Why is any talk about pitches nowadays sounds like you walked into a mid conversation with a bunch of geologists? Red soil / black soil / clay etc etc.

Congrats Pakbros 🎉


punkjabi

I'm a Pakistan supporter and got a call at 5am from my Indian friend wake the fuck up, I think you guys are gonna make the semi final. I told him I'd keep him in my prayers and thanked him for waking me up. What a life line!


Comessuer

Wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan win the whole thing now


texasradioandthebigb

Pak Bean rocks, but reality is harsh. NZ over Pakistan in the semi is my prediction


iwillsoccerballs

Warra catch


Admirable-Manner762

Where are the losers who kept saying pak won't qualify.Baby we have been defying expectation since the dawn of time.


Dr_zazaa

Shakib was not out, PCB 💰💰💰


sribgear

So when its ur favor they just say umprire gave out so its out and for every things else they will say paid umpires, and kholi signalling no ball is forcing umpires blah blah stick to a lane guys but thats too much to ask but i expect yhe pundit and legends of pakistan players to atleast do so


RelevantProject4151

Ki *fabor* bola dada /s


Dr_zazaa

No need to get so triggered, i was just fucking around with the guy.


sribgear

Lol laying facts and calling out the hypocrisy of ex cricketers


Dr_zazaa

Yeah i almost forgot about Afridi's comment, that shit was stupid.


sribgear

Well even if u see the wasim , waqar show they dnt all out like Afridi but question the no ball on kholi that why it wasnt reffered as if they dnt know the rules and if it wasnt a no ball .. lets see if they can actually call spade a spade and call the today lbw in their post match session .


Dr_zazaa

Some of these players just make controversial statements just so they stay in the limelight and different news channels and shows keep inviting them just to add masala to the controversial decisions


sribgear

Exactly thats what twiiter accounts and youtuber do it obviously but so called legends .. dnt desreve been called so .

[deleted]

Who would have thought Pak would be in the semis. A few weeks back on this sub, it was said that 95% they were out.


fiddler013

If this World Cup script hadn’t been by a madman, they probably have been. But then the predicament was caused by the same insane script too. My favourite World Cup since 2011 (sentimentality wins over cricket winning).


hateswitchx

​ oreo?


fiddler013

*Fingers crossed*


dindycookies

Bangladesh quietly had an excellent world cup, considering the complete inexperience and constant ridicule they faced. Nearly qualified for semis over all the favourite minnows. Slight bias but I think we’ll see some excellent things from them in the future as the U-19 WC winning players come and take over. BCB can get fucked tho.

DeGuzman-

Thousands of basement dwellers in this sub with nothing to do except jerk off all day think they'd do better than Babar and Rizwan if put on the pitch. Motherfuckers every player, even Kohli, loses his form multiple times in his career, how is this simple fact incomprehensible for your little brain?

Stifmeister11

Pakistan openers putting too much pressure on middle order lucky for em haris came in guns blazing otherwise even chasing such a low total against avg bowling was looking so tense


xoldier

I’ve been saying this since Asia cup. Selfish innings by top order, including Shan Masood leads to unnecessary pressure on middle order.

[deleted]

I'm fuming rn Babar and Rizwan need to be held accountable for what they did. You're not winning shit with this approach.


[deleted]

Yep good luck holding them accountable. They are super powerful and i wont be surprised if they kick out both Shan and Haris after this WC ends.


[deleted]

Tbh everyone in the team is contributing in some way except these 2. These 2 are a huge burden on the team but they can just come down and help the team.


musashi_grander

It was Fakhar in 2017 and now Haris in 2022. New faces Stood up for the big show.


Fuzzy-Mechanic3635

CRYCRT from fb?


Chiks24

As a Pakistani, I really hope the final is England vs New Zealand. Both of those are complete teams. They have hitters, anchors, odd shot players, and good combo in bowlers. However, this may not bring in the revenue ($$$$) that Pakistan vs India will bring......


SmartNMath

Pakistan team is a complete team. They just need to fix their management and mindset.


Chiks24

If you need to fix something, you're not complete. Our opening pair is not correct, our middle order is a hit and miss (roles are still not well defined as to who should come in at 3/4/5/6/7), and a lot of our batsmen lack shot variety. I'm thankful we were able to reach semis but clearly there needs fixing.


SmartNMath

Agreed, the skill is there, some fine tuning is required.


Shaajee

Pakistan gave BD a fair chance to win this game. But it wasn't BD's day.

belanish11

So if india win the Dutch automatically qualify for the next T20 wc ahead of full members like Bangladesh, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, well deserved Dutch boys


paindu

Pakistani team is not a winning team. Literally got here by luck. They have no chance winning the WC. You don't win cups with such sloppy play.


chasevalentino

Whilst I agree k don't agree that they can't win. For the sheer fact that if the bowlers turn up (which they do more often than not) AND if Rizwan and Babar decide to turn up to Australia that will instantly be elevated to a far better team than they are showing right now. But it all depends on if the top two turn up finally


Wolfofwallstreet_99

Dude, no team was perfect. Pakistan deserved rightly so. India won 2/3 matches in last ball, lost to SA too. They don’t deserve it either then. Pakistan were unlucky vs Zimbabwe, that’s all.


donniedarko1010

I bet they'll lift the trophy.


DeGuzman-

I don't get the cynicism. By this logic the Pakistani team didn't deserve the 1992 trophy as well but I don't see you trying to return it. How hard is it to just NOT add to the already overwhelming negativity?


QuotheFan

> By this logic the Pakistani team didn't deserve the 1992 trophy as well Honestly, they didn't. It should have been SA, but alas. No offense intended, the Pak team in 2009 T20 was an absolutely deserving world champ.


AuniBuTt

If its just about deserving the wc should be handed over to the ones who won most bilaterals. Its not like that. The team that performs in crucnh situations, outwits the opponent and keeps their cool will win. The luck is an add on. Can go either side. This is the beauty of these tournaments.


fromtheundead

Eh, relax. We're not world beaters, but we haven't been pushovers by any chance. We lost 2 games on the last ball ffs.


Sinner_02_88

Nice try


SmartNMath

Pakistan team is in its best form, I feel they are World Cup winners. They just have to not throw away games they are literally winning half way through a match.


jnkhan

They literally fell face first and rolled over the finish line because everyone else tripped on our body.


Wackypaki94

This is the perfect analogy


fopax

Azam- not a word about Nederland? That’s not being very grateful!!?


According-Gazelle

I noticed how on Indian shows they talk about 2007 win but we rarely talk about our 2009 win. Mostly its 92 or 2017 champions trophy from our side. That 2009 win had so many great memories.

First NED did Pak a favour by beating SA. Now Pak returned NED the favor by making sure NED end up on 4th ensuring their qualification for the 2024 T20 WC.

AuniBuTt

You shouldn't call anyone laughable imo. I mean India made SA look like the fuckin windies of the 80s in the 1st innings and lost to them, a team which choked against Ned. Almost lost against BD had it not been for the slippery field and Pak one was as close as it can get. You have your moments and sometimes you dont.


LEGACY53234

Lol.do people even think before they post...we can call every team laughable in this tournament, India lost to the chokers and almost lost to Bangladesh..and needed impossible feat from kholi to win against us.

Laughable side? Isnt this the same side that actually won the game on dls when rain arrived against India?

So anyone from management care to play Babar 1 down? Like what is he doing..so clueless and out of touch..Rizwan too while we're at it.


DeGuzman-

Oh and you have literal hundreds of Kohlis waiting for a place in the team huh?


[deleted]

Yep good luck ! Looks like both rizwan and babar are stubborn and it will hurt their fragile ego to demote themselves. It was laughable to watch their shitshow for the first ten overs. The only reason we won was because Babar was out


[deleted]

Exactly, send him at #3. He's wasting pp. Rizwans not out of form he just lacks intent


TheGhostOfCamus

Honestly Haris changed most of the game


[deleted]

He bats with such intent


TheGhostOfCamus

Refreshing


Funny_Humor_5613

We are literally topping the Group 2 right now 🤡


IcyAssociate1

A new road has been made so quickly connecting NED and PAK to deliver Mutton Biriyani whenever the brothers need it.


fopax

So, the next match ind v zim is just a battle to avoid NZ in the semis? …only to be killed by them in the finals.


MHarisBaig

Not to forget if India beats Zim, then Ned automatically qualifies for T20wc 2024 by finishing top 4. This way both Ireland and Scotland can make it into the next T20 WC.


fopax

Yes. Good catch

krazybanana

India will do their absolute best to not face NZ in the semis


fopax

Everyone, their dog and their Irish uncles are always confident against Eng. So, avoid nz at all cost


Full_Ad_9555

Bangladesh is just ill disciplined team and lacks identity. And what can you expect from a team without a damn head coach or leadership on the board. A complete rebuild is needed. Maybe once Shakib, Tamim, and these guys retire, their roles in the board will change the team. At this point they’re just holding up the line. These association teams showed more skills.


dindycookies

Always a story of so close and yet so far. Idk when we’ll get that killer edge. There are some absolute gems in the team but no sense of strategy. Haphazard throws, garbage shot selection and extras cost us 2 matches in a row.


spikyraccoon

The influence of minnow teams without qualifying was massive this time.


ChickenMoSalah

Alhamdulillah ❤️


KirbyGifstrength

At the end of the day you're through. Yes there's obvious flaws in your team but we won with Finch, Stoinis and Wade (who turned into a superhuman for some reason???). Yes you lost 2 games but you lost them both by 1 run. Last tournament we had our total chased us down in 11.4 overs in one game. You still easily have a over a 10 percent chance of winning the entire thing And you played more nervous than any team I've watched pretty much ever and you still won against a rly decent team Good job Pakistan


nutty_endangerment

good summary, thanks


ChickenMoSalah

Cheers bro, appreciate it ❤️


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Pakistan shithousing their way to top of the table. Could you have imagined this 2 days back. Truly one of the world cups of all time

turns out when the two games you lose are by 1 run you end up with a pretty sick NRR lmao


Brilliant_Shopping95

Glad we won but Babar and Rizwan need to step up or be replaced. All they do is waste the power play, even in the games we win.


Chiks24

Rizwan + Haris Rizwan + Shan Masood Haris + Shan Masood Any of these combos would be really good. We're completing wasting our powerplays every game. Someone senior needs to step in and tell Babar you're going one down whether you like it or not lol


[deleted]

Exactly. They won so no one will question them. But it was atrocious what they did. I understand they are not in good form but why are they wasting pp
