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

[uberkoen]

Looks gone mate.

 

[Kroll]

If Zimbabwe had the financial resources, they could have hired good coaches as they have some youngsters who can develop well.

don't worry, we're also helping them develop, if making journeymen cricketers superstars wasn't enough for pak, we're also making mediocre teams look like world beaters.

 

[Rana]

Not out I recon

 

[shah_1]

Not out

 

[uberkoen]

Safe!

 

[sweep_shot]

110 runs are needed from 96 balls.

 

[Rana]

Wow even the 3rd umpire sounded relieved

 

[zain41]

Go to hell with that **

Trust me it’s for the better .. support them with me .. shabaaa zimbuu

 

[uberkoen]

Is this chick the same commentator that does the job for PSL? She's not bad to be honest. Good to see female commentators coming from Pakistan

Good shot Wahab! 4!

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Lets see how babar performs when asking rate is high. Haven't seen babar chasing good totals.

You expect him to do it alone?

 

[watson367]

Pains me to see Zafar carrying drinks and senior citizen ifti being an automatic selection.

 

[Rana]

Lets see how babar performs when asking rate is high. Haven't seen babar chasing good totals.

His 2nd innings average when the score is above 250 is 36.

This is what defines Kohli to be better than him

Yes Urooj Mumtaz (former cricketer)

 

[Shoaibbtt]

we are totally out of this. Unless Wahab is a mainstay. Zimbabwae for the win

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lets see how babar performs when asking rate is high. Haven't seen babar chasing good totals.

Yeah that's a valid criticism, but to be fair to him, there hasn't been much support. Still he should be chasing down one or two such totals now.

Let's see how he goes today.

 

[watson367]

Wahab to hit the winning six just like he did vs Afg.

 

[zain41]

Even if he does it you gona say oo it’s just zimbabwae

 

[Mrhandsome]

Why are we always comparing Babar with Virat. To me he is more Sachin than Virat.

 

[90MPH]

Lets see how babar performs when asking rate is high. Haven't seen babar chasing good totals.

Did you see his 100 against NZ in the World Cup last year ? That was on a Bunsen burner, that ball was turning square - if that’s not winning under pressure is I don’t know what is.

You need a Harris Sohail to stand up with you. Babar is on his own today

Don't waste your time with the troll

 

[watson367]

100 off 86

 

[Rana]

Why are we always comparing Babar with Virat. To me he is more Sachin than Virat.

Because they play in the same batting position and have the same role for their team. Both need to be the rock of their side.

 

[90MPH]

I know. Zimbabwe favourites but Babar is near the finished article, he doesn’t need to prove anything.

It’s the other passengers who are too inconsistent that need criticism.

 

[Rana]

Raza bowling snakes out there. Ball clearly turning in

 

[MHN1293]

If pak can somehow get the target to 70 of the last 10 without losing babar then the tail can chip in with 10 runs each and babar can hopefully finish off.

 

[Arsal_AK]

He has a point. Babar has to start coming good in these situations and in chases with big totals if he wants to be amongst the best.

NZ is his best innings till date. He needs more of those.

I'm sorry but this is stupid. What more would you have Babar do when the wickets on the other end keep falling?

 

[Rana]

So Babar will need to be 140* if Pakistan are to win this

 

[imshally81]

What a shot

 

[uberkoen]

Babar you beauty! What a shot!

 

[Rayyman]

Glorious shot from Bobs

 

[Rana]

Shot against Donald Trumpano

 

[Gullycricket]

What a shot Bobby

 

[msb314]

Good shot!

 

[uberkoen]

So Babar will need to be 140* if Pakistan are to win this

Highly unlikely for that to happen

 

[GreenKhan]

This is the first time Babar is leading Pakistan in a high scoring run chase . If he can take Pakistan home here it will be another feather in his cap, and hopeful the first of many.

I believe he averages 35 when Pakistan are chasing 250 plus , so this is an area where I am sure he will want to improve .

Overtime I am hoping other batsman also step up in similar situations, it can’t always fall on to one person .

 

[uberkoen]

If babar gets the 100 today, he will be second fastest to 12th century after de Kock

 

[uberkoen]

Wahab (so far) playing better than most of the batsmen that were in this lineup

 

[Rana]

Brandy Taylor looks like such a Dad.

Quality player though

 

[uberkoen]

A poor ball. Pulled down for 4.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Even if he does it you gona say oo it’s just zimbabwae

Yes, failing to accelerate against zimbabwe
won't help his reputation but even success won't earn him accolades that's the deal with performance against teams like zim.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar moves into the 90s with a pulled 4.

 

[CricketZ]

Remember Bangladesh trashed this Zimbabwe team few months ago..

 

[imshally81]

Wahab with his signature Six..

 

[uberkoen]

Good to see Babar eager to get on strike. 6 by Wahab! What a shot

 

[watson367]

Yes, failing to accelerate against zimbabwe

Problem is we don't play enough vs Top 5 sides.

 

[uberkoen]

These two need to stay out there. It's not going to be easy but we can do this!

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Did you see his 100 against NZ in the World Cup last year ? That was on a Bunsen burner, that ball was turning square - if that’s not winning under pressure is I don’t know what is.

Bro why did you miss the "good totals" part?
249 is a low total in the modern era.
That innings against nz tells us that babar can play in bowling favourable conditions but we already know that.

 

[uberkoen]

That's a stupid review to be honest

 

[Rana]

Snakey bowler

 

[MHN1293]

Finally Wahab.

 

[watson367]

looks like an inside edge

 

[Arsal_AK]

I'm sorry but this is stupid. What more would you have Babar do when the wickets on the other end keep falling?

Get the game to the very end and try to get the total?

Like he is doing today.

He will not be successful most of the time but in doing so he will get those moments like Kohli does.

But that was not the point. When people around you are falling like a pack of cards, it's obviously a different matter. He has been found lacking in high scoring games while chasing and in pressure matches in general, no matter who is left on the other end. His matches against India for example, the run chases above 300. He has to improve there.

Basically he has to produce the NZ innings more often.

 

[uberkoen]

looks like an inside edge

It was rather obvious. Stupid review to take

 

[imshally81]

Good umpiring...

 

[Amjid Javed]

200/6 after 39 overs.

These two need to bat pakistan through till end here.

 

[MHN1293]

Wahab trying to impress misbah tuk bang then tuk tuk tuk tuk and another tuk.

 

[uberkoen]

Another 50 partnership!

 

[Rayyman]

Well done Wabby bhai

 

[MHN1293]

50 stand up in only 8 overs good partnership.

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[uberkoen]

Even though there are better bowlers out there than Wahab but his batting puts him in contention over the others

 

[zain41]

Will pak players enjoy a big kahuna burger if they win

 

[uberkoen]

Regardless of the result Babar has played an amazing innings today and anyone who thinks otherwise should just go .... ..........

 

[watson367]

It would be hilarious if someone gets run out rn.

 

[uberkoen]

Amazing running from Babar. Good job lad!

 

[MHN1293]

Will pak players enjoy a big kahuna burger if they win

Only babar and hasnain deserver it wahab can have the fries.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Excellent running, Babar gets to 97*

Pak 208/6

 

[Rana]

Wahab playing a top knock here

 

[Ashmal]

His 2nd innings average when the score is above 250 is 36.

This is what defines Kohli to be better than him

Well...you can't chase 300 alone you need others to stand up as well.

To be fair to Babar, Kohli had Rohit, Dhawan and Dhoni among others to help him while Babar is all alone more often than not.

 

[uberkoen]

Powerplay time!

 

[Rana]

Last over of Raza. See him out

 

[zain41]

Only babar and hasnain deserver it wahab can have the fries.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Last over of Raza. See him out

��

 

[uberkoen]

Only babar and hasnain deserver it wahab can have the fries.

Shah Saab played decent. Give him the drink that comes with the meal!

 

[uberkoen]

Only babar and hasnain deserver it wahab can have the fries.

Musa should be made to watch them eat

 

[watson367]

Will pak players enjoy a big kahuna burger if they win

Give ifti chachu the happy meal for being a youngsta beauty.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just 2 runs off Razas final over.

Pak 210/6 - 41 overs
