Pakistan (151/5) defeat Zimbabwe (147/8) by 5 wickets in a thrilling encounter in the opener of Tri-Nation T20I series

[DeadlyVenom]

Lol Babar would be worried today, because no matter what he does today he will be trolled. Either as Zimbabar or as a failure.

It's time like this I miss @mominsaigol he would have been excited by this failure.

 

[cricfan432]

Best player of pace bowling gone.

 

[Rana]

Epic innings by Farhan with a tremendous SR

Showed great intent and displayed modern day cricket @Rana

Babar Azam played masterclass of modern day khotta rairri.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Specialist Captain Sallu in

 

[Rana]

They placed Babar at 3 and Fakhar at 6

 

[AZulfi]

Babar’s 3rd duck in his last 6 T20 innings says it all

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan continue to look like a completely abysmal team in T20's in the PP. They don't score much, there's no strike rotation and somehow they always manage to lose 2-3 wickets in the PP without any reward.

 

[adi_62941]

Here comes captain cool at number 4 because its zimbabwe and target is under 140. Hahaha

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now no one call him Zimbabwe. May be Zimpal?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar Azam played masterclass of modern day khotta rairri.

If Babar is the standard for Farhan then RIP Pakistan's T20 Cricket

 

[Sachin fan]

Just play Naseem who rested in the last ODI match.

Is this the 35 averaging Naseem you are talking about?

 

[Josh]

Deliberately under performing to remove the ZimBabar tag .. Lanka-e-Azam

 

[Azzurri]

agha T20i SR 109 hahah

 

[Rana]

If Babar is the standard for Farhan then RIP Pakistan's T20 Cricket

Nahi ab inko poori tarha Zaleel hone dou.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Here comes captain cool at number 4 because its zimbabwe and target is under 140. Hahaha

If he stays not out and chases this down. It'll be a big upgrade from what he has been doing in T20 Cricket for past few months

 

[Ahmed216]

Farhan is waste of time and space

 

[ads101]

It’ll be another fakhar and Nawaz partnership down the order that bails us out

 

[cricfan432]

Which Fool thought, drafting in babar to counter slow pitches will be great idea. He has never scored in challenging conditions

 

[The Bald Eagle]

It's time like this I miss @mominsaigol he would have been excited by this failure.

Brother @mominsaigol time for an Undertaker sort comeback

 

[hafizexpress]

Babar is only Zimbabar because he struggles against Zimbabwe. People get it wrong

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

This series will be the end of Farhan's T20 career

I hope so but don't see that happening. The only way for him to remain in the side is by taking over the gloves but he's not doing that.

p.s. This Evans guy is a throwback to old fashioned tall test-class medium fast bowlers. He delivers the balls close to the stumps and has deceptive pace and bounce. Really like the look of him. This is the kind of bowler that I want Pakistan to have in test cricket but we never get anyone like that.

 

[Rana]

Farhan messed up….

Babar was unlucky

@Raja Ishtiaq @gazza619 @Kianig89

 

[hur rizvi]

Babar keeps on getting out to incoming deliveries like a champ

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar is only Zimbabar because he struggles against Zimbabwe. People get it wrong

Zimbabwe is his crypotnite?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Throw both him and Usman out. Bring in Haris and play him in his proper position in top 3 as a dasher.

 

[Devadwal]

@RizwanT20Champ @Ahmed216 yet another for your zimbu

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Agree with Rameez about Babar being the opener

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar keeps on getting out to incoming deliveries like a champ

I think his reflexes has gotten slower. Hence why he has struggled so much since 2023.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Farhan messed up….

Babar was unlucky

@Raja Ishtiaq @gazza619 @Kianig89

One was clean bowled and the other was out due to umpires call.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball that decks back is kryptonite for entire Pakistan line up.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sallu mian gone! He needs to resign as T20 captain. Otherwise it will affect his ODI and Test form also.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Sallu mian gone! He needs to resign as T20 captain. Otherwise it will affect his ODI and Test form also.

Just not a T20 player sadly

 

[AZulfi]

Babar and Salman can enjoy Tapal tea together now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Usman should come in next. So that all ghe shaft is cleared away before the the wheat comes.

 

[hafizexpress]

Them forcibly converting Fakhar to be a finisher and change his whole batting position just months before a World Cup is criminal activity. He'll still do it because he cares about the team but this is not the way you treat your senior and most dependable batsman. Even no.4 is valid imo but anything below that means you don't value what he brings despite him not having the same abilities still

 

[AZulfi]

What a shitty batting line-up?

 

[jnaveen1980]

By the time they realize salman Agha won't find a place in ireland Zimbabwe side lot of damage will have already been done.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Just not a T20 player sadly

And there's no shame in that. Hesson should realize this quickly and swap captaincy between Salman and Shaheen in LO formats.

 

[Devadwal]

@Rana what a thrilling knock from your Gayle aka Farhan 16(15).

Now your useless captain gone for 1(2)

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is like 2438th collapse of the year

 

[RidiculousMan]

The WT20 batting is still not set. You will see a completely different order in WT20. Mark my words.

The more games there are to play leading into the world cup. The more experimentation, panics and knee jerk reactions happen from Pakistan Cricket management.

It's cowardice and lack of mental strength that results in this pattern.

 

[Devadwal]

Lovely contest between eventually matched team's.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another amazing powerplay.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Anways. I expect these two proper t20 batters. To see Pakistan through now

 

[Rana]

Completely destroyed the team and mentality with Babar return!

 

[saabir]

We already have many top to no. 4 options. But not many for 5 and 6

But your top order struggling in T20s. Too many dots inside power play and loosing too many wickets ..it's the lower middle order which was bailing them more often or not. maaz can replace Farhaan or Babar in the top 3.

 

[NeVerMind]

Why Farhan? He was the only one who took the fight back to the Indians, multiple times, in the Asia cup. Everyone else failed in the batting line up.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

This is shocking

 

[Devadwal]

Completely destroyed the team and mentality with Babar return!

Absolutely without Babar, Pakistan was unbeatan throughout the Asia cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

But your top order struggling in T20s. Too many dots inside power play and loosing too many wickets ..it's the lower middle order which was bailing them more often or not. maaz can replace Farhaan or Babar in the top 3.

But for Nawaz and few cameos from shaheen Faheem pakistan would have had a terrible record for this year

 

[Kianig89]

That's why we need a solid No 4

 

[RidiculousMan]

But your top order struggling in T20s. Too many dots inside power play and loosing too many wickets ..it's the lower middle order which was bailing them more often or not. maaz can replace Farhaan or Babar in the top 3.

Only Farhan is struggling. Saim and Babar are alright as opener and 3 and should be backed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only Farhan is struggling. Saim and Babar are alright as opener and 3 and should be backed.

Poultry man saim is not struggling? But for lives that duck counts would have been more.Lol

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Why Farhan? He was the only one who took the fight back to the Indians, multiple times, in the Asia cup. Everyone else failed in the batting line up.

You are saying as if I have an agenda against a player. He's a stodgy player who either blocks or hits a big shot & this just breaks the rhythm of the opening partnership as the other batter is not getting any opportunities.

There are also players like Hassan Nawaz, Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Haris, etc. who have left their preferred batting positions to accommodate him. If he takes over the gloves and bats at 1 then it's fine.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is pakistan reluctant to promote Md Nawaz. OInly decent t20 batsman.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Poultry man saim is not struggling? But for lives that duck counts would have been more.Lol

Nope. He seem to be finding his form back after injury.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Completely destroyed the team and mentality with Babar return!

Challo let's put it on Babar

I guess its Babars fault too that we got thrashed by India 3 times in a row in the Asia cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nope. He seem to be finding his form back after injury.

Not in T20. Even where he made runs he offered some chances.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a pathetic innings

 

[TheSultan]

It's time like this I miss @mominsaigol he would have been excited by this failure.

Where is he? Miss our brother

 

[jnaveen1980]

This saim has two shots. Slog sweep and no look shot

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Cannot believe we are struggling with Zimbabwe - 54/4 wow. Playing some test cricket here

 

[TheSultan]

To call him Zimbabar is an insult…… to Zimbabwe

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We need to remove Agha man.

 

[Devadwal]

Generation talent Gone after playing pathetic inning 22(26).

 

[Ahmed216]

But we lost to USA...

 

[Energy]

Embarrassment is happening. And it's up to the lower order again to bail out. Atleast 2, if not 3 clowns are hogging up the top 4 batting slots.

 

[Usman Chadda]

You try to accommodate players to fit their style of play, this is what will keep happening and what we deserve.

We needed Salman removed, they went one step further and added another mental midget in Babar to the team.

The batting line-up in Asia Cup didnt perform, this team is just set up to fail.

 

[saabir]

Only Farhan is struggling. Saim and Babar are alright as opener and 3 and should be backed.

Count the number of ducks Babar and Saim have earned in T20 this year alone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Embarrassment is happening. And it's up to the lower order again to bail out. Atleast 2, if not 3 clowns are hogging up the top 4 batting slots.

Md Nawaz > saim , Babar >>> salman in current form

 

[Rana]

This is bound to happen when you add a laanat like Babar into your team

 

[Asif321]

Lol Babar

 

[ask_analyse_act]

how many times will they lose to Zimbabwe

 

[Asif321]

Time for Usman to prove himself

 

[Asif321]

When you Farhan Fakhar opening was finally working you changed the whole dynamics of batting line up

 

[harshjoshi87]

Brother @mominsaigol time for an Undertaker sort comeback

Apna bhai @mominsaigol kaha gaya?

 

[RidiculousMan]

how many times will they lose to Zimbabwe

Once in every series is compulsory

 

[jnaveen1980]

Usman is mother of all hacks lol opposite of coaching manual. Look how original associate players like Tim David and Chapman play compared to this hack. He totally relies on fluke

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Tuk Tuk Tuk ............BORE FESt!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Usman is mother of all hacks lol opposite of coaching manual. Look how original associate players like Tim David and Chapman play compared to this hack. He totally relies on fluke

Worst player to play for Pakistan
