‘Itna patthar dil kaise ho gae Buttler bro’ – Fans react as England wins the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan
Ahead of the ongoing Pakistan vs England match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, there was a lot of talk the Asian side needed to win big. They needed to win either by 287 runs or chase down any target above 20 between 50 runs in 16 balls. With the chasing scenario being stiff, the best interest of the team was to bat first at any cost.
However, at the toss, the Three Lions skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bat first. With this, the already slim chance of the 1992 winners has dwindled. Buttler said “Looks a good wicket, little dry, we want first use of it. Nice to break a losing streak, want to leave India with our heads held high. An emotional day for David Willey, so we talked about trying to enjoy it and take it all in.”
England: 1 Jonny Bairstow, 2 Dawid Malan, 3 Joe Root, 4 Ben Stokes, 5 Harry Brook, 6 Jos Buttler (capt/wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 David Willey, 10 Gus Atkinson, 11 Adil Rashid
On the other hand, the Green Brigade skipper Babar Azam said that his side also wanted to bat first.
“We are looking forward to Fakhar’s innings, we are enjoying his batting. We will try our best, and let’s see.”
Pakistan: 1 Abdullah Shafique, 2 Fakhar Zaman, 3 Babar Azam (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 5 Saud Shakeel, 6 Iftikhar Ahmed, 7 Shadab Khan, 8 Agha Salman, 9 Mohammad Wasim Jnr, 10 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 11 Haris Rauf
England needs to win to ensure seventh place finish and Champions Trophy 2025 qualification
Meanwhile, talking about the match, the defending champions of the tournament needed to finish in the top eight including Pakistan to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025. With their massive win against the Netherlands, the team needs another win to finish the tournament with six points and a seventh-placed finish.
At the time of writing, the European side has started steadily as they have amassed 8/0 in 3.2 overs.
This is how Twitter reacted
