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

[Devadwal]

Afridi is back to his best.

 

[hamzie]

Getting roasted

 

[mominsaigol]

Beautiful crowd and a beautiful start.

 

[Rana]

Heavy Artillery at Sydney!!!

 

[Devadwal]

Aussies are trying to match yesterday india score. 282

 

[Rana]

Boom boom!

 

[emranabbas]

Why rizwan not taking the best out of his bowlers today? He gone to sleep or something?

 

[Zeshan547]

wao such world class team we have, It's not multan Baby. They will find it the hard way.

 

[angrypathan]

Atrocious bowling

 

[Mohraheem]

Test match Fielding set up!

 

[MenInG]

Surely must be some planning by Pakistan?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bowling tuttee

 

[angrypathan]

What’s the point of a packed offside field if all the deliveries are on middle/leg?

 

[adi_62941]

Same balling length by naseem irrespective of formats

 

[PakFan2010]

Shaheen and Naseem are rubbish T20 bowlers.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can Australia beat India's score from yesterday?

 

[mominsaigol]

Can Australia beat India's score from yesterday?

Naw, doubt it

 

[Devadwal]

This is how T20 cricket should be played. No tuktuk

 

[angrypathan]

A dot ball, wild

 

[emranabbas]

Hope usman plays selfish and stack some runs to his name rather than taking risks and chasing the score

 

[Rana]

Short Sid Vicious

 

[angrypathan]

Is Naseem familiar with the off stump?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Naw, doubt it

Yeah. Scoring in the Highveld in South Africa is easier than even Sydney.

 

[mominsaigol]

Fraser and short firing today.

This is the danger of having such players. Their inconsistent but if they fire, it's game over for the opposition.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Should give Sufiyan ago to change things up, cant do any worse.

 

[Zeshan547]

A dot ball, wild

Guys who sucks more between Shaheen and Naseem ? Hardest question to answer i think.

 

[kingusama92]

Their length is all over the place. Absolute carnage.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah. Scoring in the Highveld in South Africa is easier than even Sydney.

Even if it wasn't, I highly doubt 283 is being scored.

 

[mominsaigol]

Someone needs to bump the rizzu captaincy and performance thread. I'll bump it when I'm home which is when the game ends

 

[angrypathan]

Leg stump again

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even if it wasn't, I highly doubt 283 is being scored.

Imo, Australia are playing one batter short. Should have Hardie batting at #8

 

[emranabbas]

Bring on spinner need to go bit defensive here

 

[IAJ]

Dot ball

 

[mominsaigol]

Imo, Australia are playing one batter short. Should have Hardie batting at #8

It's fine. Pakistan is 6 batters short. Their playing Test cricketers in t20 lol

 

[Rana]

Rizwan basically praying behind the stumps each ball doesn’t fly for 6

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwan basically praying behind the stumps each ball doesn’t fly for 6

I think bradman is calculating on how he'll chase it

 

[Ahmed216]

18 rpo will get them to 360

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Three Aussie white ball ATG openers on comms - Waugh, Gilly, Warner . Wow

 

[Devadwal]

Their length is all over the place. Absolute carnage.

Absolutely pathetic bowling by Shaheen.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan not laughing or smiling anymore?

 

[Rana]

What’s the most runs Pakistan have conceded in 20 overs?

 

[MenInG]

 

[AAli98]

First 12 balls have sealed paks fate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Little bit of inspiration from India vs SA match? lol

 

[IAJ]

Smart bowlers adjust, stupid bowlers keep bowling trash

 

[Ali Active]

Someone needs to bump the rizzu captaincy and performance thread. I'll bump it when I'm home which is when the game ends

u live in sydney ? are u at game rn?

 

[RidiculousMan]

260 is definitely on. Pakistan still in the framework of last game.

 

[mominsaigol]

u live in sydney ? are u at game rn?

Yes lol. It's a beautiful day and a beautiful crowd.

 

[adi_62941]

These 3 harris, shaheen and naseem should not play any test match for pakistan. Should only play white ball cricket

 

[emranabbas]

50 in 3 overs

 

[Ahmed216]

Someone needs to bump the rizzu captaincy and performance thread. I'll bump it when I'm home which is when the game ends

Enjoy the stadium vibes bro for the time being.

Come back home and have a blast on PP

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fastest Australian T20 fifty ever. Ridiculous

 

[angrypathan]

Rauf sticking with the baffling leg stump line

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone JFM 20 off 9

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf strike

 

[kingusama92]

Great catch there!

 

[Ahmed216]

He's done his job though HFM

 

[angrypathan]

Calling JFM a hack is an insult to hacks

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mcgurk is not a cricketer. He is an out and out baseball player.

 

[Mohraheem]

He's done his job though HFM

U saw that catch by Salman.. he is staying in t20 ..

 

[Devadwal]

He's done his job though HFM

20(9) is way better than 45(35)

 

[adi_62941]

Sad to see jehandad left out. He was very good in champions cup and should have made a debut by now

 

[hamzie]

Haris on fire

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brilliant catch Inglis gone 0

2 in the over for Rauf

 

[kingusama92]

Rauf is on fire on this tour.

 

[Devadwal]

Two Down

 

[Ahmed216]

20(9) is way better than 45(35)

Especially if you have players who can capitalise on a good start

 

[zaidihusain]

Shaheen is being thrashed by newbies of Australia. He can't bowl in test cricket and T20s, he has just recently performed in ODIs against Australia. He was giving flying kisses after getting last batsman out in 3rd ODI, he has literally lowered his standard by doing such celebration. He doesn't look threatening at all

 

[AAli98]

Shaheen must have woken up thinking he was t20 captain.. until he realised… let’s lose Pak the game in the first over this guy will deliberately underperform send him back to his father in law.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Only IPL suits Hack McGurk right

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Harris has been a cut above the other bowlers in this series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia struggles against Haris Rauf's change ups.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sad to see jehandad left out. He was very good in champions cup and should have made a debut by now

Next game he should come in place of Shaheen

 

[angrypathan]

Rizwan smiling again, tears in the UK

 

[Zeshan547]

Shaheen must have woken up thinking he was t20 captain.. until he realised… let’s lose Pak the game in the first over this guy will deliberately underperform send him back to his father in law.

As if he was pulling out tress before , it's is his level now. Such a sad and sudden downfall.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only IPL suits Hack McGurk right

Different conditions. In India Rauf went for 500 runs in the world cup.

 

[Vikram1989]

For first few overs, it looked like aus have started chasing yesterday's India score (283)

 

[emranabbas]

Only IPL suits Hack McGurk right

What you want him to do score 50 off 45 balls like rizwan and babar? This is t20 not odi

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We have been close to fielders colliding in the field a couple of times this series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Australian unit is a bit hackish. Going to be very inconsistent. With Starc declining they are going to struggle in LOIs
