2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

PAK shouldn't drag this. Bring in Afridi and clean it up fast. Enough "Zillat" for a day.

Guess Babar heard you there...Though what surprised me is that Shaheen has only bowled 4 overs until now. Too conservative an approach,don't you think? That too, against the Netherlands?

Shadab is bowling well for the first time in ages

Indeed! Lovely guile and trajectory there. He seems to be bamboozling the batsmen, though that could be on account of poor batting skill as well.

Too conservative an approach,

Absolutely! Very strange captaincy from babar. Always felt like fear of losing somehow overshadowed winning intent

And alas! Nawaz the match winner is back.

The bowling from Pakistan has been pedestrian tonight. Netherlands inexperience of long form cricket showed otherwise this was looking like a very achievable chase.

Despite they're gonna lose, Bas De Leede is the real flying Dutchman. Might've won it if Scott and Teja had showed some grit.

De Leede is looking unstoppable, vd Merwe and van Beek still in, the game is truly on.

Spot on! SL will brush PAK aside if this is their best. Forget other heavyweights

Cringe worthy commentary from Bhogle and whosoever the other Pakistani is. Every time you see Shaheen, you do not need to draw parallels with Wasim. Shaheen is afar different bowler and an't keep on comparing every now and then.

Bas de Leede's gmaeplan was perfect. With the firepower they have, chasing 100 odd in 15 overs would have been possible. It is still possible, but they don't have any wickets in hand.

Van der Merwe and Van Beek * Aryan Dutt could stitch together a few partnerships, but I guess it might not be enough.

If they can get to 20 overs and not lose more than one more wicket, I absolutely back Scott Edwards to see them home

Never mind

That stupid shot from Singh really messed up the whole chase, all he had to do was remain calm until the 30th over :/

Yes! And especially given that they missed out on the Final 4 in 2019 due to NRR. Babar should have gotten his quicks much earlier ot try and finish it off.

A classic pakistan-esque run out

Wow amazing genius thank you get lost!

Spinners are turning it well, he was gonna get a peach sooner or later
