Pakistan (308/9) defeat South Africa (271) by 36 Runs in 3rd ODI to complete historic whitewash in the series

[kingusama92]

Is Nitin Menon blind or what? Clearly missing leg with that angle from naked eye

 

[PakPremi]

Welldone to Rizwan keeping faith with Sufyan rather than panicking and going to pacers on both end.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Clutch bowling

Tears. Cope

 

[kingusama92]

Game over.

In the end, Sufiyan has a decent debut.

 

[Nasty Naz]

A whitewash in SA! A historic sight.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Go see the opticians

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowled well towards the end. I think he struggled with the wet ball initially

 

[Mrhandsome]

Tbh they were 25 runs short but what captaincy by Rizwan

 

[Leeon1994]

Is Nitin Menon blind or what? Clearly missing leg with that angle from naked eye

You seem more upset than Rabada.

 

[PakPremi]

It seems Rizwan can do no wrong as a captain.

 

[kingusama92]

 

[Mrhandsome]

Sufiyan is here to stay

 

[umarf76]

Sufiyan has been unbelievably rubbish. 25 years old with zero FC in his career and it shows.

Just shows how clueless PCB are in developing their own talent. FC competition is rubbish and still players with talent like Sufiyan who need to hone their skills can't even get into the FC side and then look undercooked & wayward at the international level.

you are a great reader of talent

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Do you remember before Brexit every single english county team had at least one Kolpak player from SA, and after Brexit they all came running back!

But one issue with the quota system is you end with someone like Bavuma as your Test and Odi Captain

Yeah. I remember well. For me, the quota system was just an excuse for these South African cricketers to get better pay and improve the standard of living for their families.

You get stuff like that. But the hope is getting more Rabadas and Ngidis. It'll take time, but South Africa will find more black match-winners.

 

[Snowflake]

Very impressive from Rizwan to give Mukeem another chance to pick up some wickets and gain some confidence

 

[Leeon1994]

Rizwan has used whatever bowlers he had really well this match. Impressed.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Sufiyan bowled at peak hitting times, got 4-52 and yet is slagged throughout the thread. Oh well.

I see far more issues with Shaheen. Big issues.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rizzu acts very Sus. Quite the hug

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Apartheid is over.

This isn't a whitewash.

It's a multicultural wash from Pakistan

 

[Snowflake]

India has never produced a top class umpire

Or fans apparently

 

[Mrhandsome]

India has never produced a top class umpire

Now we know why

 

[Leeon1994]

a risk to persist with muqeem at this crucial stage... I would have gone with agha instead

Kaptaana knows better.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

You guys should have listened to me when I told you that Abrar and Sufiyan will come good.

Re: Sufiyan, its a given that he will go for runs. But he is a wicket taker and the mystery spin aspect is not something you can look past.

 

[Snowflake]

Rizzu acts very Sus. Quite the hug

Whom did he hug? I’m only getting the score

 

[aboveandbeyond]

What a Performance from Pakistan. Rizwan captaincy been refreshing. Very proactive

Klassen is gonna cry tonight again. LOL.
A sore loser.

Yep. Full credit to Rizwan how he captained him, and used him.

 

[Snowflake]

Yeah he has never seen SA get whitewashed at home in his entire career. This is definitely suspicious

 

[Seen Sheen]

Thank God, the message to the broadcasters to have the cameras switched off didn't get across....

A good captain makes huge difference.
Pakistan team is led brilliantly by rizwan.

Rizwan is much much better than zimbo and others.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Yep. Full credit to Rizwan how he captained him, and used him.

Rizwan deserves credit for the way he has captained in this series. But the credit for their performances goes to them.

 

[shaz619]

Congrats Pakistan fans, in any case I didn’t expect them to blitz SA in SA 3-0. Still have some serious reservations, but am going to enjoy it, especially after a magnificent century by Saim, a knock we will remember for some time. Great work by the spinners and some promising signs that the seamers may have their legs under them by some miracle.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

We created history tonight. Well done boys, you really played well.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Okay guys, the fun's over. Test series beginning in 3 days.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

sticking with Sufyan in the end proved master stroke

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Okay guys, the fun's over. Test series beginning in 3 days.

let us enjoy the moment

 

[Muhammad Saad]

We just need one of the pacer in prime form and replace Shafiq with Imam (who is in good Knick and have Fakhar in the squad as well) and we are hot favorites to win champions trophy.

 

[Leeon1994]

Rizwan deserves credit for the way he has captained in this series. But the credit for their performances goes to them.

You know Zimbu wouldnt even use Sufyan again after few overs when he was being incosistent and hit hard across the ground.

 

[Aami]

Looks like this might be Pskistan squad for CT ... with just one change, Fakhar for Usman.

 

[Nasty Naz]

you are a great reader of talent

He bowled rubbish. Just because he got wickets doesn't mean he bowled well. First wicket was a half tracker, 2nd was lucky not to be hit for boundary. He bowled so badly he was out of the attack until Klaasen got out and bowled well to tailenders who struggled to pick him.

Either way, Sufiyan should be bowling in FC regardless to hone his control over line/length. Bowling half trackers half the game isn't always going to lead to wickets.

Pak is never hot favorite for anything

Thank god those days are over lol. The number of times we had teams by the throat, and then just allowed them to run away with the game. All thanks to King's amazing captaincy.

 

[shah9425]

History been made

Great captaincy

 

[corleone]

Glad Rizwan showed more patience and faith in Sufiyan than so-called PP experts. Finished the game with respectable numbers.

No doubt Sufiyan is still raw but he will come good. A few seasons in FC cricket will improve his control. Unfortunate that he was bowling to an ATG player of spin with a wet ball.

 

[Nasty Naz]

A well deserved player of the series for Saim Ayub.

 

[Usman]

Why is sky sports not showing the presentation and the moment the team lifts the trophy

 

[Mamoon]

Credit goes to Rizwan for persisting with Sufyan but credit also goes to Sufyan for showing stout character and not letting the flurry of boundaries and long hops deter his confidence. This is something that Shadab and Usama lacked.

As a wrist spinner, you are always at risk of going for plenty but you will also always be likely to pick up wickets, so your head should always be in the game.

 

[Savak]

Indians will downplay this win stating this was a below par SA team without Nortge, Coetzee, Maharaj while Pakistan played a full strength team.

 

[Pakpak]

He bowled rubbish. Just because he got wickets doesn't mean he bowled well. First wicket was a half tracker, 2nd was lucky not to be hit for boundary. He bowled so badly he was out of the attack until Klaasen got out and bowled well to tailenders who struggled to pick him.

Either way, Sufiyan should be bowling in FC regardless to hone his control over line/length. Bowling half trackers half the game isn't always going to lead to wickets.

Out of his 848 balls 26 were dots and 4 were wickets. Take a day off.

 

[Savak]

A big factor in Pakistan's change in ODI fortunes is getting wickets and control by the spinners in the early and middle overs which Shadab and Usama had not been providing

 

[Pakpak]

Indians will downplay this win stating this was a below par SA team without Nortge, Coetzee, Maharaj while Pakistan played a full strength team.

This wasn't a full team, Abrar, Rauf and someone else wasn't there. In addition we have 4 debutants in their first proper season with us.

 

[Savak]

Sufiyan bowled at peak hitting times, got 4-52 and yet is slagged throughout the thread. Oh well.

I see far more issues with Shaheen. Big issues.

He came back well considering his first two overs went for close to 30

 

[gazza619]

A big factor in Pakistan's change in ODI fortunes is getting wickets and control by the spinners in the early and middle overs which Shadab and Usama had not been providing

Plus you got to mention Riz’s captaincy. He could have easily taken off Sufiyan and given the ball to Agha

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

A big factor in Pakistan's change in ODI fortunes is getting wickets and control by the spinners in the early and middle overs which Shadab and Usama had not been providing

The spinners were the biggest reason for Pakistan's failure at the World Cup. Nawaz averaged 112 with the ball and Shadab averaged 119. And these guys were playing as all-rounders which made their performances even more criminal.

 

[shah9425]

So happy I'm

Time for some bhangra

 

[Savak]

Hope Pakistan uses the ODI series whitewash as motivation and self belief that they can win the upcoming test matches in South Africa

 

[PakPremi]

A good captain makes huge difference.
Pakistan team is led brilliantly by rizwan.

Rizwan is much much better than zimbo and others.

I been impressed with his captaincy since PSL tournaments.

 

[heddie19]

Huge Huge Congratulations to Kaptana Rizwana for completing the withewash<3 I just hope we could defend the CT at home. Need the silverware and Rizwan seems the perfect captain for it.

 

[heddie19]

Have you come to finally rate Saim Ayub? Will you accept you were wrong on your judgement of him?

No those 2 idiots will stay say that Sahibzada Farhan > Saim Ayub

 

[heddie19]

You know Zimbu wouldnt even use Sufyan again after few overs when he was being incosistent and hit hard across the ground.

You realize that Babar is the captain who introduced Sufyan and Saim (as a regular) to the PSL. Please do us a favor and stop embarrasing yourself.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Indians will downplay this win stating this was a below par SA team without Nortge, Coetzee, Maharaj while Pakistan played a full strength team.

I do not see how Maharaj could have done better than Fortuin. Pak won first 2 ODIs on back of young guns anyway. First Saim Ayub and KG in second. so Pak and SA were on Par as far as playing eleven was concerned

 

[Aami]

@Rana & @mominsaigol deserve this humiliation.

Pakistan Zindabad

Ha ha

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

You realize that Babar is the captain who introduced Sufyan and Saim (as a regular) to the PSL. Please do us a favor and stop embarrasing yourself.

but Babar would not have continued with Sufyan after his first 5. Thats reality that you should accept

 

[heddie19]

but Babar would not have continued with Sufyan after his first 5. Thats reality that you should accept

He would have, he always used his "bowlers" properly. One thing Babar wouldn't have done would be giving Saim a full quota of 10 overs.

 

[heddie19]

He would have, he always used his "bowlers" properly. One thing Babar wouldn't have done would be giving Saim a full quota of 10 overs.

Since he wouldn't have done that, he would use Sufyan as a regular bowler.

 

[heddie19]

I do not see how Maharaj could have done better than Fortuin. Pak won first 2 ODIs on back of young guns anyway. First Saim Ayub and KG in second. so Pak and SA were on Par as far as playing eleven was concerned

We again won today because of SA.

1st ODI SA
2nd ODI KG
3rd ODI SA

Young'uns.

 

[Aami]

Is it just me who wants to SLAP Hasnain every time I see him ...

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He would have, he always used his "bowlers" properly. One thing Babar wouldn't have done would be giving Saim a full quota of 10 overs.

LOL you cant use bowlers properly if you cant read the game. Babar is that captain that will stick to original game plan Regardless of situation. we have all seen that before. Rizwan did nt need to bowl sufyan anymore. if Babar did nt need sufyan anymore to complete rest of the overs he would 100% not give him an extra over

 

[imshally81]

You are underestimating here.... Yes we know SA is a choker ....but only in big tournaments ... Not at home....
So give credit where it's due

I don't completely disagree with you but the reason to bring back Sufyan had a lot to do with Shaheen getting smacked left, right and centre.

 

[Slim]

Congratulations boys! Loving the taste of regular success.

Rizwan rightly recognized Sufyan’s Effectiveness against tail enders. Nothing to do with Shaheen who ran into klaasen with wet ball that was coming right onto bat

 

[Dantheone]

I think this team is settling well now. And couple of players in the squad can be utilised as needed. Shafique needs to go.
Biggest plus is that there are good spinners available now.
Saim is coming up really well. He should continue doing well. Beautiful game awareness.
Rizwan is fantastic as a captain - not sure how his haters are taking up the success.
I thought Shaheen also bowled well picking up critical wickets in all matches.
Agha is also doing great lower down the order - has a strong off-side game.
Well done overall!

Babar and lucky charm? Lmao.

This is down to Saim, Agha, Kamran, Rizwan, and Shaheen.

Even after Klaasen's dismissal. Shaheen was very expensive.
