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

[Snowflake]

What a tame end

Why were all the fielders not in the circle?

Because Babar is your captain

 

[BreadPakoda]

Wide.

Pakistan you beauty

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can't blame Bobby for this. Since Jan 2004, Pakistan have won 1, drew 1 and lost 6(now 7) bilateral ODI series vs NZ.

 

[JibranAnsari]

shan congratulating them like he is a kiwi lol

 

[Mean&Green]

I really wanna cuss these umpires during our innings so many clear wides weren’t given

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fastest that I've seen

Yes definitely. Dhoni was clocking 30 kmp/hr. very close Messi's top speed which is 31 km/h. Philips is sure must be 33 km/h

 

[shah_1]

Sethi do one good thing for Pakistan cricket and sack this miserable captain.

 

[Jazx]

Rauf was the biggest let down in this match. Called death over specialist and got thrashed today by anumber 7 when thematch was in hands.

 

[indianpanacea]

Match lost purely due to babar,,'s incompetency as captain

[Markhor]

Credit to Glenn Phillips for playing an excellent finishing knock.

Feel the non-review of Devon Conway early in his innings was vital. Such a lack of game awareness from our players in crucial moments.

 

[Rana]

Game was in the bag

Guys like [MENTION=147179]Ahmed216[/MENTION] were gloating

Never celebrate early if you are a Pak fan, especially under Babar

 

[Zues]

This was a spinning wicket. Both Nawaz and Usama bowled poorly. They should have tried to spin the bowl more. Nawaz particularly bowled too fast.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fastest that I've seen

Yes definitely. Dhoni was clocking 30 kmp/hr. very close Messi's top speed which is 31 km/h. Philips is sure must be 33 km/h

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ was all but out. This was some innings. Special knock. Even with that kind of innings they finished only in 49th over. In hindsight his early acceleration helped them close out easily.

 

[Jazx]

Definitely babar needs to step down as captain. Imam could be given the captaincy and pakistan can make a fresh start under him.

 

[Mamoon]

Another home series lost. Beautiful.

 

[Ami]

Rana ji...id love to know who you actually like in Pak Team.

 

[Cric1234]

Another series loss if New Zealand batted better in the first match they could have won 3-0 Afridi and Razzaq need to show their mettle now and bring improvements to the team which is losing series at home.

 

[Cric1234]

Nothing that isn’t deserved when you play Shan Masood and make him vice captain all we can say is...


We deserve this humiliation.

 

[Blackbradman]

Who is that commentator at the presentation ceremony

 

[Rana]

Rana ji...id love to know who you actually like in Pak Team.

In this side?

Fakhar
Babar
Salman (decent player)
Sohail (disappointing but a class player)
Nawaz (bats too low)
Wasim JR (useful 3rd seamer and fielder)
Rauf (below par this series)

 

[MenInG]

Kane Williamson | New Zealand Captain- He (Phillips) wasn't feeling great either but he came out and played an incredible innings. At the halfway stage, we were in the game. We were curious how the pitch would play but it play decently. Credit to Pakistan for bowling well and for the fight they put up in the series. (On Phillips) He had one thing in mind and he hit the ball beautifully. It was one of those knocks, he came out and took us to victory. The surfaces have been really competitive, our bowlers have bowled well, we have taken wickets at the back-end. Last game it turned a lot but today it didn't turn much. A great series, a lot of good contributions together. It's absolutely great to be here. as a team, we have really enjoyed our time, on and off the field. It has a been a special experience to play in Pakistan.


Babar Azam | Pakistan Captain - We started well and it went according to plan. Agha took back to back wickets and that kept us in the game but Phillips took the game away for us. I think we were 10-15 runs short. The way Rizwan was batting was good but we had quite some soft dismissals in the middle. Spinners bowled well and kept the batters in check and we executed our plans too but Phillips took the game away from us. When your teammates perform, especially the way Zaman and Rizwan did, was really good.

 

[Mainul]

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

I don't see him being persisted for long time. Bowls boundary balls too often, doesn't turn much. Why not Yasir Shah?

[ataullah]

Urooj is naive lol She thinks saving runs will win them match. Waqar corrected her.

Haha couldn't believe that what she said

 

[BreadPakoda]

PCB is very smart with who to send for post match conference. You have Fakhar talking about how he’s personally had good results.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I don't see him being persisted for long time. Bowls boundary balls too often, doesn't turn much. Why not Yasir Shah?

I think Shadab khan will play eventually.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There was 12 overs lull from 33rd till 45th. 57 runs. Under 5 runs per over. Last 5 overs of 50 couldn't really make that up

 

[sweep_shot]

Kiwis played well.

It was a good series. But, Pakistan should've won the series.

Lost T20I series vs Australia

 

[Kroll]

Kiwis played well.

It was a good series. But, Pakistan should've won the series.

On what evidence? We are a mediocre side and deserve nothing but humiliation.

 

[PakPremi]

I don't see him being persisted for long time. Bowls boundary balls too often, doesn't turn much. Why not Yasir Shah?

Because he bowls more boundar bowl each over. Osama has tools to work with and good control tbh.

 

[Snatch]

Phillips was sick & had been vomiting so wanted to limit running between the wickets, but even a sick Phillips is faster between the wickets than anyone else in the world. Insane twitch fibres.

 

[Snatch]

It was a good series. But, Pakistan should've won the series.

What do you base that on? NZ are the no 1 ODI ranked side in the world.

 

[sweep_shot]

What do you base that on? NZ are the no 1 ODI ranked side in the world.

Pakistan are the home team. Also, NZ are no way the #1 team (no matter what the ranking says).

 

[Snatch]

Pakistan are the home team. Also, NZ are no way the #1 team (no matter what the ranking says).

They're certainly better than Pakistan though, even in SC conditions.

I'm picking NZ to make their 3rd consecutive final in the ODI WC this year, although they'll probably lose the final in a super over.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Epic humiliation for Babar and Pakistan. Home is where hurt is in case of Pakistan cricket.

 

[Firebat]

This is New Zealand's first series win in Pakistan since 1969, and first ever white-ball series win in Pakistan.

 

[Cric1234]

This is New Zealand's first series win in Pakistan since 1969, and first ever white-ball series win in Pakistan.

Babar Azam creating new records at home thank you Babar.

 

[Usergame]

What a game and what a series.
People talk about phillips hitting which is amazing but his running is just insane, fastest between the wickets I have ever seen. It's amazing to watch.

 

[Ahmed216]

Game was in the bag

Guys like [MENTION=147179]Ahmed216[/MENTION] were gloating

Never celebrate early if you are a Pak fan, especially under Babar

Never said game was in the bag. I said 280 was a good score.

 

[Mainul]

I think Shadab khan will play eventually.

Yes, I think so too.
But why not Yasir Shah if you want to play a proper leg spinner?

 

[MenInG]

At Karachi National Stadium: Pakistan 280-9 (Fakhar Zaman 101; Tim Southee 3-56) lost to the Black Caps 281-8 in 48.1 overs (Glenn Phillips 63no, Kane Williamson 53, Devon Conway 52; Agha Salman 2-42) by two wickets

Glenn Phillips had to vomit during the first innings of the Black Caps’ third one-day international against Pakistan, after falling ill and being forced from the field.

As a result, he had to drop to No 7 as they chased 281 to win at Karachi National Stadium, where he proceeded to score 63 off 42 balls to lead his side to a memorable 2-1 series win.

He entered the fray with New Zealand in the middle of collapsing from 160-2 to 206-6, a wobble that looked to have potentially derailed their hopes.

The came his onslaught, which included some devastating sixes off the back foot, as well as his trademark hard running, even though he was visibly under the weather.

Phillips was dropped by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan on 50, but finished unbeaten with his highest ODI score as the Black Caps completed their chase with two wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bat, giving his side the task of setting a target for the first time in the series.

Fakhar Zaman made 101 off 122 opening the batting before he was run out by a direct hit from substitute fielder Henry Nicholls.

Rizwan made 77 off 74 before he was bowled by an Ish Sodhi googly, breaking a partnership for the third wicket between him and Zaman worth 154.

Haris Sohail became the second batter to fall to a Nicholls direct hot for 22 off 25, while Agha Salman made 45 off 43 as Pakistan scored 49 runs in their last five overs to post 280-9.

Tim Southee finished with 3-56 from his 10 overs while Lockie Ferguson took 2-63.

Michael Bracewell was the tidiest of the spinners, taking 1-44 from his 10, while Sodhi took 1-50 from his 10 before he left the field with a leg injury – later returning to make a nine-ball duck while Phillips got New Zealand close.

Finn Allen became the third man run out in the match, for 25 off 25, but a partnership of 65 for the second wicket between Devon Conway and Kane Williamson helped the Black Caps rebuild.

Conway fell for 52 off 65 and was followed by Daryl Mitchell, who made 31 off 36 before departing off the final ball of the 31st over, top-edging a reverse sweep.

Pakistan had been 160-2 at that stage and the Black Caps were 160-3, setting up a tense finish.

As Williamson (53 off 68 before becoming the fourth run-out victim), Michael Bracewell and Tom Latham departed in quick succession and they slumped to 205-6, it looked like the chase might be beyond them.

Then came Phillips, who delivered New Zealand’s first ODI series win in Pakistan at the sixth time of trying.

With one ball to go in the 43rd over, the Black Caps still needed 35 off 43 and the match was in the balance. Leg-spinner Usama Mir sent down a quicker delivery to finish his 10th over and Phillips nicked it, only for Rizwan to spill the sharp chance. Had he held it, the result might well have gone the other way.

Best with the bat

Phillips had to come in one spot lower than usual after spending time off the field and when he arrived at the crease, the Black Caps needed 100 off 87 balls. Fuelled by his knock of 63 off 42, they got those runs in just 76 deliveries. When you throw in the fact that he was ill, it made for a special innings.

Best with the ball

Michael Bracewell deceived Babar Azam and had him stumped cheaply and was the most economical of the Black Caps’ bowlers, keeping things under control through the middle of Pakistan’s innings.

The big picture

The Black Caps have now won two away ODI series in the space of 12 months and will now look to add a third in India, however, and there is also an injury cloud over Sodhi.

Stuff NZ

 

[Savak]

Looking forward to a successful PSL tournament to put this horror home season behind us now

 

[Ahmed216]

Shan masoods appointment as a vice captain and him replacing imam has really convinced me there's no better future. Absolute mess and a disgrace our cricket

[Front Foot Pull]

leaving aside the PSL, PAK doesn't play any international cricket till april? that is too long and the schedule say it will be again nz tour of pak..lol bizarre schedule.

 

[Saj]

Game was under Pakistan's control, then complacency with the ball and some poor strategy cost them.

Phillips was excellent but they seemed to lack any plans on how to bowl to him.
