As expected, New Zealand were unable to make an impression on the Pakistan bowlers but will the home-side continue with the same XI or rotate their players for the 2nd game?

Faheem Ashraf out and Ishanullah in? Would that be a good change for this game?
 
I would rest Shaheen for Ihsanullah. There is no need for risking him losing before the WC.

Shaheen needs match practice but he's had enough in the PSL so you are right.
 
Bring Haris and Ihsan in place of Faheem and Shahee.

Haris
Rizwan
Babar
Saim
Fakhar
Ifti
Shadab
Imad
Rauf
Zaman
Ihsan
 
Its just not rotation but important part is balance which must be right. Yesterday if i remember we were 130 for 6...with faheem and imad at 7 and 8 not they did too much but we ended up at 180 odd

Yes but we can also sort the balance out later. It's important we give everyone a good opportunity to see what they can do.

If that means Shaheen bats a couple of games at number 8 it's a sacrifice worth taking in this meaningless bilateral.
 
Keeping Ihsanullah out makes no sense. He must be injured or something.
 
Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat

No changes to Pakistan XI

God.. what is the infatuation with Iftikhar Ahmed? Having him in the side is criminal.

Doubt it, he's been running in hard in the videos the PCB media releases.

We just have to accept our management, captain and think tank aren't the most forward thinking.

He's the poor man's Mo Hafeez and that says something...

Haris with the highest S/R in the current set up doesn't even get a look in....
 
Why no ishanullah this captain has lost his marbles. This isn't a world cup game
Need to experiment here
 
Where to watch this game?

Sky red button option not available
 
Lahore has shown extreme bias as a bat first pitch. In PSL I think 7 out of 8 games at Lahore were won by team batting first.
 
Henry bowling some lovely outswingers and beating the bat.
 
The 2 Henry’s would have sent those 2 hacks Haris & Ayub back to the pavilion by now !
 
Let’s waste 3 overs of the powerplay to get ourselves in
 
Once the ball stopped moving, RizBab started dominating.

Yesterday it was Fakhar and Saim, today the kings are back.
 
The toxicity against babar and rizwan is beyond logic

The toxicity against babar and rizwan is beyond logic here

In tough conditions in UAE we were 35-3 every powerplay.

With two proper openers we saw them navigate the new ball successfully then the shots were brought out.

The result is 59-0.

Babar and Rizwan are the greatest t20 openers in Pakistan's history.
 
Now let’s slow down for our 50s

Leave them alone atleast today , you will have enough opportunities to do this Roz-Bobby Rona Dhona , So just don't spoil your fast. Today gonna be tough for you i know.
 
MashAllah what a start may Allah protect us from evil eye of MisbahulTuktuk defensive mind set of dot balls

No doubt in that. Whenever they make runs pakistan wins and wins comfortably. People need to understand u cant always score runs in t20 while batting on top. Some time u will fail some times you will take time and times you make runs flawlessly
 
Rana G having his worst nightmare, Riz-Bob 76 after 7 overs that too after slowish start, Long may this nightmare continue.
 
There is no need to bring up Afg series in Sharjah where Babar’s own avg is despicable, barring game against Scotts
 
So ir we apply the strike rate over average nonsensical argument,
If both these guys get out now they would have done their jobs and been superb.

Doesn't matter if we end up being all out for 140 odd.

But then some people then brung out the "slow down" before milestones arguments when the players haven't even made 30 runs each.

That is small minded toxicity on a different level
 
Judging performance is not easy in cricket. This is why I hate stats. Each game presents its own challenges. It is the approach that needs to get criticized
 
What exactly is the purpose of rizbar being out there? Saim should be out there gaining expirence confidence and exposure
 
Saim Ayub was on course for a 50 of a similar strike rate but you didn't hear any of this slowing down baqwaas. That's nothing against Ayib btw a supreme talent
 
Good for NZ to keep these two out there for a little longer now
 
Get in about 6-7 more 1 run balls in against Babar before his 50

Get a couple of dots in too. That should be Latham’s plan
 
Well done Fakhar

You don’t need to perform so these two can justify themselves
 
Can we please drop this rubbish fakhar for good. How many more chances does this hack deserve. Get Mohammed Haris in instead of this failed international t20 player. Let him stick to lower form of cricket in psl.
