Pakistan chase down 163 to defeat Zimbabwe in Tri-Series and set up final clash against Australia

[Arham_PakFan]

Can we chase this target of 163?

 

[Mainul]

The no 1 side should do it easily.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

we better not struggle!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The number 1 side should have restricted this Zimbabwe side to less than what India restricted England to yesterday. So a little disappointing in that regard. But surely they can win without any hiccups now.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

130 all out, hopefully I’m wrong

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good start by Pakistan in the runchase.

13-0 after the first over.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Harris sohail showing good intent to attack the ball

 

[Zeshan547]

will we ever show some real intent, not even vs this D grade team,??? This team and management is Shameless.

 

[Rayyman]

What a magnificent shot from Harris

 

[NeVerMind]

will we ever show some real intent, not even vs this D grade team,??? This team and management is Shameless.

average of 10 runs in the first 2 overs does not show intent?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

13 runs off the the over.

Pakistan off to a rapid start,especially Fakhar.

 

[NeVerMind]

Only another 6 and 4 from Fakhar...can we please show some intent?!!

 

[Mainul]

I don't find any reason of bowling an ordinary left arm spinner against two quality left arm bats.

 

[NeVerMind]

run rate a measly 11 runs per over!

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=5706]NeVerMind[/MENTION] Good start but both batsman should attack and we should chase this down in 15 overs.

 

[Zeshan547]

We should practice for tommarow match where Batting 1st or 2nd we will have to score 200,, Farhan should be in for Talat and Shinwari for Nawaz.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

50 partnership for the first wicket in 5 overs.

Haris has just had 11 runs out of those 50.

 

[Sirris]

Now this is what I call an interesting match.

Time to see what we are all about. I will be extremely disappointed if we can't chase a 150+ score against the likes of Zimbabwe.

 

[Shafi]

Haris is not suit for T20. Pathetic for Inzi

 

[Rayyman]

I love Haris batting my fav in Pakistan

 

[Sirris]

50 partnership for the first wicket in 5 overs.

Haris has just had 11 runs out of those 50.

I don't know how they come with an idea that Harris is a good choice as a t20 opener. Perhaps his poor stamina was the benchmark since t20s don't require long innings.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Haris Sohail ahead of Farhan in T20’s is like Zaman replacing Azhar in tests!

 

[Sirris]

I love Haris batting my fav in Pakistan

Only in ODIs where he should work on playing longer innings.

 

[Sirris]

Haris Sohail ahead of Farhan in T20’s is like Zaman replacing Azhar in tests!

LOL Zaman replacing Azhar in test isn't a bad move in my view.

 

[Rayyman]

Haris Sohail ahead of Farhan in T20’s is like Zaman replacing Azhar in tests!

Don't worry just needed someone over Hafeez

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Haris Sohail is out caught for 16

 

[Sirris]

130 all out, hopefully I’m wrong

Since we don't have the likes of Shehzad, Akmal and Hafeez in the line up so I am optimistic about it.

 

[Khan12]

There was no need for that haris.

 

[Markhor]

Haris seems a stop gap until Babar returns.

 

[Shafi]

Next match king Hafeez will be back!!!! Typical politics

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't even score at the RRR.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies would have been 100 by now.

 

[Rayyman]

Mah boi Talat going awfffff

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't even score at the RRR.

Good that they heard it.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Talat playing well. Aggressive & no pre mediated shots

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan at 85/1 in 10 overs.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Fakhar is the kind of player that can go from 40 off 19 to 45 off 35

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar is out now.

That man Mire again.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Fakhar was struggling in the latter part of the innings.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Fakhar is out now.

That man Mire again.

Pakistan in the Mire now

 

[Shafi]

so much tuk tuk???? We can never win by playing like this against big teams

 

[YousafTheBeast]

2-3 quiet overs needed for zim

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar always throws it away.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ton up for Pakistan in 13.1 overs.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

How’s that a wide

 

[pratiktc]

Only question is whether Pak will win in 18th over or 19th.
Sarfaraz+Malik+Asif middle order will not have any problems chasing even 11-12 per over against this weak Zim attack for 4-5 over period

 

[hadi123]

What are Pakistan doing? We need boundaries

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Huuuuge....four from sarfraz

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Talat has hit only one six yet he is going at a SR of 137.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good shot by Sarfaraz for a boundary.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

9 runs off the last over.

Pakistan require 32 off the last 4 overs.

 

[Mainul]

Tight finish.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Sarfraz needs to chill

 

[Shafi]

Apart from Fakhar and Asif (hit and miss) we don't have any power hitter.

 

[Mainul]

One or two wickets....

 

[ethan hunt]

Not a single good shot from Talat so far in this knock .
Very underwhelming .

 

[Khan12]

Sarfraz mouthing off as usual. Someone needs to put him in his place.

 

[Shafi]

Seeing our pathetic performance I got the feeling Australia will hammer us tomorrow even bigger margin

 

[Mainul]

Muzarabani looks good

 

[arehaan]

This is hopeless batting by Pak

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not a single good shot from Talat so far in this knock .
Very underwhelming .

Looks as though you haven’t watched the innings then.

 

[arehaan]

Talat seems to be badly out of touch

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Too many wides by the Zimbabwean bowlers.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Gonnnneee

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Talat is out now!!Bad shot.

 

[Shafi]

Talat tailender out!!!

 

[Mainul]

Mpufu is suffering from malnutrition and bechara is a pace bowler.Just leave him

 

[hadi123]

Been really frustrating to watch. Very few boundaries.

 

[Dios]

Come on Zimbabwe!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Malik on the crease and hits a four first ball,as easy as anything.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

C’mon Malik, need some entertainment

 

[Mainul]

That's why Malik is great

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Zimbabwe needed 180-185 and it would have been anyone's game.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Malik has settled some nerves here.

 

[Mainul]

Australia will win again against this Pak side.

 

[Mainul]

Malik should bat at no 3

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Malik should bat at no 3

So he can give catching practice to the keeper?

 

[Oligochaetes]

Captains innings from Sarfaraz. Whadda playa!

 

[Rayyman]

Been really frustrating to watch. Very few boundaries.

Maybe you should go watch IPL highlights or something. He won the game without boundaries which is even more impressive.

I'm sorry but taking 19 overs to chase down 162 against Zimbabwe is anything but "impressive".
