Pakistan (165/4) defeat Zimbabwe (108) by 57 runs to win the 1st T20I

[Wasim Ghulam]

Usman plays ugly shots...

yes gets into awkward positions and then plays obnoxious drives.. more like forcing himself on the ball.. No flick or timed drives

Gwandu conceding 3 runs in final over of the powerplay

 

[Kianig89]

Usman is so un-aesthetic

Bulawayo: Trophy unveiled ahead of the start of the Pakistan vs Zimbabwe T20 series

On par with Ashes the BGT Ashes
Babar-Gwandu Trophy

 

[m.shah]

Gwandu bowling well here

 

[Kianig89]

Usman SR

Usman batting at an almighty SR of near 110

Usman batting at an almighty SR of near 110

he deserved to bat for UAE pcb destroyed his career

 

[Kianig89]

PSL DeVilliers failing to middle

 

[m.shah]

he deserved to bat for UAE pcb destroyed his career

He should go back to uae

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't score and Saim out

 

[Devadwal]

Generational player gone .

Tulla Usman is still at the crease

 

[RidiculousMan]

Well at least Saim was batting positively

 

[Devadwal]

Two undeserving players are at the crease now .

 

[Omer2002]

Pak will not be winning this match i am afraid

 

[m.shah]

Usman playing with a strike rate of 100.

 

[Kianig89]

Usman playing as False 9

So pleasing

 

[mango_bite77]

Usman was never international player. He is just another Fawad, Rafatullah and Umar Amin. Not cut for highest level

 

[Kianig89]

@mominsaigol hopefully is enjoying

 

[Kianig89]

Usman playing sheet anchor

 

[shaz619]

On par with Ashes the BGT Ashes
Babar-Gwandu Trophy

Or the Gwandu-Fakhar trophy would have been nice to

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Other teams would've smashed this and be 100+ by now

 

[mango_bite77]

Pak will not be winning this match i am afraid

It's ok, lot of young players playing.

 

[m.shah]

What is the first inning average score here?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nice little partnership on going. If they bat till Tea then Pakistan will be favorites

 

[Kianig89]

Agha Rodri another so called gun player

 

[shaz619]

Blessing Muzzarabani not feeling blessed this morning; he’s like, ‘Babar, Rizwan - Where art thou in the PP?’

 

[m.shah]

Pitch looks two paced

 

[Kianig89]

What is the first inning average score here?

155

 

[Kianig89]

Tayab should have been sent in

 

[shaz619]

What is the first inning average score here?

For Pakistan it’s usually 30 runs after 10 overs

 

[m.shah]

155

Looks spin friendly

 

[mominsaigol]

Agha is such a thorn in t20 smh

 

[RidiculousMan]

Out of these top 4 today. Only Saim will be in the XI for WT20 as opener. Rest will fade away.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Looks spin friendly

It's the 3rd or 4th best spin wicket in the world since 2022

 

[Kianig89]

Agha filling in the shoes of Rizwan

 

[Omer2002]

Our captain is playing a blinder in 11ths over 8 off 11....

 

[mominsaigol]

Agha is such a thorn in t20 smh

@Devadwal so is rizwan in t20 you fraud.

Agha still > Rizwan.

 

[Kianig89]

Plenty of bowling options for Pakistan

Abrar Rauf Muqeem etc etc

 

[m.shah]

Agha is such a thorn in t20 smh

Criminal to include him in t 20

 

[Kianig89]

Our captain is playing a blinder in 11ths over 8 off 11....

@Rana must be feeling proud

 

[mominsaigol]

Criminal to include him in t 20

Criminal to make him captain and vc when rizzu returns

 

[shaz619]

Agha is such a thorn in t20 smh

He is but at least wasn’t dumb enough to open, the selectors are stupid for making him the Plan B leader, maybe they feel he is controllable.

 

[Kianig89]

Usman well set for launching now

 

[khyberlion]

Salman agha should be binned in odis and t20s. Awful player.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Criminal to make him captain and vc when rizzu returns

where is power hitting when ball arrives slow? none of our batsmen have this ability to bludgeon it out of park like samson or Tilak .. marcus stoinis showed us the other day

 

[Kianig89]

Agha the deep anchor so vital to have him in side

 

[Omer2002]

Salman agha should be binned in odis and t20s. Awful player.

I dont even like him in tests but he has done well so far somehow playing with the tail normally so i guess will regress slowly

 

[mominsaigol]

They can't play slow balls or short balls.

Too much focus on nudging, Slogging or drives.

 

[Kianig89]

So the Rizwanless team is still the same,

 

[Omer2002]

666666666 by gulli danda specialiat

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hack gone

 

[AAli98]

Pak players built like matchsticks can’t power hit big.

 

[Kianig89]

End of a not so beautiful innings ,

 

[angrypathan]

Usman is one of the worst batsmen we’ve ever had. Completely out of his depth in international cricket

 

[Kianig89]

There is lack of talent in Pak team.

sorry state of affairs

 

[Kianig89]

Agha Salman has license to play 3 games so unfortunate

 

[Hellion]

Burl has a bit of hyperextension.

 

[Hellion]

Aesthetically pleasing or not, that was a decent knock by Usman.

 

[m.shah]

Agha playing match saving inning

 

[mominsaigol]

If pakistan lose this, it'll be because of our new captain

 

[RidiculousMan]

There is lack of talent in Pak team.

sorry state of affairs

Lol it is not lack of talent. It is lack of election.

Pakistan National T20I team should have players like Saim, Harris, Fakhar, Babar, Shadab, Jamal, Mehran, Haseeb, Haider, Zaman.

 

[Sycamore]

Horrible innings from agha.

 

[imshally81]

Captain gone

 

[Shafi]

Salman himself is not even suit for ODI let alone as T20 captain. One of the worse Rizwan/Babar's replacement.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Just when Salman was looking to settle in. He's gone as well. Now who will bat till tea? Salman was absorbing the pressure well. Also why are the teams wearing colored jerseys?

 

[khyberlion]

I dont even like him in tests but he has done well so far somehow playing with the tail normally so i guess will regress slowly

Personally I don't like him in tests too. He's getting away due to soft runs. The moment he goes up the order people will be calling for his head.

 

[Ahmed216]

If Agha is a good captain he'll drop himself next game

 

[m.shah]

Captain gone

Good riddance

 

[shah_1]

Someone here said that Salman is the best middle order we have for T20I

 

[RidiculousMan]

Someone here said that Salman is the best middle order we have for T20I

Who?

 

[Ahmed216]

I want the selectors head

 

[m.shah]

Whoever is make Captain believes he has to waste balls

 

[khyberlion]

There is lack of talent in Pak team.

sorry state of affairs

We certainly don't have talent but I fail to believe we don't have better options than salman at least.

 

[Blackbradman]

Brutal innings come to an end

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

painful innings to watch. does nt matter the end result of the game

 

[Devadwal]

Someone here said that Salman is the best middle order we have for T20I

@mominsaigol

 

[Omer2002]

We certainly don't have talent but I fail to believe we don't have better options than salman at least.

We dont have talent nor any other options

 

[shah_1]

Who?

I don’t remember the username but someone after 3rd T20I against Australia.
