Pakistan v New Zealand | 4th ODI | Karachi | 5th May, 2023 | Pakistan innings

[reversehook]

#4 specialist ki century ho gai? my eye sight is a lil weak ... cake kaatun?

 

[Galla]

Why salman agha is preferred up in batting order instead of iftikhar is beyond logic

They see iftikhar as a finisher.Not hard to find that logic.whether you agree with that or not is something different.

 

[Rana]

Neesham is such a halwa bowler! Faheem Ashraf of New Zealand

 

[imshally81]

At least 300+ needed today

 

[heddie19]

Why salman agha is preferred up in batting order instead of iftikhar is beyond logic

Iftikhar playing as a hitter. Agha rotates the strike batter. Right decision IMO.

 

[Rana]

Babar averages 114 against Zimbabwe...

 

[reversehook]

babar needs to speed up and play for the team, not for his 100...

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary

 

[adi_62941]

Iftikhar playing as a hitter. Agha rotates the strike batter. Right decision IMO.

The only real reason is can see is that they think agha is a permanent member for ODI team and will surely be going to India for WC so they wanted to test his batting up the order

 

[emranabbas]

Need to shift up a few gears after 35th over

 

[Marooned]

Salman is effortless vs Spin. Important criteria for India.

 

[msb314]

Big opportunity for Babar to make 150+

 

[Marooned]

Big opportunity for Babar to make 150+

He needs to grab these opportunities, but I'm 99% certain he won't even score 100 here.

 

[msb314]

Babar needs to get a move on - still batting at a SR of 80

 

[shah_1]

Babar Milestone Azam mode is on

 

[Zeshan547]

What is Bobby doing, it can be deadly in an important match , here it.may not matter, No matter how good you are but this blatant selfishness gonna cost you and team no matter what.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar is such a liability in the last 15 overs.

 

[adi_62941]

This is not 400 pitch for sure. 300 or maybe 320 will easily win you a match

 

[JibranAnsari]

When his century is on the line babar doesnt care what the team requires.

 

[Caved12]

Agha seems to be a solid all rounder for odis.

 

[Caved12]

50 for Agha

 

[Fazzy321]

This boy Agha is gooddd. What a player of spin

 

[Galla]

Salman outbatting babar in this partnership

 

[Fazzy321]

The bails aren’t on can’t be out surely?

 

[Suleiman]

No no no no please no. Why did Shan score today? Not again.

Another one of his dead rubber performances that will keep him in the team for another 10 years.

We have a million openers now, and this is the guy they use to give a freebie dead rubber to? Babar, management and whoever is getting hand outs from his dad, have some shame.

 

[imshally81]

Finally Salman gone...

 

[Caved12]

Inshallah century coming for Salman

 

[Caved12]

oh no Salman gone

 

[Snowflake]

Stylish drives, timed flicks... all along the ground.

Shots played in the 43rd over. Only by Babar.... only in Pakistan )

 

[Snowflake]

I have never seen a team so scared of losing wickets as this PCT.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Extremely selfish stuff by babar.

 

[msb314]

Iftikhar is garbage

 

[shah_1]

Babar Azam is one of the most selfish cricketer ever

 

[Snowflake]

A team and a nation obsessed with stats.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Partnership of 12 in 18 balls in last 10 overs. Lol

 

[Galla]

Has chacha lost it or what?what is he trying to do here.6 wickets in hand and he is getting himself in

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar Azam is one of the most selfish cricketer ever

This thing alone can cost us WC matches and trophy.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Salman Ali is the perfect no 5.

 

[Snowflake]

Has chacha lost it or out?what is he trying to do here.6 wickets in hand and he is getting himself in

Haven't we seen this all the time with him? He plays one good innings (that too usually in a losing cause) and all is forgotten.

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar ka tu smjh aata hai , Chacha q nai maar raha ???

 

[Mrhandsome]

Iftikar should get a move on here.

 

[Snowflake]

Babar ka tu smjh aata hai , Chacha q nai maar raha ???

Kyun samajh aata hai? Because he has a century to get to?

 

[shah_1]

Selfish babar

 

[heddie19]

Babar Azam is one of the most selfish cricketer ever

It is fine to be selfish if you're the best batsman in the world.

 

[Zeshan547]

Bobby Yar nai chahiye aisi centuries and records hmein , Koi sharam koi haya.

 

[Snowflake]

Iftikar should get a move on here.

and Babar should get a free pass as he has a century to make )

 

[shah_1]

Clown babar

 

[Snowflake]

It is fine to be selfish if you're the best batsman in the world.

huh?

 

[shah_1]

It is fine to be selfish if you're the best batsman in the world.

No he is not

 

[imshally81]

Finally a good shot by Iftikhar

 

[Snowflake]

Oh man! I am paying hard he doesn't get this century

 

[ZaidTR]

Ifthikar misbah 2.0 … y’all wanted him in odi … look at him now

 

[Mrhandsome]

Much needed boundary

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hipe he gets out at 99. Dowsnt deserve a 100 like this

 

[shah_1]

Embarrassing

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

A nation that doesn't have any batter who had score 15+ centuries in last 2 decades are complaining about Babar being slow. What an irony!

 

[imshally81]

Another boundary by ifti Chacha

 

[Fazzy321]

Wrist slitters are out in full swing

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries by Ifti

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Get to the 100 quickly Babar. Want to see some acceleration.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Iftikar is dangerous against trundlers.

 

[Plumb]

this ODI approach will cost pakistan big time... Not scoring runs in powerplay is just not acceptable

 

[Mrhandsome]

A firing Iftikar , Salman and Harris in the same 11 would be wonderful for the world cup

 

[imshally81]

3rd one in a over.... What a shot...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar hasnt scored a boundary in 25 balls.

 

[Marooned]

Chacha 44444

 

[Marooned]

Iftikar is dangerous against trundlers.

When on song, he murders express pace too.

 

[imshally81]

5th boundary by Iftikhar

 

[BunnyRabbit]

The only guy who would accelerate in 90s was Younis(in Pak), ABD would seamlessly take doubles and hit boundaries in 90s as well.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Haris Sohail
Salman
Iftikar
Mohammad Haris(wk)
Shadab
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf

would be perfect for the world cup

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

The only guy who would accelerate in 90s was Younis(in Pak), ABD would seamlessly take doubles and hit boundaries in 90s as well.

No boundary from babar 75 onwards

 

[imshally81]

100 for Babar too... No one is celebrating here at PP?

 

[Rana]

Babar taking singles in the death overs

Well batted for a hundred I guess

 

[NeVerMind]

100 for Babar too... No one celebrating here at PP?

Doesn't look like it...can't justify the slow down

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar should open so he is done with his 100 within first 40 overs and can score in the rest.

 

[Caved12]

I think it was Mickey who dropped Chacha for this odi series and then Babar brought him back after Haris’s injury. Just thinking out loud

 

[ZaidTR]

Don’t ever bring this Ifthikar at this number! Waste of overs!

 

[imshally81]

Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Haris Sohail
Salman
Iftikar
Mohammad Haris(wk)
Shadab
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf

would be perfect for the world cup

Just replace Harris with Rizwan and you are good to go...

 

[ZaidTR]

5th boundary by Iftikhar
