South Africa v Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Pretoria | 14 April 2021 | South Africa innings

[Mamoon]

Rameez is the cringiest commie... Isn't able to hide his displeasure

You mean his pleasure? He is often itching to see Pakistan get thumped so that he can be his usual obnoxious self.

 

[sindhiboy]

Don't worry Pakistan, Rassie is yet to come and he is an even more dangerous batsmen than these two

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good from faheem so far.

 

[Omer2002]

How many bowlers do.we have today despite not having usman we seem to be changing bowlers so often

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Good over from Faheem..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan can surely chase 220+ no.. Against Malaga.. Sipamala.. Don't even know the name of the bowlers.
Walk in the park.

With Rizwan and Babar in the line-up? Good luck.

 

[BreadPakoda]

You mean his pleasure? He is often itching to see Pakistan get thumped so that he can be his usual obnoxious self.

The irony

 

[imshally81]

Better over by Faheem

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Good over from Faheem Sobers

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez should bowl here...

 

[sharmaji]

Batting pitch. Par score is 180. Pak should not worry too much, it has the batting to chase this. Stay calm, restrict SA to less than 200 and the match is on.

 

[Devadwal]

Fafeem bowling is better than Rauf

 

[Usman Chadda]

Batting pitch. Par score is 180. Pak should not worry too much, it has the batting to chase this. Stay calm, restrict SA to less than 200 and the match is on.

Did you miss the last game?

 

[Kaptan]

South African bowling is pathetic.
Pakistan should chase any score on this pitch.

 

[Tabishbeigh]

When you need a wicket you go to your leggie . He would either get smashed or pick wickets. Such silly management of resources by the team management.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan can surely chase 220+ no.. Against Malaga.. Sipamala.. Don't even know the name of the bowlers.
Walk in the park.

Don't know about that but I think posters who make threads about the likes Pat Cummins being bad investments are misguided by the pitches that the PSL had for years. On real belters even top international attacks can get flayed. That does not mean the bowlers are bad but teams Pakistan should be mentally prepared to chase big scores above 200 etc.

 

[Mamoon]

I think this match is gone. Even if South Africa slow down here, they damage down in the first 5 overs will ensure that they get a defendable total on board.

Only a miraculous collapse can save Pakistan here.

Absolutely dismal bowling and captaincy.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Everyone today : Lets keep a leg spinner.. even if he goes for runs he takes wickets.
Misbah : na na soniyo.. defensive finger spinner is need of the hour.

 

[Sunzi]

Will need an implosion here to stem the flow. Otherwise this will be out of hand by the 16th/17th over.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Rauf

 

[Yasir_ch]

Haris hasn't bowled that badly here.Bowled fast.

 

[sharmaji]

Haha different ground, different pitch, Pak has an extra batsman and Fakhar is back. And SA bowling is still pedestrian, somehow they managed to do well in the last T20. So I am hopeful that Pak can comfortably chase anything less than 200.

Did you miss the last game?

 

[sindhiboy]

Only 4 runs from the over, good bowling

 

[Usman Chadda]

I think this match is gone. Even if South Africa slow down here, they damage down in the first 5 overs will ensure that they get a defendable total on board.

Absolutely dismal bowling and captaincy.

Series was gone the day this South African side beat us. Our kittens are now mentally gone, and it will take a monumental individual performance for our team to save face.

Have seen this too many times now.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Can Rameez just shut up? Goes on and on and on..... Guess pollock and others are laughing at this guy

 

[Fazzy321]

Need wickets here

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

SA have slowed down a bit. Good bowling from Pak.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Haha different ground, different pitch, Pak has an extra batsman and Fakhar is back. And SA bowling is still pedestrian, somehow they managed to do well in the last T20. So I am hopeful that Pak can comfortably chase anything less than 200.

The pitch at the Wanderers was as good as could be, evident from Hasan Ali coming out and swinging two clean sixes on his first two deliveries. Our champions just forgot how to bat completely.

SA can bowl underarm and still beat these mentally weak losers.

 

[imshally81]

Markham swing his bat at every ball..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Match is not gone at all. This looks like a good pitch. Pakistan need some damage control. Cutters, cross seamers etc.

 

[Devadwal]

Good last 2 over by Pakistan

 

[silentkiller187]

Babar captaincy here needs looking at, no pro activeness at all.

 

[imshally81]

13 runs in faheem over

 

[Yasir_ch]

LOL average first innings score here is 209 but pakistan can't chase more than 190.

 

[Usman Chadda]

World class youngsta beauty thinking too much about how rubbish he has been recently, and gives away two easy runs.

 

[silentkiller187]

average inning here is 209 tho, so SA are actually under par at the moment

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Good platform for Sa. Should get 190 at least. Anything less then that is disappointment.

 

[Greenstorm]

147 kph by Faheem !

 

[Shaddy86]

Why does Ramiz talk non-stop. Just be quiet in between please. We're already annoyed with the team's performance and Ramiz's constant talking makes it worse.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Looks like a batting paradise. 200 can be achieved with likes of Fakhar back in the team. If he goes early, I doubt other batsmen in Pak lineup are skilled enough to chase 200. It's a clash between SA vs Fakhar to sum it up.

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan has no bite at all. This attack will get mauled on the Indian pitches and outfields in the WT20.

Pakistan need Amir back. At least he has bowling intelligence and will find a way to minimize the damage.

These other bowlers bottle it after getting hit for a couple of boundaries.

 

[castortroy]

Pak should be 3 down after today's game

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez should bowl.. Dumb captaincy

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hasan is bowling rubbish all over the place. No rhythm whatsoever.

 

[Mamoon]

average inning here is 209 tho, so SA are actually under par at the moment

Pakistan’s batting is below average.

 

[Sunzi]

It's just too erratic from the attack 2 good balls followed by a rank full toss. This is where Amir was competent in LOIs and, if conditions suited, would make the ball talk.

 

[imshally81]

I think.. It was no ball

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hafeez should bowl.. Dumb captaincy

To 2 right-handers on this pitch and with legal action?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

It's not even 10 an over. Chaseable so far. I feel a dry spell coming up.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Malan will lose this match with his slow batting. Should either hit out or get out.

 

[Mamoon]

Hassan will never get back to the 2017 zone. People should cut down their expectations from him.

He is one of these cricketers who peaked way too early and spent the rest of his career trying to relive that period.

He is just an okay bowler now, but good enough for our appalling standards especially in LOIs.

 

[castortroy]

There is no banker in this pak bowling attack.

Afridi, hassan and Rauf all go for plenty

 

[hamzi]

Whats up with the negativity here? Ur playing a top team in their backyard where the average score is 209..its not like they are bashing us? its just what happens on this ground. Atleast let both the teams play! 1 bad game and its as if everything is forgotten? We won the series against this team at our home, we are defeating them at their home what seems to be the issue here then? Does it matter how we play as long as we are winning? Weird mentality here

 

[imshally81]

To 2 right-handers on this pitch and with legal action?

Still more effective than Hasan & Faheem

 

[Sunzi]

Markram striking at 200!

 

[sindhiboy]

Janneman Malan is doing a babar azam for South Africa

 

[silentkiller187]

Pakistan’s batting is below average.

and thats being kind

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

100/0 10.. Bits .. Somehow such a satisfying score to look at as a software engineer.

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz gets the treatment immediately,

 

[castortroy]

This is some serious bashing

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Has there been a 100 partnership against Pak in t20is before..

 

[Yasir_ch]

LOL mediocre Nawaz

 

[Usman Chadda]

South Africa C has no business competing with our first XI. It’s embarrassing and goes to show how bad we will get owned in the WT20.

I expect Pakistan to drop a T20 and a test to Zimbabwe too later. Mark this post.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Still more effective than Hasan & Faheem

Markram will destroy him. Even Nawaz looks a bit helpless

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[bujhee kom]

Pakistan's bowling is county standard at best. Hassan Ali is particularly bad.

RSA have found a gem in Malan and Markham is a known quantity.

 

[Yasir_ch]

What a way to get out.He was looking so so good.

 

[Sunzi]

Timely blow. Wrong man for SA. Vital for Pak to try and get a foothold in the game.

 

[Mamoon]

Markram is thriving under the pressure of added responsibility thanks to the departure of players like QdK and Miller, as well as the retirement of Faf.

If he becomes the captain he will take his game to the next level. Seems like one of those characters who thrive under responsibility.

His potential is enormous. He can easily become a G. Smith and Kallis type player for South Africa.

Deserved a ton today but a terrific knock nonetheless. This is how you dominate in this format.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Markaram gone.. Good innings.
Can Pakistan pull things back.

 

[Devadwal]

Malan playing like booby ,this means playing in apposition hands.

 

[sindhiboy]

Fair for sa fans to blame the wicket on jannemans babar like innings?

 

[Omer2002]

Nawaz has been the best bowler today and he started bowling in power play

 

[Usman Chadda]

Markram got himself out to be honest. Wanted to continue with that 200 SR against these hapless pathetic bowlers.

RVD to come in and inflict more damage now. South Africa comfortably looking at a score above 200 here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Time for Pakistan to sneak back in. Danger man Markram out.

 

[sharmaji]

Stay positive buddy. Pak can win this game. There is plenty of time left in the match.

The pitch at the Wanderers was as good as could be, evident from Hasan Ali coming out and swinging two clean sixes on his first two deliveries. Our champions just forgot how to bat completely.

SA can bowl underarm and still beat these mentally weak losers.

 

[Abdulm123]

Pakistan's bowling is county standard at best. Hassan Ali is particularly bad.

RSA have found a gem in Malan and Markham is a known quantity.

Hassan Ali had one fluke run in the 2017 champions trophy and has booked a constant spot in the cricket team for the next decade as a result of that. Hassan Ali needs to go, he doesnt contribute anything to the team beside leak constant runs

 

[world cup captain]

LOL mediocre Nawaz

Yep. The mediocre Nawaz gets the only wicket.

 

[Mamoon]

This is far from a top team.

This lineup will get smashed by England, India, Australia and New Zealand in the same conditions.

We saw what England did to them in the T20 series few months back.
