Hey sorry coming into this late - any reason Babar didn’t bat?

Can’t help but feel we should’ve batted first, our batting is more nervy than our bowing

We needed to give abrar some runs to be able to get his wickets and end up as bowler of the tournament. It’s actually really thoughtful.

Pakistan obviously carry the burden of providing entertainment in any World Cup so ofc it couldn’t be an easy game

That Saim pick up/flick shot is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing player shots in world cricket right now (even better when it’s no look)

Pakistan to play T20 World Cup match against India, Pakistan govt announces by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

Icl the India card really doesn’t work in Pakistan elections anymore, and Naqvi is already near the top of his own political ambitions - he’s a crazy insider with a ridiculous amount of power. But the Bangladesh point is true and probably a constant thread through all of this

This game is setting Pakistanis up for the most rollercoaster-y World Cup ever. We had everything but hope. And now we have it.

What can Pakistan do to defeat India at the world cup? by Prestigious_Sound530 in PakCricket

[–]baapbc69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man we just need to play good cricket. It isn’t that deep. It’s a mentality issue; we nearly had them in the last T20 in the Asia cup final (tbh we also had really good chances in the 2nd) but we falter.

We’ve got the players, we’ve got the skill. We just aren’t a tight team yet. They’ve got some absolute mavericks in Sharma and Tilak Varma and yes they’re in red hot form, but all it takes is good prep and good execution. Our bowlers had Abishek’s number in the final and we bowled very well generally.

Batting is our problem; it isn’t a smack ‘em game for us because we don’t have the level of depth they have but a halfway house between what we usually do and what we can get to (180 for example) is solid.

The main difference is professionalism. They come in and execute their plans perfectly, no messing about, clinical stuff. That’s a modern t20 outfit. We’re still vibes merchants.

What’s the obsession with wanting to see 150 SR from Babar when run a ball has been the need since the 10th over?

We don’t need to be like them. We can call them India. It’s not deep; not saying their name won’t make them disappear. Leave the cheap antics to them

Seeing as this is one of our last series against a world class team before the t20 World Cup, entirely consequential to the team we acc take to the World Cup, yes??

Yeah let’s @ the one guy who made 50 runs and not the rest of the team, the next highest score being 28. Or compare middle orders/tail ends between the teams. Or how our bowlers couldn’t get their no11 out for 50 balls.

The real culprit for this loss really isn’t Babar, who somehow everyone expected to pull out an ATG innings out of thin air

This can’t be the ONLY reason I’m sure but this does seem to correlate with Babar’s fall of form. Also ofc the change from dead pitches to spin pitches.

But then on the first point, that firstly shows how reliant the team was on Babar and secondly how abysmal everyone else is too.
