Pakistan (168/5) win the Tri-series by defeating New Zealand (163/7) by 5 wickets

[Rana]

Great

Rr close to 9 I believe?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Rizwan is at least trying to play some shots. Shaan masood is horrendous. He is clueless

 

[Kianig89]

oh Dear Shan you are a specialist No.3

 

[msb314]

Very poor

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Who want Masood as an opener?

 

[pratiktc]

Tucker, Bracewell, Sodhi, Neesham are all average bowlers. Even with this tortoise start, Pak should manage this chase

 

[JilaWatan]

Masood is clearly a test player. Why we keep selecting ppl in the wrong format and shattering whatever form got them selected

 

[daytrader]

Even Shan's shoes are like 'get on with it mate'

 

[Cric1234]

Asif Ali will be left chasing 15 an over in the last 5.

 

[Kianig89]

and what if shan gets out wasted 10 deliveries

 

[Rana]

Sodhi make or break

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

4 off 10, these 2 need to stay till lunch

 

[crazyfaizee]

Selfish innnimg by shaan to score 30 40 and confirm his spot...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Neither of them have any kind of timing.

 

[Kianig89]

Shane Sodhi now

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is batting like this because of our poor middle order guys

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be the pitch is holding up a bit. Even NZ had issues against slower ones.

 

[Cric1234]

Rizwan with all his experience opening surely can pick up his run rate he is after all the best T20 batsman.

 

[Gollum]

Waqar doing his bit to shield Pakistan from blame. Pitch is slow, NZ are bowling according to plan, NZ have great field placement etc etc

 

[Mas-LFC]

If only Masood came to bat instead of Nawaz last match against BD. could have been different result. This guy is clueless like Shanto! Why didn’t Pak take Fakar Zaman?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It's not pakistan vs nz, it's pakistan batting vs pakistan bowling

 

[JimmyGetsBuckets]

Sham masood is pathetic

 

[jnaveen1980]

Temba Masood lol If you want to win a match against SA don't dismissa Bavuma. Similarly Shan here.

 

[msb314]

Masood “big” shots are rubbish too

 

[Rana]

Selfish innnimg by shaan to score 30 40 and confirm his spot...

Na mate

He isn’t good enough

 

[Energy]

Shabaash Rizwan.

 

[Bilal7]

- Kane
- Kohli
- Marsh
- Malan
- Masood

Who is the odd man out and why?

 

[JilaWatan]

This is NOT how you chase. Don't understand why Pakistan decided to bat second. They can't chase

 

[Asif321]

If Pakistan can’t chase this they should go back home

 

[imshally81]

Welcome boundary for Pakistan

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Ye kaisa top 3 hai yaar, you people are so happy when RizBab score in normal matches and when there is no pressure. This stereo typical cautious top 3 will not win tourneys.

Break them apart and move them at least 2 down

 

[Cric1234]

Back to the walls stuff test is being saved only 12 overs to see out.

 

[msb314]

Much needed 444

 

[Maher96]

Shan and Rizwan, they are struggling very hard to get the ball beyond the boundary here.

The struggle is real, final game pressure is a different ball game.

 

[jattafridi]

Atleast Rizwan trying

 

[Sherazkhalid]

If only Masood came to bat instead of Nawaz last match against BD. could have been different result. This guy is clueless like Shanto! Why didn’t Pak take Fakar Zaman?

Believe he is not 100% fit. But yeah this guy is garbage

 

[MSaad1237]

Shaan Masood pleaseee get out!!

 

[Mean&Green]

Ye kaisa top 3 hai yaar, you people are so happy when RizBab score in normal matches and when there is no pressure. This stereo typical cautious top 3 will not win tourneys.

Break them apart and move them at least 2 down

Nobody is happy we are happy with what we have that’s all

 

[Rana]

Decent over

8 from it

 

[Energy]

Masood is far too animated with the running.

 

[Bilal7]

May be the pitch is holding up a bit. Even NZ had issues against slower ones.

Babar and Rizwan had four boundaries in two overs before Masood reminded Rizwan the class of the batsmen batting below him.

 

[Suleiman]

Repeat of Asia Cup final at this stage so far.

 

[jattafridi]

Shan do something before it’s too late

 

[shah_1]

I don't even like Malik, but Shan makes Malik look like bradman in comparison

 

[Rana]

Big 6 coming…

 

[D/DAhmed]

Please god get this tuk tuk parchi Masood out of the team, I would literally rather see Mohammad Yousuf pad up at this age and play the T20 WC for us

 

[msb314]

No timing from Rizwan

 

[Cric1234]

I don't even like Malik, but Shan makes Malik look like bradman in comparison

Umar Akmal with a belly is ten times the batsman Masood is.

 

[Maher96]

Awful calling so far, saying they have batted at PSL. It’s poor.

6 (12) for Masood, RR soon out of hand.

Another game with no 6 by Pakistan?

 

[Zeshan547]

Run rate below 6, wao

 

[Rana]

Its coming I tell you

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Even rizwan knows how pathetic shan is by keeping the strike

 

[jnaveen1980]

Classical cover drive by masood. 1 run.

 

[Suleiman]

Why on earth would you bring Shan back at 3 when we won without him yesterday?

At least Haider is hit or bust. Doesn’t waste overs upon overs

 

[Maher96]

Umar Akmal with a belly is ten times the batsman Masood is.

Umar the batsmen is never been in question, it’s Umar the man rather that’s the issue.

 

[Coolcapri]

Common hit some boundaries...

 

[Gollum]

Rizwan desperately needs to improve his offside game

 

[Rana]

Enjoy it guys

Enjoy it whilst it lasts with MAsooD in our team

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I mean this guy is 7 off 14 and we cry abt Riz/Baber

 

[imshally81]

The footwork of Masood is always scared me

 

[Aman]

Worst top 3 in world cricket lol.

Keep these 2 batting till the 15th over please.

 

[Nasty Naz]

This inning should be a nail in the coffin for Shan Masood. Fakhar is likely to replace him at this point.

 

[Marooned]

Shan the missing piece of jigsaw for our team

 

[jnaveen1980]

Great fluent cover drive again

 

[shujaatraza]

Classical cover drive by masood. 1 run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Masood should try T10 cricket.

 

[Rana]

Even rizwan knows how pathetic shan is by keeping the strike

They are equally as poor right now

 

[Marooned]

Shan will have his 50 by tea.

 

[Mean&Green]

Man how can you blame the middle order the top do this

 

[Ahmed216]

I've never any batsman put in more effort in a shot to pick only single. Shant20

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

If Pakistan loses this , this all on Babar who sent Masood at 3

 

[msb314]

Masood is so bad

 

[Rana]

It’s Misbah era all over again

 

[Sherazkhalid]

whats the point of world class bowling when we have ****** class batting

 

[imshally81]

444 by masood

 

[Zeshan547]

and we thought happy heart was bad, this is next level by Shani, my oh my.

 

[Rana]

Good shot Shan

 

[Cric1234]

This score is below par aswell 180 is like 280 for our team in any big match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Think about the scenario. Pakistan batting first. Babar gets out first ball. Masood walks in. Suddenly heavy rain. Match curtailed to 5 overs.

 

[msb314]

Much needed 4
