Pakistan (329) defeat South Africa (248) by 81 runs to clinch the 3-match ODI series by an unassailable lead of 2-0

[castortroy]

SA can cruise for a while, wickets in hand and then can release the firepower in klaasen and miller

 

[mango_bite77]

Poor last ball by Abrar

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bit worried.

 

[neonoir]

De zorzi is bang average and Pak bowlers are making him look like Adam Gilchrist

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rizwan tried to make up for his slow start and ended with nearly run a ball 80.

Babar was too slow.

 

[jamie smith]

de zorzi is like 2nd coming of gayle

 

[jnaveen1980]

De zorzi is bang average and Pak bowlers are making him look like Adam Gilchrist

He looks average. But he averages 43 at a strike rate of 94

 

[castortroy]

Pitch hasn't changed whatsoever

 

[jamie smith]

Rizwan tried to make up for his slow start and ended with nearly run a ball 80.

Babar was too slow.

he and babar cost **** about 25-30 runs

 

[Rana]

Well done for recognising there is never 2 on Niazi

 

[neonoir]

He looks average. But he averages 43 at a strike rate of 94

Small sample size think he has only played 10 Odi's but even in first class and list a he averages mid 30's

 

[jamie smith]

niazi is a live wire in the field

Well done for recognising there is never 2 on Niazi

 

[Rana]

De Zorzi’s going out this over I recon

 

[jamie smith]

Small sample size think he has only played 10 Odi's but even in first class and list a he averages mid 30's

he will likely struggle in internationals with his technique

 

[jnaveen1980]

This De zozi was the best player against India. He made 28, 119*, 81. Hit a lot of sixes. Turns out his worst numbers are against Afghanistan. May be spin weakness.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

De Zorzi won’t survive Abrar I recon

There you go

Bamboozled

 

[gazza619]

De Zorzi won’t survive Abrar I recon

Good one!

 

[Ahmed216]

De Zorzi’s going out this over I recon

More of this please

 

[gazza619]

Abrar doing good so far. I know you dont like him @mominsaigol ?

 

[jamie smith]

spot on bro

De Zorzi’s going out this over I recon

 

[stani_pak]

Nicely done by Abrar Ahmed, but I am missing the glasses on him haha great delivary

 

[kingusama92]

Beautiful delivery from Abrar!

 

[Rana]

The two duds out

Now the game begins for SA

5 key wickets here

 

[shamaan]

Beatiful delivery

 

[Ahmed216]

Rauf has found the right length for this surface

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

looks like perfect track for spin trap

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan is in good shape for CT.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Rauf has found the right length for this surface

wicket looking bit slow now so perfect combo for Pak bowlers now

 

[Speedster1]

Great deliver Abrar

 

[Rana]

If you want to take Abrar down,,

Don’t guess. Just get right under him like Miller did in the first T20

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

If you want to take Abrar down,,

Don’t guess. Just get right under him like Miller did in the first T20

lets hope they do not

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

dussen is candidate for LbW against abrar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

spot on bro

How's the newborn?

 

[Rana]

lets hope they do not

It’s poor coaching by SA

Miller showed them how to play him

The rest of the batsmen haven’t learned since

 

[followed]

Abrar the nerd is bowling decently.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan is in good shape for CT.

 

[Ahmed216]

Very crafty so far Ibby. Varying his pace

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

It’s poor coaching by SA

Miller showed them how to play him

The rest of the batsmen haven’t learned since

Miller can stay as long as we get the others around him

 

[Ahmed216]

Agha sitting out. Is he injured? Will be a big blow

 

[The Bald Eagle]

The comparison so far. Spin seems to be the key for Pakistan here

 

[imshally81]

Agha should bowl now

 

[imshally81]

RR is under 6....

 

[Rana]

SA are gonna lose anyways if they just look to play out Abrar

Might as well go after him now and beat him out of the attack

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan is in good shape for CT.

They are the only ones with a settled lineup

Fakhar
Saim
Babar
Rizwan
Agha
Kamran
?
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Spinner

Can't think of another top side that has so many spots locked in.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Agha should bowl now

I think better to bring him now than later on

 

[imshally81]

They are the only ones with a settled lineup

Fakhar
Saim
Babar
Rizwan
Agha
Kamran
?
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Spinner

Can't think of another top side that has so many spots locked in.

Saud at number 5 and agha at 7

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are the only ones with a settled lineup

Fakhar
Saim
Babar
Rizwan
Agha
Kamran
?
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Spinner

Yes. Formwise they look good too.

 

[Rana]

This batting is going nowhere

 

[Ahmed216]

Use of the crease. Changes in pace.

Beautiful bowling ibby yaar

 

[Rana]

5 runs in the last 3 overs

 

[imshally81]

Good over by abrar ....

 

[imshally81]

Agha on

 

[The Bald Eagle]

5 runs in the last 3 overs

Momentum shifted greatly ...another wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha gets the wicket straight away

 

[Rana]

Rubbish batting

 

[imshally81]

Gone..

 

[Ahmed216]

Agha again pointing towards Kaptaana

 

[Rana]

Miller and Klaasen need to step on it or this game/series is gone for SA

 

[jamie smith]

agha murali on fire

 

[gazza619]

They are the only ones with a settled lineup

Fakhar
Saim
Babar
Rizwan
Agha
Kamran
?
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Spinner

Can't think of another top side that has so many spots locked in.

I am still not convinced with Riz at 4. I would go with:

Saim
Fakhar
KG
Babar
Saud
Agha
Riz
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Abrar

 

[PakPremi]

This is why Babar & Rizwan platform was smart and allowed Pakistan to launch from last20 overs.

 

[jamie smith]

if klassen and miller are gone cheaply then it will be a big win for pak

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Miller and Klaasen need to step on it or this game/series is gone for SA

Bro remember 51/49

 

[jamie smith]

This is why Babar & Rizwan platform was smart and allowed Pakistan to launch from Middle overs.

kamrans knock was the key. smashed sixes for fun

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

People keep talking s**t about Abrar but he has been nothing but brilliant in white-ball for Pakistan so far

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Series winning MOTM knock by Kaptaana today. So-called 400 chasers of SA haha cannot even cross 250 maybe 200 from looks!

 

[imshally81]

Love to see this dry overs....old Memories

 

[PakPremi]

I am still not convinced with Riz at 4. I would go with:

Saim
Fakhar
KG
Babar
Saud
Agha
Riz
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf
Abrar

KG will fail more often than not with pacers at 3. His best position is 4 or 5

 

[jnaveen1980]

spin choke. Klassen is a spin basher. But he chokes under pressure.

 

[jamie smith]

saffers except killer and klassen are duds against spinners

 

[The Bald Eagle]

spin choke. Klassen is a spin basher. But he chokes under pressure.

Yeah fondly remember....

 

[jamie smith]

spin choke. Klassen is a spin basher. But he chokes under pressure.

yeah smashes spinners like no other day

 

[PakPremi]

Series winning MOTM knock by Kaptaana today. So-called 400 chasers of SA haha cannot even cross 250 maybe 200 from looks!

So called 500 pitch is not producing 10 runs per over as we were led to believe decent batsmen would score on this pitch.

 

[jamie smith]

4 for klassen

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

yeah smashes spinners like no other day

His day comes vs substandard bowlers on highways. Here against this attack he is cooked.

 

[jamie smith]

klassen on fire

 

[jamie smith]

His day comes vs substandard bowlers on highways. Here against this attack he is cooked.

jinxed you with 2 boundaries

 

[imshally81]

11 runs in last over

 

[jamie smith]

ai bot is back guys

His day comes vs substandard bowlers on highways. Here against this attack he is cooked.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

So called 500 pitch is not producing 10 runs per over as we were led to believe decent batsmen would score on this pitch.

Apparently it was a belter according to intellectuals. But then the same people predicted a whitewash for SA. No understanding of the game so not surprised. King and Kaptaana humbled the haters today. @Mamoon @shah9425 @Ahmed216 @MMHS @Major @Bewal Express @Kianig89
