Pakistan v South Africa | 2nd T20I | Lahore | February 13, 2021 | Pakistan Innings

[Prince of Pakistan]

He's more than a useful new ball bowler in the right conditions.

He can be yea.

But I believe guys like Hammad Azam, Amir Yamin will always rely on their batting to survive at the highest level.

 

[Rana]

shot chacha

 

[AAli98]

Poor players. Have been given a chance and fail repeatedly... Rizwan (equivalent to Ben foakes) is main man in all formats-sad state of affairs...

 

[Heisenberg111]

Pak badly missing Hafeez here.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Poeple here always complaining, i mean come on it's T20, 2 overs can change the whole game suddenly.

 

[shah_1]

What our fans need to realize is that players dont get developed by playing 10-15 T20 internationals. It takes time to develop players.

I don't see any talent in Talat. I rarely seen him play conventional shots convincingly against fast bowlers

 

[imshally81]

We should have Nauman Ali in XI instead of Nawaz

 

[Rana]

I hate Misbah's mentality... He never ever change the winning combination.. .
Sometime you need to kick out the weak link..

LOL the weak link currently is Babar

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Smuts is such a forced bowler. His quicker one looks to be a throw rather than a delivery.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Anything less than 170 and its game over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

for gods sake , take some risk. Its a t20 match , people want to see sixes.

 

[shamaan]

LOL the weak link currently is Babar

Yeah based upon a couple innings.

 

[Titan24]

Smuts would have been dispatched by Hafeez and Malik pretty easily. Biggest worry is that almost none of the young guys cant easily take the spinner straight down the ground by using their feel.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan has the most boring batting.

 

[MHN1293]

You never know with ifti the finisher still there.

Keiron ifti russel, remember the name.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pak badly missing Hafeez here.

Hafeez would have destroyed these bowlers with his 'golf swings'.

 

[imshally81]

Good to see that ground staff wear uniforms..

 

[Shafi]

Next match Misbah may Sarfraz which can be even worse.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Yeah he's too busy with social media these days.

People want Hafeez out of the team, when we really have no replacement for him

 

[imranraf]

Even with the dews, our run rate is 6.7. If not for Rizwan, we would be in trouble

 

[ARK Rafay]

The biggest disappoinment so far in the T20I team is Khushdil. He hasn't even shown the amount of sixes Asif Ali hit when he was being criticized.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Ifti Chacha is 90 SR batsman, perfect for T20,lol

 

[AAli98]

How on earth does iffy ifhty get in the team!!! Ind had better run rate during test match than Pak in 20/20...

 

[DeadBall]

10.3 overs and commie saying 6-7 overs to go.

 

[JibranAnsari]

what a terrible partnership

 

[Saj]

Uninspiring batting so far.

Mediocre shot selection to say the least.

 

[Titan24]

Pak wins 85% of the matches when they score over 150 as per commies

 

[PakPremi]

Pak must bowl Iftikhar as only spin bowling will control the run rate. SA hv goodish batting line up with Malan, Hendrick, Klaasen, Miller and even Phelko is useful.
Pak team looks poor without Hafeez, Shadab, Imad and Hasan Ali/Mohd Amir,eapecially when they select Ifti and Nawaz.

 

[imshally81]

With the current performance... 2-1 on the card..

 

[MHN1293]

Pak wins 85% of the matches when they score over 150 as per commies

They used to when we had a decent attack. The days of gul,ajmal,afridi.

 

[Titan24]

10.3 overs and commie saying 6-7 overs to go.

They were talking about being in a decent position when there are 6-7 overs left to go all out considering the depth

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[Tabishbeigh]

Talat , ifti , khushdil not the middle order which is going to win you games. Someone who cant play shots in the V isn’t a good batsman. Asif Ali is a much better batsman, by Pakistani standards. There is that guy Rizwan,, left handed, he seems a better choice. But then I’m neither Misbah , nor babar azam, I’m just a fan who feels like breaking his idiot box watching idiots at play.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Ifti chacha in full flow now, Be very afraid now SA,lol

 

[Titan24]

They used to when we had a decent attack. The days of gul,ajmal,afridi.

Yes that could have contributed mainly but I think even post that for sometime Pak was decent at defending when they were no 1.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ifti has enough power that I believe in this current XI. He can only hit 6 sixes in an over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

partnership going nowhere , rizwan needs to change gears now.

 

[Rana]

Stuurman is sooooo bad

This is Zimbabwe level

 

[PakPremi]

Pak batting turning from Babar or Bust to Rizwan or Rot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

92mph

 

[imshally81]

Ifti has enough power that I believe in this current XI. He can only hit 6 sixes in an over.

Oh really?

 

[MHN1293]

Rizwan last 14 balls 10 runs.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Stuurman is sooooo bad

This is Zimbabwe level

92 MPH, damn.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Struuman bowling some serious pace, here.

 

[MRSN]

"yorker to end the over" with two balls still left..lol at classic Ramiz

 

[imshally81]

66666

 

[DeadBall]

Looks like according to Rameez 3 balls constitutes an over.

 

[Titan24]

Iftikhar needs to deliver. I am ok with early 20s and mid 20s batsmen trying to find their feet but at an age of 30 odd, you need to start delivering to remain in the team. He deserved the selection but, its high time for him to deliver as well

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wide
We need more wides.

 

[Shafi]

Ifti already sealed his place with his 18 runs.

 

[Heisenberg111]

Rizwan takes Struuman to cleaners.

 

[Rana]

92 mph!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should aim for 170 here

 

[imshally81]

14 runs in last over

 

[DeadBall]

Rizzu beast mode started.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Rizwan has set loose now. Can't wait for another 100

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This should be a win today for SA

Nicely set up for a decider tomorrow.

 

[Rana]

Stuurman is the South African Shinwari

 

[ARK Rafay]

Oh really?

I think he's just shy. In the right conditions he will deliver it.

 

[Titan24]

"yorker to end the over" with two balls still left..lol at classic Ramiz

Ramiz keeps the entertainment quotient high with such gems.

 

[Energy]

Watching our batsmen slog is also a torture because it doesn't look convincing. Yes it's coming off but SA inexperienced bowlers have bowled a lot of lose deliveries.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan has set loose now. Can't wait for another 100

Let him first get to 50

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rizwan has set loose now. Can't wait for another 100

ifi

 

[Titan24]

This should be a win today for SA

Nicely set up for a decider tomorrow.

That would mean not much opportunities for bench.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan has shut all competion here , he is in great form

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan looking too desperate yet nothing coming off for them

 

[ARK Rafay]

Smuts who is not even a full time bowler is going under 6 runs in an over and is bowling his full quota.

This is just ridiculous

 

[Rana]

Give us some slog sweeps chacha

 

[Heisenberg111]

Smuts is a good T20 bowler.

 

[PakPremi]

Talat , ifti , khushdil not the middle order which is going to win you games. Someone who cant play shots in the V isn’t a good batsman. Asif Ali is a much better batsman, by Pakistani standards. There is that guy Rizwan,, left handed, he seems a better choice. But then I’m neither Misbah , nor babar azam, I’m just a fan who feels like breaking his idiot box watching idiots at play.

Asif Ali is poor too,and had enough chances without doing much apart from one inning.

 

[castortroy]

Man we are so awful against left arm spin

 

[DeadBall]

Smutllrathan bowling well.

 

[MHN1293]

I think he's just shy. In the right conditions he will deliver it.

Shy of good bowlers. He wont be afraid to unleash himself against zim.

 

[MRSN]

finisher lol

 

[volcyz]

Iftikhar playing test match cricket

Embarrassing

 

[shah_1]

Ifti has enough power that I believe in this current XI. He can only hit 6 sixes in an over.

He is a clown

 

[castortroy]

Struggling against standard bog left arm spin

 

[Titan24]

There is no way Smuts should be bowling 4 overs at an economy of less than 6!

 

[Heisenberg111]

160 is enough here.

 

[MRSN]

Iftikhar playing such a selfish innings. Not surprised as he has Misbah as his inspiration.
