Pakistan vs New Zealand | 3rd T20I | Dubai | Nov 4, 2018 | Pakistan innings

[QalandarFan]

Another one Babar

 

[Fahdi]

Babar slogging successfully? That's new.

I mean he can score quick through conventional stroke play but slogging?

 

[castortroy]

Both should be attacking Munro

 

[Justcrazy]

Good shots

 

[coy0607]

Babar with a real spring in his step

 

[Fahdi]

That last ball looked like a No-ball

 

[Titan24]

Babar slogging successfully? That's new.

I mean he can score quick through conventional stroke play but slogging?

Babar has the big shots but doesnt take the risk unless required as he is the key wicket for Pak in all the LOIs

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar slogging successfully? That's new.

I mean he can score quick through conventional stroke play but slogging?

Might as well, I mean we’ve already won the series so no pressure even if he gets out.

 

[shariqnoor]

This may sound weird and controversial but i feel Pakistani umpires are biased against Pakistani batsmen.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Babar needs to back himself more to go for big shots.

This! It seems like he has worked on his power game and is in progress. Now he just needs to back himself and get confidence to plays those bug shots too. Just like he plays those ground drives

 

[babajee]

Get that century Bobby!

 

[QalandarFan]

more!

 

[babajee]

This! It seems like he has worked on his power game and is in progress. Now he just needs to back himself and get confidence to plays those bug shots too. Just like he plays those ground drives

Yes exactly, it's not like he lacks the power or timing to go big.

 

[Fahdi]

A lucky boundary.

 

[QalandarFan]

Another

 

[Titan24]

This! It seems like he has worked on his power game and is in progress. Now he just needs to back himself and get confidence to plays those bug shots too. Just like he plays those ground drives

In T20s maybe but in ODIs his wicket is so important that it doesnt worth the risk. He should model himself upon Kohli who doesnt play a risky shot unless required but when requird he can up the anti.

 

[Justcrazy]

123 . 1

16 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get 50 in these last 4 overs

 

[On_the_up]

100 for Babar for the taking here

 

[Speedster1]

Babar wants his 100 lol

 

[QalandarFan]

In T20s maybe but in ODIs his wicket is so important that it doesnt worth the risk. His should model himself upon Kohli who doesnt play a risky shot unless required

Hard to be Kohli but yes he should not give his wicket away in ODI’s our middle order is not strong enough to rebuild if he gets out cheaply.

 

[Hayreddin]

Babar out

 

[QalandarFan]

No! Babar gone...

 

[coy0607]

oh mannn, almost got another 6

imo one of Babar's best T20 innings

 

[Hayreddin]

Malik time

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif Ali should come

 

[Saurav]

In T20s maybe but in ODIs his wicket is so important that it doesnt worth the risk. He should model himself upon Kohli who doesnt play a risky shot unless required but when requird he can up the anti.

Rotation of strike is most important for that

 

[Madplayer]

Missed out on a century but a good innings and potentially a match winning one.

 

[Usman Chadda]

In T20s maybe but in ODIs his wicket is so important that it doesnt worth the risk. He should model himself upon Kohli who doesnt play a risky shot unless required but when requird he can up the anti.

Babar doesn’t have the skillset of Kohli. He should focus on playing his game and let the other batters do their bit.

 

[Titan24]

Asif Ali, whats the point of not sending him?

 

[On_the_up]

Spoke too soon

 

[mak36]

No Asif

 

[QalandarFan]

oh mannn, almost got another 6

imo one of Babar's best T20 innings

His 50 off 25 odd balls in NZ is probabaly still my favorite but this was also great.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar gone

 

[Titan24]

Rotation of strike is most important for that

Yes totally.

 

[coy0607]

I think they've lost all confidence in Asif Ali

if the pinch hitter can't come out to bat with 4 over and plenty of wickets left, then really he doesn't deserve a spot in playing 11

 

[QalandarFan]

I swear if we don’t get past 160 here...

 

[Shaab]

Babar doesn’t have the skillset of Kohli. He should focus on playing his game and let the other batters do their bit.

Disagree- Babar is turning out to be one of the finest white ball batsmen there is- he just needs to work on his power hitting and he will be equal to or even better than Kohli

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Back to back 4's Malik

 

[Titan24]

Babar doesn’t have the skillset of Kohli. He should focus on playing his game and let the other batters do their bit.

Kohli never started with those skill sets, he learned them with time. Babar is 24, if he works hard and continues to learn he can improve.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I swear if we don’t get past 160 here...

Easy

 

[coy0607]

Malik >>> Asif

 

[badsha001]

wait what, no Asif??? are these guys serious right? did Asif get injured in the dressing room lol?

 

[QalandarFan]

2 fours by Malik!

 

[Justcrazy]

Malik

 

[Titan24]

Lol, NZ dont want Asif Ali in

 

[Nasty Naz]

Malik already at 8 runs on 2 balls. Sending in Malik over Asif is lookin' great!

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped

 

[ads101]

Kohli never started with those skill sets, he learned them with time. Babar is 24, if he works hard and continues to learn he can improve.

People don't remember but early on Kohli was considered the anchor of the line up. Was only after 2011 that Kohli started becoming a big hitter/ aggressive batsman.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez Sobers needs to start bashing these Kiwi’s aswell.

 

[mak36]

NZ do not field well when they are put under pressure.

 

[coy0607]

very quite knock by Hafeez so far today

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's been good

 

[Titan24]

People don't remember but early on Kohli was considered the anchor of the line up. Was only after 2011 that Kohli started becoming a big hitter/ aggressive batsman.

Exactly, he was never a game changer when he first started. Now he has become a beast totally with hard work and dedication

 

[Usman Chadda]

very quite knock by Hafeez so far today

Hardly. He has ruined NZ’s best ranked bowler tonight.

 

[Markhor]

Just tuning in now. Hopefully we can finish strong starting with this over by this Danny Morrison lookalike.

 

[Titan24]

What a shot from Hafeez

 

[QalandarFan]

Great shot by Hafeez

 

[Shaab]

Hardly. He has ruined NZ’s best ranked bowler tonight.

^^^ And there is no question that HAFEEZ can't accelerate

 

[Titan24]

Heading for our best total in the last 5 matches

 

[QalandarFan]

Just tuning in now. Hopefully we can finish strong starting with this over by this Danny Morrison lookalike.

140 looked like a great score at one point we started off horribly. Now looks like we’ll get 165

 

[Usman Chadda]

^^^ And there is no question that HAFEEZ can't accelerate

He definitely can. A very smart hitter of the ball. Just needs to let go of his selfish nature in ODI cricket and he can be very good for Pakistan in the twilight of his career.

 

[Rayyman]

Can they please stop playing the PSL theme in the stadium? Somebody tell them.

 

[Shaab]

Pak batsmen should try and be "Innovative"- we have *many* wickest in hand- they should just try and slog

 

[QalandarFan]

Hardly. He has ruined NZ’s best ranked bowler tonight.

There is no bowler Hafeez Sobers can’t ruin still remember how he thrashed Malinga in 2013/14 in UAE. As far as spinners are concerned Hafeez Sobers bashes them for fun.

 

[Shaab]

Pak set for 170

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez!!! more!

 

[Titan24]

If Hafeez can go with this form and Fakhar can get in form for the world cup than it can be really good for us

 

[QalandarFan]

Can we get 30 (10)

 

[Fahdi]

What was that ball

 

[Titan24]

Lol what was that

 

[Hayreddin]

There is no bowler Hafeez Sobers can’t ruin still remember how he thrashed Malinga in 2013/14 in UAE. As far as spinners are concerned Hafeez Sobers bashes them for fun.

Agreed, most of us should admit that we were wrong about Hafeez. He's incredibly talented and a fighter, and deserves the recognition of being one of the best all-rounders we've produced (certainly more consistent than Afridi).

 

[QalandarFan]

Ok, 170 still on!

 

[Nasty Naz]

That's taking a slower bouncer to a whole new level.

 

[Titan24]

Asif Ali should hit some sixes tonight

 

[Asif321]

That chapman played for Hongkomg before kiwis .

 

[Titan24]

That chapman played for Hongkomg before kiwis .

Yes, a talented young batsman

 

[Asif321]

Hafeez been brilliant this series
It has also mean Malik playing at 4 and getting less time to settle which has affected him
Not having hafeez makes Malik to score better

 

[Titan24]

Comeon Asif

 

[Justcrazy]

156 . 3

19 overs
