Pakistan vs Zimbabwe T20 Series discussion thread

[Serpico]

First match starts today at 4 PM. Streamed officially on YouTube.

 

Ideally since Pakistan is playing their best XI, they should win 3-0 comfortably but zimboks gave good fight in last match and even win the super over. They seem to do well under pressure so this could be an interesting series. 

 

Hafeez will be back into Pak X1 which should strengthen their top order. Babar also has chance to be back at no.1 in T20 batting ranks if he scores well in this series. Shadab is still injured and will miss this match. From Zim side, Chigumbura may play today

27 y.o. leg spinner Usman Qadir(son of abdul qadir) is debuting for Pakistan today. Shaheen afridi and Iftikar ahmed are rested

CJ Chibabha has to be the worst player to lead a national team right now, guy can't play a straight ball properly

[Norman]

Why do poyzz pick a full strength team even against Zimbabwe? 

 

Hafeez Wahab Riaz lol. 

[Serpico]

Great 70*(48) by Wesley Madhav today, kid got serious talent. He should get some psl/bpl contract soon 

[Austin 3:!6]

Babar out.

Pakistan chased this one easily. Inclusion of Hafeez got some much needed stability to their middle order, guy is going through a purple patch in his 40s. 

 

Winning the toss and batting first is so dumb in t20s, don't know what chibhabha was thinking

[Serpico]

Second T20 today.

 

Pak same team. Zim Tripano in place of Chitara. 

 

Pakistan elected to field first. strange decision against zimbabwe.. maybe babar don't want to score a t20 century

 

 

[Serpico]

Why are these batsmen gifting wickets to Rauf  Brendan and chibhabha gone with nothing shots

[Serpico]

Wesley gone. Zim imploding, 66-5

 

Qadir looks decent here

[Serpico]

Pak finally played like a top team today, Babar and Haider helped themselves to fifties and chased the total in 15.1 overs

[Serpico]

3rd match.

 

Hafeez and Wahab riaz rested. best chance for Zim to steal a win

 

 

[Serpico]

Rauf melting down. 19 runs in his first over including a huge 4wides

[Serpico]

Pakistani fielders misses stumps three times in first 4 overs. Chibhabha could have been run out all three times. Comedy of errors

[Serpico]

Taylor out with a terrible shot. 

 

Zim dropped sean williams who won them 3rd odi for snail paced craig ervin? what idiots. ugh looks like neither side want to compete well

[Serpico]

They are making Qadir look like ajanta mendis. not a single convincing shot or even block against him. 3 wickets for 4 runs so far

[Austin 3:!6]

Fakhar Zaman out. Can Zimbabwe cause an upset here?

[Serpico]

Pakistan chases this comprehensively in 15.2 overs.

 

Overall perfect t20 series for them, no major hiccups. Haider got a 50, Hasnain looked good, Qadir looked fantastic, Abdullah was decent on debut. This series could be curtains for Fakhar though

Why three bits and pieces players in the same team? Qadir is turning the ball better than shadab

Watched the highlights of the match, Khushdil looks like a good T20 batsman, has a bit Colin Munro in his hitting style.
