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

[RidiculousMan]

Who’s decision is it to let these two open the batting????

I think it is clear by now whoever it was Babar and Rizwan agreed to it. So they need to be dropped from T20I side forever now. Time to open with Saim and Harris. It has been long enough.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar Azam is almost done. No way he should be opening now.

Needed Umair yousuf to play and open

 

[castortroy]

This batting order won't chase this

 

[emranabbas]

Babar out all aqib javids fault

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This a 7 over game or full 20 overs today?

T5

 

[Shafi]

Pathetic player!!! Never performs when matter.

 

[mominsaigol]

This is why I don't rate rizzu as a captain.

Good onfield decision and drs is one thing.

But a captain also must pit their foot down and choose what's right for the team. Until and unless rizzu does this, The t20 team won't progress

Babar and rizwan are a step in the wrong direction

 

[Devadwal]

Bobsy the king gone but no worry as target is small.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar out all aqib javids fault

Guns out

 

[topspin]

Babar doesn't deserve a spot in any format the way he's playing.

But according to @Bewal Express ”he would walk into the Australia team” and “he’s too young and too classy”.

 

[Azzurri]

Amidst all I didn’t even realize that these two tuk tuks are opening again for Pak again in T20s. This management and the whole country is as dumb as it gets. They keep repeating same mistakes and expect different outcomes

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Gonna be tough, 65-35 to Australia

 

[MMHS]

This has more to do with Australia’s con artist slogging line up because you cannot call this a batting line up outside IPL motorways. If there were Warner, Marsh or Travis Head, they would have made sure to embarrass Pakistan on this pitch.

Still it’s Australia..zzz

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is torture. Pakistani fans robbed off seeing Harris and Saim open together in Australia.

 

[volcyz]

Farhan bats like it's a Test match

 

[emranabbas]

Farhab should aim for 50 off 45 balls secure his place first allow chasing the target

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies won't review never lol

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nice from Sahibzada but good fielding

 

[Omer2002]

Farhan is a hack but ppl keep sayin he is the next big thong

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhab should aim for 50 off 45 balls secure his place first allow chasing the target

Why shouldn't he secure his place after all it's a tradition since 1947.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Farhan has not been impressive at all so far.

 

[Ahmed216]

Farhan batting with zero footwork so far

 

[Kroll]

Hain? What sort of team is this? Rizbar back to opening and then such a crappy batting lineup? What do they expect achieve with this?

 

[IAJ]

Lol, they need to keep the ball on ground here, they will struggle to clear the inner circle here.

 

[Ali T]

Pakistan's batting looking really weak.
We are missing allrounders.
Really never recovered after Hafeez version 2.0

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

we are not chasing this folks. so tentative in power play. how do you play dots in power play

 

[adi_62941]

Why our batters play half shots. Man play proper full shot. Exert power into it.

 

[castortroy]

You watch some of India new batters and compare them to what pak have.

Embarrassing

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan is missing Fakhar here

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hain? What sort of team is this? Rizbar back to opening and then such a crappy batting lineup? What do they expect achieve with this?

We are back in 2021

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan is key.

 

[Kroll]

RizBar 10 wickets win coming.

Now up to the Riz to take us home.

 

[mango_bite77]

I would stilk pick Haseeb ahead of Farhan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

And we will have the honors to watch Usman bat again as well

 

[castortroy]

Pakistan is missing Fakhar here

Why wasn't he selected?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Why wasn't he selected?

No one has the answer to that question,,,

Apparently selectors said that it was due to his fitness....LOL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No run

 

[Azzurri]

Saim, Fakhar are must in this lineup

 

[BouncerGuy]

This batting lineup is like a house of cards.

 

[imshally81]

Farhan is very nervous

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He nailed that straight to the fielder

 

[castortroy]

Shambolic batting

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[Omer2002]

Hack is out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely Farhan lol

 

[volcyz]

Farhan needs to stick to ODI's and maybe Tests

 

[Rana]

Man how the hell did Babar and Rizwan come out to open??

Wth is going on?

 

[Ahmed216]

This is the guy that most of our clueless posters been backing

 

[IAJ]

Stupid batsmen. Keep the ball on ground

 

[RidiculousMan]

And Shan doesn't make it into this team in Australia.

 

[mango_bite77]

Farhan is still useless as he was in 2018.

 

[kingusama92]

He didn't look good the entire time. Awful stuff from Farhan.

 

[BouncerGuy]

And the hack is gone and will be replaced by another hack..USMAN

 

[Omer2002]

And we playinh with 5 bowlers so what hope do we have ...they are a brainless.team

 

[Shafi]

Farhan is such an useless player!!!! Not an international material

 

[BouncerGuy]

Man how the hell did Babar and Rizwan come out to open??

Wth is going on?

Because Farhan is as pathetic as they are

 

[Rana]

This is your captain building his side for 2026 and Olympics?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Stupid batsmen. Keep the ball on ground

First time in his life he probably faced good short length ball

 

[castortroy]

Going to get whitewashed by Aussies D team

 

[mominsaigol]

Man how the hell did Babar and Rizwan come out to open??

Wth is going on?

Rizzu's decison. Bobby didn't come out last time cause it was a 7 over game

 

[Caved12]

Farhan is clearly struggling here; all these balls on the leg side should have been boundaries… and he’s gone as I type this.

 

[volcyz]

Usman much better than Farhan

 

[adi_62941]

Lacking in confidence. Look at farhan shoulders after hitting the ball

 

[RidiculousMan]

Because Farhan is as pathetic as they are

Then the pathetic selection committee should have selected players who could play. Guys like Saim, Harris, Fakhar, Jamal and Shan

 

[Devadwal]

And the hack is gone and will be replaced by another hack..USMAN

I was about to typing the same

 

[BouncerGuy]

We are not chasing it..

 

[Rana]

When will the people of Pakistan wake up? How is this acceptable???

 

[RidiculousMan]

Lacking in confidence. Look at farhan shoulders after hitting the ball

He's mentally not fit for international cricket. Now watch Usman bat, he's even more of a mental midget.

 

[Kroll]

Jeez man, this batting lineup is so weak, too many easy wickets on offer to Australia.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need a quickie from Usman

 

[zaidihusain]

As soon as Rizwan & Babar realised that the target is safe to chase they decided to shamelessly open again with an intention to show everyone that they are still match winners and no one can take their positions. This is sheer misuse of authority & seniority. These guys have opened in several years even against Netherlands, Zim, USA etc, why can't they leave opening for others. How other players will learn?

 

[khyberlion]

Farhan batting with zero footwork so far

Yet some think he will perform in tests. I have seen enough of farhan to know he will never succeed at international level.

 

[shah_1]

Haseeb has looked more impressive than this joker

 

[BouncerGuy]

I was about to typing the same

Apparently farhan and usman were replacements of openers.

 

[Devadwal]

This is your captain building his side for 2026 and Olympics?

Honsla rakho ,your captain is going to chase this total.

 

[mominsaigol]

We are not chasing it..

We can as long as Usman Khan is their. He's a top domestic performer. The hack is the captain at the other end

 

[MMHS]

Who picked Farhan for Australia tour? Guy doesn’t have any back foot game.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bring Omair in next game. drop Babar for other batter..any batter

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rizwan has just faces 4 balls so far

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a similar sounding name from South Africa. Bartlett. Is that Bartman?
