Pakistan (264/8) secure a two-wicket victory in a nail-biting encounter in the series opener against South Africa (263)

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 68 runs in 70 balls.

 

[Human786]

dew - should be fairly easy from here .

told you ... 196/4

 

[jamie smith fan]

That should be their target.

If you gonna play against BC sides then win in style.

Otherwise what's the point?

They dont even have proper spinners for this surface

 

[shah9425]

Lol - vot a lubly innings

Yeah great innings much better than your ugly tulla players

 

[cricfan432]

Lets see how hussain “single double” talat does

 

[TheSultan]

55 off 74 is a pretty poor knock in the context of the game. At least get the asking rate down to under a run a ball

 

[imranq]

man this is so boring.... effective but boring

 

[jamie smith fan]

Now only mohammad nawaz.
Hassan and talat cant play

 

[TheSultan]

Lets see how hussain “single double” talat does

Hate these type of tuk tuk merchants - gone with him - hope he’s out in a couple of over or it will cost us

 

[jamie smith fan]

This is looking pretty boring.
Atleast play to entertain people

 

[pakfan54588]

Sa have real chance agha hussain and hasan nawaz are not quality cricketer

 

[jamie smith fan]

Hate these type of tuk tuk merchants - gone with him - hope he’s out in a couple of over or it will cost us

He was crying he is not given chances in odis.
Now lets see waht he does

 

[Human786]

told you ... 196/4

this game is over ...

 

[jamie smith fan]

Rizwan gone and @RizwanT20Champ goes hiding into his bil.

 

[Kianig89]

Run a ball req.

 

[Rana]

Good knock from Riz.

If Bobby doesn't get you Riz will

Like India learned in NY

 

[Kianig89]

One out of top 4 should have scored a 100, to carry innings

 

[Rana]

@Rana will you celebrate this win if Rizwan chases it down?

Jita diya match?

 

[Kianig89]

Agha has alot to prove, better guid the team home

 

[jamie smith fan]

Run a ball req.

Rizwan put unnecessary pressure by playing test match
What a pathetic loser

 

[Rana]

Typical bongi

He scored his runs

Team jaye bhaar main!

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan can still muck it up , they can go hot & cold anytime

 

[pakfan54588]

Our so called domestic cricket veteran .Zero game awareness opportunity miss by dekock

 

[Kianig89]

Agha can be the MOM

 

[jamie smith fan]

Now watch talat dance on the crease.
Another mental midget from rizbar category

 

[Kianig89]

SSA will be nervous, though he made a bold call by not picking Rauf rafale

 

[jamie smith fan]

Why was kg dropped??
Another man victim of lobbying

 

[Kianig89]

Hussain Talat the world is at your feet

 

[cricfan432]

Talat has good strike rotation

 

[Rana]

Hussain Talat the world is at your feet

It’s a pointless ODI v South Africa waterboys

Pakistan fans feel they are the world.

Of course they do, they live on another planet in general!

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

SSA will be nervous, though he made a bold call by not picking Rauf rafale

Raufale is banned for two matches.

 

[pakfan54588]

I agree kamran ghulam was wrongly drop from odi squad he is way better than talat

 

[Rana]

Linde has been a pure let down for Saffers here.

This track was tailor made for him to strike crucially for them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

58, 74, 77 three strike rates from MO lol

 

[Kianig89]

KG had the ability to play at good SR, shame he was dropped

 

[DRsohail]

India - Australia series is prestigious series because of two best team in the World.

Even Australia played with full strength team against India.

They always play with best available players in ODI and test series .

You said no tea

India - Australia series is prestigious series because of two best team in the World.

Even Australia played with full strength team against India.

They always play with best available players in ODI and test series .

So you are eating your own words that no team takes bilateral seriously but its not the case.

 

[Justcrazy]

Agha needs to bat through here

 

[pakfan54588]

Good partnership

 

[pakfan54588]

After playing 54 balls agha is still not middling the ball

 

[RidiculousMan]

After playing 54 balls agha is still not middling the ball

He just hit a six

 

[Rana]

Good 59 from the man who booted out and showed auqaat to 2 big frauds in the history of Pakistan cricket

 

[jamie smith fan]

What is wrong with aghas gloves??
It is soo much annoying

 

[TeymurBlake]

Aamer Sohail & Ramiz Raja have been shameful in there commentary.

The bias is evident. Disgusting.

 

[pakfan54588]

He just hit a six

Yup need to finish the match

 

[Rana]

Aamer Sohail & Ramiz Raja have been shameful in there commentary.

The bias is evident. Disgusting.

No one is holding them accountable

It seems the people in the PCB can’t understand English

 

[jamie smith fan]

Good 59 from the man who booted out and showed auqaat to 2 big frauds in the history of Pakistan cricket

Also at a better clip than the fraud مولانا

 

[saabir]

Pakistan finally got a solid Top 5 in ODIs..all have a very good average close to 40 with decent strike rate.

 

[Rana]

Also at a better clip than the fraud مولانا

But his fans want to tell us Rizwan is the reason we will win today

 

[jamie smith fan]

But his fans want to tell us Rizwan is the reason we will win today

Rizwan is good for trsts but in LOis he sucks.
We badly need a wk bat for white ball who is neat behind the stumps and can at a good clip at no 6/7

 

[DRsohail]

Good job Rizwan today,

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan really did the donkey work to stabilise the innings and set up foundation, but these things go unnoticed good that SsA acknowledges it

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan getting closer to victory

 

[Rana]

Rizwan really did the donkey

Yes. Agreed.

 

[TheSultan]

Can’t help but feel they have really stretched this - should have been over by 45 overs

 

[imshally81]

Should be a wide

 

[RidiculousMan]

King Talat gone

 

[pakfan54588]

Its not over yet ..talat gone

 

[TheSultan]

Cheers Talat - what a waste of the no6 slot

 

[Kianig89]

Agha talking his time, maybe he enjoys batting in this deathwell ala FSD stadion

 

[pakfan54588]

Hasan nawaz scored 50 odd runs in last 8 t20i .He is not in good form

 

[Kianig89]

From opener to no 7 , the intent merchant needs to curb the intent here

 

[saabir]

Rizwan is good for trsts but in LOis he sucks.
We badly need a wk bat for white ball who is neat behind the stumps and can at a good clip at no 6/7

What u want from your wicket keeper. Rizwan is the best Wicket keeper batter pakistan have ever produced so far imo. His average 41 with 85 strike rate which is more than good enough even purely for a batter alone. I don't understand why Pakistani fansa hates him so much..

 

[pakfan54588]

Hahahah agha panicking

 

[Kianig89]

This may go down the wire, SA are a wicket away

 

[Kianig89]

Agha should take the initiative, he should not be selfish

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz gone

 

[pakfan54588]

Haahhaahahahahaha what was that

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Wow...really poor batting

 

[pakfan54588]

Pathetic from hasan nawaz

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan nawaz has managed to get out to the worst bowler of the day

 

[jamie smith fan]

Hassan tulla gone.
Another batters career destroyed by terrible pcb management rip

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Nawaz very much looking like a player who has only played 5 List A matches in his entire career and little understanding of how ODI is played.

This is what happens when you select players that are so raw and have virtually little to no domestic experience in the format.

 

[saabir]

hasan Nawaz gone..ohh this is quite interesting now. Pakistan make a mistake taking it so deep. Another wicket here especially of Salman will make them so nervous .

 

[Kianig89]

The intent merchant fizzed our

 

[imshally81]

Who will replace nawaz in next ODI?

 

[jamie smith fan]

hasan Nawaz gone..ohh this is quite interesting now. Pakistan make a mistake taking it so deep. Another wicket here especially of Salman will make them so nervous .

Match winner still to come

 

[Kianig89]

Agha batting selfishly bit blind posters unable to see

 

[pakfan54588]

Nawaz should have been ahead of hasan nawaz

 

[jamie smith fan]

Who will replace nawaz in next ODI?

He will not be dropped

 

[Kianig89]

Will be an epic choke from here on!
