New Zealand (346/5) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (345/5) by 5 wickets in their first warm-up game in the ICC World Cup 2023

[Ali Active]

Pak should easily qualify. bet we are beating Nz And Sa easily

 

[Cricket Warrior]

saud is middling the ball quite well

 

[shah9425]

300 up

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sheer class this lad. We must find a place for him.

He is better than any batsman in Pak team except for Babar.

 

[Ali T]

All of a sudden with Saud Shakeel's inclusion and Rizwan in good form, or middle order isn't looking as weak as it was vs the last series.

 

[Zeshan547]

Saud should be at number 4.

Admit it

First time have to agree with you , and 90 posters will also agree ,its just a common sense thing because he is better spin player than Rzi boy , and plus Rizwan can have even better impact at 5, he has better stats at 5 than 4 I think and it will also force him to play at faster rate from start ,plus saud being left hander will be very handy vs leg spinners like Zampa and Rashid in middle overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Are we favorites again for World Cup?

 

[SalimBhai]

Saud over agha any day. I hope babar and team management not that dumb to understand we need a solid batsmen in our middle order

Said looks all class however is he the same kid whose father was pulling some strings a few years ago to get him in

 

[emranabbas]

Shot by saud

 

[Ali Active]

saud pure class
looks like peak haris sohail .
haris was more stylish though

 

[Champ_Pal]

Are we favorites again for World Cup?

Only if Shaheen and Rauf hit top form. Multiple players need to hit top form to win the WC.

 

[Markhor]

Both Saud and Salman are good batsmen with Saud being the classier of the two. Both have grafted for years in domestic cricket.

 

[SamNJ]

What is this buffoonery from NZ. Who bowls Mitchell in 47th overs ? Will they do that even once in world cup ?
If they don't want to play, forfiet it really.

 

[Energy]

Saud and Chacha will add much needed depth in the batting. Looking forward to seeing both bowl as well.

Practicing..... the result doesnt matter

 

[heddie19]

Pak should easily qualify. bet we are beating Nz And Sa easily

InshaAllah brother

 

[7sins]

Wanted iftikhar to get batting practice too

 

[Champ_Pal]

NZ bowling looks pretty mediocre. Their spinners are average at best and pacers look below average.

 

[SamNJ]

Practicing..... the result doesnt matter

I would rather they practice what they will really do.

 

[SalimBhai]

Said looks a bit shaky against the short ball

 

[heddie19]

Relax. We have another practice match against aussies.

What do you want them to do in a practice match?

They opened the bowling with Glenn Philips.

What does that tell you about how they are treating this match?

 

[Ali Active]

Saud has 4th and slight 5th gear that is rare to see from pakistan Batsmen

 

[shah9425]

brilliant innings Saud

keep going

 

[Ali T]

Pak should easily qualify. bet we are beating Nz And Sa easily

wao too early to say !

They are not serious about this match as we are

 

[shah9425]

well played Saud

 

[Ali Active]

wao too early to say !

Pak will do enough to Qualify. yes we might lose to india and england.
All the other games are winnable. expect pak to win atleast 6 hopefully

 

[FearlessRoar]

Suad Gone 75(53)

Shadab In

 

[Cricket Warrior]

make saud shakeel a PM of Pakistan

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tuned in, from the Asian Games

Good to see Pak on our turf, looks to be high scoring match. will be intresting to see pak quicks under lights, can they get reverse?

 

[NeVerMind]

Shadab comes out instead of Chacha

 

[Third Man]

You can't tell me with a straight face that Rizwan is a better player than Saud. There's no way any sane team is sending Rizwan ahead of Saud.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan is doing a favor to NZ by exposing their bowlers. Better to know about the truth in the practice game than in the actual match.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

make saud shakeel a PM of Pakistan

I wouldnt be surprised if the raucous calls for this emanate soon.

 

[7sins]

What do you want them to do in a practice match?

What does that tell you about how they are treating this match?

If you have seen nz recent performances they come in the same category as pakistan least favorites to qualify for the semis or to perform well in the wc

Look how they played last world cup's warm ups.

[Babeikh]

lol this is quite funny

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Saud yar

 

[jattafridi]

Saud well played my brother

 

[Third Man]

They are not serious about this match as we are

They're basically testing their 6th/7th bowling options and spinners here. That's all they're trying to take away from this match. Neesham is not starting based on the test today.

 

[7sins]

Hopefully we won't be using Shaheen Haris for more than 4 overs each. Better to give bowling practice to crap spinners in shadab Nawaz and hassan ali/waseem

 

[Cricket Warrior]

why they sent shadab in place of ifti?

 

[Champ_Pal]

They are not serious about this match as we are

For pakistan, it is a confidence building match.
For NZ, they are trying to find whom not to select in the playing XI.

 

[jattafridi]

Dangerous shadab is here

 

[msb314]

Shadab mediocre as always…

 

[NeVerMind]

Back to back sixes from Shadab!

 

[Cricket Warrior]

wow. shadab is on, well he wil return these runs once he will come to bowl full tosses

 

[Dr_Bassim]

When places are on the line, even Shadab starting to hit sixes.

 

[7sins]

When places are on the line, even Shadab starting to hit sixes.

We don't need his sixes we want him to be consistent enough to bowl decent 10 overs

 

[FearlessRoar]

Back to back sixes from Shadab. We want such fire from him in bowling too

 

[Fazzy321]

Damn how short are these boundaries in Hyderabad?

 

[Third Man]

When places are on the line, even Shadab starting to hit sixes.

I don't know if his place is really on the line. Knowing the way Babar Azam operates, he'll be starting no matter what he does here, and will be replaced when he loses us a couple of big matches.

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha gets 3 deliveries to make his mark!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shadab fails yet again.

 

[shah9425]

Iftimania

 

[Major]

Where is that poster who was saying oh look srilanka scored 90 something in 11 overs againat bangladesh

They got all out for 260....

 

[shah9425]

Good batting by our team

 

[Babeikh]

345!

Utterly hilarous lol

Why didn't we score 400?
Why didn't Babar retire on 43?
Why didn't Shadab score 66 off 11?
Why didn't Rizwan take a single when he was on 37?
Look at Sri Lanka! They scored 263 against Bangladesh!

 

[King_Babar]

Where is that poster who was saying oh look srilanka scored 90 something in 11 overs againat bangladesh

They got all out for 260....

They will continue post such stupid posts as long as Babar and Rizwan are there at the crease.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan 345/5 (50 ov)

Rizwan 103(94)
Babar 80(84)
Saud Shakeel 75(53

Mitchell Santner 8 over 39 runs 2 wickets
Matt Henry, James Neesham, Lockie Ferguson 1 wicket each

 

[Galla]

Shadab fails yet again.

how? Did you expect him break the fastest 50 record here

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Saud played a good knock but he will not be getting 120 MPH half volleys to play lofted sixes over extra cover in high intensity games

 

[YousafTheBeast]

NZ didn’t give us Boult and Southee to practice with but watch us bowl our first choice bowling attack as if it’s a knock out game.

 

[TheSultan]

Saud effortlessly played the best - well done son

 

[shaaik]

Saud and Chacha will add much needed depth in the batting. Looking forward to seeing both bowl as well.

All 4 of Nawaz , Ifti, Agha and Saud shd bowl at least 30 overs today so that we k ke who to pick between Agha and Nawaz..

 

[Major]

NZ didn’t give us Boult and Southee to practice with but watch us bowl our first choice bowling attack as if it’s a knock out game.

Thats their loss.

This is a practicie game so that players adjust to conditions. It is always important for pacers to play in practice game to understand pitch and the ground

 

[deltexas]

I noticed Cricinfo is covering this match in great detail like an international game whereas the sl vs bang game is covered like a domestic club game. Just shows where the eyeballs watching this world cup are in..

 

[Falconslions]

Trent Boult 0 overs
Tim Southee 0 Overs
Matt Henry 3 overs
Ferguson 4 overs

NZ was having a laugh, giving no actual practice against their frontline bowlers, only tested their reserves and spinners.

They have nothing new to learn. They play in the ipl regularly and have played many matches in india before.

Ipl is 4 overs per bowler and how many games they played in hyderabad and how many pf their players played in hyderabad

Southee is injured

Is he out of cup

 

[shah9425]

Is he out of cup

No but he might miss beginning of tourney

 

[Falconslions]

They played against India at this venue this year and they have only 1 group match here vs Netherlands so not important venue for them.

U do know indian wickets suit spinners more? Pakistan got valuable practice from santner.

Haters from pakistan coming out of their holes and finding ways to bash pakistan because pakistan scored 345 runs.

Such pathetic losers. Na apni izat na mulk ke kar saktay

This is a warmup match for warmup only. Some people are taking it way too seriously.

No one is taking it too serious. Only pakistan haters anad babar and rizwan haters are.

They scored runs now they are finding ways to bash pakistans effort. Saying lame things

It's not about having a laugh tournament is long and teams don't want to burn fast bowlers early

 

[Technics 1210]

Superb batting performance, even though a warm up, nice to see the 350 milestone within reach.

Now on to the bowlers.
