That too without main bowlers

Saim and Nawaz get a lot of credit for keeping them under 200.

Pakistan only 10 runs in last 2 overs

Brilliant

Nikhil_cric · 2025-10-28T16:39:59+0000

Yet again, it's the left handers who have really taken apart Pakistani bowling - QDK, Linde, De Zorzi.

Even in the Asia Cup matches against India, it was Abhishek in the first two matches and Dube and Tilak in the final

Sometimes Nawaz bowls, sometimes Faheem, but never together
:kp

Nikhil_cric · 2025-10-28T16:41:22+0000

I believe, in PSL X, average score at Pindi was around 210.

Wasim Ghulam · 2025-10-28T16:41:31+0000

i just have hard time in understanding why Faheem is in team if he does nt bowl on batting friendly surfaces? i hope some expert on this forum can explain his utility

Babar is 9 runs behind Rohit. @heddie19 all time top scorer in T20I soon...only in Pak would you see an ATG in T20I being dropped for tullas like Agha, Talat, Happy Heart and other no names. Shameful.

Really hoping for him to score big and chase down this total here. Although the ball is keeping low here.

Nasty Naz · 2025-10-28T16:42:27+0000

Really good two last overs from Naseem & Shaheen but man were they terrible in the PP. I don't think the pitch is that easy to bat on like Pakistan made SA batters look and my guess is it will still be a struggle to chase this.

thats not how cricket strategy works. you play either one and nof together if they dnt bowl together

Pitch is not easy. SA struggled after PP

Human786 · 2025-10-28T16:44:18+0000

should be a easy chase ...

Hesson seems to like it.

He seems to think Faheem and Nawaz are good enough as specialist bats, bowling is just a bonus depending on conditions.

ads101 · 2025-10-28T16:44:56+0000

Great finish by us. Should have been a lot more. This is a high scoring pitch so hopefully we should win this.

Energy · 2025-10-28T16:45:55+0000

Will be fun watching this chase.

Wickets will be lost. Game will be taken deep. Shaheen, Naseem and Abrar will have to bat for 1/3rd of the overs.

SA needs their own 31 for 9 to win this one

Ahmed216 · 2025-10-28T16:49:00+0000

South Africa have seen what's working on this pitch. They'll bowl within stumps

He bowled all four overs and opened the bowling attack in the final.

It's about using the options available according to match situations.

Saim looks totally out of touch

Nasty Naz · 2025-10-28T16:57:06+0000

Saim really looks like a player with little confidence in his batting right now. Either premeditated shots or half hearted shots.

m.shah · 2025-10-28T16:57:56+0000

Ramiz trolling Saim

I have never heard this before for a bowling all rounder that bats at Number 8 or 9 and often only plays 5-10 Balls. It looks like he cant bowl in certain conditions. if thats the case why is he in the 11 with this limitation ?

You’d think his bowling performances would boost his confidence when it comes to batting, but nope.

Asif321 · 2025-10-28T17:09:05+0000

Saim needs to be dropped enough now

Energy · 2025-10-28T17:09:14+0000

Saim has lost all confidence and it's sad to see him bat with so much timidness. Needs to retire out here and make way for the king.

Ahmed216 · 2025-10-28T17:09:31+0000

Horribly out of touch Saim Ayub

Asad T · 2025-10-28T17:10:03+0000

2 (7), saim really struggling. he just needs to take a single and get farhan on strike

Sunny_majoka · 2025-10-28T17:10:05+0000

Saim should be dropped if he doesn't perform in this series

Nasty Naz · 2025-10-28T17:10:14+0000

lol Saim seems so broken. Literally has zero clue how to bat right now.

Asif321 · 2025-10-28T17:10:19+0000

Hopefully Fakhar comes back and saim out

We are batting at the same pace as we did in Dubai lol

Wasim Ghulam · 2025-10-28T17:12:29+0000

Saim Ayub.. another player with limitations.. No off side play... Ngidi balls were there to be cover driven.. Saim Trying to hoick every ball on leg side. who said we un earthed another anwar.. i wanna smash that guy so bad

Nasty Naz · 2025-10-28T17:13:12+0000

It's jokes how poor Pakistani batters are even in their own conditions. SA showing our batters how they need to bat on the home ground within the PP.

Human786 · 2025-10-28T17:13:17+0000

Why can't local posters go eat the grub sitting in the stadium ... out

He was very good before injury playing all sides of the ground, don't know what happened to him,

jnaveen1980 · 2025-10-28T17:15:16+0000

I think they have shots only against certain lengths. Saim keeps on trying the same shot for every length

As usual, garbage batting group performing like garbage. They are going at run a ball in Pindi lol...

Energy · 2025-10-28T17:16:23+0000

Lizard bowled a tight over with controlled line and length. Basic stuff that Shaheen and Naseem are too cool to follow.

jnaveen1980 · 2025-10-28T17:16:26+0000

Nikhil_cric · 2025-10-28T17:17:51+0000

Teams can explode after the 8th over even and still chase such totals in Pindi. Question is whether PAK have the players to do that

Energy · 2025-10-28T17:18:21+0000

This too shall pass. Kohli also got out for a duck.
