[BalluBalleBaaz]

That was an amazing game. Hope to see more Pak-Afg encounters in future

 

[Inswing]

Dil Dil Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

Those 2 overs arraf

 

[ManFan]

This could be our SL CT for the WC.

Only time will tell.

Another chapters with rides and rides for Pakistan cricket continues.

 

[ads101]

Congrats! Happy, was feeling so sick just a few overs ago. What a win.

 

[ak619]

THey kinda deserve this loss for having a captain like Gulbadin

As opposed to a team led by Sarfraz which deserves to win?

 

[Savak]

Afghanistan's inexperience cost them. Career best knock from Imad even though he was very lucky to survive that Lbw and Rashid's spell. Shadab showed good temprament. Wahab's knock was crucial as well.

 

[arunpsm]

Aaaaaaaarghhhh... Headless captain...

 

[ekpakistani]

Close to tears. What a sport this is.

Indeed bro.. same here

 

[topspin]

Mubarakan to everyone. I'm in tears

 

[bluevision]

I am exhausted by just watching it on TV. Felt pity for Afghanistan, their captain lost it for them.

 

[Dios]

Imad was wrongly given not out earlier...made all the difference. Congratulations Pakistan, lived to fight another day.

Yes, Imad was out plumb. Clear edge from Haris was also given not out. Pakistani fans need to send the umpires mithai.

 

[Ahmed216]

Afghan bros, we all know you are better team than Pakistan. Luck, umpiring didn't favour afghanistan at all.
Dnt worry, bangla bros you are next.you need to teach them cricket. Dnt worry much if you loose, india will beat red and blue of this Pakistan team in world Cup seminal...

Duck off

 

[jnaveen1980]

5 overs 46 runs 2 left for Rashid, 1 for Mujib. Anyone with functioning brain would have used Rashid, mujib, Shinwari, Rashid, Shinwari

 

[Kianig89]

Saved from big shame

 

[ARK Rafay]

It wont. There is a need to beef up the middle order. Malik has to come in . Yes but not at the cost of Imad

The thing is Malik would've been prefer over Imad because of batting but I don't think that's the case anymore. So Imad currently better than Malik at no. 7

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Pak Afghan contest are always thrilling. Afghans really bowled well before they eventually stopped bowling well.

 

[warcry]

this win must not overlook the fact that our openers cannot play offspin at all.
*** just practice with hafeez bowling.
and as for hafeez. the less said the better.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Congratulations to Pakistani fans on a wonderful win. World Cup credentials confirmed.

Keep crying hahahahaha

 

[light]

These pak boys stops your heart hundreds of times to win a match ... FAINT OF HEART must have had couple of heart attacks by now

 

[Thulsa]

Let’s be honest, Pakistan didn’t win this as much as Afghanistan lost it.

 

[ARK Rafay]

How Naib bowled 10 overs in the presence of Hamid Hasan?! Hamid only bowled 2 overs.

 

[mrtaim3]

This is what you call a fluke

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Yes, Imad was out plumb. Clear edge from Haris was also given not out. Pakistani fans need to send the umpires mithai.

Yeah like India did for Tendu DRS in the semis.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wahab's blows were the key i must say. He didn't take time to swing from the hip. Didn't bother missing a ball or two. But ones that he connected were solid.

 

[shaz619]

Phew what a game, Afghanistan fought hard but credit to Pakistan for a very gritty win.

Condolences to Indians

 

[mrtaim3]

How Naib bowled 10 overs in the presence of Hamid Hasan?! Hamid only bowled 2 overs.

He got injured

 

[UP]

Shadab getting out was the turning point in the end.

 

[Pakpak]

How Naib bowled 10 overs in the presence of Hamid Hasan?! Hamid only bowled 2 overs.

He got injured literally at the start of the chase

 

[ekpakistani]

Keep crying hahahahaha

Indeed brother let him cry that’s all he can do

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Let’s be honest, Pakistan didn’t win this as much as Afghanistan lost it.

Who cares, it's in the win column.

 

[Green Patriot]

Bachat hogai hamari

 

[szundercover]

What a pathetic performance. All the luck in the world and still huffing and puffing. This is embarrassing beyond measure.

India almost lost to Afghanistan and they are riding on luck also.

 

[sweep_shot]

Man of the Match is surely Gulbadin. LMAO.

 

[kingusama92]

Incredible match.

That's about as good as it gets from an entertainment perspective.

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol, what a slap on the face from pakistan on their haters as a nation and cricket team. From the plane flying over the ground to Afghani crowd attack Pakistan has given a befitting reply.

 

[Savak]

Imad taking advantage of Gulbuddin was the difference. Bad decision to bowl the pacer when Pakistan were all at sea against the spinners

 

[Jeetlodil]

Wahab saved the day for Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

The thing is Malik would've been prefer over Imad because of batting but I don't think that's the case anymore. So Imad currently better than Malik at no. 7

Majority of Imad's runs came against Gulbadin. One of the worst passenger bowler you can see. He was struggling against spinners. All of them. Seasoned team won't let him get away.

 

[szundercover]

Wahab's blows were the key i must say. He didn't take time to swing from the hip. Didn't bother missing a ball or two. But ones that he connected were solid.

very well said bro.

 

[Khurrams22]

Switch over to NZ vs Aus

 

[chinaman00]

Happy to see Afghanistan go back to their country without any wins. The most moronic board & team.

 

[ads101]

Given to Imad, deserved, what an innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD will add another spinner to their side i suppose given how majority of BD players couldn't handle spin.

 

[Hawkeye]

Good innings today from Imad and Wahab, Imad finally delivering at least once - I'm happy.

 

[Titan24]

I will rate Imad’s innings right up there with knocks of other all rounders of Pak like Afridi, Razzaq, Wasim and even Imran while chasing when it was turning that much

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Happy to see Afghanistan go back to their country without any wins. The most moronic board & team.

Absolutely, so happy we downed these arrogant and thankless afghanis.

 

[irfan]

Pakistan winning ugly but that's what you have to do sometimes in a tournament, England take heed.

 

[Bewal Express]

Brilliant game. Imad deserves credit for his innings and the Afghans were also excellent.
