Australia (93/4) comfortably defeat Pakistan (64/9) by 29 runs in first T20I match to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series

[batandballbattle]

4 and gone
our lowest score in a T20 in danger here

 

[BouncerGuy]

The shorter the game, The more pathetic Pakistan is

 

[Kroll]

7 overs doesn't constitute a game, but put on cos of the fans in the ground.

 

[castortroy]

Seriously this is pak T20 line up lol

 

[Rana]

For the next 48 hours

You know I am going to ROAST Rizwan

 

[Devadwal]

did you see the way Rizwan batted?

In T20 pakistan can dropped him but his replacements likes of Usman khan ,Harish etc are even worse then him .

 

[kingusama92]

Now this is some of the worst power hitting of all time from the Pakistani batsmen.

 

[adi_62941]

nothing nothing shot from salman non serious agha

 

[Mrjungshook]

This team will do better in a proper 20-over game. We dont have the firepower to score quick runs.

This team is made for t60.

 

[baba ghazi]

unbelievable rubbish batting by pakistan.. they are just hitting out in air

 

[Sunny_majoka]

What you can expect from a team filled of accumulators

 

[shaz619]

these jobbers this is the worst T20 international team I’ve ever seen my god

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What are these commentators on about?

They were saying the boundaries were small when Australia batted, but now they are huge with Pakistan batting?

That was short boundary behind square which Maxwell was targeting.

Square boundaries are big here. And Australia have bowled much better to be honest

 

[RamLakhan]

Hopefully Pakistan gets all out before 36

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not that big boundaries that our batter can't hit a single six

View attachment 147687

This squad is filled with accumulators and hacks like Usman

 

[castortroy]

How have they picked this batting line up for the big Aussies grounds

Not 1 six hotter in the entire line up

 

[mominsaigol]

Hasebullah, Pakistan's best t20 batsmen

 

[BouncerGuy]

beautiful singles and doubles... still 2 sessions remaining..

 

[Kroll]

This game is a wright off (7 overs isnt a proper game and should be called off), I wouldn't read too much into it, let the proper games begin and we can reassess.

[BouncerGuy]

First 6 from Abbas

 

[BouncerGuy]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1857024108325671017

Yeah. Send Ahmed Shahzad to open.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

So, PAK still need an Afridi to hit sixes

 

[Rana]

Aaj Tum log mujhe rok nahi sakte!

Today I will not spare all of you today who made it seem like Pakistan won the World Cup last week!

 

[AAli98]

Target is 47 keep Indians quite

 

[mominsaigol]

So, PAK still need an Afridi to hit sixes

They need 7 of them

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Not a promising sign when the tailenders are the best power-hitters in your side

 

[baba ghazi]

abbas looks a better batter than the top order batters

 

[emranabbas]

Not a promising sign when the tailenders are the best power-hitters in your side

It is high risk cricket but rizwan couldn't get bat on ball

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another 6...barely

 

[mominsaigol]

@Mamoon

Bro when will Babar's rough patch end? We are now entering year 3

 

[Ali Active]

lol at this t20 lineup filled with zero t20 players

 

[Rana]

Yeah. Send Ahmed Shahzad to open.

He can also do 0(2) like Rizwan

 

[BouncerGuy]

He can also do 0(2) like Rizwan

Even worse..

 

[baba ghazi]

david couldnt do a SKY here

 

[AAli98]

As if calamity Ayub was going to chase these runs.. Pak are a 7rpo t20 side at best.

 

[Rana]

Why are they calling Haseebullah, Hizbolla?

 

[TheSultan]

Good fight by hasibullah and afridi

 

[BouncerGuy]

2 over and 47 needed,,,

 

[Rana]

What was Rizwan thinking? He will bowl Australia out for 40 in 7 overs?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Aussie commentators calling Haseebullah "Hazbullah" & Abbas "Abaas" lol

 

[emranabbas]

We need asif ali here only he is capable for this sort of innings

 

[castortroy]

Embarrassing watching these batters trying to hit sixes on these grounds

 

[Rana]

Parchi haseebullah will get a few more games

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Another one gone, time for another Afridi

 

[G0rmintAunty]

We need asif ali here only he is capable for this sort of innings

Yeah like he did in the HK 6s

 

[emranabbas]

haseebullah getting abit fancy here

 

[aukhan]

haseeb cutie out.

 

[mominsaigol]

We need asif ali here only he is capable for this sort of innings

I'd have sent asif, Sharjeel, Fakhar and saim here 100%.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fox should rein Howard in. Haseebullah not Hezbollah

 

[RidiculousMan]

This game is a wright off (7 overs isnt a proper game and should be called off), I wouldn't read too much into it, let the proper games begin and we can reassess.

Also the planning was off in this game from Pakistan. Not to mention the squad is barely a T20 one

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak need 2 Afridi's to click if they wanna win

 

[aukhan]

Yeah like he did in the HK 6s

Asif is a must in T20.

 

[hafizexpress]

Could someone explain to me where Pakistan went wrong today without any personal biases? I was sleeping

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah like he did in the HK 6s

Asif has smashed 24 and 25 in an over against nz and afg before.

In a 7 over match you need a tullei baaz like him. Not rizwan

 

[emranabbas]

Yeah like he did in the HK 6s

Yes and how he disi vs newzealand and Afghanistan in Australia in worldcup 2021

 

[Rana]

I'd have sent asif, Sharjeel, Fakhar and saim here 100%.

Proper bande de puttar batsmen

 

[aukhan]

Could someone explain to me where Pakistan went wrong today without any personal biases? I was sleeping

Poor bowling. There was no way we could have chased this even in 10 overs.

 

[Devadwal]

Losing against Australia B team but lets hype them because they have already won the World cup few day ago.
@Nikhil_cric

 

[volcyz]

Abbas looking classy

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This T20 team needs a purge and a hard reset. I can't believe so many people from the World Cup debacle are still there.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What was Rizwan thinking? He will bowl Australia out for 40 in 7 overs?

Bad call to bowl first. Like all the pak captains, using the wining combinations and strategy basis past matches, they dont think much.

 

[aukhan]

Gul's nephew looks good.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Yes and how he disi vs newzealand and Afghanistan in Australia in worldcup 2021

*UAE

 

[Ahmed216]

Abbas afridi one positive from this game.

Proper pace bowling all rounder prospect

 

[mominsaigol]

Bad call to bowl first. Like all the pak captains, using the wining combinations and strategy basis past matches, they dont think much.

The reason they didn't bat first is because they'd have been exposed even more then they already are.

 

[AAli98]

Losing against Australia B team but lets hype them because they have already won the World cup few day ago.
@Nikhil_cric

36 & 46 is the target to beat these days.

 

[Rana]

Tassali bakhsh win by Australia

Love you boys!

 

[shaz619]

We need asif ali here only he is capable for this sort of innings

With a long rope, some fine tuning and clarity of vision regarding how the format should be played, he could have been a decent batter to exploit the PP overs. People laugh at him, but T20 openers are rarely picked by most sides based on their average, that usually gets better with more experience and is not the most important attribute.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bad call to bowl first. Like all the pak captains, using the wining combinations and strategy basis past matches, they dont think much.

In a 7 over match you always chase. There was nothing wrong with the call. Pakistan don't have the right team for this format.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Even Shaheen is a better hitter than others

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I’m not sure how one can make any conclusions from a 7 over per side game.

I’d wait till all the games are played, with hopefully the full quota of overs.

 

[Rana]

In a 7 over match you always chase. There was nothing wrong with the call. Pakistan don't have the right team for this format.

This is international cricket and this Australian side has T20 players who are big money all across the globe

It’s not a match in Peshawar premier league

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

The reason they didn't bat first is because they'd have been exposed even more then they already are.

They went with it because they won ODI's, but Rizwan need to understand the situation is different here. Also it was doable but top order was in hurry.

 

[Devadwal]

36 & 46 is the target to beat these days.

First target should be for pakistan to draw a test in australia .

Im not expecting a win but just draw a test which they haven't in last 30 years.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just wait for Rizwan's presser

 

[RidiculousMan]

Can't believe in a shortened game Hack Usman wasted more balls than Rizwan

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Is Zampa the worst cricketer when it comes to hairstyle ?

 

[Ahmed216]

Looks like Zampa blamed his long hair for those dropped catches in ODI series

 

[mominsaigol]

They went with it because they won ODI's, but Rizwan need to understand the situation is different here. Also it was doable but top order was in hurry.

When you're chasing 90+ in 7 overs, you gotta go for it. No choice.

It's just that these lanats can't hit sixes. The tail enders know how to slog better then Mr t20 bradman and The king
