South Africa v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Johannesburg | 10 April 2021 | South Africa innings

[Hasan123]

Bavuma has to play as he is captain, De Kock will obviously play. So Malan probably won’t play at the World T20. Unless Bavuma is going to bat at 3.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nawaz getting some turn

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Only 5 batsmen. This short batting lineup is not good enough to win a worldcup

Tu kya 10 batsmen khela lein. Oh bhai T20 ko itna serious mat lo.

 

[Sunzi]

Excellent from Nawaz.

Looks very close if it's pad first

 

[Toxic]

Does anyone here find Mohammad Nawaz to be a quality bowler that deserves to be a regular on the Pakistan squad?

 

[Hasan123]

Malan needs to improve against spin.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Bring Hafeez come on Babar

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Translation - No excuse for Pak to lose

Misbah wouls find one

 

[Hasan123]

Scraped the pad. Nawaz strikes.

 

[Rana]

Demon Malan out

 

[Titan24]

Nawaz doing a solid job again.

 

[Sunzi]

Thats a top call by the umpire as it looked off the bat face until you see ultra edge and side-on of the back pad.

 

[Hasan123]

Though Klassen may bat at 3 as he is decent against spin.

 

[kingusama92]

Great bowling from Nawaz.

 

[Titan24]

Have to say that was a solid arm ball

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Once ahkram janaman goes SA will fail.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is Nawaz better than Imad?

 

[Titan24]

Hafeez against lefty Lubbe here on this surface wont be a bad option in my opinion

 

[Toxic]

Hasan Ali throwing garbage like usual

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali strikes.

 

[Rana]

Lol Lubbe from the institution of boom boom Afridi

 

[Sunzi]

Hasan's mixed bag prevails.

 

[Hasan123]

Good change of pace.

 

[Toxic]

Complete gift of a wicket by Lubbe :

 

[Hasan123]

Definitely bowl spin at Klassen, he will look to attack them and it could create a chance. Also Markham still has issues against spin.

 

[NeVerMind]

Hope we rest Shaheen after this match...he is not needed

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

the celebration is just terrible

 

[Titan24]

Complete gift of a wicket by Lubbe :

Hassan’s change of pace deception bought that gift.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hasan Ali throwing garbage like usual

You guys take T20 way too seriously.

 

[Hasan123]

Kyle Verryane ability to rotate strike will be missed. Definitely should have played with Van Der Dussesn and Bavuma out.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hope we rest Shaheen after this match...he is not needed

Thanks for backing me, he needs a long rest.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Gotta think Malan is a fixture on SA going forward. He looks like an incredible talent.

Bit of a younger SA side nowadays but there is quite a bit of talent there with guys like Van Der Dussen, Malan, Markram and with a strong pace attack to boot. They might be really good before too long.

 

[Toxic]

You guys take T20 way too seriously.

Hasan Ali is always like this whether its t20 or odi no matter if its a tournament or series

 

[Hasan123]

Good shot.

 

[Saj]

2 overs at the start of the innings should have been enough for Nawaz.

3rd over went for 11

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Surely Fakhar will open. That’s where he did well in the ODIs.

Sisanda Magala is highly rated in South Africa especially for his death bowling. Let’s see what he can do.

If thats obvious, misbah will do otherwise ...

 

[Sunzi]

Hasan up around 88-89mph

 

[MHN1293]

Qadir showing essence of shadab

 

[Rana]

Well I guess Qadir needs an over to settle down

 

[Nasty Naz]

Some really crappy fielding so far.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

He's overpitching worse than Shadab

 

[Zeshan547]

Tuning in just now, why do you need two spinners at wanderers, that too at cost of one less specialist batsman? When it's the batting which is our weaker suit.

 

[Titan24]

Usman Qadir has variations but need to minimize of full tosses, short balls and half volleys.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Full toss lol

 

[Fazzy321]

Makram strength seems to be on side just need to bowl him legside

 

[Hasan123]

Wonder when Markham will give it away.

 

[Rajdeep]

Harris Rauf welcomed with a six

 

[castortroy]

Is Afridi ever going to get a rest?

Should have been rested for the t20s

 

[Hasan123]

Klassen is a powerful striker. I know he did well under Boucher in domestic cricket and is seen in the leadership team, it’s time for him to step up now.

 

[MHN1293]

Seeing rauf smashed for six off the first ball of his spell has become a bit of a recurring theme nowadays.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

First ball of his spell. 6. Don't know to laugh or cry

 

[Hasan123]

Rauf getting destroyed. No surprise SA are enjoying his pace.

 

[castortroy]

You can't have Rauf and Hasan in the same

Leak so many runs

 

[lahoriyah1234]

1 wk and SA will be looking to somehow get a decent total.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rauf might come up with an incredible spell after every 10 match but as an Indian fan i will be happy to see his name on the pakistani team sheet. Kinda like Wahab Riaz

 

[lahoriyah1234]

First ball of his spell. 6. Don't know to laugh or cry

Oh bhai yeh T20 hai score padta hai. Ab 20 over baad 50 runs tu nahi ban sakte

 

[Sunzi]

This is good batting.

Bowlers aren't bowling well either - mixed bag from all, aside Nawaz.

 

[MHN1293]

Markrams breakthrough t20 innings

 

[Hasan123]

Markham is brutal against pace yet Rauf just keeps running up and bowling quickly.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Haris Rauf back to trash

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Is Afridi ever going to get a rest?

Should have been rested for the t20s

Replace with whom?

 

[Shaka81]

Haris Rauf getting smashed about. He really lacks the bowling intelligence to change his style when he's under pressure.

 

[Dark_Horse]

You can't have Rauf and Hasan in the same


Leak so many runs

2-13-1 Hassan personal bias

 

[Fazzy321]

Haris length is so weird he goes in with no plan at all

 

[MHN1293]

200 on cards.

 

[castortroy]

One hell of a wicket

 

[Devadwal]

Mamoon was right about Haris Rauf. He is a tape ball bowler .

 

[angrypathan]

Boundaries galore

 

[NeVerMind]

Getting smashed everywhere

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

SA looking to get atleast 175-180

 

[Smudger]

Markram has some serious talent

 

[Hasan123]

This is some brutal hitting. Klassen taking care of spin, whilst Markham is dealing with the pacers. Need W wicket.

 

[wajid]

Time to try faheem

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Need wickets and quickly

 

[Baigel]

I'd much rather an opposition score a large score over getting bowled out cheaply. There's no fun in the match when a team has to chase 100 odd in 20 overs. On the other hand, when you have to chase 170 - 200, there's that excitement of 'Okay, let's see what happens', and it's so much more enjoyable

Are you guys in the same boat, or would you prefer SA getting bowled out for 100 odd here (hypothetically)

 

[Fazzy321]

First fifty for Markram

 

[Hasan123]

Markram has some serious talent

Yep. Just needs to get 1 big score in LO and he will kick on.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Half tracker smh

 

[MHN1293]

Replace with whom?

Hasnain, wasim jr , dhani, arshad iqbal. Any other good young bowler. Shaheen has been overburdened and has been average in t20is off late. If he is going to be our premiere pacer in the t20 world cup he needs adequate rest to preform to his fullest

 

[Sunzi]

Considering the preconceptions surrounding this makeshift SA side (10 players missing etc.) - we are in a proper game here and looking at 200 at this rate which will take some chasing.
