Zimbabwe v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Harare | 21st April, 2021 | Pakistan innings

[sindhiboy]

South Africa would have won 3-0 if they had blessing muzrabani and Richard ngarva
)

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Difficult pitch so far

Harare always has swing early in the 1st innings. Really settles down nicely in the 2nd innings. A good test for Pakistan without Shaheen here.

 

[Coolcapri]

I m watching online link of free sports live on joker stream

 

[Omer Baloch]

This is club level cricket.

 

[Zeshan547]

Zimbabwe deserved that wicket. so far it seem like its Pak who is minnow.

 

[Titan24]

In twitter this series is named as ashes 2.0

And IPL as possibly the next coming of WC from same “cricket experts” thats social media and hype machines for you.

Thing is it looks like other top teams want to isolate Zimbabwe as you dont see them playing Zim, Pak playing with them just irks some segments of the cricketing community by the looks of it as they only want to disrespect and derate Zimbabwe cricket team rather than giving them proper cricket.

Good Shot 444

magala was soo bad couldn't even get to the Kenyan team i suppose.. he literally gifted couple of matches to Pakistan

 

[silentkiller187]

rleax guys nothing wrong with a 40-1 powerplay , this is not a 200 + run pitch 150 we will win.

 

[Zeshan547]

I think that got too used to that third grade bowling plus absolute belter pitches and fast outfield in South Africa.

Apparently he bowls straight as an arrow.
Must be workload showing up

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

This time is Fakhar

 

[silentkiller187]

catching like pak at the moment

 

[Markhor]

Geez that spent an eternity in the air. Still should've been taken.

ZIM could've had PAK in serious strife here.

 

[Rajdeep]

2 catches dropped

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Zimbabwe trying best to lose here

 

[Sunzi]

Fakhar not prepared to run.

 

[Titan24]

Looks like a slow wicket, Pak will have to adjust and adapt accordingly which wont he easy straight away after coming for fast wickets of SA.

 

[Omer2002]

Another drop we are so so so poor..this fakhar looked million dollars in south africa

 

[Zeshan547]

Never seemed like catching that one, and he is one of their better fielders, it was actually very tough one, went to moon.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Is it me or Rizwan do get overconfident sometimes?

 

[Titan24]

Ihsan sports sponsoring Zim and good to see so many Pak sponsors, same was kind of the case in SA as well.

 

[naseem]

Both teams displaying minnow level cricketing ability.....Babar has serious concentration issue...tbh

 

[saeedhk]

Why is Sharjeel not in the squad?

 

[Sir-fraz]

Looks like a slow wicket, Pak will have to adjust and adapt accordingly which wont he easy straight away after coming for fast wickets of SA.

Yea slower wicket, still will be an easy win. Infact shouldve sent a few more debutents for this series.

 

[b.lesner]

Why not, considering he got picked due to his performance in PSL which is a T20 tournament, he should be debuting in T20 instead of ODI.

He hasn't played PSL who told you

 

[sharmaji]

Pak will definitely win but I hope the series is competitive. This is a chance for Zim to grow their stature; they were once contenders but are pathetic right now.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Looks like a slow wicket, Pak will have to adjust and adapt accordingly which wont he easy straight away after coming for fast wickets of SA.

The pitch will quicken and will be easier to bat in the 2nd innings. Always the case with Harare.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Sunzi]

Bowled Fakhar.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Both teams displaying minnow level cricketing ability.....Babar has serious concentration issue...tbh

He has no idea how to approach while batting first in recent matches

 

[sharmaji]

The fielding is already disappointing. Bowling looks ok-ish but Pak will get 180 easily.

 

[silentkiller187]

fakhar doesnt want to leave

 

[Omer2002]

Strugglin big time for sure..despite two drops

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Pak will definitely win but I hope the series is competitive. This is a chance for Zim to grow their stature; they were once contenders but are pathetic right now.

You're expecting too much from them. Will be a thrashing but us batting first will make things fair.

 

[Titan24]

Another drop we are so so so poor..this fakhar looked million dollars in south africa

Pitch and conditions are important part of cricket. Its a slower wicket and sometimes adjusting to such a big change from SA isnt that straight forward.

 

[Coolcapri]

They need to understand these are different wickets than SA

 

[Zeshan547]

that kept very low, uneven bounce, not ideal pitch for T20

 

[hashimafzal]

For those in the USA match is live on Youtube

 

[sindhiboy]

magala was soo bad couldn't even get to the Kenyan team i suppose.. he literally gifted couple of matches to Pakistan

To be fair, magala did come back well in the last two t20s after being thrashed initially. his no balls were detrimental

 

[naseem]

Poor start 2 the match

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

that kept very low, uneven bounce, not ideal pitch for T20

SHould have played forward there

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez 2.0 in

 

[Rafa]

What is going on. Pakistan struggling against Zimbabwe.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

great competition between rivals

 

[imshally81]

Rizwan is the best candidate of runout..

 

[naseem]

Poor pitch will kill whatever interest left....in this series

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

What's the point of Hafeez in this match? Should have played Haider at 4

 

[Sunzi]

Embarrassing cricket this morning.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Rizwan is the best candidate of runout..

Well he is trying his best out there lol

 

[imshally81]

Dropped?

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Poor pitch will kill whatever interest left....in this series

Well expect misbah to play full strength in all matches

 

[Rafa]

Can Pakistan still win this ?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Looks like the ball isn't coming onto the bat at all.

They are really trying to force some ugly shots though.

 

[naseem]

Well expect misbah to play full strength in all matches

Poor from Misbah....never gave much confidence 2 yoingsrers

 

[imshally81]

4444

Outfield isn't very fast..

 

[AAli98]

great competition between rivals

Mouthwatering test series coming up between these 2 rivals I can see Faheem doing a Stokes Headingly ...

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor pitch will kill whatever interest left....in this series

some new faces in Pak side wouldve made this more watchable but not to be

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Can Pakistan still win this ?

Well it looks like your boy's still in the Hangover of Magala juicy fulltosses

 

[naseem]

Looks like pitch is pretty poor..ball stopping and keeping low....variable pace on offer too... 140 plus is par here

 

[sharmaji]

I know, but I want Zim to rise again. Already SA, SL, BD and WI are on a decline. We need more international teams to be good, otherwise cricket will be boring.

Pak batting first will make no difference, it is a walk in the park for them.

You're expecting too much from them. Will be a thrashing but us batting first will make things fair.

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez 2.0 gone

 

[Markhor]

Good catch, ZIM finally hold onto one.

Upset incoming today ?

 

[Shoaibbtt]

ok that was a good catch lol

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hafeez, a career filled with the softest of soft dismissals.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Good catch, ZIM finally hold onto one.

Upset incoming today ?

That was just good fielding.

 

[Titan24]

Taking into account the pitch Usman Qadir is a valid induction here.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Hafeez 2.0 gone

It's Hafeez 3.0
2.0 i guess was his Comeback in 2011

 

[silentkiller187]

here comes the PSL superstar who hasn't even played a PSL game

 

[imshally81]

Danish in

 

[Nasty Naz]

Really, Aziz is coming before Haider?

 

[Coolcapri]

Bad shot

 

[Major]

Poor from Misbah....never gave much confidence 2 yoingsrers

6-7 youngsters are playing

what mroe do you need?

Look at the squad Pakistan has got, are they suppose to make a player there now?

 

[imshally81]

It's Hafeez 3.0
2.0 i guess was his Comeback in 2011

But anyways.. He is gone...now we need Hafeez 4.0

 

[silentkiller187]

we need danish and haider to come in positions like this, show us your worth

 

[Coolcapri]

On wicket like this you need to time in the gap not need to try hitting hard.

 

[Titan24]

Zimbabwe started with a win against Ind in T20s here in 2016, so not an unknown territory for them.

 

[Rafa]

Howcome Hafeez become so poor all of a sudden.

 

[imshally81]

Taking into account the pitch Usman Qadir is a valid induction here.

With Nawaz and Danish...

 

[silentkiller187]

It's Hafeez 3.0
2.0 i guess was his Comeback in 2011

Hafeez 3.0 was CT17 final, the mauling he gave india at the end.

This is more hafeez 5.0
