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

99 runs, 5 wickets, eco. 4.13 in 24 overs.

Brilliant from Shadab, Imad and Hafeez. The former two should both start in Pak. XI in Asia. No need for specialist spinner.

This should be a comfortable chase iA.
 
How's the wicket playing, only saw the last few overs.

I think under lights, Boult may get some swing. So first 5-6 overs will be dangerous for Pakistan.

Otherwise, wicket has played decently, if anything a little slow for the fast bowlers and hence our spinners have good stats, particularly Shadab.

For the Kiwi fast bowlers, it will be about swing upfront and then mixing it up with slower deliveries for the middle/end part of the innings ...
 
Unless Fakhar gets us off to a flying start i can see us struggling to chase this total with our snail like batting.
 
Pakistan are really missing a trick by not having Haris in the XI. We need to solidify the batting lineup.
 
Easy chase coming up. Pakistan to chase this inside 48 overs.
 
I think we should have played Henry, he's done well in the UAE and I feel Lockie could go for runs here.
 
Has Kane cleared his action? Kiwis must be planing few overs of him with Sodhi.
 
Fakhar looks off his game. I think a lot of doubt has crept into his approach after a series of failures. NZ has also done a great job in identifying his weak zones.
 
I do not see Pakistan getting anywhere close to the total. Pakistan is a minnow in ODIs.
 
While I believe Hassan needs time off the game, Fakhar needs more time in the middle somehow
 
lol 3 overs and experts predicting and throwing everything in the ring... Immature fans :salute
 
About time Fakhar goes back to the drawing board and play Shan as a replacement
 
We know how this story goes.

Again another Fakhar failure in a UAE ODI.
 
People actually want Fakhar dropped?

What have I missed? Last I saw he was sccoring runs for fun and breaking records.
 
What a way to get out. LOL

Babar has had plenty of unlucky dismissals against New Zealand
 
Boulty running through Pakistan :D

7 balls and already has 2 wickets.

Nothing great from him, but I'll take it.
 
Much needed humiliation coming up.... running away with my tail between my legs :afridi
 
Unless Hafeez plays a blinder considering the form he is in match seems to be gone
 
Unreal. A bit unlucky for Babar but a loose stroke nonetheless.

Really needed Haris to come in next.
 
What was Babar trying to do? Even if that didn't hit the edge, what would he have achieved with that shot?
 
But Inzi be like... sub acha hai.... lemme learn nothing from Asia Cup and select same team again.


Best. Chief. Selector. Ever. Period.

:salute :salute :salute



Dil hai tou mango more :inzi2
 
Babar before this match averages 11 at a SR of 53 against nonminnows in 2018.

We can beat up SRL, WI and ZIM but we look out of our league in ODIs against the top sides.
 
Hafeez and Malik can get away with things in 20 over but I think the 50 over game has past them by
 
It was only a question of New Zealand getting their only world class fast bowler back into the fold.

Party over for minnow bashers.
 
How come Fakhar misses easy straight deliveries? Smith would hit those all day.
