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

[Kianig89]

He had to, after this over they would have needed around 180 in 120 balls. Pak has actually bowled pretty tightly today unlike before when they used to give a boundary or two each over by bowling poor deliveries

Still of all bowlers you take on WC leading bowler

 

[MRSN]

But you do

I don't defend mediocre cricketer just because they are from my region. That would be very sad

 

[Jeetlodil]

why is Du Plessis a big wicket. He was playing into Pakistans hands. Miller and Morris will be big wickets

 

[QalandarFan]

Match over, congrats guys.

Match against NZ will be so big now, can't wait.

I feel NZ are overrated they have gotten all the easy games out the way and that is why they are at the top of the table. They are yet to play England, Ind, Aus, and Pak. We should ruin their run.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on

 

[szundercover]

If we win against newzealand somehow we will get to the semis I feel.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I don't defend mediocre cricketer just because they are from my region. That would be very sad

So, Kamran and Umar aren't mediocre?

 

[Syed1]

Hahahahhahahahahhahahahhahaha


Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal say hi ) ) )

 

[Titan24]

True, also the shot selection was poor

 

[AdamM97]

Overrated? Bruuuh

 

[QalandarFan]

why is Du Plessis a big wicket. He was playing into Pakistans hands. Miller and Morris will be big wickets

Because Miller and Morris haven't done zilch this whole tournament. They can't handle the slightest bit of pressure.

 

[Asif321]

Good going

 

[saeed5646]

Seriously need to make a thread on all those people who said Amir wouldn't make no difference to this bowling attack. They are all either hiding now or have hopped on the bandwagon!

Even ishant is considered better odi bowler than him even though the latter is not playing odis .

 

[Hasan123]

Wouldn't mind seeing Hafeez bowl a couple of overs at Miller.

 

[Syed1]

Time to take RRR into 9s

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cannot relax. Need to keep chipping away.

 

[AdamM97]

SA are the biggest bottlers when it comes to ICC tournaments.

 

[szundercover]

I feel NZ are overrated they have gotten all the easy games out the way and that is why they are at the top of the table. They are yet to play England, Ind, Aus, and Pak. We should ruin their run.

Well said newzealand are bound to loose one game and I hope its against us on the other side I hope they beat england.

 

[Titan24]

If we win today still NZ, BD and Afg cant be taken lightly. Need to be at the top of the game to win those as well

 

[Sin Nombre]

why is Du Plessis a big wicket. He was playing into Pakistans hands. Miller and Morris will be big wickets

Both are total hacks.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Kamran and Umar Akmal say hi!!!

 

[Syed1]

2 runs off that over... excellent

 

[Jeetlodil]

Because Miller and Morris haven't done zilch this whole tournament. They can't handle the slightest bit of pressure.

Faf would have kept on playing slow. If Miller and Morris dont get out?

 

[szundercover]

SA are the biggest bottlers when it comes to ICC tournaments.

They are out of the world cup at least the previous sides gave a fight to all the teams.

 

[AdamM97]

If we win today still NZ, BD and Afg cant be taken lightly. Need to be at the top of the game to win those

Afg looks the easiest to beat. BD has been good and can’t be taken lightly. NZ will be an uphill battle for Pakistan, let’s hope we win it tho.

 

[ScotRaz]

Does Van der Dussen have a skin condition or just a strange shaped suntan on his face? .... Looking like a Thundercat from the 80's cartoon.

 

[Titan24]

Both are total hacks.

The kind of runs they need now, Hacks are the key

 

[QalandarFan]

Overrated? Bruuuh

Yes if they beat India England or Australia then talk. Right now they have beaten the poor teams. Also they stumbled and fumbled on their way to beating Ban and SA. Along with this they should of lost to Windies they got lucky in the end that Brathwaite hauled out to the fielder. Their bowling apart from Ferguson isn't that special and in the series in UAE Pakistan played him pretty well. So no NZ aren't as good as their table shows in my opinion. They will lose all four of their next games in my opinion.

 

[Boi]

Amir drops it off his own bowling lol

 

[saeed5646]

Hahahahhahahahahhahahahhahaha


Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal say hi ) ) )

Man you have just put full stop to whole argument .Match done and dusted

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

David miller is really overrated.He won't do much here

 

[JibranAnsari]

south africans unable to judge the slope.

 

[Hasan123]

Unlucky.

 

[Sin Nombre]

SA are the biggest bottlers when it comes to ICC tournaments.

Don't use stupid cliches like Rameez or Manjrekar.

They have a terrible team with just 3 batsmen.

 

[Syed1]

Dammit.... could have had another

 

[Zeshan547]

childish mistake by Amir, could have easily rolled over, and avoid hitting elbow

 

[JaDed]

Amir having a bad day with catching

 

[IAJ]

Oh no

 

[dhump]

Damnnnn he had it.

 

[QalandarFan]

Faf would have kept on playing slow. If Miller and Morris dont get out?

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Look Miller already giving a chance crumbling under the pressure of expectations.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

why didn't he hold the ball tight.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our fielding is awful

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Amir seems to be on a mission, he is bowling with aim.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Drop by Amir

 

[ManFan]

Should have taken that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

now amir cant blame others who drop catches on his bowling.

 

[Sin Nombre]

I feel NZ are overrated they have gotten all the easy games out the way and that is why they are at the top of the table. They are yet to play England, Ind, Aus, and Pak. We should ruin their run.

Their batting is weak and is one early KW dismissal away from collapsing but KW is in great form.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Our fielding is awful

He had it. His elbow was the reason.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

How many lifes will these SA cricketers get? It ain't even funny anymore.

 

[Syed1]

Elbow hit the ground..... long sleeves shirts should ahve elbow patches

 

[QalandarFan]

Even ishant is considered better odi bowler than him even though the latter is not playing odis .

For a second I thought you were serious ) I was boutta write a paragraph

 

[saeed5646]

Just wishful thinking can we get atleast 50 runs win

Need to improve Net runrate

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Amir on fire

 

[Titan24]

Amir has been a star in this WC and people in UK loving him and chanting his name

 

[Fahdi]

Amir having a bad day with catching

Well he is a pretty poor fielder, always has been. A more athletic bowler probably would have held onto those

 

[Syed1]

Van der Dussen playing like Misbah at Mohali.... shaba boy aisay hi

 

[MRSN]

So, Kamran and Umar aren't mediocre?

But I don't defend them because they are from Punjab. I actually grew up watching Kami play some great knocks so I had a soft spot for him. UA was undoubtedly a great talent. I would have defended him no matter what region he was from. I wad a very big critic of Misab as a captain and as a player and he was from city not far from mine. Liking and disliking should be based on merit not region.

 

[uberkoen]

Let's try to wrap this up with a huge margin so we get some positive impact on our NRR

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Common boys win by 100 runs

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bring on Hafeez for Miller

 

[Hasan123]

Need to find a way to improve NRR.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Van der Dussen playing like Misbah at Mohali.... shaba boy aisay hi

He is their last batsman, the rest will collapse below 200 unless he sticks around.

 

[QalandarFan]

Their batting is weak and is one early KW dismissal away from collapsing but KW is in great form.

KW is really the glue that hold them together get him out early and the rest of the batting is vulnerable. I'm still hoping they somehow beat England though do not see it happening.

 

[asadee]

I am scared of Phelukwaya

 

[szundercover]

Just wishful thinking can we get atleast 50 runs win

We just need to win 4 matches and hope england looses 2 out of 3 games for Pakistan to qualify.Its simple as that,run rate wont be a factor.

 

[Syed1]

RRR above 9 now

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez should’ve bowled this over instead of Imad

 

[pakistanisgreat]

4444

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

By the way, Amir is yet to give boundary in this match and 6 in whole WC.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mohammed Amir is in my pp fantasy, need two more wickets

 

[QalandarFan]

RRR above 9 now

People were out here saying match is slipping away when they were 80-1 )

 

[Syed1]

Time for Shaheen perhaps to try and exploit some bounce

 

[Syed1]

People were out here saying match is slipping away when they were 80-1 )

Don't give too much importance to opinion of children

 

[Sherazkhalid]

How much more of a squeeze we can put on SA?

 

[QalandarFan]

Miller looking set for his 20 and out

 

[Usman Chadda]

But I don't defend them because they are from Punjab. I actually grew up watching Kami play some great knocks so I had a soft spot for him. UA was undoubtedly a great talent. I would have defended him no matter what region he was from. I wad a very big critic of Misab as a captain and as a player and he was from city not far from mine. Liking and disliking should be based on merit not region.

Let's keep it simple - Your endless support for Kamran and Umar invalidates your constant criticism of Sarfraz. The former two have been the definition of the word 'disappointment'.

 

[Titan24]

I am scared of Phelukwaya

He cant hit consistently, the match he won in SA was when he just needed to bat overs as target was really low

 

[Mamoon]

Our World Cup campaign was over when we got demolished by West Indies. It ruined our NRR and we have been walking on a tightrope since.

Fluking a win over England and beating this abysmal South African side makes no difference.

 

[Hasan123]

Imad finished his overs.

 

[QalandarFan]

He cant hit consistently, the match he won in SA was when he just needed to bat overs as target was really low

He got so lucky that day against Shadab.
