New Zealand vs Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Auckland | Jan 25, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[TalhaSyed]

Anyone else feel like the celebration from Hassan after getting Wheeler's wicket was directed more towards Sarfraz than the batsmen

As the commentator said - there aren't many teams who would put up with their captain behaving the way Sarfraz does for very long. The guy really needs to get the balance between showing emotion/pumping the boys up and keeping things calm out in the middle.

Never underestimate Pakistan. You seen that today now to know for the future.

You've lost 6 straight games. This is your first win in like a month on tour.

This match should serve as a reminder that this team is filled with capable players and dismissing their past efforts as "flukes" is disrespectful to their achievements and the effort they put in. Criticism is one thing but these players are human after all. It's not been the most competitive series but this match atleast showed pakistan's potential.

 

[Aman]

19 more runs for a moral victory

 

[Madplayer]

Dont know how santner scores a run.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan have comprehensively outperformed us on all fronts.

I am not talking about them being special. I am saying they have done a good job on this tour. Restricting NZ to 270 or below most of the times. Any other team would have chased such totals. Pakistan batting failed miserably and the only times the team looked competitive in the last 2 games was because of bowling performances.

speaking to a wall there

Im well aware of Pakistans ability to pull performances like this out of their backsides. I expected at least one.

Law of averages...

6-1 it stands after this.

Ofcourse it's a fluke.

 

[Hiraeth]

Rumman is soooo bad...

No one is denying that. Let us pakistanis enjoy the moment.

Ive never seen the guy time a ball in like 3 years.

Seen worse. Nothing new and will happen in the future too.

 

[Aman]

3 sixes an over for the next 3 overs.

C'mon

You don't score 200 runs because of a fluke. New zealand still the better team but today was largely pakistans day.

 

[Aman]

Damn, so close to being 6.

 

[Madplayer]

3 sixes an over for the next 3 overs.

C'mon

Ishhhhhhhh doing it

Savour this game .... because it's unlikely to repeat itself for a long time.

Pretty sure most people thought that up until this game seeing the way we were losing. Probability of this happening again is low, but possibility still there.

I don’t agree. Amir was poor, Hasan was average, Fahim and Raees are nothing special. However, Shadab was good.

Overall, I would give the bowlers 5/10 in the ODI series.

 

[Saeed]

We should have gotten them all out a bit earlier. Anyways congrts to everyone, hopefully we will win the next match too. Amazing batting and bowling today.
