New Zealand (220/6) outclass Pakistan (105) by 115 runs in the fourth T20I to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the 5-match series

[GoUgandaCranes]

Foulkes i

Our bowlers conceded 220 on this pitch.... CRAZY..SHAME

Management failure completely. Bowled first on a win toss bat first wicket.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sweet timing from Niazi

 

[zarak]

Last time I saw this much movement was in that Asia Cup game against India.

This game is a write-off, the bowlers had no business conceding 200+ in these conditions.

I think conditions changed with lights. Don't mean to whine but it's impossible to bat

 

[Dantheone]

How pathetic batting lineup can be is that at 3 down you have

Get ready for another win or learn moment.

Learn hee learn hai ..

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Also, it's probably because our new players don't really play much FC cricket.

Hasan Nawaz: 11 FC games
Mohammad Haris: 13 FC games
Irfan Khan: 17 FC games

Previous game it was God level strat

 

[jamie smith fan]

How did New Zealand score 220 on this pitch?

Ball is swinging

Pathetic bowling from shaheen.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Niazi putting up a fight

 

[BouncerGuy]

Irfan is good.. He was just not given enough chances... He can handle some pace and bounce.

 

[Rana]

Just not been Pakistan’s day. You could sense it from the first over when Shaheen’s yorker missed Seifert’s off peg

 

[Greenstorm]

Our new ball bowler was Khushdil. M Ali should have played.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

How pathetic batting lineup can be is that at 3 down you have

Learn hee learn hai ..

Having 11 Afridi like careless slogging is going to get you 1 win in 8 games.

This is not learning.. it is suffering hi suffering.

 

[Rana]

FC average of 45…

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Irfan gone

5 down for 42

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Yeah Babar and Rizwan were chasing this

220 in these conditions should nt be target in first place. but Hassan Nawaz was swinging wildly to midwicket. Better players would play off side smashes to those balls. wide and short in powerplay.. bread and butter for good batters

 

[Usman Chadda]

Let’s stop whining guys, top teams are not chasing this score under these conditions. Forget about this tulla XI, so it’s really unfair for anyone here to judge these boys on this.

There’s insane movement in the air and off the pitch, conditions you barely get in T20 cricket.

Let’s not start asking for our Test merchants just on the back of this game.

 

[Hellion]

Yes impossible to bat when you throw your wicket to full tosses

 

[Greenstorm]

Not our day indeed.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Most trending cricketer in Pakistan Cricket Circle

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol what was that shot so casual

 

[Deewana Mastana]

you really think shadab and irfan niazi at 4 and 5 are equipped to deal with swing bowling?

Read what I said there again.

I said Pakistan that means all of them regardless of whoever is playing. Even Babar and Rizwan struggle against swing and bounce.

 

[BouncerGuy]

42-5.... we are done and dusted badly....

Hoax win because of dew...

 

[Rana]

220 in these conditions should nt be target in first place. but Hassan Nawaz was swinging wildly to midwicket. Better players would play off side smashes to those balls. wide and short in powerplay.. bread and butter for good batters

Which better batters in Pakistan?

 

[BouncerGuy]

time for samad to shine

I am amazed how fickle and impatient our fans are.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Duffy should only play against Pakistan

 

[RyanRyan10]

Minnowseque performance

 

[Ahmed216]

Abdul gun Samad to demolish NZ here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Happy heart gone

42 for 6

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

How the fridge can you bung that full toss to some one and not hit it out of the park...!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good for nothing khushdil gone

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Which better batters in Pakistan?

not necessarily from Pak

 

[jnaveen1980]

From convincing win to convincing loss

 

[Asad T]

I think conditions changed with lights. Don't mean to whine but it's impossible to bat

Probably a poor decision to field first:

This is what Cricinfo said in their preview:

+++

Pitch and conditions:

The average first-innings score at the Bay Oval since 2020 is 176. Teams batting first have won four out of the last five completed matches at the venue.

+++

So if basic analysts could see this, then why did we field first

 

[Devadwal]

Just tune to watch the Pakistan innings .

45/5 in 6 overs

@Rana @RyanRyan10 ye kya hua bhaijaan ?

Back to The orginal form.

As i type another brainless Tullebaaz gone .

46/6

 

[Rana]

Depressing performance

Now the RizBar brigade will demand another decade of torture

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan back to normal

 

[zahid01]

Pakistan don't learn abrar got taken to the cleaner last game first over he bowled today again same result got opposition to a flying start no game awareness or any plan if plan a fails we don't have plan b

 

[DeadlyVenom]

People wrist slit too quickly. Just relax and see where we are in a years time. You want the PCB to not care about bilaterals but when we lose a bilateral our fans crap themselves.

 

[Ahmed216]

I think Babar deserves a place in this line up
May be at 6

 

[RyanRyan10]

Just tune to watch the Pakistan innings .

45/5 in 6 overs

@Rana @RyanRyan10 ye kya hua bhaijaan ?

Back to The orginal form.

As i type another brainless Tullebaaz gone .

46/6

42-6*

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah Ul haq ky Nazaaar lagy hai is team ko!

 

[Hellion]

Good for nothing khushdil gone

Shocking agenda against Khushdil . World class batting in CT and took an ATG catch today. What more do you want ? . Jahandad Khan ?

 

[Rana]

not necessarily from Pak

Well, Pakistan have to fight right now in this situation

So we have to have answers to these questions

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Read what I said there again.

I said Pakistan that means all of them regardless of whoever is playing. Even Babar and Rizwan struggle against swing and bounce.

but in which utopia you would play niazi and shaddy boy at 4 and 5? even at batting paradise

 

[IAJ]

One day: quickest to chase down 200+.

Other day: getting the biggest defeat? Can we avoid that?

 

[Ali Active]

Dont go back to babar riz no matter what

ya.. Bilateral series losses shouldn't matter. But they should learn to adjust their approach depending on conditions. It is a good lesson for them. you need to be extremely skillful to adjust your tempo accordingly.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'd say they should go for 70 all out tonight

 

[Azrim_91]

The only player I’d consider keeping of this new bunch is irfan. He needs to stay in the international setup for all 3 formats. Expose him and let him improve. The only thing that will be his downfall is his own mentality. If you drop him back to FC, it’s game over.

Every other player is not international standard.

 

[Devadwal]

One day: quickest to chase down 200+.

Other day: getting the biggest defeat? Can we avoid that?

Remind me of three idiots meme - Up down up down .

 

[RidiculousMan]

Samad probably thinking if he can get a 50 off 40 balls then he will not get dropped

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Saim slots back & Hassan moves to 3 for the moment. I am not sold on Salman at all as I just don't think he has it in him to play bounce & pace. Shadab needs to be shown the door along with Shaheen. Arafat & Akif to replace these two in the next series.

I haven't really seen Samad bat so I'll give him a series or two before making a call on him.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Well, Pakistan have to fight right now in this situation

So we have to have answers to these questions

Rizbabr would def loose this. what diff does it make if margin is high.. loss is a loss even by 10 runs so might as well go for it but Pak got it wrong beyond number 3., horribly wrong

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not sure bowling first is the right decision at Bay Oval. It's usually heavily biased towards teams batting first. It's also more of a 180 = winning score type pitch.

Poor decision to bowl first as I suspected. But this is a gap in quality. There shouldn't be such massive margins regardless of the toss at Bay Oval.

 

[Rana]

Dont go back to babar riz no matter what

This is the issue. People want Pakistan to fail so those two come back

Its the biggest fitna Pakistan is fighting

 

[RyanRyan10]

At least smash Neesham

 

[Deewana Mastana]

but in which utopia you would play niazi and shaddy boy at 4 and 5? even at batting paradise

Forgot what position they're playing at it's the same for all of them.

 

[Josh]

Another learn on the way for the boys. Don't they get tired of these learns

 

[shah9425]

The series and match gone

At least someone stays on wicket

It was blunder to bowl first on this wicket

Not everyday you chase 200 plus scores

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim slots back & Hassan moves to 3 for the moment. I am not sold on Salman at all as I just don't think he has it in him to play bounce & pace. Shadab needs to be shown the door along with Shaheen. Arafat & Akif to replace these two in the next series.

I haven't really seen Samad bat so I'll give him a series or two before making a call on him.

I have serious misgivings about Mo Haris too

 

[RidiculousMan]

Net practice outside off stump

 

[Deewana Mastana]

43-7

Joke of a playing nation is Pakistan mockery being made once again

 

[DeadlyVenom]

ya.. Bilateral series losses shouldn't matter. But they should learn to adjust their approach depending on conditions. It is a good lesson for them. you need to be extremely skillful to adjust your tempo accordingly.

Yeah for sure but we need to give an opportunity to learn and develop. If the reaction is that oh no it's the end of the world bring back Rizwan then our cricket will never improve.

 

[BouncerGuy]

BIG DEFEAT LOADING....BIG

 

[Devadwal]

This is expected performance and pakistan fans should used too it

 

[RyanRyan10]

Another learn on the way for the boys. Don't they get tired of these learns

This is a massive learn

 

[RahulBose]

So spinners are useless in these conditions as we all knew already but Pakistan went with 3 spinners LOL

They learned a lot from trophy,

But hey, as long as as hi learn Pak karta raha


toh 1 - 2 decades mein .... modern cricket

samajh aa hi jayegi

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen Afridi hardly pitched the ball lol He was going for 6 yorkers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Out comes Pakistans best and truest all rounder

 

[Devadwal]

42-6*

43/7

 

[zahid01]

Sorry to say guys we fluked the last match terrible performance today just give the other guys a run around in the last match

 

[Savak]

NZ assessed the conditions masterfully. They are keeping pacers on and have not bowled a single spinner.

Pakistani team management is utterly incompetent

 

[Rana]

Hassan Nawaz swinging at everything but decided to poke at the one that was bowled in stump line

 

[Rajdeep]

One day: quickest to chase down 200+.

Other day: getting the biggest defeat? Can we avoid that?

Basically what you are saying is, Pakistan cricket one day up and next day down. Up..down, Up...down...

 

[Hellion]

Faheem Ashraf

Best Pakistani seam allrounder whether people like it or not.

 

[Devadwal]

Wonder how many tweets will come today from all the Pakistan ex player's

 

[BouncerGuy]

record breaking performance.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen making his FIL proud

 

[RyanRyan10]

43/7
