Same for me 

 

I think everybody expected him to statpad here. If not now then when

[Number]

Not bowling enough dot balls. Too many singles allowed.

Pakistan safe now. It's not halwa for Batsmen from Minnow Nations to handle express Pacers like Rauf..

 

Also, most matches that minnows win they do it by their bowling performance . Minnows are likely to dismiss the stronger side for a cheap score like 130-150 rather than score 300+ to win the match. 

[putrevus]

Amazing that they might still end up with 300 even after losing three early wickets and 6 wickets for 188.

They did well against Haris Rauf in Netherlands in 2022 ODI series but he is better bowler now.

They'd need a good start. If they can see off Shaheen without losing more than 1, they can do it.

Good thing about Pakistan innings is they have been scoring freely despite wickets.  I would expect them to be scoring at 4 rpo in such scenarios.

[rageaddict]

Lol Pakistan raising the Dutch hopes again.

2 in 2 for De Leede .

More than the Pakistani bowling, it's the mentality of a bottom tier team like Nederlands, that will end up losing them today's game.

 

 

Even if they are 180/1 chasing 270, they're just one wicket away from imploding.

Normally when Pakistan lose wickets, they shut shop down but they have been scoring at very decent rate today.

[Number]

De Leede turned into McGrath ultra pro max.

That is Bangladesh and Afghanistan speciality lol. Whenever they are in good position against good teams they think "arey bc how is this possible" and implode.

[Lone Wolf]

Pak lucky with edges today...  Young Aryan has bowled very well.

Ireland did chase 300 v Eng in 2011. So possible

Yes that is why it's one of the most spectacular win ever in cricket history. And Ireland actually did the opposite of what minnow sides usually do. They were down and out in that game at 100/5 or something in that game and then miraculously came back..all the more special.
