Pak are in red hot form.. I think Pak fans will be disappointed with anything less than a clean sweep.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mohammad Nawaz (3) to have a breakout series.

really looking forward to the Tests. Pak should smash them but Zim are a decent side in the right conditions.

They've beaten a stronger Pak team not that long ago.

Wonder if Abbas will get a shot.

For those where it isn't geo-blocked this is on youtube.

 

[nightprowler10]

Good stuff from Rizwan and the extras. Rest of the batting lineup couldn't seem to adjust to the bounce. Might've played Hasan Ali here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

20 needed off the last over. Looks like a mountain to climb.

But Rizwan made 20 in the last over to finish the first innings

 

[slippy888]

I was shocked to see pakistan around 2/1 odds in running considering zim struggle to win matches

 

[Magrat Garlick]

no wonder it's not more than 6 an over

 

[Magrat Garlick]

thought they'd roped in Sikandar Raza but it's Sikandar Bakht

 

[_Ed_]

I assume Pakistan are going to accelerate at some stage in this chase...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

well every time they've tried they've holed out to mid on/mid off

 

[Nintendo]

Is this the pitch, **** batting, good bowling or a mix of all 3?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

i'd say mix, they aren't reading things well at all but it's not particularly clever stuff, mainly pace change and maybe some inconsistent bounce

also quite good outfielding cutting down 8-10 runs at least

 

[anil1405]

What was that Pakistan. No demons in the pitch and it wasn't like Zim bowled extraordinarily.

 

[Starfighter]

That's pathetic stuff.

 

[StephenZA]

This was an unexpected result...

 

[cnerd123]

awesome

 

[slippy888]

you have to laugh at pakistan cricket team
