New Zealand (264/8) defeat Pakistan (221) by 43 runs in the third ODI to accomplish the series whitewash by 3-0

[Sachin fan]

Saim, Fakhar, then Rauf and Imam today. Have Pakistan been unlucky with players getting injured and hence they are losing games..

Don't forget, the dashing opener Usman Khan, who set the first ODI on fire, has a hamstring injury and missed the next two matches.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good shot to open the account babar...4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abdullah and his usual stylish shots that are useless... Not sure why people rate him high enough.

Ya.. He tries to be like MO yousuf with those straight bat shots. Ya.. he has some technical issues that he has to work on. But he has some decent basics. He is only 25.. So he has time on his hand to work on.

 

[jnaveen1980]

TOld you the pitch has no bounce. Babar pulled from hip height.

He should be playing domestic cricket for that... His comeback has shocking... OUT OF THE BLUE MOON

 

[imshally81]

Very biased NZ umpires and commentators

Spot on... Club level umpiring and commentary

Pakistan is playing like a club level team also.... LOL

 

[Ahmed216]

Abdullah got no power off the backfoot

 

[jnaveen1980]

We miss the entertainment industry Ramiz Raja in the commentary box

 

[BouncerGuy]

Kitabi player... 2 out of 10 times...

 

[Space Cat]

NZ cricket is going back to sky next year. Hopefully see the return of better coverage and commentators. This is free to air coverage.

Kitabi player... 2 out of 10 times...

Tbf, Pakistan batting well atm, their slow but wickets in hand, score isn't that much. But the issue with these innings is that one wicket ends it all

 

[mango_bite77]

Concussion sub is Usman khan confirmed, wasn't be injured ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abdulla puts away bad balls very well. But he gets into problem when he doesn't get bad balls.

Absolutely no intention to pick singles

 

[jnaveen1980]

Absolutely no intention to pick singles

That explains his career strike rate of 80 in this day and age

 

[jnaveen1980]

These bowlers don't bowl slower balls as well as Pakistan bowlers

 

[BouncerGuy]

Usman Khan has been named as the concussion substitute

 

[Kianig89]

Never seen a more darker phase in Pakistan cricket , whats happening since CT, Aqib Javed finally did it on Pakistan team after all the years lurking at NCA level and low profile roles

Blanked? There was a single match played in that series, rest were all washed out. And that match was on a 300+ wicket. Give those bowlers such a helpful wicket and see.

Lol man india was blanked by novices in 2019
3-0 and even in 2022 india lost the series 1-0 and 2 matches were washed out.

In one of the match india scored 219 all out and New Zealand scored 104-1 in 18 overs if 2 more overs were bowled india would have lost the series 2-0
India is always get beaten by New Zealand in odis and tests whenever they tour there

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar going to embarrass himself vs Bracewell again?

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 7 , these two have already played good number of balls and are set , need to accelerate a bit here.

 

[followed]

India has a 2-1 record on this ground and restricted NZL to 243 in 2019, only time they fielded first here. Now watch the match.

Lol they have 0-4 record in last 6 matches in New Zealand.

 

[followed]

Last time we played an ODI in NZ, they were full strength. Not a D side like the one PAK are currently playing.

Lol when New Zealand whitewashed india they were novices
3-0
1-0
Stop the false bravado.

 

[Ahmed216]

Gutless display once again

 

[Sachin fan]

Babar with another "fighting" innings

 

[Sachin fan]

Lol when New Zealand whitewashed india they were novices
3-0
1-0
Stop the false bravado.

Calling a rain curtailed series where one match was played a "whitewash", is next level of desperation.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sluggish outfield....

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar with another "fighting" innings

I don't get it? Genuinely speaking of i was Babar azam knowing full well that Pakistan's stock options are dry as it is and I'm the ladla of pcb + my form halls declined

I'd go at it with nothing to lose, this is not a world cup, heck it's not even a series decider? So what the heck? Why is he such a spineless coward with Abdullah his copy cat being an even bigger coward

Lol I was talking about 2019 but even in 2022 india would have lost 2-0 if there were 2 more overs bowled.

 

[imshally81]

Finally a Six

 

[Justcrazy]

50 runs partnership between these two here.

 

[followed]

Lol zimbo is showing his class. Loser.

 

[Sachin fan]

Pakistan have all 10 wickets in hand, good chance of a win if they keep the required rate in check

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

This is the perfect "Babar" match.

Meaningless match when you're down 0-2. Don't be surprised if Babar scores a 100 here.

 

[Sachin fan]

Usman Khan announced as concussion substitute for Imam

 

[followed]

Abdullah is chinese technique. He has fake technique.
It's torture to watch him bat.

 

[followed]

Abdullah chinese technique shafique is 26 off 46.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Saim & Fakhar really cover up the glaring holes in the mindset of Pakistani batters.

The lack of cricket sense is amazing. 0 urgency, 0 intent. Just a bunch of timid players out there going through the motions.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abdullah has been a torture to watch so far... No game awareness, pathetic stuff

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan coasting

 

[IAJ]

Babar to Abdullah: ‘O prawa preassure nahi lena’

Abdullah’ reply: ‘Bhai, ab kon sa preassure hai, series tou warr gai hai na’

 

[jnaveen1980]

Guru and disciple batting together much like Sachin and Kohli batting together

 

[Justcrazy]

Both of them seems to be happy with 5 runs and over , and let the required rate go up.

 

[BouncerGuy]

People will start blaming babar in case he gets out because he has to compensate for Abdullah's pathetic strike rate as well...

Hope all goes well...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both of them seems to be happy with 5 runs and over , and let the required rate go up.

They will be targetting their 5th bowler

 

[lazy cricketer]

fake abd need to be kicked out

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Both of them seems to be happy with 5 runs and over , and let the required rate go up.

One guy batting at 50 SR and other at 100.. but yes, lets blame both because the faster guy is Bobby

 

[mominsaigol]

10 wickets un hand yet rr is creeping

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

People will start blaming babar in case he gets out because he has to compensate for Abdullah's pathetic strike rate as well...

Hope all goes well...

Its so inevitable its not even a prediction anymore.

 

[Sachin fan]

Will take required rate to 8,9+, then get out and blame rest of inexperienced lineup

 

[mominsaigol]

People will start blaming babar in case he gets out because he has to compensate for Abdullah's pathetic strike rate as well...

Naw, no issue with his innings today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abdulla has reached his 50 balls. Well played

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan cricket summed up perfectly here

 

[kingusama92]

This is some horrific batting from Shafique.

Babar is not the issue right now.

 

[Sachin fan]

One guy batting at 50 SR and other at 100.. but yes, lets blame both because the faster guy is Bobby

Babar has show 0 intent except couple of shots of bracewell. And his strike rate is now 87 which is criminal when required rate is nearly 7.5 now. Abdullah struggling doesn't excuse experienced Babar

 

[followed]

Abdullah chinese technique is going nowhere with this innings. What does he even want to achieve with this approach.

 

[followed]

Zimbo has never helped Pakistan win a match single-handedly. His approach his mindset is so pathetic

 

[honey29695]

Abdullah Shafiq torture ends here

 

[BouncerGuy]

And the kitabi player goes after playing a pathetic knock....

 

[Greenstorm]

Babar has shown intent today.

 

[imshally81]

Abd gone finally

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Ya Babar is putting too much pressure of Abdullah that he got out now

 

[jnaveen1980]

How will you compare Azhar Ali with Abdulla Shaifque? Who do you think is better?

 

[followed]

Hahahahah lol hahahah it genuinely made me laugh hahhah

Lol abdullah the Chinese technique departs after playing a scintillating knock of 33 off 56 balls.
Bye bye chinese technique never show your face again.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Abd gone finally

waiting for Babar's fault

 

[mominsaigol]

Thank you Abdullah

 

[Greenstorm]

Good decision to send Usman.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Usman walks in as the concussion sub... I think he should have already been playing this game

 

[iRfaN_LA]

this is what happens when you take timid approach to batting. Guy is mentally weak. Sucked the blood out of innings for his own numbers and got out

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a shambolic innings from Shafique.

This is just a very sad & depressing team.

 

[followed]

Hahah the way this hack Usman deals with short ball is comical.
Pakistan team is full of comedy.
Jokers.

 

[BouncerGuy]

What a shambolic innings from Shafique.

Na bro... He is stylish... focus there...forget his knock.

 

[mango_bite77]

Abdullah needs to go back to domestic and get some shots under his belt. Right now he just good for defending anything coming at him. Can't think of any scoring shot he has.

 

[honey29695]

Saim and Fakhar to open in ODI world cup next time
No more imam and Abdullah

 

[followed]

Usman hack is gonna bury them today. LOL.
Even tailenders can bat better against short ball than this hack.

 

[mango_bite77]

Usman Khan the most unpleasing batter to watch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pak batters against short ball....pure comedy

 

[mango_bite77]

Saim and Fakhar to open in ODI world cup next time

Yes, with some youngster as backup opener.

I would bring another fast bowler now and bowl short ball after short ball to Usman big teeth hack.
