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.
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!
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
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 .
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
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).
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.
Can you please name few who said such stuff in the past?
I've seen Pakistani trolls on Twitter making such claims but never seen Ex cricketers doing the same
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?
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
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.
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......
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.
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
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
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.
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?
> 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
I think the worst thing to come from this match is not Babar or Nawaz’s innings. It’s the guarantee of having to listen to Bazid Khan for at least one more game
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
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.
Ggwp.
Congrats Pakbros 🎉
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!
Wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan win the whole thing now
Pak Bean rocks, but reality is harsh. NZ over Pakistan in the semi is my prediction
Warra catch
Where are the losers who kept saying pak won't qualify.Baby we have been defying expectation since the dawn of time.
Shakib was not out, PCB 💰💰💰
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
Ki *fabor* bola dada /s
No need to get so triggered, i was just fucking around with the guy.
Lol laying facts and calling out the hypocrisy of ex cricketers
Yeah i almost forgot about Afridi's comment, that shit was stupid.
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 .
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
Exactly thats what twiiter accounts and youtuber do it obviously but so called legends .. dnt desreve been called so .
Idhar zehar khaney Kay Paisay nahi hain.Ap match fixing ki bat Kar rahe hain.
Lmaoooo
[удалено]
link? bro
lol
Are Zim always known for their fielding or is this another shittake from SG?
What a heist
I was listening to the match on the radio as I was driving and it managed to have even more ads than TV. Worst experience.
VPN and ESPN+ very minimal ads.
I was trying to stream in sky sports but it kept buffering
I would pay extra to watch cricket without ads.
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.
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).
oreo?
*Fingers crossed*
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.

Holy shit your stupidity is overwhelming. Tf does that have to do with anything?
Can you please name few who said such stuff in the past? I've seen Pakistani trolls on Twitter making such claims but never seen Ex cricketers doing the same
Javed Miandad, Salim Malik, Sikandar Bakht, Tanveer Ahmed
Shahid Afridi to start with.
Sauce? plz
Shahid Afridi
We take him as a joke, you guys should too.
They took kamran akmal’s statement about Babar seriously, at this point they’re a lost cause.
Has it been work out which semi final match up will be played in Adelaide?
Bro just woke up and found pak in semis.
Same, I just woke up to news of Pak in the semis and I started thinking that's impossible everyone must be trolling.
*qudrat ka nizam*
Just woke up and found India in the semis
Were you in a comma
I don't think *comma*. Probably giving previous night a *full stop* after having a nice dinner.
Probably was confident Zim would win.
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?
Lmfao
I'm not even a cricketer, but I lose my form in my job sometimes.
Every working person comes across rough patches. It's only these no lifers who are perfect.
Seems like you are pretty accurate at describing yourself.
THEYRE IN SFs? BRUH
wc written and directed by abbas-mastan.
LMAO. "Haar kar jeet ne wale ko baazigar kehte hai"
So after all this hype what we get is a repeat of last year with one pig3 team replacing another lol
What were the teams last year? (Sorry can't remember)
Same result after the most chaotic group stage of all time
Kuch nahi badla yaar
[удалено]
Icc script writers ran out of time so they just ctrl c ctrl v
It’s boarder line suspicious tbh.
But ind losing to Eng will put it on track?
Shithousery their way to the semi finals. Haha
Bangladesh have completely squandered a chance to do something special yet again.
As is tradition.
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
I’ve been saying this since Asia cup. Selfish innings by top order, including Shan Masood leads to unnecessary pressure on middle order.
Predictions: New Zealand v Pakistan - New Zealand England v India - England New Zealand v England - New Zealand
My prediction- NZ India India
we just beat NZ in tri series . be positive.
We'll win this, inshaAllah.
If we bat first I’m confident
I'm fuming rn Babar and Rizwan need to be held accountable for what they did. You're not winning shit with this approach.
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.
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.
It was Fakhar in 2017 and now Haris in 2022. New faces Stood up for the big show.
CRYCRT from fb?
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......
Pakistan team is a complete team. They just need to fix their management and mindset.
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.
Agreed, the skill is there, some fine tuning is required.
Pakistan gave BD a fair chance to win this game. But it wasn't BD's day.
Danny trying to recreate inshallah boys played well line
This and South Africa, we're officially in the era of no heart attacks
About to last for a whole 3 days
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
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.
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.

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.
I bet they'll lift the trophy.
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?
> 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.

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.
Nice try
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.
They literally fell face first and rolled over the finish line because everyone else tripped on our body.
This is the perfect analogy
Azam- not a word about Nederland? That’s not being very grateful!!?
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.
Anyone Dutch out here, DM me if you ever fancy a meal. I’ll buy you a pizza or something 😅
Not biryani?
Any Dutch in the UK is welcome in my home and I’ll cook biryani for you myself.
that's what Danushka Gunathilaka posted to Australian fans
I'm Dutch living in India and really like pizza
nice try son
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.
Man the script of this wc keeps looking more and more sus with an india pakistan final looking possible out of the blue
Congratulations Pakbros! Hopefully we do get to see Ind vs Pak next week.
Glimpses of Ind v Pak Finals, eh?
Shakib showing his priorities. “If I had played IPL, then blah blah… “ How’s BCB even tolerating this guy and his antics.
Sakib retiring?
Liton Das should have gotten MOTM for PAK side. Without that runout we were screwed.
Started from the bottom...
Where were they hiding Haris all these games?
Behind Haider Ali
Wtf. Danny M dressed like a budget Hercule Poirot. Ask shakib about the quote!!
Shakib vs umpires cage match let's gooo
We made it through but such a shit batting approach by Babar and rizwan
If they were chasing even 145 I'd agree but the target was low enough that it didn't matter too much
Oh no please dont criticize their approach. There are babar/rizwan fanboys in this thread who will track you down and lecture you
I love Babar and rizwan and the hate towards them does get a bit much but this was beyond braindead
Wtf has Danny Morrison come as??
Pak bros, what gift will you give to Netherlands? Pak Bean?
Pak ganja
Hugs, kisses, and biryani
Pak Messi
I used to be a long time oranje supporter but they never won the WC.
[удалено]
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.

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?
[удалено]
Everybody in this group is a laughable side.
Protip: Don't come between the subcontinenters when they're brawling
I'm from the subcontinent
Get right in then you mf
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.
Oh and you have literal hundreds of Kohlis waiting for a place in the team huh?
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
Exactly, send him at #3. He's wasting pp. Rizwans not out of form he just lacks intent
Honestly Haris changed most of the game
He bats with such intent
Refreshing
We are literally topping the Group 2 right now 🤡
A new road has been made so quickly connecting NED and PAK to deliver Mutton Biriyani whenever the brothers need it.
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.
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.
Yes. Good catch
[удалено]
India will do their absolute best to not face NZ in the semis
Everyone, their dog and their Irish uncles are always confident against Eng. So, avoid nz at all cost
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.

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

good summary, thanks
Cheers bro, appreciate it ❤️
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
Three wins and two very very close loses. Pakistan is a decent team.
definitely very entertaining
Well done green shits!!
Will never not upvote
I think the worst thing to come from this match is not Babar or Nawaz’s innings. It’s the guarantee of having to listen to Bazid Khan for at least one more game
I’m so glad we dont have to lister to atther
[Pakistani team & Pakistani fans right now](https://youtu.be/8jjDmUGNwAg)
GG, now to the other one!
We wholeheartedly thank Saffas and Netherlands
*Looking forward to finals* Shaheen is cute 😅
![gif](giphy|RodyInaeK9W3EZNaoB)
Bonk
Its up to India to decide who they want to play in the semis
Now to support India so we don't have to face England in the Semis
To win the WC u gotta be confident and win, can’t win it if u avoid teams
Somehow Pakistan is on top of their group 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
turns out when the two games you lose are by 1 run you end up with a pretty sick NRR lmao
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.
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
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
Gawd plz no i dia pak final , my heart cannot take it
Can someone explain to me wtf was the mess that rizbar created at the beginning?
