USA (159/3) & (18/1) defeat Pakistan (159/7) & (13/1) by 5 runs in a super over thriller to cause the first major upset of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[Rana]

USA don’t want to review Babar’s LBW appeal

They are following the Aqib Javed route

 

[TeymurBlake]

Fakhar.

What have you done.

 

[castortroy]

Wow this is some terrible batting like I have never seen before

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar is goner....Depp deep trouble

 

[Kianig89]

Do Pakistan have any strategy looking blank so far

 

[Croma]

Whatis going on

 

[Energy]

Losing the plot. And gifting the wickets. That is ultra pathetic.

 

[kingusama92]

Oh my god.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar looks like a deer on headlights...and we made this guy out Kuptaan again...dude cannot handle pressure of any kind

 

[RehanG]

Azam to rescue today.

 

[Kianig89]

National.shame it will be if we are defeated by Usa

 

[RidiculousMan]

Brain dead shots continue

 

[JattMaula]

Zaman has fallen!

 

[kingusama92]

They're even worse than we thought.

 

[sweto]

Fixed match.. clearly

 

[adzzy786]

Oh my oh my

 

[Rana]

Shadab at number 5

This is where Iftikhar a proper batsman with a 40 average in red ball fc cricket should be batting

 

[shaz619]

@BouncerGuy Rizwan getting bent by the USA brother, end of an era for all his groupies, better luck against Uganda?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think that was the dumbest dismissal I've ever seen.

 

[chinaman00]

Lol like a clockwork.

Man! This team really forgot how to win win. That trashing from India, in which Naseem Shah was injured, during the Asia Cup really did a number on them. They haven’t been the same since.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

A well deserved embarrassment for destroying the team after 2019.

This is what happens when good men when like Sarfraz are treated like trash and replaced by frauds like this Legwan

Our retribution will be glorious

 

[RidiculousMan]

National.shame it will be if we are defeated by Usa

Does it? We already are like 51st state of USA

 

[TeymurBlake]

USA have got Pakistan on the ropes.

 

[Savak]

This is why you never ever send an out of form, short of confidence bunch to a mega event like a WC. Sticking with the same Babar group was absolute madness. This team has been utterly exposed for the last one year.

 

[Human786]

now it is all on Azam the Hulk & IFTI the Beast to get PAK to 150

 

[Technics 1210]

Utter shambles.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What? How could Fakhar get out to Ali Khan ? He plays a slightly quicker but similarly brainless pacer like Rauf in the nets all the time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan needs elongated batting line up. No point in playing 4 seamers if none of them Is all rounder.

 

[Champ_Pal]

What in the world is happening. Just tuned in. Pakistan 26/3?

 

[shaz619]

You deserve this for opening with those two clowns deliberately putting the entire line up under pressure, what a shambles!

 

[castortroy]

Babar should have never been reinstated as skipper

 

[Vikram1989]

This netravalkar is a very decent bowler

Never heard of him but he's bowling some beautiful deliveries

He played along with kl,mayank ,etc in 2010 under 19 wc .He settled in USA to pursue ms

 

[adzzy786]

Does it? We already are like 51st state of USA

Exactly

 

[kingusama92]

If they lose to the US, they should just take the flight back to Lahore tonight.

 

[shortbread]

ICC have made absolutely horrendous pitches in a T20 World Cup that's supposed to favour batsmen!

 

[mominsaigol]

Let's see team of 2nd string franchise superstars vs Team texts vacation. What a miss match

 

[MHN1293]

At this point only way babar can redeem himself is to score a 50 ball 60 and take us to 130. Winnable score

 

[MANU ROY]

Shadab will score a 50

 

[ChTab]

So this joke of a team is supposed to win vs Ind

 

[Theo_14]

ICC have made absolutely horrendous pitches in a T20 World Cup that's supposed to favour batsmen!

Excuses. The shot selection from Usman and Fakhar has nothing to do with the pitch.

 

[Rana]

“That shot from Zaman was never on”- Waqar Younis

Mate he hit Archer for sixes with that shot. Where do these clowns suddenly rock up from?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

lol, 100 may be now

 

[Energy]

The bowlers aren't doing anything special. It's the freak and pathetic batting that is the issue.

Don't they have any proper cricket shots?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ex-Pakistani Ali Khan bowling very well.

 

[JAV12341]

I called it getting blown away by a minnow team. This Pakistan team is minnow level

 

[castortroy]

Lol like a clockwork.

Man! This team really forgot how to win win. That trashing from India, in which Naseem Shah was injured, during the Asia Cup really did a number on them. They haven’t been the same since.

This

They have never recovered from that mauling

 

[NeVerMind]

Azam to rescue today.

Only if he eats the opposition team!

 

[mominsaigol]

Believe in Fakhar bro

The guy deserves to play in the super 8s

Still want me to believe? Blame babar for fakhar's wicket. No one told Bobby to play like a spring chicken. This confirms the saim thing btw.

Whoever babar partners with gets removed due to hitting pressure and not playing natural game

 

[Kroll]

Jeez, I nip out for a few mins and return with 3 down and Shadab batting (trying) what is this joke?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

always first game of WC and then time for prayers and calculations

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan always makes it interesting against Minnows. Never an easy win.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Pakistan cricket is officially dead

 

[MHN1293]

Test match pitch

 

[shah_1]

Poor Shan Masood was dropped from this pathetic team

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Shahdab has no idea how to play.

 

[Markhor]

If you never saw a game of cricket before - you'd think Pakistan are the plucky minnows playing for further opportunities at this level trying to put up a respectable show against the mighty USA.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan is looking like they are facing India. LOL

 

[shortbread]

Please wait till both teams have batted, USA are going to face the likes of Afridi, Aamir, Rauf etc....

 

[castortroy]

Here comes Wasim commentary, just to state the obvious

 

[Asif321]

Lord shady

 

[NeVerMind]

Jeez, I nip out for a few mins and return with 3 down and Shadab batting (trying) what is this joke?

Big joke still to come....

 

[TeymurBlake]

Pakistan are looking like they want to get out.

 

[Rana]

You need Saim and Fakhar opening

This is horse rubbish

 

[Nikhil_cric]

ICC have made absolutely horrendous pitches in a T20 World Cup that's supposed to favour batsmen!

Nothing wrong with Dallas pitch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Took the words out of my mouth.

 

[castortroy]

Who all bowl at least 1 bad delivery an over

 

[shaz619]

Pakistan are playing like they discovered cricket yesterday, it all stared with the openers, they are responsible

 

[Extra_Cover]

Unfortunately Pakistan at the moment is a group of individuals who are bunched together to play as a team. As individuals some of these players might be of some value but as a team they are all over the place. There is currently no team comradery, politics infused in team, selections all over the place (haven't selected enough batsmen to substitute Azam Khan), players with no current history of performance getting repeated picks (Azam Khan, Shadab, Amir, Usman), an entourage of officials who fill no purpose eating into PCB resources. Everything in the broader landscape is currently wrong.

 

[Shafi]

Loose to US will be another achievement for Zimbabar.

 

[shortbread]

Ali Khan is the fittest Pakistani bowler in International cricket currently!

 

[Ali Active]

lol they did M haris dirty he was purely deserving ahead of these clowns

 

[Human786]

Now that the match has got a bit boring , an hour be4 the start Wasim said PAK has the best pace bowling attack & great spinners - makes me wonder if our man is still smoking some potent green stuff or I fail to see the obvious , specifically about the great spinners bit ! What say @Rana @Mamoon @The Bald Eagle @BouncerGuy

 

[Energy]

See out this Netra guy. Such are the times.

 

[TeymurBlake]

USA fielding is tremendous.

 

[kingusama92]

Can't blame the pitch here.

They are playing completely rubbish shots.

 

[adzzy786]

lol they did M haris dirty he was purely deserving ahead of these clowns

In what world do you pick aazam over Harris

 

[followed]

Lol hahahahahah babar
3 off 12.
It really can't get any embarrassing than this.

 

[Rana]

From here

pakistan will do well to get to 170

That’s probably not going to cut it here

 

[followed]

Seriously babar is worst T20 player in the world.
