New Zealand (226/8) defeat Pakistan (180) by 46 runs in the first T20I to go 1-0 up in the 5-match series

[Mohraheem]

what happened Chacha ???3 dot balls!

 

[Ahmed216]

Chacha pathetic clueless

Chacha alongwith nawaz deserved to be dumped after WC horror show. They are the free riders in this side

 

[Rana]

At some point Chacha needs his 10 balls to understand the wicket

It can happen at anytime in his innings

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Lifeline for ifti

 

[PakPremi]

Ifti struggling.

 

[hitthestump]

Babar needs to put his feet on paddle now.

Babar needs to stay and everyone needs to smash around him.

There are heaps of runs left and he is the only one capable of a big score.

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha Ifti....never seen such an average player, so called rounder, given so many chances to never perform at the big stage!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Babar is literally showing no intent whatsoever. This is abysmal.

 

[Rana]

Catching has been terrible in this game

 

[Ali Active]

babar needs to accelerate otherwise this is of no use

 

[Mohraheem]

Ifti struggling.

LOL he is been struggling since T20 WC famous 0 in the finals against England

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chacha alongwith nawaz deserved to be dumped after WC horror show. They are the free riders in this side

He will win us this match. Have faith.

 

[BouncerGuy]

6 more from iffi bhai

 

[JAV12341]

Chacha and babar have killed all the momentum that was built both finished and need to go

 

[Mohraheem]

6 more from iffi bhai

no need to show this much respect to a pathetic player

 

[castortroy]

No real batsmen to come after this

 

[MANU ROY]

Come on Pakistani batters 10 runs 8 runs won't win for you

 

[Rana]

Theek hai Babar keep trying

 

[Ahmed216]

No real batsmen to come after this

Yes Azam is another waste of a spot

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Cheeky singles from Bobby.

No scoreboard pressure.

The mark of a true great.

He plays his own game.

 

[Rana]

No real batsmen to come after this

Well, Babar and Iftikhar ain’t exactly ideal are they?

 

[castortroy]

Babar really struggles with the power game

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is poor umpiring. 2 wides not given.

 

[MANU ROY]

Come on Pakistani batters 10 runs 8 runs won't win for you

Just trash nz

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pak win probability is 10%, Chacha needs to get going

 

[Rana]

Those are two wides

Not bouncers

 

[JAV12341]

Babar What a selfish player playing test match whilst chasing 220+ has killed momentum that was built

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the collapse

RR is too much

 

[BouncerGuy]

and Iffi is gone now. Southee has done it.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Chacha gone, it was too much for him

 

[BouncerGuy]

Here comes the big guy Azam.

 

[Rana]

Why do Pakistan players start off well and get slower in the innings? They should be accelerating and finding it easier!

 

[NeVerMind]

Bye Chacha...and please don't come back again!

 

[BouncerGuy]

Azam needs to show what he can do. Else he will be discarded from the squad soon.

 

[Ahmed216]

He will win us this match. Have faith

I know he's pathetic

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ler's see what Azam Khan can do, i hope he does well tbh.

 

[JAV12341]

Here comes the big guy Azam.

Won’t blame him if he fails run rate way out of hand by selfish batting

 

[Rana]

Kane bringing his better bowlers on in the middle

Shaheen and Rauf hiding whilst Pakistan were getting pasted in the middle

 

[castortroy]

Pak selectors need to do something about pak white bowl bowling attack.

It's been absolutely smashed everywhere for the last 6 months

 

[Sherazkhalid]

wow 6 matches and 7 runs, just wow

 

[MANU ROY]

Oh no chacha gone

 

[PakPremi]

Faheem, Nawaz, Hasan Ali and Ifti been given too many chances and should be removed from all formats.

 

[Rana]

Won’t blame him if he fails run rate way out of hand by selfish batting

Run rate is fine

11 runs per over on this wicket is not our of reach

 

[hitthestump]

Babar What a selfish player playing test match whilst chasing 220+ has killed momentum that was built

Wrong.

Aside from Rizwan, Babar is the only player in this team capable of orchestrating a big chase.

The rest of the XI can last for 15-20 balls maximum even on this phatta.

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha gone, it was too much for him

Should be kicked out of the Pakistan team tonight!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Azam looks so funny batting but lets hope he delivers.

 

[Rana]

That Fakhar and Saim wicket was a pure waste

 

[Sherazkhalid]

16 runs in last 2 overs and we have fallen behind, wow just wow.

 

[Rana]

Milne always has been a smash me bowler

 

[MANU ROY]

Can big man Azam do wonders let's wait and see

 

[BouncerGuy]

This ground is perfect for batters like azam khan and babar. But these singles won't help anybody.

 

[castortroy]

This game has gone now

How many more T20s in this series?

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha fans what’s your excuse today ???

 

[Aviator]

How deluded this ifti guy is? He thinks himself as the best finisher in Pakistan. I haven't seen him perfom in a single match...forget about fishing a game... Still remember how he was jumping after scoring a 100 against Nepal..

 

[Rana]

Babar’s been there long enough. Take it home

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is where lack of power hitting is going against Babar.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good improvisation but saved crucial runs

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar either gives up this format or works on hitting skills.

 

[Ahmed216]

Plz retire from this format babar plz

 

[Slim]

I am constantly observing that Babar keeps on taking singles and somehow the new batsman is expected to hit boundaries. What the hell, man? Babar is poor.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What on earth, they just run one?

 

[Rana]

Wrong.

Aside from Rizwan, Babar is the only player in this team capable of orchestrating a big chase.

The rest of the XI can last for 15-20 balls maximum even on this phatta.

Well Babar is there are the crease now, let’s see if he orchestrates this chase as you say.

 

[AAli98]

Bet his blocked a few in his time

 

[adi_62941]

Babar is struggling as always

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Last over from Sodhi should go big, else no chance. This is getting difficult.

 

[adi_62941]

Babar has completely forgot his all shots

 

[castortroy]

Last over from Sodhi should go big, else no chance. This is getting difficult.

Impossible

 

[MANU ROY]

Last over from Sodhi should go big, else no chance. This is getting difficult.

Yes sodhi is the guy

 

[castortroy]

That's should have been 4

 

[Aviator]

Even with such a strong team against a third class team like New Zealand, Pakistan is struggling....such mental midgets... They already give up when they have a bad day in bowling.

 

[NeVerMind]

How deluded this ifti guy is? He thinks himself as the best finisher in Pakistan. I haven't seen him perfom in a single match...forget about fishing a game... Still remember how he was jumping after scoring a 100 against Nepal..

Well he did perform in a warm-up against the Aussies after being dropped off the bowling off Steve Smith and David Warner...that's always been the level of this player

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good shot Bobby. 6

 

[MANU ROY]

Impossible

Why sodhi is poor man kumble

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally a boundary, someone got the 11 from the over.

 

[Rana]

Go on Babar

Take it home son!

 

[Ahmed216]

Even with such a strong team against a third class team like New Zealand, Pakistan is struggling....such mental midgets... They already give up when they have a bad day in bowling.

NZ batting is good

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pak win probability gone under 7%.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need a couple of overs to go for 18-20

 

[Rana]

Pakistan are in touch

They can get these runs

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Seems like Azam cannot run two.
