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

[Ahmed216]

Good to see Saim enjoying rather than thinking about securing his spot further.

He's confident and doesn't fear failures unlike our so called modern great Babar

 

[The Bald Eagle]

This Raza guy, why is a Pakistani playing for Zimbabwe

Good he left for Zimbabwe, otherwise would have been dumped years ago.

 

[Ahmed216]

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.

But he's good at rotating strike and can hit the gaps when set. He's the best available option ,much better than other fake middle order players we've been carrying.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

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

has nt had any target above 250 so far since his debut

 

[shah_1]

Maybe Abdullah wants saim to score a hundred

 

[BouncerGuy]

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

MAybe pakistan is winning.

 

[BouncerGuy]

has nt had any target above 250 so far since his debut

Good luck for Pakistan then.

But these should surely give him confidence. Now imagine if he fails here or similar level teams, his confidence of playing quality opposition will be shattered

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saim should get a hundred here...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Generational talent for Pakistan. The others are not even close.

 

[Kianig89]

Saim SR

 

[BouncerGuy]

16 more runs for Saim's 100

33 runs needed total... get it bro

 

[RidiculousMan]

Zimsaim Ayubabwe

Abdullah Shafiq must be kicked out and fakhar has to come back.
Saim should be given a long run.

 

[Kianig89]

Good learning from team Paksitan

 

[mominsaigol]

Solid gun innings from saim. He's making his predecessor (Fakhar Zaman) proud

 

[Kianig89]

Zim shell shocked by Pak approach

 

[Kianig89]

Looks like all set for decider

This is how a minnows should be treated.

Hopefully Pakistan bats first in the next match.

 

[Kianig89]

ZimBabar missed on 2xtons

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saim you beauty

 

[Ahmed216]

Tera khoon kab khaulega re Abdullah

 

[Aviator]

Abdullah's supporter, please don't say that he intentionally didn't score to allow saim to get to hundred..

 

[Aviator]

Lo bhai... Khusre me bhi jaan aagayi!

 

[Kianig89]

Abdullah made a fool of himself

 

[Kianig89]

What a chase unbollliable

 

[Asad T]

How can Abdullah be 27 (44) against zimbabwe
such a statpadder

 

[followed]

Saim should keep his head down and keep working hard. He can serve Pakistan for long time.

 

[mominsaigol]

Dominating display

 

[mango_bite77]

Century for Saim, good innings, much needed for him.

 

[Kianig89]

Absolute brutal Zim shaken to core

 

[Aviator]

Abdullah shafique is practising for test matches against South Africa... He is just honing his technique.. Just wait and watch, he will take rabada and co to cleaners..

 

[batandballbattle]

Whatta century. Full on phainty from Saim.
Yeah ok it's only Zimbabwe but this does wonders for his development. An attacking opener is a must in ODIs

 

[pakistani pride]

What is Abdullah doing here?!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

As usual most Pak fans are going crazy on Ayub's batting as he's smashing Zimbabwe.

 

[Kianig89]

1-1

 

[Ahmed216]

This is how a minnows should be treated.

Rain interfered last game. Kaptana was well on his way

 

[followed]

Well done saim. Keep working hard.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim should keep his head down and keep working hard. He can serve Pakistan for long time.

He does not have the same appetite as Jaiswal.

 

[Kianig89]

10wicket win please.

Still it was pathetic approach from whole team. They were scared.

 

[mango_bite77]

10wicket win please.

Last time Pak won by 10 wickets vs Zim, Farhat was still playing.

 

[Kianig89]

Excellent batting by Saim today

 

[RidiculousMan]

Just 9 runs needed and they've called for drinks

 

[BouncerGuy]

Brilliant from Saim. He has really improved his game in longer version

 

[Kianig89]

Last time Pak won by 10 wickets vs Zim, Farhat was still playing.

And his father in law Ilyas was selector

 

[RidiculousMan]

As usual most Pak fans are going crazy on Ayub's batting as he's smashing Zimbabwe.

Just like he smashed Australia

 

[Kianig89]

Saim needs as much games as possible

 

[RidiculousMan]

Brilliant from Saim. He has really improved his game in longer version

Ever since he has ditched his no look shot. He has looked good.

He should be tried in T20Is again

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Zim might not recover from this drubbing for Third ODI

 

[Kianig89]

Saim for MOM definitely

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Problem with Abdullah is a mental one , he doesn't lack ability wise.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Ever since he has ditched his no look shot. He has looked good.

He should be tried in T20Is again

yes Pak needs him in t20 team. right now our T20 batters are terrible and Saim might not be best in world but certainly better than Farhans and Usmans

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ever since he has ditched his no look shot. He has looked good.

Exactly. He has improved his temprament and shot selection

 

[stani_pak]

What a century what a strike rate what a talent Saim Ayub

 

[Ahmed216]

Exactly. He has improved his temprament and shot selection

Because he's been playing red ball cricket. Those 5 tests against Ban and Eng have helped him immensely

 

[Kianig89]

Some posters will look to invent a theory to blame Rizwan today also

 

[RidiculousMan]

Thumping win. Pakistan must bat first in the final game if they win the toss

 

[RidiculousMan]

yes Pak needs him in t20 team. right now our T20 batters are terrible and Saim might not be best in world but certainly better than Farhans and Usmans

Harris also needs to be brought back.

 

[stani_pak]

Great comeback victory and 10 wicket victory Pakistan and 10 wicket victory as always special

 

[shah9425]

Alhumdillah great comeback
Well played Saim
Rizwan

 

[sweep_shot]

Superb victory.

Congratulations to Saim Ayub. 3rd fastest century of all time for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Painful win for Saim’s critics

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim's range of shots just wow.

Saim Ayub Devilliers (SAD)

 

[mango_bite77]

Good performance, that's how we should treat minnows.

 

[Rana]

Class batting by Saim


Shades of the legendary Sharjeel Khan lacing pace on the off

 

[mominsaigol]

His legsode flick is extremely similar to sharjeel's leg side flick

 

[Nikhil_cric]

His legsode flick is extremely similar to sharjeel's leg side flick

He is wristier than Sharjeel. He's more Saeed Anwar than Sharjeel Khan imo.

 

[Josh]

Saim has brutally assaulted Gwandu. Well done !

 

[pakfan54588]

It is joke saim is not in t20 squad and they are going with sahibzada farhan.he should be added to t20 team

I am sure he's been watching Sharjeels batting on loops

 

[Dantheone]

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

He will not like Pakistan winning anything as long as Rizwan is in the team.

 

[Rana]

I am sure he's been watching Sharjeels batting on loops

He is Sharjeel’s protege

Everyone knows this in Karachi

 

[Kianig89]

He is Sharjeel’s protege

Hahahahhahahhahaha , calm my friend

 

[Ahmed216]

Everyone knows this in Karachi

Sharjeel is an institution.

 

[Rana]

He will not like Pakistan winning anything as long as Rizwan is in the team.

Bilkul sahi pakra.

Some corrections: any Pakistan team where a selfish, undeserving player with strong political connections is projected as a world class player who gets to do whatever he wants.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

It is joke saim is not in t20 squad and they are going with sahibzada farhan.he should be added to t20 team

Sahibzada got that t20 touch about him he can smash pace bowling on will dont count him out yet

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Mohammad Rizwan in post game media talk:

Past is past, if I'm talking to you right now, that's also in the past and we are focusing on the next game. The bowlers Abrar, Faisal and the others did well and then the innings from Saim Ayub was exceptional. What we have done is in the past and that's what we focus on. [on Abrar] He is a very talented and exceptional player, unfortunately he was injured in the last couple of years, what he did today is just 70% of his talent. We expect him to perform 100% in the future.

 

[Kroll]

Congratulations to all, what a memorable victory!
