New Zealand vs Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Mount Maunganui | Jan 28, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[Smudger]

Injured.

This is easily our best side.

Guptill
Munro
Ryder
Anderson
Bruce
CdG
Phillips
Santner
Southee
Ish
Boult

This is a format of hacks and power hitters, the likes of Kane and Taylor don't belong here.

The sooner selectors realize this, the better.

Does kohli belong here

 

[Aman]

Pakistan have gotten their selections right this series with a good mix of power hitters who can change the game with a quick 20-30.

 

[shariqnoor]

Right now, you get Guptill, you win the match.

 

[QalandarFan]

Injured.

Ahh, would love to watch Lockie and Milne bowling in tandem. Sheer pace from both ends!

 

[Aman]

Does kohli belong here

Kohli is one of the few exceptions.

This format is about scoring runs quickly, a quick 20-30 could be a difference between winning and losing. That's why you should have several players like this in your batting line up.

 

[LordEddardStark]

What is Sarfaraz planning for 3 overs of Faheem? We are playing with 5 bowlers. Haris maybe?

[Aman]

Should have sent in Colin ahead of Kitchen.

He's getting killed by spin.

 

[shariqnoor]

Not much between the teams right now. we were 72/2. NZ are 65/1

 

[Aman]

Umar Amin's innings was a match winning, it turned things around for Pakistan.

 

[LordEddardStark]

No matter how much you squeeze, till the time Guptill is there, it doesn't matter.

 

[QalandarFan]

Good over for NZ.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli has an avg of 52 in T20s

 

[Smudger]

Kohli is one of the few exceptions.

This format is about scoring runs quickly, a quick 20-30 could be a difference between winning and losing. That's why you should have several players like this in your batting line up.

Your way of thinking is wrong. Even in t20s you need a base to fire in last 5 overs. Pak were able to get 181 due to a base set by top order batters

 

[Aman]

No matter how much you squeeze, till the time Guptill is there, it doesn't matter.

He can only do so much on his own.

He's not Gayle, he's probably the only one who could pull this off.

As McMillian said, it's about quick 20s and 30s now.

Kitchen should be hitting.

 

[QalandarFan]

When Guptil gets out it’s game over.

 

[Aman]

Your way of thinking is wrong. Even in t20s you need a base to fire in last 5 overs. Pak were able to get 181 due to a base set by top order batters

Guptill is our base.

He takes a while but it's worth it as he can switch gears. Anderson can do the same.

 

[Shafi]

Need Guptil Wicket!!!!

 

[Shafi]

When Guptil gets out it’s game over.

Not that if he gets out in 19th over!!!!! we need him now

 

[Aman]

Kitchen needs to be hitting, we don't have that many balls.

Guptill bats the innings, the others hit.

 

[shariqnoor]

Guptill will win this on his own if he is not dismissed.

 

[Aman]

Guptill will win this on his own if he is not dismissed.

Not if the batsmen around him are eating up balls and getting the RRR up to 20.

 

[Aman]

We need a big 20+ over.

Kitchen needs to hit or get out... we have a lot of wickets left..

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz is such a lion

 

[Aman]

Kitchen needs to go after Shadab.

 

[Railu Katta]

Sarfraz is such a lion

because he yells at fielders?

 

[Aman]

How is that not wide/

 

[Aman]

Another useless knock.

 

[badsha001]

Sarfraz is such a lion

Not sure if I heard it right but that was some vulgar language...

 

[Aman]

16 (19) and 9 (14) )

Munro being missed big time.

 

[imshally81]

Great bowling by Shadab...

 

[Saeed]

NZ should send Grandhomme in.

 

[LordEddardStark]

98 in 8 overs is not that difficult. More so when 5 of these will be bowled by Ruman, Fahim and Yamin.

 

[msb314]

got him!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Anari Kitchen

 

[shariqnoor]

Not sure if getting Kitchen out was beneficial to Pakistan.

 

[DeadBall]

Again, wrong guy out.

 

[Rayyman]

Shaddy strikes

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beautiful bowling from Shadab

 

[imshally81]

 

[GrandMaster]

How is that not wide/

Pathetic umpiring

 

[Aman]

Put that wicket down on Kitchen and Kane.

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Yeaaaa shadab

 

[babajee]

Best leggie in the world

 

[hafeezrocks]

Guptill gone.

 

[msb314]

Guptill gone!!!!!!

 

[shariqnoor]

Shadab's spell has been incredible!!!!

 

[Rayyman]

LET"S GOOOO!!!!!

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Best leggie in the world

He is hafeez's long term replacement. Potential to be world class one day.

 

[LordEddardStark]

O Yesss. There is that wicket. Shadab is the man.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yes! Champion

 

[hafeezrocks]

Man of the Match - Kane Williamson for Pakistan.

 

[DeadBall]

Yes, now we get CDG and its game.

 

[babajee]

He is hafeez's long term replacement. Potential to be world class one day.

Is he not already?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It's too late for NZ now

 

[UP]

Thank god Guptill is gone.

 

[Aman]

Man of the Match - Kane Williamson for Pakistan.

And he'll still continue to be picked and lose us matches.

 

[Aman]

It's too late for NZ now

Own worst enemy.

Absolutely garbage from Kane and Kitchen eating up balls, they would have been better off hitting out once they were getting worked over.

 

[LordEddardStark]

4-0-19-2
Shadab is the MVP.

 

[Shafi]

Great comeback by us!!!!!!! Well done Sadab.
Wish Amir improves himself

 

[GrandMaster]

This is the reason why no IPL franchise show any interest in Guptil, he cant play SPIN

 

[Aman]

Pakistan all over these geeks.

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Is he not already?

Yep you could definitely say that. Most charismatic player to come into the team in a long time.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled

 

[Rayyman]

Guptill looks like a ghost.

 

[babajee]

LOL this is nowhere near our best bowling attack as well )

 

[LordEddardStark]

Grandpa gone. Match is in the bag.

 

[hafeezrocks]

NZ choking )

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Yamin gets his first.Pak on Top.89/4

 

[Aman]

LOL this is nowhere near our best bowling attack as well )

And this is nowhere near our best batting side.

Ranch, Kitchen and Phillips were picked to test players.

Two of them don't belong at this level the other is out of form.

 

[msb314]

grandhome gone!

 

[Railu Katta]

Yamin proving why he deserves to be in the team. He has performed better than Faheem but they should both play in ODIs and T20s.

 

[DeadBall]

Game. Set. Match. Good end to the tour.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ross Taylor needs to attack from the get go if they are to win

 

[Shafi]

This win will help us to get rid of Hafeez permanently.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Taylor last hope for NZ, veteran player

 

[babajee]

And this is nowhere near our best batting side.

Ranch, Kitchen and Phillips were picked to test players.

Two of them don't belong at this level the other is out of form.

The whole tour we haven’t had our best batting side or best bowling side LOL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yamin has bowled very well today

 

[Arham_PakFan]

This is why Yanin deserves his spot in the team.
