Pakistan v Ireland | 2015 World Cup | Group B | Match 42 | 15th March, 2015 | Adelaide | Ireland Inn

[Azlan Khan]

A knockout before the knockouts.

It comes down to the last match of the Group Stage. Both teams have to win to go through. It's a do or die match for Pakistan as well as for Ireland.

Who will go on and who will go home? An exciting match awaits us at Adelaide.

Toss in 20 minutes. First ball in 50!

totay totay ker dian gaaa!!!!

 

[Canistani Hero]

Have a feeling it will be a bit of an anti-climax. Ireland are very charged up for this game so it should be interesting but I'm backing Pakistan to nick a comfortable win

dont drink coke with it. my uncle got diabetes eating pop corn and drinking coke at the same time which he used to do.

This is not Brisbane or Auckland pitch so our pacers will not be as effective. Who ever bats better will have the chance. It is time our batting stands on its own. Looking at one of the youngster to score a big one.

No matter what the pitch is, if you have good quality bowlers, they will make the most of it.

Rahat get swing even in the desert of UAE so let's hope he bowl the way he bowls in UAE

First 200+ opening partnership of the tournament between Shehzad and Sarfraz.

[cricfan967]

Misbah has got to have the worst toss win-loss ratio of all time right?

 

[yadunoe]

if pak win toss must bat first if we do half the match is in the bag we will post 300 and i dont think irish can chase it against the 3 headed monster

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ireland will put up a fight at some stage .

Pakistan to win in style , good margin or last ball

 

[iafzal]

Yes but if we expect bowling performance of SAF game then we will be disappointed as the pitch will not assist as much. Need our batting to stand up. It has been quite poor, not a single hundred and even associates have hundreds with exception of AFG.

Why do you guys make such statements? Hate you all.

#corneredtigers usually works like a charm.

Match point boyses!
See ya later!

ok guys Ireland win the toss and elected to bat first

 

[habibi hayya]

Dam it....lost toss

 

[Scorpion]

Ireland won the toss and batting first.

 

[Gollum]

Pakistan should consider this game as a knock out game just like the rest of the matches remaining. Their destiny is in their own hands.

 

[iafzal]

Pitch looks like phata

 

[cricfan967]

Misbah's toss record continues..

[Aloo Chaat]

Ireland batting first. Curtains. Tissue kider hai

 

[cricfan967]

No Younus and no Irfan, Yasir in for Irfan?

[pakistanisgreat]

irlend batting first..YK and irfan out

 

[Bullet Drive]

Chasing here is difficult. We gotta get em out quickly.

Adil or Yasir? Who is playing?

 

[hamzie]

nooooooooooooo younis khan woooooooooooooooooo

 

[DRS]

We lost the toss. Despondency is dripping from Misbah's face.

All of you thinking this way have been negative for too long.

 

[iafzal]

IRL knows our weakness and hence batting first. Under the lights our bowling will be a challenge for them too

 

[habibi hayya]

Team man is out! Media reports were false.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[Iffitheking]

HOLY MOLY Pakistan is not batting, Ireland only need to score 250...

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK have to be prepared to chase down 300 today.

It is a 300 pitch and a game for the batters.

Bowlers should NOT be blamed for conceding 300 on this flat pitch.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Ehsan Adil starts?

 

[cricfan967]

Ehsan for Irfan and not Yasir

[Suleiman]

YK out, management finally grew a pair.

We finally may have a shot at chasing ~250.

Misbah losing the toss again

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Irfan ka ****** kich gaya?

 

[Abdullah719]

Adil is in.

[habibi hayya]

Huge pressure on wahab!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah said no Younus.

Party time.

 

[Strike Rate]

Ehsan coming instead of Yasir this is beyond

 

[iafzal]

Adil?

 

[Aloo Chaat]

What is Ehsan Adil? Bowler?

 

[ekpakistani]

Okk.. pray for rain in other game

 

[Iffitheking]

Afridi needs to step up again...

 

[Scorpion]

Anyone watching the PTV presentation ? They are fuming on Younis Khans exclusion.

 

[habibi hayya]

Ehsan coming instead of Yasir this is beyond

On this pitch.....it's the right call

 

[Strike Rate]

Adil?

this is beyond ridiculous now lets just hope he have a good day today

 

[ekpakistani]

Well, Pakistan has to be tenacious ... losing irfan is a big big challenge

 

[ahanank]

I would take Adil over Yasir on this pitch, tbh.
Let's be optimistic.

Soon we will have thread " Congrats Ireland & WI"

[Canistani Hero]

No better way to make team management realize how Rahat can be more potent option with the new ball

 

[Arsal_AK]

So we are with our strongest batting outfit for the first time this WC.

 

[Strike Rate]

On this pitch.....it's the right call

Yes but i have seen Ireland batsmen struggling against poor spinners on nothing pitches

 

[Asif321]

wow unbelievable YK dropped am.i dreaming

 

[pakistanisgreat]

man can we chase?????

 

[habibi hayya]

Pakistan will win inshallah. Have faith pakistanio!

 

[Canistani Hero]

Regardless of how Adil plays..good decision look at this pitch..two leggies against 6 left handers would be too risky imo and its way too flat

 

[Aloo Chaat]

I feel like crying

 

[ahanank]

Irfan would have been devastating against the lefties..
But, oh well, that guy is made of glass, I reckon.

 

[Suleiman]

People want Yasir in when this is the same place he went for plenty.

Ehsan isn't half as bad as people make him out to be. In fact, most people were backing him before that 1 bad match. Some hailed him as the next McGrath, all that changed in a handful of games?

 

[Electron]

Ireland can't defend anything. Wrong decision to bat first.

 

[Gollum]

they should have picked Yasir, bowling doesn't look too inspiring

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bowling first with no irfan . Long night ahead on a decent track . First 10 overs key

 

[Strike Rate]

Mohsin Khan looks angry on Younus exclusion lol and on Rameez for asking the captains who is gonna win on toss haha
