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

[Cric1234]

You are right all Pakistani batsmen are tailenders and other teams have Bradmens and Pakistan will be whitewashed this series.

Naseem won the match for Pakistan in the first game Haris cameo helped but the chase was always possible with an under par score.

 

[PakPremi]

Not even going 4 an over. And these two are supposedly two of the “feared” t20 batsmen!

All NZ batsmen struggled too once the pitch lost its freshness.

 

[Rana]

Test match strike rates

 

[Ahmed216]

Need to find gaps more often now. Need to use wrists more

 

[DandyFellow]

Bracewell is the danger man here. We are done with his 5 overs already. We should try to do better against Santner and especially Sodhi. Sodhi bowls one poor ball per over normally.

 

[PakPremi]

ppl mocking sarfi for dropped catches in test series, today rizwan did the same..

So has Latham in test and both ODIs

 

[PakPremi]

Naseem won the match for Pakistan in the first game Haris cameo helped but the chase was always possible with an under par score.

Still needed someone to score runs all way through and he did it perfectly.

 

[Champ_Pal]

If Pakistan loses one of these 2, there will be too much scoring pressure on the incoming ones.

 

[PakEngFan]

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.

Umer akmal would have scored a 30 ball 100 here. He has 100s against rabada, Cummings, starc, wood boult etc I guess they are weak bowlers.

 

[Abdullah]

I don't like the first over after a drinks break when we are batting

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan have no answer atm NZ on top

 

[Cric1234]

There’s some turn but not spitting turn it’s not a minefield by any means top class batsmen show there class here anyone can score on a highway against unknown bowlers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has batting depth right? They may have to take calculated risks now. I think Sarfraz looks way more accomplished against spin than Rizwan

 

[Syed1]

Mashallah boys playing for a draw

 

[Cric1234]

Umer akmal would have scored a 30 ball 100 here. He has 100s against rabada, Cummings, starc, wood boult etc I guess they are weak bowlers.

Trolling or saying someone has hundreds against them bowlers.

 

[TheSultan]

So these two pile on the dots, but have some runs to their name…..so when the others try and push the rate, and inevitably get out for cheaper scores they’ll get blamed by the BaRiz cult for not being good enough.

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan is solid batter needs to up the ante

 

[Hyder]

Gray nicholas must give good deals to these two as they almost bat the whole pak innings

 

[ask_analyse_act]

These two have dig the hole so big, which they expect Haris to recover and if he couldnt he will be dropped next for someone else.. honestly Rizwan should be dropped forever until he can play spin properly..

 

[Cric1234]

Umar Akmal can definitely score a 50 ball 100 on a highway against weak bowling something which the legendary Imam and Rizwan could never do.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Both of these batsmen going absolutely nowhere. Not even looking for a boundary and can barely muster up 3 runs an over. The run rate is already around 6.5 and it's highly unlikely they'll be scoring 100 runs in the last 10 overs so its time to get a move on and looking to score some runs quickly.

 

[Rana]

So many dots

 

[MHN1293]

Surely the plan has to be to up the ante after 20 overs. If they do this tuktuk even then, this games done

 

[ask_analyse_act]

So these two pile on the dots, but have some runs to their name…..so when the others try and push the rate, and inevitably get out for cheaper scores they’ll get blamed by the BaRiz cult for not being good enough.

Exactly this is why they need hard task master like MA, Langer etc.. who knows where and what the problem is..

 

[Nasty Naz]

Despite Babar's quick start, he is somehow 27 off 49 and even scoring at a slower pace than Rizwan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good old 1980s cricket 64 runs in the first 20 overs. Except in the 80s they had extra fielder outside during this phase.

 

[Rana]

Beauty

Love you Santner

 

[ask_analyse_act]

there u go... Rizwan goes..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow what a delivery. Rizwan gone.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[MHN1293]

Thanks for the stay rizwan

 

[PakPremi]

There’s some turn but not spitting turn it’s not a minefield by any means top class batsmen show there class here anyone can score on a highway against unknown bowlers.

Pakistan do not have any top class batsmen so quit complaining

 

[JibranAnsari]

120 all out written all over.

 

[Hyder]

Edit

Babar was going at good 80ish sr and suddenly he has played nothing but dots

 

[Asif321]

What a beauty

 

[MHN1293]

Useless innings

 

[Rana]

There you go guys

Mohammad Rizwan

A nothing contribution of 28. Leaving Pakistan in a bigger hole than it was in when he came to the crease

 

[ask_analyse_act]

How many times Rizwan has to show he is not a ODI no.4

poor player of spin..

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good job on that useless innings Rizwan. Ate up a lot of balls to do nothing and now the next batsmen up is going to do the same or get out swinging.

Superb planning by these two.

 

[Cric1234]

All time great match winner Rizwan gone no Haris this time to play some glory shots towards the end.

 

[TheSultan]

Let’s see how the cult reacts to that innings

 

[Kroll]

Our hero departs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It started spinning after 28th over in nz innings , KW and Latham who are very good players of spin struggled. We do not have any good players of spin in the 11.

 

[PakEngFan]

Pathetic innings comes to and end from rizwan. He shouldn’t be batting at 4. Shouldn’t be batting higher then no 6.

 

[MHN1293]

Either haris will save us with a masterclass. Or get out quickly trying to lower the rrr

 

[mon858]

This could be bad for New Zealand. they got rid of batsman who was playing 3/over. unlucky for them.

 

[Rana]

Shakeel Suge Knight watching carefully

 

[Kroll]

Pathetic innings comes to and end from rizwan. He shouldn’t be batting at 4. Shouldn’t be batting higher then no 6.

Anymore failures and they will try and shift him to opening.

 

[Rana]

Let’s see how the cult reacts to that innings

Others who score less than 28 will always be there to blame instead

 

[Omer2002]

awful innings comes to an end with us under extreme pressure tuk tuk tuk....

 

[Cric1234]

The Rizbar regime has been foiled again.

 

[Rana]

That cocky smirk on Babar’s face has disappeared too

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol babar waiting for the quicks who may never come.

 

[Rana]

That’s me dancing in the crowed

 

[Nasty Naz]

Nice, Babar continues to play his garbage innings.

 

[Kroll]

Let’s see how the cult reacts to that innings

The cult was doing bhangra the other day but people know the score.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Still can't understand what was the strategy of RizBar. they eat up dots like they were starving for 30 days. Now the RRR is slowly inching towards 7 putting pressure on the other batsmen. No intent to rotate the strike whatsoever.

 

[shariqnoor]

Both Babar and Rizwan completely lost the plot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haris sohail looks determined

 

[imshally81]

2 dropped catches and 28 runs@50 balls...
Bad day for Rizwan today

 

[Rana]

Both Babar and Rizwan completely lost the plot.

They never had the plot

Ever

 

[Markhor]

The pitch started as a phatta before dying, similar to one of the T20s vs England a few months ago.

That said, we get too easily bogged down by spin. This is where England are so good at using sweeps and ramps to put them off their lengths.

 

[Cric1234]

Imam will get exposed more if pitches are like this and teams are at full strength.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Best crowd in the series to watch this.... lol.

 

[aukhan]

Haris Sohail better perform today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

6 ball zero for fakhar
Nothing innings from imam
Babar struggling too

But bechara rizwan is being criticized like no tomorrow.
Sab ki lo bhai.

 

[TheSultan]

Very poor by babar too “best across all formats” allegedly

 

[Rana]

Haris Sohail better perform today.

Why he better?

Why didn’t Rizwan perform? Did that ball have a bit of Karachi Mafia bite on it by Santner?

 

[Cric1234]

Haris Sohail better perform today.

Cut him some slack he’s come in a tough situation after a legendary 50 partnership by Rizwan and Babar.

 

[saeedhk]

The last win was a huge fluke! We are cricketing minnows like Bangladesh and Afghanistan!

 

[MHN1293]

Pretty good toss to win by KW and good decision to bat first asw

 

[aukhan]

So these two pile on the dots, but have some runs to their name…..so when the others try and push the rate, and inevitably get out for cheaper scores they’ll get blamed by the BaRiz cult for not being good enough.

yup, that's one big problem with our selfish batters.

 

[TheSultan]

I remember once Imran played an innings of 35 off 58 in 1985 and was criticised for being too slow. 2022 babar is playing slower

 

[Nasty Naz]

They have somehow managed to slow down even more after the drinks break.

Maybe the discussion was we are chasing this too quickly.

 

[MHN1293]

The last win was a huge fluke! We are cricketing minnows like Bangladesh and Afghanistan!

The last game had a much more batting friendly pitch which we won due to naseem and usama. This pitch as become a spinners paradise for the last 40 overs

 

[Rana]

6 ball zero for fakhar
Nothing innings from imam
Babar struggling too

But bechara rizwan is being criticized like no tomorrow.
Sab ki lo bhai.

We know what the Mayor of slog sweep city is capable of

We also know what Rizwan is capable of. It’s not double standards

 

[Markhor]

Pretty good toss to win by KW and good decision to bat first asw

NZ are generally very good at assessing conditions.

If Pakistan played the 2019 WC final on that sticky Lord's pitch, I bet you we would've collapsed for 160 trying to make 300 whereas NZ adjusted quickly and made 241 which they nearly defended.

 

[aukhan]

Why he better?

Why didn’t Rizwan perform? Did that ball have a bit of Karachi Mafia bite on it by Santner?

Rizwan played a match-winning knock last game. Karachi mafia and Sarfraz premis can continue to cry about that.

 

[TheSultan]

Here’s the result - Haris has to take a risk and nearly gets out

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar has been beyond rubbish since the powerplay ended.

This team is going to get steamrolled by spinners in India.
