NZ-PAK-BD Tri-series | New Zealand v Pakistan | Christchurch | 14 October 2022 | New Zealand innings

[Rana]

That was pretty poor

Easy run out missed

 

[imshally81]

Poor stuff from Rizwan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan's bowling mojo will take them far enough in world T20.

 

[Kianig89]

Another stern test awaits Pakistani batsman

 

[IAJ]

Run out chance missed

 

[daytrader]

Run rate dropped down below 8.

That's what wickets will do. Another couple here and Pak can get them within 160

 

[Rana]

Another wicket coming I recon

 

[Snowflake]

Easy runout missed

 

[Kianig89]

Naseem Shah the bubble seems to be bursting

 

[Cric1234]

Hopefully Wasim doesn’t get phainty in the last 5 overs they are crucial here.

 

[imshally81]

Babar with another drop

 

[JilaWatan]

Rizwan clearly rushed it. He had plenty of time

 

[Rana]

Babar dropping catches in a final

We’ve seen this before haven’t we?

 

[IAJ]

Oh yaar

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

A run out missed and then babe dropped the catch again...

 

[IAJ]

Was a tough one though,

What a shot there

 

[Kianig89]

170 is sure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is copying Kohli toomuch lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar and rizwan need stick. They've relaxed

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar drops another easy catch.

Pakistan's horrible fielding is so just so consistently horrible. Gotta feel for these bowlers having to bowl with such awful fielders.

 

[jnaveen1980]

By williamson's current standard this is like 200 strike rate innings lol

 

[Kianig89]

Babar enroute to making Pakistan chokers

 

[Rana]

Rizwan’s attitude behind the stumps is on the Sarfaraz way

 

[Suleiman]

Babar is a garbage fielder these days. Should be fined 20% of match fees

 

[Shariq7]

Are they not paying our fielding coach well? Either give him a raise or fire him!

 

[IAJ]

Still one over of spin left

 

[Ahmed216]

Was a tough one though,

What a shot there

DEFINITELY tough by babar's recent standards

 

[SentOff]

Our fielding is embarrassing.

Rizwan's comic act behind the wicket is entering Kamran Akmal territory. Babar drops catches for fun nowadays.

That is our captain and vice-captain folks.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is a garbage fielder these days. Should be fined 20% of match fees

He has become a bit chubby.

 

[MenInG]

Think Babar just dropped the match!

 

[Rana]

Should have bowled Naseem again

 

[Suleiman]

Babar dropping catches in a final

We’ve seen this before haven’t we?

Always bringing his C game to final / decider as usual.

 

[Kianig89]

even our bowling changes are textbook

 

[Shafi]

Majed should get another 5 years contact.

 

[Cric1234]

New Zealand have plenty of batting quick 20s and 30s are required.

 

[IAJ]

Poor bowling

 

[Nasty Naz]

No team is winning with fielding this bad. T20 is a game that's generally decided by 10-15 runs and Pakistan's lack of abilities to stop boundaries and take easy catches is a massive hindrance.

 

[Rana]

What a shooooootttttt

 

[Kianig89]

NZ has one to one power hitterss

 

[Gollum]

I was greatly impressed by fielding of our women's team. Not this men's team. I probably haven't witnessed a direct hit from more than 10 feet in a long time. Mediocre on field skills embarrassing honestly.

 

[Cric1234]

Kane showing Babar how to play an innings in a final.

 

[Rana]

Ladies and gentleman

What a plaaayah

Whaaataa Plaayyaaaah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Willamson is a weird guy. 90% of the matches he would look hopeless. Suddenly he would unleash a knock like this. Did in UAE final too.

 

[IAJ]

Captain’s innings. Well played Sir.

 

[Rana]

Foundation set

180 is there for the taking

 

[jnaveen1980]

No team is winning with fielding this bad. T20 is a game that's generally decided by 10-15 runs and Pakistan's lack of abilities to stop boundaries and take easy catches is a massive hindrance.

India will say hold my beer. They are terribly bad as well.

 

[Kianig89]

Thats almost 15-16 T20s Pak have played in a month before WC, all the weakness and mistakes are identified but the issue is who will rectify them

 

[Cric1234]

Foundation set

180 is there for the taking

Easy they should target 190 expect an anda performance from Pakistan with the bat the legendary batsmen to go missing again.

 

[IAJ]

190 is on here

 

[Kianig89]

Nz entered beast mode

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kane is such a busy player. He reminds me of Pippin from lord of the rings. Always busy

 

[Rana]

Easy they should target 190 expect an anda performance from Pakistan with the bat the legendary batsmen to go missing again.

I don’t want Babar and Rizwan to get out before 8 overs

 

[Kianig89]

160+SR theyre coasting

 

[imshally81]

Out

Williamson gone

 

[Fazzy321]

Poor bowling. Not seen one Yorker tonight

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Baber is going to keep us losing matches with his butterfingers.

 

[IAJ]

Gone

 

[Rana]

Poor over for Kiwis

 

[Kianig89]

huge wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Williamson is not a power hitter. He is more a smart hitter. Looks like he was unable to reach.

 

[Suleiman]

Momentum shifted to NZ again after drop catch.

Need to hide Babar somewhere else in the field.

Edit: never mind, another wicket goes

 

[Ab Fan]

Kane is such a busy player. He reminds me of Pippin from lord of the rings. Always busy

Where are you watching this game?

 

[Cric1234]

Neesham is dangerous 25 of 10 type of player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Whatt a clutch player Williamson is. He needs a special appreciation. It is impossible to look terrible mostly and suddenly click in the final. Be it is last world T20 final or this final or Test championship final.

 

[Suleiman]

Williamson is not a power hitter. He is more a smart hitter. Looks like he was unable to reach.

Agreed. He’s insanely skillful at playing the field. Second to peak Kohli of this era.

 

[IAJ]

Excellent over by Shadab

 

[daytrader]

Good over from Shadab. Wouldn't mind one here from Iftikhar

 

[jnaveen1980]

where are you watching this game?

espn

 

[Sherazkhalid]

stop it under 165 and we got this.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan can still close this out below 170

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor over for Kiwis

Most spinners can only dresm of bowling so well at this stage of innings with 7 wickets left. Well done draamybaaz

 

[jnaveen1980]

Teams can lose their way even if one batsman struggles

 

[Kianig89]

excellent Rauf

 

[Rana]

Rauf slower ball is very hard to pick these days

 

[Ahmed216]

Nice over from the rock thrower

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Break those stumps!!

 

[Rana]

170 max still on

Hopefully no poor overs by Pak bowlers

 

[Kianig89]

Damage control

 

[Kianig89]

Still our fragile batting will be tested

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mitchell is a big loss for NZ.
