Pakistan vs South Africa | Match 30, World Cup | Lord's | June 23, 2019 | Pakistan innings

Hafeez needs to just play his shots in my opinion. No point in plodding around for 2 an over.
 
We are a rubbish team, save your words for someone who will listen.

I agree we are both playing very poor lately but you are the worst most pathetic fan. You get a kick out of losing and when we are winning you still you cry like a *****. I will always call you out every time because you deserve nothing less.
 
Pakistan's fate rests on Babar scoring a 100 here. Otherwise this match is lost at 99-2 in 22 overs.
 
Apparently this was our best team since 99 and the weakest South African team for a WC, there isn't even that much of a gap between the 2 teams. Show how far we have fallen.

Since 2011, and if after watching SA's campaign so far you don't believe this is their weakest team for a WC then I don't know what to say.
 
Prof needs to target Tahir. Babar shouldn’t be exposed to him too much.
 
Great to see pakistan winning toss and batting. All pitches are getting slower and
have something for spinners. any score near or above 250 will challenge any team

interesting Phase now with Hafeez and Babar on the crease. Babar looks settled now
 
like i said before. our players are playing for them selves.
make a 35+ and your are safe for the day. they are being paied £2000 + each for every match.
if i am the pcb chairman. should bring up the rule. no match money if you not perform or perfom less than you should.
...
also look the way fakhir run to go inside after out.
people were shouting at them like PERCHI . SHAME.
 
280 will be enough today.

It’s flat but ball is spinning a bit.

Yeah I feel 250+ against this SA team is a winning total.

It is one of their weakest teams and they are probably slightly better than us.
 
Cmon yaar bobby hit a hundred today. This team needs leaders with both bat n ball. U are our only hope in that regard
 
If we loose today we will loose all 4 matches. We need major changes in our batting line up.
 
Problem is that our bowling has been getting smacked for 300 plus for the last 3 months.

No score is safe

That's against teams like India and England. This SA team is putting no fear into the oppositions. They really only have one player in form and that's Rassie.
 
Top 2 out. Babar to play a nice on the eye 39 off 43 balls... the rest to collapse..
 
Onus on Hafeez to play a blistering knock and shift momentum
His innings will be very crucial because he is the most senior batsman
 
Hafeez is much more at ease when batting first. The same goes for others but for Hafeez the difference can be staggering

That usually happens when he comes a few overs later. But should still look to knock it around till the 30th over and then go on the attack.
 
Both these guys looking set, only brilliance from SA or stupidity from Pakistan should ruffle this.
 
We don't have any decent spinners.

Imad bowled well other day.

And Shadab looks rusty but who knows today ball might come out better.

They will be crucial in choking down the South Africans as they don’t play spin well.
 
Pak fans always need to exaggerate things remember that game where we almost defended 340 against England was supposed to be a 500 runs pitch then the World Cup game against them was also suppose to be a 500 run pitch. Like you are there playing on the pitch and know what a good total is :facepalm:
 
Should have been 150 by now after the good start.

But very important that these two take the game to 40th over
 
Unlike Hafeez here holding back against Imran Tahir.

Edit: He clobbers him for a :six :))) I knew it wasn't far
