New Zealand v Pakistan | 4th T20I | Christchurch | Jan 19 | Pakistan Innings

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar is struggling here

 

[Croma]

Rizwan is just interested in raising his bat on touching 50.

That's his entire approach to T20.

Yes, first he scores his runs, after he reaches his quota he will start swining his bat

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

dismantling babar/riz opening pair in t20Is has completely misfired ..atleast they used to give us some platform to either put up a good total or chase down big one. Need to go back to that and add some power hitters in middle..no sloggers but genuine power hitters..look for them in PSL

 

[Human786]

All 5 bowlers have 2 overs each left - these 2 need to now go hard against all o them - remember , no draw in this format

 

[Rana]

Pakistan will end up 20-30 short here

 

[BouncerGuy]

If you look at the half way mark, this score is not encouraging.

 

[MANU ROY]

Should not over hype Saim Ayub

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar's timing is off. 170 would have been a good score here if we had good bowling attack

 

[Croma]

Should not over hype Saim Ayub

Who has overhyped Ayub?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar is struggling here - 5(10) need to stay there till end.

 

[MANU ROY]

If you look at the half way mark, this score is not encouraging.

Fakhar still there​

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar is soon gonna go big.

 

[MANU ROY]

Who has overhyped Ayub?

Pakistan cricket fans some

 

[Croma]

Is Fakhar trying to prove he cant bat at 4 and is better suited to open?

 

[Human786]

time to TONK - just 9 overs left

 

[Devadwal]

38 balls fifty for rizwan .

 

[Rana]

Well done TNT for going to commercials when Rizwan got 50

No one cares about selfish players

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Is Fakhar trying to prove he cant bat at 4 and is better suited to open?

Well he batted as an opener and failed 7/10 times.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan looking pleased with his 50 off 38 balls lol.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

rizwan is being unbelievably selfish here

 

[Rana]

38 balls fifty for rizwan .

Beast mode opener

 

[SamNJ]

No boundaries

 

[160KPH]

Santner is destroying us

 

[Ahmed216]

Is Fakhar trying to prove he cant bat at 4 and is better suited to open?

Check Fakhar's record as an opener. He's yet to crack this format

 

[Croma]

I just saw a game where India went from 22-4 to 200 something. IN the same game Afghans batted so well.

And then I watch this struggle

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan looking pleased with his 50 off 38 balls lol.

Avg maintained, ranking will increase .who care about team win or lose .

 

[Rana]

Rizwan looking pleased with his 50 off 38 balls lol.

He is Pakistan’s necessity lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Go big against Santner Fakhar this is ur territory

 

[MANU ROY]

Is this pitch super flat or not

 

[Croma]

Check Fakhar's record as an opener. He's yet to crack this format

Then appears a question.

Is there no one else in Pakistan? If not, then go back to Babar-Rizwan.

 

[Rana]

run rate 6.86 with a guy who has played 41 balls out of 65 at the crease

 

[160KPH]

Go big against Santner Fakhar this is ur territory

It’s crazy how one is only criticizing Rizwan when Fakhar is 7 off 13 right now

 

[Human786]

sedate stuff 82/2

 

[Ahmed216]

Is this pitch super flat or not

It's a bit sticky. Not easy to time those shots.

 

[Croma]

5 overs without a boundary

SHaraaamful Batting

 

[MHN1293]

Then appears a question.

Is there no one else in Pakistan? If not, then go back to Babar-Rizwan.

Saim haris. Personally I believe haris to be a better/more destructive player in t20is compared to saim

 

[BouncerGuy]

The cannot play him. Santner superb

 

[Rana]

Then appears a question.

Is there no one else in Pakistan? If not, then go back to Babar-Rizwan.

And then who bats at 3?

Rizwan performing in a dead rubber has given rise to you RizBar fans to tell us Pakistan desperately need this opening pair?

 

[SamNJ]

Rizwan is Mr. consistent of this format. Unreal consistency in this format.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

It’s crazy how in this thread one is only criticizing Rizwan when Fakhar is 7 off 13 right now

because he has already played 40 plus deliveries.. you are supposed to get on with it after playing so many balls in t20s

 

[Ahmed216]

It’s crazy how in this thread one is only criticizing Rizwan when Fakhar is 7 off 13 right now

Agenda driven. Hoping for our own players to fail

 

[Dr_Bassim]

It’s crazy how in this thread one is only criticizing Rizwan when Fakhar is 7 off 13 right now

Fakhar is being forced to bat at 4.

Rizwan is batting at his favorite position.

 

[zaidihusain]

5 of 7th over
5 of 8th over
4 of 9th over
6 of 10th over
6 of 11th over
5 of 12th over

Now after such mediocre SR some fans will expect middle order or lower order to score @ SR of 20. This is embarrassing.

 

[160KPH]

because he has already played 40 plus deliveries.. you are supposed to get on with it after playing so many balls in t20s

I mean Santner is owning him.. but also owning Fakhar

 

[Rana]

Agenda driven. Hoping for our own players to fail

Without a doubt

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Rana]

Thank you Rizwan for destroying Fakhar’s career basically

 

[Shafi]

Classic test innings by Fakhar

 

[160KPH]

Fakhar is being forced to bat at 4.

Rizwan is batting at his favorite position.

Fakhar has an absolutely horrible horrible record as an opener in T20.

 

[Alter_Ego]

Peak tullay baazi from both batters

 

[SamNJ]

Fakhar not good in this format. Never has been.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar's struggle ends as he is gone now. Pathetic stuff this is.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is Mr. consistent of this format. Unreal consistency in this format.

Unreal 120 strike rate consistency?

It’s amazing how he has kept the spirit of 2004 going in 2024 in T20 cricket

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Thank you Rizwan for destroying Fakhar’s career basically

So you want Fakhar to play as an opener, please help me understand this.

Fakhar average 11 with SR 110 in his last 17 innings as an opener.

 

[Shafi]

Thank you Rizwan for destroying Fakhar’s career basically

9 of 15 by this useless player and blame Rizwan for that. Are you alright?

 

[Energy]

Fakhar with a 60 SR innings.

It had intent so I'll give it to him. Slogged 10 out of the 15 balls.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Thank you Rizwan for destroying Fakhar’s career basically

in this match , Rizwan was supposed to take charge. if an incoming batsman is struggling , why are you there for 12 overs? to pop up stats

 

[Human786]

27 run partnership off 33 balls & then Fakkar departs - what was the thought process / strategy these 2 experienced players were following ?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fakhar has an absolutely horrible horrible record as an opener in T20.

Yes if you want a 50 avg at a 130 SR then Rizwan is a revelation.

Too bad it doesn't help you win against good teams.

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar's struggle is over. Time for Sahibzada to do something

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is being forced to bat at 4.

Rizwan is batting at his favorite position.

If Fahhar played as an opener he would have been out in 3 overs

 

[Ahmed216]

So you want Fakhar to play as an opener, please help me understand this.

Fakhar average 11 with SR 110 in his last 17 innings as an opener.

Anyone but Rizwan. They refuse to budge

 

[Rana]

Yes if you want a 50 avg at a 130 SR then Rizwan is a revelation.

Too bad it doesn't help you win against good teams.

Very soon it won’t help against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka either

Pakistan will stay the same and others will overtake them.

 

[SamNJ]

Unreal 120 strike rate consistency?

It’s amazing how he has kept the spirit of 2004 going in 2024 in T20 cricket

You can accomodate one player like him. Others can bat around him. Fakhar played badly here, not Rizwan.

 

[160KPH]

Yes if you want a 50 avg at a 130 SR then Rizwan is a revelation.

Too bad it doesn't help you win against good teams.

They have almost the same strike rate in T20’s though

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Rana]

56 off 44

Asia cup final vibes

 

[kingusama92]

Disappointing stuff.

 

[SamNJ]

Sahibzada looked like a tailender from ball one.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pakistan batters and their short ball troubles

 

[Energy]

Farhan has been swallowed early.

Now over to capable hands of chacha.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Farhan also gone! Credit should be given for showing intent. Runs doesn't matter !

 

[Rana]

You can accomodate one player like him. Others can bat around him. Fakhar played badly here, not Rizwan.

You should do that for the Indian national side

Let us worry about how we want to match the big teams ourselves

 

[Ahmed216]

Another opener goes

 

[MANU ROY]

Sahibzada Farhan out

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Everyone is taking risks.

Rizwan is taking singles.

And in the end they will say Rizwan is hero.

 

[lontje]

Farhan gone for 1 we have no batsman good enough for modern day standards good. Sad times

 

[Barragan]

Why is Farhan an opener batting at 5?

Absolute madness.

 

[Human786]

Can they get to 150 ?

 

[Rana]

Sahibzada Farhan fails in his natural position of number 5….


Oh wait!
