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

Shame on babar. Tailender like shadab is hitting sixes here for fun and he is batting at 9 off 24 balls.
 
Here you go SHadab,., Lets do it... come on.... 2 sixes back to back
 
USA's party over. Shadab treating these trundlers like they should be
 
Now let’s listen to Wasim’s boring story of knowing young Flintoff at Lancashire
 
Pitch is doing a lot. Question is whether we have the bowlers to defend a low total?
Even if the scrap a win being in this situation in 1st place is unacceptable
 
Babar does come across as a bowling machine batter at times. Anything that's not textbook, he seems to have no Plan B.

That's where he is now getting caught every second game.

Needs to do something about it.
 
Even if he can't bowl one decent over, I would still prefer Shadab because of his batting and fielding over Usman Khan and Azam Khan.
 
130-140 should be enough on this pitch

But then you never know with our bowlers
 
pakistan doesn't seem relaxed at all. they need to relax. USA seems at home literally and relaxed.
 
Baba 18 (27) vs USA, thats truly diabolical.
 
Babar showing a bit of confidence now, at this point he has to go all the way.
 
Shadab generally plays his best when he takes a bit of time to get his eye in and then go for the big shots after. Of course we have too many accumulators, but this should be his ploy in ODI's (when he inevitably plays for the team).
 
Waqar Younis: “I’m surprised Pakistan really struggled to play the left armers”


Zor zor se India ko scheme bata dai!!!
 
Lol babar is the leading t20is run scorer now and he should not even play t20s
He is not a T20 player and he never will be.
 
He's just not a T20 player, he's like a Joe Root, but Eng got rid of these types of player in favour of brute force.

Yes that's a pretty good comparison. He's Pakistan's best batsman but in this format he can lose games as much as win them.
 
This is not acceptable.... Need to score at least 100 riuns from here.
 
Use your feet against the spinners man.

Negate the spin by charging at the spinner.

Zor zor se India ko scheme bata dai!!!
kaun si scheme - kitney Left arm pacers hain IND ki 15 mein ? Babar on fire 87/3 in 11.5
 
Babar showing a bit of confidence now, at this point he has to go all the way.

Even then we could still lose unless he suddenly blasts hell for leather. Pakistan is running out of orders to make a definite winning score, Babar might be just happy with 160 which is dangerous.
 
with everything in consideration was is a realistic score Pak can defend on this ground when USA come to bat
 
Credit where it’s due. Good recovery and rebuild process by Pakistan. But can they finish on a high?
 
Shadab's customary 1 good game after 25 coming good today
