Zimbabwe (133/8) defeat Pakistan (132/7) in a nail-biting encounter by 2 wickets to register win in the 3rd T20I - Pakistan win the series by 2-1

[RidiculousMan]

If you drop Usman then who would be your backup keeper?

Haseeb, Haris, Rohail. They are all better players than him.

 

[m.shah]

Haseeb, Haris, Rohail. They are all better players than him.

Agreed He should back to uae

 

[khyberlion]

Abbas needs to work on his game. He can a solid no 8 in tests. He's got decent potential with the bat to be a solid no 8.

 

[m.shah]

I don't mind the result of this match. Pakistan has already won series and they tried new players which is good to see and right approach. There was a time when Misbah and babar didn't allow new comers to play in dead rubber matches. Thank god they both are gone.

 

[m.shah]

Abbas needs to work on his game. He can a solid no 8 in tests. He's got decent potential with the bat to be a solid no 8.

I don't think in tests he has a game but good number 8 in odis and t20

 

[Speedster1]

4 off the 1st ball from hasnain not good start

 

[m.shah]

Oh we have Hasnain opening bowling. Chancing of defending low

 

[Kianig89]

If you drop Usman then who would be your backup keeper?

Rohail Nazir AzamKhan

 

[Kianig89]

Spinner should bowl in PP,
Hasmain and Jk will leak runs

 

[m.shah]

Arafat is a good fielder too

 

[khyberlion]

I don't think in tests he has a game but good number 8 in odis and t20

His batting will be fine at 8 in tests but his bowling requires a lot of improvement for tests

 

[Kianig89]

Very rare Pakistan whitewashed some.team in 3 game Series

 

[m.shah]

Hasnain drops a sitter

 

[khyberlion]

Husnain useless as ever. This is the reason why I dislike players who can bat or field while being average bowlers too.

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic Hasnain should not be served dinner tonight

 

[Kianig89]

Shoaib Malik whitewashed Zim in 5 Odi series back in 2008

agha can join elite company

 

[adi_62941]

Husnain useless as ever. This is the reason why I dislike players who can bat or field while being average bowlers too.

Karachi parchi and quota. Mohammad sami v2.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan need wickets

 

[m.shah]

Marmani on fire

 

[Ahmed216]

Hasnain is waste of time and a spot

 

[adi_62941]

Shoaib Malik whitewashed Zim in 5 Odi series back in 2008

agha can join elite company

That was the time when we built 11 match winning streaks in ODI by winning against zimbabwe and bangladesh at home.

 

[m.shah]

Spinners plz

 

[khyberlion]

Karachi parchi and quota. Mohammad sami v2.

Sami was far better in all departments. His bowling potential was great such a shame he never fulfilled it, but yes Husnain seems to be picked on some sort of quota.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan making sure they make the hosts win a game before they depart to the next destination.

 

[shah_1]

Hasnain is a very much club level bowler, even worse with his new action

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Again Muqeem might try and get a few so....

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowls one outside leg and the next outside off. Definition of garbage.

And one of the worst fielders going around in world cricket

 

[m.shah]

What a poor bowler Hasnain is

 

[khyberlion]

Can't believe this rubbish has been selected in odis against SA. Hopefully he will be serving the drinks only.

 

[sindhiboy]

Batting 2nd innings is clearly alot easier

 

[m.shah]

19 of the over

 

[followed]

Hasnain was always mediocre but he had pace before but now he has become a harmless trundler.
Kick him out.

 

[mb3407]

Lol Zimbabwe is bazballing against pak

 

[imshally81]

Gone...

 

[m.shah]

Batting 2nd innings is clearly alot easier

Bowling has been trash as well

 

[Ahmed216]

Bennett > Farhan > Babar

 

[followed]

Lol salman Agha has screw lose. He should give overs to the main spinners.

 

[followed]

Lol he has picked up a wicket but he shouldn't waste overs and bowl sufiyan and Arafat in tandem.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mohammad Hasnain conceded 19 runs in his second over against Zimbabwe in the 3rd T20I, with Brian Bennett hitting boundaries off his bowling with ease.

 

[followed]

Bring sufiyan muqeem already.

 

[Ahmed216]

Plumb lbw not given

 

[m.shah]

Spell of muqeem will be crucial

 

[m.shah]

Wow that's plumb

 

[followed]

Brian Bennet has strike rate of 150 wow that too after playing more than 25 matches.

 

[followed]

Brian Bennett can take the match away if he stays out there long.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Brian Bennett is more talented than all PAK batters except Saim

 

[neonoir]

Zim have a good core of young players and with the diaspora coming back to play like Ben Curran they have a good future.

Hopefully the ICC invests in them and gives them a fair share so they can expand

 

[followed]

Arafat minhas is not a wicket taker but can contain runs he is economical.

 

[sweep_shot]

Zimbabwe need 73 off 78. 9 wickets in hand.

Pakistan need some tight overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Surface played better in second innings

 

[neonoir]

Zim have a good core of young players and with the diaspora coming back to play like Ben Curran they have a good future.

Just a quick idea regarding how to get investment in Zim cricket, with the SA20 tournament being so successful in neighboring South Africa and it being the sole reason CSA is staying afloat right now.

Wouldn't it be an interesting idea if they could add a Zim franchise team in there like how Swansea and Cardiff play in English football or Canadian teams in the MLS.

 

[m.shah]

Zimbabwe in good position

 

[m.shah]

Set batter gone. Zimbabwe commentators should try to remain neutral.

 

[Kianig89]

Sufyan Muqeem only he can do this

 

[Asif321]

Babar Azam is the only Pakistani captain to lose an T20 vs Zimbabwe . Agha can join Bobby today

 

[Speedster1]

Could be the opening here for Pak spinners. Think we might just win it

 

[followed]

Abbas Afridi is a trundler but it seems like he has found his ceiling against mighty Zimbabwe.
On these wickets his slower ultra slower balls are quite helpful.

 

[Ahmed216]

Seems only Raza can win this for Zim

 

[followed]

Lol Abbas Afridi is 2nd coming of Malcolm Marshall against mighty Zimbabwe.
Good trundler go

 

[followed]

Lol looks this match has makings of a classic.
It could be a nail-biter..

 

[m.shah]

Abbas Afridi is a trundler but it seems like he has found his ceiling against mighty Zimbabwe.

He has been the best fast bowler for Pakistan in t 20 for some time

 

[Kianig89]

Agha should have used Abass earlier

 

[Kianig89]

The spectators are so lucky to witness Malcolm Marshall Asian version

 

[followed]

He has been the best fast bowler for Pakistan in t 20 for some time

First of all he is not a fast bowler. It's disrespectful for fast bowlers to be compared with this trundler and Secondly before this series he had economy of nearly 10 before this series.
He will always get phainty against top teams.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Nice fielding, things getting tighter

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan are a so marketable team , a thriller it is supposed to be a dead rubber it was

 

[m.shah]

Good spell from Arafat

 

[Kianig89]

Hopefully this will go to the wire

 

[Kianig89]

Zim passing by Muqeem

 

[followed]

Arafat is very economical and he is quite accurate. He needs to develop his batting and he can be quite useful for Pakistan with bat and ball.

 

[m.shah]

Maiden over from Muqeem

 

[Shafi]

Hasnain is such a worse bowler. S Africa batsmen will murder this idiot.

 

[Kianig89]

Zim doing epic tuk tuk , paying homage to Misbah

 

[Ahmed216]

Zim doing epic tuk tuk , paying homage to Misbah

So unfortunate to see. Their number 7 is batting like a number 11

 

[followed]

Lol tashinga guy is 1 off 11 balls and he has strike rate of 191.

 

[Kianig89]

Abbas should get another wicket

 

[imshally81]

Salman should bowl another over

 

[imshally81]

Bad fielding

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Was a sensible knock from A Minhas
