Pakistan [165/3] defeat Zimbabwe [141/7] by 24 runs in the 3rd T20I to win series 2-1

[Rana]

Not going with Fakhar at top is hurting Pakistan and it will unless we change our playing 11.

Let them do what they want bro

It’s Misbah’s time to shine in the sun. Let him do as he thinks right

 

[Tubs]

Nice by Wesley, really talented young player.

 

[Markhor]

Zimbabwe still need a couple of big overs. Pakistan must take pace off the ball.

 

[sindhiboy]

Zim need a 15 run over now

 

[Rana]

Pakistan should have lost 3-0

 

[90MPH]

Bowl the slower balls, and the odd Yorker.

It’s not the hit the deck wicket.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

All those clueless people defending babars knock saying this is more than good enough. Where are you now? Regardless of the result, mamoon is right when he says Pakistani fans don’t understand batting.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Zimbabwe have been the better side in this by a comfortable margin. Quite a change in fortune for Misbah and co

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Required Run rate is too much for Zimbabwe . Pakistan got this one .

Zimbos are favorites. They have 9 wickets in hand. Wickets seem to have improved.

 

[Rana]

Zim need a 15 run over now

Hassan Ali?

 

[IMMY69]

Slower balls are the order of the day.

 

[MRSN]

I hate Sarfaraz and his monotonous 1 wicket ke baat hai. Shut up bc.

Well he wants to contribute lol

 

[Rana]

Who was the idiot there in the field??!!

 

[ravisurya]

What happened to all the pposts about people not understanding the game and how this score was equal to 200 on other pitches??

 

[TeymurBlake]

Zimbabwe's strike rotation is quality. There's potential to this Zim team.

 

[MRSN]

Pathetic fielding there

 

[TeymurBlake]

WOW. Sharjeel Khan looks good in the field.

 

[Rafa]

Wickets always improves when Babar Azam is not at the crease. Last match he made 120 look like an impossible target on the same wicket.

 

[Rana]

I wonder what todays excuse is gonna be

Rizwan taking twos instead of boundaries

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Who was the idiot there in the field??!!

At the moment every one looks like one..
Especially babar

 

[MRSN]

Irrespective of the result. Zimbabwe has us on our toes. This is true level of our team.

 

[Rafa]

No dot balls. They are not playing dot balls, constant strike rotation . Babar was playing dot balls till the very end of the innings.

 

[90MPH]

Zimbabwe's match to lose.

Even if they win this I reckon they would be a little disappointed considering they had the chance to win the 1st game

Not really, a wicket will go down and they will implode. Hard for the new batsman on this wicket

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Rizwan taking twos instead of boundaries

That was equally pathetic ..
Not sure what he was trying to achieve there .. maybe learned from babar to statpad

 

[Ahmed216]

Koi na bhai we're going to win by 10 -15 runs

 

[Titan24]

It’s Misbah’s time to shine in the sun. Let him do as he thinks right

I think he has already shined. Not sure if he is the sole one to be blamed but thats a pathetic performance against Zim and requires introspection from PCB bosses.

 

[Rana]

Rauf easily is the only decent pace bowler we have for T20s

People need to wake up to this reality soon

 

[Abdurmirr]

Rizwan taking twos instead of boundaries

Gonna blame Rizwan for covid while you're at it?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan to win with Rizwan being the clear difference. Otherwise, theres little separating these 2 teams in these conditions.

 

[MRSN]

What happened to all the pposts about people not understanding the game and how this score was equal to 200 on other pitches??

Defensive mentality is defeatist mentality.

 

[Rana]

Faheem having a stinker out there with the ball

 

[IMMY69]

Seamers need to bowl cutters and slower balls.

 

[Cric1234]

We’re an inconsistent mediocre team.

 

[Tabishbeigh]

This is as bad as a loss.

 

[Devadwal]

Any hitter in this Zimbabwe team ?? Don't think so ?

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Such an intense FINALE between the two giants of the game!

 

[TeymurBlake]

If Pakistan fail to defeat Zim then the South Africa victories mean nothing. Misbah and management staff have to sacked.

 

[Rana]

It was a 4 not a six!

 

[Zeshan547]

you lowers bowl some damn cutters or slow balls only.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What a six.

 

[Shafi]

PCB may rushed to extend Misbah's contract to keep him longer if we loose this match.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

No dot balls. They are not playing dot balls, constant strike rotation . Babar was playing dot balls till the very end of the innings.

First he was looking for that fastest 2k runs..
And then clearly playing for his 50 ..
On 49 he dabbed juicy fulltoss for a single

 

[Greenstorm]

Relying on accumulators may cost us today.

 

[Cric1234]

We deserve to lose just for playing Asif Ali and Danish Aziz on this tour.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Dark times coming for Pakistan cricket we have been exposed.

 

[Zeshan547]

that's more like it.

 

[Rana]

Relying on accumulators may cost us today.

They faced 85% of the innings

 

[Devadwal]

Is this match Live streaming in india?

 

[TeymurBlake]

Not playing Shaheen can't be the sole reason Pakistani bowlers are struggling for wickets. And that Babar innings is proving to be a match losing contribution.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Exciting cricket by 2 evenly matched sides.

 

[Rana]

PCB may rushed to extend Misbah's contract to keep him longer if we loose this match.

The worst coach in the history of the game!

 

[Amjid Javed]

zimbos should fancy winning game from here.

 

[Ahmed216]

Dropping Arshad iqbal was a stupid decision. Ideal bowler for these conditions

 

[marlonbrowndo]

One of these 2 should look to hit out. Zimbabwe’s 2 best batsmen are still to come

 

[TeymurBlake]

Should have caught that Faheem, difficult but should have been taken.

 

[street cricketer]

Pak will win but the fact that the last 3 matches against a weakened Zimbabwe or the matches against SA B team have been very competitive should worry the Pakistani team management.

 

[TeymurBlake]

And after one game, Arshad Iqbal looks to be a go to bowler. WOW!

 

[Mesozoic]

Is this seriously happening again?

 

[Cric1234]

Misbah fans on a new high were heading fore greatness.

 

[Rana]

Sharjeel got out at the wrong time. He was looking good to take Pakistan to 180+

Fakhar at 3 would have been a better option considering how Babar has been sluggish

Hafeez not used at all lol

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak will win but the fact that the last 3 matches against a weakened Zimbabwe or the matches against SA B team have been very competitive should worry the Pakistani team management.

I suppose you missed all the cake cutting and celebrations after wining those historical series in SA.

 

[TeymurBlake]

On the other hand, a couple of dot balls can change the game for Pakistan.

 

[shariqnoor]

I think taking a wicket probably will hurt Pakistan more. Better chance of restricting the current 2 batsmen then if Taylor and Williams are at the crease.

 

[90MPH]

Pak will win but the fact that the last 3 matches against a weakened Zimbabwe or the matches against SA B team have been very competitive should worry the Pakistani team management.

Lol Pak don’t have a team management and if they did they sure don’t worry.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Shut up Safaraz.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Sunzi]

Much needed.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Splatttttt

 

[Devadwal]

RR close to 10 ,very very difficult for Zimbabwe now

 

[shariqnoor]

I think this wicket helps Zimbabwe more.

 

[Zeshan547]

I think taking a wicket probably will hurt Pakistan more. Better chance of restricting the current 2 batsmen then if Taylor and Williams are at the crease.

Hasnain don't have that fast bowler swagger, no celebration, had hai yar itna nice bnay ga tu nai chalay ga bhai it's international cricket.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Taylor will be key

 

[IMMY69]

I suppose you missed all the cake cutting and celebrations after wining those historical series in SA.

Other teams celebrate with a few beers, doesn't matter who they beat.
Let these guys celebrate with a cake.

 

[TeymurBlake]

And a wicket.

 

[MRSN]

Shut up Safaraz.

) he is so annoying. Players like him should not be in the squad. He is useless taking spot of anothee deserving candidate but we know why he is there.

 

[MRSN]

Hasnain don't have that fast bowler swagger, no celebration, had hai yar itna nice bnay ga tu nai chalay ga bhai it's international cricket.

It's because he knows he is not that good unlike Hassan.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ohhh, how did Taylor survive there.

 

[Rana]

Great over by Hasnain

 

[silentkiller187]

Another failure for sharjeel again :: needs to join asif Ali and danish on the red list. Pak really should win from here

 

[Zeshan547]

) he is so annoying. Players like him should not be in the squad. He is useless taking spot of anothee deserving candidate but we know why he is there.

give the guy a break he is only filler for today. So just chill and rubbishness of Asif and danish left no Choice.
