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

[Ahmed216]

Terrible start to the ove from Naseem.

Claasen just about keeping SA in the hunt

 

[boomboomcheema]

What lines are the pacers bowling , no respite against Klaasen. Spinners getting hit for sixes, pacers being hit in gaps.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Klaasen looking dangerous

He will take too much risk and perish in the process. Other option is , other end is open to have a go.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan need to get Klaasen out.

He is on 92* from 68 balls.

I still think Pakistan may win, Too much for kalseem to chase imo

 

[mango_bite77]

Rizwans miss proving costly

 

[sweep_shot]

I still think Pakistan may win, Too much for kalseem to chase imo

Yes. Pakistan should win.

 

[Buffet]

SA has lost too many wickets

 

[Nasty Naz]

144k's from Naseem there.

 

[boomboomcheema]

One boundary off the over is all they need, over ruined with the trash first ball.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwans miss proving costly

Its too much for kalseem to chase? If he does then this is another Abdul razzaq or miandad 1986 innings coming up.

Regardless I think pk will win but if they lose no worries.

Pakistan in odi have been fire recently and I'm happy with all results so far

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the problem. You can't win with just one guy. THey conceded too many.

 

[PakPremi]

No one said it was a 400 or 550 pitch

300+ is what posters said when rizwan and babar were playing at 60 strike

People were saying it's 220 pitch

400 and 500 were mentioned.

 

[hafizexpress]

It is a 300+ pitch if your blind to see SA crumbling not my fault

Rizwan and babar played a rubbish inning on this pitch it's a fact when harris rauf is launching a boundary on first ball

Rauf's only job was to hit the ball. That could've gone sailing in any pitch or ground. How are you making a judgement of the pitch based on one ball that Rauf played?

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Fortuin is gone.

SA - 243/8.

 

[mominsaigol]

Game over

 

[Mamoon]

It is a 300+ pitch if your blind to see SA crumbling not my fault

Rizwan and babar played a rubbish inning on this pitch it's a fact when harris rauf is launching a boundary on first ball

But but but but I’m not crying.

 

[emranabbas]

Rauf's only job was to hit the ball. That could've gone sailing in any pitch or ground. How are you making a judgement of the pitch based on one ball that Rauf played?

Why is that no often then did you even see the outfield, how fast the ball was rolling?

 

[stani_pak]

Nassem strikes would love to see Klassen get out before making his century

 

[Smbhayi]

Why are sa throwing their wicket away..? Just give strike to Klassen

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bbay has arrived

 

[batandballbattle]

Taking wickets at the other end at least. Klaasen will either hole out or run out of partners I think

 

[Nasty Naz]

Honestly these two should play white ball series more often to be honest. It was a fun competitive series last time in SA too. I know the SA tour used to be deadly and it still is Tests but whiteball wise it's been great. Could be Pakistan's 3rd ODI series win here in the last 11 years after never winning before.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why did they take a single lol Brain freeze of the highest order

 

[KingKhanWC]

Klassan can finish this if others stick around.

 

[Fazzy321]

Another one gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Klassen's brain freeze of taking single hahha what was he thinking

 

[imshally81]

9 down

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Klassan can finish this if others stick around.

Lol...but others look in too hurry

 

[Smbhayi]

Wicket no.9 gone..

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

OZ and SA away series win. I see much progress.

 

[stani_pak]

Afridi deserves a 5fer

 

[Nasty Naz]

4 for Afridi. Make it 4 consecutive overs with a wicket now.

 

[batandballbattle]

lol what was klaasen doing... tell the pup to stay at the other end!

 

[jamie smith]

game over now

 

[boomboomcheema]

Memorable spell by Shaheen.

 

[Smbhayi]

Can Klassen get his hundred..?

 

[mango_bite77]

Game over

People were calling it 400 pitch.

 

[emranabbas]

But but but but I’m not crying.

Only one crying is to justify your blind love for rizwab and babar. We have won 2 games without their contribution hence you talk about the pitch to justify their crap batting

Kg is thr hero of the match the sane KG you hate

 

[gazza619]

4 for Afridi. Make it 4 consecutive overs with a wicket now.

This is the best I have seen him bowl after a long time

 

[mominsaigol]

People were calling it 400 pitch.

I didn't, I called it a 350 pitch which I still agree with.

Sa has batted very poorly in both games though besides Klaseen.

 

[Hyder]

But but but but it is a 350 pitch

But but but but Babar and Rizwan have wasted too many balls and the lower order will not be able to do anything

But but but but Pakistan will have a below par total

Klaasen would have loved one such inning around him

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bro picks up his cap before the dropped ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Danish Kaneria moment for Saim

 

[boomboomcheema]

dumb Saim Ayub more concerned with his cap.

 

[gazza619]

Saim trying a no look catch

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[stani_pak]

Dropped that could have been Afridi 5fer and no Hundred for Klassen

 

[Ahmed216]

A cat has nine lives. Klaasen is that cat

 

[batandballbattle]

not going to matter but come on saimu...

 

[Nasty Naz]

SA is like a starter SENA team. Final boss is Australia

Not in Tests. Over the past 12 years, SA has beat Australia 3 times in 5 Tests series, including twice in Australia.

They're no joke in Tests but have really fallen off in ODI's since ABD/Alma left.

 

[ssuhaide]

not going to matter but come on saimu...

Awful fielder. You dont drop Klassen.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Saim dropped klaasen few overs go too, doesnt look like a serious fielder.

 

[gazza619]

Lets be fair. Klaasen deserved the hundred

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan were 50 runs short thanks to Babar and Rizwan.

 

[imshally81]

Yesss

 

[PakPremi]

Klassan has had unbelievable luck today.

 

[Caved12]

Why, Saim, why? Shaheen deserved a five wicket haul today. Saim should have caught that.

 

[Smbhayi]

Okay there's no hundred for Klassen..

 

[gazza619]

Irfan halaaling his wage for the match

 

[stani_pak]

ZINDAHBAAAD PAKISTAN what a win sorry Klassen no century today, he played outstanding, just do not like opposing centuries vs Pakistan hahaha

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sadly Shaheen 5fer is denied but Pakistan win the match and series. Great to see them win ODI series in both Australia & SA.

 

[Ahmed216]

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

+1

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not in Tests. Over the past 12 years, SA has beat Australia 3 times in 5 Tests series, including twice in Australia.

They're no joke in Tests but have really fallen off in ODI's since ABD/Alma left.

THey have the resources. But for some compromised selections don't make it easy for them. There is no way in any country Bavuma will be in the starting XI let alone captaining the side.

 

[jamie smith]

niazi isnt gonna drop it

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

No one said it was a 400 or 550 pitch

300+ is what posters said when rizwan and babar were playing at 60 strike

People were saying it's 220 pitch

They did. No need to lie for others.

Unless ofc you were one of them

 

[emranabbas]

Big win

Nearly lost the match if it wasn't forthe brilliance of kamran ghulam.

Luckily he has a brain on his head and judged it's a 300+ pitch

 

[mominsaigol]

Sweet victory for Pakistan. Who would have thought they'd beat SA and Aus lol.

Really impressive

 

[gazza619]

Hope we try the bench next game

 

[Mamoon]

@emranabbas @Rana @YousafTheBeast deserve this humiliation.

 

[mango_bite77]

SA missed big partnerships. Congratulations to Pakistan. Rizwan with 3rd series win

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klaasen finishing the match off in typical Klaasen fashion

 

[Rana]

Well played Pakistan

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan were 50 runs short thanks to Babar and Rizwan.

These guys are incurable

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

@emranabbas @Rana @YousafTheBeast deserve this humiliation.

Who said this was a 420 pitch? Which genius was that?

 

[batandballbattle]

Convincing win. Good effort from Klaasen but he had to swing at almost everything with no support.
Good to see the eagle looking more in the hunt. Hope KG can keep up a good SR in this format too, could do with another player who tries to play like Saim does.
Another series win against a big side boosts CT hopes further.

 

[emranabbas]

@emranabbas @Rana @YousafTheBeast deserve this humiliation.

Why do we? We are happy kamran ghulam won this game for pakistan. Were you not the one who said kamran ghulam is a nothing player

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan win by 81 on so called phat ha pitch, well done with batting tactics and good hitting at the back as per Pakistani plan.
Bowlers bowled well and Rizwan captaincy was great including correct DRS taken.
Only criticism was over bowling Agha.

 

[shah9425]

Another series win

Alhumdillah

This is real cricket
