South Africa (194/9) thrash Pakistan (139) by 55 runs in the first T20I of the series

[RizwanT20Champ]

chasing 200ish, babar could well be a liability. time will tell....

I am sure Farhan and Ayub will score at 250 as usual....

2 wrongs don't make a right

 

[RidiculousMan]

Brevis special loading...

 

[Human786]

out

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Inferior? lol.

It took Hafeez a decade for him to even find his footings in international cricket and could barely bat in SENA conditions. Saim Ayub centuries in SA alone is more than Hafeez ever had in his entire ODI career vs SENA.

I am talking about bowling.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

But the difference between the 2 is 1.4%, if a team wins a 4 match series 3-1, you don't say the difference was 1. I won't respond to the vile name calling - just showing the typical Roterham class.

Again, you said the viewers “know their cricket”, because Babar got more votes.

0.7% is what stops them from being level, you’re doing Bhangra over that…

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Wow Saffers, you have just lit up the series already

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a hack shot.

If a Pakistani batter played this. He would've been dropped from the squad.

But South Africa will persist with him, slowly correcting his game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

When you play Nawaz sit on the backfoot. You can score more

 

[Devadwal]

Nawaz the allrounder >>> Saim Ayub The allrounder @RyanRyan10

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

How hard is it to understand this fast bowlers will always go for runs vs sena teams will never trouble them it's always spinners who will trouble them look what's happening right now it's spinners no surprise don't understand pakistan obsession with pace why they want to be like Australia.

 

[Rana]

Babar desperately hoping 160-170 score lol

 

[Human786]

only good thing was the lady sitting on extreme left in TT longe 10 minutes back ... 200 def on .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last ball of 9.5 overs. Ramiz lol

 

[Devadwal]

And you're hoping for Babar Azam failure

Babar desperately hoping 160-170 score lol

[Josh]

SA middle order batting like Pakistan middle order batted against India

 

[RidiculousMan]

Most powerful non Caribbean batter of current times in

 

[Human786]

116/4 in 11

 

[Devadwal]

SA middle order batting like Pakistan middle order batted against India

Absent of Miller and klassen is really hurting for them.

 

[Rana]

Bosch and Linde still to come

 

[jnaveen1980]

Half tracker from saim and he got wicket. Lucky

So many half trackers. Instead of timing these south Africans threw kitchen sink and perished. This looks like a 230 wicket. Pakistan will hunt down easily.

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen+ Naseem , 4 overs 50 runs 0 wickets

Nawaz+ Saim , 5 over,31 runs , 4 wickets

 

[Human786]

13 overs ... 129/4

36 balls left - 139/5 .... 185 ?

 

[Devadwal]

What an spell from Nawaz 26/3 in 4 overs. A match winning bowling spell

 

[Nasty Naz]

Nawaz strikes again. He saved the bowling group from annihilation tonight.

 

[Rana]

Rameez desperate for an anchor role

SA 140-5 in 14 overs

6 overs left lol

 

[Rana]

“Reza I beg you anchor so that I can justify Babar later!!”

 

[Energy]

Match winner Nawaz and all rounder Saim have bailed out the premiere fast bowlers and the mystery spinner.

 

[SherWaqar]

Match winner Nawaz and all rounder Saim have bailed out the premiere fast bowlers and the mystery spinner.

Saim a bowler who can bat a bit?

 

[Devadwal]

Linde is useless

 

[imshally81]

Why Faheem in the team ?

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Imagine if one of the sponsors was PSO, they’d be showing a guy filling up his Honda CD.

 

[Human786]

200 ?

 

[jamie smith fan]

Fast bowlers returns and boundaries start to flow.

 

[Nasty Naz]

From 89/1 in 7 overs to 152/5 in 16. Very impressive choke job from the spinners.

Not sure why Faheem is an automatic selection into the lineup when he is only a factor on very slow skiddy pitches.

 

[jamie smith fan]

200 ?

I want pak to be chasing 200+

 

[Human786]

200 ?

Shaheen ko gadhey jaisa peet raha hai

 

[imshally81]

So shaheen wants T20 Captaincy too

 

[Energy]

What a loser Shaheen has become since the phainty of Wade.

 

[Energy]

So shaheen wants T20 Captaincy too

If he concedes 50 runs in 4 overs consistently he'll be an ideal captain for T20Is.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

What exactly is Shaheens plan lol?

 

[Asif321]

King

 

[Energy]

Bobby bhai kia hogaya? Khairiat?

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Rana]

Welcome back king

 

[Human786]

I want pak to be chasing 200+

flat deck , dew ... 200 def gettable .

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Koi nee Babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol Babar. Can't bat anymore and you can't field either. Literally a total routine catch.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Babar chokker

 

[Human786]

6

 

[Asif321]

On these surfaces you don’t need Babar type of player should have rather played in Asia cup

 

[Rana]

Tu Khel le T20!

 

[Rana]

Koi nee Babar

Backwas band Kar!!

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

do not understand wide ball Strategy of Shaheen.. only two good balls he bowled were right at top of off stop

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar saved a six with great fielding

 

[imshally81]

Clean Bowled

 

[Devadwal]

Reeza gone. Spinners are doing the damage

 

[Devadwal]

Babar saved a six with great fielding

It was tactical dropped to lodge a protest against Shaheen odi captaincy

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

So Rana Sb is protected today?Does our Manangement thinks we cant see through this BS?

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

I don't see Pak crossing 150 in response on this pitch.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

I don't see Pak crossing 150 in response on this pitch.

watch linde choke us

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Bobby boy taking too many Sun baths for darker skin?

 

[imshally81]

Missing Sufiyan Muqeem here

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

What a beauty

 

[Nasty Naz]

Usually the death has been a struggle for Naseem but he is having quite the over here. I believe that was his fastest delivery so far of the match too.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

watch linde choke us

He's one of those players who always performs against us no matter what the format is. I think he has a test fifer against us as well (not sure though)

 

[Omer2002]

Missing Sufiyan Muqeem here

not raeally i had high hopes of him but i think he loses his lenghth too quickly maybe suman tariq shud be given a try ...i mean to think two so called allrounders have done better than abrar
