Zimbabwe defeat Pakistan in Super Over, Pakistan win ODI series 2-1

[shah_1]

Imad>>>>>Ifti Chaca(batting)

 

[uberkoen]

We need that 35 ball 100 Shah saab!

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like Pakistan are losing this game unless Babar hits a 150.

 

[sweep_shot]

187 runs are needed from 31 overs. 5 wickets in hand.

 

[Kroll]

wow. Did you figure that out all by yourself captain obvious?

well, with it only being zim and babar still there, ppl r still convinced we're favs

 

[uberkoen]

Imad>>>>>Ifti Chaca(batting)

My Grandma >> Ifti Chacha

 

[Energy]

So much for the consistent persistence with Rizwan and Iftikhar.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Khushdil gets a lucky 4

 

[msb314]

Good shot by deubtuant

 

[Arsal_AK]

He can learn in domestic. He couldn't adapt after seeing the situation and neither did he tey.

Just another brainless cricketer we have selected over the years.

No. He will learn in the internationals too. Domestics won't do much for him where he will dominate. We need to back batsmen. Look at what India did with Rohit. Haider will come good.

Neither is Haider in ODIs.

Poor mans Umar Akmals with this legside slogging.

We need proper batsmen nurtured but unfortunately never given a chance.

Abdullah Shafiq and Saud Shakeel are better options in the middle order.

Haider is much more than just a leg side slogger. Anyone who has seen him bat can attest to the fact.

And already is much more mature than Umar Akmal will ever be.

Abdullah is good and it's frustrating to see him not get even a single game so I agree with you there.

Saud needs to play a few innings and he will be in contention as well.

Rizwan has made a case for the return of Sarfraz in LOI cricket

I hope not. Giving Rohail the backup keeper job tells me they are moving on from Sarfraz. It should be Rohail who is next in line especially considering the 2023 WC.

I fear you might be right though, I can't trust Misbah with anything at this point.

And people say “we do not need Haris,” “He is too one-dimensional”

It's not poeple's fault if Hairs can't play two games in a row. If he continues to remain this unfit then they are right. We are better off looking at other people and in Haider, Abdullah we have options to try out.

Babar azam has the chance to play his Only Impactful match-winning Innings in International cricket So far ..against Weakest Zimbabwe Though
Lets Hope He Doesn't Bottle it like Always

Yup, the century against NZ for one didn't happen.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow the insight from Rameez "List A cricket is 50 over Cricket" no way Rameez!

 

[Muddaser]

Misbah the biggest choker I have ever seen is our coach.

That says enough.

This guy who couldn't score 1 off 3 against India then bottled it in the final against India again when it mattered.

 

[Rana]

So Khushdil, a naturally Badtameez player has to play with Tameez (against his nature) because the guys before him couldn’t handle pressure

 

[Mamoon]

Just tuned in.

Waa bhai waa ) ) )

 

[Rana]

Rameez so bored he’s making fun of Tripano’s name

 

[sweep_shot]

Good opportunity for Khushdil to make a name for himself.

Wahab is next.

 

[Goooby]

Tiripano falls for the 3rd time after he delivers the ball. Rameez Raja - "Should probably call him Tripano today, keeps tripping" lool

 

[Goooby]

With Jet SR of 64....

His strike rate is 80. not 65

 

[The lone Ranger]

Babar azam has the chance to play his Only Impactful match-winning Innings in International cricket So far ..against Weakest Zimbabwe Though
Lets Hope He Doesn't Bottle it like Always

He played one in the wc. scored 100 off 130 after getting a life earlier in his innings and gave a good company to Haris who scored something like 70 off 80

 

[Rayyman]

Good opportunity for Khushdil to make a name for himself.

Wahab is next.

Have a feeling that Khushdil and Wahab will take Pakistan close before Babar goes Kohli-mode batting with the tail.

 

[msb314]

Debutant also needs to rotate strike!

 

[Kaddy]

You have recently joined this forum. So, I suppose you must be very young back then when he chased a target against New Zealand on a difficult wicket in 2019 World cup.

Remember, India couldn't chase similar total against them.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar playing on a different pitch to rest of our awful batsmen.

 

[Goooby]

Good opportunity for Khushdil to make a name for himself.

Wahab is next.

Really hope he does well here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar 100 needed and Khusdil needs to stay there with him.

 

[sweep_shot]

Sikandar is being quite economical (like he usually does). Best bowler from Zimbabwe possibly.

 

[Hasan123]

This performance has not been good enough.

 

[msb314]

Need a few boundaries now..

 

[jiduguravindra]

This performance has not been good enough.

Irresponsible batting.no footwork at all..stayed in the grease and wafting their bats in hope of connecting them.

 

[sweep_shot]

Zimbabwe introduced another spinner. Required run rate is now 6.4.

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 should bat the next 10 overs and take it from there.

 

[msb314]

Too much tuk tuk

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to pick up the pace a bit

 

[Ahmed_99]

We want some badtameezi

 

[watson367]

Can't even beat Zimbabwe. lmao

 

[Cric1234]

They have no option but to consolidate any more wickets it s the bowlers

 

[Rayyman]

Too much tuk tuk

No it’s fine. They can easily get 120 in the last 15/16 overs.

 

[PakPremi]

How has Iftikhar been given so many opportunities? His bowling is rubbish, does not even spin and in batting never scores anything decent even with enty of overs in hand.
No Fahim no Iftikhar everyone else OK to be given chances to grab their opportunities.

 

[silentkiller187]

perfect time for kushdil to justify his selection in the team.

 

[msb314]

Much needed boundary!

 

[Kaddy]

Run rate is going above 6. I think Khushdil needs to play a little more aggressively now.

 

[Hasan123]

4 for Kushdil. This is a chance to cement himself in the team. Bit worried that we see him as an Imad replacement. I don't think much of his bowling. He should be batting at 5 or 6.

 

[msb314]

No it’s fine. They can easily get 120 in the last 15/16 overs.

Not so sure when these two are the last recognized pair

 

[Tubs]

Babar and Happy Heart need to take this deep.

 

[silentkiller187]

Can't even beat Zimbabwe. lmao

calm down its only a dead rubber, have to show the visitors some hospitality

 

[watson367]

How has Iftikhar been given so many opportunities? His bowling is rubbish, does not even spin and in batting never scores anything decent even with enty of overs in hand.

senior citizen took 5 wickets. Now he will be persisted with until 2027 WC.

 

[sweep_shot]

Free hit time. Sikandar overstepped.

Just a single. Khushdil couldn't maximize it.

 

[watson367]

calm down its only a dead rubber, have to show the visitors some hospitality

we are minnows because of this mentality.

 

[msb314]

Should have cut that!

 

[sweep_shot]

115/5 after 25 overs.

164 runs are needed from 25 overs.

 

[shah_1]

calm down its only a dead rubber, have to show the visitors some hospitality

This match has points, it is not a dead rubber.

 

[silentkiller187]

we are minnows because of this mentality.

we are minnows because our players are not good enough, mentality and all of that comes after. if we haven't got the talent what do you expect to happen?

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol it is amusing to wake up and seeing Zimbabwe embarrass us.

No one can ever say Pakistan is not consistent. They are very good at being very inconsistent.

 

[Rana]

Khushdil might as well play his natural game.

Either way, the management is going to drop him

 

[uberkoen]

50 up for Babar!

 

[uberkoen]

Khushdil might as well play his natural game.

Either way, the management is going to drop him

Why do you say that?

 

[Cric1234]

Maybe we will see Musas hidden talent with the bat.

 

[watson367]

we are minnows because our players are not good enough, mentality and all of that comes after. if we haven't got the talent what do you expect to happen?

Its a combination of too many factors. I don't want to write an essay.

 

[uberkoen]

Look at that $200 jackpot board. Amazing stuff!

 

[sweep_shot]

This is turning out to be a good partnership.

 

[Rayyman]

Good little partnership this. Bobby and Khushdil looking well set. Hope Pakistan win from here.

 

[uberkoen]

Maybe we will see Musas hidden talent with the bat.

Please don't use the words Musa and Talent in the same sentence

 

[King_Kohli]

Another half-century for Babar Azam!

 

[Rana]

Why do you say that?

This is Pakistan cricket my brother. These guys are just being tested. Imad and Shadab will walk back into this side and Khushdil will easily make way in cricket politics

 

[uberkoen]

Pulled and 4!

 

[silentkiller187]

Its a combination of too many factors. I don't want to write an essay.

Yes but at the basis of that essay would be the quality and skillset of our players, what good is being mentally strong if you don't have the minerals to succeed. People talk about pakistan like we are india and we are expected to win every match, this is no longer the 90's our level is more zimbabwe, west indies, sri lanka, rather than NZ, Eng, Ind and Aus, so i don't know why people are surprised we are not steam rolling this series.

 

[imshally81]

In ODIs

Rohail Nazir > Mohammed Rizwan

Even Sarfaraz is better

 

[uberkoen]

This is Pakistan cricket my brother. These guys are just being tested. Imad and Shadab will walk back into this side and Khushdil will easily make way in cricket politics

What if he plays a match winning knock?

 

[sweep_shot]

144 runs are needed from 22 overs.

 

[King_Kohli]

Khushdil might as well play his natural game.

Either way, the management is going to drop him

why?

 

[Green Patriot]

Look at that $200 jackpot board. Amazing stuff!

There was a $500 one too in the last match.

 

[uberkoen]

There was a $500 one too in the last match.

Yeah, that ought to motivate the players

 

[Rana]

What if he plays a match winning knock?

Probably give him a tour to NZ

 

[Gullycricket]

If Khushdil stays till end never drop him. Imagine Asad chicken in this position or Hafeez or Malik

 

[uberkoen]

50 partnership. My prediction of a 100 partnership is coming close

 

[imshally81]

Good shot for boundary....

 

[uberkoen]

What a shot man! Beautiful! 4!

 

[Rana]

If Pak get to the 40th over with 200 on the board and no wicket,

They should win this

 

[uberkoen]

We just need to find one more Babar and we're set to win the WC

 

[sweep_shot]

142/5 after 29 overs.
