England OUT, Pakistan OUT, Netherlands OUT, Afghanistan OUT, Bangladesh OUT and Sri Lanka - almost on the verge of getting kicked out... SOUTH AFRICA, INDIA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA - the four semi-finalists.. Unless there's a dramatic turnaround..

PAKI BOY: The ONLY BOWLER who can turn things around from this situation is 'SHAHEEN SHAH AFRIDI' and HE WILL...

Raju: Match is not over yet folks! One more wicket and Pakistan are right on top..

Zain Baig: If Pakistan lose today, they are out of the World Cup! England, Pakistan, Netherlands and Bangladesh are almost OUT of the competition....

syed arhaan: Babar has to bring back Shaheen Afridi to take wickets... His only chance of staying alive in the tournament...

Sukhpreet: People who were cribbing for a close match, here it is finally. Pakistan known to be unpredictable and South Africa known to be chokers. Both living up to their tags!

Navdeep: Shadab Khan who has been batting well, got to bat. His bowling has been anyway below par. Usama comes in and strikes for Pakistan. What a blessing in disguise..

Nirupam: Woah! Nice guess @Parag. Rassie ven der Dussen dismissed yet again by a spinner.

Vasudev: Spinners bunny - "Rassie van der Dussen"

Parag: Rassie ven der Dussen has been dismissed by spinners in all 5 games. Will he be dismissed by a spinner yet again?

Samran: A wicket around the corner

Naushad Akhtar: Many teams in this world cup played exactly opposite to what was expected from them! England, Pakistan are no different.

Adil: Pakistan has to keep wickets in hand.If they want to score a fighting total.

Amit Katyal: Gerald Coetzee reminds me of Andre Nel. Similar body language and aggression.

Venki: Pakistan should try to get to 260-270 which is a respectable score at this ground instead of going for glory and ending up with sub-par total.

Debasish Patra: Every time you are posting a comment, a wicket is going down. Can you foresee or what?

M SYED: Babar will take the charge today!

Ashwin Rajani: Pakistan were in an exact same situation last year in T20 World cup. They lost to India and Zimbabwe and they had to win all their remaining league games to qualify starting with South Africa. Hope we get to see a tight competition for remaining games in this tournament.

atarva: After Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen.. Abdullah shafique is the best thing that happened to Pakistan recently. -- I didn't jinx this! Pardon me!!!!!
