Pakistan (207/1) defeat New Zealand (204) by 9 wickets in the third T20I game to keep the series hope alive

[RyanRyan10]

4-0-29-3 & a brilliant catch for Haris Rauf

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was how all of them played and scored 200

But Rauf is harder for tail to go after. Set batsmen can go after Rauf. Not these guys

 

[BDfanforever]

They can chase as there is no Riz Babar.

 

[Rana]

Number 10 and 11

Just bowl full and fast! What’s this cutters nonsense

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

NZ batted poor today.. Still got 200 plus against this bowling and fielding .

 

[Ahmed216]

But Rauf is harder for tail to go after. Set batsmen can go after Rauf. Not these guys

You are right but Bracewell backed himself to tonk Rauf. That's how they've approached this game

 

[Croma]

204 all out....

Time for the batters to make their name from here

 

[baba ghazi]

will this finally be lun time for new zealand and win time for pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

LIght weight batting unit NZ. Two openers gone early. Still 202. Well played Chapman

 

[Devadwal]

205 is Target.

 

[Asad T]

Has to do with poor outfield and rugby dimensions

Maybe Ifran's one

But Shadab and Abbas should have kept some body part behind the ball in case they missed it. It's one of the first things you are taught when playing cricket

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

You are right but Bracewell backed himself to tonk Rauf. That's how they've approached this game

watch Pakistan struggle to 150. NZ bowlers will be at their bodies in no time

 

[Greenstorm]

Kiwi opening tullaybaaz failed today. Time for our tullars to shine.

 

[RyanRyan10]

All out

Pakistan have bowled NZ out inside 20 overs

 

[Ahmed216]

Maybe Ifran's one

But Shadab and Abbas should have kept some body part behind the ball in case they missed it. It's one of the first things you are taught when playing cricket

It's slippery and fielders were moving very cautiously. Let's see how NZ field then we'll get a better idea

4-0-29-3 & a brilliant catch for Haris Rauf

he had a good game today.. thats the issue with him blowing hot and cold for the last 2 yrs...
Bowled well in Aus , ordinary in SA and completely out of sorts in CT2025 and now back in business....

 

[BouncerGuy]

So we need 205 to win... NAY..

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Maybe Ifran's one

But Shadab and Abbas should have kept some body part behind the ball in case they missed it. It's one of the first things you are taught when playing cricket

Outfield may be Slippery to get behind the ball , but why cant Pak fielders gather the ball cleanly even if it is coming straight to them? i saw that too many times. its like they have holes in their hands

 

[jnaveen1980]

107 runs in 9 overs against spin
91 runs in 11 overs against pace

 

[Ahmed216]

Excellent batting conditions. Chase is ON

 

[ask_analyse_act]

now the task for Pak is can they hit more than 10 sixers. absolutely not .. game over...

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

he had a good game today.. thats the issue with him blowing hot and cold for the last 2 yrs...
Bowled well in Aus , ordinary in SA and completely out of sorts in CT2025 and now back in business....

He is effective in SENA countries where ball bounces from good length. it does nt work in Asian conditions

 

[Ahmed216]

C'mon yaar Hassan get off the mark. You have licence to thrill today

 

[ask_analyse_act]

107 runs in 9 overs against spin
91 runs in 11 overs against pace

the use of spinners in this match was bad... the 2nd over from Abraar gave them the momentum against slow bowlers..

Haris has played so many game but still cannot bowl with new ball is simply unacceptable from him...

 

[OldWarHorse]

Like that Pakistan have backed Nawaz again.

 

[Ahmed216]

Why can't our pacers move the ball like that?

 

[Ali Active]

shaba boyzzz back ur yongsters

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz off the mark in international cricket

 

[Asad T]

Wheyy Hasan Nawaz is finally off the mark

 

[Ali Active]

dont go back to babar rizwan no matter 5 0

 

[Ahmed216]

What a shot from Haris!!

2 in 2 wow

 

[Asad T]

What a shot from Haris

 

[Asad T]

 

[Hellion]

Great start by Mohammad Haris. Already created more impact than Rizwan has in 2 years

 

[Asad T]

Outfield may be Slippery to get behind the ball , but why cant Pak fielders gather the ball cleanly even if it is coming straight to them? i saw that too many times. its like they have holes in their hands

Did you see how Sodhi fielded? he slid, but kept his body behind the ball. that's how to do it

 

[ask_analyse_act]

thats a good hit for six... good from haris

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz trying to bat like Rizbab in this game

 

[Asad T]

Nawaz trying to bat like Rizbab in this game

he's only faced 3 balls bro

 

[Ahmed216]

Haris just stay there no more tullaybaazi. Play on merit of the ball

 

[Ali Active]

Haris
saim
fakhar

aagg top order in. t20

 

[Croma]

Fantastic start by Haris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Big opportunity for Hasan Nawaz to get that 3rd

 

[Croma]

25-0: 2

 

[Greenstorm]

thats a good hit for six... good from haris

acha g

 

[Sachin fan]

Pakistan were just unlucky to lose the toss in the first two T20s. The ball does a bit in the first couple of overs in the first innings every match.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

thats how u play Haris good and fast learning, stand and deliver instead of running around like a headless chicken in the crease.. had a brainfade a litte and back to sticking with the basic method..

 

[Croma]

Nice nudge past the keeper for 4

Sensible batting from Haris

 

[Asad T]

Seifert "We thought we were 10-15 runs light"

 

[Rana]

Proper start!

 

[Croma]

Nawaz cracks his first boundary

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz u beauty....Hassan Nawaz

 

[Farabi]

Pakistan looking like a t20I outfit
@Rana

 

[Croma]

Nawaz looks like he is slogging... Haris seems way better

 

[Asad T]

The DJ at the ground is on fire

 

[Farabi]

Proper start!

Yup! Playing like an action T20I team

 

[Ali Active]

The first time t20 fan in me of pakistan is back

 

[Asif321]

Never seen such start from bobzy and riz

 

[Ali Active]

because we playing t20 players first time

Never seen such start from bobzy and riz

 

[Croma]

2 wides... Jamieson is spooked... Good aggression shown so far

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Terrific start, 36 in 3...sets up for a good chase...match will be xciting...

 

[Greenstorm]

Few shots and Jamie has lost his line.

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol NZ pacers losing their line. Never seen that with Rizbab at the crease

 

[Asif321]

First time since Afridi I have this feeling watching a Pakistani player . Haris seems like lala . He will stay and blast or will be out anytime

 

[Croma]

Nawaz keeps slogging and missing... take a single bro

I am sure he wont

 

[OldWarHorse]

Haris is my kind of t20 opener. Nawaz looks out of sorts though

 

[ask_analyse_act]

there u go , their premiere bowler Jamieson struggling to control his line and length

 

[Asad T]

Nawaz keeps slogging and missing... take a single bro

I am sure he wont

he just needs to get Haris on strike

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz struggling . Nawaz needs full PSL season

 

[Rana]

Why can’t Nawaz pull?

 

[Croma]

as long as it is coming offf... its fine.... 4444444444444444

 

[baba ghazi]

what mickey mose ground is this.. mid on and long off are same

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The bounce at Eden is 4 inches lower (from a good length) than both Dunedin and Christchurch.

Pakistan immediately going much better without that bounce.

 

[Croma]

quite a long partnership 45 so far

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Nawaz keeps slogging and missing... take a single bro

I am sure he wont

he is coming from club cricket , so is the method... his shots mostly hit the toe end of the bat..

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz struggling a bit

 

[Ali Active]

Babar rizwan can never

 

[Croma]

66666666666666666666666

Nawaz continues

 

[Rana]

51 in 4 overs

 

[Asif321]

51 in 4

 

[imshally81]

On fire....
