New Zealand vs Pakistan, 3rd T20I, Pakistan tour of New Zealand, 2020-21 - CommentaryNZ vs PAK, 3rd T20I, Pakistan tour of New Zealand, 2020-21 - Commentary

Mohiyan: After a superb debut, why was Jacob Duffy not played again? Is he injured? 'No, the regulars barring the injured Lockie Ferguson came back into the playing XI'

Amir Jamshed: Hafeez is good because he is just using the pace and perfect timing against fast bowlers to play his shots

raj: I see Collin Munro is playing BBL right now. Is he dropped from NZ team after having 3 T20I hundreds and having a SR of 156? 'Munro doesn't have a contract at the moment and he was allowed to feature in the Big Bash as New Zealand are looking at a few other options right now'

Amir Jamshed: Hafeez is just like an old wine. More older , More better.

yasir mushtaq: Pakistan has chased a total more than 170 only 3 times, but still looking composed in the chase so far

Ahsan Kiani: "Pakistan needs an aggressive bating keeper as far as the T20 World Cup is concerned. Rizwan is not their keeper in the long run in the T20 format."

Faisal Bhat: "I like how you think but Pakistan batting has been extremely bad while chasing, I doubt if they can even go beyond 155-160 runs. But let's hope they pull of a miracle today!!"

Asad: "A lot depends on Haris Rauf's mood. When he bowls well he bowls outstandingly and when not then he leaks run at pace."

Ayub Chaudhari: "It was bad for batting when NZ started. But now the ball is coming on nicely. If Pakistan play well they can chase it."

Sheraz: "Reason for Faheem's success today - variations. T20 is not about pace only, you need to bowl consistent lines with variations."

Dushyant Uppal: "Faheem doing what Southee did the other night. Excellent bowling figures."

Mohanpriyan: "Shadab khan's attitude, captaincy is really impressive. Pakistan can make him the captain in T20s and Babar can captain the ODI and Test side which will relieve some pressure."

Neetu: "With the kind of batting depth New Zealand has, they won't be worried that much."

Ahmed Noman: "Babar's first PSL team was Islamabad United and under Misbah's captaincy in 2016 played two matches and was then axed from the team. He then moved to KK, same is the case here with Abdullah Shafique and Haider Ali."

Afzal: "BBL has been very productive in showing the new talents like Archer, Josh Phillipe and here Haris Rauf. He could be Pak's X-Factor at the T20 World cup."

Pankaj Dinani: "Partnership between Glenn Philips and Devon Conway is critical. A total of 160 will keep New Zealand in the game."

Durai: "We have to understand that Imad was chosen primarily for his bowling skills. Since in first 2 matches he did not take wickets or his bowling did not suit in the first 2 grounds. So Pakistan trying other options."

Vignesh: "Seifert can eliminate the opening issue for CSK" -- No doubt there's 'spark', but he isn't 30+ and hence isn't eligible ;)

Sanjeev: "Haris Rauf is excellent with his pace. If he tries to be consistent with his length and variations, he will be a great bowler."

Abdul: "Tim Siefert is David Malan 2.0. Became T20I superstars overnight."

Syed Ati: "Instead of promoting Imad up in the batting order, they have dropped him. One thing that allowed Misbah (as a captain) to thrive in Test matches is consistency. Now, as a coach, he is just not adhering to any sort of consistency."

Gunit Narula: "How impressive has Shaheen been, such a short career so far but he will definitely serve Pakistan for many years."

Yasir mushtaq: "This venue is famous for big totals and Pakistan opted to bowl first. When wicket was bowling friendly in the initial overs Pakistan opted to bat first. Cannot under stand the strategy."

The Dark Knight: "Leaving Imad out of the playing 11 is an unnecessary move. The current management at the helm of this Pakistani team is not allowing this team to settle down."
