Would love to see Canada win here. But honestly, even if they can put up a decent fight, it would scare Pakistan enough

[Moonwatcher]

10% of a winning score in the first 3 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan need to win well to bridge Net Run rate .

 

[icyflakes]

Pakistan have stemmed the flow a bit here after that shaky start

 

[NYRB]

A ripper from Amir.

 

[icyflakes]

Middle stump out of the ground, doesn't get any better

 

[NYRB]

Dhaliwal had no idea about that one.

 

[NYRB]

Pargat Singh in at 3 for Canada

 

[Sammo360]

Dhaliwal looked village there

 

[NYRB]

This Johnson lad wouldnt look out of place in the Big Bash.

 

[NYRB]

Johnson lad from Canada no worse than that Brisbane Heat opener who played for them last season. The name evades my memory right now.

 

[NYRB]

Afridi gets Pargat and Canada lose their 2nd inside the powerplay.

 

[NYRB]

If Pakistan chase whatever the Canadians score in 12.3 overs or less, they will overtake USA On Net Run Rate.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Johnson's going to run out of partners.

 

[NYRB]

Fakhar with a dolly of a drop of Johnson.

 

[NYRB]

At this level you gotta grab those.

 

[icyflakes]

Was gonna say at 6fa with 3 overs remaining you could easily stack on 20-30 and make it competitive on a pitch that's done nothing all WC, but that wicket might have been the deathblow.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Defendable.

 

[icyflakes]

Probably 15 runs too short but you never know what the Pakistan bookkeepers have going

 

[NYRB]

A Win chasing it in the 19th or 20th over is no good for Pakistan of progressing to the next stage.

 

[NYRB]

Rizwan leaving balls in a powerplay when you need a Net Run Rate.


Wow


The fix is in . Pakistan have put the cue in the rack for ICC World T20 2024.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan better not be blaming NRR in the final game, if it costs them a Top 2 spot.

 

[NYRB]

Rizwan is fair dinkum treating the format and lack of game and team awareness of what they need.

Its sad.
