New Zealand (281/8) defeat Pakistan (280/9) to win the 3rd ODI by 2 wickets - Take the series 2-1

[Adi_62945]

What's wrong with Haris Rauf? He looks lethargic in the field and his spell with the new ball was also very subdued.

He is a china copy of aqib javed who himself was massively underachieved cricketer

 

[Markhor]

Conway is such a versatile batsman. Can play pace/spin equally well. Can up the ante big time if needed. He can also milk runs. GOod on both sides. Can play unorthodox shots.

Excellent player. Was very impressed with his double ton on Test debut at Lord's, and he looks at home in white ball formats too. South Africa's loss, New Zealand's gain.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gifted his wicket Conway.

 

[Markhor]

Poor dismissal from Conway looking well set. That's the opening for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Nice catch by the vice captain

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not a great by Conway.

 

[Abdullah]

Agha is cementing himself as the 6th bowling option. Seems to have a decent head on his shoulders as well

 

[Mean&Green]

Not a great by Conway.

Should have been out lbw long time anyways

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mitchell weak against spin.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Get pace on from the other end, Williamson looks comfortable against spin now.

 

[Mean&Green]

Shan not dropping that is a good sign

 

[PakPremi]

Considering both formats Agha has been the only positive this series. Another player quite maligned here not long ago.

To be honest, he has bowled the best amongst the three spinners. Far better control of line and length than the much experienced Nawaz.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Usama will be pulverized by team like England. Bowls a lot of half trackers.

 

[PakPremi]

Mitchell weak against spin.

Good job Latham is not batting other end against spinners

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bhai get a slip in against the new gut at least .

 

[Ahmed216]

Back in it

 

[Seen Sheen]

This Usama will be pulverized by team like England. Bowls a lot of half trackers.

Hardly bowled any in the first two games. Don't base your judgement on the basis of one game. Also, leg spinners are bound to bowl one half way down every now and then.

 

[Abdullah]

Nawaz needs to come back on

 

[jnaveen1980]

Based on his landing consistency i am saying.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mitchell doesn't defend spin well. SO he will go for his release shots. There in lies chance for Pakistan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Really? Salman is still going to bowl here with 2 right handed batsmen on? Should be Nawaz and then saving Salman until a lefty is on.

Just because he took a wicket doesn't mean you keep him on. You use your bowlers to their strengths and work to get the right matchups.

He is threatening right handers as well

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ may or may not win. But this is in direct contrast with Babar/Riz partnership

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZ may or may not win. But this is in direct contrast with Babar/Riz partnership

on a way better pitch

 

[Seen Sheen]

NZ may or may not win. But this is in direct contrast with Babar/Riz partnership

That partnership was poor but the ball was spinning WAY MORE than it is on this pitch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

where will Asia cup be played? uae or india?

 

[Rana]

Good battle this

Pakistan building solid pressure

 

[Nasty Naz]

Both of the batsmen seem comfortable with spin right now. I think they just bring back Rauf to see if he can make something happen.

 

[JibranAnsari]

oh that must have hurt

 

[PakPremi]

Longer Williamson stays in better for Pakistan

 

[Kroll]

Even stevens, could go to the wire unless something dramatic happens.

 

[Rana]

Latham and Phillips both due runs as well

This is an absolute road

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan last won an odi series against nz in 2011.

 

[Mainul]

I m very disappointed to see usama. Saw him first time. How he can get chance in team like Pakistan?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Haris pace has been droped, not 100%?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn. He didn't even time it. Ball sailed over long off

 

[JibranAnsari]

nawaz is pakistans only hope

 

[jnaveen1980]

That partnership was poor but the ball was spinning WAY MORE than it is on this pitch.

Babar has been consistently struggling against bracewell regardles of the surface.

 

[Abdullah]

Nawaz bowling filth. Not one ball pitching just outside off stump line. Everything being shoved through

 

[Abdullah]

Need a wicket in next few overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar has been consistently struggling against bracewell regardles of the surface.

he has struggled against googlies and lately incoming deliveries from both offies and quick bowlers

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nawaz bowling filth. Not one ball pitching just outside off stump line. Everything being shoved through

He is no different from Imad wasim right? Both dart into right handers right? Imad bowls these under cutter type of deliveries

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rauf bowls at 138 kph

 

[IAJ]

Kiwis favourites from here. 6 an over with wickets in hand is walk in park these days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is still a long way away. But i don't see any demons.

 

[Abdullah]

He is no different from Imad wasim right? Both dart into right handers right? Imad bowls these under cutter type of deliveries

Nawaz can spin it a bit more .

 

[Amjid Javed]

NZ coasting to an easy win here.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Nz running away with it. Babar azam Lacking ideas

 

[JibranAnsari]

missing leg i think

 

[Seen Sheen]

I think it will be umpire's call.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That won't be out for sure. It was sliding down

 

[JibranAnsari]

salman wasted a review

 

[Seen Sheen]

How come Hawk Eye had this ball spin so much?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at Rizwan lol He was going way outside the leg stump. That is a sign that it is not out. Stupid appeal stupid referral

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fault is with Rizwan. Rizwan should have told Babar that it is not out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

this is what babar lacks ,dont go down the pitch often and doesnt sweep. he needs to work on these and he will be even better.

 

[jnaveen1980]

this is what babar lacks ,dont go down the pitch often and doesnt sweep. he needs to work on these and he will be even better.

He is yet to master the art of taking on tighter lines.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rizwan in fact was telling babar it was NO but salman convinced babar

 

[Seen Sheen]

Salman again!

Terrific bowling, pin point accuracy with his lengths and his line gradually improved over the course of his spell as well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Suicidal shot. But it was on. Mitchell is not going to stop attacking once on a roll

 

[Rana]

Need more dots now

 

[jnaveen1980]

rizwan in fact was telling babar it was NO but salman convinced babar

There is not a bowler in the world who will not convince the captain for a review except may be Cummins. Probably because he is the captain.

 

[Seen Sheen]

NZ have a very long batting lineup so they are still well in front. The pitch doesn't have any demons, and Nawaz and Usama have been below par. 70 - 30 in favor of NZ.

 

[jnaveen1980]

After burning several reviews Australia established a protocol that only limited people get involve din a review. Captain/Keeper mainly then the bowler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

3.9 deg turn in first match
4.6 deg in 2nd
3.0 in 3rd.

 

[PakPremi]

NZ have such a long batting line up of wuality batsmen nd good tailenders.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Gotten easier to bat for nz. I think Babar azam expected it do be hard to

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nobody is that consistent with reverse sweep like ENgland.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Do not bowl short to Latham. Spin or pace. He will punish you.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nobody is that consistent with reverse sweep like ENgland.

amazing bat speeds and sweeps/reverse sweeps They practice them a lot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

outside off impact

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan bowlers put pressure on Babar with excessive appealing.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wasim's bullet throw got Williamson. Strongest arm in Pakistan.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Wasim has rocket arm

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is losing the match to reverse sweeps Suicidal batting. 2 run outs. one reverse sweep.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a brilliant runout. Excellent stuff from Wasim Jr.

Like Fakhar's runout, this could be the game changer.

 

[Rana]

Wasim bullet arm

 

[jnaveen1980]

Reverse sweep looks good when you evade fielders. Otherwise it looks very silly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is beating NZ. Looks like they are feeling the pressure
