Australia vs Pakistan | Tri-Series: 5th T20I | Harare | Jul 5, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Madplayer]

When will sarfaraz score a 50 next time? Or even a 40?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor knock from Sarfraraz

 

[Slim]

Sarfraz is done. Time to kick him out of t20Is. Time for Fakhkar to be made captain.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a shot by Fakhar.Flat and six.Really looks on song today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SIX

Fakhar!

 

[Madplayer]

Everything for Rameez is so deadly

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Malik turning it on against the spinner.

 

[daytrader]

Goat is action straightaway

 

[NeVerMind]

And people like Mamoon said Fakhar is just a hack. Keeps improving match by match....

 

[Slim]

I said in the India v Pakistan thread, that Pakistan has 3 WC batsman in Babar, Zaman and Malik and some indian called me a troll for that even though facts say otherwise. The proof is always in the pudding.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

14 runs off the over.

Pakistan 128/3 in 14 overs.

Should look to make 190

 

[Madplayer]

After Babar, Fakhar is the best batsman in this side. And certainly the most explosive.

 

[Mainul]

Malik should bat at no 4. He is in glorious touch.

 

[Markhor]

Why play in empty grounds when they can be playing in jam packed Pakistan stadiums. How is Zimbabwe safer than Pakistan. Something is seriously wrong here.

Neutral matches in a tri series usually have poor crowds.

As for why Zimbabwe are hosting this event - I think this tri series is a favour from PCB and CA to cash strapped ZCB.

Australia haven't agreed to tour Pakistan yet. Plus hosting series in Pakistan in July isn't a good idea due to the weather and the security is preoccupied by the elections.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just swing wildly

 

[Markhor]

Zaman gone but a terrific innings.

 

[IMMY69]

Funny how the usual wrist slitters arrive immediately when we’re 40 odd for 4...

But nowhere to be seen today.

Wonder if they’ll be back if we collapse or if the Aussies get off to a flier

 

[mmkextreme_1]

This is what I mean...Fakhar Zaman throws it away again. Extremely frustrating!

There was a ton for the taking for him...

 

[Mainul]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Fakhar gone

 

[Slim]

Fakhar gone.

Ramiz strikes again. God.

Great knock though. I hope Asif smashes a quick 30/40.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

Ahmed Shehzad against...Bangladesh.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

Ahmed Shehzad

 

[Mainul]

Oh no, again..

 

[Khan12]

Poor shot by fakhar but still an excellent knock.

 

[daytrader]

An excellent innings comes to an end. Well played

 

[Slim]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

Ahmed Shehzad against Bangladesh in a t20 Wc i think. Single handedly won Pakistan the match.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

Ahmed Shahzad vs Bangladesh

I wonder how you forgot that?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif needs to perform or make way for Farhan as Sohail isn't getting dropped. lol

 

[daytrader]

Fakhar shouldn't waste the opportunity of scoring a hundred here. Has any Pakistani done that before in T20?

Fakhar is the anti of this mentality and hence one of the reasons he's appreciated by fans

 

[Mainul]

Ahmed Shehzad against...Bangladesh.

It's just awkard to see this record by the side of name of Shehzad.Doesnt suit him at all,the master of dot balls.

 

[Mainul]

Ahmed Shahzad vs Bangladesh

I wonder how you forgot that?

I try to forget our team's failure.Thats good for my body and mind

 

[Slim]

It's just awkard to see this record by the side of name of Shehzad.Doesnt suit him at all,the master of dot balls.

Master of dot balls yet smashed Bangladesh everytime he played against them. Wonder whats worse. :ahmed

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Fakhar is the anti of this mentality and hence one of the reasons he's appreciated by fans

The thing is he always gets out in the stupidest way.

There was no need for the shot he played to get out today. I feel like this is a common occurrence with him.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Ramiz- "I don't know if he has busted his back or not"

WTH dude...

 

[Mainul]

Fakhar is the anti of this mentality and hence one of the reasons he's appreciated by fans

I have respect for those players who does play for his team, not for his record.Thats why Tendulkar lost most of my respect for him in later part of his career.

But to stay at the crease was necessary for Pakistan on behalf for Fakhar.Pakistan could have reached near to 200.

 

[Mainul]

Master of dot balls yet smashed Bangladesh everytime he played against them. Wonder whats worse. :ahmed

It really reflects how good Bangladeshi bowlers was on that day

 

[Slim]

Asif Ali hacking lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Swinging blindly

 

[daytrader]

The thing is he always gets out in the stupidest way.

There was no need for the shot he played to get out today. I feel like this is a common occurrence with him.

It's T20, playing shots is what he's there for. It's also the approach that got him the 70 odd in the first place. I have no problem with him trying to attack and attempt a stupid shot rather than playing dots and waiting for bad balls to capitalize

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This way they wont get to 180.

Need Malik to get a move now.

 

[Shafi]

Pathetic performance. 220+ pitch and we will not score over 170. Australia will win by 15 overs!!!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan are 141-4 after 16 overs.Need at least 40 more runs off the last 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Should target 10 an over for sure if not more in these last 4.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif looks out of sorts

 

[daytrader]

It really reflects how good Bangladeshi bowlers was on that day

They were awesome. His 100 would've been 200 against any other team

 

[Markhor]

Lost momentum since Zaman's dismissal.

 

[Markhor]

That's better. Malik taking on Stoinis.

 

[Slim]

And then they say Malik cant play pace

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mueez]

Malik showing how it's done!

And some people want him out of the team

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good little innings by Malik.

15 off the over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It should have been Malik and Zaman as openers the only 2 who have shown some intent.

 

[Zeshan547]

Good Batting so I, better than most of us expected, But need to finish strong and get to 190 at least if not 200.

 

[Mueez]

I wish we could see Sharjeel & Fakhar opening

Insh Allah next year!!

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Feel like the wicket is a bit 2 paced.

Batting is not as easy as the ball gets older

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Shoaib Malik

27 of 15

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Malik out now.Pak need to keep the momentum.

 

[Zeshan547]

Good opportunity for Pak Pandiya,,,

 

[daytrader]

Should send in Faheem

 

[Mainul]

They were awesome. His 100 would've been 200 against any other team

You should have said his 100 would have been a 40 against any other team.You missed the sarcasm part of my comment.

 

[Mueez]

Yaar batsmen jab fast bowling khelne lagte hain, tau slower ball nahi khelte......

Ajeeb masla hai......... )

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Insh Allah next year!!

Considering the PCB will reselect him, quite a high chance that they might not.

Also, I think, has to admit that he is guilty and go through rehab.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

How was that NOT wide?!

Feels like our lower order is a bit weak in terms of hitting ability

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just 3 runs off the 18th over.

 

[Slim]

Pathetic stuff from Faheem. Shadab would have done better.

 

[Zeshan547]

Previous over ke kasar nikal de,,, Our Batsman are generally so poor vs slower ball, they can't properly pick it let alone hit it.

 

[Slim]

How was that NOT wide?!

Feels like our lower order is a bit weak in terms of hitting ability

Look at Asif ali, guy cant do without hacking.

 

[Mueez]

 

[Chief Destroyer]

How was that NOT wide?!

Feels like our lower order is a bit weak in terms of hitting ability

That's our strong point man.

 

[Shafi]

Sadab is better than Fahim in term of hitting

 

[ads101]

Finally sent Faheem over Shadab. I mean that's why he's in the side. And it's t20 for goodness sake, you don't need Shadab to bring the stability at 7.

 

[Slim]

6 on first ball. More of this.

 

[daytrader]

Tye is a tough bowler

 

[Mueez]

Nice stuff by Asif!!!

 

[Mainul]

Asif is playing a role of consolidator instead of accelator

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Beautiful shot by Asif Ali

 

[Mueez]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Great stuff by Asif Ali
