Pakistan down England in thrilling World Cup encounter to end 11-match losing streak

[PennOne]

Imad needs to come in for Asif

lol

Imad needs to come in for Shoaib Malik

 

[Afhan Ali]

England playing well here
They have any batting power to turn it around

 

[CricFan2012]

By talking like this your fasting will be invalid. Ask for forgiveness bro

Sorry bro, but I said it so Allah makes Pakistan win.

We need this win badly to make up for the Windies lost

 

[AdamM97]

We’re ending the losing streak today bois.

 

[topspin]

lol

Imad needs to come in for Shoaib Malik

Agreed

 

[usmankhanmlg]

Not enough fielders in the ring. Sarfaraz giving easy singles and letting a partnership form. We need to suffocate these guys right now instead of giving them singles.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Hafeez doing really well here.

 

[imshally81]

Oh no... I thought it was a catch

 

[ads101]

great fielding by shadab

 

[watchman99]

Spinners should choke England into rash strokes and free wicket donations...

Buggers couldn't read their own pitch...lol

 

[Afhan Ali]

Stokes is looking in great touch

 

[Markhor]

We’re ending the losing streak today bois.

Only when we get Buttler out early then I can breathe easy.

 

[Plumb]

lol

Imad needs to come in for Shoaib Malik

Thanks for fixing

 

[topspin]

Run rate required now is 7.96.

 

[zn426]

Run rate is creeping towards 8 and it's only 21 overs in. This is where Pakistan can take control of the match and drive England out. They will try to hit out at some point to break the pressure.

 

[Chokli]

lol

Imad needs to come in for Shoaib Malik

Not when Malik can provide spin and we're lacking in the spin department.

Morgan read it perfectly yesterday. He knew.

 

[Titan24]

lol

Imad needs to come in for Shoaib Malik

Imad is really struggling against shot ball, I guess most of his dismissals in last month or so have been against short ball.

 

[AdamM97]

Only when we get Buttler out early then I can breathe easy.

I’d worry more about Stokes tbh. Buttler got a lot of unnecesaary hype from that 100 of 50 against Pakistan.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Ben Chokes is outttt

 

[hur rizvi]

Stokes is going to go after Malik and hafeez it seems

 

[JibranAnsari]

Stokes goes too.

 

[Plumb]

Goneeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Malik you beauty

 

[Nado_]

Beautiful!!!!

 

[szundercover]

Ben chokes gone..

 

[hussain.r97]

Huge wicket!!!

 

[Chokli]

Imad can do what Asif did today.


Asif Ali isn't going to score 50(34) every match

 

[hur rizvi]

Cheetah

 

[Markhor]

Seniors Zindabad !

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good catch by captain.

 

[Plumb]

Awesome catch Sarfiiii Haters gonna hate

 

[Red Devil]

Malikkkkkkkkk yasss

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan has to take a wicket right now and bring Butler in. Because if he comes in late, he will have to swing from first ball and he is really good at that. Right now the pressure would be too much for him to handle.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

5th bowler is doing it for us. yessss

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wow. Wow. Wow

Should bowl 10 overs both from Hafezz and Malik

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaba boys

 

[ads101]

nice Malik. Proving me wrong, might not do the job with the bat, but he's doing it with the ball instead .

 

[hussain.r97]

Buttler in early.

 

[Nado_]

Excellent catch M.A

 

[imshally81]

Half job done..

 

[szundercover]

Needs butlers wicket quickly and we Will win easily.

Your wish granted

 

[AdamM97]

Yeeesss

 

[topspin]

Get innnnnnnnnn

 

[Usman Chadda]

Showtime.

Get Buttler, and that's the win. Proud of the team today.

 

[Mean&Green]

Now this is where Pakistan’s unpredictably comes in this is our game to lose but we can still make England win it easily

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

as you wished

 

[Khanusman1]

Come on we got this inshallah

 

[Fahdi]

:

The in form Stokes has been dismissed.

Just need to take care of Butler now.

 

[szundercover]

Wow. Wow. Wow

Should bowl 10 overs both from Hafezz and Malik

will it work against india and Bangladesh?

There you go mate

 

[Shafi]

Wow Malik got Stokes. Get Butlar quick and we will get this match.

 

[hur rizvi]

Butler the most dangerous batsman in world cricket yes he is more dangerous than kohli

 

[zn426]

Pakistan starting to engineer a classic here. Smart captaincy by Sarfraz to keep the spin choke on. This would be a huge, massive, come back win after that humiliation at the hands of the West Indies.

Buttler and Root are the only ones standing in the way of a massive loss.

 

[imshally81]

Excellent catch M.A

Sarfaraz u beauty...

 

[topspin]

Bookies update:

Pakistan's chance of winning is now 80%

 

[Suleiman]

Shobby done it

Grim Reaper Butler is here

 

[Markhor]

This is it - get this man out and the game is done.

 

[JellyBro]

reserves his spot for the next game.
Looking at the pitches though i think spin will decide this world cup

 

[ads101]

England's best bat in.

 

[hussain.r97]

Who do you replace Hasan Ali with ? If you play Shaheen instead then you've got three left armers and nobody providing right arm angle.

Could play Hasnain but he's unproven kid.

Hasnain. Looked good in the warmup, good pace, good short ball, gets some movement too. Picking Shaheen would give Pakistan a lack of variety.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Need buttler wicket

 

[usmankhanmlg]

Massive moment in this game now as Buttler comes in.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Malik bowling like Jadhav

 

[Chokli]

reserves his spot for the next game.
Looking at the pitches though i think spin will decide this world cup

Which is why we can't carry Asif Ali

 

[Nado_]

Bring shadab in for the kill now

 

[Titan24]

Haffez and Malik are excellent for 5th option through out the world cup

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is working perfectly for Pakistan, it means their part time bowlers can't be targeted because these are the two key batsmen at the wicket.

 

[Amirforpresident]

So how are we going to take Butler's wicket? With Shadab or Wahab maybe?

 

[Afhan Ali]

It is pak vs Buttler

 

[Fahdi]

Shadab saves us at least 5-6 runs every match with his fielding.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Both got left handers, let's see if they can get a righty as well.

 

[mon858]

this is starting to get too easy, at least have a contest. Azhar Mahmood was right, only 10 balls we need for 10 wickets. so much for their 500

 

[AdamM97]

Shadab was missed badly in the series against England.

Great bowler and even a better fielder.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Right handers in. Specially Buttler. Time to bring Shadab in to bowl?

 

[zn426]

Massive moment in this game now as Buttler comes in.

Send him back cheaply and Pakistan will win. As long as he's in the game with Root they have a chance.

 

[hussain.r97]

One more over from Hafeez, then bring on Shadab.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Look at kaptaaaannnn
