imam begins. Let's see how he fares

 

[Technics 1210]

Oh how Pakistan will rue the dropped Warner catch, had that been caught, Pakistan would be chasing around 250.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

why they can't bat like this against India?

wait till it is a final.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I think Imam's time is up, he's looking to up the rate and it's not his game.

 

[7sins]

Lots of slower balls now

 

[Ummii]

Let's see how low they can go, now they are going against Pakistan chants.

 

[mominsaigol]

If Pakistan get to 200 by 30, then chasing 168 would be simple on thisnpitch

 

[Ahmed216]

Ball again sticking a bit. Need dew badly

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is going to be cat and mouse. Pakistan was 155/2 v India.

 

[boomboomcheema]

No need to give wickets to Starc even if a few cheap overs..he's most dangerous m score against the other bowlers at the other end..

 

[vprasanna83]

Who made Pakistanis so soft ?

I remember in the 90s getting bad dreams about Saeed Anwar .

 

[Amjid Javed]

You can chase 100 runs in last ten overs...... I am happy if they give a fighting chance, instead of bundling out for 240 or something.

You think with a tail that starts at 6, we are chasing 100 in last 10

 

[ArabKnight]

Perfection

That looks sexy, not gonna lie.

Rare shot. Unfortunately, didn’t get compliments from the commbox.

 

[castortroy]

Poor shot

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Wrong one gone.

 

[Ali Active]

Abdullah throws it away

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Abdullah throws it away

 

[NeVerMind]

My brother was being asked to travel to Bangalore to expand his team there by his US tech employer, but the Indian immigration folks rejected his visa app as his Canadian passport had place of birth as Pakistan. One of his delegates had to go in his place.

That's sad with politics getting in the way as people from both sides really get along, given a chance...I had similar issue as wanted to go to my friend's wedding in Agra but had a Pakistan entry stamp ony passport at the time so was told no chance I was going to get a visa

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Is stoinis a good bowler. and there is my answer.

 

[7sins]

Stoinis with his slower balls and cutters will be crucial here

 

[topspin]

That's the problem, we shpuld not make our best players in a season captain , the guy barely has any list A games, and you want him as captain?

Sarfi deserved to be captain cause he captained under 19 to victory and psl. Imad, Shaheen( When fit), haris can be captain cause they have experience.

Having babar captain was the reason he regressed slightly with that pot belly lol. Abdullah is fine as a solid batter. Learn from kohli, Kohli's captaincy was badly exposed whem dhoni retired and he had a garbo 2021 t20 Cup. As captain, it was clear Dhoni was doing the captaincy lol, no Dhoni meant a humiliating 10 wicket and 9 wicket loss to Nz and Pakistan deapite playing full strength hence he dropped put for rohit.

Captaincy is an art, let Abdullah bat as an opener lol.

The million dollar question is who should be our next captain in white ball cricket? Imad is getting on a bit even though he's the most suitable choice at present but it wouldn't be a long term appointment.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Big loss
