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

[MenInG]

2 close games but Pakistan have emerged as victors - Can they make it 3 in a row?

 

[fluke]

they should go for the kill 3 - 0 sounds satisfying instead of 2 -1

 

[AFM]

Give the bench players a go.

Rest Hassan. Deserves to be dropped anyway.

 

[fluke]

hassan shouldnt be in the playing eleven u r right

 

[Asif321]

Waqas set to make debut

 

[rizwanak]

Isn't just a dead rubber, comes with ranking points

 

[ARK Rafay]

Waqas should make debut

 

[PakPremi]

T20s do not matter not sure why New Zealand care so much they should have brought their Z team.

It's a matter of perspective

 

[PakPremi]

Im being sarcastic. Why would any international format not matter. Teams play to win and not just turn about because they have nothing better to do.

T20s do not matter these days because Pakistan are on a roll and are number one ranked.... all of a sudden T20s will start mattering when someone else is number one.

 

[Mansoor3120]

everyone says t20 doesn't matter
why there is international t20 in every tour?

The man should get a medal for this post you are 100 percent right man

 

[mak36]

Pakistan win toss and will bat first.

 

[Baigel]

Really weak team being played by New Zealand

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[mak36]

Really weak team being played by New Zealand

Bringing in Lockie Ferguson, a guy who bowls 150 + for fun, is weak?

 

[PakPremi]

Well they lost the series and want to now rest players to win the next assignment.

 

[mak36]

Feel sorry for Talat.

 

[Baigel]

Bringing in Lockie Ferguson, a guy who bowls 150 + for fun, is weak?

They've dropped a primary spinner for an allrounder, and pace on the ball is only going to help Fakhar and Babar

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Lockie should have played in the first T20 in place of Southee.

 

[Baigel]

Feel sorry for Talat.

Agree with you on that

 

[MenInG]

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand:

Colin Munro, Glenn Phillips, Kane Williamson (capt.), Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Taylor, Mark Chapman, Tim Seifert (wk), Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Seth Rance




Pakistan:

Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Asif Ali, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (capt. and wk), Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Usman Khan, Waqas Maqsood

 

[Justcrazy]

All set , Pakistan to bat here again

 

[QalandarFan]

Let’s make it 3-0!

 

[mak36]

What?

They have swapped out Milne for Ferguson (like for like).

They have swapped the spinner Patel (who has been mediocre) with a medium pacer in Rance (who is also mediocre).

They have swapped Anderson for a specialist batsman in Chapman.

 

[Baigel]

So Patel (frontline spinner) for an allrounder in Chapman (part time spinner)...I think we're debating on whether Chapman is a specialist batsman, but according to Cricinfo he's an allrounder

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why would you drop an 18 year old for a 35 year old?

Pakistan know how to induct players in the team

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar and Hafeez hold the key for Pakistan.

 

[Baigel]

Reckon they've rested Shaheen and decided to give Waqas a game as it is a dead rubber

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Would have preferred Malik being dropped for Talat instead.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's dropped?

 

[Baigel]

First ball drop

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Swing

 

[Baigel]

Whats Waqar doing in a 30 year olds body, the swing is real

 

[Titan24]

Lol, Rance is swinging it like no tmw

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're looking at each other and ball watching....

 

[Titan24]

Swing with decent pace, impressive start from Rance

 

[Titan24]

Hoping Waqas will generate as much movement later on

 

[mak36]

Pitch is slow. Same wicket as last match.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 after 2 overs

 

[Rana]

Boring start. Fakhar poor as usual on the leg stump

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar can't see the ball

 

[Titan24]

Somebody needs to tell Southee that T20s are not meant to be taken that seriously

 

[Justcrazy]

Very slow start.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan finding it hard to get going.

 

[Saj]

Awful start.

FZ struggling with deliveries off his pads.

 

[Rana]

Horrendous leg stump/body line batsman is Fakhar

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar

 

[QalandarFan]

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar needs to work on his leg side play before the world cup

 

[Speedster1]

Poor start

 

[On_the_up]

Practicing for the upcoming tests by the looks of it.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 / 0

4 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Good over.

 

[Rana]

New Zealand fielding is awesome

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar gets that away

 

[Rana]

Dubai producing a dead gem track as usual

 

[QalandarFan]

Dubai producing a dead gem track as usual

Did you expect any different?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

28 off 5 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

28 after 5 overs

25 % of overs gone

 

[QalandarFan]

He’s not bowing that well is Rance. Fakhar is just struggling with that line most batsman would be flicking those low full tosses away to the fence.

 

[RehanG]

should get 150 atleast.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to start hitting now , one of them has to take calculated chances

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar will cut loose against the spinners.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar succumbs to pressure

 

[QalandarFan]

There goes Fakhar didn’t look great today at all.

 

[Titan24]

Poor innings from Fakhar, how difficult it is to practice hitting on the leg side

 

[RehanG]

Fakhar will cut loose against the spinners.

in the next match he plays perhaps..

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar will cut loose against the spinners.

He will not , he is gone

 

[emranabbas]

Test hafeez vs pace
Let's see if he's really improved

 

[mak36]

Should have sent in Asif.

 

[QalandarFan]

Well good thing is it bring Hafeez Sobers to the crease!

 

[CricFan2012]

Fakhar is so overrated on this forum, so many technical faults yet people are comparing him to Warner, Rohit, and Dhawan LOL.

 

[QalandarFan]

in the next match he plays perhaps..

Yes ODI’s are his stongee suite anyways.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pace is pace yaar!

 

[Titan24]

One of the Pak batsmen needs to play a good knock to get to 150

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nzl had a great game plan against Fakhar. Fakhar has been found out. He's vulnerable when the ball is on pads and pressure rises bang it short on body.
