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

[Sunny_majoka]

When they gonna learn

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Good on Saim to send the full toss to boundary. Guys like Tilak Verma or Sanju will put these in stands all day

 

[kingusama92]

Saim should have been opening in the first place.

 

[Slim]

Absolutely love Saim, he has paid all the faith laid in him. The team needs a changeover. We need to blood youngsters in the t20i team. How come we have these garbage players like Rizwan and Babar still playing?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan feels thori si sharam and charges down to hit a 4

After watching Saim hit 3 in 3

 

[emranabbas]

Saim 14 off 6
Rizwan 8 off 14

 

[Slim]

Rizwan plays a release shot after constant block-a-thons. Rich man’s imam ul haq.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Who on earth plays t20 at the strike rate of 60

RizBar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Required rate would've been over 12 by now had it been RizBar still together

 

[emranabbas]

Saim strike rate 200+
Rizwan strike rate 70+

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan plays a release shot after constant block-a-thons. Rich man’s imam ul haq.

no aerial shot by Rizwan so far. After Miserable innings in Sydney chasing 140 he has not learned anything

 

[BlindingLight]

Beghairat Babar coming before Ayub. He deserves this humiliation, and his delusional fans even more.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fantastic shot straight down the ground 4

Saim plays a test shot in T20

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim oozing class

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy Saim no need for that one

 

[Rana]

When they gonna learn

Never

 

[Champ_Pal]

Whole innings SA throwing wickets

This could have been 220+ had they not been so careless

SA batting is only about 2 men. Miller and Klassen. If they fail, they will struggle to even score 100.

 

[emranabbas]

Shabba saim

Playing straight isn't easy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Beautiful straight drive by Saim. Just an extension of his arms, high elbow and all.

 

[followed]

Zimbabar and rizwan should retire from t20is.
They are not good T20 batsmen.
Lol rizwan 13 off 17 balls.

 

[BlindingLight]

This rizbar bs has been ongoing for 3 years now. When will the suffering end.

 

[emranabbas]

Newly invented shot by saim lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely off the backfoot 4 runs Saim

 

[followed]

Lol what the heck rizwan the captain is doing.

 

[Slim]

no aerial shot by Rizwan so far. After Miserable innings in Sydney chasing 140 he has not learned anything

Its not just one, Asia cup final against SRL, t20i worldcup final, t20i worldcup semi final are enough for any sane person to ban Rizwan and Babar from t20i cricket yet they still stay in the team.

I am extremely disappointed with Aqib. Its ridiculous. If he is going to be like the others before him, then he should get ready to be booted out in few months. We like Aqib because we think he has courage but this t20i selection is just shamelessness.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2030.

 

[emranabbas]

Babar in last 4 t20

0, 41, 3, 3

 

[followed]

Saim has to open in the next. He is the only good T20 batsman in the batting line up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Short and pulled quickly by Saim

4 more

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar in last 4 t20

0, 41, 3, 3

Has babar avg in t20 dropped below 40 now?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

15 off 19. PP wasted.

 

[Omer2002]

Crazy not to have Fakhar in the white ball game.

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

Yes it is he scored a glorious first ball duck today

 

[Slim]

Babar in last 4 t20

0, 41, 3, 3

Watch Kamran ghulam getting dropped for him in tests. I would literally disown Aqib if this goes on for long. Enough is enough. We dont want Babar. We dont want Rizwan. We are so god damn tired of these both.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's beautiful

Saim yaar kya baat hai teri

 

[emranabbas]

Has babar avg in t20 dropped below 40 now?

Should do after today

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan nudging the rookie spinner in final over of the powerplay is absolute ridicolous. this is getting intolerable

 

[Sunny_majoka]

If rizwan have some Sharm, he won't open again

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A batsman scoring quickly during the powerplay? What is this sorcery?

 

[Rana]

Whilst I’m happy for Saim

The only beneficiary here is Babar and Rizwan

 

[Champ_Pal]

Some serious buffet bowling by SA. Just hit the ball to whichever corner of the ground you want to hit.

 

[imshally81]

Saim on fire

 

[mominsaigol]

Whilst I’m happy for Saim

The only beneficiary here is Babar and Rizwan

We have finally found a solid no 3 for t20

 

[Omer2002]

Has anybody hit a six yet miller and linde hit so.many


..rsst klass hendri other opener missed out big time

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan just wants to give Saim the strike to do all the hitting

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Saimcore

 

[emranabbas]

Insane saim playing at strike rate of 240 and rizwan struggling on 80

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

If rizwan have some Sharm, he won't open again

problem is that he has no spot in t20 line up

 

[Rana]

If rizwan have some Sharm, he won't open again

Lol

He will open until 2030

 

[Champ_Pal]

Century coming up for Ayub

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim gone

 

[Zeshan547]

Rizwan nudging the rookie spinner in final over of the powerplay is absolute ridicolous. this is getting intolerable

and him being the captain of our T20 team, should be joke of the century.

 

[castortroy]

What a poor shot

 

[Rana]

Oh well, it’s not like the other guy was going to try and score the runs Saim

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Century coming up for Ayub

Panauti

 

[Zeshan547]

Now match gone, Saim was only hope. Rest are just making up numbers.

 

[Slim]

Insane saim playing at strike rate of 240 and rizwan struggling on 80

Can @Saj please tweet about this. We need to raise voice against this Rizbar.


Saim gets eventually out, after getting constantly pressured by Rizwan to hit. Shameless rizwan now who will you hide behind?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

here comes another ugly hack

 

[Champ_Pal]

Horrible shot on a horrible ball.

Ayub gone. Throws away an easy century here. But gave Pak chase the right start. Well played.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rizwan 's tuk tuk caused that wicket.

 

[emranabbas]

Oh no saim but he's done his job

 

[Rana]

We have finally found a solid no 3 for t20

@Ahmed216 @Kianig89 will spread this nonsense here

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klaasen always looks like he has been through a war

 

[stani_pak]

Babar and Rizwan should never open again, let Saim, and someone else like Fakhar or heck even Usman Khan open and give them the license to go for it, and if they lose wickets early than Rizwan or Babar should come to in to bat.

 

[Rana]

Can @Saj please tweet about this. We need to raise voice against this Rizbar cancer.


Saim gets eventually out, after getting constantly pressured by Rizwan to hit. Shameless rizwan now who will you hide behind you beghairat?

Hahahahaha

Saj is a huge Rizwan supporter

 

[kingusama92]

Saim had the right mindset.

If Rizwan is going to bat the way he is, you have no other option.

 

[Omer2002]

And there you go that is the big issue ..they hit effortless sixes and we dont have one player who can clear the rope and yet i believe india made 200 about 3 times

 

[Nasty Naz]

Darn, Saim was batting so well. Pakistan will probably fall apart now.

 

[emranabbas]

Can @Saj please tweet about this. We need to raise voice against this Rizbar cancer.

He will now score a slow 50 and be a hero for rizwan cheerleaders

 

[imshally81]

Lucky leg byes

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan 's tuk tuk caused that wicket.

%

 

[mango_bite77]

Just tuned in, what an embarrassing innings by Rizwan and Babar. Shameless people didn't allow poor Ayub to open the innings. Deserve to loose

 

[Champ_Pal]

If Pak are patient enough, SA bowlers will bowl short and wide or down the leg side a couple of deliveries every over.

 

[TheSultan]

What an anchor lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's all clout

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I don't think any of the Pak batters besides Saim even know the meaning of intent. India with their squad of rookies were smashing 250+ on these pitches.

 

[mominsaigol]

Watching rizwan is so frustrating smh

 

[TheSultan]

18 off 24 balls? Is this a test match?

 

[Blackbradman]

missed out on a easy boundary

 

[Slim]

Lol rizwan trying to escape the strike as much as possible. What a shameless individual.

 

[Omer2002]

Rizzy is seriously making my blood.boil
