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

[Markhor]

Joburg is a high scoring venue for white ball cricket. Batsmen can trust the pace and bounce of the wicket.

The high altitude and lower air pressure also means the ball travels faster.

So par score expectations should be higher than normal.

 

[Zaz]

Good comeback from pakistan

 

[Rana]

Some cricketers, roles Pakistan have failed to replace...

-Abdul Razzaq’s late innings onslaught specialist

-A death bowler with pin point Yorkers like Umar Gul

-A proper wicket taking leg spinner, bowling flat in the middle overs like Shahid Afridi

 

[Dark_Horse]

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

150kph

 

[lahoriyah1234]

With Amir back, We can have a good attack.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Wow Shaheen surprised me there.

 

[Hasan123]

Good shot by Magala.

 

[MHN1293]

Pakistan should be able to chase this.

Would require their highest successful run chase i think

 

[lahoriyah1234]

No he didn’t bowl a dumbest delivery as usual.

 

[bujhee kom]

188 is a big score. RSA faves now 70/30.

 

[Fazzy321]

Fakhar need to smash from ball 1 to have any chance

 

[Ozeirk]

Slightly above average score on this ground.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan should be able to chase this one.

 

[Titan24]

Didn't he score an 80 odd at this same venue before leaving for the IPL?

Definitely a crucial player for SA but dont remember him doing much against Pak. Averages 37 in ODIs and in T20s played one decent knock of 48* in 4 matches.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Shaheen hasn't been impressive in t20s so for

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Ideal situation for Babar. Good batting track, easy bowling opposition, besides shamsi maybe. Should open and win

 

[Nasty Naz]

Considering how things looked after the 10 overs, Pakistan will take this. Should be a fun chase.

 

[Titan24]

That was some comeback in last 4-5 overs by Pak. A good surface this, batsmen need to stand up.

 

[Ozeirk]

Pakistan has done well. I think this game is 60-40 to Pakistan

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Just bat 20 overs and we can chase this, no drama please. Hafeez and Haider will take us home.

 

[Mesozoic]

Forgettable outing for Afridi.

Will say it again... Pak TM will regret playing him in every game even if it's against Uganda.

 

[Mean&Green]

Hafeez will chase this alone

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistan to chase this much in t20s

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shaheen hasn't been impressive in t20s so for

He needs to be shown the door . He is not T20 bowler. Amir is what we need for T20 WC.

 

[MHN1293]

Shaheen hasn't been impressive in t20s so for

Had a really good start but in the last year or si hasnt done anything of note in t201s

 

[Mesozoic]

Definitely a crucial player for SA but dont remember him doing much against Pak. Averages 37 in ODIs and in T20s played one decent knock of 48* in 4 matches.

Markram didn't have a T20 30 before this game. Look at how he played today. Past results/scores matter zilch when the player in question is top quality.

 

[RajBan]

SA short my 20-25 runs.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Since when did Pakistani fans get this confident. I agree though we should chase it. Lower middle order looks weak though
