Pakistan should win against this South Africa B team
MoM Nawaz
He should be batting in the top 4 in T20
The fact that Pakistan got away with a win despite playing the way they did and selecting the team they did should tell us what a poor South African side this is rather than inspiring unnecessary confidence.
Not saying that the guys who played well should not be confident, but the likes of Talat, Asif Ali, Khushdil should be disposed of.

Here comes the Urdu interviews
Pakistani fans overeating is a normality now. It wasn’t 165 pitch it was 200 pitch. Pakistan need to finish it off in the future. This was pretty much SA first 11 I don’t see this result anything less than a good win.
Here comes the Urdu interviews
And they will be with return of Hafeez, Imad,Shadab and hopefully introduction of Danish, Sharjeel and Azam.
This series well become irrelevant when we flop in t20 world cup. Nawaz, Asif Ali, talat and Fahim are not good enough imo.Chill man. Enjoy the win
You lost me at Sharjeel
Awaiting the Mamoon comment, Hassan Ali got lucky with those fluke sixes

Nawaz despite playing calmly does not look convincing, he can only hit an odd 6 he misses many balls.
People dont realize this. The guy looks lost.
Looking at the celebrations, it appears that PAK have won the T20I WC, ODI WC and Test mace all at once.
In fairness, the celebration is indicative of where they see themselves as a unit. To be so animated after this makes it clear they expected this to be a tough competition.
T20 has a tendency due to its compressed nature to bridge the gap between teams. The close-matched nature of the performances teams over this series though has more to do with actual parity rather than the peculiarities of T20.
People dont realize this. The guy looks lost.
Hassan Ali is no mug with bat, he has something razzaq about him. Although he needs to stop slogging instead play good hitter shots.
If this has been an ODI Shamsi would’ve walked all over us
He's not really a batsman, but he's got champion mentality. The opposite of a lot of TTFs who have failed to grasp opportunities in this series.
I believe atleast one of Sharjeel and Fakhar still makes the squad/team, if not both. Our T20 batting resources are pretty ordinary currently.![]()
Why would you not celebrate a series win against any team let alone SA, we hardly win series against them.
Remember Pak too have a B team with Hafeez, Fakhar, Shadab, Imad missing.
Awaiting the Mamoon comment, Hassan Ali got lucky with those fluke sixes
Hassan Ali can play in place 0f asif ali purely as batsman his bowling will be extra
Good prelude to PSL
Miller on fire
Babar Back in form
Hassan in generator mode
Congratulations..
Yes and dont forget the tussle of Hafeez, Sarfaraz and Amir.![]()
A word of caution.
This was probably South Africa's C team that took our team to the limits in both matches Pakistan won.
I’m hearing a lot of excuses about how this was Pakistan B as well, but the reality is that these players were playing at home and they have experience in these conditions.
They were up against South Africa players who have no exposure to these wickets.
Overall, Pakistan were awful and it showed where we stand as a T20I side even in home conditions.
We have no chance of competing in the WT20 whether we play our A team or B team.

True, we will need some people to rub their brain cells together and simultaneously get their act together on the field.
Mohammad Wasim needs to wake up and bring Malik back into the team, our middle order is a joke. Wasim, of all people, should know how poor our domestic system is, and Malik is probably the only batsman who is at least international standard.
Similarly we need to stop with this delusion of playing two leggies, we went in with 2 batsmen short this game and almost paid the price. Our team is too dependent on Babar Azam to hit winning runs, and we are carrying too much dead weight.
The times when Babar doesn't perform, our team fails in humiliating fashion.
I bring back my point, SAF don't care if they win or lose, that's not their problem. They are building a team for the WC, and we should be playing our B team to determine who to pick and who not to pick. They are the ones who have really won this series.
You mean unbeaten in t20i series?
Lol "Saf don't care if they will or lose" the desperation to downplay the victory is at another level.
South Africa did not gain jack from this series. Their performers were Shamsi, Miller, Pretorious and to a certain extent, Hendricks. All the above mentioned are a part of the first South African XI. Their young players were awful and partly the reason they surrendered the series.It isn't any desperation. You're deluded if you think they even care about the result. Sure they'd be happy with a win, but they aren't going to treat this loss as a huge one particularly when it's their B-Team.
They are building a team for the WC, if you read the post above rather than claiming that I am desperate to see Pakistan lose which I'm not.
I'm pointing out a simple fact that some fans aren't willing to accept, and it is the fact that South Africa are the real winners of this series through the scope of future planning.
They have identified a few players capable of playing in spinning conditions, and a few bowlers who will do well in these conditions as well. In terms of World Cup planning, they are far ahead of us at the moment. They've also made sure to use players on their bench to see who can fit in what role, and that's another plus point for them.
If this was any series against a quality opposition (not a depleted team), I'd be content with how we went about our business, but the fact is that some fans will use a victory against a C team just to feel like our team is any good.
Go through my post well and see if anything I said was indeed false.

Pakistan was ofcourse even worse. We dont stand a chance in the WT20.
