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

[Ahmed216]

Sweet timer of the ball Faheem

 

[imshally81]

Rain is around the corner

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling noball at this point will be danger for NZ

 

[BouncerGuy]

How was that not a wide... Umpires are blind

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan faced 27 balls, scored 5

Faheem's faced 22 balls and already scored 17

Umm who is the parchi?

Both

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should try to hit some boundaries and six get ahead of DLS run rate

 

[imshally81]

Need Rizwan acting skills here ...but unfortunately he is already out

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Both

Let's not forget about the man in your DP

 

[jnaveen1980]

If the match is called off that noball will be the big factor

 

[imshally81]

Let's not forget about the man in your DP

He is on pure merit

 

[Ahmed216]

If the match is called off that noball will be the big factor

20 overs almost completed.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Faheem and tayyab should be looking to play till the 35th over...

 

[Rana]

20 overs done

Result gaurenteed

Learn mille ga!

 

[CerebralPatriot]

He is on pure merit

We are talking about Pakistan cricket here not the Rwanda 3rd XI

 

[mango_bite77]

Thank god didn't wakeup at 3AM to see this zalalat.

 

[mominsaigol]

Tayyab and faheem proving that while the conditons are tough, they weren't as tough as the top order was making it out to be.

These 2 are bang average medicore techinclalt flawed batters yet their somehow batting better on this pitch then our entire top order.

What does that tell you?

 

[Hellion]

How was that not a wide... Umpires are blind

Over the shoulder. Not a wide.

 

[imshally81]

We are talking about Pakistan cricket here not the Rwanda 3rd XI

Yes i know .... But unfortunately he is on pure merit....Even no one close him

 

[imshally81]

Tayyab gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL.... the downfall continues...

 

[Ahmed216]

Faheem Zulu and Mohmmad Wasim Pandya at the crease

 

[Hitman]

OUT!

72/7

 

[BouncerGuy]

and in these conditions, we let them score 290+... LOL

 

[Ahmed216]

Faheem and Sufi Muqeem finds of the tour..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Haris Rauf conceded 75 runs here

 

[BaankeJi]

Why this seemingly eternal struggle for Pakistan? Why can't they get at least 2 consistent batsmen in squad?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Be guarded in identifying positives on the tour. THe positives you have here can become negatives soon. Don't hype players until they attain consistency for 1 or 2 years.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Bowlers cant bowl,batters cant bat and u want to compete with India lol .
Pakistans test status should be scrapped now and nz should ban them from touring them until they improve.

 

[Savak]

NZ commentators rightfully taking the Pakistani bowling attack to task ie they failed to exploit the NZ bowling conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will NZ give rest to Duffy, O rourke in the next match? I won't be surprised.

 

[jamie smith fan]

faheem sobers has been our best batter today lol

 

[jamie smith fan]

Other bowlers are also gonna torment pak.
Pak cricket is utter trash.

Will NZ give rest to Duffy, O rourke in the next match? I won't be surprised.

Will NZ give rest to Duffy, O rourke in the next match? I won't be surprised.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does any pak batsmen play in BBL? You get taste of bounce there. But Australian wickets are batsmen friendly even though they have bounce. NZ has movement too.

 

[imshally81]

Saud should be in ODI squad instead of Tayyab

 

[Hellion]

Faheem the best LOI allrounder in Pakistan and it's not even close

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Faheem is 100 times the player Legwan is

 

[Ahmed216]

Great balance at the crease Rana ji. Nice steady head.
No exaggerated trigger movement.

Beautiful hit for 6 now

 

[jamie smith fan]

Not long ago bd won a test match in nz and got them out for 98 in one of the odis of the odi series.
Now look at our performance,we are not even bd level now.

 

[Sachin fan]

Usman Khan got dropped and this is what happened .

He is injured, not dropped. Hamstring

 

[jamie smith fan]

I wrote in the pre match thread that he should be opening over useless imam.
Remember he got a 90 odd in a test in nz in 2020.

Great balance at the crease Rana ji. Nice steady head.
No exaggerated trigger movement.

Beautiful hit for 6 now

 

[saabir]

Watching Faheem first time live ..he seems to be the best batsman of pakistan in these conditions.. he looks to be in different league so far. Batting very confidently. His overall record is terrible

 

[Savak]

The NZ pitches have surprised me. I don't think I have ever seen a NZ tour where the pitches have consistently had this mock pace, bounce, sideways movement along with the fact that NZ had 4 perfect tall hit the deck pacers capable to seaming the ball both ways.

 

[Mainul]

NZ won't invite Pakistan in next 3 years

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris walks off

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ won't invite Pakistan in next 3 years

You are mistaken. Pakistan is the highest invited team for LOI matches in the last 10 years followed by Bangladesh.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Akif first man to hit Orourke for a 4 today lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Light drizzle started

 

[imshally81]

Light drizzle started

What is DLS score?
Obviously asking for a friend

 

[BouncerGuy]

No need... LOL

 

[Mainul]

I m talking about the consequences of performance of Pakistan in this tour. This is literally NZ B team.

[BouncerGuy]

With Haris Injured (concussion injury), Naseem will come to bat for him now

 

[imshally81]

Why Naseem...irfan could come

 

[jamie smith fan]

What is the dls par score atm??

 

[Ahmed216]

Why Naseem...irfan could come

We are not privileged like India

 

[jamie smith fan]

Only a bowler can come in for a bowler.
Like for like replacement.

Why Naseem...irfan could come

 

[BouncerGuy]

Why Naseem...irfan could come

No...like for like replacement only so fast bowler's replacement will be a fast bowler.

Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years
I'm rockin' my peers, puttin' suckers in fear
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon!

 

[Ahmed216]

Scintillating hook shot for 6.

Faheem on fire

 

[Savak]

Faheems strong back foot ie pull hook shots has been the key factor behind why he's looked the most comfortable Pakistani batsman on this wicket

 

[IAJ]

Saved

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch is not a pacy pitch. They told at the start of the second innings. Just the bounce and movement. Movement disappeared after a while. So just the bounce albeit not at great pace. Pakistan should have been able to negotiate. But technique is poor.

A bit worrying when he is your best player here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan or all teams?

For Pakistan.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Only for pak.
Last time nz lost an odi series at home was in 2019,so they are invincibles at home.
They blanked India 3-0 also in an odi series in 2021.

Pakistan or all teams?

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is playing in a certain losing situation. So fans should just take it with a pinch of salt. historically we have seen many such lone cameos by a lower order in a losing cause.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Akif gone.
More runs than imam parchi,babro,abd and legwan combined.

Shaiby 44 off 19.

We are getting blanked by a very inexperienced NZ team, while we have quite a few of our first XI starters.

 

[jamie smith fan]

India series also had rookies like bennet,tickner,jamieson,worker,chapu,phillips,astle etc.

[Ahmed216]

173 to win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Agree. This is total bullying. It is not just the loss. It is the relentless intimidation that went on for 30 overs must be hurting Pakistan the most.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHy are they batting Naseem shah against hostile spell? He could also get hurt.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Ton for faheem sobers???
Anyone??

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ton for faheem sobers???
Anyone??

Why not..

 

[Hellion]

Rauf replaced by Naseem averaging 21 with the bat ? Like for like?

 

[mominsaigol]

Ton for faheem sobers???
Anyone??

Imagine if he wins it for pak? What a chase it'll be

 

[Fazzy321]

lets get respectable 200
