New Zealand defeat Pakistan by 9 wickets in 2nd T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead

[MenInG]

164 to get for New Zealand - Can Pakistan square the series?

 

[BakuGM]

Why is Wahab playing? Why couldn't the team management try Hasnain on these hard pitches? I just think we have the most brainless/useless Head coach in international cricket.

 

[shariqnoor]

No chance. Mediocre bowling lineup.

 

[Rayyman]

 

[watson367]

second ball 4.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

First ball misfield and then next one goes for 4. Hang your head in shame khushdil for not having the required intensity even during the first delivery of the game

 

[watson367]

i dont care if we lose, hafeez gave me something to smile about

 

[imshally81]

We still 20 runs short. . . NZ will chase in 18th over

 

[AAli98]

Dreadful lineup and dreadful display. 200+ pitch...

 

[Snowflake]

Not a single dot ball in the first 5

 

[watson367]

Shameless khusdil

Yeah brother I don't understand why Hasnain is being tried. He has the pace and jazba junoon also has the height

 

[Snowflake]

Only one 4 and they end up scoring 9 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

We still 20 runs short. . . NZ will chase in 18th over

may be under 15 overs today. Very fast outfield.

 

[watson367]

halwa total for these NZ batsmen.

 

[Firebat]

Not a single dot ball even in their first over. Why are we the only team that doesn't rotate strike?

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan was hitting 2 boundaries in one over and we ended up scoring 10

 

[watson367]

Rauf produce some magic today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh man I remember the times when Pakistan used to thrash New Zealand in NZ for fun with

 

[Slim]

The likes of Haider, Abdullah, Khushdil have shown that yeah you can play youngsters but that doesnt mean they will actually perform. If we lose this series, i cannot by any means blame Misbah/Waqar fully because the onus was on these players who were selected to perform after so much hue and cry.

 

[Greenstorm]

First ball misfield and then next one goes for 4. Hang your head in shame khushdil for not having the required intensity even during the first delivery of the game

That was Talat.

 

[Snowflake]

Not a single dot ball even in their first over. Why are we the only team that doesn't rotate strike?

Mindset. We're scared when batting. Other teams batters are fearless.

 

[Rana]

Flat start. Nothing to write about

 

[imshally81]

444 & 6666

 

[ARK Rafay]

Guptill's favorite ground. He won't miss out this time

 

[watson367]

Guptill showing us our place.

 

[imshally81]

Run out opportunity missed

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is how you bat in this format. Most of our players don’t have the required skill or bravery

 

[JibranAnsari]

haris is a first change bowler.

 

[Omer2002]

Damn why arent they slogging like us..they are playing proper shots thats not good

 

[Firebat]

Wow. Didn't expect the game to be done so soon.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was an easy direct hit

 

[Slim]

I have to say Haider Ali needs to take a look at himself and ask him what he is doing wrong. I hope the earlier media acclaim didnt get to his head. Abdullah has been an absolute disaster though and so has Khushdil, nothing notable in terms of performance.

 

[imshally81]

1st dot ball of the innings..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It's Guptill's day, game over brothers

 

[Rana]

Imad was brilliant with the new ball last time...why did you not bowl him this time?

 

[waleed88]

Ok time to turn the TV off.

 

[watson367]

Good thing is Pak always finishes match early.

 

[Snowflake]

For other teams, a dot ball is a small battle lost. For us, a dot ball means that the batsman has survived.

 

[Greenstorm]

150 by Rauf

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imad was brilliant with the new ball last time...why did you not bowl him this time?

It would have been too predictable

 

[watson367]

Ok time to turn the TV off.

following PCT is not for the faint of heart.

 

[MMHS]

Dumb by Shaheen. He would have saved max 1 or 2 runs, for that taking such risk .... that too for T20!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

this tour should be misbahs last tour as coach.

Cant really see what he is doing.

 

[watson367]

Run out couldve been a game changer.

 

[Energy]

Runs taken at will with the field in. Something Pakistan cannot do since a decade.

And now the street fighters will get smoked by the Kiwis by bowling half volleys.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Imad will get Guptill, he struggles against left arm spin

 

[Energy]

High blood pressure doesn't have enough time to think on his feet.

The Misbah Effect.

 

[imshally81]

Good bowling by Shaheen

 

[watson367]

rauf it too energetic, dil ka doraa par jayega.

 

[imshally81]

this tour should be misbahs last tour as coach.

Cant really see what he is doing.

Soch hey Ap ki...

 

[ARK Rafay]

200 ground this is. Pakistan is way off

 

[waleed88]

So true

 

[Rana]

Hafeez should run for the US presidential campaign

 

[watson367]

Miss imad getting early wickets in the uae

 

[JibranAnsari]

bro they will slaughter us in the test matches

 

[Shafi]

Should be an easy win for NZ. 200+ pitch. We could get that but apart from Hafeez everyone failed.

 

[Tubs]

Rauf bowling fast, but a bit wayward.

Agree with the dot ball comments.

 

[watson367]

8 wicket loss is my prediciton.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen is just decent tbh

The hype is too much, too early.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowling has been awful so far

 

[chacha kashmiri]

200 ground this is. Pakistan is way off

Shaheens losing the plot

 

[JibranAnsari]

i dont want us to play in SENA anymore , anyone who wants to play us come to UAE or Pakistan.

 

[watson367]

atleast shaheens won today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No consistency or line and lengths

 

[Madplayer]

What a Phainty

 

[Aman]

Hafeez is such a nice guy, doesn't deserve the hate.

 

[Rana]

OMG the NZ commies trolling Pakistan for not being in IPL

“He’s thanking his coach, hes looking for a contract for next year already”

 

[imshally81]

Another bad over by Shaheen

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was Talat.

My bad. Still

 

[Snowflake]

Even when it comes to bowling, not conceding a boundary and just a single is a win for us. That's why you'll see our fielders on their heels all the time

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Just in 3 overs NZ has shown what’s wrong with our batting

It’s not the hitting it’s the mindset of rotating the strike

 

[Firebat]

One boundary in an over for us and we'd get 5. One boundary in an over for them and they get 8/9/10

 

[watson367]

We deserve to get whitewashed. If we win the last match, shameless Misbah will say we were "competitive".

 

[ARK Rafay]

Welcome Sir Faheem

 

[imshally81]

Faheem )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Drop and run

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a shot from guptill

 

[Aman]

If this is Guptill's night this could be over quick.
