South Africa v Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Johannesburg | 12 April 2021 | Pakistan innings

[Hasan123]

Wonder what Kohli can learn from Babar today.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Gone. Pak need to promote Hassan Ali, he can do some damage against these Trundlers and parttimers. Let’s see if they can think out of box

What kind of " out of box" thinking is that? Why send hit or out batter when you have proper batsman is there.

 

[castortroy]

Babar looks dreadful

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Magala what the hey is he doing ?

 

[imshally81]

No ball, no ball & no ball

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar can't even get a free hit away...but another no ball and Haider has a chance now

 

[Ashmal]

Babar struggling...not timing them today

 

[world cup captain]

If Rizwan was doing what Babar is now,yall would blame Rizwan for Hafeez dismissal.

Babar can get away with these type of knocks but no one else can.

This is the difference between Babar and Kohli that people cannot grasp. Nearly in all circumstances, Virat bats at a significantly higher rate than Babar. This a South Africa C bowling line up and he still cannot line up the free hits.

 

[castortroy]

Pak not capitalising on these no balls

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

This is looking like one of the overs for the ages folks.

 

[Gullycricket]

Comedy bowling

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Magala )

 

[Sunzi]

Magala to save the day.

Need to tuck into the Haleem bowler!

 

[silentkiller187]

Sharjeel influence on the game showing through

 

[imshally81]

Nb, Nb, Nb & wide
Wahab Riaz in making

 

[Ahmed216]

3 free hits in a row..havent seen this before

 

[Gullycricket]

Daryl Tuffey will be proud

 

[shariqnoor]

Apart from the 100 against NZ int he World Cup, Babar has not played any impactful inning. Soft 100s everytime. And you can bet 10/10 times that he will bottle a big chase.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It's a slower, used pitch. You need lot more use of the bottom hand to generate power here. Top-hand , touch players like Bobby will find it harder.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

I was thinking babar needs to be there at the end but his timing is looking way off.

 

[Devadwal]

What is happening with this guy

 

[PakPremi]

Agreed, you can make a case for a debutant or a player who hasn't had many chances, but this is poor stuff from Babar.

Babar has already scored a century and 93 on tour, what else you want?

 

[NeVerMind]

Feel sorry for Malaga...no team mates having a word with him

 

[UzmanBeast]

Come on Haider.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Probably practiced it y'day and just waiting to unleash

I honestly would be shocked to learn if he doesn't memorize all his 'lines'.

 

[Thanos]

Time when every fan thinks I can bowl better than this guy.

 

[imshally81]

Magala should play all 4 matches..

 

[sindhiboy]

He just bowled 3 no balls in a row then follows with a wide .
Unbelievable

 

[imshally81]

Wide again

 

[Fazzy321]

Actually need sixes here to even go for half decent total

 

[UzmanBeast]

Babar has already scored a century and 93 on tour, what else you want?

You can't hit a hundred and then stop performing.

He hasn't been doing well in T20Is recently, and we can't make excuses for him because he has had ample time to adjust to the pitch.

 

[RajBan]

Magala was eating ribs and wings. Somebody forcefully got him to the cricket team.

 

[Devadwal]

Game changing over for Pakistan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Markram is far better than magala.

 

[Tubs]

Feel sorry for Malaga...no team mates having a word with him

Agreed, poor by the captain and seniors.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Is this guy fixing? Not accusing but looks suspicious.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

This guy bowling is terrible. 9 off the over and he’s got 5 balls to go.

 

[Local.Dada]

This Magala has some pace though but 0
Skills

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

8 balls bowled already and we are half way from completing over.

 

[ChTab]

This match is the exact reason why Babar should always open the innings for Pakistan in T20's.

 

[Thanos]

The best you can do in this situation, just bowl straight. Let batsman hit you. Will be still better than bowling extras

 

[imshally81]

What a shot... 444

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Feel sorry for Malaga...no team mates having a word with him

And you've even spelt his name wrong...he's got no luck today..,

 

[Sunzi]

Feel sorry for Malaga...no team mates having a word with him

Yeah man. Same. It was funny initially but he's struggling and has no support.

 

[world cup captain]

Babar has already scored a century and 93 on tour, what else you want?

For him to be considered the world's best, he needs to start winning instead of contibuting.

 

[b.lesner]

Can someone explain to me this ruke 3rd ball was given no ball so haider remained on 4 off 1 and when it was given no ball it was both wide and no ball so haider was 4 off 2 its unfair.

 

[Local.Dada]

Is this guy fixing? Not accusing but looks suspicious.

Even to fix something like a cricket match actually you need a lot of skill and talent. It is just lack of skill

 

[Ashmal]

Apart from the 100 against NZ int he World Cup, Babar has not played any impactful inning. Soft 100s everytime. And you can bet 10/10 times that he will bottle a big chase.

Did you not watch the 1st ODI of this tour.
Would Pakistan have won without Babar's innings...how was that impactless

 

[imshally81]

Another wide... Wahab Riaz should be proud on him

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar please retire from T20s

 

[Titan24]

Babar needs to push here

 

[PakPremi]

Apart from the 100 against NZ int he World Cup, Babar has not played any impactful inning. Soft 100s everytime. And you can bet 10/10 times that he will bottle a big chase.

What does impactful mean, one batsman does not win the match alone. There is always one or two other significant inning being played to assist with the total. Babar has scored plenty of runs in all formats at good average and strike rate.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Pakistan should target this over.

Good chance to get back to a decent run rate.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a trash bowler. Abd then some have issues when we say that SA cricket is in decline.

 

[Titan24]

This was probably shot of the match for me. Almost a perfect yorker, Babar guides it down for boundary

 

[Sunzi]

Well dug out, that. It was a decent yorker.

 

[Local.Dada]

I remember Md.Sami bowling such overs in his prime. Fast but no direction.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Did I just hear Haider Ali shouting at Babar?

 

[Sunzi]

Needed an over like this - didn't expect it to come like this though! The Spunk #Rambo

 

[Gullycricket]

Did I just hear Haider Ali shouting at Babar?

Yes and he was right

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

This over will hurt Pakistan

 

[Titan24]

Did I just hear Haider Ali shouting at Babar?

No Babar shouting at Haider “Yar nikal na yaar”

 

[UzmanBeast]

Babar can do two things right now.

Either start hitting boundaries, or start taking doubles and singles to put Haider on strike.

 

[Omer2002]

babar is absolute disgrace never a run there ..he is playing so poorly and having a go at Haider for not running

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Babar sounds very irritated today

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Outside the line I think.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Pakistan almost going at 8 rpo thanks to magala 12 ball over

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

This was probably shot of the match for me. Almost a perfect yorker, Babar guides it down for boundary

Damn, can't watch live on work. Aaaaaah

 

[UzmanBeast]

Frustration for Babar.

 

[mrtaim3]

What a worst over

 

[Local.Dada]

What a trash bowler. Abd then some have issues when we say that SA cricket is in decline.

SA team is so pedestrian lol. I wish India toured against this team, they would have ripped this team a new one. Look at this bowling. Rohit missed out on a couple of easy doubles here and some stat padding for our other players.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haider saved

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Haider keeps his bat toward mid wicket rather than playing straight. Not learning.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Don’t think that’s out

 

[mrtaim3]

Babar needs to play his own shots. He is trying too hard.

 

[Rajdeep]

Proper luck...that was out

 

[ChTab]

Babar has already scored a century and 93 on tour, what else you want?

He should stop playing on this tour then, this is beyond pathetic from a player who most Pakistani fans claim is better than Kohli.

 

[UzmanBeast]

babar is absolute disgrace never a run there ..he is playing so poorly and having a go at Haider for not running

Makes no sense because Haider should be on strike rather than the guy playing an ODI style knock.

I'm a big fan of Babar but he needs to acknowledge that Haider has the firepower to hit.

 

[Gullycricket]

Haider was troubled in Pak too by Shamsi

 

[Titan24]

Babar needs to turn his innings into a good one from here. Had to build a partnership and he did perfectly but, struggling to push his rate in last few overs.
