Pak vs New Zealand: Worldcup 2019 Critical Match

[crankthatskunk]

Once we get to 150 , New Zeland will give up

You wish. Did you see last two overs. Sohail can get out any time. They are bowling in the rough outside his off stump, he had been saved few times already, anytime, he would give a catch. It is going to be very difficult, NZ have two very close catchers in. It is very hard.

Hafeez got out as pressure was building up and he wanted to ease it... stupid shot.. sure, but that guy needs support and appreciation from all of us. He has done his part, there are 4 other players who need to come and play their part as well....
Go Pakistan....

No Haris is struggling against left arm spinner (NZ's only full spinner) who has 3 overs left atm once he's gone the pitch doesn't assist the fast bowlers as much. This is also a pitch where once you get in it gets easier which you can see from how fool Hafeez was playing.

Approaching 150 , one of Babr or Harris should accelerate the score
would assume Harris to take the Lead to get boundries

Should accelerate between 150-200 runs

We have wickets in hand

Sarfaraz
Shadab
Imad
Wahab

No need to accelerate, just keep going at same pace. Just getting 3-4 singles and a boundary every other over is easy win.

Ok, lets test the theory.
Against Australia got out on the boundary against the bowling of part time bowler, Finch.
Today got out on the boundary against the bowling of Williamson, a part time bowler.
Got out against SA on the boundary against the bowling of a part time bowler.

Hafiz is in the habit of reliving the pressure and put the team under pressure.
Good from most experience player, really good.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Runs Needed and ball are now Equal Runs needed 96- Balls 97 , we are poised at 142

• Players should take aggressive 2 Runs

Should Accelerate , as it will get harder and harder with ball's running out take risk now

I could see the shadow of Virat in Babar while he is batting.. that class and determination makes him different from rest of other pakistani batsman.. still early days.. he will be refined..

The pitch just became so spinning, difficult, even Williamson is spinning like hell.

PAK need 84 runs in 84 balls at 6 rpo

Pakistan
154/3 (36.0)

I'm really happy to see Babar emulating Williamson, I think Williamson is perfect #3 for him to learn from. That little dab to third man is sooo aggravating as fielding side and he's done that a lot this innings.

 

[Asian.Century]

Babar Azam is a class Player, big shot in a tense situation. Beautiful Player.



Playing a match winning knock. Amazing!

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.

Because it’s a USED PITCH. I don’t think they’ll use the same pitch, England v India. Am sure Ecb will try get a flat wicket. Then that same wicket might be used between Ind v BD

 

[American Pakistani]

Need to start hitting few boundaries until the score reaches 210 215. Now the balls and runs required are almost same.

And to think Pakistan was playing junky Shoaib Malik for 3-4 games in place of Haris Sohail!
