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

[Kianig89]

Riz and Bar playing with a plan

 

[jamie smith]

South Africa have a powerful batting line-up current the way Pakistan is going, what score do you think Pak should get here to give there bowlers a chance

270 atleast

 

[Omer2002]

What is this jaroooo cricket..

 

[Mohraheem]

Test match! Tuktuk

 

[Kianig89]

270 will be an ok score, provides our Bowlers did not spray around

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

King scoring, Kaptaana scoring, Pakistan on the verge of whitewashing SA in SA...heartburn @emranabbas @Rana

 

[m.shah]

What is this joker doing

 

[Omer2002]

If rizzy can hit a 6 imagine what saffers will do...

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

What a shot

 

[Dantheone]

I was about to type Rizwan is struggling and he hits a six!

 

[Kianig89]

Nostalgia 90s Odi cricket revived by Pakistan

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

What a shot by Rizwan

 

[Rana]

I was about to type Rizwan is struggling and he hits a six!

He didn’t have a clue what he did tbh

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan on a mission , series to win

 

[MHN1293]

These dot balls are horrible to watch. They hit one six or four in the over and then completely negate its impact by 5 dots

 

[angrypathan]

The six is welcomed, but 5 dot balls off the rest of the over is incredibly frustrating

 

[Local.Dada]

Rizwan wild fire

 

[Rana]

Jansen 2 overs 6 runs upon return

 

[Kianig89]

Haters take that :6

 

[jamie smith]

tulla shot by riz

 

[Kianig89]

Plenty of batting to come just relax

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Another 6 to Kaptaana! Slap in the face of haters! Jansen trundler humbled.

 

[jamie smith]

Haters take that :6

after playing 11 dot balls lolll you are just blind riz fans

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is a certain beauty about ugly players that I personally love. Dean Elgar is the best example that comes to mind for me.

For the record, I don't think Rizwan is that much of an ugly-looking player.

Awkward movements make it an eye sore.

 

[Omer2002]

A bit late now for hitting

 

[jamie smith]

Another 6 to Kaptaana! Slap in the face of haters! Jansen trundler humbled.

he bowled 11 dot balls to him so dont know who is humbled

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Looks like match winning 100s for King and Kaptaana for series win. Massive slap in the face of haters. beautiful day.

 

[Dantheone]

He didn’t have a clue what he did tbh

He has hit another one now.. again no clue?

 

[kingusama92]

Rizwan waking up a bit here.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

tulla shot by riz

If you’re referring to that six, it was actually well timed and well hit. Superbly done

 

[Rana]

Been a long time since we saw this dramey baazi

 

[MHN1293]

Good acceleration from Rizwan, atleast he is trying now

 

[Local.Dada]

If I have to watch an innings with aesthetically pleasing stroke play by an artist- Babar.

If I have to watch a modern day cricket scientist creating beautiful magic with a scientific approach- Rizwan

 

[Kianig89]

17 dots in last 5 overs, very high ratio

 

[Rana]

He has hit another one now.. again no clue?

He was in control of that tbf

 

[heddie19]

6 6 6 rizzy boy

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan about to cross his 50

 

[Human786]

147/2 in 30 is game over - 280+ will be the likely score

 

[Mrjungshook]

1 fifty
7 celebrations
Bhai saab kisi din 200 kardiya toh?

 

[angrypathan]

Babar against left arm spin is so painful to watch

 

[jamie smith]

Another 6 to Kaptaana! Slap in the face of haters! Jansen trundler humbled.

jansen isnt a trundler. he bowls 145+

 

[Kianig89]

Dealing x 6s

 

[Rana]

Pollock was saying SA chose to bowl first because they have a weak bowling attack.

Well their batters better get these runs if they are supposedly batting heavy

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Kaptaana dealing in 6s! Haters in absolute ruins. Kane and Undertaker destroying SA at the moment. In tears. Come on!

 

[Local.Dada]

Pollock was saying SA chose to bowl first because they have a weak bowling attack.

Well their batters better get these runs if they are supposedly batting heavy

275 is a good score for this SA b team. Intelligent and scientific approach.

 

[jamie smith]

riz gaining momentum and trusting the process

 

[Kianig89]

Double the score after 30 , 290+

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Twin hundreds in series win incoming for brothers of destruction. King and Kaptaana!

 

[Kianig89]

Would be great if we win this game

 

[Local.Dada]

Double the score after 30 , 290+

in the 90’s that was formula: now it is minimum 200 runs in the last 20

 

[jamie smith]

can riz hit a six

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Awkward movements make it an eye sore.

To each their own

 

[Kianig89]

Sachin Ganguly

Jayasuriya Aravinda

Sanga Mahela

Babar Rizwan

 

[adi_62941]

Anything less than 320 will be easily chaseable. Nothing for bowlers in the pitch

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Rana @emranabbas every 6 from Rizwan and every run from Babar must feel like a slap. You have been humbled. Never doubt our King and kaptaana again!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can they get 150 in the last 20?

 

[shah9425]

Amazing fifty for Kaptaana

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Sachin Ganguly

Jayasuriya Aravinda

Sanga Mahela

Babar Rizwan

Well said.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anything less than 320 will be easily chaseable. Nothing for bowlers in the pitch

They won't get more than 280 if they're lucky unless they're not losing wickets then maybe 300.

 

[jamie smith]

your kaptaana just wasted a free hit from so called trundler jansen

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Amazing fifty for Kaptaana

Slapped the haters!

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

your kaptaana just wasted a free hit from so called trundler jansen

Better than your Rohit Sharma who can't buy a run in Aus these days.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good batting so far.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Masterclass from Brothers of Destruction dedicated to @Rana @emranabbas Maza aaia?

 

[jamie smith]

if

Slapped the haters!

he plays well nobody will criticize him. he still shouldve scored at 100 sr on this pitch

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Pigwan with another fluke 50. Another game I do not care about anymore

Sarfaraz can only dream of a 50 in SA. Worst keeper to play for Pakistan.

 

[MHN1293]

Pigwan with another fluke 50. Another game I do not care about anymore

So you would have cared if he got out on a 55 ball 35 but now that he is accelerating for the team you do not care

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can they not keep the ball outside the off stump to curtail his leg side game?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This has developed into an excellent partnership. This is why I don't mind a RR of 4.5 in ODIs early in the innings, as long as you get the measure of the pitch and accelerate later.

The end justifies the means.

 

[jamie smith]

Masterclass from Brothers of Destruction dedicated to @Rana @emranabbas Maza aaia?

when sa chases the target down in 40 overs u will be humbled for sure

 

[sweep_shot]

Saeed Anwar has 20 centuries. Babar has 19. Opportunity for him to reach Saeed Anwar's tally today.

 

[Rana]

Standard batting

Looks like a 350 wicket

 

[adi_62941]

Pak batters have a fixed runrate of 5 set in their minds by default from last century

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Sarfaraz can only dream of a 50 in SA. Worst keeper to play for Pakistan.

Meanwhile pathetic Rizwan can only dream to win a single icc trophy for Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is very rare they play LOIs at Newlands these days.

 

[pratiktc]

Babar Rizwan have setup platform similar to what they did in WC 2023 game against India.

Onus on them now to not throw it away and go past 300. This time the middle order is also more experienced and better so Pak is well placed

 

[Nikhil_cric]

D/N matches here heavily favour teams batting first 24:9 I think. Also they have 4 changes in what could be a series decider ?

Bilateral ODIs have zero importance now don't they ?

Haysman just mentioned that only 9 D/N games have been won by team batting second.

Very questionable decision by Bavuma

 

[stani_pak]

270 atleast

Thanks...hopefully they can get more than that

 

[jnaveen1980]

So SA bowlers are unfit. Coetze, Maharaj, Nortje. How will they prepare for CT?

 

[stani_pak]

Saeed Anwar has 20 centuries. Babar has 19. Opportunity for him to reach Saeed Anwar's tally today.

Has about 30 more runs to go
