New Zealand (178/7) defeat Pakistan (174/8) by 4 runs to go 2-1 up in the 5-match T20I series

[Ahmed216]

Great move by Babar playing Fakhar in middle order. But still some people will insist that he must open.
Brilliant move

[Usman Chadda]

Well that was Australia, the bouncy wickets innred ball cricket was something he wouldn't succeed in, many other bats were also poor but he was poorer yes.

He was a tail-ender.

Also got exposed against Kuldeep and the Afghan spinners in the World Cup. Was struggling to get the ball off the square.

You talk about Babar’s poor spin game, and support Saud who got brutally exposed by the above mentioned bowlers?

 

[imshally81]

Chacha gone

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s finisher

23 off 20

 

[PakEngFan]

@PakEngFan so Abdullah and saud only atm? And haris in next series for UK? Since rizwan is injured for England?

Haris should have been selected over haseebullah who has not potential what so ever. He's a bang average batsmen at best. If rizwan. Is our Usman should get more opportunities. I don't mind both suad or Abdullah but they both need to bat with the right mindset especially Abdullah who clearly has the potential but bats like a scared kitten.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chacha gone

 

[Asad T]

41 from 21 now as Imad comes
will be fun to watch

 

[Omer2002]

Our finisher gone

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saud is a monster player of spin in Tests. But no evidence of that in LOI's.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Fakhar plays the spin quite well but good to see ifti also smashing a spinner.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Pakistan’s finisher

23 off 20

Yes one day he will finish Pakistan cricket.. psl bullies

Babar has no backfoot play against spin, it's a technique issue.

Saud has the issue of being double minded, in the same way saim is.

One is a technical issue the other a mental one. Neither are easy to overcome just letting you know.

 

[Usman Chadda]

You have to look at the context. Pitch has slowed down. Not easy hitting through the line. We know Ifti is capable of a higher gear, and yes we need to see it now.

We hardly ever see the gear.

SR of 115, after wasting a good 20 deliveries when the RRR is 10+ throughout his stay.

Please stop making excuses with the conditions. If anything, we have it easier with slight dew on offer.

These batters are poor and hide behind the bowling attack to win games.

Tbh bro, I think this is it for usman khan, doubt he'll get taken after this series. If he does then brave choice by pcb.

Kindly go watch his struggles against Kuldeep in the few deliveries he was fortunate enough to face.

Saud has no technique against decent spin, sorry. It’s not mental, he is terrible at judging length.

 

[RidiculousMan]

1 Over has to be bowled by either Sodhi or Neesham

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar on fire

 

[mominsaigol]

41 from 21 now as Imad comes
will be fun to watch

He can't do anything from this situation, max he can face 10 balls lol, unfair to judge him from this

Chacha is the reason we failed this game with the bat, but his fielding was the opposite lol

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fakhar is playing like a lone ranger.

Ifti should have done better, having played a decent number of deliveries.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Chacha gon

Ugly inns comes to an end. He is just a passenger ever since Misbah roped him in when he was the selector

 

[Nikhil_cric]

O Rourke has looked the best bowler this series and the only one pushing for NZ WT20 selection maybe.

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar is playing like a lone ranger.

Ifti should have done better, having played a decent number of deliveries.

They should have known by now that chacha is not cut for this level

These batters are poor and hide behind the bowling attack to win games.

If Babar and Rizwan can have 3 clear years of dominating the top 3 positions where they've coasted along at 120s SR (110s in PP) then the others deserve longer than one match on a sluggish pitch to show what they can do.

It's an experimental series anyway.

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar gone

 

[Rana]

Oh God

We are in Imad clutch territory again

 

[mominsaigol]

Well that's the game

 

[jattafridi]

Fakhar zaman historic victory for New Zealand c team

 

[Human786]

They should have known by now that chacha is not cut for this level

Buzurg playing at this level is something always found funny ...33 from 14

 

[Rana]

Clipping the ball in fielders hands

Catching practice today by Pakistan

 

[imshally81]

Abbas Afridi in

 

[PakEngFan]

Tbh bro, I think this is it for usman khan, doubt he'll get taken after this series. If he does then brave choice by pcb.

He should get picked though the likes of zaman Khan, Usama mir and Irfan has no business of getting selected.

 

[Shaka81]

It's the 15th over bro

What was special about the 15th over.... Fakhar is out now and Pakistan still struggling to defeat a weaker NZ team.

 

[Barragan]

When will the management realise they need to play an extra batsman and not bowler?

 

[Caved12]

Not good at all, for all the fans out there in that stadium and also for the health of my heart.

Can Imad win this for Pakistan?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well done Pakistan for losing to this newbie team New Zealand selectors probably mashed up together in their sleep.

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar is playing like a lone ranger.

Ifti should have done better, having played a decent number of deliveries.

Chacha always plays like this.

In odi he's still fine, even their he should bat at no 5 ideally but in t20 he's useless. His overall sr is 129 in the same mould of Babar and rizwan.

He's not a finisher like people think, he'll take 1 and 2 and block and block and occasionally hit a 4 or 6, which is useless Approach for a no 6 in t20.

 

[emranabbas]

What was special about the 15th over.... Fakhar is out now and Pakistan still struggling to defeat a weaker NZ team.

Bro this is t20 calm down we still in

 

[Rana]

Neesham has to bowl one

You can take 20 from him

 

[RidiculousMan]

Neesham has to bowl one

You can take 20 from him

But you still need someone there

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abbas getting a promotion due to his bowling today

 

[imshally81]

4444

First from the imad

 

[RidiculousMan]

Clutch straight hit from Imad

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There's the boundary Imad gets 150 up for Pakistan on the board

That's power straight down the ground

28 from 12

 

[RidiculousMan]

Naseem should come next

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Can’t win against NZL C side would be enough to say how pathetic this team is.

 

[jattafridi]

Can’t chase against New Zealand c team thank you for wasting my time

 

[imshally81]

Runout

 

[Rana]

Well done Imad doing that toxic move on Abbas Afridi

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor finish from Sears, keeping PAK just in it.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Naseem should come next

He got hammered in the last game

 

[jattafridi]

Wake up before it’s too late

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The promotion for Abbas didn't last long at all

 

[imshally81]

Edged and boundary

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Well done Imad doing that toxic move on Abbas Afridi

He deserved it for playing straight to fielder on full toss

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's how you hit a full toss swing and hope it goes to the fence in the gap

 

[RidiculousMan]

Clutch edge for four by Imad

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jacob Duffy proving to be another mediocre journeyman. Awful series for this guy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 balls for Usama to swing his feet off to

 

[RidiculousMan]

He got hammered in the last game

Didn't know Pakistani team were bwoling

 

[Energy]

Who gets the plane tickets to Amreeka. Big question for all the mediocre batters filling up the current team.

No look pendulum and chacha chaudhry have done enough to impress the Oman coach.

 

[imshally81]

Edged and another 44

 

[Markhor]

Those extras coming back to cost us ! Shouldn't be chasing this much in first place.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jacob Duffy proving to be another mediocre journeyman. Awful series for this guy.

He nailed the yorkers. 2 lucky boundaries.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Clutch outside edge for four by Imad

 

[JattMaula]

Comeon Pakistan!

You know he is trying trundler Yorkers. Do something.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Feels like the Kakul camp took the wind out of these guys, and the little power they did have, has been flushed out.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Now Rizwan and Babur will justify their claim to open the innings even stronger as Saim continues to score 30 runs or lesser and get out.

 

[MenInG]

TBH

NZ have already won in a moral sense.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

12 wides from Pakistan.. remember guys

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Awful from Duffy again. Bowl cutters into the pitch just like the Pakistani medium pacers. Instead of pelting it full at 135 kph.

 

[JattMaula]

Yes.

x2

Imad!



Immy is back baby.
