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

First time in World Cup history Pakistan has played same XI four games in a row
 
Win the match and try to find “positives” seems to be the plan at the moment.
 
Fakhar is doing what captain and coach have asked him to do.

I don’t think they have ever asked him to bat at a SR of 40. His role has always been to go after the bowling.
 
Imam is such a classy batsman. That was a beautiful shot through covers.
 
How the hell has Mehidy bowled 4 overs for 6 runs!!! It’s like they’re facing Shane Warne on a day 5 test pitch out there. FGS!!!
 
cowards Atleast don't make it this obvious. If there ever was proof of lack of intent and selfishness here it is.
 
Pak needs 320+ just to win this match. Looks a flat pitch so far, without assistance even for the spinners.
 
Mehidy didn't even know he's such a good bowler until Zaman struggled to score against him today
 
Poor guys have a settled squad only to see New Zealand just sneak in.. must be painful

This team doesn't deserve to go semi regardless what people think. Lost miserably against WI, lucky win against Afghanistan and now we will loose to Bangladesh.
 
Fakhar OUT

Should be thrown out of the team, bring back Sharjeel.
 
Disgraceful by Fakhar. What a horrendous tournament for him!
 
Why would any team fight to get Pakistan in semis when they are not willing to fight for it themselves. Go down fighting rather than this.
 
Couldn't get any better.

They're going for a simple win but they'll get another lost tick!
 
Nice joke. Tell us more.

The legend of Sharjeel grows bigger and bigger with each month. He was good, but you’d think he was Warner, Roy, Bairstow and Finch rolled into one the way our fans rave about him. He had problems with lateral movement and he was unfit. There is a good chance he would have been found out.
 
Seems like the batters are double-minded.

Management have asked them to strictly play normally and win the game, no need to go for extravagant shots.

But they're just not there mentally.

Calm down folks, the media, awaam, PPers will abuse you, tons of abuse, but focus on winning the game. Not scoring 400/500.
 
Wow. Out to a terrible ball, wasting 5 overs in the process.
 
Fakhar 13 (31) waste fo 5 overs right there. Middled ! ball. Enough said.
 
“You will see a different Fakhar in the World Cup” - Fakhar

:moyo2
 
One of the worst looking innings. Fakhar should be dropped and never seen again
 
I don't know what's more laughable.

Fakhar's pedestrian innings or fans here actually wanting us to attempt a 500 total when we struggle to score that even combining two innings of a Test.
 
Experts/Commentators keep calling Fakhar......the 'dangerous' Fakhar Zaman......danger for who exactly? Pakistan?

The least skilled opener playing international limited overs cricket currently!
 
People expecting pak to win by 311 runs. It will be miracle if they cross 311 with this start
 
Fakhar is so overhyped . Some even marked him as future captain :)))
Total crap player he lost many games in this WC for Pakistan with his useless batting
 
Our management is so thick!!!! They knew this guy can't play still persisting with him.
 
Want to score 500+ open with imam SR 76 & out of form Fakhar , keep Asif on bench & play 5 bowlers plus Hafeez 😂😂 frankly speaking we really are planning to bowl 50 overs & avoid defeat
