I dont think it has been worth waking up at 3;30 am to watch this crap.
I should go back to sleep now.
 
I will say one thing. Akif Javed is a decent bowler in the middle order but he's not much of a wicket taker.
 
Wow Sufiyan with the nice break through. Smart bowling. Big wicket of Mitchell.
 
sufyaan looks threatening everutime but poor pct management finds a way to bench him smehow.
mitchell gone.

Domestic wise, his best format is T20 by quite a bit and I think he can unleash his pace a bit more going maximum effort in T20's.

Just think his line/length lacks consistency in ODI's. He is still very raw though but does have the skill set to be a useful bowler.
 
Akif has brought his ER down to 6 from 12 and taken two wikuts in the space of a few overs
 
Abbas 2nd match
Kelly 2nd match
Mariu 1st match

Basically out of form Nichols, Mitchell are the only experienced specialist batsmen. I doubt they will cross 250
 
200 should be a challenge for NZ to defend

250 will be a safe-ish score

270+ should be curtains for Pakistan

I doubt they have firepower to get there. Bracewell is at best a no.7 batsman. Batting at 5 is a joke.
 
A special spell from Sufiyan here. Only bowled a couple of bad deliveries but otherwise he's been right on the money and moving it around both ways.
 
What kind of nonsense is tis from sufyaan,just 8 runs off 5 overs.
he shold be going at 10s preferably
 
Wasim gets another one. A solid comeback, good to see him back. His numbers in ODI's are pretty solid early in his career.

It looks like he hasn't lost pace from his injury or anything which is perhaps the biggest positive.
