I agree that Pakistan is always unpredictable team, so we can expect performance like this from them even they lost few early wickets but still done better job while they were chasing 163 reached 159 just because of aggressive approach from Iftikhar Ahmad who was hero for Pakistan in this fail chase but still we have a match which have good entertainment for fans and quality cricket as well.

New Zealand bowlers who have no enough experience doing good job in this series and not allowing Pakistan for having any big target in these three early matches now they are heading for the Rawalpindi for the last two T20i and first two ODI's of this series.

What I liked about them is that now they seems to have a good balance in all the departments. Shaheen Shah Afridi is well supported by Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, while in the batting department the trio of Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are scoring runs. Once again, as I have pointed out infinite times, the main disadvantage with Pakistan is that they don't have a quality spinner. And this is the same team that used to have legendary spinners such as Saqlain Mushtaq, Danish Kaneria and Mushtaq Ahmed.

In the match between the two teams, I did not think that Pakistan would play so badly in batting. I thought that Pakistan could easily score the runs that New Zealand had given as the target. But the words of the New Zealand team put the batsmen of the Pakistan team under pressure. The batsmen of Pakistan Babar Azam was out for 1 run off 6 balls. I didn't think that a good batsman like Babar Azam would score only 1 run.

There must be some thought process on scheduling marquee fixtures.

I really don't understand how they can host big matches as the last match ( RCB vs CSK) in the opening week. Cribbing and pissed off because I missed out on a high-scoring match. Cry

It seems 200+ runs in IPL is not a big issue if the pitch is right for batting. Still defending such a total can become an issue if the team has fielders who have the tendency to drop catches.

CSK did well to give such a mammoth target to RCB but they were struggling to defend that target because of their poor fielding. Kohli's out was a lucky affair, that was not how anyone had imagined he would get removed from the pitch.

Mahipal Lomror after getting a life was still not able to score
a single run. I also think that Shahbaz Ahmed should come after Dinesh Karthik in the batting order. Karthik has the ability to quickly increase the net RR. I do not think Ahmed has that ability.

Even having big pool of players, sadly still RCB fail to have a good combination with they are using players on wrong spots as well which is not helping them for having better results Dinesh Karthik deserve better spot which was surely had better for the RCB in this game CSK fielding help RCB for reaching near this target otherwise I was not expecting result like this because after having target like this they deserve win with better margin.

Even 200+ is not big business, but now we need better changes from BCCI as well because after many seasons they need to work on few experiments like bringing pitches which have not better support for batsmen and allow bowlers to have some help as well which will bring challenging situation and improvement of batting skills as well for having better results in SENA.

SRH vs MI coming up! This is a tough match to bet on because both teams won their last two games pretty confidently and are aiming at making it a hat-trick in this match.

SRH seem like they have the edge primarily because of bowlers like Mayank, Jansen etc in my opinion.

Pakistan is close to its win. Iftikhar Ahmed have made his 50* runs from 20 balls. New Zealand bowlers slowly took the match towards their side and Iftikhar have destroyed everything. Now New Zealand should take wickets which is the only way by which they can win the match. Looking at the IPL scores, these scores look like low target. Lets see what is the end result ad Pakistan need 15 runs to win the match and Iftikhar Ahmed on the striker end.

Pakistan failed to win this match even though the target was not so big.

As usual, the Pakistan batting under performed and they are rightly said to be unpredictable. In the first teo matches the pakistani batting line up played good and they score about 181 190+ runs but in this match they had to chase and thier batsman took pressure and were unable to score any big runs.

The series is still wide open with 2-1 in the favour of Pakistan.

In Pakistan vs New Zealand 3rd match of the series, was an apprehension among everyone that who would win that match? New Zealand almost lost the series after losing two matches in a row but they got the series back by winning yesterday's match. But their target was not good at all. New Zealand cricket could only set a target of 163 runs. On that run, many thought that Pakistan could easily get another win. But that didn't happen as they lost by just 3 runs. And the New Zealand bowlers deserve credit for that win. Among them, James Neesham has done a great job. In particular, he picked up Iftikhar Ahmed who scored 60 off 24 balls. Otherwise they would have lost the match.

Pakistan lost the game because of poor batting of there top order batting line-up. In run chase of 163, Pakistan lost 7 wickets for just 88 runs. Apart from Iftikhar Ahmed and Faheem Ashraf there is no other batsmen who contributed to this tiny run chase. Iftikhar Ahmed took just 24 runs to score his 60 runs. The biggest liability on Pakistan team i.e. Muhammad Rizwan once again failed to produce any runs. As long as Babar Azam is captain I don't think there will be any replacement of Muhammad Rizwan.

I don't understand the logic in using Shahbaz Ahmed as a specialist batsmen. He didn't bowled at all during the first innings. And you are right. It was baffling to see him being sent ahead of Dinesh Karthik. Regarding Mahipal Lomror, he should be batting further down the order. But he has failed repeatedly and therefore should be dropped for the next match. Royal Challengers Bangalore can try some of the other youngsters who are benched right now, such as Anuj Rawat and Suyash Prabhudessai (he played yesterday's match, but as an impact sub).

Well.. you can't expect them to win everytime. They are leading the series by 2-1, and just need one more win to take the series. Anyway, despite their recent downfall, New Zealand is one of the pig-4 teams and at a point they had one of the strongest pace bowling attack in the world (they still do have a formidable bowling attack, with Boult, Jamieson, Henry, Milne, Southee and Wagner). And yesterday it was the military medium pace from James Neesham which handed them the victory. They worked hard for that win.

Pakistan failed to win this match even though the target was not so big.

As usual, the Pakistan batting under performed and they are rightly said to be unpredictable.

One of the main tools of the Pakistan team is their opening pair, Mohammad Rizwan and Babur Azam, two batsmen yesterday, Babur Azam was dismissed for 6 runs and 1 individual run and Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed for 17 runs and 6 individual runs. In tomorrow's match, Pakistan's middle-order batsmen are under pressure mainly due to this opening pair disaster and it is very difficult for them to fill the target after handling that pressure. Apart from Fahim Ashraf and Iftikhar Ahmed, no one could perform well in the Pakistan team. So in yesterday's match, Pakistan lost the match only because of the poor performance of the batsmen in the top order.

The visiting New Zealand finally returned to winning streak against Pakistan. In the third T20, Pakistan batted first and collected 163 runs, the target for Pakistan was 164 runs. But Pakistan could not score 164 runs in this match. Pakistan were all out for 159 runs. The reason behind Pakistan not being able to score 164 runs today is the failure of the opening pair.
The Pakistan cricket team has become such that the entire team depends on two batsmen. Md Rizwan and Babar Azam did not get runs in their last match, and that effect was seen in the complete Pakistani batting line-up.
Pakistan Cricket Board should take action on this because two batsmen will not make regular runs for you and the rest 10 members of the team will have to take responsibility. Pakistan wins if Babar Rizwan gets runs but middle order or lower middle order can't play any role for the team if Babar Rizwan doesn't get runs. One never expects these from a team like Pakistan.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham was adjudged Man of the Match in the last match. A responsible innings of 64 off 49 balls played a major role in his team's victory.

The match was so close. The way that Royal Challengers Bangalore started they couldn't sustain it towards the end. In today's match, I would say Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting performance was completely opposite to Chennai Super Kings' batting performance. If we look at the run worms, we can see that Chennai Super Kings didn't get much runs in the beginning, but they managed to carry the run speed towards the end, on the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a great batting performance in the beginning, but their wickets fell quickly towards the end, and This is what helped Chennai Super Kings win today. Anyway I enjoyed today's match, it was full of excitement.

Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a really good start with Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis' brilliant batting performance. Bengaluru could have won if only one of these two batsmen survived to the end. Royal Challengers Bangalore did not end well. Wayne Parnell scored just 2 runs off 5 balls at crucial times. Really we enjoyed the match with intense excitement, both teams played brilliantly.

In the last 15th match, Royal Challengers Bangalore faced Lucknow Super Giants with a score of 212 runs but was unlucky to lose that match. In the 24th match Royal Challengers Bangalore's fortune was not good. They lost the match by just 8 runs while playing a huge target of 226 runs. They managed to score 218 runs against 226 runs. Naturally, they can be a bit disappointed when they come to the port of victory after passing a long way. But compared to other years they have improved a lot.

There is no doubt that Pakistan is in trouble in this match. Pakistan is currently chasing a target and they have already lost two important wickets in the process. It is also worth noting that the record run rate is already above nine. It looks like the target right now is going to be a pretty big one.

It is still too early to make any assumptions at this point in time. But there is no doubt in my mind that New Zealand has a very good chance of winning this match. New Zealand gave a good effort in a match that was a Do or Die situation for them.

What a fantastic match between Pakistan vs New Zealand 3rd t20. at first its was looking that Pakistan will whitewash t20 serious easily but Kivi batsmen did well and make a a good total to defend. Pakistan opening batting line up totally failed in this match and it's was looking one sided game when sixty wicket goes and Runs was only 64. Later Iftikhar ahmad and Faheem ashraf changed the sentiment of the match.

Credit goes to Kivi bowlers for last over. last two batsmen failed to make 4 runs in 3 ball or at least 3 runs to make it tie.

The match eased for Pakistan when Iftikhar Ahmed's 23 runs came from the 18th over but after Fahim Ashraf's dismissal in the third ball of the 19th over, Naseem Shah failed to collect any runs in three consecutive balls on the pitch, which was essentially the turning point in the defeat. Matt Henry gave 8 runs in that over including the wicket of Faheem Ashraf. 15 runs were needed in the last over and Iftikhar Ahmed hit 6 (Six) in the first ball of the 20th over but he hit the third ball with a dot for a four and in the next three balls 5 runs were needed but Harish Rauf and Naseem Shah failed to collect any runs so Pakistan finally lost by four runs.

Pakistan team lost 2 wickets very quickly, as a result of which Pakistan team will have great difficulty in chasing the target given by New Zealand. If the two batsmen of the Pakistan team can form a great partnership then the match will come out easily.

So much drama toh watch , in early stages pakistan lose much wickets too quickly as a result pressure were mounting on the middle order, saim and Fakher continue the inning but not long, but later the iftimania(iftikhar Ahmad) smashed the entire newZealand bowling lineup too brutally, because I taught game were out of Pakistan hand due to less number of ball but due to heatful power hitting put pakistan on trake, he smashed 6 sixes and 3 four on just 24 ball with a strike rate of 250 and scored 60. But after his dismissal bowler can't achieve the required goal and hence they lose the game by just 4 runs

One hell of a match between Pakistan and New Zealand, expected an easy win for New Zealand when Pakistan lost their 7th wicket but Iftikhar Ahmed played some incredible shots along with Faheem Ashraf and took the team close and in the last over i was expecting Pakistan to win the match and i had to cashout my bet fearing of a loss but Pakistan ended up loosing in the end.

The match was exciting till the last ball. Neesham took the wicket of Iftikhar Ahmed, if not this could've been a win for Pakistan. Iftikhar started the over with a six and continued to make a four. He had the confidence and tried to end the match with style when the team requires another 5 runs from 3 balls. An unwanted attempt for big runs and day ended with loss. Harish Rauf came into the crease and unable to score.
