New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Hamilton | Jan 14 | New Zealand Innings

[Human786]

168/4 - 18 balls to go

 

[Croma]

Now good comback from NZ. 168-4

 

[Devadwal]

Good comeback by Pakistan bowlers in second half.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan needs to find a way to improve their fielding... a lot. It's not even the lack of catches because easy singles being given away, ones turning into two's, boundary rides not stopping boundaries. It makes such a difference because you let off all that pressure.

NZ has taken singles when it shouldn't be there or at least should threaten for a run out but nothing has even been close. I am pretty sure none of the Pakistani fielders have even hit the stumps with all their throws.

 

[Rana]

3rd umpire is so confused

 

[Ahmed216]

Abbas looks clever guy, knew last over was good and they will attack now, so used slower ball straightaway.

Overdoing the slower ones

 

[Human786]

6

 

[Croma]

WIlliamson's exit has changed the complexion of this game.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim ayub looks extremely nervous in the field. Expect him to make more errors

 

[BouncerGuy]

superb shot for 6 by santner.

 

[Croma]

everytime there are 2 dot balls, the third ball is a 6.

Pak second law of Bowling

 

[Human786]

Jamal ki pitai shuru

 

[Croma]

0 0 6 4

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jamal was bowling beautifully untill he bowled this over. Not good at all.

 

[Ahmed216]

WIlliamson's exit has changed the complexion of this game.

Champion. His innings in 2022 WC final remains my favorite T20 innings alongside Marlon Samuels 2012 knock

 

[Ahmed216]

Jamal was bowling beautifully untill he bwoled this over. Not good at all.

Bowling length at this stage is criminal

 

[Rana]

Glenn Phillips v Rauf and Shaheen now

 

[Human786]

so 206 perhaps ...

 

[Croma]

0 0 6 4 0 4

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTT

 

[BouncerGuy]

poor end to his over by jamal..he did the worst job that he could

 

[Croma]

Rauf gets Philips. BIG wicket

 

[Ahmed216]

Proper all rounder is Santner

 

[Shafi]

Jamal is not a T20 bowler. His performance is same in domestic

 

[Rana]

Great catch

Usama Mir was on course to distract Saim there

 

[Human786]

Now Santu is the big wicket - no signs of covid weakness btw

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris got phillips. brilliant catch by saim.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Phew, good job hanging onto that Saim.

 

[Croma]

Saim manages to catch inspite of nervousness

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTT 182/6

 

[Croma]

TWO IN TWO

 

[BouncerGuy]

Superb from saim.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Back to back wickets and now Rauf is on a hat trick. Would love to see him get one.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Milne is gone as well now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris can take a hat-trick here. lets gooooo

 

[Croma]

HATTRICK BALL.

Finall I get to see Haris Rauf bowl well

 

[Croma]

WIDE

 

[BouncerGuy]

another wide.

 

[Human786]

183/7

 

[BouncerGuy]

No hattrick for haris this time.

 

[Croma]

W W wd 0 W

Carnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!

 

[BouncerGuy]

bowled him next ball...brilliant

 

[Nasty Naz]

3 wickets for Rauf in the over. Fantastic over and its taken away all of the momentum away from NZ.

 

[Croma]

FInally I got my wish to see Haris bowl well.

Next wish is for SHaheen to get the remaining 3 next over

 

[RidiculousMan]

Haris Rauf proving once again why he's still one of the best death bowlers in the world.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris is running through the tail here. superb finish

 

[kingusama92]

Great death bowling from Rauf.

 

[Rana]

Why did Sodhi come to bat ahead of Southee?

 

[Croma]

Career saving over from RAUF

 

[kingusama92]

It's better to just run Rauf in the second half of a T20I innings.

 

[Rana]

Career saving over from RAUF

He actually is a world class death bowler

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tuk tuks last game and retired hurt this game.

He had an unusually good 50 over World Cup .


Can he defy the odds and have a great World T20 ? Looks doubtful.

 

[Human786]

187& Santu on strike last over

 

[Croma]

He actually is a world class death bowler

AGreed

 

[Nasty Naz]

I think Rauf gave up 30 runs in his first two overs and then only 8 in his last two. He is simply not a good bowler during the powerplay but he is so great outside of that.

 

[Croma]

SHaheen needs to get 3 wickets this over

 

[Croma]

I think Rauf gave up 30 runs in his first two overs and then only 8 in his last two. He is simply not a good bowler during the powerplay but he is so great outside of that.

Should bowl after the first 6 overs

 

[Rana]

Azam just cost Shaheen a dot ball lol

 

[Croma]

Azam just cost Shaheen a dot ball lol

what happeeneed

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not even the batter but Azam the keeper putting the bowler off

 

[Croma]

yorker shaheen yorker

 

[Croma]

3 balls 3 wickets, come on Captain

 

[BouncerGuy]

End it below 200 shaheen.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Already missing Rizwan with the gloves. He's so reliable as a wicket keeper.

 

[Human786]

192/8

 

[Ahmed216]

30-40 run loss again for us unless Rizwan or Saim play a blinder

 

[Croma]

Azam gets a run out

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good wicketkeeping from Azam. Gets the run out there.

 

[Human786]

194 it is

 

[RidiculousMan]

Tremendous effort by Pakistan to keep New Zealand under 200. They were on course for another 220.

 

[Nasty Naz]

195 is the target. After 10 overs, it looked like 250 was on the cards so really good death bowling from Pakistan here.

Still, it won't be an easy chase.

 

[Croma]

195 to win then.

Saim and Riz gonna smash today

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good finish to the innings by Pakistan bowlers. It could have been another 220 plus chase but job well done at the end.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good effort
