New Zealand (292/8) defeat Pakistan (208) by 84 runs in the second ODI to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series

[msb314]

Every single bowler from our country is total and utter garbage

 

[saabir]

Poor bowling by pakistan in the death.. can't blame Waseem much he is playing his first game of the tour. It's actually a very raw pace attack. Only Harris is experienced. Akif and Sufiyan are new comers while Wasim and Faheem making comeback. Overall looks lot better bowling unit than previous matches. Problem is only Faheem knows how to hold the bat. All others are tailenders. Akif, Sufiyaan both are number 11 batsman while Haris no. 10. They are already one batsman short. Problem with pakistan is their new bowlers don't know how to hold the bat . Look at Abrar and now Sufiyaan they all looks no. 11

 

[Rana]

O rourke and Duffy are going to make life hell on here I think

 

[mominsaigol]

O rourke and Duffy are going to make life hell on here I think

This batting lineup is giving me 1990 vibes

 

[Rana]

Wasim JR 8 overs 2-43

Then 10 overs 2-78

2 overs for 35 runs against the tail

 

[Rana]

Shukr karo Abbas 40th over main out ho gaya

I think Pakistan saved 50 runs there at least

 

[Rana]

Imam and Abdullah will make sure the required rate goes go 6s very soon. And then it will start to Sky rocket

 

[mominsaigol]

Shukr karo Abbas 40th over main out ho gaya

I think Pakistan saved 50 runs there at least

He shouldn't have gone for Sufiyan but honestly I'm really impressed by him.

Technique wise he's better then our entire current dug out.

Only agha is a better batter then he is atm but that's due to experience and not due to raw talent and technique. Abass will defo surpass Agha sooner or later

 

[Nasty Naz]

Honestly expecting some sort of Pakistan collapse in this chase too. Team just seems so mentally shot and low on confidence.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need a ton from Immy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oh today they have an extra seamer too. Sears. Abbas bowled well last match. That is 50 overs of pace. Duffy, Smith, Sears, O ROurke, Abbas. Plus Bracewell.

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[mominsaigol]

Abdullah is honestly one of the worst openers I've ever seen

 

[Mohraheem]

Test match… looks like Misbah is watching this match lop

 

[cricfan432]

Best player of fast bowling gone

 

[Rana]

pitch has flattened out apparently

 

[Savak]

Pakistani bowlers have conceeded too many runs on this wicket yet again which is offering plenty of bounce and seam. This has been an absolute horror series for the bowlers. Not a single game on this tour where we can say the bowlers as a whole have had a good game.

Aqib Javed and Azhar Mahmood both need to be shown the door. The bowlers have been absolute dog **** under their reign.

 

[Vikram1989]

Babar, the goat got slaughtered

 

[Rana]

Gone

Ho gayi pitch flat?

 

[mominsaigol]

Beautiful, Babar now emulating Abdullah who is emulating Babar

 

[Savak]

Terrible overs by Wasim JR at the end.

He might have gone for 40 in his last 3 overs

His slinging action makes his line length very predictable. A good hitter can easily line him up.

 

[daytrader]

Soft dismissal. That's the game

 

[cricfan432]

I thought Rizwan was bowling captain, from 180-5 to 290.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rizchrist will win the match for Pakistan

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol Babar. At least he gets out now instead of making some useless match losing fifty.

What a horror show it is to watch this team nowadays. It was a nice couple of months when Saim started carrying the team but its been all downhill since his injury.

 

[Savak]

But but Babar would have made a difference to this team in the T20 series.

 

[Rana]

Chanderpaul of Pakistan at the crease

 

[giri26]

Beautiful, Babar now emulating Abdullah who is emulating Babar

A vicious cycle indeed lol.

 

[Rana]

Solid by Chanderpaul

 

[jnaveen1980]

But but Babar would have made a difference to this team in the T20 series.

I can already predict how this will be played out on social media if Pakistan loses from here. " If Babar fails Pakistan has chance. They still depend on him"

 

[cricfan432]

I hope now people will start respecting Hassan Nawaz and Haris.

 

[Nasty Naz]

The lowest run scored by NZ top seven batsmen were 17 runs by the way while we've had two already out for 1 run each.

The quality of batting & bowling are just so bad.

 

[Vikram1989]

In this series, 39 dismissals for pak batsmen against pace.mostly on 5th stump line.

 

[Savak]

lol Babar. At least he gets out now instead of making some useless match losing fifty.

What a horror show it is to watch this team nowadays. It was a nice couple of months when Saim started carrying the team but its been all downhill since his injury.

Saim would have struggled on these pitches against these NZ bowlers. NZ team has been absolutely ruthless with their pitches and bowling attack. It's been absolutely perfect against this Pakistani team with pace, bounce, swing, seam. I don't think I have ever seen any Pakistani team been tortured this badly on a NZ tour before. To make it worse, our bowlers have been absolutely pathetic

 

[Rana]

Rr soon to become 7 per over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Salman is a form batsman. Why is Rizwan coming ahead of him?

 

[mominsaigol]

Chanderpaul of Pakistan at the crease

According to @Local.Dada Rizwan is actually a better whiteball player then Chanderpaul.

I don't rate Chanderpaul, I view him as a stat padder in whiteball and a terrific test player but rizwan > Chanderpaul has to be one of the worst takes I've ever seen

Chanderpaul was literally the perfect partner for lara lol.

 

[Savak]

For future series in NZ I hope the PCB has the sense to send the team atleast a month to acclimatize to the conditions.

 

[Rana]

Rourke around the wicket will get Imam

 

[Rana]

Imam just gives me Pakistan women’s team vibes.

They have a few players who just have that Imam ul Haq about them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

For future series in NZ I hope the PCB has the sense to send the team atleast a month to acclimatize to the conditions.

Pakistan has played 22 T20s and 9 ODIs in the last 10 years most LOI matches by any team.

Last 10 year LOI matches in NZ against NZ

Pakistan 31
Bangladesh 23
Srilanka 22
India 21
Australia 15
England 12
West Indies 9
South Africa 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will they beat the 22 runs in 10 over record?

 

[cricfan432]

Saim would have struggled on these pitches against these NZ bowlers. NZ team has been absolutely ruthless with their pitches and bowling attack. It's been absolutely perfect against this Pakistani team with pace, bounce, swing, seam. I don't think I have ever seen any Pakistani team been tortured this badly on a NZ tour before.

Saim bore the same conditions in Australia , see off the new ball then hit.

 

[Rana]

Return of the Imam

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imam just gives me Pakistan women’s team vibes.

They have a few players who just have that Imam ul Haq about them.

Talking about woman's cricket WHy is Sana mir not here in the commentary box lol

 

[Vikram1989]

King of soft runs runs departs

 

[hafizexpress]

They don't have any intent whatsoever to score. What a disgrace to cricket in 2025.

 

[Rana]

Talking about woman's cricket WHy is Sana mir not here in the commentary box lol

Kiwis this time have decided to make sure every word in the commentary and presentation is delivered in the time frame allowed.

Sana Mir’s English is like Rizwan’s bowling captaincy. They both have no regards for time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is decking away non stop. Happened in the first innings too.

 

[hafizexpress]

This will be over before over 23. They cannot handle 4 pacers on this pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ could have declared at 132/5 at this rate lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

This will be over before over 23. They cannot handle 4 pacers on this pitch

Abbas bowls at 130 kph and he swings. That is 5 seamers.

 

[Ahmed216]

43 all out in danger

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Agha goes game over

 

[giri26]

This is the NZ team which is at least missing two of their main bowlers. Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson. They are also missing Ferguson but he has been out for a while. Imagine Henry bowling on these wickets to Pakistan batters.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Salman comes at 9/3. Shouldn't he have come at 4?

 

[Rana]

I think Rizwan is saving Duffy and Rourke to cash in later

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the NZ team which is at least missing two of their main bowlers. Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson. They are also missing Ferguson but he has been out for a while. Imagine Henry bowling on these wickets to Pakistan batters.

Henry's record on this ground is crazy. Averaging 15 with an economy rate of 4.

Most exciting cricketing nation

 

[Ahmed216]

Terrible terrible technique they all have

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow o rourke 4 overs 5 runs 1 wicket.

 

[hafizexpress]

Man this is some great test match length swing bowling. Nearly unplayable

 

[jnaveen1980]

Man this is some great test match length swing bowling. Nearly unplayable

They have 3 slips in 8th over

 

[mominsaigol]

1) Imam
2) Abdullah
3) Babar
4) Rizwan
5) Agha
6) Tayyab
7) Faheem

^^ This has to be the the worst batting lineup Pakistan has ever had in odi, even worse then 2023

 

[hafizexpress]

What's the name of this white physio who's been so loyal to the team? I've seen him for quite some time

 

[hafizexpress]

1) Imam
2) Abdullah
3) Babar
4) Rizwan
5) Agha
6) Tayyab
7) Faheem

^^ This has to be the the worst batting lineup Pakistan has ever had in odi, even worse then 2023

2023 would just have Ifti, Nawaz and Shadab in place of Agha, Tayyab, and Faheem? Unless Fakhar is in, the 2023 team isn't that much better than right now

 

[cricfan432]

Cant accelerate on flat pitches, cant bat on green pitches. Its time to give youngsters a go, atleast they can use flat pitches. Naya maal laao

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is definitely saving O’Rourke for a 15 run over when the team needs it

 

[jnaveen1980]

In the last 10 years Mohammad Hafeez has scored more runs in NZ against NZ than Babar Azam

 

[Rana]

Proper bounce Billo

 

[Ahmed216]

Break dance

 

[mominsaigol]

2023 would just have Ifti, Nawaz and Shadab in place of Agha, Tayyab, and Faheem? Unless Fakhar is in, the 2023 team isn't that much better than right now

2023 team in later stages was better granted Pakistan was pretty much eliminated by that point. It was

1) Fakhar
2) Abdullah
3) Babar
4) Rizwan
5) Agha( they dropped saud eventually)
6) Chacha
7) Shadab
8) Nawaz

^^ Still better due to fakhar, Agha, Shadab(who granted sucks can still somewhat tonk) and nawaz sucks as well but still added batting depth at 8.

 

[mominsaigol]

Proper bounce Billo

When Abass was batting slow, I knew the pitch was tough. A batter who scores 50 of 24 in one game doesn't just score 30 of 60 on the next game for giggles.

It's so sad to think that we've regressed to the point that we're looking back at Shadab-Ifti-Nawaz being the better days. What a sad state of affairs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan needed 281 runs in 40 overs last match - They had 10 wickets
Pakistan needs 265 runs in 40 overs this match - They have 7 wickets 1 batsman less

ALmost parity now. And NZ has an extra seamer

 

[hafizexpress]

He looks like a tailender out there. I can see Wasim batting the exact same way

 

[Rana]

5 off 20 chasing 300

This guy was using his pr to highlight his 100 in the Peshawar club league

 

[Rana]

What is this joke at number 4?

 

[Ahmed216]

Overcast bi hai. Extremely tough conditions

 

[charlie007]

Rizwan has no technique and acts too much … kabhi real kabhi drama never ends! He’s moving more than the ball is.
