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

[jamie smith]

O'rourke is a dangerous bowler... extra bounce and decent pace

Next great bowler from nz.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Fakhar Zaman is the one Pakistani player who brings all types of Pak fans together.

 

[jamie smith]

Need to get 80+ in powerplay.

 

[Kianig89]

Faheem as no.3 like Razzaq in 99 WC

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

O Rourke is the only bowler in this series who has got this much bounce . Even got Bavuma with a steepler.

Gaddafi generally offers more bounce than NSK

 

[jamie smith]

Babar looking clueless as usual.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Duffy is really tall

 

[jamie smith]

Faheem as no.3 like Razzaq in 99 WC

Century loading for Faheem Gary Ashraf Sobers

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

I have no faith in Babar Azam - I really hope he proves me wrong and scores big

 

[jamie smith]

Duffy is really tall

Typical nz trundler.

 

[Devadwal]

I thought After the renovations ground will look's stunning but this is just Bang average ground.

 

[jamie smith]

I have no faith in Babar Azam - I really hope he proves me wrong and scores big

Looking clueless as usual.

 

[hamzie]

I don't get why Babar is guaranteed a position every game

 

[Shafi]

Zimbabar is becoming next Shehzad. Tuk tuking....

More like Serie C stadium of a club which is into administration

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Typical nz trundler.

Consistently bowling 85 mph.

 

[jamie smith]

Zimbabwe stadium looking better than karachi stadium.

 

[jamie smith]

Nz bowlers bowling tight lines.

 

[jamie smith]

O Rourke generating steep bounce.

[jamie smith]

Pak should bowled first.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan bowling is very weak.

SSA Naseem Abrar Faheem Agha Khusdil

 

[BouncerGuy]

So fakhar is gone...

 

[Rana]

Beautiful bowling Rourky

 

[Nikhil_cric]

O Rourke gets Fakhar . Really good setup and execution.

 

[Kianig89]

Patience is the key after all its a damn final

 

[jamie smith]

Rourke gets his man.

 

[mominsaigol]

Nvm rookie gets the veteran

 

[Omer2002]

Too clever these bowlers..not hard to get this pak team out if they use their brains it never have to be good balls

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Will O'Rourke and Pat Cummins - two guys who could play James Bond

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pakistani batsmen are clueless the moment NZ bowlers start pitching and delivering extra bounce.
Indian bowlers have done this many times, particularly Hardik. Pakistani batsmen are weak against short balls.

 

[NeVerMind]

I don't get why Babar is guaranteed a position every game

I don't get why he has such a big following...no big match performances or charisma like an Afridi

 

[Kianig89]

With Fakhar gone , now it's a good test of other batters , particularly Babar

 

[Devadwal]

Excellent bowling . fakhar was looking walking wicket in his short inning

 

[Rana]

Now comes Pakistan’s long Test line up of Saud, Babar, Rizwan, Agha, Tayyab

 

[Kianig89]

Saud Charles Shakeel

 

[jamie smith]

Nvm rookie gets the veteran

Looked clueless tbh.

 

[jamie smith]

200 all out loading.

 

[Devadwal]

Look at the NZ celebration after Fakhar wickets. No reaction at all

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Zimbabwe stadium looking better than karachi stadium.

Tbh, Harare Sports Club ground looks much better than many others. It doesn’t have a stadium, but the ground is lively and beautiful to watch cricket.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It's fine we need Fakhar to fire in CT

Don't use up form here.

 

[jamie smith]

Saud Charles Shakeel

Saud temba shakeel.

 

[Marooned]

NZ has been tactically the strongest cricket team for like a decade now.

 

[Shafi]

Babar will never perform against top teams. he can only perform against weak teams on flat tracks. Match is over now. Aga/Rizwan has just played his best against SA C team so no hope from this team.

 

[Kianig89]

Just bowl Santner and Bracewell in tandem with attacking fields and see how these guys fold :kumble

 

[jamie smith]

Tbh, Harare Sports Club ground looks much better than many others. It doesn’t have a stadium, but the ground is lively and beautiful to watch cricket.

Bulawayo is also brilliant.

 

[Slim]

Rourke just did what Indians esp Bumrah has been doing with Fakhar in their matches against Pakistan. There is a narrow channel where Fakhar has a lot of weakness. If you are accurate and have good ball control, you can exploit it.

 

[Shafi]

NZ has been tactically the strongest cricket team for like a decade now.

Not really Ind, Aus can beat this team with ease. Our team just don't have any talent.

 

[jamie smith]

Free hit goes for six.

 

[Marooned]

How tall is Rourke? Exactly

 

[BouncerGuy]

That was a shot of authority

 

[Kianig89]

Who is Pakistan' bowling Coach, Aaqib is the chief selector and Head Coach

 

[Devadwal]

Lol duffy give babar a easy chance to score the boundary .

 

[Slim]

Good stuff from Babar to make use of that free hit.

 

[m.shah]

What an inning babar is playing

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Free hit goes for six.

Risk-free player! He only likes to take risks against no-balls... lol.

 

[Kianig89]

Out of no where a freebie

 

[BlindingLight]

What an inning babar is playing

Is this sarcasm or a joke

 

[Marooned]

Not really Ind, Aus can beat this team with ease. Our team just don't have any talent.

What not really?

Tactically they are best team. Aus obviously always beat them but they tend to beat India more often than not.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

How tall is Rourke? Exactly

6'5"-6'6"

 

[Marooned]

6'5"-6'6"

The tallest nz bowler presently? Apart from jamiseson right?

 

[Slim]

What a comeback from Rourke after that 4 from Saud. What a talent. Crazy.

 

[Kianig89]

Saud and Babar should not be batting together ideally

 

[Rana]

So he hits a 6 when he knows he can’t be out

 

[Devadwal]

Kohli and Sharma will be walking wickets against Rourke in the champion trophy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The tallest nz bowler presently? Apart from jamiseson right?

Yeah. Jamieson is 6'8"

 

[mominsaigol]

So he hits a 6 when he knows he can’t be out

That made me laugh out loud lol

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar joint fastest to 6000 odi runs

 

[Shafi]

Super flat pitch. Ind/Aus/Eng would have scored 80+ by now.

 

[shaz619]

Babar joint fastest to 6000 odi runs

King Karlega

 

[jamie smith]

6000 ODI runs for Nepal e Azam.

 

[m.shah]

Just one inning of note (against New Zealand) from 6000 runs . King of soft runs. Hashim Amla 2.0.

 

[Devadwal]

Bobsy is looking in great touch. century Number 20 loading

 

[adi_62941]

Gorgeous flick of the wrist. I think only babar can play this shot so easily.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Look at the NZ celebration after Fakhar wickets. No reaction at all

He's basically their daddy so if there's any wicket they should be celebrating its his

 

[Marooned]

Super flat pitch. Ind/Aus/Eng would have scored 80+ by now.

Combination of new ball movement and great fielding by NZ, this hasn't been so easy.

 

[jattafridi]

6000 runs
Babar 123 innings

Kohli 136 innings

 

[jamie smith]

Hashim amla was miles better tbh.

Just one inning of note (against New Zealand) from 6000 runs . King of soft runs. Hashim Amla 2.0.

 

[Marooned]

Saud has confused identity as odi player. Same with kg. Both need to sort it out.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bobsy is looking in great touch. century Number 20 loading

But when will you be in great touch
