New Zealand (224/7) defeat Pakistan (179/7) by 45 runs in the third T20I to go 3-0 up in the 5-match series

[pakistanisgreat]

This is ridiculous

 

[Rana]

Rizwan was struggling but its scoreboard pressure too. You pretty much have to go at it non stop

But he’s the greatest opener in Pakistan’s history so it shouldn’t be a problem for him

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

lol these guys can't even time any of their spinners. No six hitting ability either.

Uhh well goodluck. Azam & Ifti going to coming it when the run rate is 15+ and getting out trying to go big.

Awful innings from Rizwan ends.

Why this guy always loses balance after getting out ?

 

[Rana]

@msb314 is the depression back for you?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Team is not even going 8 runs an over chasing 225.

Like cmon guys. Minnow level stuff.

 

[Rana]

Why this guy always loses balance after getting out ?

When is he ever balanced?

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan is seriously wasting the powerplay . Please let fakhar open

 

[Kroll]

@msb314 Ambala sweets for Saim’s dismissal

@gazza619 Nirala sweets

Myself at Poonam sweets for Rizwan Hahahhahaha

Add Nafees and Anmol for the next pathetic losers.

 

[Rana]

Pathetic inns by Riz, at least give it a go.

Bro he did…missed his 50 by 26 runs

Who cares about Pakistan?

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Like I said, their are at least 10 keepers in Pakistan alone better than Rizwan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar and not picking googlies... its timeless.

 

[Kroll]

Rizwan is seriously wasting the powerplay . Please let fakhar open

Rizwan literally has one shot, the slog sweep to leg.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sodhi needs to got for 80 off 4 overs

 

[kingusama92]

Zaman showing good intent here.

Should have been opening.

 

[ads101]

Bad series by Rizwan he was really disappointing this tour.

 

[msb314]

Babar needs to tee off now too

 

[Rana]

next game Saim will be at 4 and Fakhar will open hahhahaahhahahaha

 

[Ahmed216]

Super shot from babar

 

[Rana]

Babar needs to tee off now too

Will be the first time in his life

I don’t think he’s tee’d off in a park tape ball game

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need a over of 20 plus to give a outside chance

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol Santer just slows it down and this team just can't do anything about it.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan literally has one shot, the slog sweep to leg.

One trick ponywan

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar's been amazing at 4.Only positive so far from this series

 

[gazza619]

Keen to see Azam

Common Azam boy, waiting for u sweety

 

[pakistanisgreat]

lol babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sad stuff from Babar. A spinner comes on and his runs as usual completely dry up.

 

[Ahmed216]

Keen to see Azam

Common Azam boy, waiting for u sweety

Haseebullah is ten times the cricketer

 

[Suleiman]

Down to Fakhar again…

Saim needs to bat with Fakhar as much as possible instead of the legside run a ball dud.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar's been amazing at 4.Only positive so far from this series

@Ahmed216 happy for Fakhar making number 4 his position.

Bro Poonam sweets is good. Place an order in the morning

 

[pakistanisgreat]

not sure what would they do in America sluggish wickets

 

[Rana]

Keen to see Azam

Common Azam boy, waiting for u sweety

Ai haiii

Namak paarey will be ordered as well if Azam fails?

 

[Suleiman]

Keen to see Azam

Common Azam boy, waiting for u sweety

 

[bones]

Haseebullah is ten times the cricketer

Everyone is a better cricketer on the bench.

I am fed up of Pakistan never ever trying to get ahead of the rate.

 

[Kroll]

@Shoaib Akhtar 100 MPH Anmol nice bro?

Standard, Nirala and Ambala prob best at the moment.

 

[Nasty Naz]

8.8 runs an over when chase is 225 runs an over when you basically have to go 11 runs an over. Just not good enough.

 

[Suleiman]

Can Fakhar cement his place as the Kiwi Killer?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

137 in 60. Too much to ask for

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

110 in 10 was walk in park with more intent on this ground and Game would have been on

 

[Kroll]

Babar needs to turn on the afterburners.

 

[Rana]

If NZ win it means Pakistan will get some respite with Will Young coming in next game

 

[pakistanisgreat]

honestly as a babar fan i don't think he should be playing t20.

 

[Rana]

Just play properly fakhar

 

[Ahmed216]

Everyone is a better cricketer on the bench.

I am fed up of Pakistan never ever trying to get ahead of the rate.

Throughout our history we've won t20's with our good bowling. Not often do we see 220 getting chased. Do we by any side?

 

[Kroll]

Azam eyeing up the KFC buckets.

 

[Rana]

Great innings at number 4

 

[produke]

Everyone is a better cricketer on the bench.

I am fed up of Pakistan never ever trying to get ahead of the rate.

At least the batters try. No thanks to the bowlers.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Not sure why fakher trying this

 

[Kroll]

Please send Azam, not Iftimania.

 

[Rana]

@gazza619 it’s time for your best middle order batsman of Pakistan Iftikhar

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar with the chip over cover. CLASS

 

[AAli98]

Now the real batting starts

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Azam to hit 6 sixes

 

[ads101]

It was a good effort by Fakhar. He needs to be opening now even if it means demoting Saim.

 

[Suleiman]

Had no choice. These bums brought him into too late.

Imagine if they played him at 4 in the ODI WC. He wouldn’t have been able to deliver that legendary innings Vs NZ and we would’ve lost by a landslide.

All the lessons are there, but we refuse to learn in the name of seniority and cliques.

Sooner this RizBab friendship gets torn apart the better. They are monopolizing the top order.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Poor strategy by Pakistan

 

[Rana]

It was a good effort by Fakhar. He needs to be opening now even if it means demoting Saim.

What did I tell you all???

 

[Ahmed216]

Top big an ask for our batsmen. Not your fault Fakhar

 

[Kroll]

Come on Azam, show us what you can do?!

 

[Galla]

Time to play for NRR

 

[boomboomcheema]

Softie cruising towards another match losing inconsequential fifty.

 

[Asif321]

Azam hopefully can do something

 

[kingusama92]

Yeah, it's pure rubbish from the management and captain here.

You have to use your resources properly.

Someone has to be willing to tell Rizwan to move down the order cause this is just a waste.

 

[AAli98]

Look at the state of him.. is moin some establishment his gotta hold on Pak cricket to select this 180+kg player

 

[Nasty Naz]

Bruh what a team this is...

 

[Ahmed216]

What did I tell you all???

Fakhar's had his chances before. I repeat he was failure as an opener. A big failure.
Now they should let him perform at the only position he's looking decent.
If Rizwan continues to fail he too should be removed as and try sahibzada may be

 

[Rana]

Top big an ask for our batsmen. Not your fault Fakhar

You know how these scores become easier?

When you target 70-80 in the powerplay

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar playing for another draw here..

 

[SamNJ]

Sodhi has so many good weapons but his control is quite poor and he can't think once he starts to get hit.

 

[Kroll]

Looks like they've given up in this over. Understandable, too much of an ask. Bowling was too pathetic again.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar literally can't hit anything but singles against a spinner. It's embarrassing for a sub-continent batsmen to be this bad vs spin.

 

[Asad T]

Had no choice. These bums brought him into too late.

100%
they made 225, and they send their only explosive batter at #4 in the 8th over when its already lost
silly thinkng

 

[SamNJ]

Babar playing for another draw here..

Saving follow on may be.

 

[Rana]

Time to play for NRR

NRR for your jobs hahah

 

[AAli98]

Ishit Sodhi getting away with murder

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Imagine requiring 13 an over and just scoring 4 against weakest bowler of opposition

 

[CerebralPatriot]

What a shot Azam

 

[BouncerGuy]

WHat a shot by azam khan...6

 

[Rana]

@gazza619 that 6 will make him play the next series too

 

[kingusama92]

Finally Azam hits a six.

 

[Galla]

Some mithai for azams highest t20i score also
