Pakistan (158/5) face danger of a 5-0 whitewash after a 7-wicket defeat in the 4th T20I against New Zealand (159/3)

[Rana]

Phillips and Mitchell playing the same innings Babar and Rizwan do game in, game out.

Yeah both Mitchell and Phillips are playing their natural game hahahahhaahahhaahahaahhaahhaahaah

 

[Croma]

70 from 45

 

[Rana]

Gillette losing the plot here

[ask_analyse_act]

NZ are winning this , boundaries are coming of easily... Pak bowlers cant stop them..

 

[shaaik]

Very easy to blame everything on Azam

No it’s always Rizwan.. he needs to be dropped for ever..

 

[Croma]

Looks like an easy chase for me if no wickets fall soon.

 

[160KPH]

Still need these 2 wickets if we want a chance to win this

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nawaz and wasim leaking runs now.

 

[castortroy]

Pak used to do pretty well in new Zealand back in the day.

However, the new zeland tours or late are nearly as bad as the tours to Australia

 

[boomboomcheema]

Another match slips away

 

[Croma]

Rauf and Shaheen will have to get Pakistan their first win

 

[OldWarHorse]

Rauf has been quite disciplined so far

 

[Ali T]

No it’s always Rizwan.. he needs to be dropped for ever..

What did Rizwan do now ?

 

[Croma]

I though NZ will target Nawaz

 

[castortroy]

Pak about to be whitewashed

Embarrassing

 

[Rana]

Imagine claiming “NZ should win because Mitchell and Phillips are playing like how Babar and Rizwan play”

I guess Babar and Rizwan open their innings with the score at 20-3 every time????

This is what I mean when the ‘growth of Pakistan cricket nation” has been stunted

 

[Croma]

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nawaz comes in and 6

 

[Rana]

No it’s always Rizwan.. he needs to be dropped for ever..

Yes!!!!

 

[castortroy]

3 nil in Australia

5 nil in New Zealand

Stop touring the southern hemisphere

 

[Mohraheem]

What did Rizwan do now ?

Rizwan was alright

 

[Mohraheem]

Who are we playing next or is it IPL season ?

 

[160KPH]

Easy catch dropped! Unbelievable by Farhan!

 

[Rana]

Sahibzada Farhan didn’t have a Race 4 saif Ali Khan game today

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pakistan is a borderline minnow team now. A win against a top opponent is considered a miracle.

 

[Croma]

interesting

n last match Finn played 62 balls and scored 137 runs. Today Rizwan played 63 balls and scored only 90 runs. This is the difference between Pakistan and other top teams in all formats.since the start of 21st century Pakistani cricket is always 5 years behind. And you can see the results.

 

[kingusama92]

Farhan has had a shocker of a debut.

 

[Abdullah]

Easy chase

Will be if we field like a club team

 

[Ahmed216]

Yes drop Rizwan

 

[160KPH]

Nawaz should have had two wickets right now if Pakistan took their catches. This is unbelievable.

 

[Croma]

On top of all the crap, Farhan drops a sitter

 

[Ahmed216]

Lack of penetration in middle overs costs us again. N catching of course

 

[hamzie]

We need Julian fountain back

 

[Croma]

51 needed off 36.

But I have been saying this for 3-4 years here

Yet guys like me are the villains

 

[Energy]

What a tool Farhan has proven to be.

 

[Croma]

Yes drop Rizwan

Rizwan and Babar are undroppable

 

[Rana]

Lack of basic cricket brains is costing us basically

 

[Rana]

Yes drop Rizwan

Indeed

Do what you must!

 

[Croma]

Zaman can get a wicket with his variations.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Easy catch grassed by farhan. Poor stuff

 

[Fazzy321]

Zaman got no pace at all how is he a death specialist?

 

[BouncerGuy]

SO it is gonna be 4-0 soon.

 

[Croma]

1 1 0

decent start by Zaman

 

[Rana]

Zaman and Abbas have been good finds

Ayub 8 catches in the series so far

 

[hitthestump]

Farhan isn't international level. Domestic bully but it's too big a step up for him

 

[160KPH]

Zaman got no pace at all how is he a death specialist?

He bowls perfect yorkers

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good overs so far by Zaman..Need a wicekt though

 

[Croma]

1 1 0 1

Really good from Zaman

 

[Ahmed216]

Zamans been a positive

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Pak is a different gravy once they strike with new ball

Lol have this many times , they even take 5 wickets early then stops there gifts them 200 and 300 runs after that...

Same thing gonna happen here , Nzl would win with 7 wickets in hand or Pak will take 1 more wicket at the 17th or 18th over when there is only 5 or 6 runs needed...

 

[Ali T]

I really think it's unfair to blame Rizwan today.
He's the only reason we made above 150. The others have a lot to answer for.
Hadn't watched too much of the previous game but seems like this pitch is also not as easy to bat on?

 

[Croma]

Only 6 runs from Zaman

 

[BouncerGuy]

5 overs 45 needed. Easy I guess

 

[castortroy]

I don't th

Pakistan is a borderline minnow team now. A win against a top opponent is considered a miracle.

I don't think it's borderline. They are a minnow team and probably the same bracket as srilanka and Windies.

Yeah completely different pitch. Also the previous grounds were very very small.

 

[Croma]

45 in 30 is still NZ's game to lose

You really are better off being bowled out for 100 if you seriously intend to not play this game with the right intention.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Sahibzada Farhan shells an absolute dolly at long-on!

May be this is why then didnt give him a chance in the first 3 games.. what kinda fielding is that and he is standing in the long on region where the best of fielders usually cover it..

Cant these think tank see how good is Farhans fielding is...

 

[BouncerGuy]

that catch would have brought pakistan back in the game but yes. Norm for this team

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen Abbas Zaman Naseem Abrar

Rauf is fast losing interest in playing for Pak

 

[BouncerGuy]

6 to SSA.....game over

 

[castortroy]

For me the pak white ball attack is arguably one of the worst at international level

The likes of Rauf, Hasan Ali and afridi have been getting smashed for the last year or so

 

[boomboomcheema]

Comfortable victory in the end for NZ

 

[160KPH]

Mishit falls safely

 

[Croma]

Only 34 from 24 required

 

[castortroy]

Pak cricket is definitely going down the hockey route

 

[Rana]

Pakistan will take this deep

Rauf and Zaman will bowl alright I recon

 

[zarak]

Shaheen slower ball is so telegraphed he's jogging in.

 

[BouncerGuy]

4 over just 34 needed...all done and dusted,

 

[Rana]

Pak cricket is definitely going down the hockey route

Well, you have hockey players opening the innings for you so why not?

 

[castortroy]

Lol

 

[Croma]

Rauf....

 

[Rana]

Jaa yar Rauf

What has happened to him?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Easy peesy now.

 

[castortroy]

Rauf must be the most expensive bowler at this level?

 

[Croma]

Intersting, SHaheen completed his quota

 

[Ahmed216]

Much better pitch in second innings

 

[Mohraheem]

Rizwan and Babar are undroppable
