Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 43, World Cup | 5th July, 2019 | Lords's | Pakistan innings

[Usman Chadda]

Both Babar and Imam once again threw their wickets away. This is getting ridiculous and frustrating now. How much irresponsibility can a nation take man?! How is there NO accountability time and again for this disease?!

 

[Leeon1994]

Why is he in the team then?

Because he was the captain when we won the last tournament

 

[AdamM97]

Watching Haris play gives me happiness. What a player.

 

[Ahmed216]

Malik Hafeez and Sarfraz. Waiting for the day i dont see these 3 names in our line up

 

[Babbar]

Pakistan has batted well. Will score around 300-310 and win this match, that will take them to 5th. This is a professional performance against a team like BD.

Overall a very good performance. Not sure why Pakistani fans are criticising Imam and Babar for playing match winning innings, just because they could not break the world record of 481 runs in an inning by say 100 runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mustafiz has been very expensive today. Can he finish off well?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

what a disappointment from our batsmen ..... really.

 

[Leeon1994]

Awkward moment when Haris Sohail doesn't play a selfish innings and has chances to be dropped from the next squad.

 

[rhony]

Last game?

He will be one of the scale goats.

 

[Sunzi]

Throwing away a good start.

 

[sweep_shot]

Haris is gone! Big wicket.

Good job, BD.

 

[Fazzy321]

Haris gone

 

[light]

Platform has been set, doesn't matter if you get all out.go for the shots!!! Believe God damet

They could lose the match here by not getting 340...

 

[Hasan123]

Lol we may not even get 300. Bangladesh have a chance of winning from there.

 

[Lovelydayall]

Haris can only play proper ground shots.

 

[hass]

Ramiz Raja is contradicting himself hard on commentary at the moment. It’s actually quite frustrating because after the England-NZ game he had a completely different tone in Urdu. Looking like a real bum kisser this bloke.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Atleast Haris shown some intent

 

[AdamM97]

Platform has been set, doesn't matter if you get all out.go for the shots!!! Believe God damet

Our players will choose the defensive approach no matter what.

 

[Leeon1994]

Pakistan explaining why they didn't make it to semis by their batting in the second half.

 

[chuck]

Even 300 looking hard work now.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Agree it or not, our team depends upon Babar, Imam and Haris at thr moment. Rest of the batsmen are passengers.

 

[Asif321]

Can we get 300

 

[JellyBro]

lol and there was the "intent" that everyone was asking for.
But of course the blame still goes to Imam right? :rolleyes

 

[Green Patriot]

So now we are not even getting 300?
And people wanted them to accelerate from the start to get 500.This is what happens when we try to go big.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like we will not even play full 50 overs even against BD. What a poor batting line up.

 

[Asif321]

36 balls
44 runs for 300

 

[AdamM97]

Can’t wait for Sarfraz to score a magnificent 20 off 25 now.....

 

[angeldsoul]

If pak had no intention of going for the runs atleast sarfraz shouldn't be running mouth before match about 500 lol

Just say we will try and win. And if it was plan to go all out and players weren't listening why the hell wasnt he swearing at players from dressing room to speed up. If I was captain I would have them flogged!!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan will probably hope to reach 300 at least (after the start they got).

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like we will not even play full 50 overs even against BD. What a poor batting line up.

Bro was beginning to enjoy your optimism in the Under-19 thread.

Please don't do this

 

[jnaveen1980]

If the total is less than 300, BD will hunt it down.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Atleast Haris shown some intent

What is the use of intent when you get all out under 150. Would have embarrassing thing. Team depends upon Babar and Imam heavily.

 

[Shafi]

BD will chase it by 45 overs!!!! Pathetic batting on a flat pitch

 

[ekpakistani]

Can’t wait for Sarfraz to score a magnificent 20 off 25 now.....

Yeah... If we lucky.. Else 20 off 45

 

[srh]

team struggling to score 300 now but at least score personal 100

 

[angeldsoul]

I have money on pak to win today but I hope they lose and lose badly
They deserve it

 

[chuck]

Wow Sarfi came out to bat, would love to see him to go for 500 as he promised.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sarfraz injured

 

[sweep_shot]

Sarfraz got hit. He seems injured.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poor Sarfi getting hit by players and fans.

 

[Mr.Q]

That must have hurt.

 

[Asif321]

That hurts
Looks like Sarfraz won’t keep

 

[Rayyman]

BD will chase it by 45 overs!!!! Pathetic batting on a flat pitch

Pakistan will have to bowl really well here. Need early wickets.

Let's hope Wahab doesn't have a spray-gun day.

Shadab also might be taken apart today.

 

[Mainul]

BD has come back strongly

 

[chuck]

Sarfraz injured

Was it intentional?

 

[angeldsoul]

Good please retire

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Well that shot should have been played in the WC opener.

 

[CricLegend]

wat if pakistan make 325 and Bag declare at 0 (0.1)

Do pak go thru?

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar will keep

 

[Mr.Q]

Poor Sarfi getting hit by players and fans.

Yeah man. People find ways to bash him for every issue with Pakistan cricket.

 

[Leeon1994]

Ouch Sarfaraz, That must have hurt badly.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Wow Sarfi came out to bat, would love to see him to go for 500 as he promised.

He didn’t promise to go for 500 lol. He said they would try.

 

[Rizie]

cash it out

 

[chuck]

That hurts
Looks like Sarfraz won’t keep

Can't bat, Can't keep, Can't captain - again, why is he in the side?

 

[rhony]

Agree it or not, our team depends upon Babar, Imam and Haris at thr moment. Rest of the batsmen are passengers.

That's the core batting lineup. Haris should focus on fitness and Imam his strike rate. Babar will go to another level. Sharjeel should be another opener. That's a strong top 4

 

[ekpakistani]

That looks bad.. He should go.... Let wahab come

 

[sweep_shot]

BD did well in the past few overs. They got the big wicket of Haris.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Poor Sarfaraz. Even luck is against him

 

[Mehndi155]

Why the hell hafeez came in before haris clueless management

 

[AdamM97]

It had to be Sarfraz that stopped a four...

 

[Leeon1994]

No matter how bad he is I don't think we all should make fun of a player getting injured.

 

[Green Patriot]

Sarfaraz dont get injured.
We dont have a proper wicketkeeper.

 

[sweep_shot]

Will Sarfraz be able to keep? Does Pakistan have a part-time keeper?

 

[chuck]

He didn’t promise to go for 500 lol. He said they would try.

Yes, Let's see him try to go for that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He should walk out. Imad got a wicket there. Atleast Pat cummins broke the back of India by hurting Dhawan. Imad has hurt his own skipper

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

ooohhh...painful one for sarfie...if he cant w-keep...who is the reserve keeper...

 

[AdamM97]

Looks like a broken elbow. Maybe i’m assuming too much but it doesn’t look good.

 

[JellyBro]

what a blow. Such an undignifying end to his career. araz

 

[RehanG]

Sarfraz lol...

 

[light]

That hit him very hard. Swelled up so much. Who is the backup keeper?

 

[RehanG]

ooohhh...painful one for sarfie...if he cant w-keep...who is the reserve keeper...

i guess Hassan Ali...... or Asif Ali

 

[Mr.Q]

Is Imad a human? Very poor.

 

[Asif321]

Imad killing kaptaan

 

[AdamM97]

That hit him very hard. Swelled up so much. Who is the backup keeper?

No one.

We didn’t choose Rizwan and we sent Abid Ali home.

 

[Mueez]

That hit him very hard. Swelled up so much. Who is the backup keeper?

Babar?

 

[aukhan]

That hit him very hard. Swelled up so much. Who is the backup keeper?

No backup keeper. Sarfarz bhai ko extra pressure feel hota hai backup keeper Rizwan se.

 

[Asif321]

Wow Sarfraz is strong

 

[Lovelydayall]

Sarfraz over-weight has hampered his mobility to get out of the way of a shot hit for four. His reflexes are poor.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD has two keepers (Mushfiq and Liton). If one gets injured, other can keep.
