New Zealand (330/6) defeat Pakistan (252/9) comfortably by 78 runs in the first match of the Tri-Nation ODI series 2025

[Nasty Naz]

Well this game is over.

Great innings from Fakhar but not much else to be positive about. Rest of the team simply didn't show up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now that Fakhar is gone this could be shellacking if one more wicket falls

 

[NeVerMind]

All set for Happy Heart to make the biggest comeback of all time!

 

[PakPremi]

If he wasn't so clueless, he could have signaled to the umpire that he knocked it and then the 3rd umpire would have taken it into account and ruled in his favour.

This has happened plenty of times in cricket where the 3rd umpire just listens to what the batter said or signaled.

Problem is this clueless goof didn't even know he knicked it. He just reviewed cause he thinks the imaginary wickets aren't behind him.

With due respect atm with above comments it's you who appears clueless, the ball clearly missed the bat and Rizwan was right to have it checked as the ball turn made it out, otherwise it would had missed leg stumps..

 

[mominsaigol]

fakhar gone but did his job

But no one else is doing their job, everyone would be bundled out for less then a 100 if not for fakhar lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan can take revenge in the final. SA will lose both matches.

 

[shaz619]

Shut up Sana Mir

Everyone has to bat! She’s telling Kamran not to try hard and just bring Fakhar back on strike

Sana Mir ?

Ah, one hell of a cook !

 

[zaidihusain]

Not playing Saud is a big mistake. Not sure why KG is in good books instead of Saud

 

[Devadwal]

This is repeat of Asia cup 2023 . before that Pakistan becomes number one in ODI ranking After beating 2nd string team's .

Same happened before the tri series. They had won series in australia and South Africa after beating 2nd strings team's but Pakistan fans hype them too much based on those win.

Now getting the reality check when team's are taking ODI seriously due to champion trophy.

 

[Ahmed216]

And we dont have spinners in the CT squad

 

[mominsaigol]

With due respect atm with above comments it's you who appears clueless, the ball clearly missed the bat and Rizwan was right to have it checked as the ball turn made it out, otherwise it would had missed leg stumps..

With all due respect you are clueless?

What kind of respect is that?

 

[Rana]

Glenn Phillips and Santner showing Pakistan today why they were not in the PSL draft

A country which has Babar and Rizwan as platinum players

 

[shaz619]

Ai hai Molvi Saab Kiyah huah?

- Great Kuptaincy & Batting today

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should've sent Khushdil in to maintain left-right combination ?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is spinners delight i must say. TOo slow. If you slow it up it is even harder to score against.

 

[Rana]

With due respect atm with above comments it's you who appears clueless, the ball clearly missed the bat and Rizwan was right to have it checked as the ball turn made it out, otherwise it would had missed leg stumps..

Be quiet

The chawwal didn’t even consult his partner. Who does he think he is?

 

[msb314]

Why don’t our batsman try to sweep?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

forget about winning any games with this middle order. We will struggle against BD also. in Australia, it was Saim ayub who won us the games

 

[PakPremi]

On pitches where spin will do well Pakistan has opted for only one spinner. In the squad.

 

[Ali Active]

lets see what these 2 are capable

 

[mominsaigol]

Be quiet

The chawwal didn’t even consult his partner. Who does he think he is?

Yeah imagine critising me for claiming it knocked based of what i saw in snicko

But claiming rizwan was right to take a decision because he thought it was going down leg

 

[PakPremi]

Be quiet

The chawwal didn’t even consult his partner. Who does he think he is?

Who the hell are u to tell me to be quiet, I would not keep crying.

 

[Ali Active]

Saim got injured at wrong time
it would have been dream opening team of fakhar and saim

 

[Rana]

Who the hell are u to tell me to be quiet, I would not keep crying.

I am a sincere fan of Pakistan cricket who wants nonsense people like you to be quite so our cricket can be restored. That’s the right I hold to tell you to be quiet!

Again

BE QUEITE!

 

[PakPremi]

Yeah imagine critising me for claiming it knocked based of what i saw in snicko

But claiming rizwan was right to take a decision because he thought it was going down leg

Distortions on snicko is not always bat especially when there is a clear gap.

 

[Devadwal]

Should've sent Khushdil in to maintain left-right combination ?

Pakistan needs to score fast so Shaheen is not a bad options considering he was batting at 5 or 6 in the PSL .

 

[PakPremi]

I am a sincere fan of Pakistan cricket who wants nonsense people like you to be quite so our cricket can be restored. That’s the right I hold to tell you to be quiet!

Again

BE QUEITE!

I will not keep crying.

 

[Justcrazy]

And we dont have spinners in the CT squad

I already said Pakistan need pool of 4 to 6 conventional spinners , to rotate across formats

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warrican, Sinclair, Bracewell, Santner, Philips.

 

[mominsaigol]

Distortions on snuxko is not always bat especially when there is a clear gap.

Theirs not a clear gap, i saw what I saw.

Anyway I don't get what you're trying to even say?

Are you claiming I'm wrong but somehow rizwan is right for taking a review?

If it missed them why did he even take a review? For what?

 

[Rana]

They need to bring Sajid in for Babar in the CT squad

 

[msb314]

Sweep or go over the top

 

[PakPremi]

Theirs not a clear gap, i saw what I saw.

Anyway I don't get what you're trying to even say?

Are you claiming I'm wrong but somehow rizwan is right for taking a review?

If it missed them why did he even take a review? For what?

For missing leg.

 

[Rana]

Just waiting for Khushdil’s batting

 

[Justcrazy]

Babbar even after playing so long does not have third gear in his batting

 

[jnaveen1980]

86 dots in 27 overs That is 14.2 overs of maiden.

 

[kingusama92]

This is some of the most brutal middle-order batting I've ever seen.

 

[Justcrazy]

For missing leg.

He may play a 20 20 type of slog

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tests, ODI - don't matter format. Our batsmen are clueless vs spin

 

[msb314]

Theirs not a clear gap, i saw what I saw.

Anyway I don't get what you're trying to even say?

Are you claiming I'm wrong but somehow rizwan is right for taking a review?

If it missed them why did he even take a review? For what?

I’m pretty sure he took the review because he thought there was a chance ball pitched outside leg

 

[Omer2002]

Pakistan can take revenge in the final. SA will lose both matches.

Saffers will not lose to us

 

[Greenstorm]

Haven't seen a single sweep by our lot.

 

[Justcrazy]

86 dots in 27 overs That is 14.2 overs of maiden.

This is not new issue , lack of strike rotation has been hurting Pakistan since 1980

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have packed OD team with 20 20 players

 

[jnaveen1980]

And we dont have spinners in the CT squad

If PCB implements Shan Masood's idea Pakistan will have 20 spinners in no time. Make all the pitches with fans and heaters in domestic.

 

[Devadwal]

Another maiden over by santner.

@Nikhil_cric we need to find the Right strategy to nullified Santner threat in the champion trophy.

Fakhar was playing him nicely but rest batsman are looking clueless.

 

[Asif321]

Tahir should be batting ahead of Agha but they won’t let him

 

[Rana]

Pakistan have packed OD team with 20 20 players

Hain?

Who’s a T20 player in this side?

 

[Greenstorm]

Finally !

 

[ExpressPacer]

Just waiting for Khushdil’s batting

He is as pathetic as they come.

 

[Ahmed216]

Tayyab and Saud are must for remainder of the series. Best players of spin in this squad

 

[Greenstorm]

Tahir should be batting ahead of Agha but they won’t let him

Tayyab shouldn't even be in the team. He brings nothing new. Just another accumulator.

 

[Rana]

He is as pathetic as they come.

Lekin aik ronak tou hai na?

We need the scapegoat to fail to blame it all on him

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan has problem . Pacers won’t get much help in these conditions unlike Australia and SA , so you need atleast 2 specialist spinner here. Muqeem should have there as surprise factor .

 

[adi_62941]

NZ is a brilliant looking team. Captaincy of santner has really impressed me. He is a good and sensible captain.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This game is as good as gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis were 139 for 4 at this stage.

 

[PakPremi]

Even Tayyib, who has been brought in for slog overs, is more assured batsman than Kamran. For 3rd position Saud would be ideal.

 

[Rana]

Kiwis were 139 for 4 at this stage.

Set up perfectly for our Glenn Khushdil

 

[Omer2002]

Great net practice by agha

 

[Rana]

Step 1 in these drastic times:

Go back to Fakhar-Imam-Babar as your top 3.

It’s probably the only suggestion that might hit with the people of Pakistan and the PCB.

 

[Devadwal]

Set up perfectly for our Glenn Khushdil

Same to same.

 

[emranabbas]

This is repeat of Asia cup 2023 . before that Pakistan becomes number one in ODI ranking After beating 2nd string team's .

Same happened before the tri series. They had won series in australia and South Africa after beating 2nd strings team's but Pakistan fans hype them too much based on those win.

Now getting the reality check when team's are taking ODI seriously due to champion trophy.

Which 1 was 2nd string Australia or South Africa?

 

[kingusama92]

Tayyab looking good compared to the rest.

 

[Ali Active]

Tayab seems decent. he should play at 5 imo agha at 6 saud should open with babar one down

 

[mominsaigol]

Step 1 in these drastic times:

Go back to Fakhar-Imam-Babar as your top 3.

It’s probably the only suggestion that might hit with the people of Pakistan and the PCB.

What's rizwan's odi avg now? Has it fallen below 41? If so, what's the excuse for rizwan being their 2nd best pdi batsmen Pakistan has ever had?

@Major care to chip in?

 

[emranabbas]

I cant see anyone go berserk in the last 15 overs

 

[Rana]

13 off 26

What’s my guy doing?

 

[PakPremi]

With all due respect you are clueless?

What kind of respect is that?

When I said with due respect I meant I am not name calling but making my judgement on the comment. No disrespect intended.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should look to drop bowlers and play all rounders only , batting till 11 and look to get 400

 

[Mohraheem]

13 off 26

What’s my guy doing?

Misbah ul haq spoke to him

 

[Rana]

What's rizwan's odi avg now? Has it fallen below 41? If so, what's the excuse for rizwan being their 2nd best pdi batsmen Pakistan has ever had?

@Major care to chip in?

His average is still higher than Lara and Inzimam

 

[Devadwal]

Good partnership building for pakistan

 

[mominsaigol]

When I said with due respect I meant I am not name calling but making my judgement on the comment. No disrespect intended.

I stand by my comment. It's based of snicko knick. Plain and simple. Unless the technology is magically detecting air particles, it knicked.

 

[Rana]

Rachin and Sodhi were the main spinners last time when Fakhar was racking up double tons and Rizwan was cementing his position as a number 4

 

[Rana]

Low grade side strain….

So this can aggravate and become worse?

 

[Human786]

Can '' Tayab Ali jaan ka dushman hai hai '' do it ? 171 from 114 req ...

 

[mominsaigol]

Rachin and Sodhi were the main spinners last time when Fakhar was racking up double tons and Rizwan was cementing his position as a number 4

Tbf fakhar got put due to scoreboard and wicket pressure. It's all rizzu's fault for eating up those dots ans then getting out.

Fakhar is a confidence player, you need to back him by staying at the other end.

 

[Asif321]

I cant see anyone go berserk in the last 15 overs

Khushdil

 

[Greenstorm]

These two should show urgency. Razzaq Shah and Shaheen Akram still to come.
