Pakistan (151/5) defeat Zimbabwe (147/8) by 5 wickets in a thrilling encounter in the opener of Tri-Nation T20I series

[harshjoshi87]

Cramer in Zimbabwe team after 7-8 years

 

[harshjoshi87]

Usman bechara kuch run kar bhai.

Na ghar ka rahega na ghat ka.

 

[Markhor]

To call him Zimbabar is an insult…… to Zimbabwe

There's a headcase on here who I won't give the dignity of naming who says Babar shouldn't be removed from any format regardless of form.

Permanence without performance.

I mean that kinda defeats the purpose of professional sport but there you go.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Mohammad Nawaz will take his 2022 WT20 revenge vs Zimbabwe

Cramer in Zimbabwe team after 7-8 years

Really? I thought he was always part of the team..my mixed up with someone else.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Good shot by Usman

 

[globetrotter]

Today Babar failed against his favorite team

 

[Asif321]

Usman will book his ticket to Srilanka today

 

[harshjoshi87]

Really? I thought he was always part of the team..my mixed up with someone else.

Yeah back after a very long time

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Usman needs to score atleast 40-50 runs here

 

[harshjoshi87]

As long as Fakhar stays at the crease, Pak are safe.

 

[jnaveen1980]

As long as Fakhar stays at the crease, Pak are safe.

If dew set in if not alreayd bowlers will struggle to grip you will see many drag downs

 

[gazza619]

Usman has got bit of a start. I can see @Rana all excited and already preparing a new thread on Usman Khan vs Riz

 

[Devadwal]

half-tracker one after one.

 

[Aami]

Come on Usman, we need you to make runs ...

 

[Asif321]

Usman has got bit of a start. I can see @Rana all excited and already preparing a new thread on Usman Khan vs Riz

Usman is better suited for middle order in t20 . Rizwan can only open in t20

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar Azam special! You can't take him out of the game! King level catch!

his job is to bat , getting out on duck against his favourite team Zimbar

 

[AAli98]

If you’re going to struggle v zimb might as well do an India & start pitch doctoring.

Abra & co won’t let zimb Lanka cross 60

 

[RidiculousMan]

Cramer in Zimbabwe team after 7-8 years

What was he doing all these years?

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you’re going to struggle v zimb might as well do an India & start pitch doctoring.

Abra & co won’t let zimb Lanka cross 60

Using industrial fans? Lol

 

[saabir]

Watching Graeme Cremer bowl after so long feels nostalgic. I still remember his debut under Tatenda Taibu.

 

[Rana]

Usman needs to score atleast 40-50 runs here

No you want him to score at least 100 here

 

[RidiculousMan]

Amir Sohail doesn't like Fakhar's aggression. He prefers singles

 

[Asif321]

You can’t convince me otherwise
Fakhar is still pakistans best batter in LOI .

 

[Asif321]

Amir Sohail doesn't like Fakhar's aggression. He prefers singles

Amir sohail when Babar takes a simple catch “ look at that catch by Babar he looks relaxed now “

 

[saabir]

What was he doing all these years?

He was doing coaching in Dubai

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Farhan is waste of time and space

he is the only one scoring with intent in the PP , Saim on the other hand is putting huge amount of pressure on farhan to play his shots... When it was Rizwan and Saim opening , Saim was on the receiving end of the same shxt by Rizwan... Saim was 3(9) when Farhan hit 3-4 boundaries in the PP already... Saim scored 22 with probably 15 to 20 dot balls..

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fakhar Zaman is an anomaly in Pakistan Cricket. It's really a miracle how he managed to rise to the top of Pakistan Cricket system.

 

[Asif321]

Play him as opener , drop him at 4 , now throw him at 6 he still shows who is the real king . Fauji for a reason

 

[RidiculousMan]

Play him as opener , drop him at 4 , now throw him at 6 he still shows who is the real king . Fauji for a reason

An experienced player who plays for Pakistan. Not for self. You will find this quality in a lot of international players outside of Pakistan. Like Buttler, Maxwell, etc

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fakhar Zaman is an anomaly in Pakistan Cricket. It's really a miracle how he managed to rise to the top of Pakistan Cricket system.

Bit his T20 career is very poor. He has shots against certain lengths. Otherwise very limited to be successful in T20

 

[saabir]

Fakhar and Usman looking very comfortable. Looks like pitched have eased out

 

[Justcrazy]

33 from 25 balls

Pakistan doing well. They should win this.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Another great innings. Fakhar has brought the game in Pakistan's hand.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan making this chase tough for themselves.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bit his T20 career is very poor. He has shots against certain lengths. Otherwise very limited to be successful in T20

A Great player still and a match winner.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan making this chase tough for themselves.

Should be easy. Nawaz is here and Faheem to come. They are in hot form enough with the bat to chase this.

 

[Asif321]

Usman khan is right choice for Srilanka conditions . Backing harris would have been bad decision

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

No you want him to score at least 100 here

I simply want him to pull his weight in this team!

 

[Asif321]

Babar is really not needed in this line up .

 

[Justcrazy]

24 from 17 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batting is not looking convincing.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Is there no better WK Batter in Zimbabwe than Taylor?

 

[Justcrazy]

Just a single , big heave but not good timing

 

[Omer2002]

Usman looks cluless to me.

 

[Asif321]

Is there no better WK Batter in Zimbabwe than Taylor?

Taylor is their legend it’s amazing he still playing I guess saw him 2007 first time .

 

[Justcrazy]

17 from 12 balls.

Pakistan need to target 10 from this over

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Usman needs to score atleast 40-50 runs here

9 more runs needed by Usman

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan can still lose from here

 

[Justcrazy]

Just singles coming , pakistan need to find a boundary somewhere

 

[Omer2002]

i dont trust him to be honest

 

[RidiculousMan]

Taylor is their legend it’s amazing he still playing I guess saw him 2007 first time .

Yea he's a legend. But he's past his prime and not in great shape.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dropped

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz almost messed it up again

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Usman looks cluless to me.

as always , certified gully mohalla cricketer, when does he look like Buttler or Gilchrist for you...

 

[Justcrazy]

Big shot , but catch dropped.

 

[Omer2002]

dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

No Ball

Free hit available to pakistan.

 

[Asif321]

Yea he's a legend. But he's past his prime and not in great shape.

Looks better than Babar and Naseem shah in terms of fitness

 

[ask_analyse_act]

watch how usman bottle this free hit

 

[RidiculousMan]

Circus moment. Batter edges it and the fielder misses it

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow ball , mis field and this goes for four.

pressure released.

 

[Asif321]

Usman the savior

 

[RidiculousMan]

watch how usman bottle this free hit

He did his best. The fielder though was very generous

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a team this is

 

[GudduBadmash]

If they take this batting lineup to the world cup it will be severe embarrassment, if you cant beat Zimbabwe convincingly on the flattest track in Pakistan you are useless

 

[jnaveen1980]

This hackish innings will do more harm to Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So is Usman a Zimbasher now

 

[ask_analyse_act]

watch how usman bottle this free hit

saved by the misfield from a 40 yr old returnee..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Under lights gripping seems to be harder?

 

[Energy]

A thriller is being bestowed upon us here. One batsman is being dropped at the boundary, the other cannot get a single shot of the middle of the bat and instead edging and getting 4s on misfields. And smiling afterwards.

It's all happening in this battle for the ages.

 

[Devadwal]

What a thriller between eventually matches team. No ball and dropped catch is different here.

This is why cricket needs two tier system. Minnow vs Minnows produce a thriller

:kl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4

1 to win now off 5

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a beautiful shot by Nawaz. Carved it for four

 

[ask_analyse_act]

So is Usman a Zimbasher now

he cant bash UAE too... such an ugly inns to watch... he is strategically placed in the side to pave the way for Rizwan for WT20...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We need to get rid of Agha and Babar from the batting line up.

Bring in maaz and Irfan niazi

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz MOtM

 

[Justcrazy]

F O U R

that seals the deal.

Nawaz plays a fine cameo under pressure.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Dropped Catch, No Ball and then Misfield

The real match ka Mujrim

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 more and Pak win by 5 wickets

Nawaz does it
