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

[imshally81]

Not out. ... Should be a wide

 

[Blackbradman]

Rubbish bowling, pakistan will chase this total in 18 overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

2 beautiful leg byes boundaries from Kaptaana

 

[Blackbradman]

Leg stump rubbish bowling

 

[imshally81]

The kid was impressive...clocking 148 kph easily

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Frequent technical issues on Jio Cinema App for this match

Problem is with the host broadcaster Supersport.

 

[Ahmed216]

Great start. Now time to establish a platform

 

[Blackbradman]

Easy runout missed and needless over throw

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar looks lost

 

[emranabbas]

5 off 8 ball lol

 

[imshally81]

Almost a runout

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rizwan nearly sold Babar down the river. What was that, lol

 

[ethan hunt]

These speedguns are a little generous. Is Ahmed Daniyal in the team. He ll clock 150 kph here.

 

[Omer2002]

Rizzy is an absolute joker and a rabbit...never seen an awful runner in my life

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar looks completely out of sorts

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan nearly sold Babar down the river. What was that, lol

Rizwan despeete to get off strike.

 

[shah_1]

crap

 

[Blackbradman]

Abhishek and Samson would have scored 25-30

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tactical geniuses Aaqib and Rizwan by putting up RizBar on top

 

[castortroy]

I did say he would rattle babar.

That's game over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely inns of 0 off 4 by Babar

Saim in at 3

 

[Rana]

King Bobsy

 

[shaz619]

A few firsts for Rizwan today:

- Showed up on the field with some make up on
- Became the first T20 captain in history to use wrist spinners at the top and bottom
- Opens the batting against a Ma-Kakah

 

[Human786]

it is on - the defeat !

 

[Omer2002]

Babar looks completely out of sorts

DOesnt know what day it is shud never be playing slogging isnt his game ..i mean pace or no pace all these shots be over infield n they are tuk tuking

 

[Blackbradman]

Babar duck against club level bowling

 

[Rana]

Doob Ke marr jao Babar aur Rizwan!

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar Azam Poor form continues

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor from Rizwan. First he doesn't give Saim an over or two and now forces him to bat at #3.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar is clueless.

His fans are the most delusional group of fan boys ever.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar needs to retire from all 3 formats

 

[Omer2002]

Yeass get in rizzy gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman and Saim should've been the openers

 

[shaz619]

The two love birds are looking like tailenders against their favourite bowling attack

 

[lazy cricketer]

woww 149 this kid is quick

 

[zarak]

bhai chor dou yay format

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan and Babar opening over Saim Ayub is a disgrace.

 

[Omer2002]

Oh oh my baddd i thought wss rizzy lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yeass get in rizzy gone

Babar gaya hai yaar

 

[Slim]

I cannot believe that after failing in two worldcups and Asia cups. Rizwan shamelessly puts himself and Babar up on top. This guy is so pathetic. Both dont deserve to be in the t20i side. Its ridiculous and insane how these termites dont leave the pakistan t20i side. They are only decent enough for ODIs and okay for tests but simply not good enough for t20is.

 

[Fazzy321]

Chalo Saim is technically opening after Babar goes for 0

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar duck against club level bowling

Most overhyped player to come out of Pakistan?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Jokes to see the broadcast put up the career T20 SR for our players and there was literally one player above 130 SR (Irfan Khan).

Gee, I wonder why Pakistan are an utterly rubbish side in T20's? Just a poor side with bad non-modern batters.

As I type this Babar gets out to a rubbish ball that should have been hit for 6.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

151kph by Maphaka

Serious gas this kid just 18 years old

 

[emranabbas]

Who on earth plays t20 at the strike rate of 60

 

[Rana]

Now if Saim scores

Who is rewarded?

Babar and Rizwan. They will get to continue as openers because Pakistan found a number 3

 

[castortroy]

Consistently quicker than any of the pak bowlers

 

[shaz619]

Oh but but ‘Rizwan’s captaincy…..he’s better then Babar.’

Even a donkey could do a better job then our king

 

[Blackbradman]

Bounce

While even Zimbabwe have 135+ SR with one or two players.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Babar looks like deer in the headlights facing 148 KPh.. we have seen wood toying with him before

 

[Slim]

What a pathetic shot from Babar, God is watching your injustice rizwan and babar. For how long you will be a source of humiliation for pakistan cricket.

 

[mominsaigol]

Even after multiple wides and 4 leg byes, Pakistan is still somehow going at run a ball

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar loser Nepal ka basher.

 

[Rana]

Saim do nothing


Let this besharam Rizwan get the runs

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Babar out!!


What's be still in the team for??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

bhai chor dou yay format

Koi pakar mein hi nahi aata in ke...choray kya pakray kya

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim do nothing


Let this besharam Rizwan get the runs

That's like asking the sun to rise from the west lol

 

[shaz619]

Now if Saim scores

Who is rewarded?

Babar and Rizwan. They will get to continue as openers because Pakistan found a number 3

The two snakes use these games to secure their positions then when things falter in a tournie they throw these boys at the deep end and give them a lot to do, a few matches later they are back, cycle repeats……

 

[emranabbas]

We need 9 runs an over

 

[castortroy]

Crazy not to have Fakhar in the white ball game.

The batting line up without him is probably the worst going around

 

[Rana]

Chalo Saim is technically opening after Babar goes for 0

This is the backwas RizBar fans have been using forever

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan playing dots at top. what was he thinking coming out as opener

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saim not rushed for pace by Maphaka unlike others.

Even after multiple wides and 4 leg byes, Pakistan is still somehow going at run a ball

Reminds me of Asia Cup final 2022. All those wides by Sri Lanka and PAK still lost on a Dubai pitch known to favour chasing sides.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Take your time boys with thrash like Ayub & Usman to come bat till 17th over.

Take your time? They are chasing 184 from 20 overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

What is this batting

 

[emranabbas]

Half of the power play wasted

 

[shaz619]

That's like asking the sun to rise from the west lol

We are into the 4th over of the PP & Rizwan’s pads have outscored him

 

[castortroy]

Indian batters absolutely destroyed this attack

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim not rushed for pace by Maphaka unlike others.

Courtesy of rizwan, bobby and chacha.

Chalo atleast we don't have chacha to irritate

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why the F are Rizwan and Babar opening again?

Aren't we done with this experiment?

 

[hafizexpress]

I don't blame Babar like everyone here. Rizwan is all to blame

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Back to back 4s Saim shaaba

 

[Rana]

What is this batting

This is the captain you were doing bhangra for

Its a poor t20i side because players that were poor 4 years ago are still playing in the team and they dont let it go. The new entrants like Saim and Irfan are the ones with higher SR.

The solution is clear as daylight yet somehow Rizwan and Babar - the cancers of Pakistan cricket stay in the t20i team.

 

[kingusama92]

Excellent start to the Test match for Rizwan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is this batting

This is Aaqib ball

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan went from fakhar or bust to saim or bust? Had hoti hai chawlo, just bat both of them as your all format openers

 

[PakFan2010]

Saim shown more intent than Zimbabar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 in a row Saim
