What's new

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

Haider and Nawaz coming good, throw out Shan and bring in Fakhar, we can live with two tulls in form of Ifti and Asif. Plus Shadab is there as well.
 
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.
The idea was right, but the execution is at fault more often than not. He has the talent to do it consistently, just needs to get better at it. For T20 cricket, we don’t need Asif to play as a proper batter.
 
NO yorker exponent. No real pace. With no swing on offer this is as toothless as it gets.

They are not impressive in the pace department but Sodhi has been absolutely crap. They are better off playing Santner who can give a bit more control atleast.

Heck KW should have bowled himself. Not sure why Sodhi got more than 2 overs.

This tickner is not even in the T20 squad. So it is beyond explicable how he plays.

Afridi was a much better T20 batsman than Asif.
 
Slow reflexes of chacha to good use in wides. Nawaz would have tried to smoke it. Chacha leaves it.
 
Nawaz and Haider should be the floating no.3s depending on matchups
 
Spectacular innings from Nawaz & in back to back games.

Surely this will give the middle order a bit more confidence after seeing what Nawaz/Shadab have done in the middle order & from the couple of games we've seen from Haider.

#3 spot is the big gaping hole on the team though.
 
That's game.

How Tickner gets games is astonishing.

Not sure if Lockie will be bakc for WC, either way should improve with Lockie and Mitchell back. Not expecting much either way, there are better teams than us and we're pretty average in T20s.
 
Honestly

Pakistan fully deserved to win after the Rizwan wicket

Afridi was a proper hitter. Would often murder spinners, both leggies and offies. Medium pacers weren’t spared either. If Afridi of 2005 played in the modern era with these 60M boundaries, he would strike at 175 consistently.
 
I have tickets for the match against Aus lol.

Could get ugly. I hope its competitive. Don't want to waste 150 to watch us get hammered.

Loved pakistan's death bowling? Credit to us we won with worst top 3 in the world
 
Time for public enemy no.1 [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] to remain in hibernation:)))
 
Looks like this is going to be a crushing win for Pakistan. At one point it looked like a cliffhanger. Kane's brainfade sealed the deal.
 
These kinda 6s Nawaz hits NO ONE ELSE in our team can do

No one has that power. Rizwan looks weak af when he tries power hitting. Babar couldn't hit a 6 on demand even if his life depended on it. But Nawaz is the real deal.
 
Honestly

Pakistan fully deserved to win after the Rizwan wicket

This onslaught was possible only because of platform set by rizbab.riz got dismissed trying to hit a six
Let the rona dhona commence
 
We deserve this humiliation.

We deserve Mohammad Nawaz.

Lockie will strengthen NZ bowling, heard he will be in WC squad
 
Such an inspidi bowling lol pace off delivery when the required rate is under 6. How are you going to take wickets.

Of the top teams, we're probably among the weakest in T20Is so to do it against us in no big achievement.

Afghanistan could beat us this WC, Hesson even said it lol.

I don't expect this team to progress to the KO stage. Form is bad and just not enough quality.

About time the pathetic middle order comes to the party.. there’s only so much 200+ chases that Rizwan & Baba can chase on there own !!
 
Great great win

After a long time I have enjoyed a Pakistan win
 
You can accuse Iftikhar of anything but not of being brainless.
 
Imad should replace Ifti as a batsman. Parchi Qadir should be replaced by Dhani in the squad.
