Pakistan [169/6] defeat South Africa [164/8] by 4 wickets in the 3rd T20I to take series 2-1

[ARK Rafay]

This over is crucial

 

[Firebat]

Faheem the last batsman. Tailenders next

 

[uberkoen]

lol this win predictor is a joke

 

[Energy]

End of an absolutely poor series with the bat for Babar.

 

[Ahmed216]

Which is babar better at the cut or the cover drive.

Worst at the straight ball these days

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

How is it still 63% Pakistan? Does WinViz not know Pakistan has Nawaz to come

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

That was not a nothing delivery @guys calling it a nothing delivery

 

[Fahdi]

That darted back quite a bit to get Babar there...

 

[Hasan123]

I made it. Remind me what other Babar’s generation have to offer?

I don't care who the batting benchmark of this generation is. I just know it is not Babar Azam.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Was that reverse swing there from Pretorius?

 

[MHN1293]

All will be well when Baba bottler Azam plays his pretty 60 (40) in the circus league coming up.

More like 50 off 43
He strikes at 120 in the tamasha league.

 

[castortroy]

How many times have I seen Asif Ali do that

 

[ARK Rafay]

A nothing shot by Asif Ali. Just chipped it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif?

Told ya all

 

[imshally81]

Outt

 

[PakFan2010]

Shamsi is the best in the world.

 

[uberkoen]

Man of all the people. Shamsi, really? The dude is grossly overweight and has a horrible bowling action. This is just embarrassing

 

[ARK Rafay]

Was that reverse swing there from Pretorius?

Looked like it nipped sharply of the seam.

 

[castortroy]

70-7 and then losing to SA B team in a decider

Heads should roll

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The most unsurprising thing to happen tonight.

Asif Ali holing out to mid on...

 

[Titan24]

Another one to Shamsi. Lol

 

[Mean&Green]

Needles from asif ali had to just play out two balls

 

[Omer2002]

How clever asif...this team is full of clowns..

 

[ARK Rafay]

How is it still 63% Pakistan? Does WinViz not know Pakistan has Nawaz to come

Faheem Rana's effect.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan's batting relies on Rizwan and then Babar nowadays.

 

[shamaan]

Hassan ali batting master class

 

[imshally81]

We don't have more batsman now

 

[Titan24]

I don't care who the batting benchmark of this generation is. I just know it is not Babar Azam.

Then you can say its a poor generation, not that Babar isnt the benchmark.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

We lost now clueless batters

 

[saeedhk]

Shahid Ali gone!

 

[Energy]

As usual. Asif Ali ensuring that the worst of the lot medal is for his taking. I've been watching him trying to clear the ropes since 3 years. Still can't do it.

 

[msb314]

Asif Ali is brainless as always..

 

[Yk313]

Azam out to a nothing delivery

Not really.

Decked in a bit but if he had been playing with a straight bat in an ODI or a Test the same delivery would likely not have gotten him.

Having said that, he needed to see PAK home regardless.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Hassan ali batting master class

Think I would fancy him to score more than the likes of Haider, Asif and Talat.

 

[babajee]

Rana jee will take us home

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The least that all the Mohammad Waseem supporters here can do is admit how badly Pakistan need Malik at the World Cup after the dreadful way in which these domestic kings have played spin.

 

[MHN1293]

I predicted 5for for Shansi.

 

[castortroy]

This will be up there with the Sri Lanka white

 

[coy0607]

Classic Asif Ali innings

The best bowler has 3 balls left. Why see him out when you can play a stupid shot

 

[Savak]

Sometimes I can't disagree with Mamoon, our players lack serious game awareness

 

[Rana]

All hope lies on Faheem and Hassan to get these runs

 

[saeedhk]

I remember how Asif and team management kept blaming his Asif’s performance on his deceased daughter. That was really pathetic!

When will we get rid of this horrible player?

 

[imranraf]

That’s such a brainless shot. No awareness of the situation

 

[Zeshan547]

How clever asif...this team is full of clowns..

Bhai game awareness, wo kis bala ka nam hai?

 

[castortroy]

Been watching asi Ali play that shot for the last 2 years

 

[Usman Chadda]

Atleast we used to destroy such weak teams under Mickey, right now I have full confidence in our team dropping matches to Kenya, Uganda aswell.

Misbah fans will obviously brush this off as a mickey mouse game, ignoring the fact that we should be thrown out of the World T20 the way we are playing.

 

[Hasan123]

Then you can say its a poor generation, not that Babar isnt the benchmark.

The 2010s will be remembered as the era of the fab 4 and it looks like they will play a lot of years in the 2020s. So they are more worthy of the batting benchmark than Babar Azam.

[uberkoen]

Sometimes I can't disagree with Mamoon, our players lack serious game awareness

Says the guy who has no awareness whatsoever

 

[castortroy]

Miler game changer

 

[MHN1293]

I predicted 5for for Shansi.

1 short

 

[saeedhk]

As I have said many times before, the main problem with Pakistani players is that they lack match awareness. Our bunch are simply not street-smart.

 

[rollingstoned]

Babar is talented but overrated. Can't believe how much shamsi is running rings around pakistan batsmen.

 

[shamaan]

Think I would fancy him to score more than the likes of Haider, Asif and Talat.

Atleast he can hit the ball unlike our batters

 

[Tabishbeigh]

If your choices are ifti ,khushdil, talat and asif ali there is a serious dearth of talent.

 

[Rana]

Softie Nawaz

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why Nawaz looks such a dud with the bat now?

 

[imranraf]

It’s SA’s game from here. Need a Fahim master class. Lately he has been our second best bat after Rizwan

 

[Firebat]

47 from 30. Really wouldn't be impossible if we still had actual batsmen at the crease

 

[lahoriyah1234]

How is that possible that u need to be told how to bat in certain situations unbelievable. Why give shamsi wicket when he clearly the pick of the bowler. Pakistani batsmen lack common sense. Babar got a good one, time to take it to the last over.

 

[Fahdi]

He averages 38 in List A. On what grounds should he get a chance over all the guys who average 40+ are probably not mentally weak and still struggle to make the playing eleven?

Just saying that's the format which suits him best.

 

[Hasan123]

Any Pakistan fan who talked about SA going down the Zimbabwe route or SA cricket being finished deserve the humiliation

 

[castortroy]

They way these batters have played Shamsi has been utterly embarrassing

 

[imshally81]

Can we get ride iftikhar, Khushdil, talat, asif & rauf... After this series?

 

[Firebat]

All on Faheem now

 

[AAli98]

The best one was Babar is smith kohli williamson roooooot all rolled in one!!

 

[Dark_Horse]

Pak should play proper batsman in place of asif ali and co

 

[Rana]

Bata ki Softie award of the year candidates:

Khushdil Shah
Mohammad Nawaz
Talat Hussain
Iftikhar Ahmed
Faheem Ahsraf's bowling

I think you have got an extra 't' in 'butler' there.....

 

[uberkoen]

Miler game changer

Did you figure that out all on your own?

 

[imshally81]

666666

 

[MHN1293]

Faheem sobers.

 

[Energy]

Shabaash Faheem. As pathetic a bowler you have been, this series you have been the second coming of Saeed Anwar with the bat.

 

[sweep_shot]

40 runs are needed from 26 balls.

 

[srh]

Shamsi's overs are done so Pakistan has a good chance against this team as they dont have any good bowlers apart from Shamsi

 

[Zeshan547]

As I have said many times before, the main problem with Pakistani players is that they lack match awareness. Our bunch are simply not street-smart.

You nailed it.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Seriously tho these are the guys keeping Shoaib Malik out? They can't play spin if their life depended on it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klusener Run out ?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ahsan Raza > Shozab Raza

Change my mind

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You nailed it.

I've said this for decades
