Babar Azam hits 122 as Pakistan [205/1] demolish South Africa [203/5] by 9 wickets in 3rd T20I

[Sunzi]

Impressed by Rizwan's fitness levels. He's run quite a number of 2's without apparent decrease in running pace.

Rizwan is a beast. It's his all round game and character (fighter/team man) in addition to the fact that he's a technically sound bat that make him my favourite player.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Babar is playing this like a machine. Has targeted the first ball of the over and hammered it each time.

 

[world cup captain]

Now that we know our opening pair for the WT20, time to work on the middle order.

1. Rizwan
2. Babar
3. Fakhar
4. Hafeez
5. Haider
6. Imad
7. Faheem
8. Nawaz
9. Hasan/Rauf/Husnain
10. Qadir
11. Shaheen

 

[Sunzi]

Smoked over mid-wicket. Nasty from Babar.

 

[shariqnoor]

Lizaad Williams is a good T20 find for SA. Difficult to get away.

 

[silentkiller187]

i dont want to jinx this but i have a funny feeling this is a one wicket changes everything type of game

 

[MHN1293]

Babar ton loading. I hope i dont jinx him.

Is it possible now

 

[Ahmed216]

My God Is he classy..

 

[Sunzi]

i dont want to jinx this but i have a funny feeling this is a one wicket changes everything type of game

Same. Pakistanitis.

 

[Rana]

whats your thoughts on Rizwan

Playing well

 

[imshally81]

4444

This time is Rizwan

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What an innings by Babar

 

[Rafa]

Shot Rizwan Shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar should get a hundred here

 

[world cup captain]

One word for this pitch. Highway.

 

[Rana]

If Pakistan chase this without dropping a wicket, my God what an achievement that would be

 

[Inswing]

Fifty for rizwan too.

 

[silentkiller187]

babar needs to make this 100 of 50 balls after that criticism he got for making 50 of 50

 

[imshally81]

50 by Rizwan

 

[Rana]

What an innings by Babar

But he is in the same tier as Rahul, Iyer and Pandey apparently

 

[Rana]

Great Running!

 

[Rafa]

Babar should just calm down a little now. Hold one end, let others Batsmen start hitting from the other end starting from Rizwan. It's very important to have Babar stay there till the end.

 

[rhony]

Silky batting and great running. Phenomenal display today

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[silentkiller187]

sily shot to throw it away there lucky

 

[Sunzi]

Dropped. Easy Rizwan, oy!

 

[shariqnoor]

Terrific fitness from these two. Super impressed.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan running away with this. Please dont mess this up boys!

 

[JibranAnsari]

super over on cards

 

[imshally81]

66666

King Babar

 

[silentkiller187]

66666

 

[Slim]

What an innings by Babar

Bvb bhai, mazza aagaya!

 

[MHN1293]

Wow he is on today.

 

[Inswing]

Feels sorry to see the such downfall of southafrica.

 

[Sunzi]

Tobah Tobah! Smoked in to the bank!

 

[silentkiller187]

this should be a walk int he park from here for these two, calm down abit play simple and see it home

 

[sindhiboy]

Hendricks should bowl over the wicket

He is getting hammered legside bowling around the wicket.

 

[Rafa]

Please don't throw it away from her.e

 

[Fazzy321]

Probably the best innings display from Babar

 

[Rana]

A wicket anywhere and you are in the game when it comes to Pakistan

 

[Sunzi]

Has to keep going. Wicket goes and the next man won't keep the pace, I fear.

 

[MHN1293]

Pakistan running away with this. Please dont mess this up boys!

Nothing can be expected when you have asif ali. Might waste 10 15 balls

 

[silentkiller187]

6666 inside out , one bounce but we take the 4

 

[Sunzi]

Rizwan oy, behave.

 

[imshally81]

444

By Rizwan

 

[Rana]

62 needed off 40

Cakewalk in modern cricket and this road

 

[Rafa]

Dil Khushi kar ditta an Babar ne. What a comeback from the Champion after getting criticism from all corners of the Cricket World.

 

[Sunzi]

Good running.

 

[Rana]

Absolutely smashing it!

 

[Markhor]

Wow this is like watching a highlights reel.

Rizwan with possibly the shot of the match there.

 

[imshally81]

15 runs in last over

150 up

 

[Rana]

Balle Balle!

 

[silentkiller187]

SA fielders under pressure now, commentators have gone quite aswell , they were chirping about when SA were bating now all you can hear is Rambo

 

[Muhammad Kaleem]

What exactly has Babar Azam eaten in lunch?

 

[ARK Rafay]

This can be the highest successful T20I run chase without losing a wicket.

 

[MHN1293]

150 raised. What is the highest partnership record for pak.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan relentless with the running!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Perhaps nothing

 

[Markhor]

Let's not forget the late Dean Jones who helped Mohammad Rizwan on his powerhitting.

I'm sure he'd be very proud watching this.

 

[Rana]

What exactly has Babar Azam eaten in lunch?

Hes been reading some of the posts about him here

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow this is like watching a highlights reel.

Rizwan with possibly the shot of the match there.

Babar's soothing late cuts

 

[silentkiller187]

luck is with us today

 

[Inswing]

haha another falls short

 

[Rana]

Waiting for Bobby to get his 100 before driving home from work

 

[silentkiller187]

babar should take his shoe off and phone the haters if he gets a century this over

 

[MHN1293]

Best t20i bowler getting smashed by someone whos apparently not made for t20 cricket.

 

[Sunzi]

Come on guys. You've done the hard work - rate is finally manageable - no need to throw your wickets away.

Beauty Babar.

 

[Rafa]

This century by Babar would go down as the most memorable Ton ever by any T20 I batsman if Pakistan win here considering the drama that happened prior to this match.

 

[Inswing]

Brilliant shot for six by babar now only 4 runs short of a brilliant century

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has played exceptional cricket here , brilliant batting

 

[Rana]

Both bats deserve a hundred each

 

[ARK Rafay]

This innings of Babar Azam is a slap on all those who thought he cannot improve.

 

[imshally81]

100 by Babar

 

[Ahmed216]

He's not hitting these sixes he's timing these

 

[MHN1293]

50 ball 100 would be a dream come true.

 

[Inswing]

And another century baby the BADSHAH KING BABAAAAAAR <3

 

[Yasir_ch]

Kya Baat hai Babar veer.Dil Khush Kita e.See you haters

 

[Ab Fan]

Shamsi is such a mediocre spinner

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar one shot away from a hundred

 

[adzzy786]

Feels sorry to see the such downfall of southafrica.

It’s not their A Team
