Zimbabwe (205) beat Pakistan (60/6) by 80 runs (DLS method) in the 1st ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series

Here comes the man of the series for Australia ODI series. HARIS
 
Mohsin Naqli truly a traitor of Pak.. Baba losing precious icc odi ranking points by dropping him!!
 
I miss the golden brief era where M Amir, M Asif & Shabbir Ahmed would open with the new ball and the opposition will be restricted to less than 2 runs an over.

Them days every Tom Dick & Harry slogs our average pace attack.
 
Sajid Khan deserved a go in ODI's. He's been great on slow turners like these.
Can bat as well.

We've still not learnt. No specialist experienced spinners in the squad ahead of champions trophy
 
This is what can happen when part-timers are bowling. freebies every over.
 
What a pathetic shot after drinks. Agha strikes. 4 down now for 83 runs.

COME ON PAKISTAN
 
Same old defensive formula of bowling first. Should've batted first and given the guys as much time as possible to set up a big total. If they skittle out Zim for a low total, the top order could just tuk tuk their way to a win.
Like I said, Zimb are going to be skittled out for a low total and we tuk tuk the chase, playing extra batters is to test them, batting first should be the only way to go
 
Our bowling is settled apart from a spin bowler but we got many options, main thing is settling the batting order
You're only unsettling by playing an extra batter.

You need at least full 5 bowling options in One Day and at least 6 competent batters against big teams

Yes but like I said our bowling is settled and main bowlers rested, they will not play this bowling line up against bigger teams, main goal is to sort out the batting and that will only happen if we bat first. But the more things change, the more they remain the same
 
Faisal gets his first wicket in ODIs.... Brilliant stuff from him earned him a wicket
 
Rizwan initially a Misbah prodigy but as captain he is antidote of Misbah ideology
 
he looked more mature and clever yes. Faisal should be invested in as well. He is good
Sufviyan was troubling the likes of Maxwell. He even bowled well against India with likes of Tilak Verma in the emerging Asia Cup.

Just different temperaments from both the spinners I guess

They would too get slogged today. The game has changed.
 
Why wasnt jahandad selected for this.series if shaheen wasnt playing
There's a few discrepancies in the squad.

Arafat Minhas was selected for AUS ODIs but not ZIM ODIs. Faisal Akram made both squads but performed worse than Minhas in Champions Cup (averaging 70 at 7.36 RPO) - although possesses a good List A record and is bowling well here.

And as you said Jahandad misses out despite being one of the lead performers in the Champions Cup.

There could've been more consistency in selection across these white ball tours.
