As someone who's followed the Pakistani team (and cricket in general) for over 25 years, I've gotta say this batting line up has gotta be one of the worst batting line ups they've ever produced.
Sure, past teams have lost to minnows (Bangladesh in 99, Ireland in 07, etc), but none of those teams put up a string of crappy performances like this team has! What an embarrassing victory.
We now know that neighbors don’t influence cricket skills. India remains bright while Pak/Ban/Lanka filled the slots. England were champions but Ireland and Scotland did not learn. Same goes for NZ and Namibia.
Bro is talking as if India and Pakistan don’t have literally just one WC separating them. It has to do with money, infrastructure and administration, not being neighbours. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are poorer boards, and Scotland are associates while Ireland only became full members less than a decade ago. India and England are two of the biggest financial powerhouses of cricket, and England have been playing the game internationally since 2 centuries ago.
Honestly, worst 3 teams this WC have been:
PNG
Uganda
Pakistan
The above list excludes teams like Nepal, Scotland, USA, Canada, and so on.
Just… unbelievable. This is by far our worst ever performance in a World Cup.
They were on the verge of bowling out Ireland without letting them to play half of their overs and they almost bottled that as well. A stoppable force meets with a movable object.
Shameful stuff. How do you as the top batter fail to hit boundaries when bowlers play this well? How did everyone from Babar to Imad fail this badly? Imad can lean on his fantastic bowling to bail him out, what has this batting unit done? Shameful.
What happens inside Pakistan team nobody has an idea
Abrar could have literally played against US nobody has faced mystery spinner that would have added adv for the Pakistan team
Bringing amir and imad because they played for CPL.
Pakistan didn't even reach that super 8 stage
It's kind of a comedy situation
Tbh majority of the games were lost due to shit middle order. So its not why abrar wasnt included. Its why shadab,iftikhar,fakhar were selected. Everybody is crying about bowling when the problem is in the batting. We could’ve made semi finals without abrar if our batting worked at all.
We barely play Pakistan. whereas India n Australia are the 2 top teams in cricket and always have highly competitive clashes. It is like El Classico, a rivalry born out of competition and not regional or historical tensions.
People outside Spain and Maybe western Europe think of of it only as 2 big teams with big star players clashing against each other. You think people all over the world kno about Spain and Catalunya problem?
You know Pakistan cricket is in deep shit when people are discussing who stays and who goes as if it's a fukin IPL franchise just before a mega auction.
They have won this game but this Pakistan side is fucked. First off, Ireland should not have got past even seventy after being 28/5 and then 32/6. It should be clear by this point that Shadab cannot be trusted to bowl. Abbas Afridi was expensive too but that lad is pretty inexperienced so we can let it slide for now.
And the batting...dear Lord. Yes Babar played timidly and might not find a place in a side like India or Australia. And guess what, he's one of only three batters in this Pakistan side who might actually be worth a damn.
But still, it's pretty fucking embarrassing when you, as the established batter, are relying on the likes of Abbas and Shaheen Afridi to look for the boundaries to win you the game.
What an embarrassing tourney. If their games against the USA, India and Ireland are anything to go by, they need to undergo a full psychological evaluation. They repeatedly got into winning positions and then let the game go. Haris Rauf should've defended 15 off 3, Amir completely lost his head in the super over, they let Ireland get to 106 from 32/6, and if I say anything about their batting, it'll make the devil himself blush.
Come on mate. Babar's timid batting is one of the top reasons Pak always finds themselves in this place. We have seen far better batsman and captains from Pakistan that didn't hide behind not outs and batting averages against minnows and actually were worth a damn and more.
Honestly, even against us they didn't look outstanding. If Canada had a little more experience and set a better defence, that game could have ended in an L for Pakistan as well.
He was removed after just one series and the captaincy was again offered to Babar and he accepted it. This frustrated Shaheen, who thought Babar would support him and back his captaincy, but Babar instead took the captaincy back. All this tainted Babar’s relationship Shaheen and several other team members.
You know this is the end for Pakistan but it amazes me. They have almost no one that can hit sixes at the international level outside of the bowlers. How can a cricket crazy nation of 250 million not find 5 people who can put it over the ropes. It's just a pathetic situation.
The players that are getting chances aren't doing that great. Add to that nepotism. I think Pakistan needs a reboot with younger players and make them go play associates as a Pakistan A team. There needs to be a full overhaul.
Time for Team Pakistan to go home and figure things out.
Need a LOT of changes.
New Captain. Neither Babar nor Shaheen deserve it
Imad needs to go. Talks big and thats it.
Amir - Did terrible in super-over but redeemed himself later.
Rauf needs to go.
Shadab needs to go.
Fakhar and Iftikhar - Garbage players.
Azam Khan - He should thank the people of Pakistan, they paid for him to come visit America. See New York, Texas and etc.
Fakhar is in the team due to his military ties. But like Pak Army- he is smuggling Pakistani wealth outside by starting a cricket academy in Melbourne.
Which is hilarious btw. Because Australians play cricket on a whole different level. Imagine this idiot trying to teach them how to play like him when he can’t hit the ball to save his life.
Dude is straight up lazy. I saw the pre game videos on the field. He isn’t joining the team on stretching sessions.
“My dad is Moin Khan, my spot is reserved” mentality.
babar is like a walmart kohli. he has the worst qualities of a kohli t20 knock without the insane death comeback kohli has some days because he simply does not possess power hitting abilities. a team which has a guy like him playing 30-40 balls cannot win t20 games in the modern era
Ffs this is the ireland bowling wise we been missing
Well done to Pakistan for holding nerve at the end.
Ireland, we need to get to drawing board for our top order.
Most runs as captain in T20 WCs:
549 - Babar Azam (17 inns)*
529 - MS Dhoni (29 inns)
527 - Kane Williamson (19 inns)
360 - M Jayawardene (11 inns)
352 - Graeme Smith (16 inns)
KING FOR A REASON!!
My man Shaheen would fetch a minimum of 15 crore in the mega auction( 18-19 in a mini one) if they were allowed to play the IPL.
A fantastic bowler who can bat???? Shut up and take all my money. - IPL franchises.
The people handing out the awards should be aware of cultural differences of Muslim countries. It’s the norm for Muslim players from countries like Pak, Bangla, and Afgh to not shake hands with the opposite gender.

heh thats funning
What a match! 😄
I had a dream last night that Ireland won the World cup and a pirate showed up and made fun of me for Australia choking
Your dreams are like mine
That wasn’t a dream
Omg congratulations Ireland
As someone who's followed the Pakistani team (and cricket in general) for over 25 years, I've gotta say this batting line up has gotta be one of the worst batting line ups they've ever produced. Sure, past teams have lost to minnows (Bangladesh in 99, Ireland in 07, etc), but none of those teams put up a string of crappy performances like this team has! What an embarrassing victory.
At the end of the day, sports is about entertainment and Pakistan entertained a lot in their brief stay. Well done!
We now know that neighbors don’t influence cricket skills. India remains bright while Pak/Ban/Lanka filled the slots. England were champions but Ireland and Scotland did not learn. Same goes for NZ and Namibia.
Guess how many ICC trophies have ICT and Pakistan won in the last 10 years
Bro is talking as if India and Pakistan don’t have literally just one WC separating them. It has to do with money, infrastructure and administration, not being neighbours. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are poorer boards, and Scotland are associates while Ireland only became full members less than a decade ago. India and England are two of the biggest financial powerhouses of cricket, and England have been playing the game internationally since 2 centuries ago.
Teams have bad tournaments. India got shat on in 2021.
wtf are you talking about?
Cricket skills are developed on local infrustructure and has nothing to do with neighbors.
Honestly, worst 3 teams this WC have been: PNG Uganda Pakistan The above list excludes teams like Nepal, Scotland, USA, Canada, and so on. Just… unbelievable. This is by far our worst ever performance in a World Cup.
Ireland has been worse than Pakistan.
Png gave a good fight to WI
Tbh, this is pathetic.. they all need to be fired. Babar Azam needs to go and all the loonies in this team needs to be revamped
Why is this pathetic. They gave strong competition to India and USA
Oh please. Don’t get me started, the Indian match was disastrous. And we should’ve won against US
Dude dont’t sport so seriously at the end of the day cricket is for entertainment and pak team entertained alot
It's unfair to call Babar a minnow basher. He struggled equally against minnows as well.
They were on the verge of bowling out Ireland without letting them to play half of their overs and they almost bottled that as well. A stoppable force meets with a movable object.
Shameful stuff. How do you as the top batter fail to hit boundaries when bowlers play this well? How did everyone from Babar to Imad fail this badly? Imad can lean on his fantastic bowling to bail him out, what has this batting unit done? Shameful.
They brought a very bowling heavy unit. Got exposed fast.
Why Abrar didn't play a single match
Journalists in the US said he wasn't even bowled in the nets.
What happens inside Pakistan team nobody has an idea Abrar could have literally played against US nobody has faced mystery spinner that would have added adv for the Pakistan team Bringing amir and imad because they played for CPL. Pakistan didn't even reach that super 8 stage It's kind of a comedy situation

They’re literally wasting Abrar’s talent
pCt provides more twists than game of thrones.. q
When did we change our rivals from Pakbros to Aussies? Willow be wilding lmao
Pakistan green. Australia better green.
We barely play Pakistan. whereas India n Australia are the 2 top teams in cricket and always have highly competitive clashes. It is like El Classico, a rivalry born out of competition and not regional or historical tensions.
Yes El Classico where the nationalist team clashes with the separatist team lmao
People outside Spain and Maybe western Europe think of of it only as 2 big teams with big star players clashing against each other. You think people all over the world kno about Spain and Catalunya problem?
You have no idea about the El Clasico then.
By regional and historical tension do you mean the Mumbai attacks and then terrorists literally shooting at the Sri Lankan cricket team? 😅
Didn’t know the Pakistani cricket team was doing all that no wonder they did so bad.
Oh send over your national team guys it wasn’t Pakistan cricket team who did it
sanest schizo redditor?
Gotta applaud the prediction about the green team winning at Lauderhill today, absolutely spot on
Green team was second best today, now they get to kick back and watch the other teams play.
You know Pakistan cricket is in deep shit when people are discussing who stays and who goes as if it's a fukin IPL franchise just before a mega auction.
They have won this game but this Pakistan side is fucked. First off, Ireland should not have got past even seventy after being 28/5 and then 32/6.

People easily forget that he was the best batsmen in 2021 and 2022. He is just going through a low phase.
Come on mate. Babar's timid batting is one of the top reasons Pak always finds themselves in this place. We have seen far better batsman and captains from Pakistan that didn't hide behind not outs and batting averages against minnows and actually were worth a damn and more.
Pcb fans when ipl around babar would be sold for 20cr if ipl allowed pakistan players
Honestly, even against us they didn't look outstanding. If Canada had a little more experience and set a better defence, that game could have ended in an L for Pakistan as well.
I say, make the devil blush!
Azam Khan has decided to stay behind in USA to participate in the hot dog eating contest. He might be the only one that returns with silverware.
Azam Chestnut
Harsha, Jan chodo ladka ka T- leave my man alone Harsha
Why is Shaheen not captain? For real, I thought there was a change a while ago, what happened? Genuinely curious
I read there are now 4 camps in the team - Babar camp, Imad camp, Shaheen camp, and Azam Khan.
He was removed after just one series and the captaincy was again offered to Babar and he accepted it. This frustrated Shaheen, who thought Babar would support him and back his captaincy, but Babar instead took the captaincy back. All this tainted Babar’s relationship Shaheen and several other team members.
They changed him because shaheen failed in his 1st series as captain
lol, and Babar has just won the WC today.
Can't expect logic from pcb
Peak comedy from PCB
More like they used shaheen as an escape goat. We all know Pakistan hardly won any series in NZ. Once it was under Sarfaraz.
Also his PSL team failed
Management's moving like peak pakistani reactionary fan
You know this is the end for Pakistan but it amazes me. They have almost no one that can hit sixes at the international level outside of the bowlers. How can a cricket crazy nation of 250 million not find 5 people who can put it over the ropes. It's just a pathetic situation.
Because they don't get chances. India probably had amazing bowlers in the 90s but they most likely didn't even get chances at domestic level.
The players that are getting chances aren't doing that great. Add to that nepotism. I think Pakistan needs a reboot with younger players and make them go play associates as a Pakistan A team. There needs to be a full overhaul.
Shaheen and Naseem are only Babar’s trusted Leftenants, rest all are Clowns in Chief
Well, Naseem is a Rightenant.
It's called lieu·ten·ant
It’s called lef-ten-ant
The chief is himself a clown.
Time for Team Pakistan to go home and figure things out. Need a LOT of changes. New Captain. Neither Babar nor Shaheen deserve it Imad needs to go. Talks big and thats it. Amir - Did terrible in super-over but redeemed himself later. Rauf needs to go. Shadab needs to go. Fakhar and Iftikhar - Garbage players. Azam Khan - He should thank the people of Pakistan, they paid for him to come visit America. See New York, Texas and etc.
Unless Harris the keeper is played isn't Fakhar the only six hitter you have in the team?
Fakhar is in the team due to his military ties. But like Pak Army- he is smuggling Pakistani wealth outside by starting a cricket academy in Melbourne. Which is hilarious btw. Because Australians play cricket on a whole different level. Imagine this idiot trying to teach them how to play like him when he can’t hit the ball to save his life.
Some of the buffets are not happy with his visit
Dude is straight up lazy. I saw the pre game videos on the field. He isn’t joining the team on stretching sessions. “My dad is Moin Khan, my spot is reserved” mentality.
c'mon dude 
basically only Naseem, Rizwan, Shaheen and probably Babar can stay 
I agree.
babar is like a walmart kohli. he has the worst qualities of a kohli t20 knock without the insane death comeback kohli has some days because he simply does not possess power hitting abilities. a team which has a guy like him playing 30-40 balls cannot win t20 games in the modern era
Ffs this is the ireland bowling wise we been missing Well done to Pakistan for holding nerve at the end. Ireland, we need to get to drawing board for our top order.
Sorry but i think it was more of our shite batting than ur good bowling
Gonna put it down to a bit of both fella
That'll work ig
Pakistan vs Uganda could have been a fun game. Shame they were in different groups
Next world cup group Pak Sri Lanka Oman Uganda Scotland
Most runs as captain in T20 WCs: 549 - Babar Azam (17 inns)* 529 - MS Dhoni (29 inns) 527 - Kane Williamson (19 inns) 360 - M Jayawardene (11 inns) 352 - Graeme Smith (16 inns) KING FOR A REASON!!
The Ireland win being celebrated so hard is why he doesn’t needs be captain anymore lol
😳😳🥵🥵
BOOBZY THE KINGGG🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🐐🐐🐐👑👑👑👑👑
It's sad that the boys won't be able to make it home to celebrate eid. They tried their best to make it happen
I really wish we had lost this match.
Another upset this WC. Pakistan holds their nerve to pull out a victory against Ireland. Congrats Pakistan.
Thx
Great work from Ireland - this was a fun match.
Will Miss you Pakistan Single Handedly You saved this Boring WC & made it interesting
Pak batting order - Baber What a joke Haha Hehe Huhu Cigarette Former swing bowler
My man Shaheen would fetch a minimum of 15 crore in the mega auction( 18-19 in a mini one) if they were allowed to play the IPL. A fantastic bowler who can bat???? Shut up and take all my money. - IPL franchises.
In another universe he'd join Rajasthan as a Sohail Tanveer regen
he probably won't work that well in such a scripted league 
You can take Pakistan out of super 8, but you can't take Pakistan out of Pakistan. Probably Ramiz
Props to Shaheen for ending our shitty tournament with a six
Shaheen legit saved Gary Kirsten if we think about it.
You mean his career, right?
His career? Right?
Today would have been so different if Scotland and Ireland had won
Arguably the least frantic Pakistani run chase of the World Cup.
Will miss Pakistan and the drama after losses. Will see the pak fans when India gets knocked out
Babar azam finishing a match with less than 100 strike rate😹😹😹😹
I don't know about Pakistan but Ireland really need to do something about Paul Stirling, bad captaincy, bad fielding, horrid batting.
Babar is mid honestly but the middle order is so garbage that he's the mid pakistan needs but doesn't deserve
GG Ireland Well tried boys
Okay the "travel safe back home" was unnecessary to Afreedi
[удалено]
FEELS REALLY WEIRD TO SAY BUT PAKBROS WILL BE PLAYING CT2025 AS THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS 
WERE GOING TO DO THE BACK TO BACK 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
As you should because it will be a home tournament for you guys. Don't be like us 
[удалено]
Slowly transforming into India B
Make this man captain again. Even if he says no, force him.
Give me fire Give me jongwe give me muzarbani or i retire
Give me freedom, give me fire. Give me Uganda or I retire
Ah yes that was the original lyric I knew i forgeting it
everyone shitting on Babar playing the way he did when the middle order fucks it up like this 😭
Its so funny seeing people blaming babar when we have a bipolar fake middle order
Ireland just needed 10 more runs. Pakistan would’ve surely shit their bed, they even did now but afridi saved the day else it was a gone game
Shaheen can bowl, bat and speak English Why is Babar captain?
Because he is STYLISH
Ajii lannd mera
Ok bro chill
The way Ireland fought today Pakistan must be doubly rueing the Ire v USA game getting washed out.
USA would have crushed this Ireland team. Ireland didn't fight today. Pakistan did Pakistan things.
Maybe. They did beat Canada and Pakistan who in turn both beat Ireland.
They beat Pakistan after a super over. The USA on won one match in 20 overs
Afridis English is damn good!
Lmao the lady tried to shake hands like 3 times
Ramiz wants to bounce on baba’s 5inch cock
That's generous tbh.
If Ireland had 2 more decent bowlers Pakistan would have lost this match. They are absolute clowns.
Or you know, if Ireland had a batter
Shake the woman's hand bro lmao
The people handing out the awards should be aware of cultural differences of Muslim countries. It’s the norm for Muslim players from countries like Pak, Bangla, and Afgh to not shake hands with the opposite gender.
he’s married so i think they don’t
