Pakistan (112/1) crush South Africa (110) by a resounding 9-wickets triumph to level the 3-match series at 1-1

[GoUgandaCranes]

The smog looks miserable.

We really need to do something about this or move cricketing centers to smaller cities that are not effected by this much smog.

 

[mango_bite77]

Still no Wasim Jnr ? Not sure what he needs to be part of 11.

 

[Devadwal]

Streaming Quality is Very poor.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

three down now

 

[stani_pak]

What in Gods name is going on, my wife calls me to grab some chai, I come back to my room and 3rd wicket falls (I have missed every wicket in real time) hahaha what is going on today hahahah

 

[Devadwal]

This guy Salman Mirza is proper trundler, Commies saying he is bowling slower Bowl forget this is his AVG speed.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan drops a sitter

 

[mango_bite77]

Dropped by Mirz

 

[mango_bite77]

Pakistan drops a sitter

Good for Pakistan, dont wanna see Naseem in national side by taking fluke wickets

 

[stani_pak]

Mirza seems like he will have to work on fielding commentators mentioed it too

 

[Champ_Pal]

Great start for Pakistan.

Not much batting to come after Brewis and Bretzke. Never seen Ferrira bat.

 

[Devadwal]

@Ahmed216 @DeadlyVenom South African batsman can't see the ball due to pathetic condition at the stadium. Pollution level is too High.

Remember your statement during india vs England match against Kolkata . Take it back now

 

[Champ_Pal]

Those 2 fielding mishaps can play on Mirza's mind.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan missing catch , poor fielding , these may hurt in the end. This is not easy surface to bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beauty ! That is a good ball .

Salman gets his third.

His slower ball is very good.

 

[stani_pak]

He might drop them, he might misfield, but the man can bowl, and finally this wicket I see in real time did not miss it hahaha

 

[mango_bite77]

What a ball by Mirza

 

[Devadwal]

This is good Bowl with variation.

 

[Champ_Pal]

That was a 125k leg spinner.

Brilliant from Mirza.

 

[mango_bite77]

He might drop them, he might misfield, but the man can bowl, and finally this wicket I see in real time did not miss it hahaha

True, he needs learn inswing to right handers.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Will SA cross 100?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Akram like dismissal

 

[Justcrazy]

23 . 4

after 5 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

Salman Mirza is on a roll. Great bowling.

SA - 23/4.

 

[mango_bite77]

Will SA cross 100?

Yes they will and they should. Dont wanna give excuse to Babar for not scoring enough runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

spinner brought in here

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Should bowl out Mirza's full quota now. He won't be useful when the ball isn't swinging

 

[stani_pak]

Faheem Ashraf should bowl some overs today no point in leaving him out in terms of bowling

 

[NeVerMind]

Faheem needs to be given a bowl too as he also a savvy bowler...

 

[saabir]

Mirza is bowling beautifully. This is what happened when to give chance to fresh legs . Pakistan fast bowling problem is they are only rotating Shaheen, Haris , Naseem, Hasan Ali , Faheem Ashraf.. they need to expand their pool of fast bowlers and bring few more new bowlers .

 

[cricfan432]

Today salman mirza saved us but who tomorrow? Need to fix our batting. Get rid of babar and usman, bring back fakhar and haris/nafay

 

[Justcrazy]

Brewis is looking to take on the bowling here.

 

[Ahmed216]

@Ahmed216 @DeadlyVenom South African batsman can't see the ball due to pathetic condition at the stadium. Pollution level is too High.

Remember your statement during india vs England match against Kolkata . Take it back now

I don't remember what I said.

And this is Punjab bro. It's combination of pollution and fog because it's almost November.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Should bring Faheem Ashraf into the attack. He bowled well in Lahore in the PSL.

 

[Rana]

“Brevis like Mirza is a natural T20 player”

-Ramiz Raja

 

[mango_bite77]

Today salman mirza saved us but who tomorrow? Need to fix our batting. Get rid of babar and usman, bring back fakhar and haris/nafay

Haris given chance and failed. Nafay too new for national side. Let him have a good PSL season at least.

 

[Rana]

Why Ramiz and Sohail always have to be paired together?

Two of the most toxic commentators in the world!

 

[Devadwal]

I hope Rachin ravindra like injury not happened here due to pathetic condition at the ground.

 

[saabir]

They should also give chance to Usman Tariq and Samad to see how they perform before finalising the WC squad.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why Wasim JR is being ignored?

 

[Rana]

Brevis
Ferreira
Linde
Bosch

All bat

Don’t let them off the hook

 

[mango_bite77]

Baby AB

 

[saabir]

Haris given chance and failed. Nafay too new for national side. Let him have a good PSL season at least.

Nafay is overhyped batter. He does not have the temperament to succeed at the top level..

 

[mango_bite77]

Why Wasim JR is being ignored?

Shaheen & Wasim should be our regular white ball bowlers. But u know it is PCB, can't expect sane stuff.

 

[stani_pak]

Why Wasim JR is being ignored?

That is the million dollar question, why is he being ignored. He can be key player for Pak.

 

[Ahmed216]

Nafay is overhyped batter. He does not have the temperament to succeed at the top level..

Nafay is worse than Haris. Enough said

 

[stani_pak]

What a six by Brevisss

 

[Rana]

Oh bhai

Serious ho jao!

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen & Wasim should be our regular white ball bowlers. But u know it is PCB, can't expect sane stuff.

Salman Mirza Bowl way better than Shaheen, Naseem . He should get more chance regular

 

[stani_pak]

Great comeback by Faheem, since his return to international cricket he has been pretty solid, bowls within himself, great stuff

 

[Ahmed216]

Chal nikal faux AB

 

[saabir]

Abrar and Sufiyan are both hit and miss. They looks so good in one match then i next they looks totally lost. Usman Tariq and Faisal Akram should also given a chance. Tariq is a clever bowler while Faisal is more gifted then Sufiyan and Abrar. He is probably the best among pakistan current spinner..he is proper spinner like Kuldeep ..he should be backed properly ..

 

[Rana]

Nandre Burger isn’t playing today is he?

 

[mango_bite77]

Nafay is overhyped batter. He does not have the temperament to succeed at the top level..

He needs to prove himself at higher stage which PSL currently for him. He has all the shots to succeed, just needs to play more competitive cricket.

 

[Rana]

Nafay is overhyped batter. He does not have the temperament to succeed at the top level..

You people would probably say the same about Dewald Brevis tbf

 

[Kianig89]

Faheem gets a wicket , stop the press

 

[saabir]

Look like it's going to be 2nd one sided contest of the day. Earlier India play poorly against Aussies now SA struggling big time.. SA should score atleast 140-150 to make it proper contest.

 

[mango_bite77]

Nafay is worse than Haris. Enough said

How? How many games he has played for Pakistan to draw that comparison?

 

[Kianig89]

Whatever But bowlers are doing their job , hopefully no blunder bowling changes by Agha

 

[Rana]

Nafay is worse than Haris. Enough said

Enjoy the match.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Someone was making fun of Salman Mirza's speed in the thread above.

 

[saabir]

You people would probably say the same about Dewald Brevis tbf

Can't compare Brevis with Nafay. Dewald is the future of SA cricket . He is highly talented while Nafay looks tulla . Saw Nafay,s few game in some leagues or A games he was clueless against little swing

 

[Ahmed216]

How? How many games he has played for Pakistan to draw that comparison?

Correction : Nafay will do worse than Haris at international level.

That's my assessment of him. Wish him good luck though and will be happy if he succeeds if and when he gets his chances

 

[mango_bite77]

I hope SA ends up with ~140-150 at least. Dont want Babar fans to justify 40(35) just because it was a low scoring game.

 

[Ahmed216]

Enjoy the match.

Sure

 

[mango_bite77]

Correction : Nafay will do worse than Haris at international level.

That's my assessment of him. Wish him good luck though and will be happy if he succeeds if and when he gets his chances

And your assessment is based on what? One has not even played 30 domestic games combined and other has been part of team for last 3 years. Unless Nafay plays for Pak and fails like Haris, u can't just rule him out just because u think so. The reality is Haris is a proven hack and nafay is a proper batter, that should give enough reality check to your assessment.

 

[Rana]

Need to be careful here

Another 80 odd in the last 10 and SA will have a score to bowl at with their 4 seamers

 

[stani_pak]

So far advantage and momentum with Pak, but South Africa can turn this around as well, Pak will need to try to bowl them out quickly

 

[Kianig89]

66 in 10 , 66 in last 10 and game on!

 

[Energy]

Rana ji is unstoppable with the ball today.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

So SSA was the problem?

 

[mango_bite77]

Rana ji takes 3rd

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Why agha doesn't give rana consistent bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

73 . 7

SA need to bat through here

 

[Energy]

So SSA was the problem?

That badtameez was a lingering issue for sure.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

So SSA was the problem?

Yes, he is very brainless and releases all the pressure up front. A one trick pony that just pitches the ball up regardless of the conditions. Every batsman and his dog know where the ball is going to pitch, they could probably play him with a blindfold on. Things are only going to go downhill with him as captain.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Nasim has no business to be in the T20 team.

Akif, Salman, Waseem Jr. need to be tried now.

 

[cricfan432]

Theyve made a slow pitch instead of phatta to counter sa fire batting lineup, defensive tactic by pcb just like bangladesh.

 

[hafizexpress]

I didn't get to watch the last match so this is the first time I'm seeing Naseem in a while. Must say I'm very upset. I was a huge fan of his and he had a lot of tools in his arsenal with his pace, slower balls, effort, etc. He had so much potential. To see him give up on his fitness and physique is disappointing because I used to believe between him, Shaheen and Rauf, he would be the one to make it furthest (obviously this was before Shaheen regained some pace and venom post-injury).

“Intent” and “modern day cricket” is Haraam viewing in Pakistan
