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

[Rana]

Go on Boult

Proper Yorker please

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Everything looks fine, apart from Asif opening the innings. We are not that bad yet !

Whats the worse that could happen?

Asif tees off a few and Pakistan end up 20/1 in 2 overs?

Babar and Rizwan can then continue their customary style.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This is poor captaincy here

Boult has 2 overs and he can still apply a lot of pressure by sneaking the wicket of Nawaz at least

Pakistan have three mentally shot cricketers in the side

Here he is !

 

[Rana]

He has clearly lost pace Boult has

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nawaz has no idea whats happening.

 

[AAli98]

Nawaz & shadab turn into miller & buttler wen comparing them to asif & Ifty

 

[Energy]

It is.

A few more tinks and its perfectly what we need in the WC.

1. Asif
2. Rizwan
3. Babar
4. Shadab
5. Nawaz
6. Haider or any other alternative
7. Iftikhar
8. Haris
9. Shaheen
10. Waseem Jr
11. Naseem

I have always said this team has potential to reach the final.

Ridiculous to have Asif as opener over a world class player. Feel free to slot him at 7 or 8 or 9.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Whats the worse that could happen?

Asif tees off a few and Pakistan end up 20/1 in 2 overs?

Babar and Rizwan can then continue their customary style.

20/1 in one of matches is fine, but you can't afford 20/1 in 9 out of 10 times. I would rather take Fakhar to open

 

[MHN1293]

Everything looks fine, apart from Asif opening the innings. We are not that bad yet !

Switch out asif for sharjeel/fakhar and this can be our best lineup.

 

[Rana]

Why did he want to give Nawaz the single?

 

[Usman Chadda]

How will we know if we don't try?

Today we finally tried Shadab and its yielded some dividends.

We need to score with more "intent" in all games.

We might not get 200 in EVERY game but we won't miss 160, that I assure you.

The middle-order’s issue is not intent, it’s a lack of adequate brain cells and a small matter of skill-set.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Is Pakistan going to take this to the 20th over?

 

[Rana]

A wicket now and it will be so fun

 

[Fazzy321]

Boult a mental midget against Babar lol

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

meaningless platitudes like 'intent' 'jazba' 'daleri' don't win matches

 

[Saj]

Nawaz sticking out.

Others would have played their cameo of 3 from 4 balls and already be back in the pavilion by now.

 

[Rana]

Nawaz swatting some flies out there

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak looks under pressure !

 

[angrypathan]

Why did he want to give Nawaz the single?

So Southee could have a crack at the other end

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol.nawaz has been beaten.on 7 occasion nows

 

[Rana]

Yes Southee command these fielders

 

[AAli98]

If Asif & Ifty have any self respect they should announce there retirement before Nawaz heads back into the pavilion!!

 

[t_kaay]

Waqar thinks NZ can still win......he's lost the plot. NZ haven't got the bowling firepower to turn this around.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

meaningless platitudes like 'intent' 'jazba' 'daleri' don't win matches

We have lost the Asia Cup.

Lost the 7 match T20 series.

Surely, status quo doesn't help either.

 

[Rana]

That was as out as Rizwan was

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Glad he didn't give it out. NZ taken review though !

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need to finish it off now.

 

[crazyfaizee]

Tim southee has aged too early . Looking like ifti chacha..

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Nawaz swatting some flies out there

told you he fluked that innings he's not a top order batter unlike shadab

 

[MenInG]

Waqar thinks NZ can still win......he's lost the plot. NZ haven't got the bowling firepower to turn this around.

If the game goes into the 20th over then we have a problem

 

[Rana]

Babar was 31 off 17

He is now 62 off 43

 

[t_kaay]

If the game goes into the 20th over then we have a problem

Will be over in the 19th, if not earlier.

 

[Rana]

Game is set for Remember the name to hit 2 sixes and make the entire nation go crazy

 

[Energy]

Pakistan's winning mantra is clear. Asif Iftikhar Haider or Khushdil should not bat on the ground, during the match. And score their quote of runs in the nets.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar was 31 off 17

He is now 62 off 43

You can cut him some slack.

He is chasing 150 after all.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

26 off 24 balls, they need to hit boundaries.

 

[t_kaay]

Babar was 31 off 17

He is now 62 off 43

Because Shadab came in and took over the hitting. You always this negative? The man has done his job.

 

[Rana]

You can cut him some slack.

Mate this is getting a bit tense

 

[Energy]

Entire nation are not nutters.

haha

Must be impressive in the nets though to get picked.

 

[Markhor]

Let's not drag this out unnecessarily. Finish it off !

 

[Rana]

Because Shadab came in and took over the hitting. You always this negative? The man has done his job.

I’ve just provided a stat

Not an opinion

Relax!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nawaz just cant touch the ball

 

[boomboomcheema]

So many dot balls. What's going on. Leaving a lot for the final over.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Mate this is getting a bit tense

Not enough runs for NZ.

20 more would have made it an interesting match.

 

[Rana]

Babar you need to take the risks mate

Not the guy who just came in

 

[Rana]

Not enough runs for NZ.

20 more would have made it an interesting match.

Harris Rauf 100% man of the match

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar you need to take the risks mate

Not the guy who just came in

Bro nawaz isnt taking risks ,he just cant touch.the ball

 

[t_kaay]

So many dot balls. What's going on. Leaving a lot for the final over.

Boult has bowled well. See him off. Its his final over.

 

[Rana]

Oh God we are entering Aqib Javed territory

 

[MenInG]

Shan explaining why he got out!

 

[Rana]

Oh my days this is getting Saucy

 

[mrtaim3]

Nawaz is not the answer

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

surely it's the guy striking at 150 that's the problem

not the guy striking at less than a 100

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Nawaz has been poor, cant blame him. Not his job to come at 5.

 

[Energy]

Now the shivers begin.

 

[t_kaay]

Brain ****. It's his last ball of his quota. Why???????

 

[Saj]

Dear me, they are making hard work of this.

Some thoughtless batting out there.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Nawaz ain't cut for it. Time to send Asif Ali and finish it off.

 

[Markhor]

Rubbish innings from Nawaz. Innings against India was a fluke. His batting hasn't kicked on at all since his international debut.

Shouldn't bat higher than 8 in any format.

 

[shah_1]

Imad wasim>>>>Nawaz


Bowler and batman in T20 cricket

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Babar you need to take the risks mate

Not the guy who just came in

played 20 balls in a t20 equals just came in

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pathetic knock by Nawaz.

 

[Rana]

Bro nawaz isnt taking risks ,he just cant touch.the ball

But he wants to

Babar is the one set at the crease

He is 64 off 47

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nawaz was never the answer. Shadab is way better than him , imad waseem any day over nawaz.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Nawaz has been poor, cant blame him. Not his job to come at 5.

It was that India match that made us think so.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Our tailenders now exposed

 

[Saj]

Shan explaining why he got out!

And nobody seems to be listening.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another batsman in who is actually not

 

[shah_1]

Babar has been so poor since his fifty

 

[Shafi]

Nawaz gone!!! Apart from Babar there is no proper batsman. Parchi Haider is on.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Haider in ahead of Asif !!! Rightly so, 18 balls are too much for ASIF.

 

[Mankaded]

Good decision to promote Shadab followed by a bad one to promote Nawaz. Pak cricket, one minute up, next minute down.

 

[Rana]

Sodhi can bowl to Asif no worries

 

[castortroy]

All these batters will be bounced out in Australia on those big grounds

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Send in Haider who is already struggling.

 

[Mainul]

If Babar gets out now it will be NZ who will be favourite. Haider, Iftekhar,Asif are all walking wicket

 

[Shafi]

Imad should select ahead of Haider/Ifti/Khusdil/Asif. Parchi Qadir needs to be removed

 

[Mankaded]

Another surprise. Haider in, was expecting Wasim Jr.

 

[msb314]

Good batting
