Pakistan (173) suffer back to back defeats as New Zealand (194/8) win 2nd T20I by 21 runs

Oh my. Babar looking in quite some form here.

And this is why we all ask ourselves why he doesn't play like this more often. He's had 3 aerial shots for boundaries but they were all risk free. The issue with him in PP has always been he sticks to playing ground shots which makes it really tough to score runs because you have to place it perfectly every time.
 
Tell us about his accolades?
As I said it's a team game. Can't win tournaments with likes of Asif Ali lower down the order.
Stop hating him. Doesn't make a difference to him or his life

Of course it doesn’t make a difference to him and his life…

It makes a difference to Pakistan cricket which is suffering

There’s no point in even arguing with him. He has a personal hatred for Rizwan, partially because he is a Sarfraz fan boy.

Rizwan silenced the debate about our GOAT WK batsmen forever with his performance in the Australian Test series. He has the highest average of any Asian wicketkeeper in SENA countries - ever.
 
The minute opposition crosses 200 in t20..
Pakistani batters start wetting thier pants..
In this case they should never bowl first after winning toss...Mentally weak players can't handle the pressure of scoreboard. Belter of a pitch, club size ground and they are still struggling.
Our bowlers are even worse!!! Last time we let Kohli to score 40 in 3 overs
 
4 sixes in the powerplay by Fakhar

But he isn’t an opener apparently
 
Oh my. Another majestic six from Fakhar. Safe to say NZ is Fakhar's favourite team. Just in the past year he's got like 3 centuries against them including an 180 not out and an epic century in the WC.
 
What does New Zealand see in Sodhi , I always see him go for runs
 
Fakhar zaman + short ground + non turning spinner = death warrant
 
I kinda like this batting line up... One hitter One Accumulator...needs to throw out iftikhar and azam... And bring in someone good.
 
Babar and Riz I still say are good batters but if you want them quiet or get them out all you need to do is
Rizwan : good length 4th stump take it away.

Babar : just a little fuller on a good length bring it in from off to middle

Imad Wasim instead of Azam would have been ideal but I have no clue what’s happening with Imad
 
Simon Doull:

“Where does the directive of not having Fakhar opening come from?”
 
NZ boundary riders are too good. They know each n every inch and corner of their grounds
 
So refreshing to see a pak player not slowing down for his milestone. 8 needed for 50, come down the track, 2 fours, job done
 
No he wastes PP starts off slow. Position 4 seems to be perfect for him. Besides in Paksitan team he be batting in PP overs more often than not
Yeah, he failed as an opener in T20 and now he’s batting good as a #4. So why would we move him back to opening when he’s finally batting good?
 
Babar's wicket is key here if he gets out in next 3 overs then it's a sure win for Pakistan otherwise NZ will win it again like the 1st game
 
Fakhar has made them pay for the dropped catch. How many times have Pakistan dropped another batsmen and they've done exactly what Fakhar has? Far too many times.

Great job Fakhar. Fantastic innings.

Haha bro the two culprits haven’t made it to the 40s in this game
 
Superb innings by fakhar but that was unlucky to get out in this fashion.
