South Africa beat Pakistan by 13 runs (DLS method) in the third ODI to take 2-1 series lead

[shah_1]

Shadab has been horrible

Club level

 

[Asif321]

Easy target for SA now pitch is good
And imam made drama of it as if he was playing in mine field with 50/3

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wara joke.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hmm. Ball not griping

 

[babajee]

Hendricks of all people

 

[Greenstorm]

Rain didn't helped us at all

 

[a_tahir]

Shadab has been horrible

Club level

It was expected after the break.
The ball isn't easy to handle

 

[JibranAnsari]

South africa will get there with 5 overs to spare

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rain cost pak the match

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab has been horrible

Club level

Dont forget they are bowling with a wet ball

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Is it difficult to grip the ball now? Pak bowlers getting hammered.

 

[Fahdi]

I think Shadab can't grip the ball properly because of the wet conditions.

 

[Hasan123]

Faf will look to bat through it seems. Hendricks taking the attack to us and releasing the pressure off Faf.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Time for change

 

[Green Patriot]

Tobah hai Hendricks.
Kya mazak hai.

If we bowl well we dont have runs when we have runs we dont bowl well.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Time for some Hafeez

 

[shah_1]

SA favourites right now

Match winnings by Reeza but the match isn't over yet. One wicket can change everything

 

[xricket]

Gonna lose this one, boys. Bowling too short and too wide. And captain saifi doesn't put slips in, so to not pick wicket at all

 

[Snowflake]

Lol, people! SA is here to play as well. 182 runs is still long way to go! A wicket here would change everything

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to get Hafeez on

 

[ask_analyse_act]

need to bring shaheen and amir back to bowl a mix of slower balls...

 

[m.shah]

Rain has helped sa here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So guys has your opinion changed on Imam?

 

[neonoir]

If Hendricks bats the next 10 overs the game will be taken away from Pakistan. Need to get him out asap!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Tobah hai Hendricks.
Kya mazak hai.

If we bowl well we dont have runs when we have runs we dont bowl well.

Because when we are able to score runs the wicket has to be really good!

Usually we win when there is some spin under lights.

 

[Hasan123]

Ahaha Greame Smith complaining about too many options .

 

[Green Patriot]

Reeza has taken De Kock's runout to heart and is making up for it.

 

[Greenstorm]

Hendricks' wicket will bring us back into the game.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen poor legside length

Why is this guy appealing after hitting the guys stomach?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pitch not doing much for the bowlers. There doesn't seem to be any plans in the bowling or the fielding as they're just running in and going through the notions.

 

[Green Patriot]

Because when we are able to score runs the wicket has to be really good!

Usually we win when there is some spin under lights.

Some day i'd like to see both together though

 

[Ahmed216]

So guys has your opinion changed on Imam?

No, he played very well.
Things were not so easy for Saffers before the rain break

 

[Hasan123]

Decent over from Afridi.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Need to mix it up for Reeza, he will give it away

 

[shah_1]

Sixxxx

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shadab continues

 

[imshally81]

Why shadab again

 

[Rana]

4 runs in that over. Keep pace bowlers on for a bit

 

[Madplayer]

Massive 6. They are taking Shadab on.

 

[shah_1]

Sa will win this

 

[Markhor]

Another over given to Shadab ?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

stop shadab man.. clueless sarfraz

 

[jewel1985]

If rain comes now right at this moment and washes the game out England win right?

 

[Greenstorm]

So guys has your opinion changed on Imam?

His innings might just cost us this game just like it did against Bangladesh.

 

[Madplayer]

Ball is turning. He just needs to land it in the right area.

 

[m.shah]

Sixer

 

[Mueez]

One wicket and the flood gate will open.

 

[NauV]

Is Sarfaraz not able to see that A.) Shadab is unable to grip and the wet ball is hampering him and B.) These guys are playing him pretty well . . so miight as well save him for when a wicket falls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Saheen afridi has to improve his fielding lol He doesn't get to the ball optimally.

 

[Green Patriot]

Messing with Shadab's psyche Faf is.

 

[Hasan123]

Not good enough from Shadab overall so far

 

[ask_analyse_act]

stupid sarfraz only good enough to shout from behind the stumps..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

His innings might just cost us this game just like it did against Bangladesh.

How did his innings cost Pakistan the game, I thought Imam was taking you guys home. He's a class act, I wish we had an opener like him.

 

[a_tahir]

One wicket and the flood gate will open.

Same thing we said in the last match

 

[DRsohail]

Looks like Imams batted too slow. Wasa 350 pitch.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaheen's fielding)

 

[xricket]

Shadab has been found out

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Shadab under the pump. With miller and Phehlukwayo, game is SA to lose

 

[Mueez]

Give Amir the ball Safraz!

 

[shah_1]

Shadab isn't bowling the right length. The ball is turning. It's too full or short.

 

[Mansoor3120]

Congrats SA

 

[Deewana Mastana]

167 from 144 in favour of the home team for sure.

 

[AAli98]

Amla gave pak the first game, now ruthlessly getting xposed, as to what an average tram they are.

Oh well they’re will be a consolation t20i win & everything will be hunky dory..

 

[Green Patriot]

Do they even have a game plan?

 

[Madplayer]

A bit of reverse for Shaheen wow

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good cricket from SA.

 

[shah_1]

Looks like Imams batted too slow. Wasa 350 pitch.

Shadab has bowled horribly

 

[Mansoor3120]

Another bits and piece has been put into his place

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Is Sarfaraz not able to see that A.) Shadab is unable to grip and the wet ball is hampering him and B.) These guys are playing him pretty well . . so miight as well save him for when a wicket falls

he is dumb

 

[imshally81]

Need some dot balls here..

 

[a_tahir]

Why is shaheen bowling on the leg side so much?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Some day i'd like to see both together though

For that you need more stroke makers. Accumulators like Imam, Babar Malik waste a lot of deliveries on heavy batting tracks.

Also Pak's new ball pair is very poor.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen's fielding)

Even Holding picked up on it and put it down to inexperience but surely the fielding coach would have picked up on it by now.

At the boundary the way he ran and chased the ball to only see it go for 4 was

 

[Mueez]

Reversing

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

His innings might just cost us this game just like it did against Bangladesh.

317 is a good score and if Amir, Afridi & Hasan can't defend it then certainly need to bring Wahab back. Wahab is making all the BPL players shake, he's fast

 

[KingKhanWC]

One wicket and Pak will be back on top, even game as of now.

Hafeez an over or two would be a godo move.

 

[shah_1]

Good pace

 

[Hasan123]

No spark from the boys. What do you expect when Sarfraz is your captain?

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are hitting against shadab's turn. He can't do much when they do that. May be not enough drift or slowness in the pace.

 

[Rana]

No more Shadab for tonight hopefully
