What's new

South Africa defeat Pakistan by 7 runs in 2nd T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in T20I series

Sarfraz must be kicking himself streak had to break without him
Would be better if lost with him
 
Pathetic cricket and even poorer tactics - why you should allow to reach asking to 12, from 100/1 after 10!!!!!
 
Talat and Asif need to be dropped. If they cannot perform in these bilaterals, forget performing on the big stage. Asif has done zero since coming on to the stage. Talat is a mental midget. You see how he tried to crossbat everything towards the end.
 
The lesson in all this...

Teams rarely win chasing 180 odd...

Why we didn’t bat first is beyond me.
Why Shadab didn’t bowl his full quota is beyond me.

Talat should have been our 2 overs before he was finally out but can’t blsme the fellow..
He tried, just doesn’t have the game to smash sixes... good rotating strike etc etc

Imad should have come in ahead of Malik.

Shinwari bowling the last over was a big mistake.
 
Shinwari noball cost 13 runs 7+6
Malik epic failure
Talat greatest fifty of all time should be career over for them shoaib was thinking playing t20 till 2020 and beyond
5 overs 50 were needed when Babar got out on this pitch sarfraz should be happy plus hafeez
 
No way malik should have been captain
Too soft to be a kaptaan of Pakistan
Our players need dictator

A very inexperienced South Africa team won against a fairly experienced Pakistan team. Won't be surprised if they make it 3-0.
 
Players who came through merit.
Babar, Abbas.

Neglected.
Kamran, Asghar, Kamran Ghulam, Saad Ali, Saud Shakeel, Sadaf Hussain, Mir Hamza, Fawad Alam, Shan Masood and 100 others.

Sums up Cricket of Pakistan
 
Pakistan out-did South Africa today - in choking!!!

Seriously, with 7 wickets in hand, that game should have been won by professional teams - no excuses.
 
If there really is dearth of finishers in Pakistan, then i am sad to say we need to look up at Umar Akmal....
 
Was good game. Excellent batting by Miller followed by a class act by Babar Azam.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and well played SA for winning this match.
 
Biggest mistake was not taking pace off and bowling off and leg cutters by Pakistani bowlers....absolute joke it's next to impossible to hit 6s off off cutters on this pitch at 112kph
 
Babar looked so sad he tried everything he could but these hacks didn't support him:salute
 
Babar is like Sachin of old days...Plays a gem on innings only for teammates to **** their bed.
 
42runs 4 overs 9 wickets left and we lose.
Man of the series Hussain Talat.
Emerging Player Asif Ali.
Greatest hitter Hasan Ali
 
You got to give it to SA bowlers.. They adjusted well... Early on it was Babar's batting ability... If anyone thought blind slogging will win us this match... Please remember T20 matches can still be won by sensible batting....
 
Only way we can perform decent in WC. If Haris plays, Fakhar gets his luck and form back, and Hafeez comes after 25 overs.
 
Reality check for the so-called no. 1 team. This team is nothing without babar. No one has the firepower. No one can switch to the 2nd gear. All mediocre batsmen with no six hitting ability.

We are extremely out dated in all formats of the game. Our only hitting strategy is to cross bat everything whereas the rest of the world has now developed alternative strategies to hitting yorkers, slower deliveries, slower delivery bouncers for 4's and 6's.

The lack of IPL experience has hurt our players in the long run. Zero incentive to update their T-20 skills if they want the real money
 
In the morning a thought did come to my mind -" man wont it be a good day if india win after 18/4 and pakistan lose its t20 match today" and it came alive
 
These losses are all worth it. You'll see the real Pakistan in a few months from now.

Pakistani selectors should at least give all these ignored players a chance in T20Is. As this format is not taken so seriously, it is a good way to find out which players can play at the international level.

The pressure to perform and pressure to retain your spot in the IPL is nothing compared to the other leagues. The other T-20 leagues are more or less guaranteed to most of the international players and the pay is nothing compared to the IPL, if you are making $1.5 million in the IPL, you will go out of your way to work on your skills, fitness to retain that pay cheque going forward.

No way. How can our seniors and golden boys show some performance in T20s? Let alone ODIs and Test
 
Bunch of rookies outclassed the No.1 T20 team!!!!! Not at all expected from Pakistan because they take this format most seriously than all other teams.....
 
actually pakistani players all have the talent but the problem is in crunch situations under pressure they end up taking wrong decisions or playing wrong shots & hence loose the battle.

They were like 100/1 in 10 overs ! Honestly I thought they would win by 16th over !

I would like someone to answer this question for me...

Malik thought he was good enough to open the bowling in the first match...
Then why did he bring Fakhar for one over when he could have bowled it himself?

Shadab had the second best economy rate and everyone knew it was a wicket for slower bowlers, then why did he not bowl his quota and Hasan not bowl the last over???

This are basic things...

But knowing our strength is defending scored then why would you bowl first??

Oh dear god!!
 
Asif Ali's sole job in the team is to make quickfire 20-25 runs. If only he had done his job shinwari's last over, talat's inning nothing would have mattered but the hack miserably failed to do his job, that cost Pakistan both matches.

However, Shinwari & Asif Ali both are good find for Ramzan Tape ball night tournament.

Actually it's common sense. Pak's only success has been against minnows. Apart from the CT 17 win Pak has been obliterated by any top 5 side.

It's all big hype and no performance against the big sides.
 
If you have players who can play proper cricket shots even this score could have been achieved. First of all please get rid of Azhar Mahmood , these bowlers have lost it how to bowl Yorkers. It was another game lost which could have been easily won . As I said it yesterday Hussain Talat is just not the batsman for this format and I rather play Asad Shafiq over Asif Ali . Sounds blasphemous but clearly hacks don't work for Pakistan here . Anyways the team deserved to lose , PCB is the only board which takes T20 Seriously while others use it to test their bench strength Pak uses it to boast their exploits and hide their flaws .
 
Hope Sarfraz comes back to take over the captaincy role. Its not easy to be undefeated for straight 11 series. Now that he is not there all can see the difference.

Yeh he would not stand by and let his bowlers bowl trash. He would be having a good at them
 
DAVID MILLER gave a renowned exhibition of his power hitting game and Babar Azam responded with a batting master class of the highest quality as the Standard Bank Proteas and Pakistan produced another white ball special at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium today that will long be remembered. Miller celebrated his captaincy debut by being named KFC Man of the Match.

In the end the Proteas won the second KFC T20 International by 7 runs to clinch the three-match series 2-0 with the final game to be played at SuperSport Park on Wednesday.

But the result almost paled into insignificance compared to the entertainment that was provided.

Miller smashed an unbeaten 65 off 29 balls with four fours and five sixes to set Pakistan a highly competitive target of 189. In the process he scored South Africa’s fastest T20 International half-century against these opponents.

Babar then proved himself equal to the challenge as he responded with 90 off 58 balls with 13 fours and one six. Apart from the fact that he was batting with a protective helmet he looked every bit the part of a modern day Sir Viv Richards as he played risk-free cricket for most of his innings.

With him at the crease Pakistan appeared to be cruising to victory, having scored 70/1 in the power play, and his dismissal with 42 runs required sparked a collapse that saw Pakistan lose 6 wickets for 33 runs and fall agonisingly short of their target.

They needed 15 off Andile Phehlukwayo’s final over but he defended it superbly and picked up two wickets into the bargain.

The Proteas had an unsung star and a new hero in 20-year-old debutant Lutho Sipamla who pulled the attack together after the initial Pakistan onslaught, bowling four one-over spells. In the end he conceded just 23 runs which was a match-winning effort in a high-scoring encounter.

He showed excellent control and a very cool head as he mixed up his pace and varieties and enabled his fielders to block the Pakistan scoring strokes – something that is not always easy at the Bidvest Wanderers.

The Proteas had a second debutant in Janneman Malan who could also be satisfied with his first effort (33 off 31 balls, 3 fours and 2 sixes).
 
T20 is a circus not to be taken seriously . [MENTION=148931]Jingaaru[/MENTION] - there is a beer in India, very cheap & very potent , which goes by your user name :)
 
Babar Azam played a gem....

but there are still question mark on his ability to finish games....

He along with Talat played too softly during 10-15 overs and give SA a chance and then both got out....

Wouldn't say losing by 6 runs and 7 runs runs is getting exposed.

Sir [MENTION=7701]Prince of Pakistan[/MENTION] I got ur point. Sometimes it makes me wonder that why Pak team plays minnows a lot. Wasim Akram also told that he is all up for the promotion of the game but playing against minnows on a regular basis doesnt help ur cricket at all. Pak team must play with stronger teams more often than not.
 
Pak team had won T20s against strong teams like England, NZ, West Indies before.

It would also help to expose many of our seniors + so called talents.
