Pakistan almost through to the Semi-Finals after victory against India ?

[javier26]

 

They have already secured 2 precious points against India, with three matches to go against Afghanistan , Namibia , Scotland and another against NZ. 

 

If Pakistan wins against Namibia, Scotland, Afghanistan they will secure total of 8 points.

 

There will be a loser between India and NZ, if India loses that match they will be virtually out of the tournament with only matches left against minnows and 6 points on offer. India will have to win every match from here onwards 

 

If NZ loses against India, they will have to win all the remaining matches to be on par with India and Pakistan at 8 points and even maintain a better run rate.

 

Pakistan has won with a decent run rate of almost +1 so they are the favorites to go to the Semis now.

Deserves a spot -good bowling attack, explosive top 3 and most importantly a calm and cool captain who can handle pressure..

Its all 2017 cT Repeat

now India is will trash PAK in finals

[Adi_91]

One thing I know for sure. This will be talked up as the biggest victory for Pakistan against India by their fans and experts. The fact remains that they are a struggling side and a single streak ending cannot change that fact.

 

Having said that, they do deserve credit for the victory tonight.

Agree about everything but the explosive part. Pakistan are mostly through if they don't fk up big time but their openers are hardwired to chase these 140-150 totals, if in any match the score is upwards of 175 they will become liability

If they can curb their unpredictability amd don't screw up against teams other than NZ.

I think we made 200+ against england and chased 200+ vs SA. 

 

Our top 3 in t20s is lethal

Actually if you look at the team , they still have oldies and passengers like Hafeez, Malik, Imad and Shadab. But the difference is Babar Azam. Almost MSDesque calmness. 

 

[Lord]

Favourites to win it all

[Sonix768]

If its  old reckless Pak that we know I would back them to win against NZ and lose against Afg and Scot and exit. But they seemed to be lot calm and composed under Azam. So yeah, I also feel semi for them is inevitable.

Very effective in certain conditions not scary

Nz is famous for knocking us out. So expecting another KO.
