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

[Ahmed216]

Review wasted it believe

 

[hafizexpress]

That girl's poster says it all. "Killer Miller"

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Brilliant ball, brilliant review!

HUGE!

 

[Ahmed216]

Tata Tata bye bye killer miller

 

[kingusama92]

Big wicket!

That's what they needed

 

[Slim]

This South African umpire is absolutely horrible, 2 back to back howlers. Thankgod we have DRS which the enemies of game, indians, opposed for so long.

 

[gazza619]

This umpire is either a cheat or severely dumb

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan has been good with reviews today.

 

[emranabbas]

Big wicket

 

[Ahmed216]

Klaasen is pissed they are reversing the ball

 

[Rana]

Wicket against the run of play

Big wicket actually

 

[batandballbattle]

2 good reviews taken, pendulum swings back our way now

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This umpire is either a cheat or severely dumb

Too wicked or too stupid

 

[jamie smith]

excellent review

 

[Smbhayi]

That's a good review, thought there was a no edge tbh..

 

[stani_pak]

Great review, great ball and more importantly a great wicket, miller is soo dangerous

 

[hafizexpress]

Shaheen is Shaheen at the end of the day

 

[Slim]

Klaasen is pissed they are reversing the ball

Would love to see him cry again.

 

[Rana]

What a crap umpire

 

[jamie smith]

jansen phelu and fortuin are no duds with the bat

 

[Slim]

Shaheen is Shaheen at the end of the day

Yeah, hard to hate him. Always comes clutch. He has been getting his pace back.

 

[hafizexpress]

Miller just wasn't playing his natural game. He has the ability to slap that to mid wicket but ended up trying to block it

 

[AAli98]

If Klaasen has concrete evidence pak are fiddling with the ball then say, otherwise shut your mouth.

 

[Ahmed216]

All pacers have been quick

 

[Slim]

South african seem too emotional this series, i like the passion. Our boys been matching them well.

 

[hafizexpress]

Yeah, hard to hate him. Always comes clutch. He has been getting his pace back.

Yeah even last game he came through to burst open Klassen's defence who was well set. Strike bowler doing strike bowler things

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Too much for Klaasen alone now, time to choke now

 

[Smbhayi]

This umpire is either a cheat or severely dumb

Lol that's no howler, even Rizwan believes that's fifty-fifty.. both Rizwan and Afridi celebrappealed but takes the review second last second..

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klaasen is such a classical South African player. Keeps the fans hopes alive till the end and then chokes to shatter them. We all know its only a matter of time before he does the same here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA commeies genuinely believe they have a chance? How? They believe Jansen?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Crap bowling from Agha.

 

[Smbhayi]

Back-to-back six by klassen.. first one should've taken..

 

[stani_pak]

Need to get Klassen out soon

 

[Slim]

Need to take Agha off

 

[hafizexpress]

Agha Salman definitely gives Rizwan good massages for him to be bowling out his full quota right now

 

[batandballbattle]

agha taken to the cleaners today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Crap bowling from Agha.

That is just a good batting i have to say. Not many in the world can play that shot.

 

[Slim]

Back-to-back six by klassen.. first one should've taken..

Third life for him?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He knows it's more important to stay at the crease rather than hit shots right now. If he's there around 40 overs mark, it's Miller time

nope

 

[Rana]

Too much to do for SA

Someone besides Klaasen needs to play the KG innings

 

[Ahmed216]

Need to take Agha off

He's been overbowled today. Captains mistake. Should have filled in with a few from Saim

 

[gazza619]

We really should have bowled a bit of Saim so Salman didnt have to bowl 10 overs.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Will take a special delivery to dismiss Klaasen here..

 

[hafizexpress]

nope

He failed in classic SA manner

 

[KingKhanWC]

Who would have thought centuries ago Viking genetics would see a cricketer hit balls with ease.

This could been very special from Klassan

Pak can’t lose now ..if they get K

 

[jnaveen1980]

Too much to do for SA

Someone besides Klaasen needs to play the KG innings

Their batting structure is awful.

 

[gazza619]

Shaheen looking good here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is holding up. Usually these shots from Klassen land in the stands

 

[boomboomcheema]

Shafique didn't even bother what lazy bunch of fielders are these.

 

[Slim]

I want Shafiq to be kicked out of the team. Not only he is a pathetic batsman but has a garbage mentality similar to Usama.

And Shaheen gets him, lfgggg!!!

 

[gazza619]

Yay old shaheen is back

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jansen is a no.8 , no.9 batsman at best. TOld you. WHen you play SA. Just take 4 wickets you are in.

 

[Ahmed216]

from Shaheen

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow that was long time in the air but nobody reached.. and perfect Yorker to clean bowl Jansen..

 

[Slim]

Shafique didn't even bother what lazy bunch of fielders are these.

Shafique is mentally shot since birth. Hes terrible.

 

[emranabbas]

Another wicket

 

[kingusama92]

Wow brilliant delivery from Afridi!

He's been tremendous in this spell.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Now Klaasen will cry and say its ball-tampering

 

[jamie smith]

shaheen doing shaheen things atm

 

[batandballbattle]

pinpoint yorker
klaasen's back must be coming out with pains the way he's having to carry this batting lineup

 

[Mamoon]

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

0 IQ fans exposed again. @emranabbas

 

[kingusama92]

Shaheen is finding form at the perfect time heading into the CT.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Phelu is useless and South Africa are cooked

 

[shah_1]

Old shaheen is back..what a series for him

 

[emranabbas]

0 IQ fans exposed again. @emranabbas

Outfield was fast their is day and night diffrence between kg innings and rizwans innings

Is said 300+ you were saying it's 200 lol

Yeah the same KG who you hated on

Egg faced now you

 

[stani_pak]

Great yorker by Shaheen and bowling with good speed too

 

[hafizexpress]

Part of being a sports fan is recognizing when even the players you criticize perform well. This is not a 350-500 pitch like people were saying. Babar and Rizwan batted well, KG batted like a true modern finisher, and Pakistan has bowled decently.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Lol seriously though what happened to the 400-420 pitch?

One genius even said this was a 550 pitch

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol seriously though what happened to the 400-420 pitch?

One genius even said this was a 550 pitch

Lol 550 because Rizwan scored

 

[gazza619]

Lol seriously though what happened to the 400-420 pitch?

One genius even said this was a 550 pitch

To be honest Pakistan has bowled exceptionally well.

If England, India or Australia were batting first on this, 375-400 would have been possible

 

[Ahmed216]

Must applaud Klaasen. What a player!

 

[batandballbattle]

More time off for Shaheen has allowed him to come back with a bang. Shows the value of player management.

 

[shaz619]

Reverse swing, yorkers, Babar fielding at mid-on talking baqwas helping keep his speeds up…..

The very happy GOAT is back:

 

[jamie smith]

i already posted before the toss that 330 is par on this pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa ODI performance aagainst different teams in their most recent encounter

NZ beat SA in 2021
Bangladesh beat SA in 2022
India beat SA in 2023
Now Pakistan is beating SA in 2024

Worst SENA home team in ODIs by far

 

[Ahmed216]

To be honest Pakistan has bowled exceptionally well.

If England, India or Australia were batting first on this, 375-400 would have been possible

Some pitches require you to dig in and play classic ODI cricket.
England are prone to collapses if it's not flat.
A lot of players these days aim only for the stands

 

[shaz619]

Now Klaasen will cry and say its ball-tampering

Klassen just got that red face which looks like he’s always crying, he takes his gussah out with big chukkaz

 

[Cricket Warrior]

i already posted before the toss that 330 is par on this pitch

Ìts more than a par.. avg score is 280 on this ground.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Will take a special delivery to dismiss Klaasen here..

Looked like he was out LBW to Salman but they decided not to take the review

 

[batandballbattle]

Rauf looking more switched on today, hitting the right lengths better
