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

[Nasty Naz]

OMG another run out but unfortunately missed.

NZ with suicidal batting right here.

[Seen Sheen]

Bowl a couple of overs of seam, Bracewell is not a top order batsman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ in panic mode

 

[Rana]

Kiwis struggling now

 

[jnaveen1980]

With that field set Sweep is such an unproductive shot.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good bye Bracewell, you are not as good as you pretend.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Bring Hasnain on! He is very good with his length bowling and you can afford to bowl that for a few overs.

 

[Rana]

Last real partnership

Then it’s the tail

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Let's go finish it please

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan will win it 90%. 100 runs is a very very long away.

 

[PakPremi]

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

He has been good in all three games bar few balls. Also this is his debut series.

 

[Zues]

Rizwan doing a good job guiding the spinners from behind the stumps.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ will struggle in the world cup. On Indian pitches NZ might struggle against Afghanistan spin attack.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Now Nawaz has to step up! His record against Phillips is really good, need to make it count.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't understand this reverse tap. EIther you play full blooded reverse or play conventional sweep.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

These 2 out otherwise they will ease home

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hasnain takes an eternity to pick up and throw the ball. He really is amongst the worst fielders and that is one of the reasons he doesn't play as frequently I think.

 

[Kianig89]

Toe to toe this series is fought

 

[Seen Sheen]

Too bad, that was his worst (and perhaps the only bad) delivery of the spell.

 

[Rana]

Decent spell that

MOtM if Pak wins

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Game running away. Need to break this partnership

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Last 2 games ball has spun more under lights. Usually it skids on better. Not sure how it's gripping more at night. Must be bone dry conditions with no dew whatsoever.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Looks like Pakistan only chance of winning is bowling them out. NZ still playing quick despite losing wickets.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Unbelievably poor bowling from Nawaz, his tripe has cost the team here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The ferocity of his hits is scary

 

[Kianig89]

Time for Rauf to show his worth

 

[Omer2002]

Last real partnership

Then it’s the tail

They dont have a tail.

 

[JibranAnsari]

phillip has unreal power

 

[Savak]

Nawaz as usual bottling it under pressure. Players should eventually be picked on how well they do under pressure and Nawaz has lost Pakistan more games under pressure

 

[Seen Sheen]

Looks like Pakistan only chance of winning is bowling them out. NZ still playing quick despite losing wickets.

They are not doing anything out of the ordinary, they are just treating the rubbish the way it should be.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Danger man Philips.

 

[Ahmed216]

Kiwis struggling now

But u said they're going to cruise to victory

 

[JibranAnsari]

wasim gets latham

 

[NeVerMind]

Jnr gets Latham!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nawaz is garbage under pressure

Plastic all rounder melting when heat is turned up

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like Pakistan only chance of winning is bowling them out. NZ still playing quick despite losing wickets.

This was NZ's match to lose half an hour back. Suddenly they committed harakiri

 

[PakPremi]

Hasnain takes an eternity to pick up and throw the ball. He really is amongst the worst fielders and that is one of the reasons he doesn't play as frequently I think.

He needs to improve his fielding.

 

[Kianig89]

Another series defeat looming....Babar and his awful captaincy P 36 W 8 D 2 L 26 terrible

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nawaz as usual bottling it under pressure. Players should eventually be picked on how well they do under pressure and Nawaz has lost Pakistan more games under pressure

Plastic all rounder with zero ability under pressure

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[JibranAnsari]

santner at number 8. NZ batting has depth.

 

[Rana]

Don’t bottle this please Pakistan

 

[Nasty Naz]

This is why Wasim Jr is a main stay in Pakistan's white ball. Consistently finds ways to gets wickets and he caused a massive runout earlier in the game too.

Pakistan favourites to win if they can get Phillips out.

 

[Ahmed216]

Both spinners have been disappointing. 280 was always a good score for these conditions

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need to start winning finals and deciders

 

[Kianig89]

Saqball should be banished forever

 

[imshally81]

Love this pitch.. Perfect for ODIs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another series defeat looming....Babar and his awful captaincy P 36 W 8 D 2 L 26 terrible

babar has won 13 lost 6
odi record

 

[jnaveen1980]

Philips has to bat like Dhoni now. Take it deep. I don't know if he has it in him.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need 1 more wicket

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Plastic all rounder with zero ability under pressure

Yes lost faith in him I'd bring back Imad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

phillips is dangernaak

 

[Amjid Javed]

Knowing how dumb babar is he will probably carry on bowling nawaz

 

[Kianig89]

Go green go 2:

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan bottling this

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need Phillip's wkt otherwise nz winning it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is not a natural diver is he?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Oh my god, nearly a catch & the game. Just a bit too far for Babar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr no problem
nz needs to take it easy

 

[Rana]

What a match!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar pathetic fielder.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't think Philips wants to bat like DHoni by the look of it. Taking chances too early even when RR is under control.

 

[PakPremi]

This is why Wasim Jr is a main stay in Pakistan's white ball. Consistently finds ways to gets wickets and he caused a massive runout earlier in the game too.

Pakistan favourites to win if they can get Phillips out.

Can also contribute when not paddling around.

 

[imshally81]

Need some dots ball and wicket will come automatically

 

[Seen Sheen]

Phillips is throwing his bat at everything, don't think he will last long with this approach.

 

[Ahmed216]

What a shot

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wonder if Babar goes with both pacers now? Not much spin out there anymore.

Best bet is Wasim Jr, Rauf & Hasnain can blow them away with pace.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rauf has been unimpressive this series

 

[Rana]

Yeh Jinn kahaa se aa gaya

 

[Justcrazy]

Wickets is what Pakistan needs here

 

[Abdullah]

Nawa should have bowled to Phillips while runs were over 60

 

[PakPremi]

Babar not showing faoth in Hasnain

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Glenn Phillips

wow..what a six

 

[Abdullah]

Yeh Jinn kahaa se aa gaya

This is what we miss in our team in positions 6-8 like I was saying to you earlier.
That's all. Otherwise we have a decent team

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't understand approach of NZ

 

[Sunny_majoka]

GP is doing an inzamam here

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is what we miss in our team in positions 6-8 like I was saying to you earlier.
That's all. Otherwise we have a decent team

Yep power

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nawa should have bowled to Phillips while runs were over 60

Thanks but no thanks, he bowled terrible come back over and he is the one who allowed Phillips to get away with that pathetic long hop.

 

[JibranAnsari]

husnain is not a finished product and from the look of things looks like he will never be.
