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

[Cric1234]

Expecting a 190 all out kind of score now.

 

[PakPremi]

Lol all crying about Babar and Rizwan innings were asleep in the second half of NZ inning. Most Nz batsmen after the second wicket stnd and all Pakistani batsmen bar Agha have struggled on this pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Pakistan had offered this pitch in Tests, both match would have got results.

 

[IAJ]

Bracewell becomes mix of Murali and Warne against Paksitan.

 

[MHN1293]

Posters going after Babar are a joke. Other batsmen couldn't put bat to ball here.

Babar is head and shoulders above the rest.

He's been the best Pakistani bat today. Nonetheless it's been a poor innings

 

[Syed1]

Lol all crying about Babar and Rizwan innings were asleep in the second half of NZ inning. Most Nz batsmen after the second wicket stnd and all Pakistani batsmen bar Agha have struggled on this pitch.

Oh yeah we forgot NZ are playing at home and grew up playing on these pitches since the time they called roti as chochi.

 

[ethan hunt]

Pakistan have terrible players of spin yet are adamant on trying to lay a spin trap for the gora teams even in tests.

 

[Front Foot Pull]

Reminds me of Tendulkar. Team losing match after match but he is getting ton after ton lol

yes just a difference of...india losing sometimes despite tendulkar scoring a ton and pakistan losing sometimes because babar scored a ton

 

[Cric1234]

If Pakistan had offered this pitch in Tests, both match would have got results.

You do wonder where we’re these pitches in tests... but how could our batsmen improve their averages they come first team comes second.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nawaz is a tail ender with the bat, why keep using him at number 7 is just dumb

 

[Markhor]

Posters going after Babar are a joke. Other batsmen couldn't put bat to ball here.

Babar is head and shoulders above the rest.

Salman batted at SR of 113 so it was possible to bat at a better tempo. There's always an excuse for Babar it seems.

 

[badsha001]

Posters going after Babar are a joke. Other batsmen couldn't put bat to ball here.

Babar is head and shoulders above the rest.

or maybe, other batsmen wanted to win the game and make up for Babar's shortcoming?

 

[Mean&Green]

Nawaz is a terrible sweeper u don’t paddle sweep a low turning ball you full blood sweep that all the way through you’re more often than not gonna drag that back into the stumps and on this kind of surface you are doomed

 

[Sidilicious]

Match harwa diya but all forgiven because he didn't raise his bat after stat padding for 90 balls (15 overs!)

Not a fan of Babar the T20 player, but you can’t only blame Babar here. First 2 wickets for nothing and then rizwan also played poorly. But agree that Babar needs to be more proactive. He is the best odi bat in the world and needs to take more responsibility

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a bold call NZ batted first.

 

[Mean&Green]

Pakistan have terrible players of spin yet are adamant on trying to lay a spin trap for the gora teams even in tests.

Are you white or Pakistani ?

 

[Devadwal]

Babar innings is directionless .his and rizwan partnership was create too much pressure .

 

[Cric1234]

Strike rate of 63 after playing 100 balls where’s them highways gone and teams resting their main bowlers Imam will be a master blaster again.

 

[MHN1293]

90 off the last 10 with babar and tailenders. 10-90 pakistan

 

[OmaIR1]

Babar has no power game.

A Kohli can accelerate when required and finish off an innings. Babar will only be able to be the backbone aka anchor and hope someone else does the hard work. The stage is set for Babar, let's see.

 

[badsha001]

I'm pretty sure when Rizwan got out, he had a better S/R than Babar.

 

[Syed1]

Mir has a ListA average of 10 and never scored a 50 in domestic limited over. He is batting at 8. Mashallah what a tail.

 

[Mean&Green]

Babar telling usama to take strike in Punjabi are you kidding me

 

[badsha001]

Babar has no power game.

Babar has no power game inside the ground...but outside the ground he has got some serious firepower to make sure his chicken dynasty continues.

 

[MHN1293]

No use of feet from babar at all no sweeps either. Just happy to pass the strike to the tailenders

 

[jnaveen1980]

I remember Mohammad Yousuf once chasing 350 plus going run ball for majority of the overs. In the end hit a 6,4 against tendulkar, yuvraj made up for strike rate. But game was already gone.

 

[Kianig89]

Mom should be bracewell 1/29 in 10 overs legendary

 

[Cric1234]

Babar trying to sneak a 100 at 70 strike rate.

 

[Mean&Green]

Man we have the longest ever tail it’s crazy

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Babar azam seems clueless. Its getting to late

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like Babar will be sheet anchor others have to take care of asking rate.

 

[Kianig89]

Babar to carry his bat

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow batting again costing Pakistan.

 

[Devadwal]

First six of inning by mir

 

[MHN1293]

Mom should be bracewell 1/29 in 10 overs legendary

Conway I reckon.

 

[Syed1]

Wow Babar has new stat in mind. To remain unbeaten....

 

[Cric1234]

Six and out tried his best Usama.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ouch

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Scores are meaningless without context

 

[OmaIR1]

This also explains why Babar opens in T20, he won't succeed when the field is spread. Selfish!

LOL Usama is doing the hitting? LMAO.

 

[shah_1]

Babar statpadder Azam

 

[Plumb]

defensive mindset will take the team no where..

 

[Mean&Green]

It can’t be that hard if the debutant tail ender is hitting the first six of the innings

 

[Savak]

Someone of Babar's caliber should actually be dictating the chase rather than allowing others to take risks. Extremely selfish cricketer and someone who does not deserve the captaincy of the team. This team needs a tough coach to give them some necessary tough love and someone who calls it out as it is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan approaching a big defeat here

 

[Cric1234]

Wow Babar has new stat in mind. To remain unbeaten....

Bat till the end get the hundred and say I played well.

 

[Plumb]

I will wait for NAseem shah to provide some entertainment

 

[ex-q-zit]

Why did Usama come ahead of Wasim when the latter is the designated allrounder?

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Rubbish

 

[OmaIR1]

if Babar remains not out he is just padding his record.

 

[MHN1293]

Cmon babar now or never

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar has got soft runs , I am yet to see him win a game chasing under tough conditions.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Yeah we'll lose but at least Babar will get his 100(140)

 

[Hyder]

Idk why everyone just sees babar no other batsman has been able to score easily except agha
Even all hailed haris looked like a tailender before being put out if his misery

 

[Mean&Green]

No one can defend Babar today every criticism is totally welcomed and no excuses

 

[Devadwal]

Still no power hitting by babar .

 

[Justcrazy]

if Babar remains not out he is just padding his record.

He will not get 100 here , he needs 34 runs , he is not someone who can explode like Kohli

 

[Rana]

Is Babar staging a protest here in Karachi?

 

[Syed1]

At present Babar has played 104 balls for 65 runs with 8 boundaries. Meaning on 8 balls he score 32 runs. The remainder of the 33 runs came of 96 balls. Can guesstimate that King shahab tuk tukked roughly 50-60 balls. Mashallah.


10 overs of tuk!!!

 

[ha5is12]

Take babar out this team and tell me how many runs they make

 

[Mean&Green]

I remember india were 50/4 chasing 350 kedar jadhav and kohli went crazy

 

[OmaIR1]

Idk why everyone just sees babar no other batsman has been able to score easily except agha
Even all hailed haris looked like a tailender before being put out if his misery

So the match is over?

Your so called best batsman is out on the crease and he can't win it for us?

Kohli chased down 49 or something from 18 against us. That's called GOAT.

 

[MHN1293]

Idk why everyone just sees babar no other batsman has been able to score easily except agha
Even all hailed haris looked like a tailender before being put out if his misery

I support babar. However his intent this game has been abysmal. Sure he struggles against spinners but even against pacers he's barely tried to take charge

 

[160KPH]

Need 2 big overs to get run rate down.

 

[Cric1234]

He’s playing for his hundred it really looks like it.

 

[badsha001]

next time someone in-person tells me Babar is the best batsman is getting a mouthful from me. Hopefully no fist.

 

[Professionalismandflair]

Wasim jnr is no all rounder

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well left !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has become midget mentality under babar , he was never a captain material.

 

[Devadwal]

Idk why everyone just sees babar no other batsman has been able to score easily except agha
Even all hailed haris looked like a tailender before being put out if his misery

Becouse he is considered as a best batsman of all formats ( in reality he is no where near) .so he has to win the game in taught circumstances.

 

[AAli98]

Get the cake out lads all rounder Wasim hadlee just hit a boundary!!

 

[Cric1234]

Even the tailenders are showing more intent.

 

[jnaveen1980]

very canny bowler Santner. NZ will be a potent force in world cup 2023 with their spin attack

 

[Justcrazy]

Wasim jnr is no all rounder

He has no hundred at any level .

 

[Syed1]

Pakistan has become midget mentality under babar , he was never a captain material.

Not many will remember, Pakistan's worst showing in an u19 WC came with Babar shahab as captain. I think we ended 9th or 10th iirc.

 

[OmaIR1]

The fact that the boundaries are coming from the tailenders and not Babar is mind boggling.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Babar has let the Rrr creep up. Dont know what hes waiting for

 

[Rana]

Why Babar not taking the risks?

Would Kohli or Sharma give strike to Shardul Thakur to hit sixes in this situation?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bazid says Babar wants wasim to go after bowling. He is right.

 

[OmaIR1]

Babar should be hogging the strike and trying to win it. Instead he'll casually just give the tailenders the strike. Crazy!
