Zimbabwe (130/8) upset Pakistan (129/8) to win by 1 run in Group 2 thriller

[jnaveen1980]

127 kph short ball not rising

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Finally connects one

watch out for nudge towards off side for no run.

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[pakistanisgreat]

No urgency showing

 

[Asif321]

Mandatory Rizwan break

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aaron Rizwan

 

[D/DAhmed]

Pakistanis should boycott Gray Nicholls to teach these two a lesson. Losing their sponsorships should cause them to re-evaluate their batting or give up their opening spots

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should try to chase this down in 15-16 overs.

 

[Rana]

Now he needs 5 minute.

 

[ChTab]

Rizwan again with his theatrics. My GOD he's annoying

 

[imshally81]

Mandatory Rizwan break

Spot on

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the most predictable event is happening

 

[Major]

Man could see some ppl wanted Rizwan to get out.. sad

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar opens his account with a boundary... On our way now

 

[imshally81]

Finally boundary by Babar

 

[10sion]

Babar off the mark in the world cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

They don't have pace to bully batsmen with bouncers.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Mandatory Rizwan break

Becoming too predictable now

 

[PakPremi]

Bowling starting with aunties agonising and spreading negativity,and now same for Pakistani batting. Just enjoy the game.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

12 after 3

 

[jattafridi]

Greatest player on this planet

Babar Azam

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar goes... Damn... In awful form

 

[PakPremi]

Greatest player on this planet

Babar Azam

He ia not happy.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Rizwan is a tailender on these wickets. Horrendous batsman

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Babar gone

 

[10sion]

OUT! babar gone~!

 

[Rana]

Greatest opening pair

Leaves with the required rate far higher

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 13/1 (3.3 overs).

Babar is out.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Softie gone. What a loser with the Bat.

 

[Inswing]

Babar azam gone. Maan he is only good for bilateral series only.

 

[Kianig89]

Horrible tourney for Babar so far Michael Vaughan jinxed him

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar is slightly over rated on this forum.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I guess now we just win the game. forget about the NRR.

 

[boomboomcheema]

First play tuk tuk then leave. Keep chasing the score now.

 

[topspin]

Babar and Rizwan are so bad. I can't believe fans actually rate this opening combination

 

[alone1213]

Time to remove babar from the captaincy.
His batting has gotten even worse.

 

[Kianig89]

We are in for a thrill chase never a dull moment

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Most overrated player in cricket history. Don't understand what's this fuss about?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shan time.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Babar and Shaheen - Pakistan stalwarts struggling

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Now the other anchor will come in, we won't be doing anything with NRR.

 

[Rana]

Big chance for ZImbabwe to build pressure

 

[daytrader]

I guess now we just win the game. forget about the NRR.

Let's hope so

 

[Inswing]

Forget about NRR, lets just win this for now.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar is slightly over rated on this forum.

Extremely*

 

[boomboomcheema]

And another tuk tuk comes. This match going to the final ball.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Babar is a bilateral series merchant, that too against B/C teams and minnows. Doesn’t even deserve to be in the T20 team, very soon his average will drop below 40 and with that awful strike rate he should be packing his bags

 

[Shafi]

Babar's limitation has been exposed badly. He needs some tips from Kohli how to overcome this.

 

[Kianig89]

Shan masood gawd RR will jump to 13 now

 

[ChTab]

ZimBabar can't even score against his favorite opposition. I swear he's only good for bilateral series where opponents played 3rd string bowling attacks

 

[Rana]

Fluke six

 

[Savak]

Babar is too much of a nervous starter on wickets outside his comfort zone. Very over rated and hyped and this is Pakistan's best batsman, tells you about everyone else.

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan with his luck... 6

 

[jattafridi]

Omg poor shot

Better luck next time

 

[alone1213]

LOL ugly from rizwan but a six nonetheless.

 

[Asif321]

With this batting Pakistan don’t deserve to be in SF

 

[PakPremi]

I thought Babar only does well against minnows.
Seriously he looks in terrible form and finds easy ways to get out these days.

 

[topspin]

Babar can't handle the big stage. You can see it when he's batting and from his body language in the field. You can never make a timid person a captain.

 

[NeVerMind]

Wow... Riz top edge flies for a 6 behind the keeper!

 

[Major]

Lovely six by Rizwan.
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] got excited he would get out but now he disappointed

 

[10sion]

Loooool what a 6!

 

[jnaveen1980]

completely mishit lol

 

[t_kaay]

Rizwan looking to pump the run rate

 

[Asif321]

Two more wickets and Pakistan will panic massively

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Rizwan.

Pakistan - 20/1 (4 overs).

 

[Kianig89]

20/1 after 4 overs

 

[Major]

With this batting Pakistan don’t deserve to be in SF

Than y r u watching?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Damn, got lucky.

 

[alone1213]

Now babar is under severe pressure. He has to step down as a captain.

 

[Asif321]

Lovely six by Rizwan.
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] got excited he would get out but now he disappointed

Nothing lovely in that

 

[Shafi]

Most overrated player in cricket history. Don't understand what's this fuss about?

Exactly!!! A nothing special player who cannot perform against better teams.

 

[emranabbas]

That was risky

 

[TheSultan]

Yet again a start with no intent

 

[Rana]

I don’t want Rizwan out [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION]

The longer he stays in

The more he exposes his incompetence

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan batting is completely flop ridiculous

 

[Omer2002]

Just imagine what aussie or english attack will do to us on this pitch

 

[PakPremi]

Babar's limitation has been exposed badly. He needs some tips from Kohli how to overcome this.

Nothing to with his limitations, just not having a good run lately.

 

[Major]

Is it rainy weather?

 

[TheSultan]

Riz is looking like a tailender
