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

[jnaveen1980]

That was a blinder. How did he hold on to it.

 

[Coolcapri]

NZ rattled by Sodhi over...

 

[Rana]

Go on Asif bring it home son!

 

[Mean&Green]

Unlucky af but that’s all you need to do in t20 you don’t need 100 run partnerships it’s not test cricket rizbar

 

[Kianig89]

A twist

 

[rhony]

Emotions killed his inning here. Great knock though

 

[imshally81]

58 runs in Sodhi 4 overs

 

[Rana]

NZ rattled by Sodhi over...

Most arrogant move by a captain

Sodhi doesn’t sleep at nights it seems

 

[usman_mhd123]

Great

Great knock Haider

You should be proud of yourself

Need more consistency from him. Talent is there but he must now capitalize on the chances he has been given.

 

[OmaIR1]

Fluke innings comes to an end.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Nawaz has this uncharacteristic ability of hitting the ball in the gaps unconventionally. In addition to that, he can clear the boundary without properly timing it. He has the X factor that will win you games.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Now we will make haider ali like butler but reality is opposite, he will fail 9 times out 10.

 

[imshally81]

Finally a wide..

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab should had been next. Asif may miss many balls before he hits one.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Unfortunate to be out. Good catch there.

Fantastic inning from Haider regardless. Changed the match here and Pakistan are in a winning position at this point.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Most arrogant move by a captain

Sodhi doesn’t sleep at nights it seems

Kane pretty much did the same entire IPL. Atrocious bowling decisions. One of the worst this season

 

[Marooned]

We should win it from here.

Haider Ali that's what we need from you.

He is just nervous as hell but he has the tools to be a dashing t20 bat.

 

[Rana]

Do NZ cricketers do extra jobs outside of cricket?

Is Ish Sodhi doing Deliveroo? I don’t think he gets much sleep

 

[Cric1234]

Need more consistency from him. Talent is there but he must now capitalize on the chances he has been given.

He should open the innings in the future can strike the ball well.

 

[Hextro]

Should've sent Shadab instead of Asif in my opinion.

 

[daytrader]

Only replace shan with fakhar and this team is good like any team in the world

Bingo. Somehow if we can only fit in another pacer

 

[jnaveen1980]

Waqar: T20 is not about averages. it is about strike rate, it is impact

lol Can someone translate this?

 

[Marooned]

Should've sent Shadab instead of Asif in my opinion.

Same

 

[imshally81]

Asif gone

 

[Energy]

Asif Ali, just like his darling fan. Good for nothing. Idiot.

 

[shah_1]

Asif useless Ali

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should've sent Shadab instead of Asif in my opinion.

But there are no spinners. Asif will like trundlers

 

[Coolcapri]

Inexperience shown by Haider.

 

[Rana]

Kaptaaaaaaaaaaaan

Yeh kya kiya!!

 

[Ahmed216]

Nice platform set by babar and rizwan.
and next captain asif ali goes

 

[shah_1]

That was a dolly delivery

 

[usman_mhd123]

He should open the innings in the future can strike the ball well.

Agreed but Pakistan are so damn reluctant to change the opening. Babar and Rizwan score runs but they are not efficient returns. Haider needs to learn to play ground shots though.

 

[OmaIR1]

Back to hitting 6s in the nets for Asif.

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar in

 

[rhony]

Why why? Nonsensical shot.

 

[PakPremi]

Asif has to be most useless batsmen to have played so many games consistently.

 

[Hextro]

Come on Asif use your brain.

 

[Kianig89]

Asif the hack

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kaptaaaaaaaaaaaan

Yeh kya kiya!!

This guy is captain material according to you?

 

[Cric1234]

The finisher has come in.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Nawaz will win it for PAK

 

[Rana]

Great match

 

[Energy]

Another idiot at the crease now. Game will be won by Nawaz and Shadab.

 

[Hextro]

Forgot Iftikhar was in the team.

 

[JilaWatan]

Asif can't play any other shot?

 

[IAJ]

Go on Asif bring it home son!

Lol,not this time

 

[world cup captain]

Asif is completely brainless. What was the need to play that shot with the fielder???

 

[Marooned]

Unnecessary twist.

The job is almost done

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shadab should have come

 

[Gollum]

Lets close the deal fellas!

 

[Mean&Green]

Why is this tulla trying to smash it now don’t tell me there were only 2 balls left when he came to bat this is shambolic from Asif

 

[pratiktc]

Pea brain Asif....zero game awareness

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol typical desi brains deluded by over eating in breakfast. Not surprised asif now averages below 15.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Typical Asif level innings. No real need to slog from ball 1 when the asking rate isn't that high.

 

[Rana]

This guy is captain material according to you?

Well, look at our captain butter fingers

 

[Ahmed216]

That was half hearted shot from captain. Can we have anwar ali in place of captain tomorrow?

 

[Zeshan547]

This actually make things easier, Fakhar for Shan and shaheen for Asif, if both are fit and if management have any gray matter between ears.

 

[Madplayer]

Asif is garbage.

They need 32 from 23. Basically a walk in the park.

If they can't even win this from here, no need to go to Australia.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very much Pakistan's game. You got a six hitter there. Just 4 sixes game over

 

[usman_mhd123]

Waqar: T20 is not about averages. it is about strike rate, it is impact

lol Can someone translate this?

He’s right. Babar and Rizwan’s innings of 67 off 55 is inferior to a 40 of 25

 

[Gollum]

These guys have no sense of the match situation

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Asif???

 

[JilaWatan]

I'm sorry has that afg performance by Asif ali finally expired? He can't really be relied on to close out innings

 

[Cric1234]

Super over there’s a chance today.

 

[srh]

The worst thing for New Zealand was Rizwan getting out.

exactly; he used 29 balls to only score 34 runs why he is still playing in the team as an opener?

 

[Energy]

Ifti will slow everything down. Even the running. Him and Asif are the worst things to happen to Pakistan cricket in decades.

 

[Rana]

Could have been 2 there

 

[Suleiman]

Asif is awful right now. But Iftikhar and Shan are far more awful.

Anyway should’ve sent Shadab

 

[Shaddy86]

Asif wants to out do Afridi in terms of least balls faced per innings. No matter when you send him he doesn't seem to want to play me than 4/5 balls.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is should be done in single and an odd boundary.

 

[JilaWatan]

Wow those were 2 runs

 

[imshally81]

Six by Nawaz

 

[jattafridi]

6

 

[Rana]

Nawaz world class!

He is our Shakib

 

[JilaWatan]

Such a clean hitter

 

[Madplayer]

Nawaaaaaaz another 6

23 off 18 needed now. Please dont mess it up. Its basically a run a ball.

 

[alone1213]

Lol people still want that loser imad over Nawaz.

 

[Hextro]

Asif now averages 15.5 in T20Is after playing 48 innings.

He needs to be dropped.

 

[Kianig89]

tickner ha s one more over mster

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Yes we needed that badly. Ifti hit some boundaries come on!!
