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

[Extra_Cover]

Shahzad hitting a roadblock here

 

[angrypathan]

Can't take the foot off the pedal here, need to keep attacking and aim for 200

 

[Madplayer]

50 from 26 balls from Fakhar. Whattay player

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Starting tuk tuk again

 

[Naim]

fifty for Fakhar , and shehzaad back to his tuk tuk. 38 in 32 balls .

 

[badsha001]

Shehzad back to himself, tuk tuk start

My bad, said too early...

 

[Madplayer]

6 from Shehzad finally.

 

[angrypathan]

Shehzad and Fakhar competing for the flattest ever six

 

[babajee]

50 from 26 balls from Fakhar. Whattay player

But as per some PP experts he’s been found out and should be dropped

 

[JattMaula]

What a sixer!!!

 

[angrypathan]

Out now, off a slower ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shahzad bye

 

[Naim]

Shehzaad .

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad :

A good innings. Full of intent. Could have been better though. But overall not bad on his comeback.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Six

 

[Space Cat]

Rance finally trys something other than bowling it into the slot.

 

[babajee]

If Shehzad can keep playing with intent he deserves more chances.

Needs to work on strike rotation though

 

[angrypathan]

Let's see what Babar can do now that he finally has a good opening partnership ahead of him

 

[haroon91]

Should send in Faheem

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Good innings needs to be consistent.

 

[Madplayer]

But as per some PP experts he’s been found out and should be dropped

Lol drop the only modern day batsman in the side? Ridiculous.

Babar in..if he tuk tuks, he must be given a thrashing in the dressing room.

 

[badsha001]

Send hassan ali

 

[JattMaula]

If only Shehzad was partnering Zaman in ODIs.

 

[Saeed]

Expect Amin to get out soon. Today is Babar’s chance to show he can hit out when not under pressure.

 

[badsha001]

This is **, send a slogger not a accumulater...

 

[Madplayer]

Should send in Faheem

Not its too early. He should be send in if a wicket falls in 14th over.

 

[angrypathan]

Fakhar gone too, not good, bit of a nothing shot to be honest

 

[Madplayer]

Fakhar :

Idiotic , he needed to stay in there. Ridiculous.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar bye

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fakhar's innings proves we have to get in the hacks we have in domestic cricket and give them license to go out there and give it a go from ball one.

Well played Ahmed Shehzad.

 

[Naim]

Why they sent babar . send faheem go for kill

 

[Space Cat]

That should put the breaks on a bit.

Great knock by Fakhar.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Collapse has started

 

[MMHS]

May be, today was good call to send Hasan at 3 against spinners

 

[Usman Chadda]

Man that was arguably one of the worst deliveries you can get a wicket on. You destroy good bowlers and get out to numpty like de Grandhomme?!

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Out

 

[Madplayer]

Should try to go at 8 an over for next 3 overs. Dont let the wheels come off.

 

[Saeed]

Send Faheem Ashraf now, Amin/Sarfraz will kill the momentum.

 

[Oligochaetes]

With babar at the crease, Pakistan will struggle to get to 180

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Next few to come in Amin, Haris who aren't even T20 players

 

[Acricfan]

Should have sent that into the stands

 

[Madplayer]

100 from 11 overs. Not bad at all. No need to get 110 from next 9. Need someone to score a quick fire 50 off 25 balls.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Straight boundaries are tiny here, Pakistan need 180 as a minimum.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar will slow us down here. Faheem or Hasan should be next in.

Waqar with his rubbish "these two batsmen can take their time". No wonder we bred mediocrity in the last 4 years or so.

 

[another drop catch]

Shehzad :

A good innings. Full of intent. Could have been better though. But overall not bad on his comeback.

thamks for atleast appreciating shezzy

 

[Madplayer]

Waqar saying "Pakistan have arrived"

 

[Saeed]

Kaptaan Sarfraz want to get some easy runs, he get to bat at a good strike rate.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Anything below 180 will be chased.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz has put on some far alright

 

[Madplayer]

thamks for atleast appreciating shezzy

He deserves it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fat*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Run rate going down every over now.

 

[Madplayer]

8 an over will do in the next couple of overs but after that need 12 an over.

 

[Pete Rose]

the two new guys trying a bit too hard

 

[Naim]

whit is this yar. at this stage they are taking singles

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Now watch pakistan crawl to 150

 

[badsha001]

Who read, mujhe kyun nikala

 

[angrypathan]

Good to see Sarfraz sweeping well again

 

[Smudger]

the two new guys trying a bit too hard

How

 

[angrypathan]

What was Babar doing there as the throw came in? And a fine shot from him for

 

[Pete Rose]

sarfaraz playing his moin khan shot

 

[Saeed]

These two are not going to hit any sixes, hopefully they will keep rotating the strike.

 

[MRSN]

lol here comes our captain when things are so easy for batting.

 

[Madplayer]

Sarfaraz's running is poor..he cant run fast.

 

[Pete Rose]

How

over hitting the spinner.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar Azam. He is class. Bloody hell he is class. You cannot watch that shot and say he's not class.

 

[Madplayer]

This is the 2nd time sarfaraz refused a 2 there. He needs to be better than this.

 

[angrypathan]

These 2 playing brilliantly at the moment, consolidating well after the 2 wickets but rotating the strike well with the odd boundary to keep the scoreboard ticking along. Setting up a good platform for the lower order to go ham

 

[babajee]

Babar Azam. He is class. Bloody hell he is class. You cannot watch that shot and say he's not class.

I don’t know why people doubt him.

But I want to see him trying to dominate the bowlers

 

[Saeed]

Sarfraz is so slow, make him run 3 miles every day after the series.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Sarfraz with poor running here, missed couple of twos

 

[badsha001]

Missed 2 runs in the last over due to Sarfraz tummy...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lively

 

[Acricfan]

 

[shariqnoor]

We would miss Malik's hitting here. He would've gotten 12/over in the last 5. Let's see who can put their hand up today cause we need 60 in the last 5 for sure.

 

[dhonixi]

Babar maintaining his average

 

[Extra_Cover]

Singles at this stage wont hurt New Zealand

 

[Madplayer]

From next over Pakistan needs to go over 12 an over. No excuses now..they have settled in.

 

[angrypathan]

Need to keep nudging around till the 15th over and then wreck havoc

 

[Smudger]

Babar maintaining his average

King kohli would have got a 10 ball 100
