ICC Cricket World Cup - May/July 2019

This is another issue with Pakistan's batting, other teams keep the momentum or accelerate further after getting a good start in the first 10 overs while Pakistan bogue down.

90 odd for one as we speak would suggest different, bucking the trend maybe?

Pakistan are already down 2 wickets after a good start, hopefully they don't just collapse like always.

Pakistan is already 60 runs short of what they should be at the end of over 25. It is a belter of a pitch and England will stroll pass anything around 350.

60 short ? wow ... talk about ridiculous expectations

They are actually doing just fine. Setting up the platform to launch in the last 15. They will at least 175 at the end of 30, and the general formula is, you double that score if you have enough wickets in hand. 350+ is on the cards for sure here

At least they got 105 haha, To be honest I will be happy if they can get pass 250 and have something to defend.
350 will be a a great score for Pakistan if they can get there.. which is highly unlikely but just pray that they do.

It's not about expectations. This is a difference between top teams and mediocre like Pakistan as we loose the momentum.
Also its not the Pakistan of the past where we have big hitters in the lower middle order.[DOUBLEPOST=1559561922][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't see them getting 350 either but my point was relative to the conditions.

Pakistan is a ****** going into a Worldcup match.

Didn't understand

Didn't understand

I guess the term is banned on the forum, but I meant like an associate team.

Yes, but i don't see any momentum being lost. They lost a wicket, steadied the innings for a few overs and are not attacking again

The momentum was lost by Fakhar and Imam after 8th over. At the moment both of these are trying well to regain it.

I think that momentum is well and truly back

40/1 in the last 5 overs. They will be 260 odd at the end of 40 overs and if they dont lost another wicket 90-100 runs in the last 10 on this wicket is not impossible I feel

Babar yet again threw his wicket after getting 50. So far we have been loosing wickets at the crunch times and then we go back to the rebuilding phase.

Sarfaraz is slowing things down here I agree

Crunch moment in the match. Hafeez must bat to the end and bat big!
