Rizwan is live wire, too quick for a Pakistani [emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

Sarfraz needs to play out few overs.... Not worry about runs

 

[hur rizvi]

I don't think there is much of panic yet. Today, what PAK has done is what I call a head start.

I give 2 proposition 170/3 after 35 overs or 233/5 after 35 - any team 'll take the 2nd one; because the runs are there.

NOW, it depends on how smart this pair is, which Babar wasn't. These 2 can maintain 4.5 in next 8 overs & take the score to 270/5 with 7 overs to go & then the hitting power of the 3 bowlers come it to equation.

I actually think PAK is in better situation than usual PAK, though Babar's dismissal was silly - that could have won the match. RR is 6.6, which Sarfraz & Rizwan can pull down to 6, after 45 & still PAK can reach 325.

Smartness is not a thing you associate with Pakistani batsmen

 

[Ankit007]

Both new batsman right now. Good bounce in the pitch. Something Irfan will look to exploit

 

[Abdul]

Now this pair has to play sensibly and still a lot of overs left.

The problem with Pakistan batting is same as ever, they just don't know how to pace the innings.

 

[Asadullah]

Henry hitting the deck hard. Should have been introduced when 3rd partnership was cruising, poor captaincy

 

[ZAK]

Henry has bowled very well so far.

Take it easy Sarfi

 

[90MPH]

Make no mistake, anything under 300 will mean NZ are strong favourites.

 

[Third Man]

Rizwan is one ugly looking batsman.

 

[Asadullah]

Need to hit out Elliot at least. He's bowling at 105k for God's sake

 

[yasir]

BM is going for wickets

Rizwan, the tuktuk dynamite

 

[IAJ]

Hopefully McCullum doesnt know about Rizwans struggles against spin.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That shouldve been 2

 

[#GreenRoars]

Well controlled sweep shot.

 

[Asadullah]

Great shot, one run

 

[90MPH]

Rizwan looks all over the place in terms of balance.

Really out of sorts, not the same player against SL.

 

[hur rizvi]

Keep these cheeky sweeps to yourself Sarf

 

[Asadullah]

Hopefully McCullum doesnt know about Rizwans struggles against spin.

Well Elliot is pretty much bowling spin too

I think you didn't watch first ODI? )

 

[yasir]

Rizwan wasted whole over, cannot read from hand as before [emoji84][emoji84][emoji84][emoji84]

Both look like tailenders TBH

Someone should relax the batting pair - it's a perfect surface with run on board already at a great rate; just relax & play on merit.

 

[BigBoy123]

Rizwan looks so mediocre..

[Asadullah]

last 2.8 overs for fielding restriction. Need to capitalise

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good batting Sarfi, keep it going.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

320-330 at most depending if these two or one stays till the end.

 

[yasir]

Rizwan is nowhere near ready as a full time batsmen in any format TBF

This team needs Haris Sohail and Umar Akmal badly.

 

[IAJ]

Yeah the cutter he bowled and Rizwan at the sea.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lovely shot

 

[Abdul]

Mohammad Rizwan getting some unnecessary hate here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Excellent shot Sarfi,
Now don't get excited please.

 

[ZAK]

Lovely flick for four by Sarfraz.

Sarfaraz breaking the shackles

 

[Asadullah]

Sarfraz looking good. A good batsman of both pace and spin

 

[marlonbrowndo]

It says Sarfraz was dropped on 4 by Ronchi. I dont remember this..

 

[razabbas]

its 250/5 and still henry bowling and then we have azhar ali it was 99/6 in 24 overs

 

[hur rizvi]

Rizwan just needs to get ihis eye in till 40 overs and then slog.

40 over would be too early to slog. Tail is to long for Pakistan

 

[ZAK]

250 up for Pakistan.

That was a beautiful shot for 4

Poor lines from Henry this week over

 

[imshally81]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Was a bad ball but well played

 

[Asadullah]

Was getting banana swing in the first ODI. This pitch has no swing. 105ks are freebies

 

[#GreenRoars]

Intelligent shot Rizzu
Stick to safe game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn that looks out...

 

[hur rizvi]

That looks out

 

[imshally81]

Oh no

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Please don't be out!!!!

 

[EliteCynical]

Who has McCullum replaced in this game?

 

[razabbas]

bat in the air

 

[#GreenRoars]

No no no no no, what the hell

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[hur rizvi]

There goes 300

 

[ZAK]

Rizwan is gone!

What a way to get out... So unlucky...

 

[Asadullah]

Unluckiest way to get out

 

[Amjid Javed]

lucky run out for kiwis!

what are we doing here!

256/6 now...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Who has McCullum replaced in this game?

Latham.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Who has McCullum replaced in this game?

Latham I think

 

[Zeshan547]

We have the worst openers and worst lower order and tail, or is there anyone worse in top eight? I like playing 4 specialist bowlers idea and 7 specialist batsman but not when 4 of those so called specialist batsman or worse than tailenders. Today i think we are really lucky to even reach this score. Otherwise on a normal day with this batting line up we can't score more than 250 eight out of ten times because hafeez malik and babar won't be able to play like this every time.

 

[Azzurri]

Rizwan is so unlucky
Run out 3rd time in 15 innings

Unlucky rizwan

 

[EliteCynical]

Latham.

Thanks

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just play out the overs now

 

[jog_1]

unlucky

 

[hur rizvi]

Who has McCullum replaced in this game?

We have thrown away the initiative with Hafeez and babar throwing away their wickets

 

[MMHS]

What can I say? Thse are the things happen too often with PAK team & that's not by chance.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Nothing Rizwan could have done about that.

And now we have Wahab at the crease

 

[90MPH]

That was unlucky.

Can't do anything about that.

 

[EliteCynical]

Latham I think

Thanks

 

[Abdullah719]

In what world is Wahab a better batsman than Amir?

 

[razabbas]

probably the most unfortunate way to get out

 

[hur rizvi]

280 all out looks a realistic total now

 

[jog_1]

just bat out the overs please, we'll get to 300 easily if you just play risk free cricket

 

[EliteCynical]

I hope Pak now play out the overs and Sarf farms the majority of the strike.
