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

[gazza619]

Credit to Riz for dragging the game till the 45th over with such a crappy bowling attack.

You got to bring in proper bowlers.

 

[Asif321]

Abrar lacks venom , what mystery is he ?

 

[jamie smith]

Where did the aggression go??

 

[Devadwal]

Where is gary sobers aka Faheem Ashraf? Give him aome overs .

 

[Greenstorm]

We are talking about current team and this is qhat matters now.

But I was talking about all the bharatiya ghatak phaaast bowlers that have ever graced the field.

Credit to him for selecting this bowling line up

 

[jamie smith]

Abrar lacks venom , what mystery is he ?

Mystery for pak.

 

[jamie smith]

Poor from Abrar .

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why was Faheem selected if he isn’t trusted to bowl more than 2 overs?

Hasnain should still have played regardless of the phainta he got on the flat patta last match.

 

[jamie smith]

Terrible loss.

 

[jamie smith]

Mitchell gone.
Bit too late.

 

[kingusama92]

Mitchell gone.

Is there a chance?

 

[Devadwal]

Abrar strike. Is there any twist still left?

 

[Fazzy321]

Is that Bavuma in crowd cheering for NZ?

 

[Asif321]

Lucky break

 

[Greenstorm]

Mitchell has done the damage unfortunately.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Abrar going at close to 6 RPO on a pitch where his counter-parts barely went at 3 RPO.

Rubbish bowling, needs to improve.

 

[batandballbattle]

wicket outta nowhere

 

[Devadwal]

But I was talking about all the bharatiya ghatak phaaast bowlers that have ever graced the field.

Don't remind those day's please.

 

[jamie smith]

Riz and fakedil are responsible for this loss.

 

[Greenstorm]

A miracle spell can salvage the game here but we have Rana G.

 

[jamie smith]

Sixes incoming.

 

[Devadwal]

Riz and fakedil are responsible for this loss.

Its not over until it's over .

 

[jamie smith]

A miracle spell can salvage the game here but we have Rana G.

Maybe we have to Nawaz Sharif to see us home.

 

[castortroy]

Abrar is basically a poor man's Varun

 

[jamie smith]

Its not over until it's over .

It's over.

 

[Greenstorm]

Philips' wicket here can change the game.

 

[jamie smith]

Abrar is basically a poor man's Varun

No poor man's mujeeb.

 

[jamie smith]

Philips' wicket here can change the game.

Santner.bracewell and Nathan are proper bats.

 

[Greenstorm]

Riz and fakedil are responsible for this loss.

Why Rizwan ?

 

[jamie smith]

Have to exert pressure.

 

[jamie smith]

Why Rizwan ?

44 off 78

 

[Greenstorm]

Santner.bracewell and Nathan are proper bats.

Tricky wicket.

 

[jamie smith]

@RizwanT20Champ Thoughts on rizwans clueless captaincy.

 

[Mainul]

Congratulations NZ.

 

[jamie smith]

Tricky wicket.

Not as much as pak made it look.
It is a 280 pitch.

 

[FearlessRoar]

aj learning hi thi humary liye aur champions trophy ma bhi learning hi rahy gi

 

[followed]

Abrar nerd is terrible. He should be nowhere near international cricket.

 

[Greenstorm]

44 off 78

Not bad here and also considering 3 quick wickets at the top.

 

[Devadwal]

A miracle spell can salvage the game here but we have Rana G.

I have another Idea. Lock the Kiwi dressing room and Pakistan can timeout rest of NZ players

 

[jamie smith]

It is a 280 pitch.
We were 40 short.

 

[Greenstorm]

If he played quickly we could have got 270.

If top three had played like Rizwan, we would have 270.

 

[emranabbas]

Second power play we were short of 30 runs all thanks to rizwan

 

[jamie smith]

Thoughts on rizwans 44 off 78.

Abrar nerd is terrible. He should be nowhere near international cricket.

 

[jamie smith]

If top three had played like Rizwan, we would have 270.

No 44 off 78 is not justified in any era and situation.

 

[emranabbas]

It is a 280 pitch.
We were 40 short.

It's a slow 250 pitch according to people who know cricket like @RedwoodOriginal

 

[emranabbas]

You can ignore them.

Had newzealand batted first they would have put 300 runs on the board

 

[RidiculousMan]

Very poor batting outting today. Can't be scoring 240 on a 300 strip

 

[jamie smith]

Abrar bowling fikar free.

 

[jamie smith]

Had newzealand batted first they would have put 300 runs on the board

290 was par on this pitch.

 

[dravidthewall]

Can Pakistan pull the miracle here?

 

[Greenstorm]

They played Faheem today instead of Akif because Aqib and Co would have looked like fools had Akif performed here. We usually play with 9/10 players and that will be the case in CT with Tayyab and Khushdil in playing XI.

 

[jamie smith]

This Abrar nerd is a touheen for lg spinners.

 

[Mainul]

Srilanka could have made this run chase a tight one.

 

[jamie smith]

They played Faheem today instead of Akif because Aqib and Co would have looked like fools had Akif performed here.

Akif could have also scored those 15 runs.

 

[Devadwal]

Latham only play sweep/ reverse sweep against spinners

 

[Savak]

Abrar with his useless confused befuddled expressions.

 

[jamie smith]

Srilanka could have made this run chase a tight one.

Their spinners are wonderful

 

[jamie smith]

Latham only play sweep/ reverse sweep against spinners

Should be in swach Bharat abhiyan.

 

[Mainul]

They played Faheem today instead of Akif because Aqib and Co would have looked like fools had Akif performed here. We usually play with 9/10 players and that will be the case in CT with Tayyab and Khushdil in playing XI.

You mean Akif javed the left arm bowler?

 

[Devadwal]

Lady commie is finding the excuse .lol

 

[emranabbas]

@RedwoodOriginal who knows cricket says

Abrar is the best spinner in Pakistan

This pitch is a slow 250 one reason why rizwan played slow

 

[Mainul]

Mention me if Pakistan gets few wickets and NZ becomes 230/7. Until then good bye

 

[jamie smith]

Phillips is a great athelete.

 

[Greenstorm]

No 44 off 78 is not justified in any era and situation.

What is not justified is going against top scorer of your team who came in at 54/3 ! Try to look past your biases.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Can Pakistan pull the miracle here?

No

 

[jamie smith]

What happened in the warm up match?

 

[Devadwal]

This is one - Sided final . NZ should have played with second string team like South Africa .

 

[Greenstorm]

Srilanka could have made this run chase a tight one.

Bangladesh even tighter.

 

[jamie smith]

Miracle anyone??

 

[Greenstorm]

Give overs to Rana. Atleast expose this fraud

 

[jamie smith]

Bangladesh even tighter.

They have better Spinners.

 

[emranabbas]

What is not justified is going against top scorer of your team who came in at 54/3 ! Try to look past your biases.

Being the top scorer doesn't mean much if you can't win the game. At the end of the day, what truly matters is who won.

 

[Devadwal]

Fifty for Latham.

 

[jamie smith]

Latham getting back to form.

 

[Greenstorm]

Abrar can't deal with left and right hand combo.

 

[jamie smith]

Fifty for Latham.

Brilliant knock.

 

[jamie smith]

Abrar can't deal with left and right hand combo.

He is trash.

 

[batandballbattle]

aaj learn hai

 

[Cover Drive Six]

It is a 280 pitch.
We were 40 short.

Rizwan made the difference. He played cautiously with a lot of balls.
