[Ali Active]

why are they persisting with babar and rizwan
if likes of
Haris
Farhan
fakhar are in contention

 

[Human786]

77/2 in 7 is good

 

[Rana]

All of these kiwi bowlers are soooo bad

 

[ExpressPacer]

Saim was the only batsman so far who looked comfortable out here. He really had a 100 there for the taking.

 

[Rana]

He’s warming up

The mayor is Warming up!!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need to see chacha and azam soon.

The game is going nowhere

 

[Ali Active]

what a shot

 

[Ahmed216]

I'll never forgive Babar for not coming down the order when our middle order was so weak. He was in great touch those days but never took responsibility .2022 WC was ours had he come down the order made others play sensibly around him

 

[Rana]

Need to see chacha and azam soon.

The game is going nowhere

Relax we are ahead right now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He’s warming up

The mayor is Warming up!!

What channel are you watching? TNT only showed his six now. Is there a faster stream?

 

[imshally81]

Huge huge Six....

 

[Rana]

This guy should be opening

What a waste of a great player

 

[Human786]

13 runs - how is this new pacer ?

 

[imshally81]

13 runs in a last over again.... Good going after PP

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Oh no.

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bazooka Khan incoming

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar Gone...

 

[Rana]

Na Kar yar!

That’s a real bummer

 

[boomboomcheema]

All depends on Babar now.

 

[Rana]

Well Pakistan really are trying

This is what I always wanted to see from them

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Lmao chacha smoked it

 

[Sherazkhalid]

So whose left now, this match is not for Chacha, Azam may be? who else?

 

[imshally81]

Huge Six...
Chacha on...

 

[bones]

Unfortunately despite the plaudits about the approach it's not a good start. When you're chasing a big total you must get ahead of the rate. If the required rate is 11.5 then you need to be going at 12.5.

 

[Ali Active]

All depends on Babar now.

lol this comment looks comedic

 

[Rana]

IFFI Chacha!!!

 

[TheNeutralist]

Ifti mania

 

[Rana]

What a match!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

So whose left now, this match is not for Chacha, Azam may be? who else?

Chahca proving me wrong and almost right next ball

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Iftimania is now down unda

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar is not middle over player . He is a opener stop wasting him

 

[Rana]

Rizwan's shot was awful. Babar's awful start 10(11) played a part but reckless cricket is reckless.

At least he put his country first for once !

 

[sam_ahm]

Randomly watching this game and without any surprises I see Pakistan were dropping catches and bowling no balls while Sodhi has just taken a stunner!!!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chahca proving me wrong and almost right next ball

Chacha is always one step ahead of the critics.

When all fails and he's about to be booted for his batting he suddenly starts bowling like murali.

You cant predict him.

 

[Rana]

Chacha should hype himself up listening to Arjun Baily l before his innings

The guy is the Axe Man!!

 

[hitthestump]

why are they persisting with babar and rizwan
if likes of
Haris
Farhan
fakhar are in contention

Because 20 run cameos are no use if you haven't got anyone capable of scoring big around them.

Rizwan and Babar are the keys to big run chases, hence why all our successful recent chases were performed by them.

 

[MANU ROY]

Sodhi is poor spinner why he always get lots of chance

 

[Rana]

Sears 4 overs for 60 runs there for the taking if Pakistan want it

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Babar with a beauty

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Babar halwa bowler for you puttra!

 

[Ahmed216]

Pak batsmen are good at scoring 20's and 30's. We'll always be a good T20 side

 

[PakPremi]

why are they persisting with babar and rizwan
if likes of
Haris
Farhan

Haris is a dud

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Bobby

Good number 3 batting

biggest myth
they always perform against C D teams and fail in crunch games

 

[Rana]

Babar at number 3 is your best chance at winning a World Cup

Believe that!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saim was playing beautifully. Unlucky that he got run out else e would have smashed them

 

[Human786]

118 from 60 needed

 

[Rana]

biggest myth
they always perform against C D teams and fail in crunch games

Oh yar he’s a lost cause

Enjoy the game bro

 

[BouncerGuy]

118 from 60 needed

easily chase-able at this ground.

 

[Mohraheem]

Ifthikhar bring the Run rate low! playing test match with tuktuk tactics!

 

[Rana]

Am I finally falling back in love with Pakistan cricket again?

Yeh kya ho raha hai?

 

[Ahmed216]

easily chase-able at this ground.

Not for us I suppose

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Lot of IK supporter in ground

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chacha is winding up here.

Will be a six or out very soon.

 

[Rana]

Lot of IK supporter in ground

Overseas Pakistani sarmaya you mean?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Not for us I suppose

Yes, we can. Let's hope we can.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This should have been a 4, missed it.

 

[Rana]

Babar 30 off 22 outside of the powerplay and not opening

Looks much better at number 3 than it does opening

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Cut away from iftimania

 

[PakPremi]

biggest myth
they always perform against C D teams and fail in crunch games

Not true

 

[Rana]

Sodhi too scared to bowl in the stumps to chacha?

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is the over that needs to go big.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Sodhi bricking it from chacha

 

[Asad T]

Babar struggling to hit the bad balls away

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor players of spin these 2. Sodhi is such a poor bowler deserves to be smashed

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[BouncerGuy]

3 wides in an overs for sodhi. He wants to stay away.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back wides

 

[Rana]

Thank you Zaka Ashraf sab for changing our T20 mentality

 

[Aviator]

Only thing this old hag is capable of finishing, is Pakistan's chance of wining...

 

[Rana]

Keep fighting Babar don’t give up my boy

 

[MANU ROY]

Come on babar take on that sodhi

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar needs to put his feet on paddle now.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan right in this

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha pathetic clueless

 

[Rana]

that was a wide

Rubbish umpiring

 

[Ahmed216]

Four dots in a row. Can't pick singles old habits

 

[castortroy]

Game firmly in new zelands hands now

 

[BouncerGuy]

3 dots in a row now. This is not good
