Transcript

00:00 Well, Pakistan find themselves in a very tough situation because not only will they have to win their remaining four matches

00:06 But also win them with good margins if they are to continue meaningfully in this World Cup campaign

00:12 Now the test will begin against South Africa and it's going to be a stern test of their

00:18 temperament of how well they bat and importantly how well they bowl because South Africa have been mauling

00:24 Oppositions with magical strike play with the bat now Pakistan whenever they are in a desperate situation

00:30 Whenever they're pushed against the wall, they seem to play above themselves and you get to see the best side of Pakistan

00:37 So here's hoping that on the day they could surprise South Africa or at least be competitive now for that to happen

00:44 Barbarism has got to be much more smarter than he has been so for starters

00:50 he's got to make some changes in the playing 11 like maybe getting for her zaman back and

00:56 Making him back in the middle order because fuckers Aman has got that X factor and on the day can absolutely brutalize any opposition

01:04 So if Pakistan are to win

01:06 They need to get a score of over 300 and for that to happen and fuckers Aman and company will have to come to rescue

01:13 A barbarism he's got to somehow G up the team as well because Pakistan have suffered three

01:19 Successive losses and the last one was a an extremely big one

01:24 it must have left a lot of mental scarring because losing to Afghanistan is

01:29 Or was not an option

01:31 It wasn't thought of but in World Cup campaigns you go through highs and lows in Pakistan have hit a low

01:37 The only chance out of this is by playing magical cricket that Pakistan is renowned for and for that to happen

01:44 Then the playing 11 will have to be just a little bit different now bowling has come under heavy fire

01:49 And I expect Pakistan to make a change or two there as well

01:53 Maybe it's time for Mohammed was seen jr. To make an appearance

01:56 Also, he reverses the ball in the conditions are pretty dry and abrasive in Chennai

02:01 So I hope that he plays a Pakistan need to strike with the new ball Pakistan when they look to bowl

02:08 Defensively, you've got to hit that good length area and bowl within the stumps and most importantly

02:14 Their feeling has got to be a lot better. They've dropped catches. The ground feeling has been messy and it's just the

02:20 Jitteriness that has crept into the Pakistan dressing room because of little

02:27 Forepaws that they have made in the field with the bat at times and in the ball and and with the ball most times

02:34 South Africa on the other hand need to be on cruise control because they've been absolutely outstanding

02:40 And brilliant to watch the batting class and and company have been so good and they're bowling

02:46 Well, I mean the death over they need to just tidy up things but overall they've been very efficient

02:51 It's going to be a great contest, but it's South Africa

02:55 60/40

02:57 you
