South Africa v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Centurion | 7th April 2021 | Pakistan innings

[Titan24]

Don’t remember spinners bowling in last 10 this much and event bowling 2nd last over.

 

[ha5is12]

Not entirely sure why Hassan didn't bat at 4. He's our best middle order batsmen

 

[Coolcapri]

Shabbash Hassan 3 more 6ssss

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali saving us.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I hope Babar doesn't get his hundred. He doesn't deserve it.

 

[sindhiboy]

Hasan ali bringing some sanity

 

[Rana]

Fakhar Zaman got out to that shot in the 2019 World Cup also against SA

What exactly is his brain function at the time when he believes he will ramp a spinner who bowls 45-50mph?

 

[silentkiller187]

this is what the other batsmen if you can call them that should have been dong to smuts , sarfraz, nawaz, et al

 

[Ahmed216]

Shame hassan ali is doing better than babar

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Hasan Ali is a better striker of the ball than Babar Azam.

 

[Major]

Hassan ALi is batting fro Babar azam )

 

[gani999]

Pakistan will reach 300 here. And SA doesn't have the batting. Good work!

 

[silentkiller187]

wheres the wrist slitters saying we wouldn't make 300

 

[Muddaser]

I’m always down to blaming Misbah, the man is a cancer on PCT, however today I reckon we can’t blame him but instead the selfishness of Babar and stupidity of Fakhar.

And the 4 batsmen in the middle? Babar and Fakhars fault? Were they nightwatchmen?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Not entirely sure why Hassan didn't bat at 4. He's our best middle order batsmen

I’d say 5

 

[Rana]

But Babar hasn't done anything since Fakhar's dismissal.

What is he supposed to do when Rizwan, Sarfaraz and Faheem are gifting their wickets to SA?

 

[Titan24]

Some hitting from Hassan. Hopefully all rounders sitting in the Pak’s dressing room can get some inspiration for their careers

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Finally the part timers getting what they deserve

 

[Coolcapri]

Yeh Cheez meray aziz, Babar seekh kaisay hitting kartay hain spinner kooooo

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Hasan you beautyyyyyy

 

[silentkiller187]

the generator

 

[jusarrived]

Some clean hitting there by Hassan Ali

 

[Rana]

Babar get Hassan on Strike!

 

[Major]

Hasan Hits another

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali has a better powergame than some of our specialist batters.

SAF shouldn't feed him spin.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol Hasan Ali can take apart but Smuts but Babar can't because he needs to worry about everyone else apart from scoring runs.

 

[Sunzi]

Our fans man. Fickle.

Hassan oy! Shezada

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hasan saving pakistan from embarrasement here.

 

[shariqnoor]

It's a matter of shame that Hasan has better hitting ability than Sarfraz, Faheem, Nawaz, Babar

 

[UzmanBeast]

The more I look at it, the more I see Hasan Ali becoming an all-rounder. Would not be a bad investment by any means.

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali should have come ahead of Nawaz.

 

[Nov15]

Dumb captaincy from Bavuma.

 

[imshally81]

Hasan Ali on fire

 

[Major]

ANother 6 by Hasan ALi

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali took apart Sajid Khan in QEA Trophy final, so not surprised to see this.

Sarfraz and Nawaz take note.

 

[neonoir]

Hassan boom boom, rebirth of razzaq

 

[Omer2002]

Just shows what kind of wicket this is.....absolute Flat....our bowlers need to work very hard here..

 

[Titan24]

As I have said in last couple of years while Hassan was injured that he is one of the key players for Pak across the formats and was a big miss. Provides that much needed attitude in the Pak team.

 

[Sunzi]

Oy hoy hoy! That's the way to treat a part-time spinner.

 

[Major]

THere you go, Hassan Ali showing Babr how its done.

 

[Indiafan]

Ali showing how these spinners could be easily hit

 

[cric_4life]

People just being ignorant here.. Babar held the inning togather as what he should have done.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Why isn't Phehlukwayo bowling for SAF?

 

[Hasan123]

Good finish.

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali can bat at 8.

Asif, Shadab and Nawaz cannot produce like this in the death in their dreams.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar needs to give Hasan strike here.

 

[Rana]

Bobby launching one also

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

wheres the wrist slitters saying we wouldn't make 300

Shame that we had to rely on tailenders to do so. We should have made 350 here.

 

[Gullycricket]

Hasan better than Asif ali

 

[Titan24]

31 off 10 balls from Hassan so far

 

[Abdurmirr]

2 things:

This proves the stupidity of Misbah, chasing not to play Hassan Ali last game. Even if he gives away 65-70 runs, he can make it up with his batting. Something the useless rauf or hasnain can’t do.

Secondly it just shows how bad our managements innovation is. Someone should have realised SA spin death over plan and bought Hassan Ali up the order. However Misbah “the king” Ul Haq cannot even fathom such a simple plan

 

[Zeshan547]

now watch shameless misbah and his fans defend oh see we still scored 320, odd, we had an ideal team selection. That's how shameless they are.

 

[ChTab]

I hope Babar doesn't get his hundred. He doesn't deserve it.

He won't get it, there is no way he can score 20 plus runs in an over.

 

[Rana]

Well done Babar, another not out

Boost that average to 60+

 

[Thulsa]

Shockingly limited batsman is BA - absolutely no ability to change gears - good, but unless he develops the ability to shift gears, he will remain a statistically good but limited batsman.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Well done Babar, another not out

Boost that average to 60+

What use!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

16 off 3 balls needed

 

[Rana]

THere you go, Hassan Ali showing Babr how its done.

Maybe he can show Babar how it’s done at the top of the order also against Nortje and Rabada?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Well now 10 off 2 balls needed for Babar

 

[Omer2002]

saffers bowled 9 overs of spin in last 10 overs wow...they trolling us big time

 

[silentkiller187]

Babar is nearing a century rest of the batsmen pretty much failed yet hes still gets stick PP logic

 

[Sunzi]

Body blow for Phehlukwayo to have only been trusted with 4 overs considering his frequency in the SA Team irrespective of the IPL etc.

Saying that. Chikka!

 

[Coolcapri]

Babar Need 2 more sixes......

 

[Rana]

What use!

We can use it to rub it in on the Kohli fans

 

[Gullycricket]

Babar realising hundred is there on offing

 

[sindhiboy]

Some trash bowling from andile, dupavillion should have bowled

Babar has accelerated well. Will just barely miss his century

 

[Omer2002]

ermmm i am getting worried about this pitch now....this pitch is such a belter....

 

[cric_4life]

) lolz at the haters

 

[Coolcapri]

Babar need six on last ball.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

6 needed off last ball now...

 

[Rana]

94 off 82

Excellent effort by Babar

 

[Major]

Maybe he can show Babar how it’s done at the top of the order also against Nortje and Rabada?

there is no point in defending this.

You call someone a fab4 and yet the part tiemrs dominate him. Pakistan should had score more here

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Pehlu is a gift that keeps on giving )

 

[Titan24]

You dont become no 1 batsman of the world in ODIs world if you dont know how to hit the ball. We often forget the the poor batting lineup Pak usually has outside of top 3 currently. Surely Babar can improve this aspect further but, its not bad in the way fans make it out to be.

 

[ChTab]

When you can play shots like this why you don't try in the earlier overs?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

We can use it to rub it in on the Kohli fans

Kohli has scored 70 such tons

 

[Omer2002]

unlucky....Folks i am not sure this is enough but Spinners did well here so lets hope ours too.

 

[Mainul]

That's the finish I have not seen for a long long time from Pakistan

 

[Coolcapri]

Yehi thora pehlay mar leetay to 350 was on the cards.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Babar should be ashamed of himself. We are short by 30 runs regardless of the result.
