South Africa (210/3) defeat Pakistan (206/5) by 7 wickets to clinch the 3-match T20I series by an unassailable lead of 2-0

[jnaveen1980]

15 wides in a T20 game.!!

 

[NeVerMind]

Ifthikar might be average but he would be lethal in these kind of true bounce pitches with these mediocre medium pacers. He would have scored a 40 ball 100 here. Especially in SA conditions where the ball travels. These kind of conditions for ideal for most T20 hacks who are good against medium pacers.

Delusional...only time he scored a 100 was when he played against Nepal...Chacha Ifti was holing out to the likes of David Warner and Steve Smith in the warm up against the Aussies in one of the last limited overs World Cup...alongside HappyHeart, worst so called finisher to have put on a Pakistan jersey in a very long time

 

[jamie smith]

saim missed his ton but this might truly be the start of saim era

Both iftikhar and kushdil are awful but it doesn't change the fact that Usman and tayyab are far worse.

 

[mazkhan]

Harsh on saim deserved a 100 played an absolute gem

 

[sweep_shot]

Saim is not out on 98.

Heartbreaking.

 

[emranabbas]

Calm down mate...been watching cricket live since the 90s with the likes of Razzaq, Azhar Mehmood and Afraid launching it into the upper stands at Lord's and Oval...forget them, hacks like Usman and Tayib don't even compare to the likes of Gul and or even a Naveed Ul Rana with the bat...

This is exactly is the problem you been watching cricket since the 90's and still stuck in the 90's and watch t20 as a shorter format of odi.

For t20 nothing wrong with his skill and mindset
He's just timing the ball wrong just like what saim was doing untill he found rythem in forgein conditions once usman find his rhythm he will be a top batsmen

 

[jamie smith]

usman and tayyab should be replaced by nafay and haris

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Both iftikhar and kushdil are awful but it doesn't change the fact that Usman and tayyab are far worse.

Fakhar and Haris should replace them in the short term.

Haris
Saim
Fakhar
Babar
Niazi

that's a decent top 5 with some flare & power hitting in the mix.

 

[khyberlion]

usman and tayyab should be replaced by nafay and haris

Both would do a much better job then these 2 who are tail enders against pace.

 

[NeVerMind]

Both iftikhar and kushdil are awful but it doesn't change the fact that Usman and tayyab are far worse.

That's why I rather go for youngsters than tried and tested failures like Chacha or HapyHeart...give the likes of Omair or even bring back Harris to have a go...Usman and Tayib probably already in their mid 30s so we just wasting our time with them

 

[AAli98]

Pakistani cricketers are such awful teammates. Denied Saim a well deserved century today. Shameful stuff.

Well played Saim.

Team comes first that’s why Aus has 50 icc titles & Indians are still counting tendulkars individual records.

maybe in Diddy’s world … he is not average. He is more of Mediocre player who will perform 1 out of 100 matches against Nepal…

The point keeps going over your head...I know how modern T20 is to be played (without fear of losing wickets aka Bazball)..but Usman and Tayib are not the answer...best to go with youngsters bar Fakhar who deserves a return

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klaasen special awaits Centurion

 

[jnaveen1980]

Supersports park matches are always entertaining. Especially the vibe is great here.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

He could ve asked for him not to hit but whatever he felt he didnt ask for that and thats good enough. Its okay if he is a bit sad about missing out on a century. He is 22

Lol, Ayub was heard pleading Abbas to take a single many times on stump mic and was visibly annoyed when the ball went for 4. Anyway he deserved a 100, could've not slowed down in the 90s and was also dropped at 96 so yeah it all evens out but he will be getting many 100s in the future.

 

[Mohraheem]

Thank you

Haris
Saim
Fakhar
Babar
Niazi

Looks much better without Usman Khan, Tayyab. Hopefully fakhar finds his form he looks woeful at the moment, but can't be worse then Usman and tayyab.

Omair is a good talent who can hit pace and spin . I would personally want him to get a run at opening with saim.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely

4-0

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar and Haris should replace them in the short term.

Haris
Saim
Fakhar
Babar
Niazi

that's a decent top 5 with some flare & power hitting in the mix.

Babar needs to go just because of his mentality (like calling Saim to slow down when he was in full flow)...for him, a score of 160 is sufficient

 

[Rana]

They said there will be dew 2nd innings btw

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

 

[Rana]

The next AB Devilliers apparently

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jahandad thori jaan bana

 

[Ahmed216]

Jahandad can move it both ways from very good areas.
Test match prospect

 

[jnaveen1980]

new ball swing is posing problem for SA openers. Under lights.

 

[jnaveen1980]

These guys have zero footwork lol Just stands and swings. Breetzke, Rickleton.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Afridi playing these matches?

 

[Rana]

A bit of Hashim Amla in that last shot by Hendricks

 

[jnaveen1980]

A bit of Hashim Amla in that last shot by Hendricks

He is a bit more orthodox compared to the other guys.

 

[castortroy]

Such a good batting track

 

[AAli98]

Jahandad Aqibs Lahore qalandars parchi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bang bang

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jahandad Aqibs Lahore qalandars parchi

Pakistan is full of them

 

[Human786]

relaxxxx boyz 1-1

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jahandad gets 2nd wicket

 

[Human786]

29/2 told you kids

 

[RidiculousMan]

Expected that bouncer from Jahandad after 3 slower balls. But the batter couldn't predict

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa need 179 runs in 95 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to stop the boundaries to build pressure. A few tight overs will make the required rate up

 

[G0rmintAunty]

That kid's expression has great meme potential.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Clint eastwood is not a good T20 player. Better ODI player though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Virat Hendricks lol

 

[Hellion]

Trundler gets smoked for 2 sixes by Reeza

 

[sindhiboy]

Haris Rauf gonna save SA it seems, the South Africans love bashing him

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX SIX

Reza on fire here

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is tough to maintain this rate for 20 overs against decent pace attack

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris Rauf gonna save SA it seems, the South Africans love bashing him

Who doesn't

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bang Bang Hendricks

Another monster hit 6

 

[Rana]

Hendricks chakking the phattey

 

[adi_62941]

this score can be easily chaeable if one batsmen plays all overs

 

[castortroy]

SA should chase this

Such a flat wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

this score can be easily chaeable if one batsmen plays all overs

If you don't bowl filth you can restrict teams below 175 here. SA bowled a lot of filth. Can Pakistan match that filth? Only way SA can win

 

[castortroy]

What a shot.

I did this was a 230 wicket

 

[Rana]

Kyaa baat hai Reeza ki

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klaasen can't wait

 

[mominsaigol]

Will be a close game

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are they bowling seamers to Hendricks?

 

[Rana]

One boundary is too short

 

[NeVerMind]

If Babar was at the other end, he would be telling Reza to slow down!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ramiz Raja offers pearls of wisdom

 

[Rana]

Some very similar shot styles with Amla

The elbow extension

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RVD as a T20 batter is even more pathetic than Rizwan.

Last 29 matches , average 23 and strike rate 114.

Extremely mediocre T20 cricketer. Can only smash it in PSL maybe

 

[NeVerMind]

Nice comeback from Afridi after getting smacked for 6 first ball...I like the attitude from this kid

 

[Rana]

Abrar is the key here

Seamers are going to go

 

[emranabbas]

.l

 

[jnaveen1980]

RVD is very weak against spin. They can easily tie him down.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

RVD what a six lol

 

[castortroy]

Klaasen will bring the game home.

Boundaries are too small

 

[adi_62941]

Very very easy target

 

[Human786]

wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's not out

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Always the same: when Pakistan is able to score the opposition scores even heavier.

When we make 200 its usually a 250 wicket. That's our problem.

 

[Human786]

wicket

oops

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RVD batting should help PAK.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Always the same: when Pakistan is able to score the opposition scores even heavier.

When we make 200 its usually a 250 wicket. That's our problem.

But Pakistan has better bowling attack than SA bowling attack. So that target should be revised based on that.

 

[boomboomcheema]

No respite for Pakistan.
