Pakistan (149/4) easily defeat New Zealand (147/8) by 6 wickets in Match 2 of the Tri-series

[Aman]

Well that's game.

Good time to try the spinners.

 

[AAli98]

This is the 3rd Nanga that has run on to the field

Why are they nange when Pakistan is playing?

Cost of living crises must have hit Nz hard.. barley any money to buy clothes

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar Azam is back.

Because target is 150.

Just his range.

Scored a hundred chasing 200 in last series. Don't try so hard u come across as a hater

 

[t_kaay]

You could almost see Babar and Rizwan frothing at the mouth as they came onto the pitch for the innings thinking about the fact that the low score gives them the perfect opportunity to play their disgusting brand of tuk-tuk that brings shame to our country

Or they were happy that they were confident of winning and would bring happiness to our country? Why always look at a negative perspective????

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Tickner is going to be key here for NZ, Pak has habit of unleashing heroes for opponents.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rizwan only times like 30 40 percent of his shots and still scores runs.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] sahb theek to ho!

 

[Kianig89]

NZ Look rusty

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Scored a hundred chasing 200 in last series. Don't try so hard u come across as a hater

I don't hate Babar.

I just find him soft.

 

[MenInG]

Ok this thread is about Pakistan's game

Lets stick to talking about the game

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Babar Azam is back.

Because target is 150.

Just his range.

3 200+ chases in last 18 months

but experts on this forum don't care about facts or stats

 

[Rana]

These kind of scores are bread and butter for Pakistan

Devon Conway needs to hang his head in shame

 

[Kianig89]

Can we string 2 wins in a row

 

[msb314]

I don't hate Babar.

I just find him soft.

Judge after the WorldT20

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Perfect chase for Babar and Rizwan.
Babar is looking good today with no pressure.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

3 200+ chases in last 18 months

but experts on this forum don't care about facts or stats

So?

Let him define this WC with some chases.

 

[mrtaim3]

Babar Azam loves the pace.

 

[Rana]

Southee the angriest kiwi in history

 

[Kianig89]

Could not have asked for a better Start stunning

 

[Aman]

Waiting for the spinners to see if this pitch was sluggish or not. Pacers have offered freebies.

 

[Rana]

NZ don’t deserve to win today

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

So?

Let him define this WC with some chases.

he will because he won't be playing on sluggish uae pitches

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Baber leading with runs and dropped.

 

[msb314]

That was a sitter

 

[Aman]

Batting seriously needs to improve. In a big rut.

No one in form or scoring runs.

Eventually some players got to come good. Can't be rubbish forever.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Steady innings by Mr Rizwan

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Southee the angriest kiwi in history

they deserve this humiliation

 

[Rana]

30 off 17

This is brilliant

 

[t_kaay]

NZ and Pakistan......very similar in every aspect of the game

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar being lucky again.

That was the chance.

 

[Rana]

100% out man

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks not out

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Think that is out.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan played well today.

I hope he remains not out.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

riz thinking of giving his back a break after carrying this team for so long

 

[Rana]

Man that’s a big blow to NZ’s chances

 

[TheSultan]

Pathetic innings by Rizwan

 

[Kianig89]

Greendige Haynes Hayden Gilchrist Jayasuriya Kalu Sehwag Sachin and now RizBar

 

[msb314]

Unlucky Rizwan

 

[t_kaay]

Unlucky. Just clipping

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Unfortunate Rizwan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not a bad thing that he got out.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Unlucky, but time for others to shine.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What a poor decision by Umpire !!

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rizwan unlucky

 

[Markhor]

Teams are dropping a lot of sitters recently.

And that's the end of Rizwan, poor day at the office for him.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan can still bottle this

 

[Kianig89]

Middle order to be tested

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Babar being lucky again.

That was the chance.

I forgot only other teams are allowed any luck

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Kiwis can't even catch now? The NZ golden era is well and truly done and dusted.

 

[Rana]

What a poor decision by Umpire !!

This will hurt NZ

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Greendige Haynes Hayden Gilchrist Jayasuriya Kalu Sehwag Sachin and now RizBar

RizBar are quite good.

They regularly chase everything less than 160.

Welcome to Shan.

He can also block around.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Oh god our middle order is so boring

 

[mrtaim3]

Top 3 are accumulators. We should really be thinking about mixing it up.

 

[Aman]

Kiwis can't even catch now? The NZ golden era is well and truly done and dusted.

Team is in a big rut.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shan and Babar will fool fans today with a no pressure chase.

 

[Kianig89]

Future Knighthood Sir Shan Masood

 

[TheSultan]

I can see Shan being a rabbit in the headlights here

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Top 3 are accumulators. We should really be thinking about mixing it up.

They will not be exposed till you play against fast scoring teams.

 

[Rana]

Not unlucky at all

It looked out at first glance

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

so now we are in the nz C team or off day for nz phase of posting

never change pp

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Pathetic innings by Rizwan

You can't perform and be the saviour every game!

I think you need to learn a thing or two about cricket my friend

 

[D/DAhmed]

Was going to cut Rizwan some slack now we know that Pakistan are practicing for Test Championship, but even then this would be considered a rubbish innings given he didn’t even blunt the new ball for the middle order

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I forgot only other teams are allowed any luck

I just mentioned he is being lucky.

No need to be salty.

His innings here won't make any difference or Pakistan winning doesn't matter either.

I think long-term.

If he defines good innings in the T20 World Cup, Pakistan will win.

 

[msb314]

Shan will drag this innings down

 

[imshally81]

Masood gone

 

[Rana]

Pak in trouble now

Your best batsman needs to come in at 3

 

[msb314]

Thanks for nothing Shan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good by masood , didnt waste any deliveries.

 

[Mamoon]

Hardworking duck by Masood. Showed a lot of guts and character.

 

[Energy]

Field day for Rizwan bashers, lol. That too off an umpiring bias.

Now look how Pakistan make a meal of this match.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Shan the anchor gone also.

Maybe we can send Iftikhar to continue the blockathon.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

this is also rizwan's fault

 

[Kianig89]

Babar :AAG:

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Didn't I say we can defend 150 and bottle 140. Here we go.

 

[Rana]

No.3 is the most important batting position in all formats

Babar has to play here!

 

[Ahmed216]

Shan will drag this innings down

Thankfully he goes quickly

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pak in trouble now

Your best batsman needs to come in at 3

Wasn't that best T20 batsmen in the world Rizwan?

 

[Kianig89]

The middle order

 

[Markhor]

Shan has a horrible record in NZ.
