New Zealand (131/2) outclass Pakistan (128/9) by 8 wickets in the fifth T20I game to win the 5-match series 4-1

[jnaveen1980]

I judge these guys not based on their dismissals. But based on how they bat leading up to their dismissals. It is poor.

 

[Greenstorm]

Abdul Samad failed once again

He scored a few runs in the last innings when match had already finished and some fans were celebrating it, calling him better than Asif Ali @Rana

You haven't seen Asif Ali in Southern hemisphere. Sammad is way better than Asif Ali.

 

[Asad T]

looks like dew has set in and we are still struggling

 

[jnaveen1980]

Agha ia only positive for the pakistan from This series

He is positive? Not sure. He is very limited. Tries to play outside his comfort zone..ungainly. poor man's Rahane. He relies mostly on scoring in the third man area.

 

[Rana]

Tough tour

It will be go time against Bangladesh

We have to kick on.

 

[Greenstorm]

Side boundaries are very short. If you know how to pull you can feast on these lengths

No one can pull with confidence apart from Fakhar, Saim and Ifti. Posters were laughing at me when I had Ifti in the squad.

 

[Mamoon]

So Zimbabar is the best Pak has?

By a mile.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nobody know how to pull the ball

 

[BouncerGuy]

Tough tour

It will be go time against Bangladesh

We have to kick on.

Yeah,,, very tough

 

[Mamoon]

Scoring 50s at low strike rates in high run chases isn't a good performance. I know you understand this but since majority here is against them so you have become their supporter

His SR wasn’t low in that series. You clearly didn’t follow that series.

 

[Greenstorm]

Need 70 of 30.

 

[Ahmed216]

Haris Hassan played well on Auckland surface with lower bounce and less movement.
Thats leaves me with slight hope going forward

 

[BouncerGuy]

Need 70 of 30.

Who is gonna make it??? Hassan nawaz?? Haris

 

[Darkrai]

If the next T20 series is in Pakistan, give Nawaz another chance with Saim and Fakhar. Let’s see how that goes.

 

[Hellion]

Wonderful environs - the Basin ground at Wellington - the cake tin...

I think it's the other stadium in Wellington

 

[BouncerGuy]

Salman and shadab to rescue... 120 loading

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sodhi is paks best friend

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shadab is going to cement his place lol

 

[Darkrai]

IU - clearly the superior players

 

[Greenstorm]

59 of 24

 

[BouncerGuy]

NICE.... runs coming now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Needham terrible bowler

 

[Human786]

Salmon & Shadab - main batters at crease - 54/5 - 9 overs to go

told you - main batters -out

 

[Devadwal]

5 wide , NZ are making the game interesting for fans .

 

[imshally81]

Lady luck on Pakistan side now

 

[BouncerGuy]

And Shadab is gone now

 

[Human786]

told you - main batters -out

140 ?

 

[Ahmed216]

They cant play Neesham. OMG m traumatized

 

[Greenstorm]

Time for Jahandad to play a cameo.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jahandad needs to show something with the bat... He has been underpar this series

 

[Devadwal]

Mitchell Hay is too good for a keeper

 

[Human786]

108/7

 

[jnaveen1980]

44 runs have come from sodhi and extras

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL jahandad.... HORRIBLE

 

[RyanRyan10]

Faheem in ODIs will show Jahandad how to bat

 

[Rana]

Yeah,,, very tough

You must have enjoyed it though?

 

[Human786]

108/7

Neesham getting 3 wickets

 

[RyanRyan10]

His SR wasn’t low in that series. You clearly didn’t follow that series.

When you are chasing 227, you can't be 36* (29) at one stage. Saim and Fakhar should come in. Babar should wait for another series. Rizwan should not play T20Is for Pakistan again.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan bowling has to step up for once

 

[Devadwal]

He is positive? Not sure. He is very limited. Tries to play outside his comfort zone..ungainly. poor man's Rahane. He relies mostly on scoring in the third man area.

For pakistan standard he is alright : kp

 

[BouncerGuy]

Salman is good on those pitches...

 

[jattafridi]

What a shot brother Salman

 

[Ahmed216]

What a shot brother Salman

Lots of FC toil behind him

 

[Human786]

12 balls left ...117/7

 

[Greenstorm]

33 of 12

 

[Rana]

Respect Salman

He has shown you can change the mindset!

 

[jattafridi]

Need 23 runs

 

[RyanRyan10]

Excellent half century from Pakistan's best player

 

[BouncerGuy]

Salman and His inside out shots... BEAUTY

 

[Rana]

Excellent 50 skip!

A captain leading from the front!

 

[Human786]

outttttttttttttttttttt

 

[imshally81]

50 for Skipper... Good innings

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

50 for Skipper... Good innings

and position secured and OUT!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Wonderful knock from a proper batter... Not a tulla show..

 

[Greenstorm]

Salman should have pulled instead of cutting it.

 

[Rana]

Tour has been a success for me

Fakhar and Saim will improve this side

And Rizwan’s T20 captaincy isn’t coming back

 

[BouncerGuy]

and position secured and OUT!

8-9 balls left, what do you expect him to do>????

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need some tall players with long levers and clean hitting ability.

 

[Rana]

Hay is a good keeper

 

[BouncerGuy]

Your has been a success for me

Fakhar and Saim will improve this side

And Rizwan’s T20 captaincy isn’t coming back

Agreed... No rizwan back... Salman has been ok... Saim and fakkhar are a need of time now

 

[BouncerGuy]

If jimmy is taking a fifer then ALLAH e Hafiz ha is batting line up ka

 

[Hellion]

Neesham fifer .

 

[RyanRyan10]

5-22 for Neesham

That's ambarrasing (In Shoaib Akhtar's accent @Josh )

 

[Rana]

Respect Bracewell

Guy didn’t even bowl, and he’s a proper bowler

 

[Ahmed216]

Fiver for Neesham. Class bowler

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan intentions were right. Kicking out Rizbar is right. But they need to keep searching.

 

[Hellion]

LOL jahandad.... HORRIBLE

Even in his dreams he can't match Faheem Ashraf's allround ability

 

[RyanRyan10]

Even in his dreams he can't match Faheem Ashraf's allround ability

We have another recruit of Faheem Ashraf era @hoshiarpurexpress

 

[Hellion]

We have another recruit of Faheem Ashraf era @hoshiarpurexpress

I don't think he's that great . But compared to freakin' Jahandad , he's Gary Sobers reincarnated

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL at these tailenders

 

[Rana]

Is anyone missing Babar and Rizwan’s 30s off 31 balls here?

 

[Ahmed216]

Miserable 1st innings comes to an end.

Well done Neesham with the ball

 

[jattafridi]

37 runs short

 

[jnaveen1980]

O rourke is probably the slowest moving NZer I have seen. He is like Munaf Patel

 

[cricfan432]

salman is far better than babar limited mediocre choker player.

 

[Ahmed216]

Neesham the clown having a laugh at the end

 

[RyanRyan10]

Is anyone missing Babar and Rizwan’s 30s off 31 balls here?

20s*

 

[Ahmed216]

Bring back Iftikhar and Asif Ali

 

[Rana]

20s*

Its amazing how they got to that stage having played over 100 T20is each

 

[Greenstorm]

NZ should get to host T20 WC. They have a decent chance to win trophy at home.
