PAKISTAN ZINDABAD #KINGSOFCOLLAPSE

There is something in Magala's shoes.

 

[Umair7]

Hasan Ali to bat at #4 in the future!

 

[Khan Sahab54]

Nawaz finishes off in style and a magnificent strike into the ground and Pakistan wins their first T20 series in South Africa

 

[CerealKiller]

This team is beyond logic and reason.

The captain's reaction

 

[AsadRM]

What a series win! Defeating SA in their backyard in ODIs and T20Is is a massive achievement. Such a shame that there were no Test matches involved in the tour. It would have been a great chance for Pakistan to win a Test series in South Africa.

Brilliant batting and good captaincy from Babar. Fakhar, Hassan, Faheem, Nawaz, etc were great too. Props to Misbah as a coach. However, Younis Khan needs to spend some serious time in the nets with the middle-order.

A great achievement, and hopefully a beginning of a better Pakistan side.

 

[Khan Sahab54]

Babar Azam is the only Pakistani captain to win both ODI and T20 series in South Africa.

One all-rounder too many for RSA today. Oh well.

@RUDI wonder what your lineup for the T20 WC would be like.

QdK
Markram/Bavuma/Reeza
Bavuma/Faf
Rassie
Miller
Klaasen/Linde
Phehlukwayo
Rabada
Nortje
Ngidi
Shamsi

This looks good to me. Morris if he is fit and willing could be the backup pacer/all-rounder. I would include him at any cost if he is fit, he's always been more than decent in the IPL and could be handy in Indian conditions. Really don't get the appeal of van Biljon despite his domestic record, I suppose Reeza will be in the squad anyhow. Not that they need an extra opener with the ones already floating around.

Faheem Ashraf was exceptional today
17 runs from 4 overs and 3 wickets

1) De Kock
2) Markram (decent form this series)
3) Bavuma
4) VD Dussen
5) Miller
6) Linde / Morris
7) Phehlukwayo / Pretorius
8) Rabada
9) Nortjê
10) Ngidi
11) Shamsi
Markram's talent and recent form should secure him a spot. Would love for both all rounders Morris and Pretorius to start, but this will be highly unlikely. Our pacers Nortjê, Rabada and Ngidi is a powerful trio.

Morris's bowling pre lockdown improved tremendously, that coupled with his powerful hitting towards the end of an innings makes him the x-factor SA needs.
