[Rana]

Need Phillips out asap

 

[Kianig89]

Phillips Boom Boom

 

[Nasty Naz]

Edge of your seat stuff right here. What a great game tonight.

 

[Kianig89]

Babar already getting wet Phillips SR@170+

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wasim is the likeliest to get rid of Phillips with his slight reverse swing.

 

[Kianig89]

I wonder does the Vice captain has any answer to this riddle)

 

[Abdullah]

We need a wicket

 

[Saj]

NZ very much in this despite being 6 down.

Phillips is exactly the sort of player Pakistan lacks.

 

[IMMY69]

I have kiwis as sight favourites
60/40

 

[JibranAnsari]

phillips murdering pakistan bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

Phillips is motoring along here

 

[Abdullah]

Need nawaz to bowl to him right now whilst there are runs in the bank

 

[IMMY69]

Its now 70/30 in favour of the Kiwis

 

[JibranAnsari]

nz will get there in 46th over

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Phillips will finish this game.

 

[Kianig89]

Heckle & Jackal, Humpty Dumty, Griffin & Homer , Saqi & Moyo

 

[boomboomcheema]

Non stop Sixes..what is this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have a feeling PHilips wil get out at a critical time. They don't have to take chances. They can do with singles. But philips is a modern day cricketer. He will go for it.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pakistani bowlers and slow balls

 

[Kianig89]

Phillips just light up Babar here

 

[IMMY69]

80/20 in favour of Kiwis

 

[Seen Sheen]

Even if he gets out now, he has brought it down so much that even Sodhi, Southee can knock it off.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Non stop Sixes..what is this.

real batting

 

[Savak]

Phillips is mixing slogs with intelligent cricketing shots.

 

[Suleiman]

Glenn Phillips doing the dash. Will Babar hold his nerve or are we letting another heist happen in a chase?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both seamers bowling hit me balls here

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan in panic mode

 

[Omer2002]

Non stop Sixes..what is this.

This is cricket not tuk tuk...my day 1 prediction on 2 1 defeat was always going to be right. Slight nonsenae run outs from kiwis gave us a sniff

 

[JibranAnsari]

they cant even get santner on strike.poor captaincy.

 

[Ahmed216]

Special knock.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Phillips making it look so easy. It's T20 batting right here and its looking like he'll end this by the 45th over.

 

[Kianig89]

Spare a thought for Fakhar

 

[boomboomcheema]

Run rate easy below 6 now. Don't see any hopes.

 

[Savak]

Babar should have bowled Usama's final over. He could have gotten Phillips out. Poor captaincy yet again

 

[Amjid Javed]

Intelligent batting from GP, atleast 1 boundary an over

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack wicket taking options here , and it is exposed now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Our batting exposed. 320 pitch this.

 

[Kianig89]

NZ 3x10⁸ m/s² ahead of Pakistan in personnel

 

[Seen Sheen]

No venom whatsoever in Rauf's bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

i think haris rauf may lose his place in the side before wc .Not the bowler for these pitches.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan lack wicket taking options here , and it is exposed now.

Captains create Wicket taking opportunities with tactics and field placings and bowling plans. It is Babar who doesn't have a brain and is exposed yet again as usual.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is invaluable to have somelnie like PHilips down the order. Playing the CDG role. He may not click every match. But when he clicks watch out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Phillips is a gun player , he can bat , bowl , and keep !

 

[Kianig89]

Tbh NZ were coasting just a small hiccup in between meanwhile Rauf also passenged whole series

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar dropped the game with that catch earlier.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Easy running doubles

 

[JibranAnsari]

Phillips is a gun player , he can bat , bowl , and keep !

can fly as well

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No venom whatsoever in Rauf's bowling.

Been overrated for ages. If he can't bowl 150s he's worthless.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan will win the 2nd leg hopefully

 

[JibranAnsari]

this is babars last odi as captain

 

[IMMY69]

90/10 in favour of Kiwis.
Will need to bowl Kiwis out and its not looking likely at this stage and they just need to milk the spinners..risk free cricket.

 

[Kianig89]

A cesspool it is PCB

 

[Amjid Javed]

NZ have Philips at 7, Pakistan has plastic fake china copy all-rounder nawaz. Huge difference

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Glenn Phillips destroyed it

 

[Kianig89]

Last game for Saqi Moyo IA

 

[JibranAnsari]

dropped

 

[Amjid Javed]

90/10 in favour of Kiwis.
Will need to bowl Kiwis out and its not looking likely at this stage and they just need to milk the spinners..risk free cricket.

99.99 / 0.01 in kiwis favour

 

[boomboomcheema]

50 in just 28 balls.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan drops the game I recon

 

[Saj]

What an innings by Phillips.

Changed the course of the match.

 

[Seen Sheen]

God! Dropped by Rizwan.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

dropped

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Catch droped?

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan you pathetic garbage Kamran level keeper

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan will look back and see 40-45 overs batting is where they lost the game. They were playing so incredibly slow just because new batsmen were in and what could have been 300+ runs ended up being 280.

 

[Seen Sheen]

And then he tries to play it down as if nothing happened.

 

[Asif321]

Drop from rizzy

 

[IMMY69]

99.99 / 0.01 in kiwis favour

Pretty much.
But there is always that 5pct chance of picking up wickets.
so 95/5

 

[Blackbradman]

Costly drop

 

[Nasty Naz]

Tough one but man, Pakistan needed that catch so badly. Catch & likely the game dropped.

 

[Abdullah]

Needs to get the field up and buy a wicket

 

[Rana]

Anything slightly short is out of the park

 

[Seen Sheen]

Don't need those runs if you drop crucial catches!

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan need to give chances to azam khan in t20s and odis. you need batsmen who can hit long. pakistan should have scored 300 plus today

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan drops a straight catch

 

[Blackbradman]

Philips is so quick

 

[Amjid Javed]

What an innings by Phillips.

Changed the course of the match.

You need players like this at 6 and 7 in ODIs. Pakistan tail starts at 7 with nawaz

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ is the fastest runner between the wickets in the world

 

[boomboomcheema]

Mistakes can happen unfortunately.

 

[Savak]

Babar allowing easy singles and doubles. But But he should retain the white ball captaincy.
