***Official***Match #18- Australia vs Pakistan- October 20th-Bengaluru (D/N)

[SillyCowCorner1]

The second-best nation out of Oceania takes on the second-best nation out of Asia...

Feeling Starc would take a fifer

Looking forward to this one. Shaheen key with the new cherry

Huge game.
India and NZ are all but through to the SF - 2 out of these sides, plus England and RSA will be the other 2.
The loser tomorrow is up against it.
Pakistan need to bring in a specialist bowler. These bits and pieces players are not worth it.

 

[number11]

If you have good ARs - perfect, but what the Pakistanis are fielding are neither top batsmen or top bowlers. In this scenario, better to play specialists. I've said this before but the ultra aggressive mindset these days has killed off [or should] the bits and pieces player. You need incisive bowlers all through the innings as you can't contain modern players the same way you could a generation or more ago. 5 wicket takers are needed.

Feel like you're underrating Papua New Guinea here

If India, NZ, England and SA will be in the semi finals as you’re saying then this game means nothing anyway.

FTR I expect Pakistan to win this and allow me some decent sleep between tonight and the final

 

[GIMH]

hmm, I see us fighting for the 4th spot with these two, so after objectively thinking about it I hope Pakistan win by 200 runs/14 wickets

Please read carefully. India and NZ will be SFists. Additionally 2 of these 2 [Pak, Aus, RSA and Eng] will be in the last 4. Hence tomorrow's game is a huge clash.

I also got confused by SA and SF in your original post tbf

A defeat here could end Australia. It won't be as bad for Pakistan.

Why ? Their wins have come against SL and Netherland. A loss here and they have to win 4/4 to reach SF

Please write carefully. I thought you had 6 teams playing semis.

 

[straw man]

This should be a fun match to watch. At least, up until the point where Pakistan suddenly fall apart and lose.

Fancy Australia today but I hope Pakistan win

 

[Molehill]

Pakistan win toss and bowl.....not convinced that's the right way to go against the Aussies.

 

[Molehill]

Sounds like the pitch is flat and there could well be a big dew factor later (hence opting to bowl). Aussies will be needing at least 300 I suspect.

its Chinnaswamy

[King Kane]

Hopefully the good Pakistan turns up today and we get a good contest, it would be nice to see a close finish for once.

Babar loves a **** review. I thought he smacked that at the time.
