Pakistan vs New Zealand | 2nd T20I | Dubai | Nov 2, 2018 | New Zealand Innings

[CricketDon]

Brah who’s idea was it too bowl faheem now? Anderson’s eyes must have lit up.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Why has new zealand not made 180+?

Their playing the long game.

It's their secret diabolical plan to ensure Pakistan don't get practice for the 2020 World Twenty20.

It's brilliant if you think about it.

[topspin]

Why has new zealand not made 180+?

65-70% of the reason is because of the slow + uneven paced wickets + large grounds in UAE

30 - 35% - good bowling + NZ's weaker suite of playing spin.

 

[ManFan]

Anderson turning it on.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Anderson 6 4 4

 

[Fahdi]

The last 4 was just bad luck

 

[Asif321]

Kane gone

 

[IAJ]

Well you need to ball slower here

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Boom boom Anderson

 

[ManFan]

Cricket in two balls:

A pin-point leg-stump yoker gets smashed for four.

A leg-stump half-volley gets a wicket.

 

[ARK Rafay]

65-70% of the reason is because of the slow + uneven paced wickets + large grounds in UAE

30 - 35% - good bowling + NZ's weaker suite of playing spin.

You got your own answer.

 

[ManFan]

Shaheen Afridi getting better and better every game.

 

[Abdullah719]

The last 4 was just bad luck

If you want to nitpick, the yorker should have been on or outside off-stump with fine-leg up, rather than outside leg-stump.

 

[Fahdi]

Gem of an over from Shaheen

 

[ManFan]

Beautiful, beautiful.

 

[Josh]

Excellent over from shahin!

 

[Markhor]

Terrific over.

 

[mak36]

If you want to nitpick, the yorker should have been on or outside off-stump with fine-leg up, rather than outside leg-stump.

Fine leg should have been back if plan is to bowl yorkers.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

65-70% of the reason is because of the slow + uneven paced wickets + large grounds in UAE

30 - 35% - good bowling + NZ's weaker suite of playing spin.

But if New Zealand score 170+, then those grounds will turn into fast + even paced wickets in a small ground so that Pakistan will have batting practice for a tournament in two years.

 

[ManFan]

Is there dew?

 

[Fahdi]

If you want to nitpick, the yorker should have been on or outside off-stump with fine-leg up, rather than outside leg-stump.

That line would Bhavesh given Anderson room and had he missed the mark the ball would have gone for 6 like it did before.

 

[Abdullah719]

Fine leg should have been back if plan is to bowl yorkers.

Yeah.

Plan seems to be yorker followed by half-volley

 

[ManFan]

Hasan bowling filth.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Does that security guard want to get hit in the head? Because that's how he will get hit in the head.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen is just one helluva talent. Ceiling is very high with this kid.

 

[Vitaly]

It's a winning total

 

[Arham_PakFan]

3rd one for Shaheen

 

[Fahdi]

That was a very brave shot for 6.

Revenge off the next ball

 

[Fahdi]

This is going to be a tough chase.

 

[topspin]

But if New Zealand score 170+, then those grounds will turn into fast + even paced wickets in a small ground so that Pakistan will have batting practice for a tournament in two years.

Nope it just's a bad day from our bowlers if that was the case.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar needs to fire today. This will be very difficult for this Pakistan side

 

[Madplayer]

Shaheen looks happy today haha

 

[topspin]

Fakhar needs to fire today. This will be very difficult for this Pakistan side

Agreed anything over 150 against a decent side they tend to struggle.

 

[Rana]

Southee running right down the track!

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar will be critical to chase this 150+ target not gonna be easy

 

[Asif321]

154 to get

 

[Rana]

Very well bowled. 3-20

 

[Madplayer]

Tough chase coming up.

 

[CricketDon]

How is this kid a death bowler?

Every last over he bowls it goes for 10-15 runs?

 

[Pakhs]

Hasan Ali has not bowl well for a while he might be next to take a rest like Amir.

 

[Rana]

Not sure why no commentator or umpire didn’t pick up Southee’s running down the track?!

 

[Fahdi]

Had Munro been caught we could have restricted NZ to 135-140, maybe even less

 

[ads101]

154 is a decent target, not earth shattering. We're pretty lucky that no one supported Munro and Anderson, had they both had a decent batsman at the other end, New Zealand would be looking at much more. In fact if anything, bit strange they could only score 150 or so with 2 fantastic innings. Team mates let them down.

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar needs to get us off to a strong start.

 

[Darkrai]

How is this kid a death bowler?

Every last over he bowls it goes for 10-15 runs?

Better than Hassan who serves up pies after pies.

 

[IMMY69]

This will be like chasing 180-190...
A good test for our batting.

Will be difficult But I'm still backing them to get these.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bad bowling by Hasan Ali. Good from Shaheen. Very Tough chase coming up.
