Pakistan vs India | 2nd Semi Final | WC 11 | Mohali | 30/03/11 | Pakistan Innings

[Xshazero]

261 to chase down. Our openers must put a good partnership...

InshAllah, we will chase it..

 

[WorldCup2011Glory]

I'A we will achieve this D

 

[nads_rocks]

Definitely gettable.

Did well to keep the total below 300, could have been much much worse. Good comeback thanx to our spinners and Wahab Riaz most importantly.

Gul had an off-day but 1 bowler atleast stood out so well done to him.

 

[Xshazero]

It will be Pakistan who will make it to Mumbai, InshAllah.

We must not choke, I hope our batsmen put up a good fight.

C'mon Pakistan....

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I still believe it is India's game until the game is over.

 

[Pakistani93]

InshaAllah we will win this by 8 wickets

 

[slblack]

Lets go boys, this is a chaseable total.

 

[AZ]

a very doable score, and the Indian bowling composition is completely wrong for pitch.

Inshallah we will do it.

 

[qaiser]

all depend on whats been decided behind closed doors

 

[Strike!]

We are historically poor chasers.

 

[Xshazero]

261 is chaseable on this pitch. Remember we were expecting India to make 300+. We can do it. Just don't come under pressure please...

Our opening must fire....

 

[Sherazkhalid]

all depend on whats been decided behind closed doors

I like this guy, and due to that I say India.

 

[rash]

A good start is needed by our openers, one of them has to score a century

 

[ali_786]

Don't get over-confident guys. Please keep praying for a win.

Insha'Allah Pakistan will win! Insha'Allah Pakistan will win!

 

[pak4life]

The only way we will win is if someone gets a hundred I cant see many batsmen surviving the pressure its all down to misbah younis or umar akmal

 

[pakcricketfan]

Watch Sidhu on Star Cricket. ) )

 

[slblack]

Dont forget indians were looking over 350 the way sehwag started. Gul choked big time.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pakistan made such a fight back because Pakistan rate was to go up, anyways one poster said that bookies prediction for Indian total is 260-275 and though they just made it, its still unbelievable that they couldn't make 330 or so and Pakistan dropped so many catches, its a big nura khustii.

 

[Xshazero]

We are not good chasers, granted. But I still believe it will be us who are going to make it to Mumbai today. InshAllah!! I am confident enough...

 

[qaiser]

I like this guy, and due to that I say India.

so is that what bookies are saying?

 

[Markhor]

This sort of match would be ideal for Inzy !

30-3 in a semi final,he would come in and take us home !

It is vital that one of Younis or Misbah gets a big score supported by one of the openers at least and then Umar Akmal can finish it off when he comes in.

 

[saajidrox]

Ball will be swinging Under lights
Pressure
Vulnerable batting

Makes 261. Look like 321

 

[Arcturus]

Dhoni's decision to play Nehra instead of Ashwin is gonna come back and bite him

 

[saajidrox]

If we had butt Maliki and Inzy this would be an easy lemon squeeze

 

[Xshazero]

I was expecting India to make 300+. So 260 is not that bad on this pitch. Now it's down to our batsmen to achieve this.....

C'mon Pakistan....

 

[Fireworks11]

Bismillah par ke aajaou.

 

[Markhor]

Ah,the hysterical comments by the pundits.
The nervous fans.
The emotional players.
The ranting and raving family.

You just know Pakistan vs India are playing !

 

[Pakipride19]

It is so important that we get off to a solid start, I'm thinking 0-60 after 12-15, hopefully, we need a solid platform so that we don't panic

 

[cricfan967]

Hope we don't choke against this joke of a bowling attack.
Only real threat I see is Bhajji

 

[Romali_rotti]

India blew a huge chance here,, looks like SRT wont ever get his hands on the WC trophy............

 

[Khan88]

Other than Bhajji there are part timers that won't trouble YK/Misbah at all in the middle overs. Expect Nehra to be as bad as Gul today. India's team selection will hurt them here for sure.

InshAllah, I'm confident Pakistan can and will chase down 261.

 

[midaz]

Guys! Lets keep praying. May Allah bless our team with success tonight in the semi final and then on Saturday in the final, Ameen.

 

[IMMY69]

If we were offered 260 before start of play I think 99 out of 100 would have taken it with both hands!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Some one please make themselves a hero! Hafeez/Akmal/Y Khan!

Anyone please!

 

[DOOSRA95]

Let the mother of all battles 2nd half commence

 

[cricketpassion]

Lol Sky showed reaction at TKC in southall after yuvraj's wicket

 

[pak4life]

will zaheer do a gully? lets hope so

 

[Amjid Javed]

So nervous right now come on Pakistan! come onnnnnnnnnnn!

 

[qaiser]

If we were offered 260 before start of play I think 99 out of 100 would have taken it with both hands!!

I wouldn't.

still it's too high based on the wicke, our bowling strength, dodgy characters, and fragile batting under pressure

but lets be positive and pray for Pakistan victory

 

[cricwiz]

inshAllah someone from Pakistan top order (i.e. Hafeez, Kamran, Asad & Younis) will get a big century today and win the match for Pakistan..

 

[immubhai]

Boys, this is a gettable total. Please get it done and be hero forever.
Gulllaaa choker.
Lets hope we chase this small total. I was seeing 340 in the morning. thanks God, its only 260

 

[nads_rocks]

Lol Sky showed reaction at TKC in southall after yuvraj's wicket

was gr8 to see that, shows what that wicket meant as he was the danger, he has been in gud form so it was gud Riaz got him bowled 1st ball.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Thank god no Inzimam, Yousuf, Malik, Salman, 260 against current Pakistan batting line-up is defendable, pressure of chasing in knock out game is too much.

 

[purepak]

will zaheer do a gully? lets hope so

i dont think so. he's pretty cool in pressure.

 

[Markhor]

Mark Nicholas : A 'kiss to the turf' there by Riaz

Nope,sajda

 

[Maula Jutt]

I am very, very nervous!!

Chasing is not our forte.

 

[Maher96]

How long left till play resumes??

 

[cricfan967]

Players are out!

 

[IMMY69]

I wouldn't.

still it's too high based on the wicke, our bowling strength, dodgy characters, and fragile batting under pressure

but lets be positive and pray for Pakistan victory

If we don't get this total then it's gonna be our fault... We just have to bat sensibly

 

[<< Rashid >>]

We might have bats flying around if Pakistan players don't remove the butter on their hands.

All about handling nerves so far, and Misbah and Younis haven't inspired us so far.

Shades of the 'gettable if we don't f*** up' score we made in the t20 final 2007.

 

[ads101]

Thank god no Inzimam, Yousuf, Malik, Salman, 260 against current Pakistan batting line-up is defendable, pressure of chasing in knock out game is too much.

At least we still have Younis and misbah.

 

[MC]

What time does the game begin friends?

 

[Maher96]

Inshallah this is will be our WC!!

Pakistan Zindabaad!!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Qaiser so is that what bookies are saying?

Well India are fav. to win WC as per bookies, then someone said that India score will be 260-275, thats is true as well even though at one stage they looked to make 300 plus and at one under 250. It will be a big loss for bookies if they cannot make money on Indian team for one more game, this WC is a boon for them, due to that I say that today's game and WC final is for India to win.

 

[cricfan967]

What time does the game begin friends?

Right now! Players out on the field.

 

[JellyBro]

probably cut the biggest brain cheese of his career. Bowling full tosses after full tosses....reminded me of the NZ game. Good thing there wasn't another taylor down the other hand otherwise we would have been looking at around 300 to chase

 

[zulfiqar]

How long now?

 

[Xshazero]

Match about to begin...

 

[Munna]

and straight away in the gap .. and

 

[cricfan967]

off the first ball

 

[Atif]

great start

 

[avidlearner]

4 to start with Kamran it is

 

[Xshazero]

:

 

[cricfan967]

4/0 after 1 ball

 

[qaiser]

If we don't get this total then it's gonna be our fault... We just have to bat sensibly

I seem to feel it's always a team's fault if they lose

 

[Khan88]

257 more!!!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Great start, take that Zaheer wham wham batman

 

[nads_rocks]

1st ball and smacked for

 

[Markhor]

 

[UP]

 

[Munna]

remember that indians planned this pitch and ground according to indian batting!


notice how the ball races towards the boundary the moment it crosses the field in the circle

 

[DOOSRA95]

lovely shot 4

 

[Amjid Javed]

good start by Kami!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Game already started?

 

[chui_kadoo]

 

[tauseefm]

Come on guys give Gul a break. Even he has given so many runs we wouldve been in good shape had we taken all those easy catches.

btw i am at work so keep the score updates coming. AND PLZ win us this match. I am gona start crying if we don't :'(

 

[cricfan967]

Good ball by Zaheer

 

[Atif]

low bounce

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need a nice solid start here! nothing stupid please!

 

[qaiser]

Well India are fav. to win WC as per bookies, then someone said that India score will be 260-275, thats is true as well even though at one stage they looked to make 300 plus and at one under 250.

why do these bookies always have to favour team playing Pakistan
