Pakistan [320/7] defeat South Africa [292] by 28 runs in the 3rd ODI to win the series 2-1

[Hasan123]

Phehlukwayo seems better when he has time to get going.

 

[IMMY69]

What is wrong with this Raif guy?
Short and wide again

 

[Rafa]

This doesn't make sense.

 

[angrypathan]

Hope Imam hasn't destroyed his thumb again

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need a couple of big overs , which is difficult to get .

 

[shariqnoor]

They are going to make a match of it, aren't they. Ridiculous stuff.

 

[Hasan123]

Dropped catch. I think it should have been taken.

 

[Aviator]

He is overacting coz he dropped the catch..

 

[Ahmed216]

Imam must be the best fielder in this side because he's stationed at point

 

[PakPremi]

All leg spinners bowl one lose delivery unless you are Warne. Qadir was very tidy uptilthe last over he bowled. He also bowled with flight and variation. Has all the tools to be good, control can be improved the more he plays internationals.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

1 wicket and game over. Even now i feel SA has to many to chase.

 

[MRSN]

That should have been caught. Ahmed Shehzad level darame baazi after dropping a sitter by Imam. Pathetic.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

At this level should be taken easily. Overacting at its best

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Can South Africa get close?

 

[Hasan123]

50 for Kyle Verreynne. Looks a good player.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Can South Africa get close?

They can but I don’t think they have fire power at the end to win it, i hope i am not wrong.

 

[MRSN]

Can South Africa get close?

They are already close

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Nail biter on its way

 

[Hasan123]

SA need a big over. Can't go at the pace for much longer.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

One of them will do a skier be ready boys.

 

[PakPremi]

Is Dussen injured?

 

[shah_1]

SA have got so much batting talent

 

[lahoriyah1234]

SA have got so much batting talent

We have none, yet we scored 320

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaheen bowling too good for SA

 

[Hasan123]

Tight over.

Game is in our control . Yall are panicking too much.

 

[Rana]

Love Shaheen's Yorkers. Absolute missiles at the batsmen's feet!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hassan Ali should not bowl unless he has to. Why nawaz is not bowling.

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali's knock proving to be invaluable. Without that, SAF would be favourites.

PAK gotta keep that RRR climbing, make batsmen take risks which'll create chances.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Spinner will take wicket here, bring Nawaz or Usman.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

99 off 10. Impossible unless you have a buttler, stokes or Bairstow batting. Phehlu can't hit pace. Looks atrocious against the short ball.

 

[Major]

I would had preferred had we bowled out Nawaz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need to keep squeezing and get the rrr over 12. Defensive tactics needed here and wickets will come

 

[Major]

Spinner will take wicket here, bring Nawaz or Usman.

na usman bowled too many bad deliveries

 

[Hasan123]

Maharaj is capable of playing a cameo. But it's too much to do now.

 

[Bewal Express]

99 off 10. Impossible unless you have a buttler, stokes or Bairstow batting. Phehlu can't hit pace. Looks atrocious against the short ball.

Short boundaries and bowlers that don't deal with pressure

 

[Major]

One good over by SA here and we could be in bit of trouble

 

[Justcrazy]

95 from 54 balls

 

[PakPremi]

Rauf also adapted quite well to ODIs. His variety is deceiving batsmen. Pak have many promising players just need more and more game time.

 

[Justcrazy]

One good over by SA here and we could be in bit of trouble

It will not happen.

 

[Major]

I think all three pacers will bowl the last overs

 

[Major]

Rauf also adapted quite well to ODIs. His variety is deceiving batsmen. Pak have many promising players just need more and more game time.

At death he is a great bowler. The only reason he is playing is due to his death bowling.

His starting spell is always dificult to watch

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

So refreshing to hear Sarfaraz. Different from his Gladiators persona

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali has bowled poorly but his batting has probably won us the game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Free hit

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Wasn’t a no ball.

 

[Darkrai]

In PSL Shaheen bowls yorkers for fun but for Pakistan yorkers turn into full toss no balls.

 

[Rana]

All you need is Shaheen to give you 7 runs off 1 ball!

 

[Major]

sarfraz talks too much man

 

[Major]

Was that really a no ball?

 

[Hasan123]

Who will Babar use other than Shaheen and Rauf?

 

[Omer2002]

Not finishing nawaz and qadir was a mistake

 

[sam_ahm]

Pakistan need to be careful here, I've never seen Phelukwayo do well against any country but Pakistan

 

[Major]

Who will Babar use other than Shaheen and Rauf?

Hasan Ali.

Cant use Nawaz now, too risky

 

[Major]

Not finishing nawaz and qadir was a mistake

Na, Qadir bowled terrible by the end. He was giving freebies

 

[Rana]

Hasan Ali could be a huge gamble here, should have gone with Rauf

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Usman should bowl 1 over could be match winning moment.

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali.

Cant use Nawaz now, too risky

Hopefully he doesn't use Faheem now as he is not a death bowler.

 

[Omer2002]

Congrats we have just madr phelukuwa into a batsman

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

sarfraz talks too much man

He is hillarious

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen are past fifty

 

[Saj]

Good partnership this.

Pakistan need to be careful here and not lose their discipline.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Short boundaries and bowlers that don't deal with pressure

SA have, historically, never chased well under pressure and that's when they had quality LOI players. I dont see them winning this unless Pakistan has a stinker.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Begging for a wicket here, this is starting to get tight

 

[Major]

Omg, this is going down till the last over

 

[TheNightWatchman]

taking it deep

 

[Shoaibbtt]

SA have, historically, never chased well under pressure and that's when they had quality LOI players. I dont see them winning this unless Pakistan has a stinker.

Yep, just sensible bowling needed. Big difference in our death bowlers and theirs, we aren't bowling Jon Jon or Aiden Markram.

Still plenty of runs to defend.

 

[Major]

good throw by hasan there

 

[TheNightWatchman]

great shot under pressure

 

[angrypathan]

Game is slipping away.

 

[Hasan123]

Great shot.

 

[IMMY69]

I have South Africa as favourite now .

Desperately need a wicket

 

[Omer2002]

This will be hard to take

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Very even. This partnership can take SA home.

Need 1 wicket ASAP. Should not have interrupted Nawaz's spell. He should have bowled atleast 2 more overs.

 

[IMMY69]

Great shot?

You don't ball length balls at this stage

 

[Major]

6

 

[sam_ahm]

Why on earth was Nawaz not bowled out?

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

Just what doctor ordered

 

[Sunzi]

Got a game on here. Not easy and it's high risk given the wickets down but a game on for sure.

 

[Hasan123]

Great fielding.

 

[sam_ahm]

I always knew about Kyle Verreynne's talent, he can still win this for Proteas.
