Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st T20I | Abu Dhabi | Oct 31, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan's batting needs to step up this series.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good partnership. Hopefully our power hitters perform today.

 

[IAJ]

Very pleasing on the eye, both of them here.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Never been a big Hafeez supporting but a lot of knives out for the guy who has saved an innings. Give him credit where it's due.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif needs to step up now.

 

[saeedhk]

Where are all the people who were saying Hafeez is useless? Scoring more than Asif, Farhan and Faheem combined in every match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Edge and 4 Hafeez

Keep the runs coming boys

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Where are all the people who were saying Hafeez is useless? Scoring more than Asif, Farhan and Faheem combined in every match

Include Imad and Shadab too in there if you should.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez gone

Southee with a blinder

 

[babajee]

Typical Pakistani batsman dismissal there

 

[Asif321]

Gone

 

[Fahdi]

What a poor ball to get out to

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a catch by Southee!

Hafeez gone.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pak need about 70 more runs.

 

[Rahul1]

This thread belongs in the "you know things are bad when
..." thread.

 

[happydavy]

Hafeez da swag

 

[Boi]

Milne always takes wickets with trash deliveries.

 

[Asif321]

Saifi ahead of Malik

 

[Fineline]

Finally!Welcome to the crease captain!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Safraz will score under 10.

 

[Asif321]

Need 150

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why is he keeping Malik back?

 

[Rana]

Asif really hasnt seen much of the strike!

 

[Josh]

Haha Asif and the slow ball

 

[Madplayer]

Why is he keeping Malik back?

Jet lag probably

 

[Asif321]

Wah kya short

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jet lag probably

Should not have played him then instead get someone else in.

 

[Abdullah719]

Jet lag probably

: Malik will be groggy.

 

[Asif321]

Last 7 overs now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are around 15 short at this stage of where they should have been.

 

[TeamPak95]

Asif really needs a big'un here

 

[Asif321]

Saif looks solid

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The sweep shot evades the fielder and Sarfaraz gets another four

 

[Fineline]

If Sarfaraz gets some runs under his belt,it will provide him with a lot of confidence!He desperately needs them!

 

[Madplayer]

James franklin seems like a nice commie. Better than Rameez for sure.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good bowling by Ajaz Patel to counter Sarfaraz’s movements in the crease.

 

[Markhor]

If this match was at the Gaddafi Stadium, or any other normal pitch, I'd back us to get 180. But these slow, low UAE wickets at grounds with big boundaries makes it more difficult to hit through the line of the ball.

We can get 150+ if Asif can kick on here.

 

[Fineline]

James franklin seems like a nice commie. Better than Rameez for sure.

Only Waqar is worse than Rameez! xD

 

[Asif321]

36 balls need 59 more . Asif is set

 

[TeamPak95]

Come on boyzz get these runss

 

[Deewana Mastana]

James franklin seems like a nice commie. Better than Rameez for sure.

Pakistan hasn't got any commies, let alone being any good..

It's a shame that Pakistan haven't produced any good quality English speaking commies in these years.

 

[Asif321]

Great fielding

 

[Madplayer]

What a catch!!!!!

Asif gone

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Asif throws his start away.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Tuller goes.

Looks like another 140ish score

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Phillips takes an excellent catch

Asif bye

 

[Fineline]

And Asif is dismissed again!When will this guy learn?

 

[TeamPak95]

At least 135-140

 

[Markhor]

Safraz will score under 10.

Well he's got 13, let's see if he can go big.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Might be it for Asif

 

[Asif321]

Asif set wasted

 

[Plumb]

36 balls need 59 more . Asif is set

Asif set or not, will remain the hack getting out to the pathetic bowler

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan hasn't got any commies, let alone being any good..

It's a shame that Pakistan haven't produced any good quality English speaking commies in these years.

Yes. I think Pakistan should send sports journalists for commentary because ex players arent good enough to provide any insight.

 

[m.shah]

Low quality hack gone

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shoaib Malik is on the crease.

 

[Madplayer]

Asif set wasted

Pakistan will probably crawl to 135 now.

 

[Asif321]

Openers took bit too many deliveries

 

[CricketDon]

Asif Ali is honestly useless.

 

[Madplayer]

Rameez says that edge was deliberate )

 

[badsha001]

how did Asif only played 21 balls? both Hafeez and Sarfraz hoarded all the balls?

 

[CricketDon]

36 balls need 59 more . Asif is set

And he’s gone

 

[Asif321]

Can we get 50 more in 30

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha..how was this deliberate?

 

[Plumb]

So Asif, Farhan shouldn't be near the team not even in T20. I hope Mickey realizes this soon or WC19 'll be horrible to watch

 

[Asif321]

49 in 30

 

[saeedhk]

The young batting talent of Pakistan. Thank god we have Malik and Hafeez or else we would see 110ish scores very often.

 

[Justcrazy]

101 . 4

15 overs

 

[m.shah]

Rameez says that edge was deliberate )

PAK commies are so poor

 

[Rayees Masroor]

Those who were saying all rubbish against Babar's SR must have got their answer,,even Asif Ali failed to hit

 

[Madplayer]

PAK commies are so poor

True. Its ridiculous really.

 

[saeedhk]

So Asif, Farhan shouldn't be near the team not even in T20. I hope Mickey realizes this soon or WC19 'll be horrible to watch

Shadab annd Faheem also. But the replacements will be even worse so no use

 

[TeamPak95]

Ugh Asif... lower order assault please

 

[Rayees Masroor]

Today I was listening the nonsense of sajid khan against Babar azam

 

[Asif321]

Hopefully Malik fire

 

[Deewana Mastana]

PAK commies are so poor

Even then being his first gig, Franklin knew it wasn't deliberate and reiterated that as soon as Rambo said so.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need someone to play a good cameo here

 

[m.shah]

Sarfaraz 19 of 18 balls

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ have already saved 15 runs in the field.

 

[Asif321]

44 in 24. Looks not possible
