New Zealand v Pakistan | Match 33, World Cup | Edgbaston | June 26, 2019 | Pakistan innings

[lahoriyah1234]

Hafeez has 2 modes against Lockie. Smacking boundaries and barely surviving

Lockie length is excellent any player will struggle apart from babar and kohli.

[darksher]

Imagine if we had bowled well in the later half of NZ innings and restricted them to 150, it’d have been a walk in the park from here.

[Rana]

As threatening as Lockie is, he is offering too much pace to Pakistani batsmen. This is going to backfire for NZ

[BleedGreen]

Santner is on and he’s turning it big...

[Ahmed216]

Pak batsmen and left-arm spinners

[ARK Rafay]

I hope we don't self destruct against Santner

[Syed1]

Smash this china ka Vettori

[Fahdi]

Beauty by Santner

[Plumb]

Santner is on and he’s turning it big...

gotta hit him for few to disturb his line.. else he ll be all over us

[saeed5646]

3000 runs for our star batsmen .2nd fastest

[Slog]

I still have a bad feeling

[Justcrazy]

Rotation of strike is the key here

[Syed1]

I still have a bad feeling

Go to the washroom

[Rana]

What a ripper by Santner

[Gullycricket]

Congrats Bobby

[Nikhil_cric]

Nz exposed here. Lucky to be on the cusp of qualifying tbh. That washed out Game against India was a blessing in disguise

[Justcrazy]

And that makes Babar Azam the second-fastest to 3,000 ODI runs - 68 innings. Amla got there in 57. Viv Richards in 69, and Greenidge, Kirsten, Dhawan, and Root all did it in 72.

Babaar needs to get one defining match winning innings .

[ARK Rafay]

Man why Sarfraz didn't bowled Haris Sohail.

Santner is turning like Murlitharan

[darksher]

Hafeez will probably get out to Santner playing an aggressive shot thinking of him as runs making opportunity.

[Plumb]

I still have a bad feeling

Could be last night's dinner

[saeed5646]

Imad is also left arm spinner guys .Look at santner turn and bite from same pitch

[pakistanisgreat]

santer getting turn

[JellyBro]

Ball spinning and babar getting beat. Not looking good

[Madplayer]

Soon you will see williamson into the attack. Spinning A LOT.

[Sycamore]

Imad bowled rubbish looking at santner now. Pace on here is easy to play.

[amirm]

Who is Pakistan’s best player against spin?

[Rana]

Beautiful bowling by Santner!

[Ahmed216]

Congrats babar for completing 3k runs.
Finishing games like these will help him develop as a player and gain confidence

[Rayyman]

Imad is also left arm spinner guys .Look at santner turn and bite from same pitch

Yea we should send leftie like they did

[GLORY OF '92]

I still have a bad feeling

Same

[Sycamore]

Who is Pakistan’s best player against spin?

Sarfaraz , hafeez

[Rana]

Who is Pakistan’s best player against spin?

The professor himself!

[saeed5646]

Thankfully sodhi is not playing

[DeadBall]

Phainta bowler on. Need to target Neesham.

[cricketfan11]

If there is one player who will want to attack the spinner it is Hafeez,

[Plumb]

about time PP crowd will say.... IF ...... was here he would have been best against spin... Kindly people don't do that

[Rayyman]

Who is Pakistan’s best player against spin?

Malik lol

[lahoriyah1234]

Against satner. They should wait for the ball and not go for it. Judge him for few overs

[Madplayer]

Malik lol

Actually its sarfaraz.

[saeed5646]

Yea we should send leftie like they did

Still won't change the fact imad is useless on turning wicket

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Santner putting Imad's darts into context.

[BleedGreen]

Shaba shaba babar

[Plumb]

Malik lol

expired products are not allowed

[Rana]

I would send Imad in next. Rather have him go up and pinch hit instead of holding him bacl. Need a left hander in

[BleedGreen]

Ooo close

[Rana]

Santner putting Imad's darts into context.

The sad thing is, Pakistan pick imad to bowl darts.

[Syed1]

I would send Imad in next. Rather have him go up and pinch hit instead of holding him bacl. Need a left hander in

It will bring team under serious pressure if he skies one

[Aaaaa]

Man why Sarfraz didn't bowled Haris Sohail.

Santner is turning like Murlitharan

Wo Pakistani kaptaan hi kya jo itni door ka sochay.

[darksher]

Runrate is a bit on downside, need to up the ante, they’re either blocking or hitting boundaries no strike rotation.

[Madplayer]

Bobby darling what the hell are you doing

[ARK Rafay]

Good news is that Santner can bowl only 10 overs

[Sherazkhalid]

We will raise the hopes and then go back to dust. Khambay per charha key ceeri khanch lo.

[BleedGreen]

I would send Imad in next. Rather have him go up and pinch hit instead of holding him bacl. Need a left hander in

So he loses his wicket early and adds to Paks chasing pressure?

[lahoriyah1234]

I would send Imad in next. Rather have him go up and pinch hit instead of holding him bacl. Need a left hander in

Why Not harris. No one will come because these 2 will finish it off inshallah

[shah_1]

Shadab bowled awful on this pitch

He is match ka mujrim if we lose this

[Dingolfy]

Nz exposed here. Lucky to be on the cusp of qualifying tbh. That washed out Game against India was a blessing in disguise

Didn’t you watch the warm-up match where they ran through our batting line-up? Even in the last series, boult had our top 3 in all sorts of trouble. So they are capable of beating us.
And this match is far from over.

[member250]

Wow, our spinners didn't turn that much at all.

[Slog]

Man why Sarfraz didn't bowled Haris Sohail.

Santner is turning like Murlitharan

Lol comparing Santner (quality spinner) with Haris (barely part time)

[topspin]

Malik lol

No he isn't. The series in SA earlier this year, were the first signs he could no longer bash spin like he used too.

[JellyBro]

Wicket coming any moment now. They are getting beat every delivery almost

[imshally81]

::

[Rayyman]

I would send Imad in next. Rather have him go up and pinch hit instead of holding him bacl. Need a left hander in

Can't play spin

[shah_1]

Four runs

[Gullycricket]

Why so much respect for Neelam

[saeed5646]

Thank you neesham much needed boundary

[Greenstorm]

Imad is also left arm spinner guys .Look at santner turn and bite from same pitch

We should drop Imad for Asif in the next match.

[BleedGreen]

Beautiful from babar

[Sherazkhalid]

Wicket coming up. Things are getting bit too tense.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan is not rotating the strike well here .

[Mainul]

So Pakistan is winning it easily

[topspin]

Wow, our spinners didn't turn that much at all.

Pitch will turn more as the match progresses, that's why.

[member250]

Shadab bowled awful on this pitch

He is match ka mujrim if we lose this

2 overs that went for 25 runs changed the game. From what was looking like 200 at best turned in to 240.

[AAli98]

Trouble with babar is he doesnt know how to rotate strike. Likes to look elegant driving and even defending but ones and twose are crucial to keep opposition on back foot. How they play locky will b important - cant let him settle by playing dots.

[Syed1]

If these two are still batting till 138 NZ heads will drop

[Slog]

Phainta bowler on. Need to target Neesham.

2-3 wickets

[imshally81]

Great running

[BleedGreen]

Good running

[member250]

Pitch will turn more as the match progresses, that's why.

Usually the difference isn't that much.

[Mainul]

Runrate is a bit on downside, need to up the ante, they’re either blocking or hitting boundaries no strike rotation.

Pakistan always do that

[Rayyman]

We should drop Imad for Asif in the next match.

Next match is vs Afg
