West Indies (294/6) secure a comprehensive 202-run win over Pakistan (92) to seal a historic 2-1 series victory

[Rana]

51 scored off the last 41 balls. Pitch has gotten easier ?

No.

Different batsman. Different approach. Chase being a sweeper has changed the game

 

[Abstraction1]

Lovely ball from Naseem. I only wish Pakistan would bowl more Yorkers.

 

[Usman Chadda]

That was just perfect, too good

 

[Rana]

Big wicket against the run of play

 

[RidiculousMan]

What happened to Bishop? the hype train came a bit delayed and a bit unexpected.

 

[batandballbattle]

bang on yorker out of nowhere, can look to restrict better now maybe

 

[Rana]

Good, much needed over for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

What a shot by Motie

 

[Rana]

Pakistan clawing back here

3 Windies batters left

Not enough really on the board for them.

 

[Obaidd]

Looks like RizBar will have to go deep tonight

Haha or is it going to be another episode of fearless agha moving down the order

 

[Rana]

One hell of a shot against the dipping ball reversing

Hope is a class player man!

 

[Rana]

WI get 6 runs of the last ball instead of 4 because of a dumb fielding no ball!

 

[Rana]

200 up

 

[Rana]

What a player man

 

[Ahmed216]

Why is Nawaz bowling not abrar??
Hilarious

 

[Zeshan547]

why the hell is Fool Kaptana bowling this fake all rounder in death overs, where is Abrar ?

 

[PakPremi]

Real Nawaz is back but he should.notbe bowling in.last 10.overs against set batsman like Hope.

 

[Obaidd]

One hell of a shot against the dipping ball reversing

Hope is a class player man!

His average is touching 50 and his career SR is 78. No issues with this combo?

 

[Zeshan547]

Riz just gifted initiative and momentum to WI by bowling his buddy Nawaz.

 

[Rana]

Really poor by Nawaz today.

This was the best spin wicket of the series

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Hard to imagine now that at one time I'd watch full ODIs. Now it feels so tedious, long, repetitive, & boring.

 

[Rana]

His average is touching 50 and his career SR is 78. No issues with this combo?

Sr should improve

But his innings today has been sublime!

 

[Obaidd]

why the hell is Fool Kaptana bowling this fake all rounder in death overs, where is Abrar ?

When you’re playing 2 fast bowlers only, this happens

 

[Zeshan547]

He might bowl him his 10th over also, how retard he has been. That

 

[TheSultan]

What is Nawaz actually good for?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

His average is touching 50 and his career SR is 78. No issues with this combo?

Since Jan 2023, his strike rate has been 94.4

 

[Obaidd]

What’s the par score here?

 

[PakPremi]

Riz just gifted initiative and momentum to WI by bowling his buddy Nawaz.

He has to bowl the spinners Talat is untested.

 

[Rana]

no flight at all

Hope will send you out of the park!

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan need minimum of 3 full time pacers in every game.

 

[Rana]

Wow

Just wow

 

[Zeshan547]

When you’re playing 2 fast bowlers only, this happens

But he have more than enough overs left from fast bowlers and Abrar. And Hassan Ali also hasn't been expensive either.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hope has been lucky in this innings

 

[Zeshan547]

Bkwas short pitch bowling by Abrar in this over. That too on a spinning pitch l,ruined his own figures.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol this is a massacre

250+ and this game is done at the half-way stage itself

 

[shah_1]

The ball is reversing and Rizzu Lara being brain dead

 

[batandballbattle]

fantastic shifting of gears from hope
this is why WI are still the best in the world when batting in the last 10

 

[AZulfi]

Windies slowly but surely moving towards a comfortable even formidable total

Shai Hope playing a captains knock

Anything over 250 will not be an easy chase given our unpredictable batting not to mention the added pressure of a series decider

 

[Greenstorm]

But he have more than enough overs left from fast bowlers and Abrar. And Hassan Ali also hasn't been expensive either.

Abrar got the same treatment. Real issue is playing only 2 fast bowlers. Faheem and Talat are not the answer.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Wow

Just wow

Nice, need 40 more to make this match interesting

 

[batandballbattle]

The ball is reversing and Rizzu Lara being brain dead

missed a trick by not having 3 pacers

 

[Zeshan547]

There used to be a time when Opposition feared Pak death bowling, Now it's Us Pakistani fans who are frightened from our death bowling.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

WinViz

48:52 to Windies

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Shai Hope is Much more Skilled than Babar Azam.. Although his Career SR is 78 which is low by modern standards but he does have ability to play big shots when needed , Something Babar cant

 

[mango_bite77]

Lot of yorkers being bowled, after a long time.

 

[Greenstorm]

With the rule change, captains should focus on bowling pacers after 35th over.

 

[Rana]

Stand up and clap this innings by Hope!

What an innings

Zindabad buddy!

 

[Rana]

100 off 83 balls on this deck

Wow

 

[PakPremi]

A real good knock by Hope.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Terrific ton by Shai Hope. He's been a hard carry in this match. Supports have been mostly useless

 

[Ahmed216]

Really admire Hope's determination.

Brilliant knock but no OTT celebrations

 

[batandballbattle]

captain's knock

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Abrar got the same treatment. Real issue is playing only 2 fast bowlers. Faheem and Talat are not the answer.

You Do not bowl your Spinners in late 40s to a set batter..Rizwan is a dud.. Your premier Spinner wont finish his qouta despite bowling well and Nawaz was Given Extra over which shifted the momentum of innings

 

[neonoir]

Is Shai Hope a better Odi batsmen than Babar

The stats are eerily similar

 

[Usman Chadda]

Will be interesting to see what blessings in disguise we try to figure out after this game.

 

[Rana]

Windies have enough I recon

Bonus runs now

 

[TheSultan]

Naseem shah bowling good Yorkers, but just too slow. Someone please give these kamzors more strength.


Same with Hasan Ali

 

[TheSultan]

Cheers Riz, great keeping dumbo

 

[Rana]

Loo jee Kaptana yeh kya Kar diya pakhana?

5 wides

 

[Rana]

Greaves my man.

Proper batter

 

[Zeshan547]

I think Pak pacers will be the most thankful for this rule change of one ball after 34th over. Now they will have something to work with. Thankfully they still know how to reverse it.

 

[Greenstorm]

Ball is reversing but they can't hit yorkers. Wasim Jr would have thrived in these conditions.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Greaves putting pakistan in grave danger

 

[mominsaigol]

Just turned the tv back on, Solid century from Hope, Advantage WI now

 

[Rana]

Ball is reversing but they can't hit yorkers. Wasim Jr would have thrived in these conditions.

He reverses it anyways

 

[Obaidd]

Captain wk-batters playing at number 4 Hope and Rizwan comparison. Similar career strike rates (riz with the slight edge). Hope with a significantly higher average.
Who will get the bragging rights tonight?

 

[Zeshan547]

Can Bobby Kahay ka King ever Play such inning?

 

[Rana]

Just turned the tv back on, Solid century from Hope, Advantage WI now

I ain’t seen an innings of this quality for ages

Reminds me of Lara’s innings v South Africa in the opener of the 2003wc

 

[Obaidd]

Is Shai Hope a better Odi batsmen than Babar

The stats are eerily similar

At number 4 and as wk-batter, comparison should be with Rizwan

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar will need to play an innings of such quality for the Pakistan side to win the series here.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan look depleted

They are likely losing this.

 

[AZulfi]

Looks like Windies will score 110+ runs during the final 10 overs

 

[Obaidd]

Babar will need to play an innings of such quality for the Pakistan side to win the series here.

before that openers need to survie ten overs

 

[Rana]

It’s 4 all day man

 

[mominsaigol]

I ain’t seen an innings of this quality for ages

Reminds me of Lara’s innings v South Africa in the opener of the 2003wc

Im sure. 105 of 88 is solid in such conditons. Captain clueless captaincy being exposed again.

I pointed this out post Australia series. He has the same issue as shan, just lets it go after pressure is on.

Except Shan has to captain tests where its more common to recover and establish partnerships.

Odi and t20 its harder due to time constraints even if the pitches are flatter and whiteball is easier.

I turned in the tv and I cam tell hes going through the motions again.

 

[Zeshan547]

Very average effort on the boundary by fielder, that should have been stopped.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Atrocious bowling to say the least

 

[batandballbattle]

after the chase wicket a good team would have put the squeeze on and restrict to around 250
our death bowling is nonexistent and crumbles under the slightest pressure

 

[Obaidd]

before that openers need to survie ten overs

5 overs

 

[Rana]

Saikat is such a rubbish umpire on and off the field
