New Zealand (243/5) defeat Pakistan (242) comfortably by 5 wickets in the final of Tri-Nation ODI series

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan took that review as if it was Hulk Hogan loading up for his big boot

That was also on Agha tbh

 

[jamie smith]

What time pass thread,I have posted only 2 times there.

 

[Rana]

Cometh the hour

Cometh the man

Cometh the Khushdil

 

[Justcrazy]

Khushdil introduced now to attack

 

[FearlessRoar]

I can't help but laugh at the thought of Khushdil Shah being our spin weapon

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand why Pakistan management is so much averse to the idea of playing proper spinners , they keep on playing part timers , who with bat also contribute nothing

 

[Ahmed216]

Khushdil is our Santner

 

[Rana]

Khushdil was asking for a review but he’s not in that senior mates group of Rizwan, Babar, Naseem, Shaheen and Agha so he can’t have a free buffet review unfortunately

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is no Fab 5 lol Babar PR working overtime.

 

[Justcrazy]

At this stage Kiwis cursing along , Williamson looking very well.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

There is no Fab 5 lol Babar PR working overtime.

Babar has 31 international 100s. Kohli has been a tailender in tests for 5 years now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bounce is very low.

 

[Ahmed216]

Salman bhai bowled that with a lot of guile

 

[jamie smith]

fakedil with a tidy over.
Agha produces a beauty.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Salman gets wicket , Pakistan need couple of quick ones more

 

[Rajdeep]

NewZealand looking very strong going into CT. So only one from India or Pakistan will qualify into semi finals from Group A.

Likely India and NZ

 

[ads101]

Huge wicket

 

[jamie smith]

Comeback anyone??

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Likely India and NZ

India is a very overrated ODI team. They are better in tests at full strength. NZ almost always have their number in ICC tournaments and Pak edge out India in CT usually.

 

[jamie smith]

where is the aggression today??

 

[Rana]

NewZealand looking very strong going into CT. So only one from India or Pakistan will qualify into semi finals from Group A.

Pakistan win v NZ (2 points Pakistan)

NZ win v India (2 points NZ)

All 3 teams beat Bangladesh (NZ and Pak 4 points, India 2)

The India v Pakistan game will have a lot riding on it with nrr also in play

 

[jamie smith]

Better hope we win against bng!!

Kane gone. Pakistan is back in the game.

pak is no way gonna beat nz

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Basically my analysis is the same from the first innings and I told @Nikhil_cric this as well.

Pitch is slow but outfield is lighting fast. If you use your feet to nullify the fact that the ball doesn't come on to you, you'll thrive on this pitch.

Staying back at the crease and trying to backfoot everything is suicide on this pitch.

The low bounce effectively means playing late cuts, or standing back for cover drives or Lofts is impossible.

That's why agha has been very good at this pitch, he uses his feet albeit only against spinners.

Told you chase is not going to be straightforward.

 

[jamie smith]

you jinx us quickly

Kane gone. Pakistan is back in the game.

 

[Rana]

pak is no way gonna beat nz

ICC tournaments

Pakistan has been good against them

 

[Asif321]

Better to have an Urdu commentator than Sana mir . So boring

 

[jamie smith]

Mitchell will be key for nz.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pak spinners are bowling too quick. It's a slow pitch, you need to vary your pace for the ball to grip in the surface. We saw it with the Williamson dismissal. That ball was bowled at around 80 kph.

 

[jamie smith]

ICC tournaments

Pakistan has been good against them

not happening this time around,gonna be a 2011 repeat.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

pak is no way gonna beat nz

In tournament mode we get the better of NZ more often than not.

 

[jamie smith]

Pak spinners lack skills.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan win v NZ (2 points Pakistan)

NZ win v India (2 points NZ)

All 3 teams beat Bangladesh (NZ and Pak 4 points, India 2)

The India v Pakistan game will have a lot riding on it with nrr also in play

How about this -

India beat Pakistan, Bangladesh and nz - 6 point

NZ beat Pakistan and Bangladesh - 4 point

Bangladesh- Pak - no one care

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pak spinners are bowling too quick. It's a slow pitch, you need to vary your pace for the ball to grip in the surface. You saw it with the Williamson dismissal. That ball was bowled at 78 kph.

Ball is gripping less than 1st innings but pitch has lost all bounce. Stumps line is key.

 

[Rana]

How about this -

India beat Pakistan, Bangladesh and nz - 6 point

NZ beat Pakistan and Bangladesh - 4 point

Bangladesh- Pak - no one care

That could well happen too.

 

[jamie smith]

Nedd to get these 2 out quickly.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ball is gripping less than 1st innings but pitch has lost all bounce. Stumps line is key.

Agha is the only one who has bowled a stump line consistently

 

[Justcrazy]

85 . 2

20 overs gone , Kiwis in strong position here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar has 31 international 100s. Kohli has been a tailender in tests for 5 years now.

Fab 4 doesn't change every few years lol Babar is s tailender compared to Rizwan lol

 

[jamie smith]

can fakedil at least get a wicket?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Agha is the only one who has bowled a stump line consistently

Yeah. He's a very clever cricketer. Improved s lot since his debut. Has read the conditions and is bowling accordingly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Agha is the only one who has bowled a stump line consistently

Probably the most useful entity in this Pakistan line up. Good utility valur.

 

[jamie smith]

Khushdil giving away easy singles.

 

[Bhaijaan]

This tri series has been GREAT practice for Team Pakistan, NZ , South Africa.

For Pakistan to play 2 back to back close matches before entering the tournament as hosts, there could have been no better practice.

Let’s be honest, doesn’t matter much who wins the final today. Both teams have gained great experience ahead of the important tournament.

@Cpt. Rishwat @DeadlyVenom @Rana @Major @BouncerGuy @The Bald Eagle

Frankly speaking, we smashed the English 3-0, but we gained NOTHING from that series experience wise. No closely fought match, no pressure. Nothing. It’s been a wastage of time for us rather. I am envious.

 

[Mainul]

Probably the most useful entity in this Pakistan line up. Good utility valur.

Along with Fakhar seems to be the only other modern day cricketer in this line up.

 

[Rana]

Maybe I am being disrespectful to Bangladesh but surely they fancy their own chances against Pakistan having schooled them in Tests on Roads?

 

[Justcrazy]

wickets will be crucial here , if Kiwis play 50 overs they will win this game.

 

[Rana]

Sana has an issue with Conway’s sr but she had no issues with Rizwan 12 off 50

 

[Justcrazy]

Maybe I am being disrespectful to Bangladesh but surely they fancy their own chances against Pakistan having schooled them in Tests on Roads?

Yes , if they bat well enough to get decent score , they can cause problems.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan needs to get 3 wickets in next 35 runs to make this chase interesting one

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Maybe I am being disrespectful to Bangladesh but surely they fancy their own chances against Pakistan having schooled them in Tests on Roads?

BD have a fundamental issue they lack power. This is why they struggle to bowl fast and force the pace with the bat in LOI which entails hitting big sixes/boundaries. Spin webs will not work in Pak not on what we are likely to see in CT anyway.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maybe I am being disrespectful to Bangladesh but surely they fancy their own chances against Pakistan having schooled them in Tests on Roads?

Not sure why they dropped Litton Das. He does well against India and Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Good shot.

 

[Rana]

See Rizwan just throwing the ball needlessly at the stumps? Isn’t that disrupting the equipment? He does this nonsense all the time!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Conway developed his spin game with CSK on turning chepauk track. When in form he wouldntoy with spinners

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should be looking to win against them , apart from that they have to win against one other team , not easy to get to semis.

 

[Rana]

Conway was in poor form the last time I remember in Pakistan but he’s looking a lot more comfortable at the crease now.

 

[NeVerMind]

Khushdil giving away easy singles.

He's there to make the hearts happy of the opposition

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In 2022 T20 I series , NSK produced the slowest, lowest bouncing pitch in T20I history based on ball tracking evidence .

This looks like it's progressing in that direction

 

[Justcrazy]

24 runs partnership so far , as we see kiwis get to 100 here.

 

[Mainul]

I have seen recently from many Pakistani posters that they gives excuses after a loss. For example: after being whitewashed to Bangladesh they have been saying that that was roads, that win by Bangladesh was a fluke etc etc. waiting to see what excuses coming up if they loose today..

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

We will beat India. We are better than them in CT. This is not WC.

Bro we beat Aus in Aus and SA in SA, no one cares about a meaningless tri series which is a warm up for CT.

 

[Justcrazy]

The issue for Pakistan is that Kiwis batsmen are good against spin.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

 

[Greenstorm]

Karachi stadium has become African savanah.

 

[Justcrazy]

Naseem brought back into attack .

 

[Devadwal]

A black cat on the field to support the blackcap .

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Yeah. He's a very clever cricketer. Improved s lot since his debut. Has read the conditions and is bowling accordingly.

Probably the most useful entity in this Pakistan line up. Good utility valur.

He's basically the Pakistani Glenn Phillips

 

[Greenstorm]

Eagle chasing black cat. We are winning it boys !

Catto burned the Kiwis

Foreshadowing...hopefully

 

[Greenstorm]

Aamir Sohail is right. Slip should be in place for Latham.

 

[Devadwal]

Catto burned the Kiwis

Must be a rizwan fan. Kala jadu karne bulaya hoga usne

 

[Nikhil_cric]

4 ducks in previous 8 innings for Latham

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to try and bowl good line and length and not get carried away.

 

[Devadwal]

Useless Latham is here

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand need 130 runs from 25 overs.

We are half way through here.
