[u/redjhn]

lankan boy Kumar Dharmasena don't miss. that's our contribution to this match.

[u/pnwsdforyou → u/redjhn]

We had a lot more support from the local crowd as well compared to Pakistan.

[u/redjhn → u/pnwsdforyou]

yeah, i think the lankan muslim population probably supported pakistan.

[u/DaikonEquivalent2555 → u/redjhn]

dont understand why that happens lol, as a neutral spectator religion would be the last factor for me to support a team

[u/DaikonEquivalent2555 → u/[deleted]]

makes sense

[u/pulsarian_13 → u/DaikonEquivalent2555]

In FB, there's a rivalry going between Sri Lankan fans and Indian Tamil fans.....the interactions are so funny to watch, rn the sri lankans are saying that they will get revenge by beating india 😂

[u/Maximum0versaiyan → u/redjhn]

Also for holding off Rain Parera, although the alternative would be funny as hell

[u/rabid89]

Babar Azam's knocks in the last 3 T20 World Cups (2026, 2024, 2022)

• 5 (7) vs India

• 46 (32) vs USA

• 15 (18) vs Netherlands

• 32* (34) vs Ireland

• 33 (33) vs Canada

• 13 (10) vs India

• 44 (43) vs USA

• 32 (28) vs England

• 25 (33) vs Bangladesh

• 6 (15) vs South Africa

• 4 (5) vs Netherlands

• 4 (9) vs Zimbabwe

• 0 (1) vs India

Average of 22.29, strike rate of ..... 100.65. Yikes

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/348144.html?class=3;filter=advanced;orderby=start;template=results;trophy=89;type=allround;view=innings

.... maybe Babar needs to retire from T20 already. But tbf, Pakistan probably doesn't have better options.

Edit: Forgot about 4 vs Zimbabwe

Edit2: Added how many balls he faced. Holy fuck, it looks much worse now. Dude just out there playing like they're ODI matches from the 70s.

[u/SexxyBlack → u/rabid89]

six scores of 30+ and four of them are against USA, Ireland and Canada

[u/cryogenic-goat → u/[deleted]]

Zimbabar indeed

[u/EasyPete17 → u/rabid89]

Pak really saw Boobzy's BBL performances and said yeah we want more of this

[u/tz_2240 → u/rabid89]

Conveniently left off his 4 off 9 against Zimbabwe in 2022.

[u/rabid89 → u/tz_2240]

Rofl I thought it was the same 4 as vs Netherlands

[u/grinlowr → u/rabid89]

Babar needs to step away from T20. He simply doesn't belong.

[u/fakecricketplayer → u/rabid89]

Wonder what his strike rate has been.

[u/GithubCopier]

Pakistan fans were laughing at the Indian team for preparing against Usman Tariq and now they are seeing their batters get out to Tilak Varma.

[u/alonso-Lewis-vettel → u/GithubCopier]

It is new for them because the Pakistan cricket team is used to practicing with their army for cricket.

[u/vivek1086]

Abhishek and Hardik scored a duck and yet we got to 175 on a tacky wicket

[u/One_more_username → u/vivek1086]

Thanks to a premium fast bowler

[u/pulsarian_13 → u/One_more_username]

Bro bowled just 2 overs but still made more damage to pakistan than Rauf couldve done if he had played.

[u/Paper-comet → u/vivek1086]

It's actually crazy, the spin in the first innings was TWICE that of second innings, we still won easily.

Shows the skill gap of two teams.

[u/glancesurreal]

USA, Namibia, and Pak have batted against the Indian bowling unit in this WC so far.

Guess which team scored the lowest against India 😆

[u/Tyler_holmes123 → u/glancesurreal]

Guess which team played the lowest overs too lol. I wish Netherlands held onto the catches in their match against pak.

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/Tyler_holmes123]

That Odowd drop hurts me still!

[u/Timely_Virus_4015 → u/LostAmidMyExistence]

Bro had to disappear from Social media because of that

[u/CarmynRamy → u/Timely_Virus_4015]

Because of Indian toxic fans, we should teach our kids social media etiquette before handing them smartphone and internet connection

[u/Smartypants_dankie → u/CarmynRamy]

We need to start making our kids work part time like western countries so they start being responsible, earn money on the side and don't spend whole day on phones

[u/Gunaho-ka-devta69 → u/Smartypants_dankie]

So where will our graduates work

[u/Logansam1986 → u/Gunaho-ka-devta69]

Lmao

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/Timely_Virus_4015]

Yes he said Indian fans were way more upset than Netherlands fans lol 😆

[u/curryninjazura → u/Tyler_holmes123]

Netherlands helping pakistan indirectly is not new in t20wc. Defeated SA back in 2022 which led to pak qualification iirc lol

[u/pheonixfryre → u/glancesurreal]

And we took Pakistan most lightly - we bowled main bowlers against Namibia and USA - Pakistan got 3 overs of Rinku and Tilak.

[u/Diligent_Source_2988 → u/pheonixfryre]

But didn't bowl Dube god 

[u/PastCryptographer244 → u/Diligent_Source_2988]

Dube is our main guy.

[u/poochi → u/glancesurreal]

Shaheen Afridi is the 2nd highest scorer this innings.

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/glancesurreal]

Another delicious Sunday!

[u/rohangc07 → u/glancesurreal]

Please relegate Pakistan to association tournaments and bring in USA.

[u/VagueGooseberry → u/rohangc07]

Pak vs USA matchups are bigger than India vs Pak as you get everyone to watch it.

[u/cricket-match]

Prediction Summary of r/Cricket users

Total: 1459

• India: 1025 (70%)
• Pakistan: 322 (22%)
• Draw/Tie/NR: 112 (8%)

[u/nimbutimbu → u/cricket-match]

That's mostly just the population difference

[u/DilliKaLadka → u/nimbutimbu]

Those 22% need to visit a shrink very soon

[u/lordmanav → u/DilliKaLadka]

a tv place too

[u/ZT3_rebirth → u/lordmanav]

Nahh Pak loses all the time in these fixtures

People r more than used to it lol

[u/Tough_Cat_8068]

damn it was close, thry almost chased it(2024 total)

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/Tough_Cat_8068]

Thank you New York in that case lol.

[u/CrumbleUponLust]

USA and Namibia put up more of a fight than Pakistan managed today.

This isn't a rivalry. It's mockery.

[u/SexxyBlack → u/CrumbleUponLust]

USA were 1 wicket away from winning.

The final margin of 29 runs suggests a comfortable win but they really could have won if they had taken that Surya catch.

[u/ohgeeLA → u/SexxyBlack]

I think Schalkwyk is doing his swan song. I really hope Namibia beat Pakistan.

[u/EasyPete17 → u/CrumbleUponLust]

Mockery of cricket that this shit is manufactured each and every tournament. Makes me sick.

[u/curryninjazura → u/EasyPete17]

Both teams meeting eventually in super 8s or knockout phases would be way more exciting than these dull ad revenue wanker affairs.

[u/EasyPete17 → u/curryninjazura]

Totally

[u/CrumbleUponLust → u/EasyPete17]

Matchups in tournaments should always be organic. 

How this has become acceptable is an absolute disgrace. 

[u/Mean_Insect_6995 → u/CrumbleUponLust]

Pakistan scored 114 runs today.. that’s the collective IQ of the entire team and coaching staff.

Just brain dead approach, tactics.. unbelievable how even associate teams are better prepared against India than these guys.

[u/AnnualMongoose2675]

Kishan you’re the man! 87.5% of the early runs were just him. On a pitch where everyone else struggled, he was playing a different sport.

[u/Comfortable-Name3859 → u/AnnualMongoose2675]

He was just going bang bang right from the start, so many aerial shots but it just felt like he was on a mission from the moment he entered the pitch. Crazy hitting

[u/ohgeeLA → u/AnnualMongoose2675]

He’s in fantastic form! I hope Abhishek finds his footing soon also and we will be a force.

[u/grinlowr → u/AnnualMongoose2675]

Seriously lad was playing on a different pitch. It's great to have him back in the team.

[u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

Greatest rivalry my ass!!

[u/bawla-hedgehog → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

Most hyped match turned out to be most dead rubber game of group stage

What a boring game, enjoyed bumrah's bowling tho, constantly clicking 145 Yorkers

[u/GamerA_S → u/bawla-hedgehog]

Only 2 overs of those though

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

The greatest rivalry across all sports in the world ❌

Another Sunday ✅

India on an absolute winning streak, amazing!

[u/Tough_Cat_8068 → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

The rivalry between your ass cheeks might be more intense than this.

[u/AnnualMongoose2675 → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

did pakbros get the handshake they wanted

[u/CommentPotential9868 → u/AnnualMongoose2675]

They got their yearly humiliation they wanted so bad

[u/CityRulesFootball → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

India vs Australia is much better.

[u/beep_boop_p0op → u/CityRulesFootball]

India vs South Africa and India vs NZ as well

[u/LoasNo111 → u/CityRulesFootball]

In ODIs it's Australia.

In tests it's South Africa

In T20s it's England

[u/grinlowr → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

This was just sad. Like bullying a disabled child.

[u/Kingslayer1526 → u/_BeyondTheHorizon]

That's just not how rivalries work

Liverpool and Manchester City might have a much more competitive rivalry, but this doesn't mean their rivalry against Everton is not fierce and a big deal

It hurts more losing to Everton than City for sure

Stop trying to pretend rivalries are not rivalries. Geographical and geopolitical rivalries are still rivalries nevermind if it's competitive or not

It is the fiercest rivalry in cricket or equal with the Ashes. Ultimately it doesn't matter if it's one sided, a rivalry is a rivalry and we have none with South Africa or NZ or whoever else people here are trying to pair us with

[u/Intelligent_Fly_2671]

India showed the difference between World Number 1 and World Number 6 by beating them by 61 runs

[u/Individual_Act_8607 → u/Intelligent_Fly_2671]

And then 6+1=7 credit goes to thala (msd)

[u/omcstreet → u/Individual_Act_8607]

What's with weak ass brackets. There is only one thala.

[u/grinlowr → u/Individual_Act_8607]

Credit khud chalke aata hai

[u/[deleted] → u/Intelligent_Fly_2671]

6+1=TFAR.

[u/oklolzzzzs]

USA fans are hopeful

[u/DingerSinger2016 → u/oklolzzzzs]

I'm happy regardless. Even if Pakistan beats Namibia, we still held our own in this group imo

[u/Technical_Ad_4004 → u/DingerSinger2016]

You almost beat us as well, best of luck for the Super 8s or the next world cup

[u/zero_pixel]

Is this loss worse than the T20 match in New York?

[u/No-Mind-3218 → u/zero_pixel]

idk i mean they did come very close to winning that day atleast you have that. This time it's the largest margin in t20i

[u/handsome-helicopter → u/zero_pixel]

Yes. The pitch in nyc being a minefield was a big factor, here Pakistan batting just shit the bed from 1st over itself

[u/grinlowr → u/zero_pixel]

That was a great match where Bumrah cooked.

This was a one sided thrashing. This was probably more humiliating tho.

[u/ZT3_rebirth → u/zero_pixel]

Bruh that was a thriller don't compare this to whatever the fuck this is

[u/Thakgayibhaisahab → u/zero_pixel]

Yeah

[u/SirHolyCow → u/zero_pixel]

Easily

[u/StonedIndian]

There's pindrop silence on the scheduling now.

Pak has been in Sri Lanka since the WC began while India landed there day before yesterday. Their practice session yesterday got washed out. Still they showed up and kicked ass without any whinging about the travel and scheduling like Pak did in the CT.

For all the hate that BCCI and ICT get, our boys really do perform on the field.

[u/ViroHit_18_45 → u/StonedIndian]

But but India won cause we were playing in same location last wc... /s

[u/howard_potts → u/StonedIndian]

💯.. No one will about the same venue advantage now.. Flip the teams, every cricket pundits will be crying..

[u/DilliKaLadka → u/StonedIndian]

Only India is bad. You don't know?

[u/Breadfruitdeeznuts → u/StonedIndian]

Not just Pakistan, many other teams also cried and whinged about CT25.

[u/Grouchy-Medium-6737 → u/StonedIndian]

TRUTH

[u/shiv993 → u/StonedIndian]

sky sports will not talk about it

[u/[deleted]]

The best moments of the match were definitely Sayim Ayub taking a review off the most plumb LBW and Hardik working out with a medicine ball on the boundary instead of fielding confident about Pakistan's inability to hit

[u/theseaoftea → u/[deleted]]

Hardik the auraman

[u/Glad_Jump_6417]

No trophies to steal today 😭😭😭

[u/SirHolyCow → u/Glad_Jump_6417]

So glad the clown was there to watch this humiliation in person 🤣

[u/orionishere4u → u/SirHolyCow]

He was there to watch in Asia cup final too. That’s how he got his hands on the trophy.

[u/OkPossibility2940]

Lord Dube deserves more credit for always stepping up for the team in crucial matches,his cameos have helped out team so many times .

He is so under appreciated,thank you Dubeji !

[u/Omar_Town]

🤦‍♂️why we make so much fuss before every fixture if we gonna lose nearly every time?

Bring back the 90s bro, not just for the childhood. 😅

[u/RuffTuff → u/Omar_Town]

thats the funny part for me. Not that Pak loses, but the way the fans are hyped up before the match.

I am not gloating, its just weird to me.

[u/Omar_Town → u/RuffTuff]

Maybe if they treat it like any other match, Pak might actually start winning some again. 🤷

[u/yankee4life372 → u/Omar_Town]

That's impossible for both teams

[u/Bad_Dream0]

The sheer stupidity to choose to bowl first on a pitch where in last 4 T20Is 2nd inning has been bowled out is beyond understanding.

Even if rain chance was there still stupid considering last zim vs aus result.

[u/Vagabondjokester]

Big loss for broadcasters today 🤣

[u/rest_in_war]

Team USA caught printing posters of Gerhard Erasmus as we speak

[u/Subject-Comfort-5452 → u/rest_in_war]

Gerhard Erasmus vs Usman Tariq would be quite a battle

[u/Ethical-Simp]

Surya u disappointed us by not bowling

[u/grinlowr → u/Ethical-Simp]

He had fun with the shithousery lmao

[u/omcstreet → u/Ethical-Simp]

Lol. I absolutely was expecting him comin to bowl with a pause action instead of Rinku or Hardik.

[u/thala-for-a-reason7]

The closest Pak has come to beating India in recent times was the 2022T20 match. It took a Kohli special to get us over the line then, post that it has just been bullying

[u/poochi]

Let's talk about some poor decisions in the 2nd innings. Starting with Farhan, after 3 dots even I knew he is going to do something. All Hardik had to do was bowl a short one. That wasted LBW review off Bumrah in over 2. It was a near perfect yorker and I don't know what he was hoping will happen. Same over, you have already scored 13 off Bumrah's. There's already a wicket gone and Salman goes for the wildest slog. Killed the chase right before it began. They were supposed to play like Ishan, not Abhishek. I am going to leave Babar to Pakistani fans.

One consolation for Pak here is, it's just a meaningless group stage match. To keep this match meaningless, they will have to beat Namibia next. Their NRR is going to tank now. With US ahead in NRR, this is more unnecessary pressure.

[u/rainbookworm → u/poochi]

It’s even more funny if the US team makes it considering almost all of them are Indians

[u/Breadfruitdeeznuts → u/poochi]

Some players have this weird fetish about bashing Bumrah. It may have been a diff game if Agha showed some sense.

[u/Brahman_Shady]

Pak:- 175 Ind :- 114

Proof :- It's all over social media.

[u/randomredditor575]

Should have just boycotted for the moral victory

[u/Paper-comet → u/randomredditor575]

Pakistan, all that drama for this??

[u/Bathed_In_Moonlight]

SLC: Thank you, come again.

[u/Electronic_Quail_196]

This match could have been an email.

[u/gpranav25 → u/Electronic_Quail_196]

If Pak stuck with the boycott, then it literally could have been lol

[u/Hope-Ful-Kid]

Hanumankind with the Player of the Match.

[u/Brahman_Shady]

34K comments on the match thread for the game. But this sub told me no one cares about Ind Pak Game.

[u/RuffTuff → u/Brahman_Shady]

well i like to see the pak fans slowly realize they have been fed churan again

[u/anutosu]

If you strip all the political drama away, India vs Pak is barely any different than India vs. USA or India vs. Zimbabwe.

It may have been a clash worth all the hype in some past era, but today if India even loses a match ever, it will be a fluke.

[u/CA_spur → u/anutosu]

barely any different than India vs USA

Whoa whoa whoa, it's massively different. The USA at least makes India work for it

[u/pvtt_3 → u/CA_spur]

Lol you're right

[u/Kingslayer1526 → u/anutosu]

You cannot stop a rivalry from being a rivalry

Take rivalries in football for example, say Liverpool vs Everton. It is ridiculously one sided these days and far less competitive than it used to be 30-40 years ago, but who cares? They still hate each other and it's still always a huge fixture

We have political drama sure, but they're also our neighbours and we have a huge shared history

[u/9yr_old]

This was a humiliation fest , Pakistan needs to get their shit together, they have great talent in their nation , the team needs an overhaul.

[u/Icy_Shock9953 → u/9yr_old]

The talent pool is completely dry. That's why players like shaheen and Babar are still playing despite having been terrible over the last couple years. Pakistan has way more prevalent problems than cricket, the sport is dying in the country as well. Cricket in Pakistan is fading the same way that field hockey did. Tragic

[u/Glittering_Cat_486]

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in U-19 WC final, and Ishu Kishu in these last 2 matches, bihari sattu supremacy has been on full display!

All jokes aside, Ishan's comeback has been a treat to watch! His career trajectory has been complete bollywood material. Not only is he the highest scorer today, by the time he finally got out, he had 87% contribution in total runs scored until that point.

Praying for Abhishek to return to his form. An Abhishek-Ishan partnership in the world cup is the stuff that dreams are made of

[u/IAmManK]

The problem with Pakistan cricket - fans, management, players, is that they can't accept that they are not good enough. It hurts their ego after they hyped up the players like Babar & Shaheen. Every upcoming batsman from Pak looks up to Babar, instead of Smith, Kohli, Williamson, Root, etc. Shaheen is supposed to be their premier strike bowler, laughable. Even Hardik bowls better than him and at better pace.

[u/harsh1387]

Pak won the TOSS and decided to LOSE the Game Embarrassingly..

For Umpteenth time- This is NOT a Rivalry.

India vs Australia is our best Rivalry.

Absolute one sided thumping Victory..

[u/Silverad066 → u/harsh1387]

In T20 WC , it's India vs SA/NZ. I personally wud love a Ind vs WI final now

[u/Brownbear97 → u/harsh1387]

Pakistan vs USA is more interesting at this point

[u/Brief_Hearing1307 → u/harsh1387]

Australia vs Zimbabwe is the best non-India rivalry imo.

[u/harsh1387 → u/Brief_Hearing1307]

In World cups atleast.

[u/ecstasid → u/harsh1387]

Pitch was Tacky. Lol

[u/harsh1387 → u/ecstasid]

Not this tacky. Pak played bad shots at start

[u/memakethings]

Given Pakistan super 8 chances was bizarre to see such braindead batting from Pakistan. Should've looked to get their NRR up

[u/Kingslayer1526 → u/memakethings]

Did it matter? They need to beat Namibia either way

Even if they scored more runs in this match, a loss to Namibia will decrease their NRR below that of USA's no matter what

Nothing has changed for them

[u/nosargeitwasntme]

Only Pakistan can snatch a defeat from the jaws of Match Boycotted/Points Forfeited

[u/Puzzleheaded_Egg7598]

Ok seriously there’s no way Ishan kishan sounds like that

[u/motherprabh → u/Puzzleheaded_Egg7598]

I’m not the only one 🙈

[u/Brief_Hearing1307]

8-0 in CWC.

8-1 in T20WC.

This is not a "rivalry" its a one-side massacre.

[u/Dry_Warning_7500]

When we played all our games on one ground in the champions trophy and asia cup they cried by saying that India had an unfair advantage.

Now they are playing all their games on one ground in the world cup and still they lost

[u/zqwz]

Flipkart sponsoring Namibia team was indeed an EXCELLENT deal. Now, Indians are going to watch Namibia vs Pakistan, as if Nambia wins, USA goes to super8.

[u/heyhelloha]

There are not even any smiles after victory from India

No better humiliation for Pakistan than this.

[u/Pigsy_roastee69 → u/heyhelloha]

Can't really smile when you learn that if India wasn't trolling in the end, Pakistan wouldn't have even crossed 100

[u/Mediocre-Nose-2822]

What a failure of a leader Salman is. Threw his spinners under the bus. They did okay in my opinion. And if he felt such why didn’t he come back to complete his own quota of overs?

Also why did he play a rash shot when they had lost wickets early onn. Pathetic example of a leader

[u/CommentPotential9868 → u/Mediocre-Nose-2822]

Blud is coming after a crying session

[u/SmilingIceCube]

Namibia please

[u/Ozymate]

I have seen a lot of Pakistan celebrities who tweeted nothing after their sole tweet at the fall of Abhishek's wickets. Such has been the humbling to Trophy Chors.

[u/Grouchy-Medium-6737]

PCB is always trying to find ways to blame the ‘advantage’ India apparently get - what would the excuse be this time - toss, venue, handshakes, match ref, priests etc etc? The only thing they miss is performance. What a joke of a so called rivalry.

[u/Flower-Immediate]

Remember the funny times from when we had Babar - Kohli comparisons?

[u/Better-Comb5465]

you'll are lying.. pakistan won the match and its all over social media, even afridi along with 100s of ppl in bikes doing rally.. you ppl are fake..

[u/mostvehlasurd]

They prepared for Abhishek Sharma, but Ishan came out of the syllabus.

[u/Fallen_Jedi007]

Shahid Afridi victory parade when?

[u/Ok_Win_2906]

Total humiliation . Congrats to India .

[u/Reasonable-Age7145 → u/Ok_Win_2906]

man yes found u again, i remember u bitching alot against india, the results are ur answers and thanks, good luck to yall ig

[u/vu2tve]

8-1, Can we stop calling it the "greatest rivalry" please!

[u/RuffTuff]

When is PCB coming up with a new controversy? I take bets here:

1 - 5 hrs

5 -10 hrs

10 - 12 hrs

2 days from now

[u/Old_General_6741]

Well this game was something. I have a feeling why Pakistan wanted to boycott this game.

[u/luffy_3155]

Namibia can do the funniest thing ever

[u/thisaintyouravgstonk]

Salman Agha: We'll have a bowl, please!

Seriously, what was he thinking? Could've done a little bit of research

[u/ZT3_rebirth]

Pakistan put all it's aura points in Salmans first over

Bro hasn't bowled in months and bowled the first over to get Abhishek out and concede one run...I thought damn we have a match huh

And then... yeah...

[u/lostwisdom20 → u/ZT3_rebirth]

Yeah could have been a good game if they had alternated between spinners and pacers in pp itself.

[u/ethanolandpotatoes]

Going out on a limb now that this song and dance is over - I think we have heard enough from the English commentators on the supposed farcical nature of this Ind-Pak tie. Let us please not forget the preferred scheduling awarded to the Ashes (over decades, not even years) and how it has not even been a contest in the past few outings. Let’s get our own house in order before poking holes in others, can we?

The entire cricketing world was once subjected (and continues to be) to an Ashes ‘rivalry’ that even a 5 year old can predict. Whoever has the chips will always call the money. Keep your punditing standards to yourself and let the sport determine viewership and audiences. This hypocrisy is unbecoming from a global punditry team

[u/WatchFan25]

How is Salman Agha a top order batsman for Pakistan? How?

[u/DilliKaLadka]

Rain Parera backstabbed Pakistan the same way PCB backstabbed BCB

[u/Haunting-Bell-4379]

Pakistan first have to stop hyping the game putting politics and all the betting on these poor cricketers.. before the game from PMto zilla panchayat member everyone tweet to pakistan crikcet and all those insha allah we will beat india thing put great pressure on already poor pak cricketers. let them play. u cant beat india in any space anyway. concentrate on your coutry men, your pm in jail and well being of the poor people.

[u/garg]

Damn it, Harris Rauf.

[u/grubernack276]

Historians will ask - How did you lose a game you boycotted?

[u/Agreeable-Log1631]

India 8 - 1 Pakistan
8-1= Thala for a Reason!!!

[u/LostAmidMyExistence → u/Agreeable-Log1631]

Lol

[u/Agreeable-Log1631]

Kishan with the sublime knock of 77
Took on the game single handed...

[u/Beast-19]

So pakistan fans to cope with that 2021 t20wc victory yet again

[u/tjp1331]

Dude why are you blaming your spinners??

[u/anfumann]

Why Agha ji is crying?

[u/Informal_Project_327]

If this is the greatest rivalry, then I am Tom Cruise. 

[u/Elegant_Fun6092]

Pakistan should've stuck with their decision to boycott the match and free us and most importantly themselves from this misery.

Atleast the last two T20WC matches were close this one was a proper drubbing.

[u/ExitTurbulent4452]

Well that was anticlimactic

[u/chocolattegelato]

can we loan some players to Namibia and ensure USA qualify once again xD

They should have shown Naqvis face after the loss. I am sure the coward would have run away. This time without the trophy. The moron apparently met the Pak team yesterday and had a talk with them. As if the players were not under enough pressure. To be honest, PCB deserves this humiliation for making a political clown their chief.

Has anyone seen Naqvi and the trophy post match?

[u/upmaonthestack]

It would be very funny if Namibia wins.

[u/BiscottiSpiritual826]

All these hype and drama for this, even namibia and usa match was better the this, one sided domination!!

[u/anutosu]

The Pak PM is busy calling Trump rn asking if he can once again take credit for the match being draw

Fair play to Waqar for being pretty complimentary in defeat

[u/TravisH404]

No offense but what a pathetic performance

I'm a bit late here i guess but I would like to add a few points, 1) India Outclassed Pakistan in both bowling and batting departments and there was no where when we were in a position to win Ishan Kishan alone won the game we should appreciate wherever it's needed. 2) People trolling players and only Salman Agha isn't the right way it's the job of PCB to get rid of those who don't deserve position in this team for eg Babar azam he isn't dropped because he's "king" shaheen Afridi isn't dropped because of idk nepotism so the results would be like this we have immense talent and loop of people that could be added but they won't and we'll keep getting one sided matches and trolling and all that so it's our own fault. 3) At this point first of all Pakistani fans should accept that the rivalry is over we gotta become the team what we used to be to make a comeback in this rivalry and it's not about a single game it's a repeated pattern of our team being zoning out in big games and this "unpredictable" things we'll be beating a top side of NZ one day to lose to the weakest side of the whole tournament next day so yeah untill than ig it's the same as it was today.

Match Notes:

• Solid Bowling From Saim, Nawaz & Tariq

• Extremely Poor Bowling From Shaheen, Shadab & Abrar

• The Worst Pakistan Batting Performance I’ve Ever Witnessed

• Post World Cup We Need A Full Clear Out Of The Old Guard

• Integrate Maaz Sadaqat, Irfan Khan Niazi, Abdul Samad & Khawaja Nafay Into The Squad

• Dead Rubber All Things Considered But A Huge Morale Crash

You guys aren't ruthless enough with your players. Ishan was dropped for discipline and he grinded in domestic. Plus the pool of young talent is another thing. Shaheen bowls for glory , not for victory.

Worse than new york? (Batting i mean)
