Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd ODI | Karachi | 3rd May | Pakistan innings

how can they leave wickets in hand knowing very well they dont have any hitters in the whole team. This has been a diabolical innings by us. Defeat coming up
 
Pakistan has a very poor late order.

Nawaz at number 7 is a joke. Should have played imad.
 
rizzy doesnt realise leg side boundaries are big and they have all fielders there. he needs to play offside and as i say he is gone...
 
this was expected when Fakhar and Imam were doing tuk tuk....We were 4 for 0 after 4 overs..........on a flat pitch in karachi
 
The blame lies with imam,rizwan and salman for not accelerating earlier knowing we have batters coming.shaheen and wasim can also tonk a few but balls were wasted in the middle especially by imam

Pitch is not flat.there is uneven bounce and not easy to hit out but yes they couldve been more proactive.
 
Between 10 and 40th over you only got 4 fielders. Acceleration phase has changed since that rule change. England exploited to the full. Others are still not getting there
 
Shadab and Chacha are the closest things we have for a power hitter.

We need more option than Shadab and Chacha they are hit or miss too. Pakistan used to have the likes or razzaq, moin khan, waseem ..those were the day. Im getting old.
 
6 by Shadab to finish the innings...thanks to him, we cross 280...Nawaz, as an ODI batsman does not belong in the team....

Afridi and Azhar Mehmood too...we just don't have that caliber of those hitters these days...
 
A par score. It is not a minefield. NZ should win unless in a typical Karachi late evening, ball starts to swing more. If there is dew, it will make things easier for NZ
 
Imam messed up.he made 90 off 107.Shouldve made 10 more runs atleast in those balls and we wouldve gotten 300 almost which would be decent on this pitch tbh

Under Par score. Still can't understand the innings of Rizwan. If opposition has plan against you , what counter you got? Fielders on leg side and you oblige the opposition by playing ground shots ... i guess thats Rizwan's way showing discontent over number 5...

I remember those days...those guys used to add over 100 in last 10overs. It was something Pakistan was better at than other countries.
 
This batting line up needs some more fire power. Replace salman Ali aga with iftikhar ahmed, nawaz with khusdil shah and haris sohal comes back in place of abdullah shafiq. Chacha khusdil and haris are good enough to do the fifth bowler job.
 
Best odi spinner for pakistan in the 3 years.check his stats and compare to the rest of the options before posting such things.

He is an okay spinner on assisted pitches but this guy is an allrounder and averaging 17 playing at lower order

I disagree with you if you are implying he was doing it on purpose. He couldn't score although he was showing some intent in his strength areas but NZ had him covered. Lots of thinking to do for Pakistan on batting order and finishers.
