Pakistan (134) fall short as Australia (147/9) win the second T20I by 13 runs taking unassailable 2-0 lead with 1 game remaining

[BouncerGuy]

Hacks ... USman is a hack bro.. he is clueless like Rizwan is

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan batsmen are missing pakistan fielders on the ground lol That was well stopped

 

[RidiculousMan]

The Tullaybaaz is not even trying the Tulla shots. How Pathetic

 

[Ali T]

Been over 7 overs and I don't think there's been one boundary

 

[Kianig89]

Junk like batting

 

[BouncerGuy]

Horrible technique of Usman. His foot is in the air when he is playing the shot.. LOL

 

[Rana]

11 off 22

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan is doing a good job.

He is seeing off the new ball for the middle order.

 

[NeVerMind]

This batting performance as disappointing as watching Gladiator 2 at the Cineworld O2 last night!

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is the record maximum boundaryless overs in a T20 game? 8 overs gone. 0 boundaries form the bat.

 

[Kianig89]

No boundary on Power play must be a record

 

[PakFan2010]

Horrible technique of Usman. His foot is in the air when he is playing the shot.. LOL

Still better than Rizwan, 11 off 23.

 

[Rana]

Junk like batting

This is what you were doing bhangra for

 

[BouncerGuy]

Run rate above 9 now...

 

[RidiculousMan]

Horrible technique of Usman. His foot is in the air when he is playing the shot.. LOL

I'm surprised how he found his way to Cricket

 

[Ahmed216]

Bartlett is a proper bowler

Like the Kiwi new guy, forgotten his name

O Rourke

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan needs to accelerate

 

[Mamoon]

He hasn’t opened since, what, 2020? Naturally, he remains an inferior opener on the bench because he needs consistent opportunities in that position to improve.

For T20s, you need someone willing to take risks, play aerial shots, and capitalize on the Powerplay. There’s nothing Babar does in the Powerplay that he couldn’t do just as effectively after it. Fakhar, however, has a riskier and more impactful style, making him a more effective opener than Babar or Rizwan when utilized properly. In the PSL, Fakhar has been a more impactful opener.

Fakhar was rubbish in PSL 2024 and he opened. No one asked him to fail bad based on that failure, PCB has no reason to play him as opener.

It was a golden opportunity for him to earn his place back as an opener but he blew it and can only blame himself.

 

[Ali Active]

I’m not high, you are for calling him unsuitable to this format when he has been a run machine ever since he started to open.

He has cost us so many matches can be decent on his day but calling him all time great opener is bit exaggerated.

 

[mazkhan]

This is horrendous stuff

 

[castortroy]

This is embarrassing

 

[BouncerGuy]

I'm surprised how he found his way to Cricket

We have people who can hype anyone

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan will chase this down with singles. Just need 10 extra overs

Or may wide balls, no-balls etc

 

[angrypathan]

What exactly is the plan here? They’re not targeting the fast bowlers and aren’t targeting the spinner.

 

[Devadwal]

Not watching live .are they not trying to hit the boundary? What going on

 

[Kianig89]

Your idol Usman is also batting

This is what you were doing bhangrBatting

 

[Mamoon]

He has cost us so many matches can be decent on his day but calling him all time great opener is bit exaggerated.

Well he cannot perform for others. If Pakistan had 6 Rizwan’s in the batting lineup they would never lose.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Usman has zero timing in any of his shots. Bat twists in his hand, feet is out of position.

 

[Ali Active]

usman looks awful

 

[Caved12]

Just one big over of 15 or more runs can completely change the game

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Have they changed the commentators even once in this entire match ?

 

[castortroy]

9th over and no boundary of the bat. Is this a record?

 

[Rana]

O’Rourke

He’s the one I meant from NZ

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just one big over of 15 or more runs can completely change the game

And who is gonna score that many runs in 1 over??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not watching live .are they not trying to hit the boundary? What going on

Rizwan is petrified of lifting the bat above his knee.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Deer in front of headlights

 

[Kianig89]

This game is winnable but leaving.too much for middle order

 

[volcyz]

Have they changed the commentators even once in this entire match ?

Why would they for a t20

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Your best t20 players are sitting in home

 

[DeadlyVenom]

That seemed to miss everything

 

[Usman Chadda]

How have we blown this chase is beyond me

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL USMAN cannot even play against spin like he was hyped for

 

[TheSultan]

What is this innings

 

[IAJ]

Yaar keep it down, you simply don’t have power and timing to clear the longest boundary.

 

[Kianig89]

Usman Hack carbon copy of Awais Zia

 

[BlindingLight]

Why is Ayub not in this clown batting line up?

 

[PakFan2010]

This is a good partnership.

Rizwan and Usman have taken the sting out of the game.

 

[Omer2002]

I guess usman has done enough with this great innings to stay in this team for 2 yrs

 

[Devadwal]

And who is gonna score that many runs in 1 over??

Wide and four . Repeat this thrice

 

[RidiculousMan]

What exactly is the plan here? They’re not targeting the fast bowlers and aren’t targeting the spinner.

Tuk Tuk and then InShaAllah for the rest of batters to chase at 12rpo on this big ground.

 

[IAJ]

Review time

 

[BouncerGuy]

reviews

 

[mazkhan]

This Usman has zero timing in any of his shots. Bat twists in his hand, feet is out of position.

This is what happens when you pick tape ball street level players like him and that farhan.

Fakar and saim should be in this team

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan retire from this format now please. It's over for you thanks for your services

 

[volcyz]

Looks out

 

[shah_1]

What is Rizwan exactly doing?

 

[Omer2002]

Why is Ayub not in this clown batting line up?

He wnt do anything aswell but i agree surely he can bowl grt n bat better than this

 

[RidiculousMan]

LOL USMAN cannot even play against spin like he was hyped for

He does well against spinners who bowl straight and nothing like Shadab

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fair call. Not out.

 

[Kianig89]

Adam Zampa excellent bowling

 

[mominsaigol]

Not out. Australia would take it tbh, Rizzu single handidely losing this game

 

[BouncerGuy]

umpire call saves rizwan...

no actullay is saaved AUSTRALIA

 

[RidiculousMan]

The Rizzler is sizzling on the pan right now

 

[Rana]

What is this innings

Just sick and tired to talk about it

 

[Kianig89]

What is the role of Gillespie for this series

 

[PakFan2010]

DRS didn't pick up the ball hitting the pad, so why did they check ball tracking?

 

[IAJ]

Yes, finally a four!

 

[Caved12]

And who is gonna score that many runs in 1 over??

Rizwan

 

[jnaveen1980]

First boundary in 9th over

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan better hit couple of boundaries

 

[BouncerGuy]

[Rana]

Yeh hai aapka kaptaan?????

 

[Omer2002]

BREAKING NEWS....1st four after 10 overs

 

[IAJ]

[castortroy]

Seriously who selected this T20 team.

Absolutely comical

 

[Kianig89]

Finally the curse broken

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anchor out

 

[Ali Active]

[Devadwal]
