Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
181 is the target
A big ask
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Target of 181 is big but not unchaseable. It all comes to how Pakistan takes on NZ's slow bowlers without coming under pressure. Their spin is much improved but Pakistan gotto believe they can do it and execute accordingly.
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Amer was too expensive as well
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Guptill and Taylor seem to enjoy our bowling. usu. score runs against us
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
A good brisk start is needed by the openers
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Irfan has to be very good i.e. very quick and at the same time very economical otherwise I don't think he should be in the team cause he is a liability in the field and he can not bat at all.
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
whats going on? Are we sure this is Pakistani team?
Pakistan 23/0 (1.4/20 ov)
Pakistan require another 158 runs with 10 wickets and 18.2 overs remaining
Pakistan RR 13.80
Required RR 8.61
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
whoa!!
2.2
Milne to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR
Jamil Bukhari : "Shahzad need to anchor the innings like Kohli did the other day against Pak"
2.1
Milne to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, picked up for four. Sensational from Sharjeel. A pacey start from Milne on leg, a decent length and Sharjeel gets on one foot and flicks it away with so much power past deep square leg.
Swapnil M.: "There is a reason Pakistan team is known for its unpredictable nature, openers giving them a brisk start, well that's strange!!!"
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
nice...
3.4
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR
Mazhar Shehzaad: "Sharjeel has a tendency to get out after scoring brisk 20-25. Pakistan's chase will depend alot on his stay at the crease today. "
3.3
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, another boundary. Sharjeel turning it on, putting Pakistan well ahead of the rate in the process. Another slower delivery on middle, in the slot and SK heaves it in the gap over midwicket. Runs, runs and more runs.
Ankur: "The bigger question is whether Pak can sustain this or build on the start provided by Sharjeel"
3.2
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, so much power on that pull. McClenaghan feeds him another shortish length delivery and it sits up for SK to smash through square leg. Four off the bat
AH_USA: "Singles are the key as a batsman can't hit every single ball."
3.1
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, no run, good start, starts off with a slower offcutter that doesn't cut. Skids on and Sharjeel is beaten on the outside edge
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
hahahaha
3.6
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, SIX
3.5
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, no run, in the slot too but Sharjeel misses, no one is too disappointed with that. Full down leg, Sharjeel sweeps but misses, struck on the pads down leg
Vinod Tanwani: "Sharjeel Khan is reminding me Amir Shohail today. Quick start and release pressure from middle order."
3.4
McClenaghan to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, another one. Not a bad change-up from Mitch McClenghan but doesn't direct it too well. The bouncer is on leg and Sharjeel just helps it on its way over short fine leg. NZ under duress.
Mazhar Shehzaad: "Sharjeel has a tendency to get out after scoring brisk 20-25. Pakistan's chase will depend alot on his stay at the crease today. "

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Currently Pak 51/0 in 4 :k:
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
fifty raised in just 4 overs, surely the quickest Pak 50 in T20
Sharjeel showing his worth. some really classy shots. bat sensibly now. no need to do anything silly
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Sharjeel is on fire 
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
.................and he had to do something stupid...
5.3
Milne to Sharjeel Khan, OUT
Sharjeel Khan c Guptill b Milne 47 (25b 9x4 1x6) SR: 188.00
5.2
Milne to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, phew, wrong shot selection I would have said but that won't matter. A slowish delivery outside off, Sharjeel pulls powerfully over mid-on. What timing. Runs coming too easily
5.1
Milne to Sharjeel Khan, no run, short but closer to off stump. Not close enough to cut but Sharjeel goes through with it, finds extra cover
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Dammit, spoke too soon 
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Good knock by Sharjeel 47 off 25
Pak 65/1 in 5.3
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
wish Sharjeel (off side is his weakness. pretty strong on the on side) could have stayed a little longer but a really nice innings nevertheless
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Sharjeel gone. Hope latif will play to his potential. We can win it
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Sharjeel did exactly Wat he is in in the team. Now it is job of regular batters to reach to target
Re: Pakistan v New Zealand
Pak 66/1 off 6.0 overs...the dumbos should have played like this against India... :D
