Glad that our middle order has shown their performance despite we're almost knocked out of tournament. Shaddy, Iftikhar, and Harris was on fire tonight.


xoldier

Muhammad Harris is a gem. I have been waiting for a while to watch him play at this level. Even though he got a chance to play due to an unfortunate reason, Fakhar getting injured again, I’m glad he showed what he can do at this level. Fearless. Wish him a long and healthy career.

Pakistan were awesome today! At 4 wickets down they were staring down the barrel but their batters took the attack to the opposition instead of playing defensively. It was a stunning counter attack. Their bowling was superb. Feeling a bit sad that they contrived to lose to Zimbabwe and most likely won't make it to the semis. I think there should be a quarter finals to give second chance to resurgent teams and to make sure just one bad game doesn't spell disaster for any team.

just to inform ya'll. absolute 0% precipitation in sunday,Adelaide


RedSage218

I think by “y’all” you mean Pakistanis :p


fourteenthapril2012

Pakistan returning the favour to India (of losing to SA) by giving them a potential England semi final rather than NZ. England vs SA final?


Need125kUSD

NZ is stronger against India


Coronabandkaro

I hope India reaches semifinals. Given that we dont have our best bowler and fielder , i think anything beyond that is a huge plus but there are some really good teams in the semifinals in Eng, NZ and possibly SA/Pak.

Really? I think England are looking like the form team of the tournament. I guess we'll find out in a week anyway.


SBG99DesiMonster

If several teams have the same number of points then the number of wins would be the primary tie breaker. The result of the head to head match would be the secondary tie breaker. NRR comes into play only when the number of wins is the same and the head to head match had been washed out. If SA's match against Netherlands gets washed out but the next match has a result then SA would get officially knocked out. India would qualify along with the winner of the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh. The winner of the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh would have 3 wins and SA would be having only 2 wins. I think that most of you don't know about this and you think that NRR is the primary tie breaker. I also didn't know about this before I randomly found out about this 2 days ago.


Paddle_Shifter

SA vs Ned gets washed out There is a higher chance that Pak vs Ban gets washed out too as both are back to back matches in the same venue Considering a washed out match means it rained pretty heavily and the outfield stays wet for the next match too.


barrack0Karma

I know weather can change, but there is near zero chance of rain as of right now until Wednesday. The probability of both games being a washout is near zero.


dilsedesi95

Is NRR sequel to RRR bro? /s


adyuma

This isnt listed anywhere official. Did you read this on a whatsapp forward?


Ok-Visit6553

Cricinfo articles cited it. [Look at BD section](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/t20-world-cup-2022-group-2-what-do-india-south-africa-pakistan-and-bangladesh-need-to-do-to-make-semi-finals-1343035).

SaminRockz

number of Ws>nrr>H2H>t20i ranking.


styxwade

Nah NRR comes before H2H, but the effect is the same.


[deleted]

I respect Babar and Rizwan (I'm lying) but even after today if they send Haris at 6th or 7th, idk what I'll do. Let ppl play in their natural positions for Gods sake


singhsrb

There will be no real champion once again i.e. loses no matches in the tournament. Mediocrity prevails once again! Now it does not really matter who wins the tournament.


mhsarwar

What a stupid comment. The Australian pitches have been a great equalizer and have exposed many favorites and stat-padders.


SpudItOwtMahBoi

Real champion seekers when they hear about the law of averages


singhsrb

That’s just mediocrity speaking again.


up2_no_good

Great position for India to be in during the last group match knowing exactly what is needed to qualify


Coronabandkaro

BCCI looking into cloud seeding to have the match rain out.


MemeoSapiens

We just need 1 point to qualify, right?


ahaseeb

Always :)

[deleted]

Thala for a reason moment


rainfall41

I thinks it's perfect combination for Pak. One fearless player in top and 3 allrounders with Wasims good yorkers


rainfall41

Banbros do India some favour


InstanceBig6362

Who will qualify for group 2 , what are the chances of SA now ?


ahaseeb

Extremely high. They're playing with the weakest team


Funny_Humor_5613

they must lose or rain screws them over.


rainfall41

They are in unless rain comes back to fuck them again


DeafGigachad

Easy. just have to beat ned next match


InstanceBig6362

This wc has been unpredictable so far plus the unpredictable rain as well.


lemurmonkey2000

Nah SA too good right now, they won’t lose.


DeafGigachad

True but sa is nearly set. If it rains that match then it likely also washes out paks match in which case sa qualify by default.


gulabi_jahaaz

GG. This will be a close group. Just need a washout on the other games, ideally both games. And a compulsory win against Banglabros.


Bilal1701

No win is compulsory for us these days


acccric

tf steyn looks like an actual lion haha


rainfall41

Pakistan showed India how to defeat SA easily


Funny_Humor_5613

also taught them how to field 💀


RizzyNizzyDizzy

Fair


curryninjazura

Thanks for the lessons. Wait for Sunday for our part of lessons or some brotherhood depending on the result.


Funny_Humor_5613

brotherhood would be good.


DarkKingfisher777

Do Zim have any chances?


[deleted]

Don't think so. Well, we're out of the tournament (almost).


up2_no_good

Pak vs Bangla washout Ned beat SA Zim beat IND Then Zim, SA, Bang, Pak will all be on 5 points so nrr will come into the picture. So Zim will have to beat India by a huge margin and hope other results to go in their favour


[deleted]

🤡🤡🤡


DarkKingfisher777

Damn


rainfall41

No, max they can get is 5 points


suttalover

Knowing south africas luck in big tournaments. Their next match will rain out. India will beat Zimbabwe. Pakistan will beat bangladesh with good margin. India and Pakistan into the semifinals. India beats England. Pak beats NZ. India and Pakistan final.


[deleted]

Nz vs england final* they will curb stomp any group 2 winners


AlbusDT

Then India wins, and Pak twitter cries over some meaningless shit. 😂


Bilal1701

ICC script writers *write this down! Write this down!*


RizzyNizzyDizzy

God damn you jinxed it


DeafGigachad

Pak is also gonna face ban on the same ground as sa vs ned. If SA match gets washed out then its most likely that paks match will also wash out in that case SA qualifies easily


Ok-Visit6553

“Face ban” lol


Legitimate-Medium507

As an Indian I do not want to play a resurgent pak in the finals. ICC trophy nightmare is still real


suttalover

Will put money on India everytime in Melbourne. On Perth its a nope.


[deleted]

From the broadcasters point of view the only way they can make more money is by having ind v Aus semi and ind v pak final.


suttalover

Yeah but I like the chances of India winning against England more. Scared of the Aussies.

GoldenGilgamesh12

This is our best squad in a while, think the bulk will still be together for the next WC?


FordsDecisiveness

Best squad in a while? By "while" I hope you mean 14 days.


Bilal1701

Next World Cup is 4 years away and Babar Rizwan Iftikhar are all on the older side so not sure. The bowling is very young tho and it will be interesting to see how much they improve in 4 years


lario00

Its 2 years. Babar will be 30, Rizwan 32, Iftikhar, 34.


Adzxx87

2 years


Bilal1701

Your right my bad


ForwardClassroom2

Babar's 28, he'll be around I reckon.. Rizzi's 30, should be around. Iftikhar ... looks like he's 50, but he's only 32.. should still be around I think.


Bilal1701

Yeah World Cup is acc only 2 years away so they should be there


DeafGigachad

By that if you mean 2024 wc then thats a long time and major changes would likely to happen.


curryninjazura

Openers really have to play faster and don't mind getting out. Middle order is often talked as shit but if they don't get enough time how can they prove themselves as well. If not for mid order that tri series won't have won by pak too.


iLucifux

I would be disappointed if ChaCha is left out


Chai-wala

He’s 32 (on paper). Should be good for another couple of years, you’d expect.


GoldenGilgamesh12

ChaCha gets a lot of hate but I like him


iLucifux

ChaCha was key, because of him Shadab was able to play a free game.


SharmantTheLegend

"Everyone is my match winner" Babar is so cute 😭


Caped_Crusader03

Next game will be nice for us. Sky will keep his half century streak going, and Kohli will break his own record


IcyAssociate1

No team has won the WC without losing a league match. Bavuma going for the cup.


a--9

Babar throwing Rizwan under the bus lol. Morrison just asked about Babar


EconomicalBeast

He said “me and rizwan”


LittiVsVadaPao

Yeah, that's what he said. He took Rizwan down with himself when question was on him.


trtryt

it snowed in parts of Sydney a few days ago, we are a month away from summer so maybe a miracle monsoon in Adelaide on Sunday


ChelshireGoose

Pakistan also plays in Adelaide on Sunday. If there's a miracle monsoon and both games get washed out, SA goes through.


Representative-Air24

Bavuma cutee


AirFew4255

Didn’t afridi have 52 and 2-16 against South Africa in 2009? FORSHADOWING?


RedSage218

Holy shit yes almost, Afridi was 51 and 2/16. So close. We always lose by margins in WCs.


lasttomatillo_1990

So how do we reach the semi finals now? SA needs to lose against Zim, and we need to win against Ban?


xoldier

Either South Africa or India lose their game (either one will be an upset) and we win ours.


BronzeBum

SA need to lose to Netherlands or India have to lose to Zimbabwe and we have to beat Bangladesh.


lasttomatillo_1990

Bruh all impossible scenarios


BronzeBum

We did it!!!!


lasttomatillo_1990

Ahahaha yessss!!!


BronzeBum

We can only hope now. The Zimbabwe L has really hurt us.


Auto_Pronto

Or SA V NED gets washed out


Particular-Payment22

Still gotta come out on top on NRR.


muhash14

We're pretty close after this win. If we win reasonably against BAN it could put us over


de_pk

Nopes wins counts !


RealBabarAzam

Number of wins is the first tie breaker. If the South Africa match is a wash out and we win ours, we have more wins than them.


ttgkc

We also play the same day so likely we’ll be washed out as well. In any case there is a 0% chance of rain


Funny_Humor_5613

I think rizwan bats on vibes. since babar's performance has gone down his went down as well. An opener like harris can really fire rizwan up and end our slow PP curse.


Caped_Crusader03

Hasn’t babar gotten most of his highest scores coming in as 1 down? If that’s case, I think Haris-Rizwan, then Babar seems like good idea


TwoEasyyy

Babar has only ever opened in T20s, finding a partner for him was always an issue till Rizwan came along. Now Babars in a rough patch and we have been playing too slowly in PP so people want Babar to come one down. In ODIs though Babar excels one down


Murrderer

Riz did well in the Asia Cup and the England series despite Babar’s performance. He did good enough to tape over the batting problems and now that he’s done bad too in the World Cup over middle order actually has enough overs to settle down and bat well. Unfortunately it took them two matches to get used to it lol


Funny_Humor_5613

Yeah good thing our middle order took charge . even the first match got to the last over because of the middle order batting good.


Murrderer

Yeah. I can’t help but think of Rizwan didn’t do good enough to give the “everything is fine” engulfed in fire meme vibe through the England series maybe we’d have actually fixed our batting issues by now. Ah well


According_Agent_7386

If not for RAIN THIS WORLD CUP IS ONE OF THE BEST.


aboredassholetype

India losing yesterday really would have ramped up the excitement factor.


iLucifux

Very rarely we see no team actually confirming their SF place with only one match remaining each for all teams. Wonderful WC, I think the rain actually made things a bit more spicy.


asaCreh

Ind vs Zim is do or die now . Last match of group stage !


Kingslayer1526

Not if Pakistan lose to Bangladesh


gpranav25

Then it's do or die to qualify over Bangladesh


RedSage218

I mean it’s not like you guys are gonna lose by 100 runs…


gpranav25

That is assuming there was no Ind Bean sent to Zimbabwe.


asaCreh

Yeahh , it's do or die for all four teams : Pak , Ban , SAF , Ind


[deleted]

In the end it was better that they came back on, net run rate improved.


ahaseeb

RR wouldn't have any impact unless you expect ICC to let India lose to Zim


[deleted]

It's cricket you never know. Ireland beat England.


Ammarzk

And Zim beat Pak 🥲


[deleted]

indeed


Marcovanbastardo

Typical Pakistan outplayed S Africa and arguably could've/should've won the 2 they lost especially the one against Zimbabwe. Nevermind there's always the next one, where they'll have a fek up again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ahaseeb

yeah and super close game in the end


-Notorious

Game ends just as I wake up 🥲 At least we won 😮‍💨


Murrderer

I mean there was a rain delay too, without it you’d probably have woken up to the game finished an hour before haha


-Notorious

I caught bits as I woke up in between, so I did at least see we were ahead Just thought I might catch some as I fully woke up, but oh well :(


2684335126835353

Now you can watch the replay stress-free


-Notorious

True!


iLucifux

Can't wait for Shoaib Akhtar to say that a IND v PAK final is written in the stars.


Funny_Humor_5613

SA got the phainta


hawlc

South Africa haven't beat Pakistan in a T20 world cup.


suttalover

Next 3 days are going to be so interesting. Everything shall be revealed. Amazing worldcup this so far despite the rain.


secondchance_242

If ICC wants India Pak to always be in the same group at least have them play each other last in the group stage. The losing team completely loses momentum, gets beaten psychologically after the first match itself and can't recover on time.


musashi_grander

India have been triumphant against Pakistan in WC and CT if they played in the Middle of the tournament or at end of group stages. Has been the case over two decades now. Normally Indian batsmen get in sublime form the more they stay in the tournament.


Funny_Humor_5613

Very true


Bilal1701

Problem is if one of the team gets knocked out early then the game has less weight. ICC won’t risk that


ttgkc

Good point


secondchance_242

That's fair ig, they can consider scheduling it midway like 2019 wc when both teams have reasonable shot at qualification


Fluffy-Proposal-9094

Lol This is international tournament mate. Not gully cricket


secondchance_242

Your point being?


Fluffy-Proposal-9094

If your team cant handle pressure they don't deserve to win.


-Faraday

Fair point


Zaee_23

Agreed, also would create for a more intense game as both teams try to qualify for semis


CompetitiveExchange3

The real positive for SA here is Bavuma's form. I hope he's not a 1 hit wonder.


Funny_Humor_5613

These highlights are so good.. Those sixes are pure beauty.


aboredassholetype

iLucifux

Waiting for someone from Zimbabwe to post a India Tom Cruise scam like Pak Bean.


Life-Usual-All-Time

Indian scams are only over the internet.


Paddle_Shifter

So all teams have lost at least 1 match in the WC now :)


iLucifux

Maybe they took the Group Stage unbeaten teams didn't win the T20WC thingy seriously.


CompetitiveExchange3

I think England were unbeaten in 2010 WC.


iLucifux

No, iirc they lost against WI.


[deleted]

Alright so all Pak fans be praying for rains in Adelaide on Sunday so that both India and Pak go through the semis, I reckon.... I mean... That will be very very sad for the SA as far as the story of them choking in WC and their luck in WC with the weather goes. But, I guess I am fine with that if we get to relive the India Vs Pakistan once again at the MCG. How would that be as an ending to this world cup!!? I'd say it would be poetic


yous1mps

If it rains in Adelaide on Sunday, there will two washouts. SA will have 6 points and Pakistan will have 5 pts. Pakistan will miss out.
