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

[Rana]

How many dots?

 

[Kroll]

this jamieson guy is huge

 

[Ucdkee]

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

Did he really say that?

 

[ARK Rafay]

What are these comms on about? Rizwan will hit a boundary but after sucking up 3 dot balls. Not a cut for T20

 

[JibranAnsari]

dot galore

 

[waleed88]

Rizwan king of dot balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dotwan

 

[Azzurri]

That was an awful attempt from younis khan. Come on mate atleast understand the question.

 

[sindhiboy]

Good come back despite 4

 

[Rana]

That 97 strike rate

It’s where the trouble all started

That 97 strike rate

 

[shah_1]

This is a problem with Rizwan, plays too many ****ing dot balls

 

[mrtaim3]

These dots are annoying. Rotate the strike fgs

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imagine if we had taken 3 singles in this over including the 2 boundaries

 

[Kroll]

Did he really say that?

yep, just played it back to make sure i wasn't hearing things lol

 

[uberkoen]

Too many dots. Nonetheless, not a bad start from the boys here. Rizwan needs to go on and score big after all these dots and not lose his wicket cheaply

 

[Omer Baloch]

A boundary after 4 dots won't help.

 

[sindhiboy]

What a bang average bowler

As I said before wait until the 26th.

 

[watson367]

4 to end

 

[mrtaim3]

You can never be a good batsmen if you don’t know how to rotate strike.

 

[Aman]

A lot of boundaries but its the balls in between which are hurting Pakistan.

Should be ticking it over and getting singles.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan has played 11 dot balls so far. Awful

 

[Shaddy86]

A boundary after 4 dots won't help.

What helps, another dot or a single?

 

[waleed88]

'Rizwan has panicked, has played a rash shot.' It's clear Rizwan mentally collapses under pressure, he is a mental midget. It's clear why he fails consistently at the International level despite being a rock in T20s in the domestic circuit. His knock in this dead rubber shows that pressure makes him a worse batsman.

This dead rubber knock will be detrimental for Pakistan in the long run

 

[ARK Rafay]

You can never be a good batsmen if you don’t know how to rotate strike.

Not a cut for T20 Cricket. But a good batsman in ODIs and Test Cricket

 

[Azzurri]

Rizwan isn’t cut for T20s. But the management is certainly clueless when it comes to modern cricket

 

[Rana]

That was creamed!

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Less dot balls that makes babar great

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Guptill would’ve caught that 9/10 times. Not at his best on the field in this series

 

[Hawkeye]

Haider Hayden. Gone, as expected.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan isn’t cut for T20s. But the management is certainly clueless when it comes to modern cricket

They are stubborn more than clueless

“Humain pata hai cricket kaise kheli jati hai”!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Another brainless shot by Haider. He has the talent but has to learn a lot before he can make a real impact in international Cricket

 

[watson367]

what a catch. haider goes.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Disappointing series from Haider but he’ll come good

 

[Shams123]

Haider opens up at every ball. He needs to stay side on. Hopefully he will learn from this tough experience.

 

[Aman]

Stunning catch.

 

[watson367]

short ball troubling our batsmen, whats new?

 

[EngrOmair]

Haider fails again!.... Stunning Catch from the Sub

 

[naseem]

Haider thoda smhal k khhelo

 

[Jeetlodil]

In walks Hafeez Ponting

 

[Rana]

Haider Ali still a gun bat!

Would take him over a billion Rizwan, Shafiq and Khushdils

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan 29 from 23 is not cut for T20. Brainless Haider is wah wah

 

[watson367]

Rizwan needs to play the anchor role.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Looks like the dew is haunting the Kiwi bowlers. Batting has become easy, Pak should win this one.

 

[saeedhk]

Gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

haider ali isnt ready.

 

[Ucdkee]

What a catch!

 

[watson367]

Universe Boss in.

 

[Kroll]

prof needs to school these gully mohalla bowlers

 

[Usman Chadda]

Haider had no idea how to play on these pitches. All three dismissals in this series were awful to say the least.

 

[Darkrai]

Haider getting out the same way again.

 

[sindhiboy]

What a catch. Was a bit disappointed as I expected some fireworks from haider

 

[waleed88]

Rizwan 29 from 23 is not cut for T20. Brainless Haider is wah wah

Rizwan has been playing for a very long time, and is a domestic giant in t20. He made his debut in 2015.

 

[Green Patriot]

We are playing an extra batsman today too.

Who? Youngsta beauty, Ifti?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

This right here is the match. Come on Hafeez, one more innings please!

 

[Kroll]

edit: prof has started his lessons

 

[volcyz]

Hafeez amazing hitting

 

[Energy]

The way Haider and Shafique have been squared this series says a lot about the calibre of youngsters coming through. If the management think they are ready for International status then they're just making them a scapegoat for every series loss. Very disappointing from both these batsmen.

 

[EngrOmair]

Sir Hafeez!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haider Ali still a gun bat!

Would take him over a billion Rizwan, Shafiq and Khushdils

not ready for international chanllenge yet

 

[Rana]

Another bang average bowler

Reminds me of the days of Chris Martin and Tuffey

 

[watson367]

boss with a 6

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez is on something these days

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan batsmen still have not learned how to take singles in two decades. This has been the main problem for our woes in the last 20 years.

 

[Hawkeye]

King Hafeez.

OUR ONLY SAVIOR!!!!!

If he stays, we'll WIN.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

We're really missing Babar here... perfect for chasing this total against this attack

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan is playing with one batsman.

 

[Shams123]

Hopefully hafeez can carry this form through out 2021

 

[uberkoen]

Hafeez looks so well set

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is on something these days

golf

 

[Ozeirk]

I will be glad if Hafeez does well but the track record suggests he rarely comes off twice jna row.

 

[Rana]

Well at least we haven’t lost 5 wickets in the power play

 

[Rana]

Ish Sodhi the destroyer

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Hafeez is showing he still has some way to go before calling it a today.. some player he is!!

 

[AAli98]

Pak going to make another average cricketer this Freddy Kruegger guy into a superstar..

 

[Rana]

Watch how non of our bats won’t pick Sodhi’s wrongun throughput

 

[JibranAnsari]

waise babar ke bhi aksar itne hee runs hote hen itni balls pe

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why is Rizwan defending? Just knock the ball for singles

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Ish Sodhi the destroyer

Nah, he will be dealt with harshly today my gut says..

 

[watson367]

Why is Rizwan defending? Just knock the ball for singles

the misbah effect.

 

[uberkoen]

waise babar ke bhi aksar itne hee runs hote hen itni balls pe

Ache Jee?
