What's new

Pakistan (140/6) defeat South Africa (139/9) by four wickets to seal the 3-match T20I series by 2-1 margin

These two batters will play TukTuk to bring the required rate up and then they will get out to leave upto the lower order to save Pakistan.
 
Hasan Nawaz is being wasted so low down the order

no point having salman right after babar, 2 anchors will bid up the rrr
 
Pak players have zero game awareness. That's why they end up sleep walking into traps set by the opposition team. There are two spinners in the opposition team & they will take risks that offer zero value.

The ground is wet so just get singles and doubles and get the ball wet and take the match deep.

Nope. Everyone is going to play a senseless stroke. No wonder the world has left them behind in cricket.
 
Pakistani batsmen can't hit anywhere except the leg side. Very easy for the opposition to tie down and create wicket taking opportunities
 
for babar you need a fielder at short mid-wicket when he plays spin

he gets caught there a lot
 
This Salman kumar yadav is trying to bat exactly like SKY by trying to hit everything to fine leg lol So far nothing to show far in his career

Congratulations.

Babar has proven us all wrong with today’s scintillating innings.

Not all...I have no doubts about his ability against pace. I questioned him opening in T20s and batting against spin in the past. He is still the best middle order Pak batter. We can't have him and Agha on the pitch at the same time though

Agree. He seems more suited to #4.

I personally think Agha shouldn't play T20 (should only play ODI and Test).

Ideally drop Agha from T20I

Play Fakhar Zaman instead. Make Fakhar or Saim captain

I understand Babar is not fit for modern day cricket. But Agha is 10 times worse.
 
when the RR goes over 8 pakistan will panic and play false shorts ..two accumulators playing together thats very much possible

Both Agha and Babar should be playing ODI’s and Tests only.
 
One thing is certain , Babar will never change his approach or learn art of power play.

He Just does nt want to

even though he spent time away , Had zero effect on his game

Look at weak wrists and Muscle on Arm. It tells you he does nt want to put hard yards in

But after Pakistan's multiple collapses in recent times they want someone like him in the side. Blame the current set up who could not find a middle gear when needed.

Who was the highest run scorer for South Africa today? Reeza. Check his SR

You need at least one player who can steady the innings. Not tuk tuk but someone who can rotate the strike well and score at 130-140 SR. Babar is more accomplished as a batsman and can play that role much better than Agha who is a limited player.

8 South African batsmen were caught today. 3-4 got out to needless aerial shots and just after they had hit a six. Some smarter cricket was required. Despite the earlier collapse South Africa could have still posted 160+/- today.

In theory, we need an anchor in the middle because we collapse all the time

but now we have 2 anchors in the midile, which is counter productive
 
should have mankand

I thought Sahibzada counts as an anchor too apparently
 
Who is this Simelane? Lol, South Africa thrown their bench into this series. Where are the main bowlers ,Rabada, Lungi, Maharaj, Jansen, etc.?

yes thats the tragedy of our cricket. We are forced to watch this guy in t20 because others are worse
 
Free hit and full toss and it's like the most pathetic bat swing you'll see. No bat speed, no power. Their batting is so mediocre it's hard to put it into words.

They could still salvage something if they are prepared to kick out Salman Ali Agha and bring someone else in. Captaincy can be given to Shaheen

Hind sight is always 20-20.

No good team can have 2 accumulators on the pitch at the same time. SA failed, but will succeed most of the time.

Agree with one though.
 
Babar is batting fluently tonight. Very good looking strokes.

It’s T20 bro, if your top 5 can’t play out more than 80+ balls then you simply don’t deserve to win the match.

120 balls, 7 batters, they should all be capable of batting for 20 balls and scoring at a high strike rate.
 
celebrating like its his 100

but to be fair, his 4 boundaries this over were beautiful to watch

Clueless vs spinners but couple of good shots from Babar there.

Gets to his fifty. Good for him. It's been depressing watching Babar bat for a while now. Maybe it turns him around but still a long way to go.

That’s what I am saying. Only of them can play

If anyone needs to go it is Agha. Play Fakhar instead
