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

[Greenstorm]

Mitchell and Philips are two key players left.

 

[Justcrazy]

Useless Latham is here

He is good player of spin bowling.

 

[Devadwal]

New Zealand need 130 runs from 25 overs.

We are half way through here.

This is going to be a nail biting finish.

 

[Rana]

Agha bowling too full to left handers

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

83 kph and look at the turn.

 

[batandballbattle]

pitch starting to rip, bring back abrar

 

[Nikhil_cric]

First one that really ripped off the surface.

 

[shaz619]

Camera man is doing a great job in Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand batting has a lot of depth in it, Santner, Phillips, bracewell and Smith are still left.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Problem with Latham is that you can't drop him because of his wicketkeeping. GP is too much of an asset with the ball and on the field to be given the gloves. And Conway's keeping is not great. Otherwise, Chapman walks into this XI over Latham.

 

[NeVerMind]

I'll take Sajid Khan over HappyHeart...better bowler and probably can smash it better than fake all rounder

 

[shaz619]

What’s with the negative tactics, NZ are on the ropes and you’ve taken a wicket, still no slip ? A few overs earlier there was a thick outside edge as well.

Does this scenario remind you of someone else's leadership at all for those who didn’t wake up yesterday…..

 

[Greenstorm]

Akif would have been useful on this wicket but Rana g has bari sifarish.

Latham is a parchi player. Or else they'd have replaced him with the likes of Seifert or Blundell a long back.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

There is nothing that indicates that Sajid with his List A bowling average of 37.88 will be any good in this format.

Pakistan lack a bumrah kind of bowler , who can bring fear into opposition.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Seifert and Blundell are not upgrades on Latham for this format. They don't have any keeper whose batting is better than Latham's.

Not in this format anyway.

 

[Greenstorm]

Loving Naseem's aggression. A 145 kph Akif could have changed the game here.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Sensing a wicket here

 

[Mainul]

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.

So already got that excuse i was waiting for

 

[NeVerMind]

And yet he has his defenders?!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

In ODIs its hard to continue justifying his place in the side.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Imagine if we have mehran Mumbai or Arafat min has in place of khushdil

 

[shaz619]

There is nothing that indicates that Sajid with his List A bowling average of 37.88 will be any good in this format.

Noman Ali would have been the much better pick and he can slog a bit as well

 

[Mainul]

Why bits and pieces cricketers like Fahim,Shadab are chosen in Pakistan?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mitchell having to hold on to his shots a bit longer because the short balls are arriving later than he expects.

 

[Devadwal]

NZ need another 116 runs from 126 balls .

Its getting tight

 

[Mainul]

Noman Ali would have been the much better pick and he can slog a bit as well

Yes, noman could have been a better choice than Fahim or Khushdil

 

[Mesozoic]

Credit where due, this is a top notch ODI surface. Strikes a beautiful balance.

 

[Greenstorm]

Why bits and pieces cricketers like Fahim,Shadab are chosen in Pakistan?

Connections with the right people and yaari dosti.

 

[jamie smith]

Need to get mitcell asap.

 

[shaz619]

Naseem Shah The Enforcer

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have spiced the game , but they lack penetrative bowlers who can force the game.

 

[emranabbas]

Why can’t we beat New Zealand when we’ve managed to defeat world-class teams like South Africa on their home soil?

 

[jamie smith]

Good battle going on.

 

[Mainul]

NZ need another 116 runs from 126 balls .

Its getting tight

If somehow Pakistan can get 2 wickets quickly only then

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistan have spiced the game , but they lack penetrative bowlers who can force the game.

Harris raif on this pitch would have been help full

 

[NeVerMind]

The whole point of having a fast/spin bowling combo of all rounders is that you get two bowlers and two batsmen in one go...with HappyHeart and Rana you lucky to get one of each! Better to have a proper batsman and bowler instead...

 

[jamie smith]

Brilliant spell from Agha.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan have spiced the game , but they lack penetrative bowlers who can force the game.

NZ is favourite as of now.

 

[batandballbattle]

Good economical spell from salman, turning into a very useful player for us

 

[Mainul]

A very weak bowling line up here... NZ is doing it easy

 

[jamie smith]

Don't have any expectations from Abrar

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Why can’t we beat New Zealand when we’ve managed to defeat world-class teams like South Africa on their home soil?

Saim was big factor in those wins, we don't have that luxury now

 

[Mainul]

What a head down clinical approach from NZ

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand need 110 runs from 20 overs.

Its quite easy from here , considering the depth they have in batting

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

So already got that excuse i was waiting for

bro, what is BD's excuse for not being able to bowl fast or hit sixes? You guys have not win anything in history. Sit down.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The sweep will be Latham's undoing

 

[jamie smith]

Pak fielding has been uncharacteristically good today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Abrar back , but he is no shane warne , Kiwis have analyzed him , and he will not fool them

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistans only spinner is toothless at this wicket

 

[NeVerMind]

Good economical spell from salman, turning into a very useful player for us

No need for HappyHeart...might as well play a proper lower order batsman instead

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

NZ can win this meaningless match all they want. It will be a different story on the 19th. Babar and Fakhar have to perform - it's high time.

 

[jamie smith]

Pak bowling looking toothless.

 

[Justcrazy]

How easily kiwis milking abrar.

He needs to be dropped from CT , if Pakistan want to progress to next stage

 

[jamie smith]

NZ can win this meaningless match all they want. It will be a different story on the 19th. Babar and Fakhar have to perform - it's high time.

Don't have any expectations from Babar

 

[adi_62941]

Mistry spinner

 

[shaz619]

Someone should injure one of the lanju panju spinners so Noman can come in, who is up to this task ? certainly not Rizwan, he’s only aggressive with Babar off the pitch.

 

[Shafi]

Unfortunately both Khusdil and Fahim are playing on Political background and it shows why Rizwan can't trust them.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lucky Latham.

 

[jamie smith]

Big miss that.

 

[batandballbattle]

No need for HappyHeart...might as well play a proper lower order batsman instead

I would have gone for the specialist sufyan personally

 

[shaz619]

Mistry spinner

Mistry as in the caste Mistry or a genuine Mystery ?

 

[emranabbas]

should have got one on noman or sajid instread of this abrar over hyped guy

 

[jamie smith]

Riz using all his resources.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

It's their day, undoubtedly. Black Caps....Black Cats

Rizwan is so bad at taking reviews

 

[jamie smith]

Need to get mitcell asap.

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan’s just going through the motions and NZ are coming back into this slowly, needs think a bit laterally

 

[batandballbattle]

the one time riz is not convinced for the review it is out...

 

[Devadwal]

NZ can win this meaningless match all they want. It will be a different story on the 19th. Babar and Fakhar have to perform - it's high time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Philander commentary is distracting

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan is so bad at taking reviews

Qudrat Ka Review

 

[emranabbas]

Saim was big factor in those wins, we don't have that luxury now

Some say it was rizwans captaincy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Latham is pathetic. He should try opening

 

[Shafi]

Shaheen is such a useless bowler with old ball. He is just a brainless bowler with no talent.

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped. Panickistan

 

[Justcrazy]

100 required in 18 overs

 

[Greenstorm]

Latham has 9 lives.
