Pakistan defeat New Zealand by 4 wickets to win the 3rd T20I; NZ win series 2-1

[MenInG]

So pride to play for -

NZ 173/7 (20) CRR: 8.65

Can they do it?

 

[Shaddy86]

Expect a lot of slower deliveries.

 

[watson367]

Rizwan opening again...

 

[Baigel]

Expect a lot of slower deliveries.

Remember the last time that happened? Eng v Pak ‘16

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan playing football.

 

[watson367]

Rizwan the footballer.

 

[watson367]

Hes already got an alternate career.

 

[watson367]

kamaal shot

 

[Baigel]

The All blacks just look like cricketers. Our guys don’t have that intimidation factor or presence on the field

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan the footballer.

He's awful to watch.

Embarrassing to see him bat as a PAK fan.

 

[Rana]

Test cricket in coloured clothing

 

[ARK Rafay]

3 tuks and a punch. That's the way he plays

 

[Jeetlodil]

In 3 overs Rizwan has played quite a few ball games including football and tennis

 

[watson367]

just defend . Dont give away your wicket.

 

[watson367]

is shadab coming one down?

 

[shah_1]

He has hit two boundaries and still has a SR of 100

 

[Jeetlodil]

single on the 4th ball

 

[Omer2002]

Y cant we find a seifert or somebody

 

[Green Patriot]

Shadab padded up? He is coming one down? No way lol.

 

[Ucdkee]

Amazing how he has been able to reach the international level with his skills and abilities

 

[ARK Rafay]

He has hit two boundaries and still has a SR of 100

Now below 100

 

[Rana]

Good plan

Play out Southee otherwise he will become Saudi Arabia

 

[shah_1]

He has hit two boundaries and still has a SR of 100

Sorry 1 boundary

 

[watson367]

Y cant we find a seifert or somebody

because our system is in shambles.

 

[Jeetlodil]

what a solid defence by Gilly Rizwan

 

[shah_1]

Less than 100 SR

 

[Rana]

Shadab padded up? He is coming one down? No way lol.

Imran Khan

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shadab padded up? He is coming one down? No way lol.

We are playing an extra batsman today too.

 

[Rana]

Guptil doing a Hussain Talat

 

[ARK Rafay]

Will be interesting to see how Haider plays swing of Boult

 

[watson367]

Universe Boss Hafeez will chase this total down. No need to panic.

 

[Jeetlodil]

seriously. its the junoon

 

[waleed88]

Rizwan averaging 2 overs of dot balls in power plays, headed on that trajectory again. I haven't seen a worse opening batsman in T20's since Salman Butt and Khurram Manzoor

 

[JibranAnsari]

so depressing to see rizwan bat in t20s

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Good intent by haider to expose legend rizwan

 

[Rana]

How was that not a wide?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Isn't that a wide? So much biased umpiring

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rizwan is not it. I think we have seen enough, even as an opener. So if he plays he bats at 7-8. There is nowhere else to bat him.

 

[Kroll]

rizwan will be wanting to maintain his 97 sr no doubt

 

[Ozeirk]

Universe Boss Hafeez will chase this total down. No need to panic.

Don't count on Hafeez to give you two good performances in a row

 

[Ucdkee]

Can I apply for Pakistan's wicket keeper position? I can play much worse than this guy if it's about selecting the worst player

OMG

Salman Butt was GOAT in the 2010 T20 world cup

 

[watson367]

biased umpires.

 

[Rana]

rizwan will be wanting to maintain his 97 sr no doubt

It’s there

 

[watson367]

Haider plz stay on my boy.

 

[waleed88]

OMG

Salman Butt was GOAT in the 2010 T20 world cup

GOAT can never be used for S. Butt, I remember the timid chase against NZ where he batted till the end but we lost

 

[Kroll]

haider 'i dont want to play a few balls and get out' needs to bang a few

 

[Rana]

You can see this boy has a lot of talent MashaAllah

 

[watson367]

GOAT can never be used for S. Butt, I remember the timid chase against NZ where he batted till the end but we lost

yeah i remember that game as if it was yesterday.

 

[Rana]

Try something Gilchrist

 

[watson367]

straight drive

 

[Jeetlodil]

amazing defence by Rizwan.

 

[Kroll]

lovely straight drive

 

[Rana]

Top shot

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

You can see this boy has a lot of talent MashaAllah

Please don't mention rizwan

 

[Bewal Express]

After all the huffing and puffing Riz can still barely get a SR of 100

 

[Rana]

Seifert would be on 30 by now

 

[JibranAnsari]

nice test batting by the two

 

[sindhiboy]

King rizwan

 

[Ucdkee]

Rock solid!

 

[Rana]

Please don't mention rizwan ��

Yeah he is the best wicket keeper in the world apparently...

 

[JibranAnsari]

again old ideas by younis khan , there is no room for contrasting players in t20 cricket these days

 

[waleed88]

DEAD RUBBERS DON't MEAN ANYTHING

 

[shah_1]

Yk )

 

[Ucdkee]

Rizwan has done his bit in this game...maybe a few more deliveries to block...that's it!

 

[Energy]

Man, Younis on the mic is poetry.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Younis was asked about the pitch but kept on talking about player rotation

 

[waleed88]

If Rizwan performs in this dead rubber its a sure sign that he bucks up under pressure.

 

[watson367]

Rizwan with another one.

 

[mrtaim3]

Playing sensibly.

 

[watson367]

good start

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Sharam a ge isy

 

[Kroll]

again old ideas by younis khan , there is no room for contrasting players in t20 cricket these days

yeah younis bhai saying need to conserve wickets during power play lol - theres only 20 overs man, t20 isnt a format for conserving wickets

 

[Shaddy86]

Had to immediately take my headphones off as soon as Younis started talking. It's so cringey having to listen to Pakistani players/coaches. Not because of their English but their lack of understanding the questions. They seem to have this premeditated speach regardless of their question they'll go with whatever they've already decided to say.

 

[Rana]

What a bang average bowler

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Luv moden tactics by younis tusi great o pa g

 

[watson367]

Rizwan in the mood today

 

[Baigel]

again old ideas by younis khan , there is no room for contrasting players in t20 cricket these days

What’d he say? Couldn’t hear him

 

[sindhiboy]

Rizwan on fire
