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

[shaz619]

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

I the Pakistan batting has peaked with him, now it’s time for a toilet break while Rizwan’s still there, refresh cricinfo every now and then / post on here about how horrible he is

 

[Zeshan547]

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

And the only one who can do it, is not selected for a freaking tweet. What a clown show.

 

[Blackbradman]

This is atrocious batting against atrocious bowling

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Linde is always useful against Pakistan

 

[Sunny_majoka]

I hope rizwan gets out now

 

[Omer2002]

Absolute jokers these are

 

[followed]

Rizwan should retire after this shameless innings.

 

[shaz619]

This is why they kept Fakhar out, these two bit SOB’s

 

[Rana]

20 off 26

How’s this acceptable

 

[Slim]

This is why they kept Fakhar out, these two bit SOB’s

Shazzy bear we need that grizzly attack on them

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan are lucky to have a responsible batter like Rizwan who can anchor the inning.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman Rizwan is the one that will make it happen

 

[shaz619]

Ah man those Saim shots were glorious to watch though, that’s cricket porn right there, the lad has made his point

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bach gya Usman Khan

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Terrible shot and a terrible attempt at a catch

 

[Nasty Naz]

Kaptaan with a 19 off 25 innings so far. Such unserious players we have.

 

[mango_bite77]

What the hell us Rizwan doing ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman gets a life

 

[Blackbradman]

Dropped an easy catch

 

[Zeshan547]

20 off 26

How’s this acceptable

They are not even trying, atleast make it less obvious. Shame is not the word on their dictionary.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why does Usman hit the ball like he is 16 year old playing a tape ball match?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kaptaan with a 19 off 25 innings so far. Such unserious players we have.

Captain marvellous booming

 

[shaz619]

The mexican wave going on in the crowd, Rizwan may as well join it. Useless useless guy.

 

[Blackbradman]

South Africa’s fielding is not upto the mark today

 

[Omer2002]

Hahahajqj what a joke.try to hit big shid have been simple chanve

 

[Bhaijaan]

20 off 26

How’s this acceptable

He’s holding one end tight like Javed Miandad used to do.

 

[Slim]

South African bowlers saving Rizwan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why does Usman hit the ball like he is 16 year old playing a tape ball match?

Probably in his mind he's still 16 and playing tape ball

 

[Blackbradman]

Man, Rizwan batting like a tailender

 

[Slim]

He’s holding one end tight like Javed Miandad used to do.

It seems more like Sunny G.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Rizwan needs to get out asap, he's just wasting valuable deliveries

 

[Champ_Pal]

Never seen someone miss the ball in the air that bad. It could be flood lights, but it looks borderline suspicious. His hands did not even come down to catch the ball.

 

[shaz619]

The fielder dropped a catch while in awe of why Rizwan is so shockingly bad, poor fella, Rizwan’s destroying careers on both sides of the pitch

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ah man those Saim shots were glorious to watch though, that’s cricket porn right there, the lad has made his point

He's the only reason anyone would even watch this lineup. Rest of the lineup is just ugly and not watchable at all.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Most of the runs are from Saim and wides

 

[Sunny_majoka]

What is rizwan doing?

 

[Rana]

Very soon the required rate will be 12

 

[Ali Active]

this besharm rizwan has no shame still opened with babar while saim being in the team

 

[kingusama92]

Rizwan is just stat padding here under the guise of being an accumulator.

This is a ridiculous approach to T20 batting.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman gone this time

Can't make it his day with the life he got last over

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

This is like watching an amateur cricket side

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwans tuktuk is terrible & Usman has looked useless as well.

 

[followed]

Lol the hack Usman Khan . Just kick him out.
What a poor player.

 

[NeVerMind]

Should have been 3 tests instead of these useless T20s

 

[Omer2002]

21 off 30 lovely innings by kaptaaan

 

[Blackbradman]

Hack goes

 

[Slim]

These guys cant even cross 70 meter boundaries

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Usman played poorly today. Didn't middle a ball

 

[castortroy]

As expected, this joke of a batting line up, letting the team down

 

[mango_bite77]

Tullay baz gone, but can't blame him at least he tried

 

[Bhaijaan]

Usman bhai not able to keep up the anchoring momentum with Rizwan The Rizzler.

 

[Omer2002]

Should have been 3 tests instead of these useless T20s

No no i wud hate to lose 3 0 in 2 dayas

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This guy is absolutely horrible

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

How is Usman still playing, we've spoken at length about him comon

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan are lucky to have a responsible batter like Rizwan who can anchor the inning.

You are rubbing salt into the wounds of die hard Pak fans.

 

[TheSultan]

Rizwan’s pressure will get everyone out at the other end. He’ll remain not out and his die hard fans will say “how can you blame the guy who didn’t get out”.

We’ve seen this movie before many times with Misbah and Rizwan himself

 

[followed]

Rizwan if he has some shame would retire from t20is with immediate effect.
What a terrible knock.

 

[NeVerMind]

Even Shaan Masood is better than the RizBar combo...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

These guys cant even cross 70 meter boundaries

50 isn't helping them develop

 

[Zeshan547]

That's an insult to tailenders, meanwhile Usman the spin basher is out in trying to bash. Tragic comedy is a real thing.

 

[Asad T]

Wth is Riz doing
Sr of 73 when chasing 180+ is just pathetic

 

[Ahmed216]

Tailenders batting in top order

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Rizwan straight into stat padding mode now. Operation saya corp initiated

 

[Fazzy321]

Usman the hack gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistanis are worrying too much. Rizwan has got this.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Usman Khan was batting like Viv in the last edition of PSL. Now he is batting like Kemar Roach.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

22 off 30 being T20 opener is beyond disgraceful.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Riz needs to win us this match

 

[Blackbradman]

Expecting Shaheen and Abbas afridi to win it with the bat

 

[Rana]

Now Tayyab will play his hand to save Rizwan’s opening spot

 

[shaz619]

He's the only reason anyone would even watch this lineup. Rest of the lineup is just ugly and not watchable at all.

I use to watch Sharjeel for similar reasons, the PP overs are made for such batters, it’s a shame Rizwan & Babar are getting away with this until now. With the type of cricket they play, I’m certain they will alienate international fanbase as well, they can shove the ‘brand’ they speak of where the sun don’t shine when they play like that

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Usman Khan was batting like Viv in the last edition of PSL. Now he is batting like Kemar Roach.

Have you seen the state of the players in domestics? Anyone would look like prime Ranatunga against them

 

[Slim]

Ramiz completely silent about Rizwan’s approach. Not surprised at all.

 

[mominsaigol]

Riz needs to win us this match

The way he's going atm, He seeks to be doing the opposite.

I have more hopes from tayyab then from rizzu.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tayyab Tahir, the man with fire in his eyes.

 

[Fazzy321]

Can’t really blame Saim here was his job until a brain fade. It’s not Saim job to carry the lineup

 

[emranabbas]

After 10 overs why rizwan still playing at a strike rate of 70?

 

[Rana]

Ramiz completely silent about Rizwan’s approach. Not surprised at all.

He is saying Rizwan holds the key

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan putting unnecessary pressure on the incoming batsmen, you can't win games like that. Rizwan needs to contribute too

 

[mominsaigol]

Now Tayyab will play his hand to save Rizwan’s opening spot

You see this is a very patient innings from rizwan. Rizwan always bats his heart out maintaining that 40 avg. I think I'll take him in my atg team over Inzimam at no 4 tbh.

Afterall, Inzi couldn't perform in icc events while rizwan always bats his heart out.
