Why did they promote Iftikhar ahead of Shakeel during the middle overs….? Just noticed it now.

Because after their last game, someone on A-Sports mentioned that Ifti playing more deliveries can result in him getting more runs.

Morkel was in the coach's ear

This seems like a classic example of drawing the wrong conclusion on the basis of a simple statement if true.

I believe their morale is pretty low. They will try out a variety of things, no matter the source. It is similar to England trying out different combinations. Unfortunately,in the case of both, it hasn't worked in their favour.

Pakistan is winning this game!

I feel like anything above 260 (Pak is def getting more than that now) and SAF will struggle to get it .. regardless of how good their batting has been. This is not exactly a belter like Wankhede

 

[CerealKiller]

When they have to be aggressive at the top, they don’t. When it’s more advisable to keep wickets till the death, they don’t.

Easy win fr PAK as expected. RSA folded within mere 189....
What a bowling by Washim......

Oh wait.. just woke up!

 

[Umair7]

So if Pakistan win today, Saffa might run into trouble. (Ind, NZ & Afg) next.

They’ve really mastered the art of throwing away wickets just when a platform has been built.

Have they fully embraced the “all rounder Shaheen” meme now?

Don't worry, all-rounder Afridi will send Pakistan's score past 300 with his belligerent hitting.

I think this is a decent enough score, even against this South African batting lineup. But we need our bowlers to turn up big time, which they haven't done in quite a while. Especially Shaheen with the new ball and our spinners in the middle overs.

Babar’s plans will be key. I’ve seen too many occasions where they’ve let the team down.

All-rounder Afridi with an ATG knock in a must-win World Cup match. GOAT fr fr.

I've a feeling that SA will lose today and Pakistan will have a good day while bowling. The target already seems enough to bundle out the opposition batsmen.
