Pakistan (178/5) defeat New Zealand (169) by 9 runs in a thrilling encounter to level the 5-match series at 2-2

[RidiculousMan]

Usman's not in Bazid's squad. He's picked Rizwan, Haris and Azam. Three keepers is excessive.

Yea so my squad will be exactly the same as his as well. I agree with his picks. Except that maybe for Rizwan I would bring in another spinner like Usman Tariq.

 

[heddie19]

Ofc I am watching unlike you whos cricketing sense is 0. It was a good ball coming in at pace. He should have played it with a straight bat but nevertheless. Superb inning by the King.

Maybe you should watch what happened just now .

 

[mominsaigol]

What is the par score here?

200+?

Get rid of this misbah sorry I meant chacha. I feel like misbah has been reincarnated. Every time I see this bozo play I get even more angry then seeing rizwan.

 

[Kroll]

What is the par score here?

200+?

Heard Babar was aiming for 180-190

 

[Caved12]

I am afraid of another 10 runs short situation today

Mate, I'm pretty sure people have claimed that about you. Khair keep it cool on insults. Tameez, no need to mimick babar's attitude on the field

 

[topspin]

This is exactly what I've been saying from day 1.

It's like someone did gene therapy and transferred Misbah's DNA over to chacha's body.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This team bats like Afghanistan. Pathetic, they are really hard to watch.

 

[emranabbas]

chacha 420 gone

 

[Human786]

I think so, not much in this pitch

agasr fixing zinda hai . 2-2 here

 

[Energy]

Chacha's reflexes exposing his age.

 

[Asad T]

our expert finisher can't even hit a full toss

 

[mominsaigol]

@Major

Jee what was that about not being able to hit neesham? Abh samaj ai misbah 2.0 ki?

Moron got out on a full toss.

 

[Barragan]

Iftikhar is trash.

Fraud mania gone

buzurg ko kyun attack kartey ho ?

Oh Chacha, you made Misbah proud with your run a ball knock.

The Misbah fan club salute you.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Two full tosses.. he missed couple of them in last game too

 

[Asad T]

Shadab showing how it should be done

 

[Omer2002]

Pretty poor this i did predict a loss against so called kiwis C team

 

[emranabbas]

Good shot by shady

 

[Kroll]

And chacha over and out

 

[shah_1]

Chachu is a trash

 

[topspin]

I think so, not much in this pitch

I agree. People are exaggerating about the "slowness" of the pitch. It's just poor batting.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Mate, I'm pretty sure people have claimed that about you. Khair keep it cool on insults. Tameez, no need to mimick babar's attitude on the field

@heddie doesn't even attend match threads when Babar gets out early.

He is only there to cheer Babar.

Pakistan losing or winning has zero value for him as long as Babar scores.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Wasn’t Iftikhar celebrated as a huge hitter just a little while ago?

 

[jattafridi]

come on shadab Pakistani hero

"Get this man in earlier" Lisa Sthalekar on Shadab
One of the few intelligent things she is said all night

Iftikhar is trash.

Still loads of folks on this forum clamouring for his inclusion.

Shady is a gem.

1st ball

Shaddy not too shabby.

 

[PakPremi]

End of Babar.

Just missed this gem, why is Usama still playing today?

He is not international standard, Abrar should have played today.

I think they decided on Abrar to be slected and want to see Usama for last time before squad announcement.

Woh kaun hai?

 

[jnaveen1980]

That’s because you don’t have clowns for batters besides Kohli.

Kohli is getting exposed because the talent coming through India is crazy.

I understand your point. Despite all that he doesn't need to slow down once the power play is over. He has to maintain a certain tempo. Checking the cricinfo data , at one point he made 25 runs in 22 balls. That is a lot of balls for not many runs. Mistake is on both sides. One doesn't justify other. Both have room for improvement.

 

[heddie19]

I sure can't be as humble as Babar is.

Mate, I'm pretty sure people have claimed that about you. Khair keep it cool on insults. Tameez, no need to mimick babar's attitude on the field

Only in low quality domestics. But fish out of water even against Intl C sides.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Another juicy full toss mistimed to fielder.. slow pitch has nothing to do with this

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

As I said this format is for young people. Players like chacha should be given pension from here on and they should go and start coaching teenager's in cricket park about how to hit sixes. This guy is literally 42 but someone in govt has mistakenly told him reverge age which is 24.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shaheen should've come in. Imad is not a six hitter like Shaheen

 

[adi_62941]

Woh kaun hai?

Fraud iftmania

 

[topspin]

Shaheen should've come in. Imad is not a six hitter like Shaheen

I agree. Imad should've come in instead of chacha for the last 5 overs.

 

[Shafi]

30 runs short!!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Poor finish from Pakistan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Batting has failed yet again for nth time in this series. Only bowlers can save this now

 

[jattafridi]

175 now Pakistan can’t lose

2-2

He doesn’t have the skillset to do that, and definitely needs improvement.

Both Rizwan and Babar slow down considerably in the middle-overs, and with the kind of hitting we have in limited overs cricket nowadays, that is criminal.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

He is a finisher. He comes on late like today. And gets 12 balls to score and score quickly.

Another ugly inns today.. better to say he doesnt last more than 12 balls against quality bowling attack...

How many games to carry this gully mohalla cricketer.... Only in Pakistan non-deserving players like him will get this many chance

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh Chacha, you made Misbah proud with your run a ball knock.

The Misbah fan club salute you.

Major: Any person on the planet should have been able to dispatch Neesham, Have youbseen how chacha played in league games? Its because of him his team reached 150.

This game: Major goes houdini mode.

 

[Savak]

NZ have really pegged Pakistan back in the death overs with the wide yorkers, slower ball bouncers. These are modern T-20 death bowling tactics but Pakistani batters look clueless against these tactics everytime. The commentator mentioned she sees the NZ players practice boundary fielding with intensity vs the Pakistani players.

 

[stani_pak]

Iftimania is done i like him but he dont got anymore

 

[mominsaigol]

I agree. Imad should've come in instead of chacha for the last 5 overs.

Mate I'd send shaheen over chacha lol, no joke

 

[heddie19]

I really wish that was true bec Babar performs more often than Pakistan wins. But that is no the case.

1. Pakistan
2. Babar
3. Naseem
4. Shadab
5. Shaheen
6. Rizwan

That is the order. Ofc, I like all the young ones like Saim, Abrar etc.

@heddie doesn't even attend match threads when Babar gets out early.

He is only there to cheer Babar.

Pakistan losing or winning has zero value for him as long as Babar scores.

What do you think?

Pakistan got enough?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Please make fakhar open again and please axe chacha forever

Yea.. PCB has to collect the actual date of birth of these players somehow. There is no scientific way to determine the age to stop age-doping. This guy probably is already losing his reflexes.

 

[Kroll]

What a crap score, danger of going down 3-1 against NZ C at home!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Usman's not in Bazid's squad. He's picked Rizwan, Haris and Azam. Three keepers is excessive.

View attachment 143460

If Haris Rauf is fit, he will be picked ahead of Abbas . Azhar hinted as much.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Also, PCB needs to realize that bringing in the boundary rope isn’t really a bad thing. When they do it with utmost beghairati in PSL, why can’t they do it in bilateral series?

That Shadab six was 85 M, and the ball barely crossed over the boundary.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What is the par score here?

200+?

175 is par.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

If this was India they would have mauled this NZ side. Pakistan are weak side

 

[mominsaigol]

I sure can't be as humble as Babar is.

No but you can be as moronic as his captaincy

 

[NeVerMind]

Wasn’t Iftikhar celebrated as a huge hitter just a little while ago?

I am starting a campaign to nickname him Chacha Rickshaw...both ancient, both make lots of noise yet don't get too far!

 

[Markhor]

The amount of loose deliveries we've failed to put away in this series has been concerning.

 

[Kroll]

If Haris Rauf is fit, he will be picked ahead of Abbas . Azhar hinted as much.

There's another word that rhymes with fit to describe Rauf.

 

[topspin]

No but you can be as moronic as his captaincy

Smackdown

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I am getting the feeling that both India and Pak will get exposed badly in upcoming T20 WC. India can't let go of oldies Rohit etc and Pak can't get rid of Babar and his tuk tuk mindset. One more ICC trophy to be won by Aus.

 

[mominsaigol]

Probably is being generous lol

 

[ask_analyse_act]

The game has evolved so much that these Pak cricketers and coaching staff are not sure how to evolve and adapt to the modern day cricket.... Talking vs execution are two different things... Misbah and Younis khan can talk about modern day batting all day and night but cant play an inns like ABD or Yuvraj or KP for that matter...

 

[mominsaigol]

Tbf, this game was let down a bit by the death overs and middle overs.

But it's not babar's fault this time around. He played the best.

 

[NeVerMind]

Iftimania is done i like him but he dont got anymore

It never got going, mate...this is a man whose last great performance was against a warm-up match against the Aussies and even in that he got dropped twice, off the bowling of David Warner and Steve Smith! Of all the least deserving players, Chacha Rickshaw takes the biscuit....he must have something on the selectors as it really doesn't make sense!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Please make fakhar open again and please axe chacha forever

Chacha never had a place or stay in contention when Mickey was the coach... Misbah brought him in because he plays like him and his fondness for 33+ age group players...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just seen the scorecard and Pakistan failed to even get 200 again

 

[Savak]

What do you think?

Pakistan got enough?

Don't think so. NZ will come hard and fearlessly.

They're over thinking it too much devising plans like for test match batting. Just get 6/7 tullays out there to blast ball. This is what Eng, Aus have done etc even India when Kohli and Rohit aren't hogging spots, they've got loads of tullays from the IPL that come in.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babars friendship mania when will that end... Thought it was ended when he was removed from captaincy..

 

[mominsaigol]

Ik bro,

Misbah as coach brought in akmal amd shehzad and irfan and had imam open in t20 out of the blue even though Pakistan was non1 rank t20 side before misbah show.

He then had the lower order filled with asif Ali, Kushdil shah and chacha .

Like asif got dropped inn2019 by mickey, they stopped using him as a lower order in the qorld cup after a few games and ge was a sure goner. But misbah decided asif becomes mainstay.

And chacha came in put of the blue.
