South Africa beat Pakistan by six runs in first T20I to take 1-0 series lead

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar shuffling across to expose the leg stump.

 

[Greenstorm]

We are doing well. But i am forved to wonder what kind of a bowlong attack is this by SA. Is this their Z team?

They generally do not have good T20 bowlers.

 

[Slim]

True now you know how we felt when train of ur batsmen were compared to Sachin, Kohli, etc

Bobby is almost near to becoming Kohli's competition in world cricket in LOIs.

 

[saabir]

Very crucial phase for Pakistan. They usually bogged down during this phase. 6-14 overs are the key

 

[imshally81]

Good running..

 

[Madplayer]

Not out but really really risky run

 

[babajee]

Bobby is almost near to becoming Kohli's competition in world cricket in LOIs.

No. He's challenging the likes of Kane and Root atm in LOIs.

 

[yuvi]

SA trying their reserves. That's what all teams are doing in bilateral T20I series.

 

[imshally81]

Not out....

 

[JaDed]

Bobby is almost near to becoming Kohli's competition in world cricket in LOIs.

If you say so..

 

[Chokli]

keep going, no need to slow down.

asif ali needs to come in next

 

[Slim]

No. He's challenging the likes of Kane and Root atm in LOIs.

Which are Kohli's competition. Thats what i am saying. Hes not better than Kohli, but hes challenging for second best spot in the world.

 

[Madplayer]

Shamsi has arrived. Interesting period

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shamsi in. Wicket going down?

 

[Asif321]

Hahahaha talat )

 

[Billa86]

Here we go again.... Its too early to compare Babar with Virat. Babar needs to prove himself and win matches for Pakistan in crucial games. Virat has done this for India on numerous occasions.

 

[Slim]

If you say so..

Dont take me wrong, LOL. You know me better. This year is going to define Babar if he keeps on going like that as the second best to Kohli which will be an achievement in itself.

 

[shah_1]

Lol Talat

 

[JaDed]

Why would Shams take a wicket, has he been good against PCT or what?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Hussain Talat for all his bravado has 25 off 21. Needs to calm down and look for proper boundaries.

 

[rhony]

Talat should calm down. Pak's winning here. He should be there for atleast 5 more overs

 

[shah_1]

2 dots

 

[Madplayer]

Bobs needs to play out Shamsi

 

[Slim]

I love the saffer crowd - so energetic.

 

[Asif321]

Shamsi is real deal

 

[Chokli]

talat slowing down, come on mate

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Good over for SA

 

[Billa86]

RR slowly nearing 10. Need atleast one boundary an over and rotate the strike. Cricket is simple and lets not over complicate this.

 

[Asif321]

Will Malik come next or hide

 

[imshally81]

 

[Greenstorm]

Real test for these two now with the fielders outside the circle.

 

[rhony]

Shamsi is real deal

SA has an option of spin twins like India. Two wrist spinners

 

[Greenstorm]

Will Malik come next or hide

I hope he hides.

 

[shah_1]

8 runs from this over

 

[Asif321]

Talat answering critics

 

[Boi]

Shamsi is real deal

Lol no he isn’t. Trash bowler

 

[babajee]

Will Malik come next or hide

Should send Asif, Faheem, Imad, Hasan next in that order.

 

[Madplayer]

RRR 10.

Need a big over. 15 runs at least.

 

[rhony]

Bobby has evolved to the next level this year

He will be part of Fab5 instead of Fab 4 now- Kohli, Root, Kane, SMith if he continues

 

[Madplayer]

Talat misses far too many balls.

 

[Sirris]

Does Shamzi have a South asian backgroung. At least looks like it going by his fitness and physique.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfaz best friend bowling

 

[Billa86]

Talat answering critics

Not really, he struggled in ODI with SA preferred bowling option.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

He will be part of Fab5 instead of Fab 4 now- Kohli, Root, Kane, SMith if he continues

Joe Root has been replaced by Babar in the Fab 4

 

[ARK Rafay]

Talat's wild swings :/ Req. Run Rate getting up 10 now. Real pressure on

 

[rhony]

Talat misses far too many balls.

He is comfortable when bowled on the stumps. Outside off, he's just swinging

 

[shah_1]

Man Babar need to start hitting boundaries

 

[Greenstorm]

Babar cannot accelerate after PP. Thats his issue.

 

[JaDed]

PCT finally is able to rotate the strike,impressive this is where Dhoni's captaincy used to help us, to dry up runs.

 

[rhony]

Joe Root has been replaced by Babar in the Fab 4

Not yet. Root is still a gun ODI bat and a decent test bat. Babar needs big scores in tests. He has arrived

 

[Slim]

Talat is a misfit in t20Is. Hes trying his best though.

 

[MRSN]

No power game in Talat.

 

[shah_1]

RR creeping up

 

[saabir]

Pressure building up something going to happen. Pakistan are slow after PP

 

[imshally81]

Hit or out..

 

[Chokli]

talat screwing up the run rate

 

[Slim]

Babar cannot accelerate after PP. Thats his issue.

Agree.

 

[babajee]

Need a big over now.

 

[MRSN]

This is turning into a match losing knock by Talat.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pak still in a good position but need to go after Shamsi next over. Talat has to take him for a couple of sixes.

 

[rhony]

Need a big over in the next two overs.

 

[Rana]

Need a power hitter

 

[shariqnoor]

Wicket coming in this over. No hitting capability with these two.

 

[AAli98]

Babar cannot accelerate after PP. Thats his issue.

Starts to huff & puff after 8 overs very unfit player.

 

[a_tahir]

talat screwing up the run rate

He should just start striking now so asif ali can come.
A 35-40 off 20 balls will really help pak

 

[rhony]

Gotto attack Shamsi

 

[shah_1]

What is Babar doing after PP?

Really poor from him

 

[Asif321]

Easy for Pakistan considering we have experienced Malik
Clutched rizzu and butler Asif to come

 

[Fahdi]

Talat has accumulated far too many dots in the last 3 overs.

 

[Chokli]

talat has played 5 overs worth of balls for only 36

 

[Billa86]

The common issue with Pakistan batsmen is, they are playing for their spot rather than the team.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Pete Rose]

Babar want to rotate the strike, but this score requires both batsmen to go

 

[shah_1]

44

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Talat u sizzla

 

[Gullycricket]

Pathetic ball played for 1 by talat

 

[rhony]

Good shot... Need a couple more

 

[Hasan123]

Great shot by Talat. If he plays in ODIs he should bat up the order not at 7.

 

[imshally81]

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Asif Ali please
