23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

[OverratedSanity]

Jamshed

He really is in no condition to be out there playing a WC match

Tough one.. but should be Wahab. ATG All-Round performance.

But without irfans 4 wkts the others looked so toothless

 

[cnerd123]

10(28). What an innings.

 

[biased indian]

how many No Balls they have missed today ??? why don't third umpire say i will give it look when it is so obvious..Extra balls Extra Runs Free hit ....a tighter game could have different result

Wahab's runs at the end made a huge difference. Jacket defo motm for me.

 

[Julian87]

Wonder how many no-balls Irfan bowled tonight that weren't called. I'd wager at least an overs worth. The cameras showed 3.

 

[BC_fan_abored]

@Nasir_Jamshed will probably claim he lost the ball in the sun

Jamshed

Jamshed is playing for his country while Azhar Ali is not. Hardly seems fair, does it.

Without Wahab's 50 the match was lost before the 2nd innings.

It's a complete joke isn't it. They've missed half a dozen atleast. If you're not going to even look at the front line, just ****ing automate it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Motm Umar Akmal surely for his 5 catches.

 

[smash84]

Chigumbura should have backed himself earlier. But well played zimbos. could easily have been the winner of the 2 minnows today

Considering free hits, that could've been an easy 10-15 runs right there.

 

[smash84]

zim should have won this without the umpiring. Riaz the party pooper for them

 

[ankitj]

Perhaps Masakadza should have been more patient. They weren't chasing a big total anyway.

Congrats Pakistan on first win.

A good win but not what pakistan would have hoped for ..now they will have to beat Ireland by a big margin to be sure of finishing ahead..or beat SA both looks difficult as of now

 

[Julian87]

I know Zimbabwe don't have the deepest of talent pools but **** me Sikander Raza is an absolute waste of space as an opening batsman. I'd have no problems at all with him being used as a lower order all rounder type given they've got no actual spinner and he's a gun fielder. But his batting is pedestrian. Watching him consciously stay leg side of every ball over 130km/h is sickening. He'll score a run a ball 31 in one of his next innings trying to pull the wool yet again.

India and/or SA could crush Ireland by big margin and put Ireland's NRR at Pakistan's neighborhood.

 

[ankitj]

And Pakistan most likely will defeat UAE by a much bigger margin than Ireland did. Ireland has its task cut out. The match between Pak and Ire might well be a knock out. And it's last group game for both teams too, so will be interesting.
