Pakistan (258/4) go one-up in the 3-match ODI series as they defeat New Zealand (255/9) by 6 wickets

[Sunny_majoka]

Class by Harris

 

[imshally81]

Six

 

[IAJ]

Lovely SIX by Haris

 

[Ali Active]

Annoying overacting by rizwan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Haris Sohail with a fantastic 6. Don't confuse the ODI player with the Test or T20 player. He's a solid ODI batsmen.

 

[Adi_62945]

Classy player harris is. Even a single with his curvy bat is cooling to eyes

 

[Fazzy321]

Classic from Haris

 

[IAJ]

Rizwan )

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Haris born at wrong time, should have replaced his birth with imran nazir

 

[imshally81]

50 for Rizwan

 

[Marooned]

five balls in and you can already see the gulf in class between Haris and Rizwan

This.

 

[PakPremi]

Good inning by Rizwan after tough period.

 

[Asif321]

Harris is class looks fluent than rizwan lol

 

[Marooned]

Classy player harris is. Even a single with his curvy bat is cooling to eyes

Damn yes!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Looks like Rizwan has been practicing reverse sweeps to counter sweep. Good to see and he's executed some of them nicely. Still appears to be a work in progress but it should help him vs spinners.

 

[shariqnoor]

Williamson is a gentleman. Not sure other captains would've allowed that to go by without an appeal.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 51 runs in 54 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

51 runs are needed from 53 balls.

Pakistan should win this easily.

 

[Kroll]

Wowserssssssssssssssss

 

[shariqnoor]

Not sure why Daryl Mitchell hasn't been brought on. Pakistan struggles to score against these type of Mitchell / Grandhomme bowlers.

 

[imshally81]

What a shot... Effortless

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

masterclass by king riz on how to play on this sluggish pitch

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX

Harris looking good so far.

 

[Ali Active]

Wish Haris was young not 34

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan playing the anchor role?

Every one is an anchor in this team. Imam, Babar, Rizwan )

 

[Marooned]

Haris more talent in his little finger than half the trash we tried in middle order last one year or 2

 

[Kroll]

Harry, what a player!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Oh Haris sohail we have missed you

 

[Nasty Naz]

Haris with another big six. Such a nice looking player.

 

[IAJ]

Oh Haris where have you been yaar

 

[IMMY69]

Haris Suhail really is pure class.

Lets hip he remains injury free as he'll be crucial to to our World Cup chances

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis are 25 runs short here.

 

[IAJ]

Rizwan putting too much energy and effort in for nothing shots. Just play straight like Haris yaar.

 

[Justcrazy]

Haris Suhail really is pure class.

Lets hip he remains injury free as he'll be crucial to to our World Cup chances

Also , he gives you a spin bowling option.

 

[Plumb]

hahahaha thats true

 

[ask_analyse_act]

It should be Haris coming in now and not Rizwan. Why the infatuation to make him a #4 batsmen when he struggles vs spin?

I did say in the beginning of this thread. Haris should be coming in at 4 , rizwan is a faking himself as a ODI no.4 scratched his way to 50 today being low total to chase.

 

[Adi_62945]

Harris has a great history of making remarkable comeback before worldcups

 

[Fazzy321]

Btw Happy Birthday to Haris Sohail!

 

[ArabKnight]

This will be a last over match. Let’s see how Rizwan performs under pressure. It seems like he doesn’t want to get OUT no matter how slow he is batting.

 

[Snowflake]

Dramay shuru. As usual

 

[IAJ]

Rizwan cramping up. Come on dont give up, no more wickets.

 

[Kroll]

It's funny how they think we haven't cottoned onto their scams.

 

[ArabKnight]

Maybe Rizwan, it’s a sign that it is time to hit boundaries.

 

[Snowflake]

Rizwan cramping up. Come on dont give up, no more wickets.

If Rizwan goes, we'll win this with multiple overs to spare.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan is annoying

 

[Snowflake]

It's funny how they think we haven't cottoned onto their scams.

Thing is, doesn't matter what we know or what we don't. They'll keep doing what they are doing.

 

[ArabKnight]

It's funny how they think we haven't cottoned onto their scams.

Unfortunately, there is too many that are still brainwashed by little 50s.

 

[Kroll]

Dramay shuru. As usual

LOL, warrior Riz battling through the pain and agony.

 

[ArabKnight]

I think Rizwan should be rested for 4 years.

 

[Nasty Naz]

After a sluggish start, Rizwan has recovered quite well.

Now just step on the gas and finish this off.

 

[Kroll]

Riz should do some stretching and warm ups before taking the field.

 

[TheSultan]

How much time does rizwan spend on the floor?

 

[IAJ]

Oh yaar kya ho raha hai

 

[Amjid Javed]

Harris has looked excellent all inns.

Rizwan look like he's just playing for himself here.

 

[TheSultan]

What a bunch of softies - one aggressive shot and he needs a break

 

[ArabKnight]

Can we send Rizwan a runner? Is it allowed in ODI? [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION]

 

[Snowflake]

After a sluggish start, Rizwan has recovered quite well.

Now just step on the gas and finish this off.

You feel relaxed because of the way Harris has played till now. As usual, Rizwan has left it for someone else to do the difficult work of getting that run rate up.

Again, he played within his comfort zone by consuming way to many deliveries up front, not caring for that rrr that kept creeping up.

Just like how it was with Misbah, it always has to be someone else that needs to do the hard yards while these guys stay on the other end and do the thing that they are most comfortable in.

 

[TheSultan]

Can Rizwan ever just retire hurt rather than bore us with his theatrics every match

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Haris Sohail can be given role as a finisher, which Pak need big time
He along with Malik have chased down many totals for his side in domestics

 

[Snowflake]

How much time does rizwan spend on the floor?

It's all part of the RizShow.

 

[TheSultan]

Haris is pure class

 

[Justcrazy]

24 from 31 balls here. Pakistan need to try and finish this.

 

[TheSultan]

Thanks Riz…..all the New Zealanders say another wicket to his name

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

there was no need for that shpty

 

[ArabKnight]

The left hander Haris plays beautiful shots. Pure talented gentleman.

 

[IAJ]

Well played Haris

Khuda k liye yaar!

Any proper batsman who hits a few boundaries is termed as "finisher" and then sent down the order to clean up the mess that Babar and Rizwan create at the top order.

For God's sake, do not ruin Harris's career by turning him into a slogger as well; just because some cowards can't keep up with the pace of the game up top!

 

[Plumb]

cake cutting ceremony for Harris Comeback and making 32(23)

 

[sweep_shot]

29 runs are needed from 33 balls.

Haris is great to watch when on song.

 

[Nasty Naz]

One shot too many but good on Haris trying to finish this off quickly. Played a good and important innings and should be an easy finish for Pakistan at this point.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pakistan have kept the interest in game alive

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Is there a twist?

Well said.
Saved my time in writing. If Haris couldn't play that knock this chase would've been repeat of Asia Cup final.

Slogging was not required today. The highest NRR went up to was 6 an over. Easily managed by any decent batsman…

 

[IAJ]

Jo oye Rizwan

 

[Nasty Naz]

Woah Rizwan. Massive 6 off Ferguson.
