New Zealand defeat Pakistan by 61 runs (D/L method) to win 1st ODI

[Abdullah719]

The target is 316 for Pakistan. Can they chase it down?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Fakhar or bust

 

[shokz1408]

Going to be very difficult.. will depend on fakhar to score 50-100..

 

[babajee]

Fakhar, Babar and Malik are the key

 

[Sirris]

Hafeez to show his class!

 

[shane]

It's a 250-run pitch, so Pakistan will do well to come close to this.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Dekh lete hain aaj babar boi ko

 

[Abdul]

Hoping Azhar does well here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hafeez to show his class!

Is that a positive thing?

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz could play a key role here. Remember he did when we chased 300 in England not too long ago.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan need a strong start.

 

[Sirris]

Is that a positive thing?

We will find it out!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

If we’re 150/2 around 25 overs we can chase it

 

[gkb101277867]

What time will play restart?

 

[Aman]

Not happy with today's performance, we were lucky and left runs out there,

 

[Usman Chadda]

It's a 250-run pitch, so Pakistan will do well to come close to this.

This pitch is very flat. Flat pitches are 300-run pitches. Pakistan's batting is one-dimensional so New Zealand might get away with it.

 

[UP]

This NZ attack is too strong - it will be a miracle if we chase this down.

I don't think it's as good as people think it is. The bounce isn't true and their was the rare ball which kept low

Pakistan missed a lot of chances and were pretty unlucky.

 

[Pete Rose]

new year, new doomsday clock on hafeez and malik's career.

I think NZ opening bowlers will have better pitch map.

 

[Abdul]

Not happening. I think we should stop dreaming now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Munro hitting through the line was evidence enough. Williamson was clearly trusting the bounce early in the innings when he was positive and then proceeded to tuk tuk his way to the rest of his innings.

 

[Abdul]

How long until the second innings?

 

[Smbhayi]

too much negativity.

 

[Abdul]

too much negativity.

It's the norm on this website.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

First ball at 23

 

[m.shah]

Any channel showing the match in India??

 

[QalandarFan]

How long until the second innings?

Innings ended at 2:53 and the break is supposed to be about 30 minutes long so play should resume in 5-10 minutes.

 

[QalandarFan]

Can’t wait for a Fakhar onslaught!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Aaj haar gaye tou sarfraz bohot galian khayega

 

[Usman Chadda]

Aaj haar gaye tou sarfraz bohot galian khayega

Jeet bhi gaye toh hamare fans kaunsa chorte hain.

 

[Titan24]

Didnt see the whole innings but can anybody tell me that why malik wasnt tried against munro? Malik was in pretty good form with ball in BPL.

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on Fakhar

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Any channel showing the match in India??

Star sports select 1.....and hotstar

[Abdul]

How long until the second innings?

Right, it's starting now.

 

[Pete Rose]

its gonna be fun, being on the forum when azhar ali beds to play through the innings.

 

[Titan24]

It looks a pretty flat wicket. No swing for Southee on first ball

 

[Abdul]

its gonna be fun, being on the forum when azhar ali beds to play through the innings.

Expect a few to lose their marbles.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 runs off the second ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar lol

 

[BleedGreen]

[Deewana Mastana]

[Arham_PakFan]

Great shot by Azhar for

 

[Abdul]

Just like that Azhar.

 

[Aman]

Umpires call at worst.

You keep it if it's umpires call right?

 

[babajee]

Azhar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Reviewed

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hah whoa. Azhar has 6 runs already. Shocked.

And he is also out.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Looks out

 

[Aman]

Azhar would have been safe if he didn't fall away.

He showed leg stump by falling over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No bat and hitting leg

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not even umpires call

 

[BleedGreen]

not out

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn. Looks out to me

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bye Azhar thanks for taking the review with you

 

[Nasty Naz]

And a completely wasted review. Great job Azhar.

 

[Zeshan547]

what a rubbish ball to get out, that's what you get from a rubbish ODI player

 

[Arham_PakFan]

He still has the same weakness of falling over,needs to rectify it

 

[Aman]

Pakistan lose their only review in the first over.

 

[babajee]

Tbh we weren’t gonna chase it with Azhar at the crease

 

[castortroy]

Pak will be 50-4

Such a predictable match.

Another drubbing coming this series

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Azhar would have been safe if he didn't fall away.

He showed leg stump by falling over.

He falls over every other time

 

[BleedGreen]

ball is swinging late. RIP pak batting.

 

[Aman]

Bye Babar.

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Azhar why review that. Absolutely plumb. He's always susceptible to LBW because he falls across the stumps.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar

Bye

 

[Syed1]

Thank God Azhar gone early... atleast now we have a fighting chance

 

[Arham_PakFan]

LOL Babar out first ball

 

[Aman]

No review damn. Thought it was high.

That was close, but Azhar )

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Where them babar fans at

 

[castortroy]

lol baber gone to

Lol fans actually thought we would win this series

 

[Ellipsism]

Blame Azhar for this.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Thank God Azhar gone early... atleast now we have a fighting chance

Ab chance hai?

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a fail.

 

[Aman]

2 down and Boult hasn't even bowled yet

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shabash Azhar. You messed up Babar's chances of a review.

 

[babajee]

Omg

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez
