Pakistan (118/4) ease past Sri Lanka (114) by six wickets to clinch the T20I tri-series title

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Salman doing something special that Misbah and Rizwan couldn’t do

And what might that be?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Pakistan chased 200+ vs New Zealand in New Zealand in 16 overs.

and we dropped the guy who made it possible

 

[Omer2002]

Fakhar is finished....i am.tellin u

 

[Savak]

This is not an easy pitch to slog on unless the bowler bowls a really bad ball. Pakistan has to be careful not to leave it to the last ball.

 

[CricVet]

no , T20 Cricket is being played for 20 years. Lot of teams have Batters with above 150 SR . You cant dismiss it as bad bowling dished out to them or Phatta Wickets. There is process and method. Batters witj Career SR of 150 plud will usually smash you at 200 SR on Phatta or bad bowling thats why they end up with 150 plus Career SR. And Pakistan has failed to produce such batters in all that period

First of all, we MUST NOT compare our cricket to most other countries. Our structures, cricket or anything you name it, is adhoc. WE are a product of adhocism.

It is a long debate. I am just gonna leave it at that.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar Gone , which idiot would put fakhar in middle. He is not suited to play in the middle , that is not his game.

 

[Omer2002]

A guy who uas never ever bowled in his life is unplayable wowww

 

[CricVet]

Fakhar is finished....i am.tellin u

No he is not.These dumb @55es are finishing him by not opening with him.

 

[Ali Active]

superover would be nice

 

[Omer2002]

No he is not.These dumb @55es are finishing him by not opening him.

You have to play for ur team there is no hitter in pak team thus he is being tried i mean otherwise he wnt even get in the team complete hack

 

[CricVet]

They ran one - idiots

 

[sweep_shot]

3 to win from 2 overs.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Fakhar is finished....i am.tellin u

Or maybe this batting position does not suit him? Was patriotic enough to bat at this position without any choon chaan.

 

[CricVet]

You have to play for ur team there is no hitter in pak team thus he is being tried i mean otherwise he wnt even get in the team complete hack

What kind of logic is that? He is not cut out for it. Maximize his usage of brutal slogging that is his usage in a T20

 

[Rana]

Low quality cricket throughout

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Tearful moment for Babar fans as he chases 115 at a run a ball 32 to lead Pakistan to victory in tri series.

What a joyous moment indeed.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Babar wants Rizwan at the other end!

 

[CricVet]

6 wickets in 6 balls would be nice :l

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan win another ODI series... please just retire Ramiz. You are literally the worst person to listen to.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

AND BABAR HAS DONE IT!!

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

Pakistan win the tri-series.

Congratulations.

 

[Rana]

Usman Khan’s average is above 75 I think in this series

Imagine he gets dropped for Rizwan because of PR

 

[CricVet]

Oh well, SL needs to build middle order just like Pak. Pak needs miracle for its system to get fixed

 

[Dr_Bassim]

AND BABAR HAS DONE IT!!

Yes.

Another knock for the ages.

37 off 34 balls chasing 114 and being etched in history books.

 

[Rana]

Absolute wasted opportunity to get Usman in and settled for Pakistan in the middle against spin

 

[gazza619]

I propose Babar to be man of series. Solid in chases and top fielding.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan win by six wickets.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I propose Babar to be man of series. Solid in chases and top fielding.

Do you feel no shame in saying that ?

 

[sweep_shot]

4th LOI series win in a row for Pakistan.

Good form.

 

[Rana]

Do you feel no shame in saying that ?

Tbh he doesn’t

 

[topspin]

Great joke. I didn’t know you had a weekend job in performing standup comedy

 

[topspin]

Do you feel no shame in saying that ?

@gazza619 Jawab please

 

[gazza619]

Tbh he doesn’t

@gazza619 Jawab please

It seems like you missed Babar’s brilliant performance today! He showcased some outstanding catching skills and his batting during the chase was simply solid. Don’t you ever get tired of hating? It must be quite exhausting for you lot.

 

[Asif321]

So our t20 WC team will be this .

 

[Rana]

It seems like you missed Babar’s brilliant performance today! He showcased some outstanding catching skills and his batting during the chase was simply solid. Don’t you ever get tired of hating? It must be quite exhausting for you lot.

Showcased great skill chasing 115 off 120 balls?

 

[topspin]

Yes.

Another knock for the ages.

37 off 34 balls chasing 114 and being etched in history books.

This perfectly reflects Raja Isthiaq’s small team mentality.

This cult has been so starved of strong performances from Babar in recent years that they’re left celebrating a small 30-odd innings in a modest chase.

 

[Rana]

Nawaz will be the player of the series

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Nawaz will be the player of the series

Or Babar. One of these two.

 

[topspin]

It seems like you missed Babar’s brilliant performance today! He showcased some outstanding catching skills and his batting during the chase was simply solid. Don’t you ever get tired of hating? It must be quite exhausting for you lot.

No one is hating and actually I was following the game on Cricinfo so I was aware of Babar’s efforts in the field, so full credit to him for taking those excellent catches.

But aren’t you getting carried away when you say he should be man of the series?

I really hope you’re being remunerated well for promoting Babar because if this is voluntary work, I actually feel sorry for you because that’s just so sad.

 

[CricVet]

Babar will be, to make Babar fans happier than Babar himself

[Rana]

On top of it, Babar will be under the delusion that he is truly the man of the series.

 

[srh8119]

Lelo bhai trolling key mazey
warna lage ga ke babar ki taraf sey personal khairat aati aap ki taraf

 

[CricVet]

On top of it, Babar will be under the delusion that he is truly the man of the series.

Anything for Babar...doobtay ko tinkay ka sahara

 

[sweep_shot]

SL went from 98/2 to 114-all out.

Shocking collapse in a final.

A forgettable tour for SL (6 losses, 2 wins).

 

[Dr_Bassim]

On top of it, Babar will be under the delusion that he is truly the man of the series.

If Babar truly thinks he is man of the series, then you understand why his fans erupt into orgasms at his 30s.

 

[Rana]

If Babar truly thinks he is man of the series, than you understand why his fans erupt into orgasms at his 30s.

When he scored his 50 against Zimbabwe, he felt he scored a solid knock on a true pitch against a world class bowling attack. I sensed it there that this guy isn’t quite right in the head at the moment. He’s living in another world in his head.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

These are the same people when we lose to India and USA in T20 World Cup will shamelessly say what can Babar do alone to win the match.

 

[sweep_shot]

M Nawaz is the Man-of-the-Series.

 

[Rana]

M Nawaz is the Man-of-the-Series.

Surely it has to be a mistake?

Pakistan would have lost all games in this series without Babar?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This female commentary is not working. I can't watch the game with this noise. They need to find more commentators who can speak more eloquently and with a more palatable tone of voice.

Bazid, Waqar and Wasim are also just awful to listen to.

Even Ramiz can be repetitive.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why would Babar even want to play against a 3rd string Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe?

And since Babar was not available, PCB shelved an entire series.

I feel Aqib and Hesson were sent death threats

Something doesn’t make sense with how they have completely changed their approach and mentality.

 

[Ahmed216]

Last game was so much more enjoyable.

Disappointing show from SL today

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan has played 7 T20I Series / Tournaments in 2025 and Mohammad Nawaz has won 'Player of the Series' in 3 of them.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Saim Ayub has played 5 T20I matches in this Tri Series and he failed to play any innings worth mentioning considering that he is our opener . He failed miserably in Asia cup and his mediocre or below par returns in batting continue

as Pakistani Cricket Fan , Have we accepted his mediocrity ?

55 Matches Average 20 5 Fifty Scores meaning a fifty after 11 games on average. Why Saim Ayub deserves more chances and players like M Nawaz booted out after few failures?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Thread ban or temporary ban on card for some, please don't provide another reason

 

[TheSultan]

I propose Babar to be man of series. Solid in chases and top fielding.

And two glorious quacks

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Thanks to our friends from Sri Lanka for staying in Pakistan and continuing the tour despite Indian pressure.

The cricket was kinda meh, but we should be forever grateful for the spirit of friendship from the Sri Lankans. They didn't stay for money, or any future deals, they stayed through brotherhood.

To any Sri Lankan reading, I would like to offer my salaam to you, and prayers for your country's success insh'Allah.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Usman Khan’s average is above 75 I think in this series

Imagine he gets dropped for Rizwan because of PR

how many Fifties Usman khan has in his T20 Career?

 

[gazza619]

And since Babar was not available, PCB shelved an entire series.

Do you happen to have any evidence to support these claims, or do you just like spreading fake news

Fair point. It seems like he doesn’t get any criticism at all. Today he scored 36 of 33 balls. But the haters were focused on criticising a 34 ball 37 from Babar.
