Pakistan (206) defeat Netherlands (197) by 9 runs to win the 3rd ODI - Win series by 0-3 margin

[MenInG]

With the series won due to the 2 wins in the 1st and 2nd ODI, Babar Azam can look to bring some new faces in the XI, but will he?

Shaheen's injury should have injected a new sense of urgency when it comes to looking at our bench-strength so hope the penny has dropped for Pakistan.

[Marooned]

They must give Dahani the new ball today.

That gives him the best chance to take maximum wickets to stake his claim for Asia cup. Otherwise if he comes 1st change with them already some 2-3 wickets down, he won't pick as many.

Different format but we know it counts.

 

[Titan24]

Not likely gonna happen but, in my opinion should rest Haris Rauf (Already know his skillset, need to keep him ready for Asia cup), Rizwan (Need to give WK back a rest), Nawaz (Again already a proven performer) and play Dahani, Mohammad Haris and Zahid Mehmood.

 

[shamaan]

I would play Haris,Abdullah,and dahani.

My xi

Abdullah,Haris,Babar,Rizwan,Agha,Khushdil,Shadab,Nawaz,Wasim Jnr,Naseem,Dahani

 

[daytrader]

Abdullah Shafiq will make his debut today. Abdullah Shafiq will be the 238th cricketer from Pakistan to debut in ODI cricket. The third ODI match between Pakistan and Netherlands will be played today

[MenInG]

Pakistan elect to bat and make 4 changes for the final ODI of the 3-match series vs Netherlands; Imam-ul-Haq, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Rizwan and Haris Rauf are replaced by Abdullah Shafique, Zahid Mahmood, Shahnawaz Dahani and Mohammad Haris.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan replaced

Suuuui

 

[Shafi]

Good to see rest of the players got opportunity today.

 

[Titan24]

All the players who I wanted to get a chance are playing.

Would have liked Shadab to play to get some rhythm going and Zahid to come in place of Nawaz but, don’t mind.

 

[MenInG]

Imam not well according to Babar or Abdullah would not have been playing!

 

[Marooned]

As per pitch report, this is a patta and the best batting strip this series.
Abdullah should cash on.

 

[Marooned]

Shafique bowled lol.

That's not good enough. Beaten by (lack of) pace probably.

 

[Omer2002]

Moved a touch but his bat was nowhere close enough

 

[Front Foot Pull]

Shafique bowled lol.

That's not good enough. Beaten by (lack of) pace probably.

played for the outswing.

 

[PakEngFan]

That is poor from Abdullah it happened in Sri Lanka too it’s a glaring weakness. Needs to work on it ASAP and fix it.

untidy from Abdullah

[Shafi]

Really really poor batting from Babar and Fakhar in this flat pitch. England would have score 80+ by now.

 

[Shafi]

Shehzad's ghost on Fakhar and Babar. Can't find a room. We need proper batting coach as well as head coach.

 

[Front Foot Pull]

keeper dropped babar and then missed stumping fakhar. poor from NL.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Awful boring batting

 

[Rana]

Very boring batting

This is what happens when you have all the power as a player and are not accountable to anyone

 

[Rana]

The ghost of Misbah past is still haunting Pakistan

 

[pakistani pride]

The ghost of Misbah past is still haunting Pakistan

LOL
Misbah woud have smashed these spinners and trundlers big time.

 

[Shafi]

The ghost of Misbah past is still haunting Pakistan

Exactly!! Since Mickey gone our players are happy with 250-275 runs.

 

[Shafi]

Ramiz needs to go. He is not bringing enough test matches plus put no-body and unskilled Saqlain as a head coach.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar waste too many balls and most of the time he fails to keep up.

 

[Rana]

Getting vibes of a Pakistan loss today

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Why pcb is not hiring any qualified coach, when they'll do

 

[Sunny_majoka]

They are stuck played too many dots

 

[Shafi]

Take Babar, Fakhar and Shaheen and our team is same level as associate.

PCB is trying to save money. They are happy to win here and there. Ramiz needs to go.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

They are waiting for things to get worse

 

[Rana]

LOL
Misbah woud have smashed these spinners and trundlers big time.

In the first 15 overs?

Misbah is happy to let the team slide to 40-3 by 15 overs and then play his slow natural game until the 40th over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar had an ugly hoick lol

 

[Shafi]

They are waiting for things to get worse

It already worse since Mickey left then Misbah-Waqar took the job and now Saqlain. They have low expectation from the team. So they are not interest to invest money by proper coaches.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why pcb is not hiring any qualified coach, when they'll do

Because PCB themselves aren't qualified when they're approaching against associate sides like this.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Van Beek currently bowling the spell of his life it seems.

3-1-3-1.

 

[Rana]

20 overs 64-2

This is too fast for Pakistan Test match batting standards

 

[Usman]

Please could someone confirm where this match is being broadcast in the UK? Thanks!

 

[Shafi]

Babar has long way to go to be considered a great batsman. Lack of power hitting abilities along with technique to cope with proper spinners.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Please could someone confirm where this match is being broadcast in the UK? Thanks!

It isn't

 

[Sunny_majoka]

20 overs 64-2

They're not that bad normally. If we look at Australia and wi series recently today is not a normal day for them

 

[Shafi]

Because PCB themselves aren't qualified when they're approaching against associate sides like this.

Because they would be whitewashed if they dropped 5-6 key players. They never tried to improve bench strength.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

By this they should've been 4 wickets down instead right?!

 

[Omer2002]

20 overs 64-2

This is too fast for Pakistan Test match batting standards

well said absolute pathetic...england making nearly 500 against these..imagine netherlands had the five county players they are missing i dont think we would have won

 

[Usman]

It isn't

Ah thanks! Are there any legal streams?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Because they would be whitewashed if they dropped 5-6 key players. They never tried to improve bench strength.

They never believe in bench strength neither they have the luxury of it either.

 

[Shafi]

England would have score around 175-190 by now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

well said absolute pathetic...england making nearly 500 against these..imagine netherlands had the five county players they are missing i dont think we would have won

Especially when they lost the first game by 16 runs.

 

[Shafi]

The future of Pakistan cricket is bleak due to lack of ability to score faster and power hitting. European teams will soon take over teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and may be Sri Lanka (financial crisis).

 

[AAli98]

80 of 24 overs against mighty Dutch.. no wonder UK channels were ripping limbs of each other to gain rights to this series !!

 

[Shafi]

Pakistan Cricket is heading towards hockey. No power hitter coming at all but they are persisting with oldies.

 

[Fazzy321]

Who are the oldies in team?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

You're just exaggerating here. This is one off performance Pakistan usually doesn't play that slow in middle overs

 

[Shafi]

Who are the oldies in team?

i mean test. ODI/T20 lack of power hitter. Accumulators plus hit and miss players

 

[shariqnoor]

This is exactly what I was talking about onn the other thread on why Pakistan plays to the level of opposition.

Forget the new guys, even Babar plays his cricket with a huge fear of failure on his mind. Right now, he believes if he gets out Pakistan will lose the match. So he's batting at less than 60 SR.

ODI batting completely changed in 2015 and yet here we are in 2022, still unable to play at a high tempo.

 

[Marooned]

Will be embarrassing if we can't get around 270-280 atleast.

 

[AAli98]

So pak play according to the level of opposition?

Awaiting Paks 470 against Engs 490
Imams 205 & Babar will match Jason Roy’s s/r

 

[imshally81]

Good shot by Babar Azam

 

[ElRaja]

first time watching any of this series and man is this boring, even if pak win what will they have learned.

also how can haider ali not make this team, he might be inconsistent but he's the only player I've seen even try to combine rotation with power hitting.

babar notwithstanding every batsman in this team is so one dimensional.

 

[imshally81]

Khushdil gone

 

[Marooned]

And we have given Haider Ali a grand total of 2 Odis.

Then we complain where is our batting talent.

 

[arif_2021]

Where is the dive!!??!?!?!?!?!?

Ridiculous from khushdil.

 

[Marooned]

Where is the dive!!??!?!?!?!?!?

Ridiculous from khushdil.

Poor call to begin with.

 

[imshally81]

Another Six by Babar

 

[imshally81]

Saud shakeel should be in team..

 

[Nasty Naz]

Like that Pakistan used their entire bench and gave everyone a game.

Hard to say anything good about the first 20 overs they have played every match in this series though.

 

[Rana]

Saud shakeel should be in team..

For what? He is too slow and timid

He should only focus on Test cricket

 

[Amjid Javed]

wont be shocked if there is an embarrassing loss here.

 

[Hextro]

Babar's consistency is something else. Other than that one innings against the West Indies I have a hard time remembering the last time this guy got out before scoring at least a fifty.

 

[Marooned]

wont be shocked if there is an embarrassing loss here.

Shaping up in that direction tbh.

 

[Marooned]

From here, it's hard to imagine 250. We will probably end up below 200.

Defeat is the most likely outcome now.

 

[Omer2002]

Haris peoples favourite what kind of shot was that..defeat well deserved to think they are missing 5 county players...

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz needs to be extremely patient now.

No point now to take any risk atleast until 45th over.

 

[ElRaja]

take out babar and extras, and pakistan are 60-5 off 20 against Netherlands reserves, lololol. pak are so bad its actually funny.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Haris and Danish Aziz have two of the most awful looking batters we have tried in recent times.

Qasim Akram should be tried in the next series.

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic ODI team

 

[Marooned]

Haris and Danish Aziz have two of the most awful looking batters we have tried in recent times.

Qasim Akram should be tried in the next series.

Haris is way too raw rn. He shouldn't be playing Odis. T20s maybe.

Akram himself is far from ready.

Haider ali and Agha should be given continous chances in ODIs.
