Pakistan vs South Africa | 30th Match, World Cup | Lord's | June 23 | Pre-Match Discussion Thread

[Arsalan Pro]

I think 9 players are almost guaranteed to start tomorrow, if they don't pull up an injury.

Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali and Hasan Ali will definitely not play against South Africa atleast.


The only desicion that is to be made is:

Which 2 to select from Wahab Riaz, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Hasnain?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I wouldn't pick Asif Ali as he doesn't seem like in the right mental state to be playing cricket, he has been dropping catches left and right which are proving very costly. As we can't make any changes outside of the World Cup squad this will be my team.

Fakhar Zaman
Imam
Babar Azam
Harris Sohail
Mohammad Hafeeez
Sarfraz
Imad Wasim
Shadab Khan
Wahab Riaz
Mohammad Amir
Mohammad Hasnain

Win the toss and bat first, score anything above 300 and Pakistan will have this match on the hands, South Africa are out.

Don't get Amla out, let him score a 50 of 80-90 ball while chasing 300+

Get Rassie van der Dussen out and match is over.

Fakhar

Haris
Safraz
Imad
Asif
Shadab
Wahab
Amir
Hasnain
Shaheen

This lineup is now a must for the remaining 4 matches

2 wickets and we are done and dusted. And that is some tail.

There is no way you drop Imam from this team.

Fakhar.
Imam.
Babar.
Haris.
Hafeez.
Sarfraz.
Imad.
Shadab.
Wahab.
Amir.
Hasnain.

This is going to be the most likely team. The top 4 is our best and what we should have gone with from the start.

Imad is not getting dropped after the India game. Both him and Asif are useless though, no matter who you play.

Would kill to see Pak bat first and put up 300+, my eyes are dreading to see the scorecard read 100-0 before 20th or 151-1 before the 27th over.

Want to see us defend 320+, let's dominate the second innings, Aamir doing his job, one of Shaheen/Hasnain/Wahab taking at least 3 wickets with 3-40 (10) being there figures, let's do it today in sha allah.

 

[Kianig89]

just read scenarios on a website and all is not doomed provided we keep winning our games team selection should be on merit and form aim should be to bat first and field like India did yesterday energized for every ball, fingers crossed and have a plan for Imran Tahir SA will probably drop Pwayo watch out for bounce of Morris

 

[hussain.r97]

Won't be surprised if South Africa turn up and decide not to choke, they have nothing to lose now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Need Fakhar and Babar to be in a positive frame of mind. Even though they played alright, they looked dead scared against India. Not sure why the team management is not giving these guys confidence, as they have the ability and they are the best batsmen we have in the team.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fakhar
Imam
Babar
Haris
Hafeez

Imad
Shadab
Shaheen
Aamir
Hasnain

Pakistan needs to stick with this lineup for the rest of the matches .

 

[sharmaji]

Play Shaheen Afridi, Haris Sohail and Hasnain. Pak will win today. SA doesn't have the spark.
