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

[mominsaigol]

Hashim amla was miles better tbh.

Amla played in a harsher era too

 

[jamie smith]

6000 runs
Babar 126 innings

Kohli 136 innings

Babar is goat.
Not one single handed match winning innings,useless runs.

 

[jamie smith]

saud looking clueless against pace as usual.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar dealing in boundries

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Babar looking good make it count

 

[Devadwal]

Another four and king strike rate is above 100

 

[Marooned]

Babar is goat.
Not one single handed match winning innings,useless runs.

He is goat. Just like icardi

 

[jattafridi]

need 100 runs partnership

 

[jamie smith]

century number 20 loading for bobsy.

 

[Marooned]

Real test is this agha level spinner.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Here comes Bracwell.... Babar's enemy

 

[jamie smith]

Saud looks wose against pace than even the LEGEND called SHOAIB MALIK.

 

[Devadwal]

Here comes Bracwell.... Babar's enemy

Aaj iski dhulai karega King

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud over-hyped gone...

 

[mominsaigol]

Here comes Bracwell.... Babar's enemy

More like saud's enemy

 

[Marooned]

Our batsman see bracewell as Murali for some reason.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Saud Shakeel with the Kohli reaction.

 

[Devadwal]

Saud Shakeel Gone

 

[jamie smith]

Spin bradman gone.

 

[Rana]

How is Saud Shakeel a better middle order left hand option than Hussain Talat?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Tu waapis karachi chala ja

 

[jattafridi]

Gone

 

[jamie smith]

Saud Shakeel with the Kohli reaction.

 

[Devadwal]

Saud Shakeel with the Kohli reaction.

Unlike current Kohli , Saud is one of the better player against spinners .

 

[Usman Chadda]

Saud Shakeel is supposed to be our best player of spin, and this is how he gets out.

Will be embarrassing if we post a poor total on this wicket when NZ and SA have posted daunting ones in the previous games.

 

[Marooned]

Our batsman see bracewell as Murali for some reason.

Guy has 47 list A wickets in 136 games at avg 37

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@YousafTheBeast @jamie smith fastest to 6k. King on the move. Hope you are enjoying the sixes in the powerplay.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That ball kept low. Oh dear.

 

[jattafridi]

Omg score atleast 280

 

[jamie smith]

How is Saud Shakeel a better middle order left hand option than Hussain Talat?

But there is no class like saud class.

 

[NeVerMind]

Saud Shakeel is supposed to be our best player of spin, and this is how he gets out.

I don't think we have the think-thank or ability to set up a big score when batting first...at least with a chase you know what you are aiming for...

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan and Babar, the two game breakers at the crease now. They are the K2 mountain that stands between a certain win for NZ and defeat. Can they deliver one more time?

 

[mominsaigol]

But there is no class like saud class.

He said that for tests, not odi

 

[Rana]

Babar and Rizwan Valentine’s Day special partnership

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Saud Shakeel is supposed to be our best player of spin, and this is how he gets out.

Will be embarrassing if we post a poor total on this wicket when NZ and SA have posted daunting ones in the previous games.

Saud is a joker like KG and should be dropped after CT.

 

[Marooned]

How is Saud Shakeel a better middle order left hand option than Hussain Talat?

Most selfish player I've ever seen. Will never forget him running out Shoaib Malik on his debut.

 

[Kianig89]

Bracewell looks set for a 5fer

Santner should bowl from other end with Test field to pile on misery

 

[jamie smith]

U can keep writing what u want but out of these 6k runs 5980 have come from statpadding.

@YousafTheBeast @jamie smith fastest to 6k. King on the move. Hope you are enjoying the sixes in the powerplay.

 

[Rana]

But there is no class like saud class.

There isn’t but let’s be realistic with formats.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pak fans when Saud is not in the team: 'Saud Shakeel should be in the team'. 'Where is Saud Shakeel?'

Pak fans after Saud has two failures: 'worst batsman against pace', 'overrated', 'XYZ is so much better than Saud Shakeel.'

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Devadwal @jamie smith watching Bobby and hoping he fails right?

 

[OldWarHorse]

This going to be tough wicket to chase on?

 

[Kianig89]

NZ spin stocks are standard above پاکستان

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rizbabar on the crease... COme on

 

[mominsaigol]

@YousafTheBeast @jamie smith fastest to 6k. King on the move. Hope you are enjoying the sixes in the powerplay.

Whatever the case, Today we Need babar to score a century. A wicket falling now is death for PK

 

[Hyder]

Amla played in a harsher era too

Babar would bat better in those conditions where par score was 260 to 280

 

[kingusama92]

Time for Babar to shine.

This is a good test for him as an opener to see how he holds up when others are falling around him.

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan digging a hole 🕳 here

 

[jamie smith]

@Ranas favourite over hypep player disappoints as usual.
All hopes pinned on rana faheem ashraf and fakedil.

 

[Marooned]

You want

NZ spin stocks are standard above پاکستان

Bracewell prolly has taken all his career wickets vs Pakistan.

He is barely agha level but our batsmen have successfully made a Murali out of him.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Whatever the case, Today we Need babar to score a century. A wicket falling now is death for PK

He looks really good, best I have seen him in Powerplay in ages tbh

 

[Kianig89]

Strike rotation awol

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal @jamie smith watching Bobby and hoping he fails right?

Yes why the fear when king is here .

 

[Marooned]

Pak fans when Saud is not in the team: 'Saud Shakeel should be in the team'. 'Where is Saud Shakeel?'

Pak fans after Saud has two failures: 'worst batsman against pace', 'overrated', 'XYZ is so much better than Saud Shakeel.'

Story of every player tbh.

Kg too. He has a better list A record than Saud too.

 

[mominsaigol]

He looks really good, best I have seen him in Powerplay in ages tbh

Yeah he's been very good today

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The shameless product placement and advertising in Pakistan's home matches is too much. Even when the play is going on, you can't escape commentators showing the ads down your throat.

 

[jamie smith]

Rizwan wont play a shot for first 30 balls.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Yes why the fear when king is here .

He has scored more already than Rohit scored in Aus tour combined prolly haha!

 

[Rana]

Backwas powerplay batting

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Unless there is significant dew, I think it'll get pretty hard to chase here.

 

[m.shah]

Rebuilding in progress after early wickets.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan wont play a shot for first 30 balls.

He's taking the time before he launches like the last game. If Babar and Rizwan bat 20 overs here, Pakistan will reach 300 and that should be match winning.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar should try to dominate. No point in being a kitten and stuck on crease

 

[Rana]

Most selfish player I've ever seen. Will never forget him running out Shoaib Malik on his debut.

Talking about batsmanship in white ball cricket

IMO Talat is a better left handed middle order option than Saud if that’s what you want in the middle

 

[jamie smith]

saud is to be blamed for this.

Backwas powerplay batting

 

[NeVerMind]

Unless there is significant dew, I think it'll get pretty hard to chase here.

Is this a different pitch to the previous one where we chased 350?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Unless there is significant dew, I think it'll get pretty hard to chase here.

Yeah, this looks like a very different pitch to the one we saw in the last match. Far more application required from batters.

 

[Devadwal]

He has scored more already than Rohit scored in Aus tour combined prolly haha!

Offcourse.Babar is best ever batsman to play the cricket. Now enjoy the match

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar should try to dominate. No point in being a kitten and stuck on crease

No 2 wickets just fell. Some rebuilding is needed. As long as they don't go into a complete shell

 

[jamie smith]

I would even take usman and haseebullah over him.

IMO Talat is a better left handed middle order option than Saud if that’s what you want in the middle

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Sensible batting from Babar and Rizwan here. They remind me of Inzy and Yousaf from the early 2000s.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Usman could have been tried as well for Saud. Now we know said is no good.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Is this a different pitch to the previous one where we chased 350?

Lots of dry patches.

 

[Marooned]

If babar makes a good score here I'll rate it.
but I can't see it happening.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Offcourse.Babar is best ever batsman to play the cricket. Now enjoy the match

Nobody said that. He is the best Pak bat ever in ODIs and T20Is yes needs longevity. By the time he retires could end up GOAT LOI Asian batter. Nobody said he was Bradman.

 

[jamie smith]

Lets be realistic.U were not even born in that era.

 

[Devadwal]

BTW Bradman never Play a ODI match

 

[BouncerGuy]

All of Babar's so-called replacements have been pathetic so far. Kamran, said, you name it

 

[Marooned]

IMO Talat is a better left handed middle order option than Saud if that’s what you want in the middle

Personally don't rate him at all.

Snail reflexes and dab merchant like imam.

Lets be realistic.U were not even born in that era.
