What's new

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

It appears that the Pakistani pacers didn't fully exploit the green juice and uneven bounce, pace of the wicket.

Rizwan is the luckiest cricketer on this planet.

A) Born in Pakistan which is the only country where nepotism wins.

B) Connected to Misbah who fast tracked him with zero performances, misbah was also fast tracked by Waqar.

Had Misbah and Rizwan been good enough, Misbah would have played in the early 2000's and Rizwan would have been mainstay since 2015.

Misbah ensured that the narrative of Babar and rizwan being Pakistan's main batters would be the narrative that would stick.

C) Misbah further made it easy by ensuring rubbish selections would whitewash Pakistan in t20 by sri lanka and when questioned on this, he made sure to not let sarfi speak and got aggressive with the people who interviewed him.

And after becoming a millionaire via rubbish connections and still being a rubbish player, he still hasn't given back to the fans what he owes them.
 

Pakistan batters ruin Faisal's three-wicket debut​


New-look Pakistan batting ruined Faisal Akram’s impressive debut as Zimbabwe won the first ODI by 80 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method here on Sunday.

Faisal returned figures of 8-0-24-3 and combined with Salman Ali Agha (three for 42) to dismiss Zimbabwe for 205 in 40.2 overs. However, a horror batting display by Pakistan batters left the tourists reeling at 60 for six in 21 overs before rain down and ended any further play.

Only three Pakistan batters reached double-figures with captain Mohammad Rizwan scoring 19 not out, followed by Kamran Ghulam 17 and Saim Ayub 11. Muhammad Irfan Khan scored seven, Salman Ali Agha four, Abdullah Shafique one and Haseebullah no score were the disappointments of the day

Sikandar Raza claimed two for seven, Blessing Muzarabani picked up two for nine and Sean Williams snapped up two for 12.

Earlier, Zimbabwe batted positively on a slow deck despite being regularly losing wickets to be dismissed for 205 in 40.2 overs. No.9 batter Richard Ngarava with 48 off 52 balls with five fours and a six was the top-scorer, followed by Sikandar Raza (39), Tadiwanashe Marumani (29), Sean Williams (23) and Brian Bennett (20) being the other run-scorers.

Zimbabwe were 125 for seven after the halfway stage before Ngarava and Raza put on 62 runs for the eighth wicket off 69 balls. The other partnership of note was for the first wicket when Marumani and Joylord Gumbie (15) put on 40 runs in 35 balls.

21-year-old Faisal Akram, a product of the PCB’s Pathways Programme and a former Pakistan U16 and U19 left-arm wrist spinner, accounted for Raza, Mavuta and Muzarabani to make a memorable debut.

While Salman Ali Agha also made an impact with his off-spinners, taking three wickets for 42 runs, the pace trio of Aamir Jamal, Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf had a tough day on a slow surface, collectively conceding 121 runs for three wickets in 21.2 overs (economy-rate of 5.7).

The second ODI will be played on Tuesday at the same venue.

Scores in brief:

Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by 80 runs in DLS method

Zimbabwe 205, all-out 40.2 overs (Richard Ngarava 48, Sikandar Raza 39, Tadiwanashe Marumani 29, Sean Williams 23, Brian Bennett 20; Faisal Akram 3-24, Salman Ali Agha 3-42)

Pakistan 60-6, 21 overs (Sikandar Raza 2-7, Blessing Muzarabani 2-9, Sean Williams 2-12)

And you still have posters here trying to defend Rizwan with posts such as "Rizwan is always an easy target".

Well yes he just scored 19 off 43 balls. It's inexcusable.

Rizwan played an innings that Misbah would be proud of.
 
Consitency in performance is severely lacking. Pakistan cricket team can win on a day and lose another day. Sadly there are no consistent good players. It is not right to put the blame on single players.

Ya i think conditions will suit spin bowlers pak should go all spin here

Not sure about all-spin but definitely not more than 2 pacers.

I expect pitches to be sluggish. So, slow bowlers should do well.

This is the type of pitch where even part-time spinners like Saim Ayub may do well.

How misbah is still most successful test captain and rizwan still best keeper.
Why no one beat them. Sarfraz Captained test team and played as keeper yet doesnt have great returns.
Dont be so down for hatred and accept that the new players coming through arent good enough as of now.
 
Missed the 2nd innings , honestly did the Zim spinners bowled well or the insipid display of our batters is more to blame

Zero civility and zero confidence.

I have to get the violins out every time they play this emotional “easy target” trick with me
 
No shock here, what a shambolic selection of batsmen for this series. The only reason this wasn't exposed in Aussie series was because of low totals team was chasing.

With all due respect, how does this contradict what I claimed?

Do you even know the story of Misbah and Rizwan and how they got shoved into the team?

Waqar younis did them a big favour.

Now about the test captain thing. Misbah was atrocious overseas. UAE is different and while people associate luck with sarfi I'm surprised they don't do the same with Misbah.

Misbah was a test player was just okay, he had good innings here and their but mostly he was just alright. The main advantage that misbah had was that Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul and many others were already an established part of the set up and so was asad shafiq.

Misbah's decison to put shafiq at 6 ended up working and he lucked out cause shafiq wasn't that good but no 6 was made into his own.

During misbah's era the opening was always a mess and for a while he also stubbornly insisted with adnan akmal over sarfi who wasn't that good.

It was that monster combo of azhar + Younis that won most games plus the spinners.

Shan masood proved against England that he could win games just by spamming said kham and nouman Ali on end. Misbah was no different.

He was lucky he had quality spinners and lucky that yasir Shah was able to replace saeed ajmal in tests.

Misbah inherited a team and he just shuffled orders. In odi he was atrocious and same in t20. You could give Shan masood the team misbah had and he'd go on a winning streak lol.

Now as for Rizwan. Rizwan is not the best wk bat pakistan has ever had. He's one of the worst lol.

Tbf 200 is a low total. Australia was genuinely rubbish in that tour.

Zimbabwe on the other hand are proving that by accurately bowling simple lines with pace and spin they can easily bundle pakistan out.

The batters do not know how to play spin and they do not attack pace. Theirs no effort to come down the crease and attack or play unorthodox strokes like England does or try to loft etc.

In other words the bowlers have no need to change their line and length for fear of being hit.

Zimbabwe already knows that as long as they don't bowl on the body particularly to saim, Rizwan and Abdullah then it's easy picking.

The less said about Pakistan opening pair the better, the simply don't have the ability to go after the bowling when bowlers are bowling so called restricted lines. This pair looks even slower and worse than Abid Ali and imam.

Rizwans inns was a shambles and pretty much summed up the entire poor batting effort.

If this is what Pakistan batting Is going to offer going into CT and next world cup, then it's minnow level batting.

Again and again u have failed to name better career wise keeper than rizwan and u bring the argument of sarfraz in his peak was better. Lol waqar in his peak was better than any bowler.

Secondly if it was that easy to win then why the goat sarfi failed

Secondly misbah as test player will make it yo playing xi rn seeing how bad they are against spin. He and younis used to eat these spinners

Lastly adnan akmal was safest hands in pakistan when he made it to the team. He is one of the safest keepers we ever produced but sarfraz outscored him in batting when he came in the team
 
Pakistan was actually lucky to win in Aus who were over-confident and showed a reckless batting display throughout the ODI series.

Sarfi didn't have the same team in tests lol. Azhar Ali and many of the others were has beens and shehzad's replacements like imam and abid weren't great either.

Younis Khan use to eat spinners. Not misbah lol.
 
Pakistan cricket is enigma. Players who should have been in team are sitting out. How are your best ODI batters in domestic cricket? Shaan masood and imam ul haq and both aren't a part of team. Who are your best potential batters ? Tayyab tahir and Qasim akram. Both are still not part of playing XI although tayab is in Zimbabwe.i see it difficult for Pakistan to move to quarterfinal stage in upcoming champions Trophy. I hope better sense prevails.still Pakistan have lot of odi under their sleeve before champions Trophy kicks in and they sort their combination and stick to it.
If I was at charge my ODI team in batting orderfrom now onwards will be
1)Shaan masood
2)Babar Azam
3)Saim Ayoub
4)Tayyab Tahir
5) M. Rizwan
6) Iftikhaar
7) Qasim Akram
8) sufiyaan muqeem
9) shaheen
10) naseem
11) Haris
Reserves
12) Imam
13) Kamran ghulam
14) Minhas arafat
15) dhani

Babar would have been a sitting duck here. This is a spin galore pitch where the likes of saim and Agha are bowling well even though their trundlers.

Babar is just as bad as the rest when it comes to playing spin.

Saud shakeel should have been here instead. He's the best player of spin in the country.

However yes Babar would have handled the first 10 overs better them Abdullah, Saim, Kamran and Rizwan. Babar is a much better player of spin then these 4. The score wouldn't have been so low and pressure would have been put on Zimbabwe.

But he'd get out on the 12th or 13th

If you dont think misbah was way ahead of this team when it comes to playing spinners then i can't say much

Also abid ali was better than shahzad for uae conditions ig u have short memory

You dont rmr adnans keeping abids batting and all u rmr is no look shots and sarfrazs peak

Dont be biased for your ego and talk facts and the fact is babar is our best odi player
Rizwan is best keeper we had
And sarfraz tho good in patches wasnt as great as u make him to be and cricket fraternity doesnt even remember him

Zimbos on their home turf are no pushovers. They always play well in their home.

Rude awakening for Pakistan. They cannot take Zimbos lightly. They have to up their game asap.
 
Didn't watch the match but saw the highlights and I couldn't believe even Zimbabwe is playing modern cricket by playing aggressively during the power play. Scored around 60 runs in the PP and it really feels like Pakistan are on an island of their own with the way they bat in the power play in ODI's & T20's.

They might lose all their games. These are spin galore pitches and pak vatters can't play spin.

Somebody has paid money to say he is done with pak team lol
 
Zimbabwe always wins few games so why Pakistanis are beating themselves up. They will win rest and win the series also. It’s not that zimbos are going to become super talented over the night. So chill out and enjoy
 
Somebody rope in the saviour Babar Azam because that’s the solution to all their woes, the King has turned into Viv Richards overnight
 
Certain Pakistan fans are use to these humilitions, in fact they enjoy them to, it’s a kinky relationship; only way to comprehend the blind worship and delusion. These players are still being defended, especially their leader.
