Pakistan (181/4) defeat Ireland (178/7) by 6 wickets in the T20I decider to win the series 2-1

[mominsaigol]

Saim fails yet again. Bring falhar to open, don't ever go back to riz/babar

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

too many chances for one player. 19 innings and no fifty so far

against Ireland 3 Innings 61 Runs 43 Balls

 

[hafizexpress]

If Pak wants to win, Babar is probably better off getting out and letting Fakhar and Rizwan take over

 

[Rana]

Hume v Babar round 2

 

[ssuhaide]

Cmon, you still got to ‘believe’

Kid is a hack. To join the long list other talentless players to somehow make it to the international level

 

[PakPremi]

Both are equally bad

Not true, Shadab does contribute in batting or bowling in every other match, whereas Hasan Ali is almost always poor. Shadab has advantage over Hasan as he can both bat and bowl, even in both he is just about OK.

 

[followed]

I would take Mohammad haris over saim everyday. He is much better than saim.

 

[Forum363]

Soooo upsetting. Saim was our one hope for the World Cup. Ironically I wanted him to play selfishly and just cement his place and then go berserk against England.

 

[Rana]

This next ball is going to be swiped over mid wicket I re o

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're going at 6 and need around 9.5

 

[RidiculousMan]

If Pak wants to win, Babar is probably better off getting out and letting Fakhar and Rizwan take over

I can see Rizwan and Babar taking their time settling in.

 

[apnapind]

Saim fails. This is going to be difficult. He's making it easy for fans to push him out of the team.

And if get RizBar opening combo in the world cup then we'll be back to square one.

And no one is to be blamed for than saim himself he got all the chances if babar and riz come back it makes sense.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Saim has become a blind slogger.

when did he play properly in international cricket for you to say this that he has become someting that he was nt before

 

[AAli98]

Once again all eyes on daddy of Pak cricket Rizwan to spare paks blushes.. what are the rest getting paid for

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They need to trust their spinners

Yes but a left arm pacer like Little would make that a little less one dimensional than this array of right arm medium pacers they have.

 

[Asad T]

 

[Ahmed216]

Beautiful leg glance from the master

 

[MenInG]

Rizwan doing well - early days

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hume. A gift that keeps on coming

 

[Rana]

Man of the series: Hume

 

[Kianig89]

No better sight in cricket than RizBar do it in tandem

 

[RidiculousMan]

And no one is to be blamed for than saim himself he got all the chances if babar and riz come back it makes sense.

Even if the team goes back to RizBar. I hope the fans understand this at least that having one aggressive opener is a requirement of modern game. Even if Saim failed. It doesn't mean the idea of an aggressive opener was wrong.

 

[Misia]

Any ideas on why this is the 3rd match Chacha's off breaks are not being utilized, seem like he's being blanked!

 

[Energy]

Rizwan justifying his opening slot. As usual.

 

[jattafridi]

Come on Pakistan

 

[RidiculousMan]

Any ideas on why this is the 3rd match Chacha's off breaks are not being utilized, seem like he's being blanked!

No lefty in Ireland's XI

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan v Ireland has full potential for a proper O'brien-Afridi series biannually

 

[Rana]

Rubbish bowling

Feeding Rizwan

 

[jattafridi]

bradman on

 

[Kianig89]

Gary Kirsten has alot of work to do , from fitness to common sense to power hitting

 

[MenInG]

Rizwan doing well - early days

In the mood now Riz

 

[Markhor]

Excellent intent from Rizwan today, carrying on from the previous match.

Don't see this enough from Babar in the PP.

 

[Suleiman.56]

Certain man wanted rizwan out

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan striking at 250

[PakPremi]

Rizwan carrying on from last match, and some fans were happy he may not been fit for this series.

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan has become Pakistan's Kallis ,

 

[Energy]

Need to try Usman now against England and then take the final call on the squad.

 

[JattMaula]

Certain man wanted rizwan out

Haters are shooketh!

 

[Kianig89]

PAKISTAN might be the first WC winning team to win a proper series on Irish shores, as usually Ireland have one off t20s against the top sides, another milestone for Babar Azam the most successful T20 captain ever in international cricket

 

[PakPremi]

Rubbish bowling

Feeding Rizwan

Same rubbish bowling is also given to others but they somehow end up not scoring much.

 

[Energy]

In the mood now Riz

Just goes on about his business without any fuss. Has been involved heavily in all major victories that Pakistan's accomplished in the last 4 years.

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

Once upon a time Saim Ayub was compared to Jaiswal , it will be a infamous fable for kids to read on PakPassion .

 

[Rana]

Certain man wanted rizwan out

Oh bhai calm down it’s Ireland at a school ground

 

[Human786]

51/1 in 5 - aag lagaa di ji

 

[hafizexpress]

when did he play properly in international cricket for you to say this that he has become someting that he was nt before

He wasn't terrible in his better innings last year against Afg and NZ, but I am mainly looking at him in the PSL. He has previously shown to be more composed and calculated when he needs to be and not just a blind slogger. But in this series and the last one vs NZ in Pak, he has shown no brain whatsoever. He's playing like Umar Akmal when he lost the plot

 

[Kianig89]

Babar Azam has the aura of NBA legends , Jordan O'Neill Bryant

 

[apnapind]

And people

Rizwan has become Pakistan's Kallis ,

And yet people compare that ayub slogger to pak best t20 player i find pak fans the most funniest.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So are we going with Rizwan, Fakhar and Babar as our top 3 in that order for the 1st T20i against England in a week's time?

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan Middle order remains brittle since the turn of the century, no. 4 to No.6 are very shaky

 

[Kianig89]

Saim Ayub is the very overrated infact Haris was a better option than him

 

[MenInG]

Oh bhai calm down it’s Ireland at a school ground

Yep

Now the coping begins.

Bro, enjoy a Pakistan player doing well, for once.

 

[Ahmed216]

Just goes on about his business without any fuss. Has been involved heavily in all major victories that Pakistan's accomplished in the last 4 years.

Not the most gifted. But incredibly hard working.

 

[iPakistani]

Rizwan dunking on certain posters. Now they’ll tell us Sharjeel Khan would have got a 50 in 6 balls on this ground.

Copium as always.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Bdw Rizwan has most sixes in T20Is for Pak.

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

When you average 50+ in any format I'm sorry you are cream of the crop , you are in top 1% of consistent cricketers ..It's madness to critic Rizwan the team needs to bat around him

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan and Babar showing why they are one of the most coveted partners in cricket, akin to Waugh Bevan , Lara Chanders, Kallis AbDv

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rubbish bowling

Feeding Rizwan

Rizwan feasts on mediocre seam bowling. He can smash this Ireland attack singlehandedly.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizzu doing good at chasing. Pakistan will lose all its games batting first but can win chasing

 

[Human786]

60/1 in 6

 

[Kianig89]

Babar Azam needs a trophy to multiply his aura infact he will be immortal

 

[Rana]

Rizwan and Babar showing why they are one of the most coveted partners in cricket, akin to Waugh Bevan , Lara Chanders, Kallis AbDv

Yea the bowling reminds me of Walsh and Ambrose as well

 

[Suleiman.56]

Oh bhai calm down it’s Ireland at a school ground

I love saim but he couldn't score here

 

[sindhiboy]

ireland bowling in rizwan's arc, he never starts this fast

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan are blazing away at the PP mark

 

[iPakistani]

If Amir, Azam Khan or Imad perform vs this opposition = We told you so, they’re the best in the world!!

If Babar, Riz or Shaheen perform = It’s only Ireland calm down.

Atleast try apply a facade of objectiveness.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan feasts on mediocre seam bowling. He can smash this Ireland attack singlehandedly.

It’s still terrible bowling

Bowling middle stump line to Rizwan knowing boundaries are short and he’s a leg side bully

 

[Caved12]

Rizwan as always allowing Babar to take his sweet time

 

[Kianig89]

Imagine RizBar in videogame type IPL they would had wrecked havoc

 

[Rana]

I love saim but he couldn't score here

No excuses

He should have

 

[Human786]

visitors win this 2-1 - summary - this was IRE & they are not full strength - samjho ! Night

 

[PakEngFan]

Saim - once again a failure.

But it's rizwan and Babar fault.

 

[hafizexpress]

In the last over of the PowerPlay, Babar and Rizwan really nudged the ball around for 5 singles straight. This is the defensive mindset of these two. They see that they can get 60 in the PP and that's enough. No need to attempt to make any more. This mentality is what has let us down in the past few years

 

[Usman Chadda]

It’s still terrible bowling

Bowling middle stump line to Rizwan knowing boundaries are short and he’s a leg side bully

What did Saim do with this terrible bowling?

 

[Rana]

Rubbish captaincy from Tucker

 

[Kianig89]

Hopefully we will.carry this momentum against Buttler and Co.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan such a trash team. England is gonna be so embrassing

 

[PakPremi]

Rizzu doing good at chasing. Pakistan will lose all its games batting first but can win chasing

You have repeated this multiple time, but it is not a given either way. Pakistan can be rubbish chasing or batting first depending on the side they play and if the usual stars are in form(Fakha, Rizwan, Babar and Shaheen).

 

[Kianig89]

Finally Pakistan schooling Ire

 

[jattafridi]

can’t wait bradman vs England
