Pakistan (195/5) overpower Zimbabwe (126) by 69 runs in the 4th match of the Tri-Series in Rawalpindi

[Sunny_majoka]

It's painful watching Babar Azam bat

 

[Sunny_majoka]

And Babar hasn’t?

He has for sure

 

[Rana]

Masakadza has been around forever

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Babar should have been dropped for hassan Nawaz today

 

[RidiculousMan]

There was a time when Babar dominated Steyn overseas. Now he is struggling against Maposa and Evans at home

 

[Rana]

15 off 20

Serious batting

 

[cricfan432]

Babar experiment has to end.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

He used to rule the world but those days seem like a distant dream. He's playing like a player who is afraid and it shows in his batting. No expression, no freedom, no joy, covering all the stumps as if he's afraid to get bowled, & the ball just does not get on his bat.

He should take a break from T20 himself.

He has been found out. Thats it

 

[Ali Active]

Babar azam plays a dot ball
Ramiz starts praising him

 

[Rana]

Not sure why Sikandar is scared to bowl here himself

He can bowl to Babar dotting him up and putting pressure on Farhan to play a loose stroke

 

[cricfan432]

He has been found out. Thats it

Lacking the range of shots.

 

[zahid01]

If babar has any shame he should admit it and retire from t20

 

[Rana]

He has been found out. Thats it

That’s like saying he was once a 180sr batsman who has been found out and is a shell of his former self

 

[PakPremi]

Babar should have been dropped for hassan Nawaz today

I do not think Hasan Nawaz is in the squad. Pakistan team need one Anchor batsman, they are alway vulnerable to collapse, Babar provides partnerships regularly even if he himself does not end up with big score, and is not wasting that many balls. Agha is not only batting slow but also not even scoring much for quite a while now.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

When Babar plays any spinner will look like Shane warne

Anchoring in t20is doesn't mean playing less than 100Sr

 

[Rana]

Farhan would have scored at least a 50 by now if he got more of the strike

Babar obviously costing the team runs here

 

[Rana]

Ramiz and Urooj

The Babar and Rizwan of commentary

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Babar bats too slow

 

[adi_62941]

Any good team can trap babar in T20s by bowling into his body and not giving him any room. If he plays T20 WC he will be our weak link along with salman and usman

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Shameful batting,

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar has added exactly zero shots while he was away and hasn't even changed his playing style whatsoever.

He's played 30 balls against Zimbabwe and he is below run a ball. That's insanely poor stuff.

 

[Rana]

Farhan needs to launch some here

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Any good team can trap babar in T20s by bowling into his body and not giving him any room. If he plays T20 WC he will be our weak link along with salman and usman

All three bat at key positions

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar leave this format man.

Babar and agha have no business playing this format.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar playing a beautiful one day knock. Javed bhai would be proud of his singles

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar has played a million shots and still batting under a 100 SR.

He is finished as a limited overs batter, please jaan chor de bhai.

 

[m.shah]

Babar should retire from t20

 

[Ali Active]

Babar should retire bro from t20s

 

[Rana]

Farhan isski baato main na aa!!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Truly a shameful batter. He literally doesn't even look to play big shots. Just silly dabs for one's & two's.

I have seen enough. I would drop Babar from T20's for a very long time until he shows a significantly improved game style. He should certainly be dropped for the WC.

 

[Ali Active]

Babar agha usman
i will take
M haris
Hassan nawaz
over them

 

[RidiculousMan]

Single Double masterclass today. Even yesterday when Farhan was batting with Babar. He was ticking instead of playing dots like he used to.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Back to back 50s for Farhan

 

[Ali Active]

people who were critical of asia cup team look at this master class
Asia cup team was perfect t20 team
except it needed time to settle
except from Saim farhan fakhar there are no t20 batters

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Nervous 40s for king Babar against mighty Zimbabwe.

 

[PakPremi]

Anchoring in t20is doesn't mean playing less than 100Sr

Not playing 100 strike rate.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Plus for Babar today that he didn't get out to Willington Masakadza

 

[Ali Active]

Top it off we have agha and usman khan next against babar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are about 25 short of where they should've been right now

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Zimbabar returns

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Farhan is definitely off my radar now with back to back 50s.......can't say the same for others

 

[Ali Active]

50 of 41 nice

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar Azam accelerating now at 9.8m/s²

 

[Rana]

Six hitters Fakhar, Faheem, Nawaz just sitting in the dug out

30 balls left

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

50!!!!!!!!!

50 for Babar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Gets a 50 after taking 33 balls just to be run a ball. A thoroughly mediocre innings.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Six hitters Fakhar, Faheem, Nawaz just sitting in the dug out

30 balls left

Hesson and Salman's masterplan

 

[cricfan432]

Either hit or get out, if theory of anchor is correct then why not play him down the order. He is hogging up fakhars spot

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Six hitters Fakhar, Faheem, Nawaz just sitting in the dug out

30 balls left

You can breathe a sigh of relief now. Your hero Farhan is no longer on my radar.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Batta ball by Raza gets Farhan!

 

[PakPremi]

Gets a 50 after taking 33 balls just to be run a ball. A thoroughly mediocre innings.

50 was 128 strike rate not run a ball.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rana is here. Interesting choice. Lets see if he can deliver with the bat.

 

[CricVet]

I am NOT anti Babar, but anti T20 Babar drive. It is so obvious what is going on here in a no pressure environment - give every opportunity to Babar to regain his confidence in T20.

Babar has taken over most of the strike in the past 5 overs. In this no pressure game, easy job to get done. They think that confident Babar will change Pakistan fortunes and I hope it does. However I am 99% sure it won’t. Babar’s nerves will show up when Pakistan will be under the pump in a tournament. I wish that I will be wrong.

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan do not trust Fakhar to play at good strike rate, sending Faheem.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan do not trust Fakhar to play at good strike rate, sending Faheem.

Do not trust against Zimbabwe. It's clear that management is using this opportunity to check Fahrem's batting

Same for a Pakistanis, remember 3 - 0 against India

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rana running like a deer without seeing the ball. Lol

 

[CricVet]

Add context please!

 

[PakPremi]

His batting has been checked already, has batted so many time for Pakistan.

 

[Omer2002]

Babar on fire but surely tbey shud have gone for 200 which they wnt het

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar not coming slow. Now striking at 134

 

[PakPremi]

Add context please!

Under pressure Pakistanis lose nerve. Babar is more likely to build a partnership than Talats or Hasan Nawaz. Yes Pakistan need hard hitters but also correct players like Babar.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar de Villiers

Is this the King Babar we were promised?

 

[PakPremi]

Rana running like a deer without seeing the ball. Lol

Which Rana, lol.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar can accelerate vs these crap teams, but in an actual ICC tournament, he will get out.

 

[Omer2002]

I have a question y hasnt fakhar come in?

 

[TheSultan]

Zimbabar Zimbabar Zimbabar!

 

[Ali Active]

If babar can improve his power game just by little bit he can definatly help

 

[RidiculousMan]

Evans kicks the ball in anger with his boot. That's an ICC rule break.

 

[Ali Active]

salman agha where is fakhar?

 

[PakPremi]

Babar not only upsetting Pak passion posters but Zimbabwe players with his performance.

 

[PakPremi]

salman agha where is fakhar?

That was pathetic decision to send Faheem ahead of Fakhar, if Fakhar is batting for hitting at lower end then try him consistently at that position.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Agha coming to bat instead of Fakhan or Usman at this point of the game doesn't make sense.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is some ridiculous thing happening

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Proper batters thrown down to No 7

 

[Deewana Mastana]

People like Faheem and Nawaz sent in ahead of them lol

 

[PakPremi]

Without Saim, Farhan, and Babar this team is clueless even against Zimbabwe

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brilliant by Raza
