Pakistan (242/7) defeat South Africa (239/9) by 3 wickets in a nail biting encounter to win the 1st ODI

Should be dropped and another opener should be given a chance
Questions needs to be asked of the management. Why on earth he's getting out in the same manner over and over. His bat comes from gully and that too across. He will never be able to play anything coming in with that technique.
 
Logic died in this post. He has been performing against most teams. Coming on the back of an amazing performance vs SL.
Before you criticize other posters, do look at the stats. While he is good vs other teams, he eats us for breakfast

This is getting ridiculous now, This is the only format I back this clown in? A little accuracy line and length and this guy can't handle it? Clown
 
200 runs to get

Shamsi has to bowl 60 crucial deliveries here and it won’t be Babar to tackle them
 
Some fans where excited when South Africa posted a low total, but based on the pitch, there bowling and fielding, and our batmans, I knew this was not going to be easy, and still had South Africa favorites before Pak even faced a delivery, I hope the boys can prove me wrong.
 
The longer you back Rizwan and Babar in any format, the longer Pakistan team will struggle.
I back babar in odi only. I don't back rizwan in anything lol.

In odi babar was overrated but he was good at smacking bad bowling and exploiting scores. But he's a has been now, Kamran gulam and saud shakeel should replace Babar and rizwam now.

Conditions might be difficult, but if you are constantly allowing the bowlers to bowl according to how they please, you will only make things even more difficult for yourself.

That partnership had no momentum.
 
Beautiful bowling by Markram now
This pitch was difficult. Klaseen played an atg innings in hindsight. And honestly so did say openers. They kinda sealed the deal with their bilstering start.

Its all on saim now. The rest ain't doing anything. Maybe kamran ghulam? But the rest? Nope.
 
If the management have any shame, surely they need to be held accountable for picking this absolutely car crash of a batting line up
 
When the pitch is tricky, strike rotation is important in ODIs, especially when chasing a low target.
This is where Babar and Rizwan are meant for the job. Eating too many balls adds pressure at the end.
