Final ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand washed out as series ends in a 1-1 draw

[MenInG]

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Good total, we can do this. Bit worried with the lack of spin

 

[asadee]

Does Harris bowl regularly in Domestic?

 

[mak36]

[MENTION=143023]SarfiBabarHaris[/MENTION] did you watch Haris bat today? He looked like he was batting on a different pitch. Definitely sent a message.

 

[Rayyman]

Come on boys we gots thiss

 

[PakPremi]

It was pointless slecting Asif over Imad. Asifshpuld only play 20:20 and perform consistently before ever getting selected for ODI.

 

[Titan24]

Does Harris bowl regularly in Domestic?

No, his bowling was developed my Mushtaq while playing international cricket.

 

[Titan24]

Worker doesnt know where the ball is going

 

[nextover666666]

Harris isn't a bad bowler can be economical and can even bag a wicket here and their

 

[Madplayer]

Does Harris bowl regularly in Domestic?

He doesnt. One of the reasons why domestic coaches arent worth a dime. He has natural spin bowling ability. A natural loop, dip and spin. He could have become a very good bowling option if his talent was honed in his younger years. However, we can say that might have taken its toll on his batting because of divided focus.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Incredible innings from Haris, provided his skill-set. Credit where it’s due. Didn’t expect him to bat at that click, although he did throw it away eventually.

Good chance for Pakistan to finish this off.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nz is favourites to win this.

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen's wide balls remind me of Wasim when he was searching for swing in his first few overs

 

[Gullycricket]

Munro key for NZ

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

[MENTION=143023]SarfiBabarHaris[/MENTION] did you watch Haris bat today? He looked like he was batting on a different pitch. Definitely sent a message.

Yep bro and I was sad & surprised too that why didn't he play in odis for last one year when Sarfraz himself is a fan of Haris' batting.

Hopefully Malik's or Hafeez's (ideally both) career is end now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shaheen you beaut

Munro gone cheaply

 

[Titan24]

Bowling boy

 

[asadee]

What a find

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Nz is favourites to win this.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Afridi. What great bowling.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

That swung. Shaheen is special.

 

[IMMY69]

Nz is favourites to win this.

They were never favourites...

Pakistan defending a decent score in a deciding match is more often then not an untamed beast...

 

[Syed1]

Wow wow wow





RIP Rondhu crowd

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol Munro is such a hack

 

[Titan24]

Movement of the ball comes naturally to Shaeen with both new and old ball

 

[TeamPak95]

Arrghhh my stream froze and missed Shaheen's wicket

 

[Usman Chadda]

People who think chasing 280 is easy in the UAE really should watch a bit more cricket before they open their mouth.

NZ might well chase it, but odds are well in favor of Pakistan right now.

 

[coy0607]

Reminds me of Amir in 2010

 

[UP]

Pak should cruise to victory now. It will be an utter humiliation if we dont win this now

 

[Titan24]

Reminds me of Amir in 2010

He was never that good in UAE

 

[Syed1]

Guys whats the reason today?

Fluke?
Luck?
Bogey team?
Dead pitch?
Lucky to lose toss?
Law of averages?


The suspense is killing me

Dubai has historically been better for team batting second under lights which India also showed in the Asia Cup.

But yea NZ seems to be choking here.

 

[IMMY69]

Faheem is a such a talented bowler.

Lucky injury to Williamson

 

[Titan24]

Faheem as a bowler averaging 21 after 17 games, outperforming some main bowlers.

 

[babajee]

Faheem is a such a talented bowler.

He is even more talented with the bat.

Wasn’t Probability another excuse?

 

[Titan24]

Munro has officially become Shaheen's bunny

 

[Azzam]

Acceleration is very hard in the UAE, hence the low scores, hence also why 280 here is equal to 315 in other countries

 

[angrypathan]

Faheem as a bowler averaging 21 after 17 games, outperforming some main bowlers.

May as well play him as a bowler, he doesn't seem to be giving much output with the bat

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shaheen could dismiss Munro in 3 deliveries anywhere.

 

[Titan24]

He is even more talented with the bat.

He is more talented than he has shown with the bat surely. He needs to work on his execution of shots.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Dubai has historically been better for team batting second under lights which India also showed in the Asia Cup.

But yea NZ seems to be choking here.

You missed the final I guess.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Is Munro in the test squad? If so then playing Shaheen is a masterstroke.

 

[coy0607]

Faheem as a bowler averaging 21 after 17 games, outperforming some main bowlers.

He is a main bowler, he plays as a bowler not as an all rounder

 

[Titan24]

May as well play him as a bowler, he doesn't seem to be giving much output with the bat

He is being played as a bowler mainly now a days but in the meantime he can develop his batting as well.

 

[IMMY69]

It’s raining!!

What are the odds of that!!!?!!

 

[angrypathan]

Is Munro in the test squad? If so then playing Shaheen is a masterstroke.

Don't think he is

 

[Syed1]

Its raining.... NZ might get away with a draw

 

[Naim]

Luckly we won toss otherwise nz whold have made around 250 on this difficult pitch. And if pak chased that total then that was because of batting under light

 

[Titan24]

Its raining.... NZ might get away with a draw

Hopefully its isnt gonna be that much and for long

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

You missed the final I guess.

There will always be games here and there but in general it has always favoured teams batting second. Abu Dhabi on the other side is horrible for teams batting second.

So yea Dubai is the only place in the UAE where teams batting second have a slight advantage. The reason people were not too sure about the score.

But I think Pak has scored much more than the par 1st innings score for that chasing thing to come into play. Though you never know

 

[Azzam]

Seems to me Haris Sohail is the only batsman in the country who can bat you to a win

 

[TeamPak95]

Malik with fumble. Now if he were anyone else barring Hafeez fielding there, Saifi: sdfasgafbhaeftgheatfvsd

 

[Madplayer]

Stupid rain.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why arent southee and williamson playing?

 

[Titan24]

Seems to me Haris Sohail is the only batsman in the country who can bat you to a win

Fakhar is also one and Babar will develop soon

Yeah it’s worse in Abu Dhabi, since the new ball always swings a bit more under lights. But it’s not easy to chase 280 anywhere in the UAE. Shadab and Hafeez will come into play on a pitch getting slower and lower by the over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If the chase is reduced to say 160 in 25 overs , it will favor NZ.

 

[Titan24]

Why arent southee and williamson playing?

Williamson is unfit

 

[Azzam]

Nicholls looks in sublime form, damn

 

[angrypathan]

Why arent southee and williamson playing?

Williamson has a groin strain, not sure if Southee is injured or if they just wanted to unleash our perennial tormentor Matt Henry upon us

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great opportunity to build our confidence. Must win no excuses.

 

[coy0607]

Gotta put Shadab and Fakhar at mid on and mid off

 

[Azzam]

Just like India are completely dependent on Rohit and Kohli, Pakistan are wholely dependent on Zaman and Azam, if either of those two pairs fail together, their team loses

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why not try Hafeez? He'll make life hell for Worker.

 

[coy0607]

I love Shaheen's Yorker

Uses it as often as anyone in world cricket

 

[topspin]

First of my six predicted wickets for SSA witha gem of a ball

 

[imshally81]

M Hafeez should bowl now..

 

[coy0607]

Just like India are completely dependent on Rohit and Kohli, Pakistan are wholely dependent on Zaman and Azam, if either of those two pairs fail together, their team loses

I would say Farhar even more so.

Fakhar's fast starts allow Babar and others to play themselves in

 

[Nasty Naz]

Just like India are completely dependent on Rohit and Kohli, Pakistan are wholely dependent on Zaman and Azam, if either of those two pairs fail together, their team loses

Or Australia without Smith and Warner. Or England without Root and Morgan. Or SA without ABD and Amla.

Every team falls apart when you remove the two best batsmen on the team.

 

[coy0607]

M Hafeez should bowl now..

Don't think he likes the wet ball

 

[Baigel]

Faheem gets the proceedings even. 1-1

 

[Syed1]

Two boundaries off Rana...... some in Peshawar must be doing bhangra )

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bit worried rain might nullify our spinners.

 

[topspin]

I can never understand why batsmen in general don't target Faheem more.

 

[babajee]

Two boundaries off Rana...... some in Peshawar must be doing bhangra )

Eid came early )

 

[Titan24]

I can never understand why batsmen in general don't target Faheem more.

Nippy and accurate on most occassions
