T20 World Cup Game 22 Pakistan v Canada, June 12 2400hrs @ Nassau County International Cricket Stadium New York

[NYRB]

Its been a disgusting performance from Pakistan so far this tournament and they are dishing up this with their batting today.

Gordon looks tough to face on this pitch, just 1 run off his first over.

This is a complete shut down by Canada in the field so far. Surely it cant last long

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pakistan better not be blaming NRR in the final game, if it costs them a Top 2 spot.

Does open the door for Canada.

 

[icyflakes]

If Canada take 2 more wickets before the 9th over there's a game here.

 

[NYRB]

This Gordon player looks a handy player.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan are a shadow of their former selves in white ball cricket.

The emerging nations can beat them even playing at 70% capability. Im talking about your: Netherlands, Irelands, USA, Namibia, Scotlands

1-28 off the powerplay has to be one of the lowest powerplays in this WC if not all world cups? I know NY is a bad pitch but thats bad

Australia wouldnt be batting like this with their tournament hopes on the line thats for sure.

I think Pakistan just need the win. India will beat USA and Canada then if Pakistan beat Canada and Ireland they should boost their NRR. USA will lose to Ireland.

Im expecting India will win but win in a way that doesnt dent their hosts hopes. Having USA progress with them to the Super 8s is a win-win for them, rather than let a rival enter the Super 8s.

I see it as India hate Pakistan more , and would have great joy in seeing their rivals exit the group stages akin to Australia with England.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistans hopes are burning up in flames in front of our very own eyes. The thing is, I dont think they are aware of it either.

 

[NYRB]

Australia and India , have a chance to control their destiny and will work hand in hand to eliminate their 2 biggest rivals in England and Pakistan, the finalist and runners up in 2022.

They would both back themselves to go on to win , with the remaining opposition in the group stages.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Are you allowed to throw matches?

 

[NYRB]

Pakistans final game is against Ireland, and they wont be easy to beat on NRR.

 

[NYRB]

Like I dont understand the logic.

Whats the point of having wickets in hand then? Chasing this say 107/6 in 14 overs is better then meandering to 107/2 in 18 overs.

I dont understand what Pakistans thinking is at all.
