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

[msb314]

brilliant by Fakhar!

 

[DeadBall]

Dispatched by Fakhar.

 

[QalandarFan]

Decent powerplay although we could have got 10-15 more runs had we not played as many dots and rotated the strike a bit more.

 

[QalandarFan]

Sodhi lets bash him.

 

[QalandarFan]

No ball free hit time off a spinner!

 

[babajee]

haha Babar

 

[QalandarFan]

Wish Fakhar was on strike for that free hit...

 

[babajee]

Wish Fakhar was on strike for that free hit...

He’d probably have gotten stumped

 

[LordEddardStark]

What's wrong with these commentators. He called it No ball. It wasn't one. So? Get over it.

 

[QalandarFan]

NZ commentators if the roles were reversed and this happened to a Pak bowler they wouldn’t have talked about it.

 

[msb314]

** no ball haha!

 

[QalandarFan]

Santner on come on Fakhar smash him into the stands!

 

[imshally81]

Ankle injury

Oh.... Very bad...

 

[MMHS]

When does the Aussie Open final starts?

 

[QalandarFan]

Boundaries have been dried up.

 

[Shafi]

Babar reminds me Russel Arnold of Sri Lanka with no power in the muscle.

 

[babajee]

Need to start having a go... plenty of wickets in hand

 

[QalandarFan]

Just going at a tad above 7 rpo.

 

[LordEddardStark]

57/1 after 8. They are least 20 runs short at this point in time.

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to start having a go... plenty of wickets in hand

And while the spinners are still on.

 

[msb314]

good running by Babar!

 

[Railu Katta]

Babar shouldnt bat in T20s. He kills all momentum with his scrawny shots...

 

[QalandarFan]

How do you not dispatch that trash delivery for a boundary.

 

[QalandarFan]

More of this Fakhar

 

[Madplayer]

They have run well.

 

[msb314]

Babar should really find the boundary there...

 

[yasir]

Really poor from Babar, how could you not hit such a half tracker for six, now second time

 

[Madplayer]

Babar :

 

[babajee]

Soft

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fakhar is the lone warrior.

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar gone, just threw it away

 

[QalandarFan]

Hopefully Sarfraz continues on batting the way he did last time around.

 

[msb314]

Babar

 

[Railu Katta]

I have always said Babar should be nowwhere near the T20 team. He has zero power...

 

[imshally81]

Pitch lookz not easy as last t20 one..

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to up the ante going to slow at the moment on this belter.

 

[GrandMaster]

How do you not dispatch that trash delivery for a boundary.

Babar did the same in the previous match. He took singles on full toss balls, any other one down batsman would have despatched them out of the park.

 

[LordEddardStark]

Shahzad and Babar have been trash in this innings. Potentially match losing innings by both.

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar did the same in the previous match. He took singles on full toss balls, any other one down batsman would have despatched them out of the park.

I was honestly shocked when I saw the scorecard and saw babar scored a fifty at a 175 SR.

 

[Saeed]

Run rate is going down, we really need few big overs. Right now we should have been close to 100.

 

[shariqnoor]

I don't think this is a 180-190 pitch. 165 would be a good total.

 

[QalandarFan]

Nice from Fakhar

 

[msb314]

much needed boundary by Fakhar!

 

[LordEddardStark]

I don't think this is a 180-190 pitch. 165 would be a good total.

No this is easily a 190-200 pitch. It's Shahzad and Babar which have made it seem difficult.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is not a 200 wicket. The ball is coming on very slow.

 

[QalandarFan]

I don't think this is a 180-190 pitch. 165 would be a good total.

Not as good as the last one and the boundaries are a bit bigger but we should have still been about 15 runs ahead had we not wasted so many balls at the start.

 

[msb314]

useful runs!

 

[imshally81]

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz with the splits again )

 

[GrandMaster]

I was honestly shocked when I saw the scorecard and saw babar scored a fifty at a 175 SR.

He did play some good shot in the end. But we can expect that kind of inning from Babar (170+ SR) once in a blue moon.

 

[msb314]

Sarfraz haha!

 

[Madplayer]

Fakhar is a tremendous hitter. Absolutely ferocious hitter of the ball.

 

[QalandarFan]

Nice Fakhar keep if up

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

lol sarfraz

 

[msb314]

good momentum by Fakhar!

 

[DeadBall]

Saefi back to doing gymnastics

 

[LordEddardStark]

Lovely batting by Fakhar. Rotating the strike at ease and a boundary every 5-6 balls. That's the way it's done.

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz is hurt.

 

[QalandarFan]

Santner back on Fakhr should be licking his lips.

 

[shariqnoor]

Stretched his hamstring. No more getting 2's now.

 

[LordEddardStark]

Beautiful shot. Perfect.

 

[QalandarFan]

from Sarfraz needed that.

 

[GrandMaster]

Sarfraz with the splits again )

It’s quite a risky shot and technically wrong tbh. He need some assistance from a batting coach.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back

 

[msb314]

good by Sarfraz!

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is not a 200 wicket. The ball is coming on very slow.

 

[Madplayer]

Great batting by sarfaraz. Good shots

 

[QalandarFan]

Again great shot for

 

[Madplayer]

Aim at 170

 

[msb314]

another 4!

 

[Syed1]

Specialist captain and tailender technique batting well together.... PP experts no where to be seen

 

[AAli98]

Baba Azam total flop, but totally fine for pak batting standards.

 

[QalandarFan]

It’s quite a risky shot and technically wrong tbh. He need some assistance from a batting coach.

He plays it well if you look at him during 2014/15 he played it beautifully, heck he even played it against pacers. Just needs to lose some weight and get his fitness up.

 

[msb314]

useful runs!

 

[Justcrazy]

97 / 2

12 . 2 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Brilliant running!

 

[shariqnoor]

Although 170 would be a good total on this track and probably what the pitch dictates, but we would need 180+ to compensate for the fact that Hasan Ali is not playing. Have very little faith in our bowling today.

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar is the only real batsman we have

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistani pace bowlers need to bowl smart on this wicket.

 

[QalandarFan]

Tucked away, and 100 up!
