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

[RidiculousMan]

If Salman takes most of the strikes, it's an easy win for Pak.

He regularly sees this situation in Test Cricket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

26 off 23

 

[TeymurBlake]

Six.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6

Lovely shot Agha

 

[imshally81]

6666

 

[TeymurBlake]

It’s right to say. Once Saim got out, Salman should have maintained the strike.

 

[hassan918]

Well done Agha, Brave stroke here

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a massive six here. Go Agha!

 

[Hawkeye]

Agha Salman must keep maximum strike.

Is he stupid how easily he keeps giving strike to Naseem and previously Shaheen.

He needs to score these runs.

If he wins it for us boot out Imran Niazi the pathetic hack forever.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Why run 3.

Should have taken just 2 runs.

 

[emranabbas]

But Irfan is also gone.

But agha Is here baby

 

[imshally81]

Wide too

 

[Buffet]

It should be an easy win from here unless wickets are lost. Run a ball 3 overs left with a set batsman.

 

[zaidihusain]

If we lose from here,

Do NOT let Agha Salman go unpunished!!!!

He’s the real culprit here along with that stupid Irfan Niazi.

Why on earth he keeps giving strike to Shaheen and Naseem?

Is he brain dead???

He absolutely knows both can’t bat specially can’t pick Shamsi.

What about Babar & Rizwan? For how long they will get free ride??

 

[Omer2002]

Why run 3.

Should have taken just 2 runs.

Why run 3 there do they have a brain..
Naeeem doesnt have a clue on shamsi

 

[Rana]

That’s the game I recon

Shamsi has to take 2 wickets on 3 balls

 

[Hawkeye]

But agha I here baby

Agha is stupid to keep giving strike to Shaheen and Naseem.

If we lose he will be the culprit along with Niazi.

 

[Buffet]

He regularly sees this situation in Test Cricket

Then he will win the game here.

 

[emranabbas]

Agha is stupid to keep giving strike to Shaheen and Naseem.

If we lose he will be the culprit along with Niazi.

Still better than misbah

 

[Hawkeye]

What about Babar & Rizwan? For how long they will get free ride??

RIZWAN has no business playing white ball cricket and this opinion of mine is well known already.

Of course he needs the boot.

 

[lazy cricketer]

agha is made for this kind of innings but not for high-scoring games, unfortunately

 

[TeymurBlake]

And now they take a single off the last shamsi over.

 

[imshally81]

Why single again

 

[gazza619]

cant stand Shaheen sitting in the dugout. Send him inside

 

[RidiculousMan]

Then he will win the game here.

I think so too. As long as he stays. Pakistan wins

 

[Hawkeye]

Agha is really good for Tests

And low scoring ODIs (so no batting pitches or ICC tournaments).

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Shaheen the only player not clapping in the pavilion...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha doing what all the seniors did take a single and expose the tail

Goes to show they're all so sensible still...

 

[imshally81]

It seems Naseem is better thinker than salman...

 

[m.shah]

Salman has to finish it

 

[TeymurBlake]

Salman calm down.

 

[Rana]

This Salman guy is so village

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseems lost lol

 

[Hawkeye]

Shaheen the only player not clapping in the pavilion...

Both Shaheen and Shadab have this virus of pretending to be allrounders.

Sick of them.

 

[Buffet]

Game is pretty much done based on who is left to bowl.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This Salman guy is so village

They all are

 

[neonoir]

Salman is absolutely brain dead

 

[TeymurBlake]

Four runs.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Naseem not following instructions

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan have won it. cracker game. Loved every second of it

 

[Omer2002]

Is salman mad his running is awful..his talking is even worse

 

[imshally81]

44444

Yes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 for Pakistan

Lucky you Agha

 

[Mohraheem]

Salman Agha where are Chacha Fans????

 

[Mahee]

one of the greatest victories in the history of pakistan cricket.

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide

 

[emranabbas]

Agha salman

 

[imshally81]

one of the greatest victories in the history of pakistan cricket.

Nice way of Jinxing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Proper village stuff lol

 

[gazza619]

Somebody needs to tell off Shaheen for being such a disgraceful batter. Learn from Naseem

 

[hafizexpress]

Naseem is a much better off-side player than Rizwan

 

[Rana]

Naseem is a much better off-side player than Rizwan

He should bat at number 4

 

[followed]

Shaheen dumbo should never bat ahead of Naseem.

 

[Omer2002]

DId anybody hear Naseem absolute love it sayinh why are u hacking just take singles

 

[m.shah]

Naseem thinking better'

 

[imshally81]

What a communication ...Love it

 

[Hawkeye]

Somebody needs to tell off Shaheen for being such a disgraceful batter. Learn from Naseem

Shaheen and Shadab.

Disgraceful wannabe allrounders.

 

[hassan918]

He should bat at number 4

Nah, he didn't mean that much better

 

[hafizexpress]

He should bat at number 4

Man this guy has always had some sort of confidence with the bat that a lot of our batsmen haven't even had. If it wasn't for his composure, we'd have two more Ls than we already do against Afghanistan.

His bowling doesn't have venom at the moment but he has potential to chip in cameos with the bat. I've never understood why Babar and Rizwan see Shaheen to be a superior bat when he's just a slogger. Naseem on the other hand actually knows how to nudge the ball when required

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 off 7

 

[imshally81]

Great ....another single

 

[stani_pak]

Naseem should always bat higher than Shaheen wouldnt mind him even coming a little higher too, depending on the match situation

 

[imshally81]

Only 2 runs required

 

[hafizexpress]

Let's not forget Naseem helped draw a test against New Zealand too last year

 

[imshally81]

Six singles in over.... What a batting

 

[hassan918]

Salman and Saim sould be the joint player of the match.

 

[followed]

Naseem has shown again and again he is defensively sound and much calm under pressure.
He has mentality of a fighter. Great attitude.

 

[Hawkeye]

What the hell’s Agha doing.

Naseem talking Sense into him to play sensibly.

 

[stani_pak]

Classic old school ODI match vibe this, it had almost everything, dropped catches, run out, bad running, good batting by saim and salman, spinners make it hard for batsman to score, and some out standing umpiring for me the umpire was the stand out of the match

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 and Pakistan win

 

[Buffet]

Well done Pakistan here!!!

Congratulations to all Pakistani fans.

 

[imshally81]

Yesss

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Keep calm and believe in Salman.

...till he's at the crease atleast.

Told you boys

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Salman Agha MOM

 

[DeadlyVenom]

nothing can beat a low scoring thriller in an ODI.

ODI Cricket was at its peak when 240-260 were challenging scores.

Great match.

 

[Caved12]

Salman Agha is my pick for Man of the Match. He not only picked up four crucial wickets but also showed incredible composure while chasing 240. His calm presence guided Saim during his innings, keeping him grounded and lifting him up when he reached his century. Salman also did his best to knock some sense into the tailenders, Shaheen and Naseem, who seemed intent on going for glory shots and risking their wickets. His leadership, patience, and all around performance were outstanding.

 

[imshally81]

Love it....what a victory

 

[m.shah]

Win

 

[mango_bite77]

Baisharam Shaheen, learn from Naseem
