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

[a_tahir]

Imad has scored 2 less runs with playing 30 less balls

 

[imshally81]

Just need 240 here and game will on...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

280 was needed. Our batsmen will choke like this in the WC too. Soft dismissals.

 

[ILcricket]

the youthful 26 year old Amir walks in

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Malik and Rizwan innings were disastrous

rizwans was bad... malik was the only one left and he knew that he needs to stay to get this team over 200

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shadab 19 off 42 balls SR 45

Rizwan 10 off 30 balls SR 33

Hafeez 17 off 28 balls SR 60

Malik 31 off 44 balls SR 70

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Need 25+ wides please

 

[Hbomb00]

Shadab an allrounder or tailender?

Tailender

 

[angrypathan]

Seriously poor innings from Rizwan and Shadab today.

 

[Plumb]

rizwans was bad... malik was the only one left and he knew that he needs to stay to get this team over 200

Same excuses don’t come when Sarfaraz bats like that?

 

[Ahmed216]

230-240 is a fighting total here

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Just need 240 here and game will on...

350+ has come down to 240 lol

 

[Rana]

Phelu wides

 

[IMMY69]

They’ll look to bowl short to Amir...

 

[imshally81]

350+ has come down to 240 lol

We are very dynamic fanz

 

[aukhan]

People bashing Rizwan are forgetting Sarfarzs performance in last 2 years.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Same excuses don’t come when Sarfaraz bats like that?

malik comes in at 5 and didnt come at 8.. he could have sent rizwan, shadab and imad ahead of him and also come in at 8 like sarfraz

 

[Sadevdesai]

Shabab ...... a furniture on Titanic !!!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

250 needed but how??

 

[RyanRyan10]

Shadab an allrounder or tailender?

A bowler who can bat,not an allrounder

Aajkal fashion chal raha hai sabko allrounder bolne ka

This guy couldnt even rotate strike against Soumya Sarkar in Asia Cup & ended up with 3(21)

 

[Mueez]

240 will be a very good target.

 

[imshally81]

People bashing Rizwan are forgetting Sarfarzs performance in last 2 years.

Still better than Rizwan )

 

[imshally81]

Shabab ...... a furniture on Titanic !!!

And Rizwan... Whole Titanic?

 

[ILcricket]

Why did Phelu bowl the 45th when Rabada & Steyn had 3 each left ?

 

[Mueez]

Phelu bhai helping us )

 

[Boi]

Mike Haysman is still scarred by Malik’s 80 odd blitz against SA in Pakistan I think around 2003. He can’t hit like that anymore mate lol

 

[iRfaN_LA]

We need one 20 runs overs.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

People bashing Rizwan are forgetting Sarfarzs performance in last 2 years.

well sarfraz didnt look this weak in last 2 years i think... atleast assured as a batsman who can bat and score 20 -30 runs in quick time...

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Match ke mujrim today

Malik
Rizwan
Hafeez
Shadab

 

[Rana]

Very dissapointing by Pakistan really. They have been unlucky in the series but it is unlikely they will win this match.

 

[topspin]

If Imad can bat till the end they will make 250

 

[imshally81]

Match ke mujrim today

Malik
Rizwan
Shadab

Rizwan should be on the top...

 

[Rana]

What was imam doing there in the dressing room?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Is SA slow on over-rate?

 

[Hawkeye]

People bashing Rizwan are forgetting Sarfarzs performance in last 2 years.

Sarfraz isn't, and has never been as bad as Rizwan.

Everyone knows I don't like Sarf's batting.

But, even he is far ahead than a tailender-level Rizwan.

 

[Sirris]

Can Shinwari and Afridi even hold a bat?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seriously poor innings from Rizwan and Shadab today.

And Hafeez and Malik lol

 

[iRfaN_LA]

another over wasted.

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan should be on the top...

The specialist captain needs to be at the top, with experience of 20 years.

Malik is embarrassing.

 

[Babbar]

Last 4 overs 40 runs, and Pakistan is back in business.

 

[ILcricket]

Is SA slow on over-rate?

yes , partial blame with Malik's loo break .

 

[Hbomb00]

another over wasted.

I think they done a very good job lol Shinwari and Shaheen both can't bat

 

[Rana]

Imad needs to take the strike and charge here. 20-30 runs are going to be vital for Pakistan and only he can get them for us really

 

[iRfaN_LA]

What was imam doing there in the dressing room?

commentators went all quiet

 

[imshally81]

Lucky Imad...

 

[ILcricket]

Faf picking Phelu over Steyn . wow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Steyn is a poor death bowler. So not a bad idea to give phelu a go

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lol, cant hit a six

 

[Green Patriot]

Bach gaya.

 

[Rana]

Lucky!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

he will score a 60 today and the total would be 245-8 in 50 overs i think

may be Im right...looks like 245-8 in 50 overs coming up

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

230 may be??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Most pakistan batsmen play the bouncers exact the same way. Kamran used to be good

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Phelu is difficult at this stage. Mixing it up.

 

[topspin]

Few sixes needed here

 

[Rana]

Pace off the ball is the way forward. Glad we have Amir and Shinwari playing

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imad is no maxwell or miller. But he makes the most of what he has.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need a strong last 3 overs

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Lucky!

350+ wicket

 

[Green Patriot]

Not even 1 six in the whole innings.

 

[yuvi]

Why Phelu still bowling?

 

[Chokli]

commentators went all quiet

what was he doing?

 

[rhony]

250 can be challenging

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

How is the pitch? Any pitch expert here?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

What a torture of an innings. Please bring back Afridi into this pathetic team.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Woth 270 pak would have won eyes closed

 

[Rana]

250 is still on, would take some wonderful hitting though. I cant see much urgency on Imad's face

 

[IMMY69]

Imad is class

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not even 1 six in the whole innings.

Surprising given the smaller boundaries. But they missed out on half trackers from Imran Tahir.

 

[Chokli]

Not even 1 six in the whole innings.

should tell you it's a difficult pitch

 

[Shafi]

Sadab 19 of 42???? Pathetic

 

[topspin]

Not even 1 six in the whole innings.

Which is why if only Fakhar just waited a little longer for Tahir to come on he would have cashed in as he was well set.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How is the pitch? Any pitch expert here?

You can't judge based on how Pak middle order played. They batted as if ball is stopping and coming. I don't think that is the case.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Rana]

Why are they not running the first one hard???

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

 

[ILcricket]

221/8 & youngster gone

 

[iRfaN_LA]

WTH is Amir doing. Just play a proper shot or get off strike.

 

[Chokli]

What a torture of an innings. Please bring back Afridi into this pathetic team.

that is one of the reasons why we're in the shape that we're in.

we fail to move on and develop players.

 

[IMMY69]

Amir is not class.

He literally backs away to everything now that’s he’s been exposed to the short ball.
