Pakistan (148/0) thrash Zimbabwe (145) by 10 wickets in the second ODI to level the 3-match series 1-1

[followed]

Abrar is very mediocre he will be smashed badly against good side on a decent pitch.

He is picking up wickets against Zimbabwe on a minefield m

 

[Ahmed216]

Faisal has been more threatening than Abrar and Abrar ends up getting all the wickets funny game

Don't think Faisal has looked more threatening of the two

 

[emranabbas]

Abrar won't be threatening on non spin pitches but faisel has potential with his variety

 

[Omer2002]

I agree it's Zimbabwe but his basics are good.

Because he bowls wicket to wicket I feel he'll always be in with a chance against good batsmen too who'll try to hit him.

Only time will tell though how he does against better oppositions

I think that kid Gazzanfer who has also been picked in IPL and is playing u19 final today is better than Abrar

 

[followed]

Everyone's favorite Gwandu is batting.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Zimbabwe all out for 145 in 32.3 overs. Brilliant from Abrar today

 

[Rana]

Enough runs on the board if they have 3 spinners I recon

I seriously think sajid Khan was a missed opportunity here.

Idrc about his List A stats. I can easily tell that he's the best spinner in the entire country. He and noman chacha both.

No doubt about that. Test class spinners are the best

 

[Ahmed216]

Will Pak come out to bat in 10 minutes?
Still 70 minutes to go till lunch time

 

[Rana]

Salman Agha taking a 3fer in both games

Anyone can roll their arm over and take wickets here

 

[BouncerGuy]

After inning break there was a 25 min break so soon the batters will be out there

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saim and AB should be aggressive. It's easy to score off new ball

 

[emranabbas]

Saim and AB should be aggressive. It's easy to score off new ball

No need to be aggressive on this pitch this ain't Australia

 

[mominsaigol]

No need to be aggressive on this pitch this ain't Australia

It's advisable to be aggressive in the first 10 overs and win the game.

Pakistani batters are walking wickets against spinners on this minefield.

If pakistan is 30-2 in the first 10 then it's game over.

They need to go wicketless and score 50 atleast.

Afterwards that can get their 5 to 6 wicket win

 

[emranabbas]

This outfield plays different need to stick there and see off the pacers in the first 10 overs

 

[Omer2002]

sikandar and williams will be a handful here. Muza and Nagawa are unplayable by our boys

 

[The Bald Eagle]

So far positive start for Pakistan

 

[RidiculousMan]

Compare to any other opener in this format for Pakistan. What I love about Fakhar is that no matter the situation. He'll be aggresive

 

[BouncerGuy]

Just hang on out there. I don't trust KG-RIZ etc...

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan have won this. Dissapointing atting performance from zim

 

[mango_bite77]

Is it the same ground where India couldn't chase a target of 115 in a t20 match vs Zim earlier this year ?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Pakistan have won this. Dissapointing atting performance from zim

Ideally it is just a 15-20 over target

 

[Kianig89]

Good start so far

 

[Kianig89]

Shame the series has only 3 ODIS should have been a proper 7 game ODIs

 

[BouncerGuy]

So abdullah is still pathetic as he was in recent times.

Saim looking solid though

 

[Aviator]

Abdullah shafique is a cancer to team Pakistan.. If Dr. Naqvi is serious about operation, he must first remove this tumor called abdullah shafique..

 

[shah_1]

Saim is the only decent talent we have right now

 

[Kianig89]

Saim and Fakhar to open, Babar at 3

Atleast for CT , we need a proper no. 4 now

 

[Kianig89]

Dare I Say, Imam better Shafiq qarchi

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abdullah's catch dropped... Good for Zimbabwe...

 

[Kianig89]

Imagine an explosive opener with Saim

 

[Kianig89]

Shafiq should be released from squad to get a safari tour of the country

 

[Omer2002]

Abdullah shafique is a cancer to team Pakistan.. If Dr. Naqvi is serious about operation, he must first remove this tumor called abdullah shafique..

Sure and bring Sharjeel or is it imran farhat..no actually Hafeez.

 

[masterblaster]

looks like Saim adjusted his batting technique. Keeps his bat in the air while bowlers are charging in.

 

[Ahmed216]

Surprised they haven't bowled a spinner yet

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Amir shoal trolling gwandu by saying "I,d rather not say his name"

 

[shah_1]

I want Fakhar at no 4

Seeing kamran, Rizwan and Salman in the middle order is cancer to our team, we need to some firepower in the middle order

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Babar Azam must be sad at home, watching Saim taking them on

 

[Aviator]

Sure and bring Sharjeel or is it imran farhat..no actually Hafeez.

Sharjeels one lofted hoick is better than abdullah shafique's whole career...

 

[shah_1]

Saud(if he can sort his game against short ball) should open with Saim

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud(if he can sort his game against short ball) should open with Saim

Bro??? SAUD??? to OPEN??

Fakhar should be there.. case closed

 

[mango_bite77]

Gwandu would be the most popular name in India & Pakistan

 

[RidiculousMan]

It seems that Abdullah needs confidence in every game

 

[Kianig89]

Shafiq what a jekq he is , countless games and still he gets stuck

 

[shah_1]

Bro??? SAUD??? to OPEN??

Fakhar should be there.. case closed

Saud opens in the PSL and has done well

Fakhar is needed in the middle order

 

[Aviator]

Abdullah shafique needs polio doses first of all....

 

[RidiculousMan]

This Zimbabwean commentator has been downplaying Pakistan the whole series

 

[Ahmed216]

C'mon Saim score big

Likes of Babar and Imam have made careers out of such tours

 

[Kianig89]

Need to print poster for Pak v Zim decider, this is proper stuff exceptional ICc is missing on easy $$$.

Any chance to include Zim in CT

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud opens in the PSL and has done well

Fakhar is needed in the middle order

Saim and Fakhar should open. middle order is already filled with a lot of players. babar is gonna comeback as well so no need

 

[The Bald Eagle]

C'mon Saim score big

Likes of Babar and Imam have made careers out of such tours

Also unfortunately it is only these kinds of tour that somewhat afford Pakistan a reasonable position in ODIs ranking

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Saim and Fakhar should open. middle order is already filled with a lot of players. babar is gonna comeback as well so no need

Abdullah is just a journeyman in this format

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan could potentially have Fakhar, Saim and Babar as top 3 in CT25. Not bad

 

[shah_1]

We have no quality middle order

Everyone sucks so we need to improvise. How pakistan can survive with Rizwan, Kamran and Salman in the middle order, they will suck any momentum if openers do well.

 

[Kianig89]

Big game for Rizwan the captain

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

9.2 .. short ball sitting up.. Indian batters would put this in stand 9 out of 10 times

 

[Kianig89]

We have no quality middle order

One out of Shadab or Nawaz to play at 6.
May be Muhammad Haris at 4.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Who is this commentator? Looks like he got hurt with that Saim shot

 

[Kianig89]

🌶 for haters

 

[shah_1]

Saim and Fakhar should open. middle order is already filled with a lot of players. babar is gonna comeback as well so no need

Rizwan at 4, kamran at 5 and Salman at 6

What a disaster for PCT.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Tayyab needs to show he can be the solution

 

[mango_bite77]

True but It is the middle order they struggle. Need some proper batter who has sound technique against spin and has international level temperament and game understanding.

Agha, Irfan are crap. They wont survive 10 balls against good side.

 

[Omer2002]

Sharjeels one lofted hoick is better than abdullah shafique's whole career...

Yes indeed thus Sharjeels Average and Abdullahs average.

I am also against Abdullahs selection in white ball. Fakhar is pretty useless too but i guess him and Saim might be an option.

 

[Ahmed216]

Gwandu being treated by Saim

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We have no quality middle order

It's because any youngster with batting ability is made an opener. We keep producing openers. Some of them aren't even openers.

The middle order is full of lower order hacks.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good shot to get to his 50

 

[RidiculousMan]

Now in the T20I series will see Farhan, Usman and Haseeb as openers instead of Saim

 

[Kianig89]

50 for Saim at SR159 amazing

 

[Kianig89]

Shafiq ruining all the P=mv

 

[BouncerGuy]

Now in the T20I series will see Farhan, Usman and Haseeb as openers instead of Saim

Yep mediocre group

Saud is a must at 5

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yep mediocre group

I'm happy they got complete series this time. Won't be complaining this time when they'll eventually get dropped

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Now in the T20I series will see Farhan, Usman and Haseeb as openers instead of Saim

what a horrible line up. Usman cannot even be called Genuine batter. hack at best

 

[Ahmed216]

50 for Saim at SR159 amazing

Babar cannot do that even against PNG

 

[shah_1]

Saud is a must at 5

Saud is decent when there is poweplay as he has shown in the PSL, he doesn't have the 5th gear when the field is spread so the problem will presist.

 

[mominsaigol]

Good 50 from saim but I've noticed a trend that he only scores such knocks during very low scoring affairs.

Again it isn't his fault that the target is low, but eventually pakistan will be given a 300 to 350 target to chase sooner or later down the line and these sorts of innings will be needed from him.

No point in scoring these impressive rapid fire 50's for 140 chasing scores but not replicating it when the target is 350

 

[stani_pak]

Good to see Saim Ayub get a 50

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This Raza guy, why is a Pakistani playing for Zimbabwe

 

[The Bald Eagle]

@Rana, seems like no interest in match for you today.
