Pakistan thoroughly deserve the #1 T20I ranking

[ethan hunt]

They have been magnificient in t20s under Sarfraz . Thrashing england , westindies and Srilanka .
Now becoming the first Asian side to win a t20 series in Newzealand . I dont think anyone can begrudge them the honor .

Congratulations on being no.1 in T20's.

Once our batting clicks there is no stopping.
I know its just a T20 series but for an Asian team its some achievement to win in kiwi land.

The boys Truly deserve it.

They showed great character in the T20 series.

Indeed we do. Need some power hitters to stay as number one for a while. Our bowling attack is brilliant!

The funny thing is it was basically a C grade attack

2 of Pakistan's best t20 bowlers didn't play today (Hasan and Imad).

Still a good performance by the rest of the bowlers, Rumman had an off day though.

It's funny how we turn from trundlers and hacks within a few matches. If rumman is a trundler why did he hit 140 kph today? Why is aamir given abuse when the kiwis and rest of the world rate him highly? Pp'ers are dramabaaz

I think it's great that NZ allowed pak to leave their country with some dignity [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] that's the major positive, otherwise this is just fun cricket outside the tournament and no.1 changes every month But congrats regardless, maybe some of the higher ups will get a clue or two about ideal batting order in ODI's as well

Man usually we're spot on with our selections, but man they didn't have a clue for this series. Too many international duds/out of form players being selected and too much respect being given to Kane who shouldn't be playing in the format. He is not dynamic enough and has lost us hell of a lot more matches than he's won for us. He's a complete liability and it's frustrating to watch him kill our chances in chases.

Worst thing is the phainty that England and Aus are going to give to this team =\

I can take defeats, but to lose like this at home is not acceptable.

Our selectors never have a clue lol

Yep, now I know how you feel )

Good thing is it seems the squad hasn't been announced so some players who performed in the T20 Super Smash might get a look in.

Not going to bother with Kane as he'll play. If he was great as he is, he would step aside and know he isn't good enough. He's to blame for Guptill's dismissal and played a big part in our failure today.

After the 2016 WT20 debacle we were ranked 7th in the format.

Now we have climbed to 1st. We are definitely one of the contenders for the next WT20 but we need another powerhitting opener and lower order batsman.

Bench strength is good.
