Pakistan (135/5) defeat New Zealand (134/8) by five wickets in a close finish at Sharjah

[Rana]

60 off 42

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needs 60 runs in 42 balls.

The rate getting tighter here , Pakistan need couple of good overs

 

[Kianig89]

Who will smash Sodhi

 

[silentkiller187]

Malik winning the game after not being selected originally, write your fairytale shoaibb

 

[Kianig89]

Malik still playing like a 90s bits and pieces

 

[Justcrazy]

Sodhi into his third over now

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Who will smash Sodhi

Asif Ali is your best bet.

 

[srh]

middle order is under cooked, but Malik is there to guide, Pakistan should play around him

 

[castortroy]

Don't understand the logic of Imad coming in.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Imad you beauty
Hahahhahaha

 

[silentkiller187]

Why do we try the reverse switch when we can’t pull it off

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Lower order needs to step up and show their worth

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to sprinkle in a few boundaries off the spinners.

 

[NeVerMind]

Why is Imad out there?

 

[Major]

Why didnt they not semd asif ali in

 

[Kianig89]

There a fielder everywhere good Laotian by Wollaomson

 

[Rana]

Hit some Sixes!!!

 

[castortroy]

Imad needs to have a go here

 

[UzmanBeast]

No need to try stupid shots.

 

[castortroy]

No need to try stupid shots.

Rate is building

 

[Rana]

Come on Malik we need a 6

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[silentkiller187]

Make this extra ball count

 

[QalandarFan]

Man we need a couple boundaries baddd!

 

[Kianig89]

Universe class fielding by Nz

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Getting tough

 

[Smbhayi]

wow, thats why you need at least 1 aggressive opener like Sharjeel who can hit freely in first 6 overs of Power Play knowing there are only 2 fielders outside of circle

Lol check out Windies scorecard, they're packed with power hitters, yet they're failing to hit big due to condition.. Why do you think Sharjeel's case will be different?

 

[NeVerMind]

Fielding amazing...need to clear the ground to get the runs

 

[castortroy]

Pitch is atrocious

 

[Rana]

Still Pakistan’s game to lose but they are taking it too casually

 

[Major]

If nz wins this it was all down to their fielding. Wonderful fielding by them

 

[nam]

wide.. pressure...

 

[QalandarFan]

Make this extra ball count

Another single lmao.

 

[t_kaay]

looking for a big over now

 

[sweep_shot]

53 runs are needed from 6 overs.

 

[Rana]

All 11 can bat

One of these two needs to go!

 

[Smbhayi]

New Zealand fielding very well, already saved 15+ runs I guess..

 

[nam]

53 of 36

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Why didn’t we send Asif “Can hit sixes at will” Ali in before Imad?

 

[castortroy]

Imad won't last against Boult

 

[UzmanBeast]

Imad Wasim needs to take the risk.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

It's beyond that why hiding specialist batsman

 

[nam]

one 15+ over and we'll be home Inshallah

 

[t_kaay]

a couple of boundaries here and it all changes, have faith

 

[castortroy]

This game slipping away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need a big over in the next 2 overs.

 

[Rana]

Malik tuk tuk

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan in trouble here , it will not be easy with Malik looking like a tail ender

 

[silentkiller187]

One of these better go now get asif butler Ali in or Hassan Ali for a cameo

 

[NeVerMind]

Dinky little singles ain't gonna do it

 

[Nado_]

Those stadium announcers need to shut up now it’s a tense situation

 

[Justcrazy]

a couple of boundaries here and it all changes, have faith

who will hit them ?

 

[Major]

Malik why cnat u hit the ball

 

[QalandarFan]

Why didn’t we send Asif “Can hit sixes at will” Ali in before Imad?

If he’d of gotten out early who would have done the hitting at the end?

 

[Abdurmirr]

For god sake what is the point of Asif.

If your going to select him let him bat above our allrounders

 

[imshally81]

No wide?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a heck imad doing

 

[Rana]

[silentkiller187]

Why the hell is imad trying the switch swing the bat you fooool

 

[imshally81]

[uzairmanzoor13]

Imad is horrible with the reverse paddle sweep still keeps trying it.

 

[Rana]

Bat like that crying out loud!!

 

[silentkiller187]

That’s more like it

 

[QalandarFan]

Okay someone has to go for a big shot now.

Better need more!

 

[Smbhayi]

Four by Wasim..

 

[t_kaay]

[Justcrazy]

Very crucial boundary , just to keep Pakistan float.
