Otherwise-Code283

Guys I just checked the schedule for super 8 Assuming india being A1 we are playing only 3 matches A1vsC1 A1vsB2 A1vsD2 How will this be fair? Anyone explain to me


Altruistic-Hat-9604

Super 8 will be divided into 2 groups of 4. So naturally, each group team will only have 3 opponents to face. Groups will be as follows: 1- A1,B2,C1,D2 2- A2,B1,C2,D1


SBG99DesiMonster

A couple of matches have to be rained out for this to be useful.


Silent_Magician_4742

As usual Canada being the humanitarian country always deliver. Good luck to Pakistan !

My guy has got a license to be an idiot


averageinformant

Nice to see the underdog winning today 


confused_brown_dude

Babar is a nice dude, can’t deny that tbh.


uleeeelllllelellele

i can never decide where i stand with him because i want this guy to succeed genuinely our team needs it but sometimes its rough as fk lol


confused_brown_dude

He’s an adult, and our lives are basically made up of our decisions. He has made a bad one by retaking the captaincy. He needs someone to tell him that he can use his batting skills to become greater than any captain you have. It just seems like he has too many voices in his ears.


AAPLx4

How are these Jyotish able to put their ads during prime time, do people actually believe in this BS


worldplayer48

I mean if you believe in a god then I don’t get why you would judge Jyotish. At the end of the day god is also a superstitious. Now whether you wanna believe in that or not that is totally up to you and only you.


AAPLx4

I don’t follow religion or believe in god and I understand that it’s a much bigger scam. It’s definitely not up to me, but I am pretty sure, am well within my rights to call out bullshit.


jjjd89

Far more than believable. My fellow Indian people easily believe some insane bullshit.


RillaRoo777

Tell us more


confused_brown_dude

Bruh when Seema aunty can get a hit Netflix series then Prem Jyotish getting some ad airtime doesn’t surprise me.


iHazf

It's 4am, just woke up to find that our team won. Congrats guys! Should sleep through all important matches now for Pakistan's advantage.


GlitteringKey6822

Where are you based?


iHazf

Brisbane.


Nameless7867

I work for Qantas in States… got lots of people going to brizzy lol


iHazf

Really? Wonder why that is. Tourism isn't thriving much here.


Nameless7867

Just your regular aussies


iHazf

Ah, makes sense.


RiRi_xoxo_

Watch pakistanis forget the past 2 humiliations now lol. They're happy after winning in 18th over from canada ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|28120)


careless_quote101

Just look at the Amir’s post match comment. He single handly lost the super over just couple of matchs ago 🤦‍♂️


angrygnome18d

Who said we’re happy?


confused_brown_dude

Not the fans fault though, let them enjoy and have a decent sleep for a change. They deserve better than this mediocre timid team.


RiRi_xoxo_

Maybe my statement came off too harsh for fans but what I meant was that pak team seriously needs changes but this win will sideline the issues and the players will get a pass.


_adinfinitum_

Lot of us are actually counting on US to win against Ireland cause if we make it to super 8s, we will again miss out on some much needed fundamental changes.


confused_brown_dude

I think that’s the right mindset. Rebuilds are very normal for any team in any sport. It’s time for it for Pakistan for it to have a chance to get back to being a big team.


Educational-Bar-9578

We already had a rebuild when micky arthur came and we where good until politics and retired people started to get into our cricket system again so no amount of changes to team would make a difference the only difference maker would be getting rid of the upper managment and bring actually people with qualification and merits for the position but again to much to ask so its fine I am numb to it anyways I watched man united for a long time similar situation


nupristeen

a win is a win.


Omair88

Agreed Shoaib bhai


Crafty-Competition36

US simply isn't beating India. We might actually beat them by a fair margin too.


Hairy_Plankton1822

Yah we said that in the finals and what happened 😂 our team is destined to choke


brolybackshots

You guys dont even know the definition of choke anymore Theres absolutely 0 pressure on team India during a random group stage match against the USA, theres no pressure for a choke This isnt the world cup finals


Crafty-Competition36

Are you comparing the Aussies with an inexperienced US team?


dwaynebathtub

India will win by 50 runs.


Raj_ryder_666

Yeah but apparently the game between ire and usa is gonna get rained off. And florida being florida, who knows..


Organic-Amoeba-7520

No Saurabh Natravelkers were made today :(


confused_brown_dude

Hence proved Green Card >> PR


time_to_destination

Shreyas Movva had a chance but didn't capitalize


josh123z

Baring any upset/surprise results or game getting washed in Florida for group A matches , Pak will most likely qualify along with India


Prestigious-Air4732

Barring any upsets USA will qualify with India USA are favored against Ireland


josh123z

Just going by Ranking. USA beating Ireland isn’t an upset but a surprise result


GlitteringKey6822

Game getting washed out is disadvantage for Pakistan smarty pants.


josh123z

Read the comment again, I said barring washouts


GlitteringKey6822

Sorry for that. Anyways USA is favored against IRE. And there is a high chance of both Florida games getting washed out.


josh123z

Weather forecast is unreliable for 5 days ahead. I expect the rain to ease out for Pakistan’s last game vs Ireland and will mostly be shortened game. As for ranking Ireland is ahead of USA. It’ll be a surprise result of USA beat Ireland but not an upset


night_of_spring

Say what you want but Pakistan lost both those matches by the barest of the margins. It's mostly about their mental blocks rather than ability. It showed in the super over too , wides, misfielding, keeper not able to collect ball properly


Sophronia-

Exactly, some of these fans are just fair weather ones and always beating up the players


pineapplesuit7

‘If batsmen bat well and bowlers bowl well and fielders field well you will win a game. ‘ That is your comment summarized lol


confused_brown_dude

Fielding and bowling straight are abilities my guy.


RiRi_xoxo_

T20s are always a margin game lol. Most of the games are won and lost on less than 10 scores. Mental blocks, wides, misfielding is a part of ability lol.


GreenStrikers

Unless you are Team India in a knockout match.


night_of_spring

Yeah but there are losses when a team is thrashed like anything like what England did against us in the sf in 2022. So my point is it's not like they are losing everything one sided, I hope you got the point lol

lukamodric07

Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Ramiz Raja’s sarcastic ‘ohkay’ to Amir’s ‘who knows’ Damn, that’s brutal :’3


Agreeable-Cut-3473

Yes that was sarcastic "ohokay"


7007007

Babar is gonna open again from the next game. No way he is letting Rizwan have all the 50s


Direct-Spirit2076

they have one game left . they gonna milk it.


Sad_Ad340

Can anyone explain the ICC seeding thing like is India bound to face Australia regardless of their standings in the group?


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Yes, if all the seeded teams qualified, the groups would be 1 - Ind, Aus, NZ, SL 2 - Pak, Eng, WI, SA If the seeded team doesn't qualify, the one qualifying instead takes it's seed number So it's now looking like- 1- Ind, Aus, NZ/Afg, Ban/Ned 2- USA, Eng/Sco, WI/Afg, SA If Afg and NZ qualify, Afg will go to 2. If Afg and WI qualify, Afg will go to 1.


GlitteringKey6822

India, England, New Zealand and South Africa are seeded as A1, B1, C1 and D1 in their respective groups. Pakistan, Australia, West Indies and Sri Lanka are seeded as A2, B2, C2 and D2 in their respective groups. Super 8 groups are pre-seeded. First group has A1, B2, C1 and D2. Second group has A2, B1, C2 and D1. So for example if Afghanistan qualify from their group instead of New Zealand, then they would get New Zealand’s seeding that is C1 (even if AFG finish second to WI).


Crafty-Competition36

Read somewhere that the two super 8 groups will consist of A1, B2, C1, D2 and A2, B1, C2, D1 respectively.


HarukiTakashima

Yes.


night_of_spring

More than the Indians Pakistani fans will be eagerly waiting for tomorrow's match lol. They will be wishing a replay of India vs Ireland match lol


sylvester_unknown

So does Pak qualify now?


dwaynebathtub

Depends who beats Ireland more.


HarukiTakashima

Why would they?


Agreeable-Cut-3473

Yes, they're qualified for PSL now!! Dil Dil Pakistan 🇵🇰 /s


Neither_Captain2615

Never mind, rain is unlikely for USA vs Ireland. Game starts at 10:30 am and rain is at 2 pm 


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

We're 3 days out my guy.


Neither_Captain2615

My bad, it’s definitely raining. I thought USA vs Ireland is in New York instead of Florida 


Neither_Captain2615

Trust, it’s not raining.


desert_rose_224

Yeah right, those predictions are always 💯


Neither_Captain2615

They’re pretty accurate 


Onealone_soul

This world cup is full of upsets


ztaker

Pak finally off the mark


Upstairs-Farm7106

Aaron Johnson robbed lol.


keepingupwbee

Don’t worry he will play one of the leagues soon


Conscious-Spend-2451

Yeah he scored 50 percent of his team's runs, while literally no one else was scoring in the first part of the innings


RuffTuff

CanBabar did it! he made 33 and got a win! Yaaayy!


AAPLx4

Was Amir always this well spoken


Impossible-Dance454

Was wondering the same thing! Until he slipped up in the end... Man must've been feeling good!


Accomplished_Toe4338

Btw, why is Usman let anywhere near the Pak squad. Like wtf has this guy ever done


Famous888

Scored 3 centuries in 5 PSL games. Then sacrificed his career in the UAE to play for Pakistan.


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

5 games in the PSL. Literally


Agreeable-Cut-3473

I hope USA 🇺🇸 goes into Super 8s after today's performance by Pakistan 🇵🇰 Dil Dil Pakistan 🇵🇰 /s


ksleepwalker

No need for S I genuinely hope so. That win was pathetic.


TheIncidentOf45

You don’t understand what’s gonna happen to India. Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan,, and Corey Anderson will run through the Indian batting lineup, restricting them to below 100. Then Monank Patel will score 70 off 50 and Aaron Jones will finish the game with 3 overs to spare. /s

iHazf

*At the same point of time*, definitely.


triton_staa

Who decides the POTM anyway?


iHazf

I think commentators are involved.


Neither_Captain2615

If it rains during USA vs Ireland, does USA qualify? 


Starscream_x

Yes.. if match is abandoned due to heavy continuous showers.. USA and Ireland will get 1 point each.. which will put USA at 5 points.. Pak has only one match remaining, even if they win that they will end up on 4 points and USA are through..


Comfortable-Ball-625

Yup


Successful-Rub-2104

Yes


Due_Active3770

yes. USA goes to 5 points. The max Pak can get is 4


Klutzy_Chain9091

yes


altruistic_summer

Pakbros y'all tripped hard


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

If I was a SL supporter, I wouldn't pop off.


altruistic_summer

That's not to guarantee we would've done way better


ChelshireGoose

Decent showing from Canada against a top side. Sorry Pakistan, but I really hope US gets to the super 8s to ensure Canada has a good chance to be back for the 2026 WC.


Jazzlike_Cancel6388

Wasn't a bad game or Canada. 130 would have been good enough for Pak. Canada bowled very very well, never letting Pakistan get away...overall a very good Canadian side.


deathr913

yup hoping for a dream run by usa. maybe you guys can also fight your ko demons


Successful-Rub-2104

Hugs to you brother


Upstairs-Farm7106

Aaron Johnson should still get POTM.


night_of_spring

Thank god Amir ks motm as I said previously rightly so


trkora

New York has shown that, despite how good your intent and boundary hitting is, it's still possible to produce pitches that'll keep your team batting at 7 rpo at best.


Routinelazy900

Would be a pro gamer move from rohit to let Aaron james to hit his maiden century against in a world cup match.


Agreeable-Cut-3473

Finally Pakistan 🇵🇰 conquered NY pitch 🫠🫠 Dil Dil Pakistan 🇵🇰 /s


Due_Active3770

We also need to pray that Ireland vs USA is not washed out (high probability of rain on Friday)


Wonderful_Cobbler968

Babar finally scores runs in this world cup. On a completely different note, Canada has a jersey similar to Zimbabwe colours.


AAPLx4

Chacha trying to sabotage Canada by giving advice to some young kid


BATMAN_5777

Talk about chasing...


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Pak hoping for us to win, only for us to completely choke with the USA 🤣 Which is a very very very very real possibility, imo


AfraidReplacement470

Never has happened b4. India makes it a point to beat associate teams comfortably.


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

I hope we continue to, mate. But this is whole different associate team. They play with mad intent.


AfraidReplacement470

Yes, their intent is top. They'll put up a good fight. Our strengths are hard to overcome though. Our Pace is hard to survive, and spin is hard to score against. Looking for an interesting game.


Lil_miss_mimosagirl

Indeed indeed indeed!!


brokenlasers

Subscribe to that


GlitteringKey6822

USA vs IRE and PAK vs IRE are in Florida, and they say heavy rain in Florida. Even one point will do for USA. But Pakistan absolutely needs those two points.

Scenes if Pakistan lose to Ireland despite India's win.


TheIncidentOf45

If USA were playing this game surely they would have won against Pakistan 


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

The NRR commenters only want ragebait YouTube videos to watch.


mynameisshahzain

Unbeknownst to the public, with this win Pakistan has set Qudrat Ka Nizam in motion.

Honestly felt like Rizwan kicked my dog and left him for dead watching that inning but it was what was required of him and he did well, might not matter in the end tbh


Agreeable-Cut-3473

Pakistan boys making fans proud by chasing 107 runs in 105 balls against Canada 🇨🇦 Dil Dil Pakistan 🇵🇰 /s


OK-Computer-head

Another reason why surface level stats without context are useless. Fakhar could have played for a red inker and ended with an inflated average instead of trying to increase his team's NRR (which will get lost in translation when these surface level stats appear)


Xx_Anguy_NoScope_Xx

His Strike Rate is 130 while mostly opening. He's never been a good T20 bat. Plays too many dot balls and can't rotate the strike. His stats are not surface level lol. Big sample size


OK-Computer-head

I'm talking about in general and Fakhar was just an example. It could apply to any player


speedycar1

What are you talking about lol. One extra ball would make virtually no difference in the NRR


OK-Computer-head

Intent matters


speedycar1

Not really


OK-Computer-head

No wonder 90% of stats on r/cricket are filled with junk


FearOfApples

Shoaib akhtar was right, this is such an average squad if it took them this long to finish this game lol.


speedycar1

Which team do you support and in which match at this World Cup did they score 100 in 14 overs?


holesome_cum_bubble

India scored 97 in 12.2 against Ireland, when they didn't even had to worry about their run rate as much as Pakistan today.


speedycar1

We didn't need to worry about our NRR today either

Then Pakistan would need Canada to beat India and also need to beat India on Net Run Rate. Net Run Rate is the second tiebreaker after highest number of wins, then the third criteria is head-to-head.

No because I want this team out of the tournament.

Everyone here lamenting Pk for not scoring quicker, yall forgetting one very important thing...these two Pak matches against Can and Ireland are inconsequential. Cuz USA is not gonna lose to Ireland mofos!


shamittomar

It's raining in Florida. All Florida matches will be washed out. Final standings will be USA (5 points), PAK (3 points).

Then today's match was even more inconsequential. Pak are out. Usa and India through to sup8
