New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Hamilton | Jan 17, 2016 | Pakistan innings

[dauntless]

UA should bat at 3

 

[Syed2015]

Sensible stuff. Dont get yourself deluded by hitting 2 six in a row, just back up with a single.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Chota is always on the brink of getting himself runout whenever he looks good.

 

[Space Cat]

Pakistan still have wickets in hand. Can still get a decent total with such a good bowling attack.

180 is probably par but 160+ will still be hard with Pakistan bowling.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

7 over target - 77 atleast!

 

[Caved12]

Chota Akmal should open in this format and we should drop Ahmed Shehzad.

 

[Shafi]

Our only hope is T20 matches. ODI team is just pathetic captained by tuk tuk and brainless Azhar Ali. Don't expect Amir to perform under this pathetic captain. 3-0 is on

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shot from Malik!

 

[dauntless]

Nice shot malik

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Akmal kohli thread should be brought back

What? On basis of t20?

 

[Pakcricket89]

better from malik

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Malik, good shot.

 

[anuk]

What a shot. Malik is a true Pakistani master

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shobby shabash

 

[Aman]

Tighten up Eilliot.

 

[imshally81]

Another :4

[Syed2015]

Nice shot. Hit out against Elliot.

 

[ChachaCricket]

I know Akmal isn't Mr Reliable but as an immense talent for Pakistan he's been treated abysmally

He hasn't been treated abysmally just not been coached properly. Can't blame PCB for that because they simply don't have the personnel in place.

 

[#GreenRoars]

more by Shobby, excellent batting.

 

[Pakcricket89]

What? On basis of t20?

2 sixes of rank long hops

 

[dauntless]

Wow malik

 

[coy0607]

Malik is a champ with the cut shot

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And they refuse to let him open ) . Umar is the best batsman in this format. Its as clear as daylight.

 

[PCP_1]

Like I said, 166.

 

[daytrader]

How small is that boundary

The sixes were 71 and 82 meters

 

[Space Cat]

Small side of the ground getting peppered here.

 

[dauntless]

UA batting sensibly

55 on one side and 75 on the other.

 

[Ankit007]

On basis of has Kohli ever hit 2 sixes in a row LOL

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

6 Over Target - 72 runs. Takes us to 180.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

even ten an over seems less now.

 

[coy0607]

4/5 isn't a bad spot for Akmal- problem is you need a real batsmen at 3, not someone who wastes 1/5th of the balls- that messes up everything

 

[Watsupdoc]

Corey Akram back in the attack.

 

[cricfan14]

Akmal has to bat at 3 next match

 

[PCP_1]

Should bring back Kamran/Nauman and make one open and the other at 1 down or both open and Hafeez at 3.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Maqsood screwed us big time.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Goes to show you how flat this wicket is, if only the hack hadn't wasted so many deliveries Pakistan would've gotten close to 200, 160 from here on will be an achievement.

 

[Syed2015]

Good comeback. Momentum back in Paks hand. Need to set the platform now for a big target.

Think something about 172 going to be the target in the end.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

6 Over Target - 72 runs. Takes us to 180.

Twelve an over is very possible on this ground

 

[imshally81]

Lucky :4

[ChachaCricket]

Keep swinging Umar.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need atleast 2 20 plus overs else the series is tied.

 

[cricfan14]

Would you do -

Shehzad (ugh)
hafeez
akmal
malik
sarfaraz
afridi
imad
wahab
gul
amir

 

[dauntless]

Edge but nice

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to hi 20+ in this over.

 

[Abdullah719]

From CI:

Nasir: "Harsh criticism of Maqsood i feel. He is a much better player than he has looked in the last 2 games. Hope Pakistan stick with him and not bench him straight away."

Well, would know what Maqsood is going through.

 

[rhony]

The sixes were 71 and 82 meters

That doesn't matter. Batsmen tend to take the risk towards a shorter boundary as a mishit could easily carry over 55m

 

[Caved12]

we need some luck today

 

[rhony]

Need 160 and it is Game ON

 

[Ankit007]

Would you do -

Shehzad (ugh)
hafeez
akmal
malik
sarfaraz
afridi
imad
wahab
gul
amir

Best t20 XI for pak. Agreed.

 

[m.shah]

Good partnership this

 

[dauntless]

Both batting sensibly

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need 8 runs in next 2 balls

 

[Nikhil_cric]

4/5 isn't a bad spot for Akmal- problem is you need a real batsmen at 3, not someone who wastes 1/5th of the balls- that messes up everything

Unfortunately it is a bad spot considering the state of the batting lineup. T20's get over in the blink of an eye and its important to let your best batsman bat as much as possible . Umar is your best bat in this format and its imperative that he bats as many overs as possible

 

[JilaWatan]

Mlb fans: remember how Rick ankiel suddenly forgot how to pitch, that's what seems like has happened to maqsood

Is this same ground as last match?

Lightning shot.

 

[Space Cat]

Come on stop bowling wides

 

[dauntless]

Well done malik

 

[Abdullah719]

Would you do -

Shehzad (ugh)
hafeez
akmal
malik
sarfaraz
afridi
imad
wahab

Well, you've selected only 10 players, but I think dropping Maqsood is a positive. Playing with one man less is better.

 

[daytrader]

They were intentional and not mishits. Boi is playingwell, those would have been sixes on most grounds

 

[Passionate Observer]

Need Afridi at this stage, he can absolutely demolish this attack with these minuscule boundaries.

 

[Abdullah719]

Is this same ground as last match?

No. Apparently just an hour away though.

 

[hamzie]

really good stuff by the boiz

 

[Madplayer]

Shoaib malil is carrying the batting of this team on his own

 

[anuk]

Pakistan doing this easily. Looking at 175 now

 

[imshally81]

Would you do -

Shehzad (ugh)
hafeez
akmal

Only 10 players?

This is a good partnership so far for Pakistan.

NZ need a wicket or two to halt the momentum.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Target for last 5 overs
30 balls, 60 runs.

 

[coy0607]

Need Afridi at this stage, he can absolutely demolish this attack with these minuscule boundaries.

yeah, this ground / situation is made for Afridi

 

[#GreenRoars]

So i asked 8 runs in 2 balls, 5 already done Won't mind four or six haha.

 

[Space Cat]

Grant Elliot again.

This could be interesting.

 

[Caved12]

We need 60-70 runs in the last 5.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

50 in 5 makes it 166, seems on the lesser side.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Man this Zemtv is awesome. Try UniTV sports on there, and u get 720p stream. Looks great.

EDIT: Forgot to mention it's an addon on Kodi.

 

[imshally81]
