Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | Nov 7, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

Got to keep NZ below 250.

Since the start of 2010 in ODIs against the top nine ranked sides in the UAE, Pakistan have lost 11 out of 13 chases where the target was 250+.

We have two wins - one of which came from a once in a lifetime Abdul Razzaq innings.

Perhaps we might have had a chance if your favourite Inzi would have picked a better side
 
Pathetic side.... 9-10 defeats await them in the WC.
 
This guy Taylor has made a glorious ODI career out of PAK!! Probably best batsman in this decade against his favourites.
 
A typical day at the office for the minnows. Nothing to look into here.

I am off to celebrate our T20 streak.
 
Pakistan might have to do in this match which they havent been doing well for some years now and that is chasing a decent score against a good opposition in ODIs.
 
He is not my favourite I have explained this many times don't be like Mamoon
Just a little bit of frustration to see him bowling like that but for the WC i think we seriously need a right arm pacer as Aamir will be back soon.
 
280-290 is well on the cards. There's no way our batting lineup is scoring that much against the likes of Southee and Boult unless there's a special innings from one of our batsman. Pakistan is really very very ordinary in ODIs. T20 spinners in Imad and Shadab cannot be used in ODIs and Tests.
 
Shadab "superstar" Khan averages 30 in ODIs against non-minnows. Keep playing one hit wonders from T20 cricket. This is what you will keep getting.

You do not have a right to celebrate the streak after bad mouthing it. Go celebrate India's win.
 
New zealand should get 300 here at least, which will be a tough chase.
 
A journalist in UAE said that Pakistan should shift its matches to ICC Academy in Dubai and Abu Dhabi because it is a lot cheaper and there's no crowd in Sheikh Zayed and DSC anyways.

Junaid khan too averages 30 against non minnows , we dont have any shane warnes and malcolm marshals waiting for us.

well I think the journalist should shut his mouth and Pakistan should shift all matches to Pakistan..
 
Sarfaraz is a clueless captain.
look at how easily they have milked the bowling after 78/3

Sometimes you got to give the other team credit.

How do you think Australia felt, letting us get to 290 odd after being 54-5.
 
Pak have lost 17 of the last 21 one day wins against the big teams

Horrific stat

21 defeats from our last 27 ODIs against the top sides since the 2015 WC. We have six wins - but half came in the 2017 Champions Trophy.

But his overall average is better than all the Asian pacers baring Hassan, Bumrah and Mustafizur
 
Junaid still performing better than Amir. The problem is Hasan Ali.
 
Boy this will be hard to chase.

Predict how many NZ will get?

I am guessing 300.
 
This is a revolt against captain type of performance Sarfaraz’s days are numbered & rightly so!!
 
He has only played one international match the past few months.

What do you expect?

One match doesn't define a player, neither in a good or in a bad way

It's more about how he has bowled. Trying to bowl a bouncer to Ross with Junaid's in UAE is going to get you smacked. Yet he went for it and went for a four. Gotta think in the game which he can't.

Two different formats bro. Dont u think he should have applied more pressure through field placements

In ODIs most of our players have been lacking street smartness so that’s nothing new

Still though, getting a team like Pakistan to 54-5 and letting them score runs? A team known for their brittle batting?

But anyway, I agree he could.
 
Hasan Ali is a non-thinking bowler.Has no plans against any batsman.
Hasnt even loked like trying to bowl a wicket taking ball.

I would gladly take Amir over him... At least he keeps the runs down.

Hows that average doing now? :akhtar
 
If only hassan can find some form, the way shadab is bowling we can squeeze the opposition in the middle. Just need someone to support shadab in his current form
 
Tell me how is he performing better than Amir? Amir played against much better Indian team and played on wicket where there was nothing for bowlers and was economical.

Amir - Last 10 ODIs - 3 wickets @ avg of 101.
 
What is Shadab doing? Does he know he isn't good enough to play ODIs? He needs to stop picking up these wickets. I blame Inzy for picking Shadab. :po:
 
wow, what an over. If we can get taylor out as well.

Right now Shadab is a 3 wickets in 4 balls wonder.
 
Shadab Khan has destroyed NZ. Some posters must be cringing at their own words haha.
 
Relief to get rid of De Grandhomme. Has a knack of absolutely destroying us whenever NZ are on the ropes
 
The way shadab is bowling I don’t know how still Sarfaraz, Mickey and Inzi are still not tempted to throw in Mohammad Irfan (Leggie), Zaffar Gohar with him and they both are decent batsman as well.
 
Well only a freak moment could've brought Pakistan back. Shadab with 3 in an over.

Now that I see it, a super move to bring Latham into the middle order. Along with Williamson, he's their best player of spin and thoroughly negated the Pakistani spinners. Did so in India as well.
 
Imagine if Shadab had actual support from another proper spinner. Replace Imad with Gohar or Asif and we have two good wicket-taking spin options.
 
I feel sorry for some posters on these threads. How many times will they be shown to be clueless about their judgement on cricketers? A little shame would be great but unlikely.
