South Africa v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Cape Town | Feb 1, 2019 | South Africa innings

As per Cricinfo:

"Faheem Ashraf to du Plessis, SIX runs, WHAT A SHOT! He goes down to try and paddle, and Ashraf fires it outside off, and he is able to adjust enough to dink it over third man...all the way for SIX!"

Yes glorious on a 52-53m boundary.
 
Shady should not look for any variations... basic stump to stump will be enough against these guys
 
Its only going to get worse with shinwari bowling. Why would you not select Shaheen?

Yeah let’s burn the 18 year old out before the WC by playing him in meaningless T20s. And people like you will be first to complain when that happens questioning why he wasn’t rested and rotated. Our fans are the worst.

Amazing shot nonetheless. If I wanted to take the shine off it though, wouldn't cite the boundary size but the bowler at the other end.
 
as mentioned before .. he wants to make his case for ODI team. He knows his batting is exposed so trying to make a case with bowling.

So all along the guy was secretly harbouring hate for not being bowled?

His bowling is outdated, he can only bowl the off spinner and relies on a stupid leg stump length
 
Pathetic from Sky Sports really, they are not even showing it via red button
 
Malik is pathetic

When did Faheem ever bowl in the middle overs
 
Gotto pick wickets..No one looked like picking a wicket
 
T20 ranking will take a nosedive?? I thought Malik will save Pak cricket?:yk2

He already missed somematches on this tour to rest. And there were plenty days between matches. 4 overs hardly going to kill a young man. Lol
Once and if the series is won he can be rested.

No need to risk it for a pointless T20 when we have so much cricket coming up
 
Malik 40 year old 'youngster' has no shame really. Look at all those who started playing cricket at his age, all of them are retired and have moved on, this guy has no business here!
 
Faheem Ashraf is getting the beating of his life here.

In other news, wonderful batting wicket.
 
This will be 200+ if the wickets don't fall. Team typically double their scores after 12 overs
 
Pathetic captaincy. Bowling changes have been so poor. It's like gifting the match
 
Yes it is all Malik’s fault. South Africa would have been 8 down for 70 under Sarfraz. Apparently he bowls for the bowlers too.
 
Why didn't the bowling coach tell them where to bowl at? Pacers should bowl yorkers more often in t20
 
Sarfi went missing and team forgot how to play:dw

But wait Malik will save the team followed by clutch 1(10) from Rizwan :wahab2
 
No slow bouncers, or any variations which they otherwise bowl in psl. What is this?

Exactly. Why Shadab isn't bowling? Why Malik bowls 1st over? Why Shinwari didn't bowled inside powerplay. Why Hasan isn't bowling in the middle. These things make huge impact
 
Shinwari, the star of PSL, finally know where he stands. Good learning period
 
If we can't chase 200, we shouldn't be the no.1 team.
Best chance for pakistan to prove they are the no.1 team
 
Shadab is a nothing player once you look past the bling and the minnow bashing.
 
Great all-rounders Talat Faheem Malik playing in the same team. SA are dead !
 
flat pitch , small boundaries . Surely it is not game over if target around 190 for number 1 T20 team ? Remember , no Rabada , Ngidi , Duanne ...
