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

[MANU ROY]

Pakistan require 81 runs in 36 balls can Pakistan win this

 

[Mohraheem]

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..

Yet His fan base is delusional! They keep supporting him! They have 0 knowledge in that player and his game

 

[castortroy]

You can't blame the batting

The bowling line up has once again been smashed

 

[heddie19]

Plz retire from this format babar plz

He is your highest scorer again despite the bad form.

 

[Ahmed216]

Seems like Azam cannot run two.

Azam cannot run. No offence

 

[castortroy]

Pakistan require 81 runs in 36 balls can Pakistan win this

Lol NO

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Azam legit can't run.

 

[Rana]

Need two boundaries on the last two balls

 

[AAli98]

Could have been worse imam could be batting

 

[Ahmed216]

He is your highest scorer again despite the bad form.

if babar can learn power hitting. He's been playing for too long now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Shot from Bobby

 

[ask_analyse_act]

6 runs robbed off there by NZ... both boundary saving fielding from Ben Sears and then daryl mitchell are in doubt.. No good angles from the camera pov..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They really need to hit boundaries first 3 balls and not wait for last 2.

 

[PakPremi]

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

He is doing it so far.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another half century for Babar with 160 strike rate, Superb.

 

[MANU ROY]

Babar much better in 3 position

 

[Rana]

Over recovered

Well done Bobby now take it home brother!

 

[Rana]

He is doing it so far.

InshaAllah he will take it home

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Pak win probability jumped to over 11%

 

[Ahmed216]

Kya baat hai Bobby. More of this plz

 

[castortroy]

Gone

 

[DeadlyVenom]

poor batting from Azam

 

[aukhan]

Good batting today Babar.

Rizwan as an opener is a big problem.

 

[heddie19]

31st t20i 50 for the King.

 

[Rana]

Poor from Azam

 

[PakPremi]

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 has never been third class,, alway make it to semis or finals.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Azam is only good for CPL, really hoped he could do something here today. Who else is left?

 

[Ali Active]

shaheen batting above jamal??

 

[castortroy]

Pak bowlers are just too wayward in this format and in the 50 overs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Babar: Shaheen you take strike I'll stay not out.

 

[Ahmed216]

Real waste of a spot on the field is Azam khan. Go earn a living in leagues

 

[MANU ROY]

Gone azam

 

[Rana]

Fakhar and Saim open

Rizwan where Azam bats

Problem solved

 

[hitthestump]

This is the flattest pitch in the world.

Yet again we see nobody expect RizBab is capable of actually forming an innings.

 

[PakPremi]

Azam is another poor player like Haris.

 

[MANU ROY]

Shaheen Afridi the all rounder

 

[Rana]

Should have sent Jamal

He is a good player of the short ball

 

[Caved12]

can’t play pace can’t run two

why did we pick Azam Khan?

 

[castortroy]

Lol what was the point of Afridi

 

[Ali Active]

Shaheen what are u trying to do ???

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

shaheen batting above jamal??

and gone !! not sure what does he thinks of himself.

 

[Shafi]

Azam Khan should never play for Pakistan, He gives away too many runs as a wicket-keeper and a terrible batter

 

[zarak]

Lol Shaheen Who does he think he is

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

can’t play pace can’t run two

why did we pick Azam Khan?

corruption.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen afridi wants to play a captain's knock

 

[AAli98]

Shaheen abusing his power this is how team s downfall start. Paks name will be mentioned with the same breath as Nepal Uganda soon

 

[Aviator]

The problem with this pakistani team is, not a single player can start hitting from the word go... Everyone requires atleast 10 dot balls to start the innings.. By that time half of them gets out another half score some meaningless 30-40 with run a ball... Change how many coaches you want.. Until and unless the mindset is changed they will keep getting results like this..

 

[Rana]

What a joke Shaheen Afridi

 

[Sherazkhalid]

No idea why SSA came or what he was even thinking.

 

[chinaman00]

Allrounder Shaheen Afridi gone for duck after two wild swings.

 

[BouncerGuy]

What is shaheen doing out there when you have jamal waiting in line.

 

[Ahmed216]

No idea why SSA came or what he was even thinking.

He's not thinking just like Shahid Afridi

 

[MANU ROY]

Lol what was the point of Afridi

He taking capacity advantage

 

[160KPH]

Game seems out of hand now

 

[Galla]

haris rauf is a better hitter than shaheen tbh not sure why shaheen thinks so highly of himself

 

[Asif321]

You can’t play fakhar in middle . He needs powerplay to get going .babar at 3 Rizwan at 4 is ideal choice

 

[aukhan]

Just to accommodate Rizwan.

Fakhar batted too low. No way we could have chased this without fakhar's contribution. Expecting your No.5 and 6 to score this many runs was stupid.

 

[ssuhaide]

Afridi is a joke with the bat and ball he has no business promoting himself ahead of Jamal. Pure idiotic decision. Know your role in the batting line you aren't that good.

And Azam Khan should not be getting any more chances, the guy comes in chewing his gum he is a proper hack and his lack of running between the wickets and dismal keeping makes him a liability.

 

[AAli98]

Rizwan should tell this team to do one, all effing formats they beg him to score a few & make a game of it !! Wats the rest getting paid for

 

[Rana]

One more boundary please

 

[Caved12]

a bowler just can’t decide to bat ahead of an all rounder. Can’t believe Afridi just did that

 

[aukhan]

You can’t play fakhar in middle . He needs powerplay to get going .babar at 3 Rizwan at 4 is ideal choice

That wont happen. Rizwan wont move down the order.

 

[castortroy]

Don't think Afridi is a wise choice for skipper.

Another player that's too emotional in his decision making

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary

 

[Rana]

Over slightly recovered again

Pakistan still in this game

 

[chinaman00]

This Aamir Jamal guy is the epitome that fortune favors the brave.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Damn why are they only making runs off last and second last ball. Come on utilize the whole over

 

[BouncerGuy]

4 overs 58 runs, doable

 

[Rana]

Come on Babar you can do it boy

 

[aukhan]

Allrounder Shaheen Afridi gone for duck after two wild swings.

Continuing the Afridi's legacy.

 

[Galla]

Jamal has so much potential hope he doesnt waste it like our other superstars

 

[Aviator]

Only sodhi can win it for pakistan...

 

[BouncerGuy]

and 4 to start the over. lucky but still a 4

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally 4 off the first ball

 

[Rana]

This is Babar’s best ever innings

 

[castortroy]

a bowler just can’t decide to bat ahead of an all rounder. Can’t believe Afridi just did that

Never thought he was right call for captain

As a bowler, he normally goes for crazy DRS calls but as skipper now, he will have full control

 

[MANU ROY]

Chase in on

 

[imshally81]

Babar Gone...

 

[Rana]

That’s the game to NZ

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Ok this is it, i guess. He doesn't have power to hit big.
