Yeah, this could work against the mighty Moose.

You mess with the moose you get the noose

Only Pakistan could lose that

I can’t see us winning the tournament like this though, need a few others to step up.

The thing that will change is conditions. We go from playing on shitty grounds and outfields to amazing grounds and outfields.

Pakistan were 48 runs from 48b with 8 wickets in hand and they still manage to lose lol, they choked big time. Pakistan are out of the world cup and rightly deserve to be out.

It makes sense to bat deep when you have a Buttler or Kohli doing that, the only one I can see in a similar role is Rizwan and he’s not exactly the best at it either.

On this pitch you needed to be ahead of the rate in every over.
Babar was looking good too but got out to a silly shot, trying to dab it to third man when there's a slip

If I was Pakistan fan I would be furious with Imad Wasim

It was a horrendous batting performance in the end. Imad and Rizwan bigger culprits. Rizwan with that untimely unnecessary shot and Imad not being able to connect a ball in that Axar over. Changing moment as Bumrah was always going to be special.

I also feel 15% of the match was lost when Siraj and Arshdeep scored 15 runs combined. Those 2's in the 19th over, overthrows and all allowed India to sigh a relief with 120 now needed instead of 105.

Yep, Pakistan's best over was 11 in the 20th. India had four of 11 or more in the first 10. Didn't get above 8 in the second half. Pakistan scored more runs in the last ten overs but they were already 24 runs behind after 10 overs..

Indian election + this game for context

This is not going to impress Americans...should have gone with Astroturf.

Americans have been impressed already! They won against the 6th ranked team, people started talking about it.

Our toothless bowling attack (barring Bumrah) gets exposed on a good batting surface then.

Worries for another day though. Tonight, we celebrate.

If you think this event was to impress the Americans with no exposure to cricket then you’re wrong. It’s clear by now that they want to establish a niche with the immigrant subcontinental population and the second/third generation Americans that know about cricket.

The goal is to make that $$$ so well ICC doesn't care tbh!

Astroturf...where Imran Nazir fails to defend 48 off the final over.
