New Zealand (299) defeat Pakistan (252) by 47 runs to win the 5th ODI - Pakistan win series 4-1

About time Pakistan got tested in a chasing situation without their top order firing.
 
one would think that a true #1 team can pull out of such a situation no problem... and we still have the guys who can save it...
 
Hope these two manage to play some overs and learn the art of batting in such circumstances when your back is to the wall. A Symonds back in the day would make the match interesting from here

This situation is actually good for Pakistan team in long term as they been too reliant on Fakha, Babar, Imam and Rizwan to take them to final line.
 
If iftikhar can do what abdul razaq did vs south africa 2010 dubai then he will be my all time favorite player
 
inshallah we win this one... these 2 get into 40 overs and 200+... game is ours..
 
Agha Salman is a better cricketer than fake athlete Shadab.

I know you do not like Shadab, like Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, but hiw is he fake athelete, even a blind hater can see he is brilliant fielder. Besides Agha is proper batsman and Shadab is bowling all rounder.
 
Agha is impressive . Remember how he played with Sarfraz in test series saved the game . He has good temperament

Shadab is the most injury prone player in the world. He is a fake athlete. His fielding is overhyped as well. He drops easy catches and does over-acting for the cameras.

A very average cricketer who isn’t half as good as he and his fans think.
 
Salman and iftikhar doing well

Imagine rizwan & babar in this situation they would definitely go in the shell and lose us the game
 
These 2 can take the game to 42-45 overs, Pak wins it no matter what the target.

Salman definitely threatening his position.
 
These two willl be crucial in India . There will be times where the likes of Fakhar will get bogged down and struggle . They play spin well.
 
Good job on a slow and low surface. NZ will still need 2 more to assure the win. Pak can still win this.
 
Pakistan depend on top order too much , they need to set up a solid middle order before WC

The middle order has got fake number 5 (or self proclaimed 4). The top order has a parchi. Good luck with odds then agains top teams.
 
I am sure these 2 still don’t feel much pressure as RRR is still under 10 - thanks to T20 cricket

Shadab has played a lot of games for Pakistan in short time, and is always putting his body diving around so not surprised he gets injured and as if you cannot see hexcellence in his fielding then that is just your personal bias. Everyone misses catches, even Fakhar missed few in Asia Cup yet he is also a very good fielder.
 
Shadab … man… he had to just support Ifti…oh well…odds tilting NZ way
 
Alright Usama…show what you are made of. Make a 50 here and book yourself for WC…come on kiddo
 
Feel like chacha might be better handling and batting together with lower order batters

If these 2 can takes the game to 45-46 overs, that will set an entertaining finish
 
As I said anyone can drop catches,NZ have dropped quite a few this series but would not call them poor fielding team.
 
This is Milne’s last over before the 48th over. One 6 is enough. Slow down boy
 
Iftikhar can still win it, but he needs to keep a calm head and not bottle it.
