New Zealand (261 all out) beat Pakistan (182 all out) by 79 runs in the 2nd ODI in Karachi

This is very bad planning i am afraid...they do realise the spinners if it carried out spinning will make or life hell and here they are actually leaving every ball outside offstump.

This is a 50 over game bhai. Ball is doing a bit under lights and they are already 2 down. Driving the ball is always risky against moving ball.
They need a partnership doesn't have to be very quick one
 
Rizwan struggling to get bat on ball - countdown to call physio on its way
 
Southee should not have bowled this over

Kane needs to bring in Santner next over after lockie
 
So Pakistan genuinely does not have a 155kmh bowler right now?
 
Rizwan played a very good inning last match, similar inning with otyers playing their part would do the job.
 
Oh bas karde Waqar

Darryl Mitchell can’t be an option here
 
Santer is very different from Nawaz. He is very slow while Nawaz is quick.
 
Where was this turning pitch in Tests?

Pakistan seem to be in a very tough position to chase this. Likely not happening if Babar falls early.
 
Okay, the ball is turning… we all know.

Must Rizwan be surprised every time there is turn?
 
Pakistanis can't play two types of bowlers at all.

Fast bowlers (145+)
Quality leg spin.

Other teams just need to have these two type of bowlers in their lineup and Pakistan batsmen will be toast.

It's not a coincidence that every Pakistani struggles against Mark Wood and Adil Rashid.

A big lie Adil Rashid averages mid 40 against Pakistan with economy over 6. Mark wood also average mid 30 with economy close to 6.
 
I would love to bowl to Latham behind the stumps

Such a charming voice
 
More bite with the new ball. Expect it to get easier against the spinners as the innings progresses
 
First 50 will come in 90 balls .... Rizwan will scratch for his 50 again but it is spinning a lot, he will soon be back in the hut...
 
You gotta wonder why haris wasn't sent. Stage was sent for him and babar to repeat the 2019 chase.
 
So PCB purposely prepared dead pitches for the tests , could have easily been this kind of pitch with pace bounce and spin.
 
You gotta wonder why haris wasn't sent. Stage was sent for him and babar to repeat the 2019 chase.

He hit a few boundaries in the last game, so the management has labeled him as a lower order hitter.

His role will now be to bail out Pakistan from the mess that Rizwan will create at the top order. And when he fails playing this high risk role, he’ll be blamed and booted out
 
ok first 50 in 85 balls..if they take another 85 balls for the next 50 with or without losing wkts, game is in NZL pocket..
 
Babars limitations are exposed on wickets which aren’t a road and the bowling isn’t weak.

Rizwan is an all time great can’t say anything against him.

:kakmal
 
30 over of spin, if they play them at 4RPO which is still ambitious as they are going at less 3RPO now

At 4RPO they will make 120 runs out of 30 overs and in the remaing 20 they have to make 140+ to win this match..

Looking very tough as of now even with wkts in hand.....
 
Babar is struggling just to take a single against these spinners. Eventually Pakistan will need to get a move on.
 
Openers should be looking at 100s here and an easy run chase, another below par total by NZ

Hello. Have you been watching or only commenting.
This isn't easy. If nawaz is ripping it that much- there's a lot there for the spinners.
Let's hope these 2 can hang in there and take it far

Did he alr get out? At least wait for the innings to end before such statements

Well modern day batting is as such , any assitance in the pitch for bowlers and if the bowlers are half good..every team is struggling...


But yes Rizwan all time great lol :farhat
 
Not even going 4 an over. And these two are supposedly two of the “feared” t20 batsmen!

You are right all Pakistani batsmen are tailenders and other teams have Bradmens and Pakistan will be whitewashed this series.
 
run rate is like zero well over 6 already and its our own doing i was expecting huge spin but not much this is just block block
 
Imam the phony flat track weak bowling basher will be exposed aswell with more wickets offering a bit for the bowlers.
 
Very ordinary play by Pakistan. I understand that the pitch is tough against spinners but these 2 aren't even trying anything different. Just scoring 3 runs an over and taking no risks.
