Pak vs New Zealand: Worldcup 2019 Critical Match

[litman]

hafiz cant face fast bowlers nor he can face spinners. so what is he doing actually? afraid of ferguson and afraid of santner. i think he may be comfortable if some bowler from women cricket team bowls to him.

Hafeez gone, stupid shot.

PAK need 128 runs in 150 balls at 5.08 rpo

 

[LeGenD]

Hafeez out.

Partnership broken by Williamson.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well done Professor 32 scored on difficult pitch

• It was 66 Run partnership between Baber and Hafeez I expected 50 only but they scored 66 over achieved

Strange selection , first tried to play failed sweep shot , got angry went for a 1 knee drop Pakistani style slog and out

Its a stright forward 1 run , 2 run game

Hafiz out on a mindless shot, trying to hit captain out of the ground, caught at boundary.

Professor is a school kid in reality. No maturity, when the innings going well, you are guiding your team towards victory, why would you play a mindless shot!!!

 

[Dalit]

Hafiz really adding unnecessary pressure.

Pakistan should win from here. Remain calm and keep taking doubles and singles.

Sarfaraz should have come to bat instead of Haris

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Sarfaraz should have come to bat instead of Haris

None sense he is a fighting captain he is training for for that big fight

• 150 runs is the psychological barrier in this game

 

[PakSword]

None sense he is a fighting captain he is training for for that big fight

Which big fight?

This is a big fight.. The rough areas on pitch are making it very difficult for the left-hand Haris. We needed a calmed down batsman at this stage.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Sarfaraz is on special program , so he can prove he is fighting captain

 

[crankthatskunk]

Santner is bowling beautifully. Ball is turning.
Pakistanis are like whopping Kangaroos, can't play spin, can't play fast bowling, can't play short balls.
Why are and how they reached the international stage!!

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Once we get to 150 , New Zeland will give up

Pakistan does need to accelerate score a bit


Harris and Baber Partnership @ 17 runs

This pitch in Birmingham is behaving like the same where we in India win our Test matches inside 3 days. Interestingly, our next two matches against England and Bangladesh are on the same ground. Pakistan deserves to be in the semis if they win here.
