ICC Cricket World Cup - May/July 2019

I could almost visualise the pair of Amir and Junaid making the two Aussies skip and hop. Now, a long long vigil awaits.

How Junaid and Amir do not get to play in the same game is beyond me. I think it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I dia would kill to have that kind of a combo. As a batsman, I would be thrilled to see them not bowling in tandem.

If this continues then Australia will get to 400 easily.

 

[Alexei.]

Just feel Pakistan will have an upper hand over Australia today

Nah, I would've kept Shadab in. He's a breakthrough guy. Dropped catches sounds familiar.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

You have to play a full time spinner against the likes of Australia,England,New Zealand and even the WI when you have a wrist spinner like Shadab Khan in your ranks.

 

[Alexei.]

Almost 150 in 22, 450+ maybe, could be, if these guys bat till 30-35.

Amir doing his thing. Misbah said the same he wouldve preferred Shadab over Shaheen, I am feeling a big Smith-Warner partnership today.

450+

That is an extremely generous prediction. I think for a team to score 450+ they need to be scoring at 7-7.5 rpo throughout

I would say they are on track for 350-375 here, but they will need the middle and lower middle order to deliver big time. Pak will look to hold them to below 330

 

[Jalen]

Man, I sure missed that celebration.

Aussies do what they say a prime example of it

During 2017 Australia tour of India, Australia were 3-0 down in the 5-match series and before the 4th ODI Warner was attending a press conference as he was going to play his 100th ODI and he said he is confident of scoring big in the next game itself. He went on to score a 100 and Australia posted 330+. In the end Australia went on to win by 15 runs.

Again coming to this tournament, Warner played one of his slowest innings in the previous match and before today's match Finch said that Warner would be back to it's aggressive best. Today he scored a 100.

Pakistan's still very much in this.

They could certainly win from here!!

We really should've picked him instead of Hasnain. HE seems like a complete Parchi, not Imam. (Jab kihlana nahi tha to leke kiyon gaye? )

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Pakistan are bowling too short over here. Even though they have got wicket on fuller balls they still haven't learned. Don't know why they are doing it. [DOUBLEPOST=1560342668][/DOUBLEPOST]

I had said it and they've got a wicket

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I will be so glad if they can wrap them up before 310-315. Given how their top-order performed, they looked like they'd easily get past 350.

Seems improbable
