A decent bowling performance should easily be able to defend this score against NZ 'C' without Tim Robinson.

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

Agreed, 175 is nothing for a decent batting side to be worried about. They can go about this in a calm manner.

Chacha has always failed. Just look at his 2022 asia cup innings. He always plays like this.

Dude has played how many games?

And how many memorable innings does he have? Just one 100 game last year in odi against c side NZ, but even that was in a losing effort.

He had one good series throughout his entire international career. Parchi level player.

This will be a record chase at Lahore if it happens.

It's definitely a good score on this pitch.
 
Babar - good but rare standout performance by Babar against a C team.

Saim - needs a break, but that doesn't mean Rizwan should replace him.

Usman - showing some confidence; deserves another series.

Fakhar - performance wasn't the best, but he managed to improve. Supposedly, he should have a better average and strike rate at number 4.

Chacha 420 - shouldnt bat ahead of Imad and Shadab, or better yet, be replaced by a more proficient batsman.

Who would you open with

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.

Not 6/7 tullays , teams have decent enough batsmen who can shift gears easily and play boundary scoring shots , bisect gaps and lot more..
 
Just like how Bracewell scored his first boundary now,, pak batters had many balls bowled to them on the pads and they were taken singles or 2s max .... many diff like this sets them apart..

Yeh, Im talking about your Liam Livingstone, Ishan Kishen, Mitch Marsh level players.
 
Good to see Ayub get a chance with a ball
I honestly think he is our best spinner after Abrar

Fakhar needs to open, this whole series proves why he does.

Chacha needs to buzz off now.

With so many bowling options now we should have two more batters on there and say to all batters attack but our mgt is awful...

We need to drop rizwan

If babar is stubborn and not dropping down then he need to play as accumulator and everyone else bat around him.

We can't afford 2 accumulators in the top 4

Babar's sneakers today -- He will look silliy if he loses the series wearing this haha

Babar is soo dumb!

Abbas isn't a new ball bowler.

Saim should have been given another over or bring in Imad
 
@topspin

2nd time babar has bowled abass in the PP even though he's known to be horrible in PP.

Also looks like siefert has also become babar's daddy.

Another batsmen on the list of being better then babar lol
 
Babar's captaincy rather than his batting is the big issue for Pakistan. Should had bowled Siam for one more over atleast
 
NZ literally showing Pakistan how to bat in PP.

That too an inexperienced NZ side to a Pakistan senior side.
 
Look at the agility of Seifert and the statue like movement of Iftimania, its practically night and day.

Babar consistently misses a trick. Takes Saim off after one over that only conceded 5. In the last game he didn't give Abbas full quota and bowled out the awful Usama Mir.
 
Amir trying to bounce Seifert after this stare-down was hilarious. Cute to think that he still has pace

Tim Seifert struggled in the PSL. Lol Pakistan have made him look like Finn Allen here
 
Unless the pitch is really bad, Babar needs to start aiming for 220+ every match otherwise he's gonna get smackdowns each and every time.
 
So all our prediction on Pakistan winning 4-1 have gone down the drain.

We fans overestimate our team too much, should have expected this to happen with babar as captain again.

How he solely aim to 220+ ? When your so called aggressive batsmen have been pathetic so far
 
New Zealand are just playing 3 or 4 genuine batters tonight. Tells you all you need to know about what they think of this team now.

They are definitely winning the series tonight

They need to change their mindset, he's always aiming for below par totals before game has started. 170s no longer a winning score.
