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

[Swashbuckler]

Why same team if they want to score 500?

 

[BreadPakoda]

Indian "experts" showing the 32 teeth. If ever i wished a miracle to take place and Pakistan winning by 312 runs, it is today.
I dont bloody care about the world. Just want to see their faces.

Aww..good luck!

 

[B_Positive]

All india hearts must be pumping hard seeing luck with pakistan

 

[gazza619]

Why same team if they want to score 500?

Because they have already made up their mind not to score 500 it seems

 

[Shaddy86]

Really disappointed with Asif Ali not being selected. If ever you needed a hitter like him, today is the day. What a disappointment.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

All india hearts must be pumping hard seeing luck with pakistan

How did you know?!

 

[Zeshan547]

they are playing imam and want to score 500, do they really think we the fans are that dumb?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Didn't Asif Ali make a lot of fast runs against England just the series before world cup?

 

[BreadPakoda]

So Imam will hold one end? And Fakhar will go beserk?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

You need to target 150 runs of 10 overs from Mashrafee

 

[BalluBalleBaaz]

500 incoming!

 

[soulhunter]

Imam will make 70 runs from 100 balls and you guys will like it. Pa*rchi would be desperate to push his avg up in the world cup.

 

[Etherealistic]

The most interesting match of the CWC19.

 

[Asif321]

they are playing imam and want to score 500, do they really think we the fans are that dumb?

They don’t want scoring 500
It’s just a statement
Just a win is needed . If Pakistan go for 400 they will lose

 

[ILcricket]

These should be the small targets:

10 ovs - 73-0
20 ovs - 151-0
30 ovs - 232 -1
40 ovs - 320 - 2
50 ovs - 448 -4

Now for bowling them for under 100, keep amir and shaheen at both ends for back to back 10 ovs each. And expect them to get fifers. If not use hasnain too.

lol . very optimistic of you .
I hope a exciting match ahead .

 

[Ram Shekhar]

You need to target 150 runs of 10 overs from Mashrafee

Masrafe is a clever man. He will bowl 2, get smacked for 20 runs and never return again to bowl

 

[BreadPakoda]

Imam shouldn't have been playing this game. It's not his natural game and in case he plays out a few dots he will get a lot of bashing. Inzi has set his nephew up for a failure.

I dont bloody care about the world. Just want to see their faces.

I understand your emotions....i wish our media had some more class and subtelity.....really pathetic from our indian medai

 

[Madplayer]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan to make mockery of all previous batting records Fakhar with a 30 balls century to start with

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Really disappointed with Asif Ali not being selected. If ever you needed a hitter like him, today is the day. What a disappointment.

Exactly. We have a 0.25% chance so why not try anyway.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

They don’t want scoring 500
It’s just a statement
Just a win is needed . If Pakistan go for 400 they will lose

What is the point of just winning? Just go berserk and if you lose in the process, it's fine

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

Very much possible if you're looking for quick runs.. it can wither be 100/1 or 55/3 you never know

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Masrafe is a clever man. He will bowl 2, get smacked for 20 runs and never return again to bowl

This is how he has been getting away over the years

 

[Khanusman1]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

Laxman is not aware of the abundance of talent we possess

 

[PCTPost2019]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

Looking at the odds, pak are heavy favourites to win.
I actually don't understand how people are saying that bd will easily win. Like how can you make such a claim?
It's equivalent to me saying that pak are better than ind. It's not the truth so people should accept it.

 

[Hasan123]

New Zealand beating Ireland by 290 runs in 2008. That is the biggest defeat in ODI history. This was in 2008. So no team had ever won by 300 runs.

Give it up guys.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

]if you heard the whole interview.. ....Domenic Cork who was also standing with VVS and asked the same questionsaid 'i expect BD to win easily...just because pak are under pressure to win big''.....quit bagging our guys only....get a wider view...cheers

 

[ARK Rafay]

They aren't going for 500 or 400+ score otherwise they would've had one or two changes.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Need 150 off first 10. Its all about intent

 

[m.shah]

Pak will play it normally by just looking at the team selection. Let's just hope for a good match.

 

[ARK Rafay]

They went with same line up and gave a clear indication they'll play normal cricket.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Laxman saying He expects Pakistan to be 55-3 and BD winning it easily.

It is quite ok to have views which don't favor your team.

 

[QalandarFan]

First 3/4 overs will reveal weather they are serious about going all out.

 

[PCTPost2019]

It is quite ok to have views which don't favor your team.

Being delusional isn't good either.

 

[ARK Rafay]

With Imam in the XI they can't be serious

 

[QalandarFan]

Need 150 off first 10. Its all about intent

Yes with Fakhar scoring 140 of those and bhatija ji “seeing off the new ball”

 

[Aman]

This is going to be fun, either Pakistan score big or they fall over like a pack of cards for 50.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Being delusional isn't good either.

Who is delusional? Laxman? It is quite possible to have Pakistan at 55/3..

 

[QalandarFan]

With Imam in the XI they can't be serious

Hey Imam scored a 150 off 130 in England this is another flat pitch pitch you never know. Wait till the first 3 overs at least.

 

[Leeon1994]

Pakistan doesn't stop entertaining the world even when they are practically out of the WC

 

[topspin]

Really disappointed with Asif Ali not being selected. If ever you needed a hitter like him, today is the day. What a disappointment.

Feel the same. This goes to show Inzy is behind selecting the playing XI, as I've always suspected from the beginning.

 

[PCTPost2019]

Who is delusional? Laxman? It is quite possible to have Pakistan at 55/3..

The match is about to begin in 3 mins, we'll see who falters.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Who is delusional? Laxman? It is quite possible to have Pakistan at 55/3..

Laxman is supporting Bangladesh, good to see

 

[Green Patriot]

Pakistan isnt going for the 311 run win.Its evident by Sarfaraz's way of response and Wahab's interview yesterday where he was talking about how to proceed in a 'dead rubber'.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hey Imam scored a 150 off 130 in England this is another flat pitch pitch you never know. Wait till the first 3 overs at least.

Yea that was SR of 115. If he plays like that, all other players have to score at a SR of over 200 if they're eyeing for 500

 

[PCTPost2019]

Laxman is supporting Bangladesh, good to see

He'll support any team over pak tbh.

 

[mon858]

If there was ever a game to play asif ali this was it. We needed a fluke innings and they kept on imam. Seriously. Also should have played hasan ali instead of Shaheen.

 

[Khanusman1]

I wonder how the atmosphere is. Are there more Pakistanis than Bengalis

 

[Green Patriot]

Our national anthem seems so short after the Bangladeshi one

 

[Azzurri]

Pakistan's national anthem is amazing. The tune is so magical

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan looks super pumped up

 

[gazza619]

We need a stick cricket innings

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Which do you think is harder
A -Pak getting 400
B -pak rolling BD for < 84 in the same match
I'd go for B...

 

[Madplayer]

Imam coming in to bat )

 

[Khanusman1]

Brother your boys will be finished

 

[MRSN]

Lol. Really pathetic captaincy. At least try to strengthen batting line up and play more batsmen to give yourself a chance.

 

[ARK Rafay]

There we go then 500 or 50

 

[QalandarFan]

If there was ever a game to play asif ali this was it. We needed a fluke innings and they kept on imam. Seriously. Also should have played hasan ali instead of Shaheen.

Hasan Ali would single handedly lose us the match with his 0/85 in 8 overs.

 

[Green Patriot]

Which do you think is harder
A -Pak getting 400
B -pak rolling BD for < 84 in the same match
I'd go for B...

Definitely B even though A is a monumental task itself.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Rameez Raja calling Bangladesh Afghanistan.

Says Mehdi is such a good bowler and his 60+ averages throws up on screen. Lol

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Come on Zaman! Supporting Pakistan today!

 

[QalandarFan]

We need a stick cricket innings

Haha yeah a couple of perfect overs up front are needed!

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam all set to make 201(66).

 

[MSaad1237]

LOOOL Dot balls..Trolling us all

 

[gazza619]

3 dots!

 

[ARK Rafay]

If they had any doubts it's sensible they went to play the normal cricket.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Raja bhai always gets his facts wrong

 

[pak4life]

Watching Imaam hit out will be fun. The guy has no shots.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan,

Jaaaayi aur udaaaa do

 

[On_the_up]

Test match going on.

 

[MRSN]

Imam coming in to bat )

Sarfraz could not even get combination right for this game. This guy proved today why he should br sacked. Common sense isn't too common for him

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Cowards are blocking

 

[QalandarFan]

Yeah they don’t give a crap about qualifying.

 

[Mehndi155]

Where is pitch?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I like the red jersey, would have suited Taskin as he has muscles

 

[Zeshan547]

electric start by fakhar, on serious note pitch looks a belter

 

[Aman]

499 needed off 49 overs.

Intent.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Fakhar is such an avg player of spin
