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

[sweep_shot]

If Pakistan scores over 250, they should win this.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant back to back shots from Imam

 

[Mueez]

Showing intent.

Good to see.

 

[Boi]

330 isn’t going to be enough with our bowlers on this pitch.

 

[castortroy]

I can see de Kock getting runs today

 

[JibranAnsari]

two good drives from our next captain.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Great start for Pakistan

 

[Ronaldo7]

What a shot.

 

[msb314]

Flurry of boundaries - good stuff!

 

[chinaman00]

Just dealing in boundaries. No appetite for singles and rotating strike. Sad really.

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam
Back to back s

 

[Rana]

Excellent support but surprisingly Lords still has plenty of empty seats

 

[maqbool]

3.2 : 25-0

At this point in the match, I predict Pakistan will win this match

 

[Ronaldo7]

Just dealing in boundaries. No appetite for singles and rotating strike. Sad really.

Man. Just be quiet.

 

[saeed5646]

Imam have few very tough outing .hopefully today he capitalize on good start

 

[Mamoon]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

 

[msb314]

330 isn’t going to be enough with our bowlers on this pitch.

What’s the par score here?

 

[MMHS]

One of the shot of the tournament, now need to make sure that this start isn't wasted. PAK will need 300+ here.

 

[Boi]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

Not really lucky when Faf was going to bowl first anyway.

 

[Green Patriot]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

Faf wanted to bowl first so wouldnt have mattered.

 

[Grunge101]

Shoaib "ive never seen Imam play a cover drive"
Imam " take that"

 

[msb314]

Excellent support but surprisingly Lords still has plenty of empty seats

Maybe some fans are still ****** off..

 

[imshally81]

r

 

[Shafi]

What a shot from Imam!!!!! May be ICC should do some drug test

 

[Ronaldo7]

What’s the par score here?

Highest is 334

 

[JibranAnsari]

Excellent support but surprisingly Lords still has plenty of empty seats

expected after lackluster performances from both teams. Almost a dead rubber.

 

[saeed5646]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

Faf himself wanted to bowl first .hence your logic

 

[msb314]

4 more!

 

[Crickeet]

Lol Rabada trying to do an Olivier and bounce us out.

How embarrassing was that! Getting bounced out by that kolpak mercenary pie thrower. At least with Rabada it would be less embarrassing.

 

[Mueez]

Oh man.

Imam those shots.

 

[big_gamer007]

Imam is class can't believe Pakistani fans want him gone.

 

[MMHS]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

Faf would have bowled as well, but I think batting will be easier in 2nd half - coping up with pressure in chase is different issue though.

 

[uberkoen]

Positive intent. Good start. Let's see whether we can continue this

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaba Imam

 

[AAli98]

Quite clear to see SA are the whipping boys of this world cup.

 

[msb314]

I think we should aim for around 350 - thoughts?

 

[Ronaldo7]

A lucky toss to win. Perfect conditions for batting first.

Not lucky coz faf wanted to bowl first.

 

[Mamoon]

Not really lucky when Faf was going to bowl first anyway.

Faf wanted to bowl first so wouldnt have mattered.

Faf himself wanted to bowl first .hence your logic

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

 

[gani999]

Imam taking Ngidi to the cleaners here. Hope he can build a big score.

 

[Ronaldo7]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Matlab kuch bhi

 

[Mueez]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Cricket is a mind game.

Skills can be learned and trained.

But the mind cannot.

 

[sindhiboy]

Shoaib akhtar was saying that imam cannot play a cover drive. He has played 3 magnificent ones. Imam is not bad. His criticism should be stopped

 

[saeed5646]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Too much insight. You should apply for head coach job

 

[JibranAnsari]

imam needs to work on his front foot positioning and on keeping hi bat straight while playing backfoot.

 

[Gullycricket]

Shoaib "ive never seen Imam play a cover drive"
Imam " take that"

Please don't talk about the worst analyst of the game.He should stick to videos about Sonali Bendre.If we win today he will talk as if it happened due to h

 

[Green Patriot]

How embarrassing was that! Getting bounced out by that kolpak mercenary pie thrower. At least with Rabada it would be less embarrassing.

Seriously humiliating stuff that was

 

[Arsal_AK]

Now don't waste this start Imam.

 

[MRSN]

Imam is class can't believe Pakistani fans want him gone.

Yeah. He bats with some glass.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Great shots by imam

 

[msb314]

Good shot by Fakhar!

 

[Zeshan547]

I know it's too early to say, but usual suspects Plz give them credit for today or just shut up, even playing down today performance that it's almost dead rubber when it's really not, and saying lucky toss when Faf too wanted to bowl 1st anyway,

 

[Green Patriot]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Oh my God.
My whole life has been a lie

 

[saeed5646]

Man i am worried for shaheen he is toothless on flat wicket

 

[Arsal_AK]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Or he could have just simply wanted to bowl first.

 

[dani rana]

Shoaib akhtar was saying that imam cannot play a cover drive. He has played 3 magnificent ones. Imam is not bad. His criticism should be stopped

Like his uncle ****** will score run when position under threat

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Good start need to continue like that

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think today is imran tahirs day , he will destroy our batting.

 

[Mamoon]

Too much insight. You should apply for head coach job

Trust me, it happens more often than you think. Not only does it boost the morale of the players, it also sends a message to the opposition.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Man that joke from Waz. God it's like a your dad trying to join in with a group of you and your friends.

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[Mueez]

Are these Pakistani openers?

 

[uberkoen]

Imam playing those cover drives for Akhtar!

 

[JibranAnsari]

imam is in form , bad news for the top teams.

 

[Gullycricket]

Man that joke from Waz. God it's like a your dad trying to join in with a group of you and your friends.

Trying to act cool Waz

 

[pakistanisgreat]

An other great drive stopped by fielders

 

[Ronaldo7]

I've never seen imam play the cover drive so many times.

 

[Mamoon]

Or he could have just simply wanted to bowl first.

I highly doubt that. It is a must win game for them and they will not prefer to chase. Faf is a sly character, he knows what to say and when to say.

 

[msb314]

Anyone think s that if we get to 350+ can we bowl out SAF to around 200 and boost our NRR?

 

[Mueez]

imam is in form , bad news for the top teams.

Centuries coming up against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Pakistan looking a lot more relaxed and confident today. It's a flat wicket, need to get 320 and win big for NRR reasons.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Anyone think s that if we get to 350+ can we bowl out SAF to around 200 and boost our NRR?

It would. But other teams have a much higher NRR than us

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Zaman needs to be careful

 

[JibranAnsari]

south africa need to bowl bouncers.

 

[Mainul]

Imam and Babar are the two best things happened to Pak cricket in last few years

 

[saeed5646]

Trust me, it happens more often than you think. Not only does it boost the morale of the players, it also sends a message to the opposition.

What guarantee you will give if same thing was said by sarfraz

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Don't slow down now

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz looks relaxed...

 

[Gullycricket]

All these cover drives are slaps on face of Pathetic Akhtar
