South Africa (183/9) secure an 11-run victory against Pakistan (172/8) in the 1st T20I to go 1-0 up in the 3-match series

[Ahmed216]

Rubbish Abrar being bought down to earth. It won't be long before this drama is over in limited overs.

He's hit by the best in his den. Bowled okay so far. Need to see more to come to conclusions

 

[Kianig89]

This Paulo Ferriera is enjoying from other end

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rauf the hack useless on a non conducive pitch

 

[jattafridi]

Miller will score 143 runs with 13 sixes

 

[Kianig89]

T20s in last decade or so has been mostly batsmen game

 

[hafizexpress]

Anyone else constantly losing signals on sky?

Yeah it keeps going dark. I thought it was just me

 

[Kianig89]

Saim & Usman should open

 

[hafizexpress]

Miller is one of the cleanest strikers this game has seen

 

[Omer2002]

South Africa 212

Pakistan 165

Congrats south Africa

How do wr get 165 with this batting br reasonable brother

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yeah it keeps going dark. I thought it was just me

Issue with Supersport not SKY. Happening in Indian broadcast also.

 

[Kianig89]

Bowlers bowling without plan ain't Gillespie with the team

 

[Ahmed216]

Rauf when he wants to be hit for a six after 3-4 good balls he bowls a slowie

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Faraar ho Ferreira

 

[khyberlion]

He's hit by the best in his den. Bowled okay so far. Need to see more to come to conclusions

I have seen enough over the years to know he's rubbish.

 

[mominsaigol]

200 chase Rizbab have done it before in SA but don't think they are same players now

Depends on wickets. Sa already 5 down

 

[hafizexpress]

Rauf was battling Miller well but what was that last ball. He's not sticking to his strengths. Bowls a few good balls then I don't know what goes into his head. This mentality is what cost him against Kohli in 2022 wc

 

[Rana]

Linde dangerous player in SA

 

[Ahmed216]

Need to get miller to seal this now

 

[Kianig89]

Do Pakistan have an opening

 

[Omer2002]

Actually lets be honest if u take miller out we have done well

 

[Kianig89]

Where is Pakistan trump card mercenary SSA

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Abbas Afridi may not have a high ceiling. But specifically for this format , he's a good bowler with his change ups.

 

[Ahmed216]

Depends on wickets. Sa already 5 down

True. Max Pak can chase here is 165-170

 

[Omer2002]

Abbas has actually bowled well

 

[Kianig89]

SA have good stadiums , 9 season of PSL and Pakistan back home still plays in granite caves

 

[imshally81]

What a shot

 

[Kianig89]

Abass the gifted trundler we got

 

[Ahmed216]

Miller in sweet touch today. Need a similar knock from Irfan Niazi today

 

[castortroy]

The pak batting line up is one of the worst I have seen.

Anything over 160 will be a match winning score

 

[hafizexpress]

Issue with Supersport not SKY. Happening in Indian broadcast also.

yup

 

[Kianig89]

Century loading for Miller

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saim should bowl now with 2 left handers.

 

[khyberlion]

Abbas Afridi may not have a high ceiling. But specifically for this format , he's a good bowler with his change ups.

He's decent for t20s, can bat a bit and decent in the field. Good t20 cricketer.

 

[Kianig89]

Miller SR 200+

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He's decent for t20s, can bat a bit and decent in the field. Good t20 cricketer.

Yeah I have not seen another Pakistani bowler bowl those into the pitch variations better than him

 

[Mohraheem]

Define power hitting in Pakistan : Tuktuk (Misbah)

 

[Kianig89]

Abass Afridi takes us back to England pacers of late 90s

Ealham
Austin
White
Caddick

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan cannot chase more then 150

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Miller stays till the end then 180 is on

 

[mominsaigol]

True. Max Pak can chase here is 165-170

I'm not so sure. The bowlers are rubbish. InfCt their the same trundlers babar and rizwan have feasted on the last time pakistan toured

 

[Human786]

game over boyz 131/5 in 13

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Had Klaasen stayed with him it would've been 230.

 

[Kianig89]

Muqeem bubble busted with a big DuPpppp

 

[castortroy]

This Sufiyan bowl too many half trackers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

game over boyz 131/5 in 13

Abhi toh party shurru hui hai

 

[Nasty Naz]

Killer miller always killing Pakistan.

Looks like a fantastic batting pitch.

 

[khyberlion]

As I said these so called specialist are barely better than our so called all rounders when it comes to bowling. Hence I prefer them ahead of these specialists.

 

[Rana]

No trust in Sufyan

Saim warming up

 

[Kianig89]

Another defeat it might be for Rizwan the captain

T20 record will be
P 4 W 0 L 4 D 0

Shades of Southampton bosses from mid 2000s

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Your brain seems to be in different place too other than the skull.

I m asking about Pakistan vs SA

Badtameezi se parhaiz karein

 

[Human786]

Abhi toh party shurru hui hai

really - 170 is closure imo !

 

[hafizexpress]

This Sufiyan bowl too many half trackers

He's scared of pitching it up with Miller slogging with his front foot. It's okay though he's young and will gain confidence if he's backed. He's got skills, Pak better utilize him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Miller gone 82 off 39

Shaheen gets it

 

[Kianig89]

SA are complete opposite to Pakistan 's philosophy

More like tiki taka against long ball approach

 

[imshally81]

Miller gone

 

[hafizexpress]

138 kph yorkah. That was vintage Shaheen

 

[Fazzy321]

As long as Miller is there they will reach 200

 

[Omer2002]

Shukarrr escaped 300 ...atleast 200 now will be respectable

 

[Kianig89]

Finally

 

[Deewana Mastana]

really - 170 is closure imo !

They need to wrap it up for 160 now

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Big wicket!

 

[Rana]

Now the Zimbabwe level players will come in

 

[Nasty Naz]

Whoa Shaheen 144 clicks on 4th ball of the over. Gets Miller next delivery.

Good stuff.

 

[imshally81]

This is a Joke ground..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Miller's best knock in more than 2 years. Was struggling to create any impact until now.

 

[Ahmed216]

I'm not so sure. The bowlers are rubbish. InfCt their the same trundlers babar and rizwan have feasted on the last time pakistan toured

Ya just saw the SA lineup. It's an all black lineup minus Rabada. Now Miller's gone too.
We are ahead

 

[Mohraheem]

Pakistan won’t do too much with the bat.. Tuktuk is there blood …

 

[khyberlion]

No trust in Sufyan

Saim warming up

The likes of him, abrar and faisal are quite average. The sooner we realize the better. We seriously need proper spinners who are not no 11 with the bat.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abass Afridi takes us back to England pacers of late 90s

Ealham
Austin
White
Caddick

White was a 140kph+ bowler

 

[imshally81]

Now 200 isn't possible here ...even 180 seems difficult

 

[followed]

Shaheen has bowled two balls over 140ks.
Nice

 

[khyberlion]

Afridi with a couple of deliveries above 140kph surely something is wrong with the speedguns.

 

[Kianig89]

Are v missing Naseem Shah the Supreme Trundler

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The likes of him, abrar and faisal are quite average. The sooner we realize the better. We seriously need proper spinners who are not no 11 with the bat.

Pakistan doesn't have any that can hold and score with the bat

 

[Ahmed216]

The likes of him, abrar and faisal are quite average. The sooner we realize the better. We seriously need proper spinners who are not no 11 with the bat.

Wrist spinners take time to mature. Sufi and Faisal need to play FC cricket.
Look at Kuldeep example

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 for Abrar

 

[Omer2002]

Whoa Shaheen 144 clicks on 4th ball of the over. Gets Miller next delivery.

Good stuff.

I saw that too must have been a mistake

 

[imshally81]

Stumped

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol Simelane
