Nawaz alone given 2 losses in a row to Pakistan
A blessing in disguise. Pakistan needed this wake up call.
Now the next 8 points are up for grabs and Pakistan is gonna play like cornered tigers!!
There is something wrong with Pakistani Cricket Team, on paper they are very strong, the strongest T20 team for a while. Cant believe they lost to Zimbabwe!
Pakistan's record in Australia the last 25 years across formats is shocking. Yet to win a single T20I there, 5 straight whitewashes in test series, even in ODIs minnow WI (again a weak tam in those conditions) bounced them out in 2015 WC.
Unable to find answers to how to cope in those conditions, also has become sort of a mental block. Even he last match against India, they would have won everywhere except Australia, sure Indian fightback was praiseworthy but don't think we would have won that in any other country. Something happens to PCT in Australia.
Now only hope is India winning south africa which they might lose deliberately.

Zimbabwe will be beating Bangladesh the way they are playing....
Lol
Why you always say we? Always say Pakistan. "We" word belongs here to Pakistanis only.
Why are you acting so hurt when you ain't even a Pakistani?
Shaheen is a fast bowler and can't even run man....
That was an easy 2 there, even the keeper fumbled and you still couldn't make it?? What a hack, lol.
I agree with Mamoon, we deserve this humiliation..
Zimbabwe produced one of the all-time World Cup upsets with a brilliant performance in Perth to beat Pakistan by one run in a match that went down to the very last delivery.
Pakistan needed 11 to win off the final over of a pulsating evening, and that equation came down to three from three with the well-set Mohammad Nawaz at the crease.
But 25-year-old Brad Evans produced three stunning deliveries right when it mattered.
First, he fizzed through a pacy bouncer that Nawaz failed to connect with.
And a miscue off the penultimate ball had Nawaz caught at mid-off by captain Craig Ervine, a wicket that saw both batters sink to their knees, with heartbreak again for Nawaz in the second successive match.
Shaheen Shah Afridi punted the final ball down the ground, tearing back in a desperate attempt for a second run to tie the match. Wicket-keeper Regis Chakabva fumbled the throw at first, but recovered to whip off the bails with Afridi still short of his ground, sparking jubilant scenes among the Zimbabwe players and supporters.
Pakistan's flawed reply
Pakistan had made a measured start to the chase of 131 to win, but two huge Powerplay wickets gave Zimbabwe a sniff as the big-name opening pair both went cheaply.
Babar Azam was squared up by a lovely piece of bowling from Brad Evans to be sent back for just four runs off nine balls. And the outstanding Blessing Muzarabani cleaned up Mohammad Rizwan via an inside edge for 14 (16).
After Iftikhar Ahmed was also removed cheaply, Pakistan seemingly got the match under control with a solid partnership between Shan Masood and Shadab Khan to reach 88/3 with six and a half overs still remaining.
But the inspired Zimbabwe all-rounder Sikandar Raza took two wickets in two balls to remove Shadab and Haider Ali, before having Masood stumped in his very next over to give Zimbabwe hope and set up a big finish.
Zimbabwe’s flying start
After opting to bat first, Zimbabwe got off to a flier as a daring Wessley Madhevere and skipper Craig Ervine played some eye-catching shots inside the first two overs. With five boundaries inside the first three overs, Zimbabwe had a fabulous start, racing away at 10 runs per over.
Some of that early momentum toned down when Ervine was sent back by Haris Rauf and his partner got trapped in front by Wasim in the following over. Shadab Khan prized out Milton Shumba before Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza went about the resurrection work.
Things turned south pretty quickly when Shadab sent back Williams and Chakabva off successive deliveries, the latter dismissed off a spectacular grab at first slip by Babar Azam.
Shadab completed a brilliant spell of 4-0-23-3 but there was more in store for Zimbabwe from the other end. In the very next over after losing two wickets off back-to-back balls to Shadab, Zimbabwe lost a further two as Mohammad Wasim dismissed Raza and Luke Jongwe off successive balls.
95/3, and what appeared to be a solid start, quickly turned into 95/7 as Pakistan's bowlers went on a rampage in Perth. Eventually, they put up 130/8 on board with some help from Brad Evans down the order.
It seemed unlikely to be enough, but a superb bowling display from Zimbabwe ensured otherwise.
ICC
Totally agreed. A new t20 team led by Haider ali. Drop babar rizwan and whole middle order.
Mr.Beans revenge has been fulfilled
Ramiz Raja is a gonner. If the PML-N needed an excuse to get rid of him, they are going to use this
What 8 point? 3 games left.
Our players should only be paid if and when they win. With one foot out of the tournament we are depending on India to defeat South Africa then we defeat them as well. At least India who have not qualified yet will try to win over the South Africans. We don't deserve to qualify for the semi's at all when our team is full of players who are related to politicians and army generals.I think somebody should tell Shadab that he is bowler who can bat a bit. Accept your limitations and bat accordingly. Dont try to be someone you are not.

Always feel that Babar is is overrated because he can't perform under pressure. He couldn't even take us home versus Zimbabwe for heaven sake. The middle order is worst in world cricket so much that our tail is better then the top four or five.
It is clear that these players are in the team due to their contacts not talent. Folks the team is a current reflection of the state of the country that is the ultimate fact and until the state of the country improves the Cricket will suffer. The army song says "Punjabi hum, Pathan hum, Kashmiri hum aur Balochi hum" then why are players from Baluchistan, AJK and Sindh hardly given a chance?
Indian fans are rightfully laughing at usOur players should only be paid if and when they win.

The first person who should be sent back is Haider Ali he's been given enough chances
Ya know ask Saqi or even Babar in detail as to why we lost and they'll say something like it was ultimately "Allah's will." No it wasn't at all Allah's will rather our team's inability to soak up the pressure against a second rate side. No other team will get religion involved as a means to vindicate themselves and escape criticism other then our losers. If it was Allah's will then there is no point in playing in the first place!
Played Zimboks. Giantkilling intensifies....
Zimbabwe beat Australia earlier this month I think in an ODI, now Pakistan in the WC. Can't be underestimated on these picthes with their surprisingly effective quicks. In the qualifiers they beat Ireland who went on to stun England yesterday.
I will tell my kids that this win was already scripted when in 2016 we decided to send a fake Mr.bean, or as Chisoru calls him, Pakbean.
Pakbean would get a police escort as he went on a convoy in the streets of Harare. Smiling, fist pumping and point to the crowd. Pics were taken and money was given.
6 years later, Zimbabweans figured it out that he was the Fake Mr.bean.
Zimbabwe, who has not played main group matches for a long time, decides to script a win specifically just to get in group B. As they entered group B, they first showed Pakistan how bad they were by playing badly against South Africa.
On the eve of Pakistan vs Zimbabwe, as Pakistan were chill, Zimbabwe plot their revenge. They say before launching an attack you should always give warnings, its international law.
So a night before the game, Mr. Chasaru gave warning directly to the PCB. He tagged the PCB what Pakistan did, and that the Pakbean we had sent, they would be taking its revenge. He even said, we should wish it was raining, because the whole nation is riled up.
We were taken by surprise, and than it happened. Zimbabwe, a team we haven't lost to in years in icc tournament, we lose to them by 1 run.
And that's folks how Zimbabwe took revenge of Pakbean against us
Shadab is vice captain and is not in any way under threat by Shan
They should send Yasin Shah to Zimbabwe and Bill him as Lionel Messi.
That will serve these Zimbabwean fans right
Humor is a mature coping mechanism.
But it doesn't hide a terrible result.
As scary as it gets S Korea 2-0 Germany

Oh forget it. Even if India beat SA, that is not going to help Pakistan. Right now India has 4 points, SA 3 and Pakistan 0.
Pakistan's only hope is to win all three matches they have remaining against BAN, NL and SA, and hope for a miracle. And possibly even BAN fancy their chances against Pakistan now.
bro, I still support the team. What has happened has happened.
Shadab bats like a king in the PSL and bats at no 4 for Islamabad United. That tells you everything about the quality of the PSL.
Leaving everything aside that man Nawaz lost this match. 4 runs and 4 balls he got panicked and tried to clear the boundary instead of taking 2s or 1s
