Afghanistan vs Pakistan | World Cup 2019 | Leeds | 29 June | Match Discussion

[M.AsfandYar]

Anyone got a live stream for me please? I've been searching for an hour.



It's not really the rivalry. It is about civility which the Afghans have no clue about. They try to treat the whole world like the lawless hellhole Afghanistan is.

Neither is it about Indians being mild; no one has forgotten the dozens of matches stopped in India when Indian spectators started throwing objects into the ground at the opposing team's players. Once they set fire to the stadium.

Bookmark this for all matches. They almost always get the rights.

This Najib is really batting well. They can reach 240 plus. Won't be easy task if we loose early wickets. We need them to restrict them inside 220 some how. Needs to take one more wkt soon to trip thru the tail.

Pakistan should take time to build innings ..keep wickets in hand

It's surprising India and pak are big rivals and they played many world cup matches and one never got to see such scenes...the rivalry of pak and afghanistan in cricket is very recent and fans of their countries are beating each other...it maybe because indians are mild unlike afghans..

Indian and Pakistani fans have a healthy mutual respect towards each other - plenty of banter and football type chanting but very rarely would you see a scuffle break out. Then again these fans have been brought up in the west and adhere to good manners, western socio norms and the rule of law. In contrast many Afghans have been brought up in a lawless warzone and unsurprisingly behave like animals.

Any runs over 200 we giving them a bonus really not needed to give.

Afghanistan should not give up easily...they have good spinners and should fight till the end..with pak anything can happen.

 

[Jugger]

Good game by Afghanistan, the last few runs might be costly for Pakistan.

Let’s hope for a close thriller.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

It's a flat pitch. Pak scored 338 against Eng here and Eng 320 odd..... 227 not enough but u never know when Pakistan is chasing. If we bad normally than its an easy task. First 20 overs will decide the fate of the chase.

Target 228

fakhar should play his natural innings. parchi will try to play good against a poor team so as to add something to his average. pak needs to improve run rate and this is the best chance. playing a weak bowling line on a flat track.

Wrist and finger spinner will get turn on this pitch ..its definitely not 320 pitch and Pakistan batsman would need sensible batting

 

[Halls]

Let's see if Babar Azam hits a century or a half century. His run scoring stats have been better than Kohli's.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

One good partnership will do it.... Just that Pakistanis hasn't played these Afghanistan spinners much. Anyways I am backing our side easily.

Meanwhile Australia is in deep trouble against NZ. 3 down for 44 only including Finch and Warner - their prime scorers in the tournament so far.

That’s true, they haven’t been violent in previous matches. I don’t follow the cricket but the Afghan spectators beating the fan even made headlines on other sports apps

They are SOB. I went to their practice match against ENG at the oval.
During the lunch break, I went out, when I came back, there was a group of Afghan taken over the seats in my area, including my seat. When I asked the guy sitting on my seat to vacate it, he started to argue and use foul language. I told him to F off from my seat and go to his place. He refused. There were 10/12 of them, so they were thinking I was going to back down. I refused to back down. Then he started to ask for my ticket that if I got the ticket for the seat. I had enough, I went and reported him. By the time I came back, he moved from my seat. The steward came, but by then he disappeared.
Rowdy, uncivilised animalistic behavior. I even spoke to him in my broken Pushtoo to make him realised that I am from the same stock.

First pakistan need to win this instead of losing it in attempt of of improving run rate by playing irrational shots the way Fakhar does.. what's the point of scoring 12 from 4 balls and then getting out
