South Africa vs Pakistan | 5th ODI | Cape Town | Jan 30, 2019 | Pakistan Innings

19 overs to go & Steyn / Rabada have just 6 left . 270 on cards & a win in my opinion .
 
Rizwan knows this is his only chance to do something and is putting himself under immense pressure by doing so.
 
I think there’s precious little to come, these guys need to scratch around the best they can till the 40th over

Even 185 odd would be ok by 40 overs with wickets in hand. Can easily push to 270 from there.

Pakistan can't afford to lose another wicket - smart batting for now.
 
Appalling innings from Rizwan, one of the worst innings from a Pakistani batsmen I've seen.
 
Rizwan ruins his chance!!!!! Sarfraz will be the only WK in 2019 World Cup squad
 
Still wonder how the hell Rizwan scored so many runs with A side. I see no improvement in technique or mental side of the game :facepalm:

Sarfraz and Yeha Hussani will be rejoiced. There is no threat what so ever
 
Embarassing scenes for Rizwan. I don't know how was he able to scored ton after ton against England A.
 
now sarfraz will continue to bat so poorly as there is no one to topple his place as a wk batsman and even as a captain i guess...
 
This is the issue with us.Hype players on bench without realising why they were dropped in first place.Still laughing at some posters who want Shezad,Akmal back.Arthur is not a fool sitting there
 
Dear oh dear

Malik unable to score off pacers and Rizwan just unable to play has put us in a huge hole...

Need to bat 50 overs and get to 230-240.

Pakistan's inability to rotate the strike and run singles and doubles will cost them as it has been for decades.
 
The whole life of the inns has been sucked out here. We will be lucky to make 200 from here!
 
Real trouble after such a good start! Just about sums up our batting . .
 
Where is [MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION]?

This is your desired replacement for Sarfraz?
 
lol @ Rizwan lovers and who thought he is a better batsman than Sarfraz. I kept telling them Rizwan doesn't have a technique to score runs in international cricket but they wouldnt listen.
 
The concept of building your innings in ODI cricket is alien to a lot of these players.
 
Unfortunately Rizwan is not nowhere near Sarfraz. An out of form Sarfraz is still better than inform Rizwan.
 
Hopefully Shadab will get us singles and doubles - the only way to tick the scoreboard.
 
Pretorius and Andilo were accurate. But Steyn/Rabada were below par today. Yet Pakistan somehow managed to get into a tangle.
 
Now I realise Sarfraz is the best wicket keeper batsman available in Pakistan. He thought Rizwan improved a lot and has become like Dinesh Kartik of India. I was wrong. Still no competitor for Sarfraz.
 
Pakistan started this series with a few questions:
- can Malik, hafeez, and Sarfaraz play in the same team
- do we need to change captaincy
Safe to say we will end with the same questions unanswereD
Maybe, just maybe Hafeez should play, but Sarfaraz and Malik don’t make the team as batsmen let alone captain
 
9 runs off the last 5 overs.

Pathetic to have wasted such a good start.
