South Africa (270/2) crush Pakistan (269/9) by 8 wickets to level the 3-match ODI series at 1-1

[Rana]

by that logic everyone should have skull cap and beard . Following Sunnah is a personal choice , it is encouraged but not a thing you can impose on anyone. Rizwan does follow, good on him he has his own choice . As long as he follows all the rules .

well i can’t comment on what he does in private life . If he is doing for “
Show off “ then indeed this is all waste. But if he really is doing just to follow sunnah where ever he can then okay good on him .

Well, he’s not the same Rizwan that emerged in 2015-16.

There have been great religious cricketers in the past who have consistently remained the same with their religious ethics. Hashim Amla being a prime example.

He was the same before he was famous, and the same after he was famous.

Also, I’ve never noticed his ankles.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Bring in hasan nawaz next match instead of talat, he has better technique against spin, atleast test him properly.

Well they can name a stone and keep it in the Pakistan dugout and dont play in any match , straightaway it becomes world beaters..

In the last 2 games ( 3rd T20I and 1st ODI ) he had simple task which is to stay there score 10 runs to see the team home , can face 15 balls for that np but he failed miserably... How can he comeback just for sitting one game out lol...

 

[Devadwal]

Good to see commies are talking about Agha slow batting and exposing the statpadding test knock @RyanRyan10 @Rana

 

[gazza619]

hopefully this is the last game for Talat & Wasim jnr. Two ordinary cricketers who would struggle to get in any team.

 

[gazza619]

New ODI kaptana smashed by Africa.

Need the original kaptana back

 

[Devadwal]

What a mighty six by QDK . This is proper hammering

 

[Rana]

Need the original kaptana back

He can be the captain of the first of the 3 teams of KPK

Not Pakistan. Thanks

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Against their C team they're struggling on such wickets in their own backyard.

Exactly, struggling against C teams from diff countries ever since ODI cricket returned to Pak

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa showing Pakistan how to play in their own backyard. What an incredibly horrific display from Pakistan.

Didn't NZ show them recently with 3 wins on the bounce

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Need the original kaptana back

If Shaheen will be made captain , then Rizwan can stay as captain forever...

NO idea what was Aaqib and Hesson smoking when they come up with this decision...

 

[SportsWarrior]

i think i have better players in my local club than this talat guy. why is he playing for Pakistan? absolutely poor, like he shouldn't be anywhere near any international or even state teams.

 

[RehanG]

This is not just a defeat but a humiliating one.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

QDKs 200 robbed here...

 

[Asif321]

So,

Pakistan players who sit down to drink water following Sunnah at drinks breaks are breaking the Sunnah by not exposing their ankles with their trousers?

You aren’t getting it . There are many sunnahs which we don’t follow( and that doesn’t make you any less Muslim ) . Some just are very particular about it and want to live a life completely following all sunnats while some don’t . For example drinking water by sitting down is common Muslim sunnah practice but eating with fork and spoon is not sunnah but is that bad ? No it’s not .

Conclusion I want to make is Rizwan follows rigorously ( whether it’s for show off or not) I can’t comment on that but that doesn’t mean if other players don’t do what he is doing makes them any less Muslim .

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Talat- Can't bat, can't bowl lol

 

[gazza619]

He can be the captain of the first of the 3 teams of KPK

Not Pakistan. Thanks

KPK is an important part of Pakistan producing most of the talent. Not sure why the hate for your own people

 

[Kianig89]

Where was the game lost today ?

Maybe RizBar failed, so the team failed

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pakistan will get the bonus point

 

[gazza619]

This loss is good for us. Team needs to realise that 300+ is bare minimum in ODIs these days.

If RizBar fail, Pakistan fails.

 

[RehanG]

Where was the game lost today ?

Maybe RizBar failed, so the team failed

23-3

And after regrouping, played way too slow.

 

[Kianig89]

Maybe SSA decision to bat 1st proved costly

 

[Asif321]

I don’t see Shaheen captaining for long . He should have been T20 captain rather than ODI . Once he loses couple of series he will lose his mind

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan relies on Fakhar babar Riz

 

[Josh]

Dominant win by SA

 

[Devadwal]

I don’t see Shaheen captaining for long . He should have been T20 captain rather than ODI . Once he loses couple of series he will lose his mind

Shaheen dropped Abrar to select Faheem , he will always prefer pace instead chose the playing Eleven based on conditions.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This loss is good for us. Team needs to realise that 300+ is bare minimum in ODIs these days.

If RizBar fail, Pakistan fails.

If Rizbar performs, Pakistan fails.

Have been failing in tournaments for last 2 years.

Dont give false info.

 

[Kianig89]

Really playing at 65 SR has no business in modern cricket, were these runs valuable for team ?

 

[Josh]

Riz Bar Sal all 3 would have been booted out if Pakistan had some good replacements.

 

[SherWaqar]

Pakistan is a boring, uninspiring team. Absolutely useless.

 

[Sachin fan]

Where was the game lost today ?

Maybe RizBar failed, so the team failed

Yet the team scored more than last game

We will defeat Pakistan anywhere in the World 10 out of 10 times. Play whoever you want to play.

Starrt the Preparation for World T20 2026 as we will thrashed Pakistan yet again.

Problem is we have not developed players for modern era these type of players rizwan babar salman are old type 250 270 mindset now modern teams are looking at 320 plus as part score there is no quick fix

 

[indianpanacea]

Yeh to hona hi tha...Thatz what I have been telling.Pakistsn team selection is disaster.if u can't win against South Africa B in your own background forget about the world cup dreams...Need drastic changes in attitude and short making.I would suggest for ODIs
Fakhar
Babar
Kamran Ghulam
Tayyab Tahir
Irfan khan
Rohail Nazir
Saim Ayub(Batting allrounder)
Hassan Ali(Bowling allrounder)
Shaheen
Abrar
Ali Raza
Remaining members of squad
Rizwan
Sufiyan muqeem
M.Nawaz
Naseem shah
Khurram shehzad
Haider Ali

@Rana @RyanRyan10 won't agree with bolded parts. They think Agha is modern T20 player to lead Pakistan. He is selfless and Intent merchent player although stat suggest he is not even T20 player forget about modern T20 player.

@Rana Devdas gone mad

@Rana is still finding words to defend Agha match losing test knock .

 

[saabir]

The problem with Pakistan is that these are the best players available in pakistan. Salman Agha was MOM in last game. He is good enough player to play in ODI for Pakistan. Pakistan players game is best suited for 240-275 type of total ..they don't have the higher celing than that. They might score some odd 300 but that won't be regular.their players are not tailor made for that . Their fast bowlers are also over rated . Shaheen is overrated imo..they need to find 1 or 2 more young quick fast bowler who have the hunger and potential to become match winner. Shaheen and Naseem are good supporting bowlers they are not outstanding bowler. Pakistan need someone who can lead this pack.

 

[saabir]

One thing I don't understand why they decided to chase after won the first game by chasing.. their team management is dumb..in first ODI it was cloudy so new dew on that day. Today it was clear sky which make chances for dew certainly. In dew conditions you need to score more than 20-25 above par to be on a safer side.. whoever taking these decisions need to be held accountable imo..

 

[Devadwal]

He’s acting like he found out Paro is pregnant.

You must be feeling pain seeing your team smashed by South Africa team at home . Did you check-up the your favourite Wk Azam khan ? Khi wo. .....

 

[JaDed]

For all the beef comments from random posters over the last decade it’s clear it does nothing for PCT batsmen, PCT becomes most boring team with power hitting.

After that champion trophy happened and Pakistan knockout without winning any matches

And no Africa didn't play with full strength team in gat series as well.

 

[Snowflake]

True .... Only if they accept and work on it, but they accept for the fans and infront of the media... Have they worked on it , they shoud have atleast playing better in 2025... This problem is there ever since Misbah was playing as captain from 2011 onwards... For the last 15 years these guys hv never learned but everytime they learning from mistakes and not repeat them been fed up of hearing the same....

That’s true. But it also makes me think if it’s in fact a skillet issue and not a mindset issue

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Faheem Ashraf in a post match press conference:

*Q: Assalam-o-Alaikum, Bilal Muniruddin. Tell us about today’s match.*
*A:* Wa-Alaikum-Salaam. We chose to bat first today, even though we won the previous match by bowling first. It was a collective decision, not a misreading of the pitch. Initially, we aimed for 300, but early wickets set us back. Thankfully, we recovered well.

*Q: Was the decision to bat first influenced by pitch or weather conditions?*
*A:* The choice to bat or bowl is made jointly by the team and management. It’s not about blaming the captain, coach, or players. Last match, we didn’t experience dew, which gave us more grip. This time, we expected dew in the second half, but it didn’t come early.

*Q: Why is the lower order consistently underperforming?*
*A:* It’s part of cricket. No one gets out intentionally. Everyone tries their best. Sometimes the top order collapses, but we’ve shown resilience. From 15-20 runs for 3 wickets, we still managed 270, which was a competitive score given the conditions.

*Q: Could the bowling have been better in the second half?*
*A:* Yes, I believe our bowling lineup could’ve performed better. It was tough to defend, but we’ll learn and improve.

*Q: Will there be changes in fielding strategy for the next match?*
*A:* Fielding is all about energy and effort—it doesn’t require talent. We’ll discuss it as a team and you’ll see a stronger Pakistan side in the next match.

*Q: How does it feel playing on your home ground?*
*A:* It’s a special feeling. I’ve played here in U19s. Unfortunately, we didn’t win today, but we’re focused on winning the third and final match to take the series.

*Q: Any changes in batting strategy for the final match?*
*A:* That will be decided in the team meeting based on pitch conditions. We’ll adapt accordingly.

*Q: Pakistan is known for world-class batsmen, but others like De Kock and Zorzi have performed better on this pitch. Why?*
*A:* True, they’ve done well here. Our batsmen haven’t clicked yet, but InshaAllah, you’ll see a turnaround in the next match.

*Q: As an experienced batsman, do you think the captain made any tactical errors, especially against left-handers?*
*A:* The captain makes judgment calls. We can advise, but the final decision is his. He’s used all bowlers, including Agha and Saim, to break partnerships. He tried every option available.

 

[JaDed]

I personally think cast iron is the best.

Shaheen Shah Afridi in a post match presentation:

"It's a little bit tough, but I think Saim and Agha did very well and their partnership helped us a little bit. Three wickets early and then 270, I think that was a good score. Unfortunately, the drop catches cost us. If you win always, then you can't see what's going on around you. But I think we will come back strongly. We will come back strongly."

O stop purveying this choran, how can PCT or Sri Lankan team ever qualify for final on basis of what we have seen in Women WC. Rain will spoil party besides PCT can't succeed until they continue playing with right guys for long. With highly politicized system, it is difficult to make big strides in short while.

So rain was exucse for Pakistan and Lankan women's to not qualified for semifinals/ Final ?

This is same system which have won 3 ICC trophy for Pakistan so no more system exucse because Pakistan peoples like Naqvi so you deserve it.

Afghanistan a war torn country without any system has been qualified for semifinals of last T20 World Cup.
