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

[Madplayer]

What a harmless catching practice shot

 

[Usman Chadda]

Terrible knock

 

[Tabishbeigh]

Told ya!

 

[IAJ]

Get Talat hussain in next game, this guy were looking for the fielders

 

[shah_1]

Farhan is useless

 

[Plumb]

and the deck of cards is falling ....

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Don’t think there was a single ball he didn’t try to smash

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Two pathetic choices by our "genius" captain.

How about some courage and lead from the front.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Kiwis will rate pakistan in this series. Pakistan have not been up against a quality opposition in t20 recently hence why they have won most matches today will be a different result

 

[Asif321]

Back to Psl farhan

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I think NZ will push very hard in this series

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Don’t think there was a single ball he didn’t try to smash

The Lala Way.

 

[castortroy]

Such a hack this guy

 

[castortroy]

Kiwis will provide a very stern test here. Better bowlers, fielders and good batters.

 

[Asif321]

Now they will take 4 overs to recover

 

[troodon]

Farhan looked clueless against pace. He looks like a spin basher, but hit it straight to the fielder.

 

[Madplayer]

We need a hafeez special today

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Test conditions.

 

[Fineline]

Sarfaraz should have come in instead of Asif Ali.What a joke!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Sarfaraz should have come in instead of Asif Ali.What a joke!

Hey he's a genius who won the CT without scoring the runs or taking the wickets. Give him all the credit and let him do what he wants.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pitch is slow, and will only get slower. Pakistan needs a total of 140+ to make a match of this.

 

[troodon]

Hafeez is still Pak's best bat after Babar. Yet Pak fans want him to be out of the team.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan will need Asif to fire if they want to push on for a decent score around 150 here.

 

[badsha001]

How is Hafeez in a wonderful form lol?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez will now play the role Babar had to do

 

[Asif321]

Let’s see hafeez vs Milne

 

[Plumb]

What worrying is Mickey is backing these kind of players...

 

[Fineline]

Hey he's a genius who won the CT without scoring the runs or taking the wickets. Give him all the credit and let him do what he wants.

I just dont understand why doesn't he come out to bat?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

This looks like a dog of a T20 pitch.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Farhan looked clueless against pace. He looks like a spin basher, but hit it straight to the fielder.

He isnt a spin basher.
As said many times we have better openers. Farhan got lucky that he scored in Pakistan Cup on total flat pitches where like of Sami Aslam (who isnt an odi player too) chased scoring 170s in an innings..

 

[Plumb]

Hafeez to do the dance on the pitch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a shot Hafeez

Smacked that and what a sound that was.

Cracking!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

24-2 after 5 overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

The most striking aspect of this NZ bowling attack is that it has good variation. Pakistan will be tested to the full extent in this series.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez wants a run out

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

I just dont understand why doesn't he come out to bat?

Because he's a mediocre batsmen and doesn't want to take blame for continuous failures. The rest of the team wins with him as captain and he gets all the credit, meanwhile doing nothing with his performance.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The most striking aspect of this NZ bowling attack is that it has good variation. Pakistan will be tested to the full extent in this series.

Oh yes. They've got a good attack with the experience of Soutter and then pace of Milne and the rest too good variations.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They'll keep Sodhi for the latter stages

 

[Asif321]

Hafeez devillers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Six Hafeez

Really good shot paddle sweep off Southee

 

[Fineline]

Because he's a mediocre batsmen and doesn't want to take blame for continuous failures. The rest of the team wins with him as captain and he gets all the credit, meanwhile doing nothing with his performance.

I am lost for words!That is pathetic if true!

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Nice shot from Hafeez.

 

[Markhor]

Holy crap Hafeez

 

[Zakaz]

 

[m.shah]

Dot dot

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I hate how much of the strike the Professor hogs

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 more for Hafeez

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Asif must score today

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZ batting will compete better than australias.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

I hate how much of the strike the Professor hogs

You're not wrong but Ali doesn't exactly breed confidence either.

He's made us get a nice little comeback. Not the perfect comeback by him but we were in pretty bad shape.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sodhi is on

 

[Rayyman]

I would like Hafeez to do this against guys like Starc and Rabada.

 

[m.shah]

Ish into the attack

 

[AAli98]

Pak have always had pathetic batters, the new crop azam farhan asif wouldn’t get into afghan/bang teams... new low

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yaar koi score kero..

 

[m.shah]

Pak have always had pathetic batters, the new crop azam farhan asif wouldn’t get into afghan/bang teams... new low

What Azam won't get in Afghanistan team... There batting must be full of kohlis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shot Hafeez

 

[Deewana Mastana]

30 off 26 Hafeez

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif hasn't got much strike yet but hasn't been able to exert pressure on NZ

 

[AAli98]

What Azam won't get in Afghanistan team... There batting must be full of kohlis

Yet to see him score a meaningfull run against decent away opposition..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Six Asif lovely shot!

 

[Abdullah719]

Six Hafeez lovely shot!

Asif.

 

[Asif321]

Good strike
Move to promote Asif looking good

 

[Fineline]

Last chance for Asif.He gotta make it count!

 

[Fahdi]

Asif's promotion was smart honestly. Asif's strength is obviously fast bowling, he has been quite poor against spin.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sodhi

 

[saeedhk]

Time for the young “batting” talent to stand up today. Haffez and Malik will be the saviours as always

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif needs to look and get singles

 

[Madplayer]

Stunning fielding

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What an outstanding fielding effort that was from Phillips

 

[Fahdi]

Stunning piece of fielding

 

[JibranAnsari]

Paai hafeez choka maar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan 61-2 after 10 overs.

Need to get 80 in the last 10 anymore would be a bonus at this stage.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Should be getting at least a boundary an over now. You've played plenty of balls.

 

[saabir]

Hafeez been lucky so far. One catch drop by keeper and some edges

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Hafeez

He's into the 40's

 

[Fineline]

Hafeez been lucky so far. One catch drop by keeper and some edges

He has played well to be fair!

 

[m.shah]

Hafeez is good against spinners

 

[troodon]

Hafeez should be dropped )
