NZ-PAK-BD Tri-series | New Zealand v Pakistan | Christchurch | 11 October 2022 | Pakistan innings

[Rana]

Dropped MAsooD on 6

 

[Rana]

Very hard chance tbh

 

[Suleiman]

Oh man shan masood is such useless player cant connect the ball ..and batting at # 3 critical position . Who selected him

Brainless selector who only saw numbers without context. People hate on Rizwan but it’s Shan who plays at SR of 90-100 and only hits out toward the end of his innings

 

[Rana]

Masood showing intent and going at run a ball

 

[Suleiman]

Good drop catch, that’s definitely going to hurt Pak FAR MORE

 

[Justcrazy]

When it is just 120 balls , Pakistan is not utilizing the batting properly

 

[Kroll]

Need to get Haider coming in next and then Asif. Both of them need to have time in the middle with a license to play their natural game.

Babar also needs to go hard from here on and show everybody, including himself, that he can do it.

Probably be Shadab ahead of Asif unless its less than two overs or less to go, they have some weird strategy for Asif.

 

[jnaveen1980]

strategic drop? Tough one. But NZlanders usually take these catch. Honkong boy for some reason didn't appear to run straight.

 

[Rana]

Deserved 4 on that shot

 

[Suleiman]

Probably be Shadab ahead of Asif unless its less than two overs or less to go, they have some weird strategy for Asif.

Personally I’d have even sent Shadab at 3. Shan can’t hit spin or pace, at least Shadab would’ve feasted on spinners

 

[Bilal7]

Probably be Shadab ahead of Asif unless its less than two overs or less to go, they have some weird strategy for Asif.

That's fine but these are the kind of games when you give your players the opportunity to experiment.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Masood gets that away

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan needs someone like Afridi slotted up the order somewhere to take on these spinners.

 

[AAli98]

Struggling to find a worst middle order in international cricket history than paks current one, batting falls off a cliff once openers go.

May aswell play with 9 bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to tell top 5 that they need to play impactful cameos instead of meaningless 50s

 

[Rana]

Shan Miller holes out

 

[Kroll]

what was that Masood?

 

[Bilal7]

12 overs to go and at least 7 guys in the shed who can bat. Come on guys, go for it!

 

[Suleiman]

Pakistan needs someone like Afridi slotted up the order somewhere to take on these spinners.

It’s Shadab.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lack of timing and power once again.

 

[msb314]

Masood is so bad

 

[Rana]

what was that Masood?

No point blaming him bro

Uss bechare ki itni hi game hai

 

[Suleiman]

Need to start scoring at 9 rpo now.

I’m dreaming, but it’s good to dream big

 

[ammar_merry]

Masood showing intent and going at run a ball

Thats his class.

 

[Kroll]

Power hitter Shady boi in.

 

[Bilal7]

Good. Another guy goes while trying to hit a six. We need more of this intent. Much better than just playing at a run-a-ball.

 

[Rana]

Shawn Michaels Shadab at the crease

 

[Suleiman]

Really hope that seals Shan’s career. He’s only good for t20 leagues where he is Gayle

 

[SalimBhai]

That was a heaven and did not clear inner circle.

 

[Rana]

Babar casually 20 off 18

 

[Bilal7]

Shadab Khan Afridi in.

The new Boom Boom.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is an air of predictability about their approach. When the loose balls are on the offer they hit boundaries. When they are up against series of half decent balls they either slow down and lose the wickets.

 

[Suleiman]

Good. Another guy goes while trying to hit a six. We need more of this intent. Much better than just playing at a run-a-ball.

Agreed. Glad all Pak fans are United against our typical approach.

 

[crazyfaizee]

Masood out .. thanks God .good riddance .. Mark my works masood at 3 critical position will badly hurt pakistan world cup chances . .. He doesnt simply have skillset for this format. . He should excuse himself from T20 but unfortunately most of are player selfish..

 

[Rana]

Shadab shot!

 

[Kroll]

Oooooft shot

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be pitch is harder to bat on. Let us see. Two teams have to bat

 

[msb314]

Good Shadab

 

[Rana]

Masood out .. thanks God .good riddance .. Mark my works masood at 3 critical position will badly hurt pakistan world cup chances . .. He doesnt simply have skillset for this format. . He should excuse himself from T20 but unfortunately most of are player selfish..

Papa ki dream hai mai T20 khelu

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is not out. It touched his bat first.

 

[Bilal7]

Waqar is hilarious. Two overs ago it was an easy, dry pitch with no bounce and the Pakistani batsmen would like it. Now it is a "different" pitch and it would not be easy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Middle order continues to be problem

 

[jnaveen1980]

oh pad first.

 

[msb314]

Can’t this stupid 3rd umpire see it pitched outside off??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Didn't look out in real t ime. Good decision umpire

 

[Rana]

What is Babar doing?

 

[Kroll]

Get Asif in next, go for nuclear option!

Edit Shadab out, get Asif in now

 

[msb314]

RR below 7

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Waqar is hilarious. Two overs ago it was an easy, dry pitch with no bounce and the Pakistani batsmen would like it. Now it is a "different" pitch and it would not be easy.

He is just killing his time with no insights and material.

 

[heddie19]

Shaddy gone.

 

[Rana]

Grounds are too big for our boys

 

[msb314]

Oh dear

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pitch is not easy to play. They need to have patience and hold it together till the end. 155-160 would be a good total here.

 

[Rana]

Santner picking up 2 wickets on an off day

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure Shadab belongs to the class of pedigree no.4 batsman. He can occasionally click. How do you compare him with Malik?

 

[D/DAhmed]

Masood is so bad

This is honestly all he’s capable of, can’t believe we have such a talentless professional player in a country of 200 million people

 

[Rana]

He is just killing his time with no insights and material.

And getting paid well for it

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Three down

 

[Rana]

Oh Yes Chacha is in!!

 

[Justcrazy]

I am not sure Shadab belongs to the class of pedigree no.4 batsman. He can occasionally click. How do you compare him with Malik?

Pakistan do not have options.

 

[Bilal7]

Okay, now we need Misbah back.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I am not sure Shadab belongs to the class of pedigree no.4 batsman. He can occasionally click. How do you compare him with Malik?

Pak fans and PCB doesn't understand this. This is never going to be a permanent solution.

 

[Rana]

Boys strike rate is around 110

 

[jattafridi]

Ifti need atleast 5 sixes

 

[Suleiman]

He is just killing his time with no insights and material.

Describes his coaching stint. Just bases opinion on the situation without any insight or foresight

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan do not have options.

You need specialist batsman at 4 or 5 not bit part players. Pakistan has plenty of them starting from 4. Someone who can bowl a bit bat a bit.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Iftikhar is so slow in responding to quick singles, understandable considering his age.

 

[Bilal7]

Haider or Asif should have come in.

Babar needs to get a 50. I want our boys #1 and #2 when the world cup starts.

 

[SamNJ]

Dry turning track this
Shadab, Nawaz and Ifti will ball a lot of overs here.

 

[Rana]

Conway is such a terrible keeper

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Turning out we don't do well when Rizwan falls early.
Shan Masood has been turning out to be a very average investment for t20i side. He is a quintessential county cricketer.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Santner has this round arm action that bothers a lot of batsman. He troubled Indians in every world T20.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has to open with spinners here. Pitch is very dry.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Dry turning track this
Shadab, Nawaz and Ifti will ball a lot of overs here.

Agreed ! need to have some runs to defend. 160 would be competitive total here.

 

[Rana]

I’m going to watch paint dry now

 

[crazyfaizee]

Our saviour .. our middle order chacha has only 1 fifty out of 34 matches lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Agreed ! need to have some runs to defend. 160 would be competitive total here.

140 is enough here.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar gone, poor innings once again.

 

[Bilal7]

You need specialist batsman at 4 or 5 not bit part players. Pakistan has plenty of them starting from 4. Someone who can bowl a bit bat a bit.

Shadab is one of the best leggies in the world and Nawaz is one of the best SLA in the world. They can both bat a bit but are proper bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Babaar gone
