Pakistan tour of New Zealand | 16th March - April 5th, 2025 | 5 T20Is, 3 ODIs

[Frustrated]

GobarHajam GONE cheaply.   Rare failure for him.  

[Tillu]

Zimbesh's ODI average will go below 50  in the next 2-3 years and his Test average will go below 40.

[Forward Defence]

Got to credit NZ. No drop in quality even after some key players retiring and others busy in IPL. O Rourke and Duffy have established themselves very quickly.

[Forward Defence]

Another wicket quickly and this game is over. Especially Agha s wicket.

[Tillu]

Rizchrist is still at the crease. So anything can happen.

[Lone Wolf]

O Rourke is a serious talent.  Tall fast accurate 

[Lone Wolf]

O Rourke wants to Kill Maulana looks like 

[Tillu]

NZ bowlers are tearing apart RizChrist. Nowhere to hide.

[Tillu]

10.1

William ORourke to Rizwan, no run, 135.6kph, Rizwan cops a blow on his right bicep and throws his bat away immediately in pain. That's an absolute jaffa from O'Rourke. Angles in on a good length and nips away significantly along with extra bounce. It's almost impossible to deal with that. Rizwan gets squared up, the ball beats the outside edge and hits the bicep

[Tillu]

All the fielders are yawning. Only the bowler and keeper are busy.

[Tillu]

Rizchrist made a fighting 5(27) after copping some strong body blows. Respect.

[Gollum]

Like them, hate them, whatever. But got to admire NZ for always punching above their weight. Most of their first choice players are in IPL.....Boult, Southee retired, mama unavailable. 

[Frustrated]

32/5 Pooks.    Business as Usual. 

[Ultimate_Game]

Watched the last few overs of Pak batting. Rizwan looked like as if someone had sent a Chimpanzee in to bat. Hopping and jumping all around the place, and the ball passing by everywhere hitting everything except the bat

That's the beauty of watching Pak cricket. They give you glimpses of Tests, ODIs and T20s in the same match irrespective of the match format

Next year's test series in NZ will be torture. We will get whitewashed sure, par tadpa tadpa ke maarenge ye hume.

Boult ,Southee, Williamson aren't their first choice players anymore

This is probably their A/B+ side

You should've seen the way he fell down after the ball hit his arm (bicep). It was like he was shot. Spent 5+ mins on the ground with 3 people around him spraying him the same way Delhi municipality used to spray DDT on mosquitoes with a truck 

 

Even commies were a bit taken aback and not sure what was going on. The NZ pacer was laughing at the charade. It was clear Rizwan didn't want to be there and wanted to be taken off the pitch.
