Fakhar Zaman's brilliant 193 in vain as South Africa [341/6] defeat Pakistan [324/9] by 17 runs

[Markhor]

Fakhar and fit Sharjeel opening combo would have been devastating with Babaar and Rizwan to follow

Fakhar
Sharjeel
Babbar
Rizwan
Haider

Best possible combination for Pakistan

I'm all for that too. Some want to go back to 1980s with Rizwan-Imam opening combination.

Another power opener would also allow FZ to play more naturally too.

 

[imshally81]

Edged n 444

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar gets that away 4

Moves to 180

 

[Ahmed216]

180 n.o.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

People more interested in Fakhar 200 rather than Pakistan win here

The win is almost impossible, the 200 not so much....

 

[Cric1234]

Man just need Shamsi to bowl one more over.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA rattled here , with Dazzling strokeplay , Maybe Fakhar has become Gayle here

 

[Oligochaetes]

185 and 13 balls to go

 

[Justcrazy]

This is the highest score at the Wanderers, going past the legendary 175 scored by Gibbs in the 434/438 game

 

[Justcrazy]

Imad would have been very useful in such chase

 

[Nikhil_cric]

38 off 12.

 

[Cric1234]

Fakhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Akmal
Haider
Rizwan
Imad

The team that can challenge the best in high scoring matches.

 

[RajBan]

People more interested in Fakhar 200 rather than Pakistan win here

He deserves the 200

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

38 from 12. too many.

 

[King_Kohli]

What a Brilliant batting from Fakhar Zaman.

 

[imshally81]

What a shot..

4444

 

[Sunzi]

Gotta rue Shadab and Asif's knocks. And the lame dismissals of Babar and Rizwan... to even 300 from where we were is incredible really.

 

[jusarrived]

Great knock this, doesn't deserve to be on losing side

 

[sindhiboy]

If only Shaheen made 15 off 15 instead of 5 off 15

 

[Amjid Javed]

38 from 12.. come on fakhar.

 

[Justcrazy]

If fakhar can connect sixes and win this , this will be greatest white ball innings by an Asian , on par with Kapil dev 175 in WC

 

[Abdurmirr]

What's the highest individual score in ODI's (second innings)

 

[msb314]

Is this now the highest score whilst chasing?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Hope he gets 200!! Dont see us winning

 

[mastimasti]

win or lose, and I know pakpassion does not like this, but this is one of the all time great ODI innings

 

[Oligochaetes]

11 off 10 required for 200

 

[Justcrazy]

Highest score in an ODI chase! Beats Watson's 185* against Bangladesh

Fakhar has broken so many records !!!!

 

[jusarrived]

Get a double hundred man

 

[Suleiman]

Is this now the highest score whilst chasing?

Yep.

He truly has earned the title “Fauji” today. Lone soldier.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Is this now the highest score whilst chasing?

Y E S

 

[Ahmed216]

Tired shot

 

[Justcrazy]

is this now the highest score whilst chasing?

yes !

 

[imshally81]

2 runs

 

[Oligochaetes]

9 off 8... come onnn!

 

[Cric1234]

It’s too much lack of support we’ll fall short still an epic innings.

 

[Last Monetarist]

What's the highest individual score in ODI's (second innings)

Is this now the highest score whilst chasing?

Yes, it should be the highest.

Shane Watson held the record with 185.

 

[Justcrazy]

fakhar to have strike in final over , he would go for 200 here

 

[Oligochaetes]

need 2 fours in last over...

 

[imshally81]

Super over... aanyone ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

31 from 6 balls

 

[Cric1234]

5 sixes to tie the match.

 

[Oligochaetes]

I am getting visions of Saeed Anwar's 194... Pls cross that score!

 

[90MPH]

We needed a Hasan Ali or Wahab Riaz to help Fakhar

 

[msb314]

Too difficult nkw

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well played Fakhar

 

[Energy]

Cruel end to Fakhar's innings.

 

[Oligochaetes]

SIngle... WHy

 

[Cric1234]

Rauf and Afridi have scored 6 of 20 combined.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar should have waited , taking single is a mistake

 

[Saurav]

Great innings

 

[Oligochaetes]

Run Out

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

'Well played. Great inning.

 

[Firebat]

Gutted for Fakhar. This innings deserved a win, but he got absolutely 0 support. 311 runs, and 62% came from him.

 

[Local.Dada]

Tragic Traigic way to end this knock. Amazing. Hatsoff

 

[Justcrazy]

Nevertheless absolute brutal innings here !

 

[Saurav]

I am getting visions of Saeed Anwar's 194... Pls cross that score!

He already has a 200,no?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

The greatest knock by a Pakistani... Zaman

 

[Titan24]

Well, What a knock in the end.

 

[Energy]

Hats off to Asif Ali for playing a gem of an innings, matching his first class average. He's had a decent tour so far with zilch contribution in the field, with the ball and the bat.

 

[msb314]

Fakhar should have waited , taking single is a mistake

Waited for what?

We needed 31 off the last over not 5 lol

 

[Titan24]

He already has a 200,no?

Yes he has.

 

[Sunzi]

Damn soft dismissal.

 

[Justcrazy]

The kind of player Fakhar is I see him get another couple of double hundreds in his career

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

340 was below par

 

[Markhor]

Astonishing innings from FZ. Wish he had some support from the jokers at the other end.

 

[Ahmed216]

That should not have been out

 

[owais1]

This is just horrible, one man show. Fakhar has done extremely well and justified his position as an opener. Even if he gets out early, he won't block as many balls as Imam. Ouder middle-order consists of 3 nobodies (shadab, asif and danish). Our bowlers cant hold a bat properly. This was our game and we lost it. Cant see us winning the last game

 

[Cricketfan2016]

Kock is having is a laugh with that. Smart move!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Well at least Fakhar made a game of it. Shame he missed out on his 200 in such a fashion but well played.

 

[90MPH]

That’s cheating by De Kock

 

[Chip32]

Dirty from QdK

SA are certified minnows for even letting us back in the game. Never mind cheap stunts like what QdK pulled there.

 

[Markhor]

Hasnain should've batted ahead of Shaheen. Team management are so clueless even on basic things.

 

[Cric1234]

Why wasn’t Hasnain sent to bat before Afridi and Rauf four of the first ball.

 

[ssuhaide]

DeKock sold a great dummy. But an excellent knock all the same

 

[Mesozoic]

That's absolutely disgusting from Quinton De kock to point and laugh at a guy who has just clubbed you for a 190+....

 

[Local.Dada]

This is much better than the Anwar knock where he used a runner for most part of his innings.

 

[90MPH]

Why didn’t Hasnain come out before Shaheen ? Ridiculous

 

[Titan24]

Nice acting from QDK but, not in good taste

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

QDK tricked him.
