What's new

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

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

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?

@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.

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.

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.

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
 
Fakhar is playing like a lone ranger.

Ifti should have done better, having played a decent number of deliveries.
 
O Rourke has looked the best bowler this series and the only one pushing for NZ WT20 selection maybe.

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.

Catching practice today by Pakistan

He should get picked though the likes of zaman Khan, Usama mir and Irfan has no business of getting selected.
 
When will the management realise they need to play an extra batsman and not bowler?
 
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?
 
Well done Pakistan for losing to this newbie team New Zealand selectors probably mashed up together in their sleep.

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

That's power straight down the ground

28 from 12
 
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.
 
Those extras coming back to cost us ! Shouldn't be chasing this much in first place.
 
Feels like the Kakul camp took the wind out of these guys, and the little power they did have, has been flushed out.
 
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.
 
TBH

NZ have already won in a moral sense.
 
Awful from Duffy again. Bowl cutters into the pitch just like the Pakistani medium pacers. Instead of pelting it full at 135 kph.
