00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Asnain.
00:05Australia has defeated Pakistan in the first one-day international series,
00:09after a fierce competition, with two victories.
00:12We will show you the details in this report.
00:14You have seen the report. Obviously, when Pakistan loses, it is sad.
00:19But they did a good job in the competition. The score was low, but they fought.
00:24We will talk about this in the studio.
00:26We have with us sports correspondent, Shahid Hashmi.
00:28Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:30The same old disease, batting.
00:32When we bothered so much in 203, if it was 250-260 here,
00:36then Pakistan's victory was certain.
00:39This is a big problem that we went to fight them in the country of kangaroos,
00:44and our arsenal is so weak.
00:47It was difficult, but the way the Pakistan team played today, hats off to them.
00:51Exactly.
00:52How much they fought.
00:53But if Pakistan did 250, then Australia would also play according to 250.
00:56In 203, they were 2 on 113, and in the 17th and 18th over, they were almost winning the match.
01:01There, Smith played a bad shot.
01:04Inglis played a very bad shot, when he got a chance to drop the catch.
01:08After that, their three victories.
01:10Haris Rao did very good bowling.
01:12But Australia also supported Pakistan equally.
01:15And if Rizwan didn't fight, didn't use the bowlers well,
01:19their field placing was so great.
01:22Today, the fielders were at a silly point.
01:25If the batsman defended, then the catch would have been out.
01:28And 2-3 catches went that way.
01:30So, Rizwan made a match of it.
01:32Otherwise, the total was very less.
01:34And this total, because of Naseem Shah,
01:3686 on the last 4 wickets, 55 on the last 3 wickets.
01:40So, the crowd that came, 25,831.
01:43The money that they had spent, was collected.
01:46And out of 25,831, 831 were Australian.
01:49The rest 25,000 were Pakistani.
01:51The amazing thing is, when we talk about Pakistan not batting well,
01:55out of 203, 40 runs were scored by your batter number 9.
01:59So, you would have scored 150 runs for Pakistan,
02:02if Naseem Shah hadn't gone.
02:04So, this is very important.
02:06I am saying the same thing, that we left Fakhar Zaman.
02:08We left Imamul Haq.
02:10How can we leave Saud Shakeel?
02:13You don't have a left-hander in the middle.
02:15This is very missing.
02:16In Australia, any batsman who is tentative,
02:19who will play with fear, like Saim Ayub played with fear.
02:22Abdullah Shafiq, while leaving, touched the ball and went.
02:25And with game awareness.
02:26Rizwan hit a very good four to Labushain.
02:29He sweeped.
02:30He threw the ball one or two steps back.
02:33He went to play the same shot.
02:34He got caught behind.
02:35So, this is game awareness.
02:36Shaheen Shafridi hit a four on the first game of Mitchell Stark.
02:40Then don't go to hit a four.
02:41Mitchell Stark will not give the four ball again and again.
02:44He came, he bowled.
02:46Naseem Shah did a very good batting.
02:48But if he had contributed a little more,
02:50then it could have been a big score.
02:52But again, I will say well about Rizwan.
02:55If he was the last captain,
02:56he would have lost his life in 203-204.
02:58If he had never fought, he would have said,
03:00we lost the match in 204.
03:01But Rizwan fought.
03:03And he fought so well that we were very close.
03:06155 to 7.
03:07But the Australians too.
03:09And Pat Cummins is an ideal player for this situation.
03:12Absolutely right.
03:13Okay, we are talking about our batting.
03:15So, there is a very big disease of our batting.
03:17Dot balls.
03:1810 overs.
03:19Mitchell Stark has played 44 dot balls in Pakistan.
03:22We will show you a report from this question.
03:24Right, we are back once again to the sports room.
03:26And we were talking to Mr. Shahid.
03:28Mr. Shahid, we just showed the package of dot balls.
03:30So, it's an old disease again.
03:31It's a very old disease.
03:32And the biggest thing was,
03:35in the first 20 overs,
03:37there are about 75 to 79 dot balls.
03:40If you subtract one, then 75 or 79.
03:43That's a lot.
03:44And you see,
03:4535 in 10 overs.
03:4651 in 15 overs.
03:4871 in 20 overs.
03:5089 in 25 overs.
03:52This is a very low score.
03:54You completed half the innings in 25 overs.
03:57And you haven't even crossed 100 yet.
03:59So, this is a very slow batting.
04:01To rotate the strike,
04:03if you take a single or double,
04:05then you should have at least 120 to 130 runs in 25 overs.
04:08Ajay, tell me,
04:10we have gone so close.
04:12So, obviously, we saw Australia a little rusty.
04:15They made those mistakes that we don't expect.
04:18They will do all the homework.
04:20There are days in between.
04:21The next match is on Friday.
04:23The next matches will be easier for Pakistan
04:26because they will keep separating their test squad.
04:29They have already said that
04:30the three top fast bowlers,
04:32Stark, Cummins and Hazlewood,
04:33will play two matches.
04:34Hazlewood didn't play the first match.
04:36Stark won't play the second match.
04:38Cummins will avoid going cross-country flight to Perth.
04:41So, he won't play the third match.
04:43And if they don't get two nil up,
04:45then in the third match,
04:46none of their test players,
04:47Labhushan, Smith, Cummins, Stark, Hazlewood,
04:50none of them will play.
04:51So, they already have a plan for everything.
04:53That's why in Perth,
04:54from 22nd or 24th November,
04:56they started their test match from India.
04:58So, they didn't go cross-country flight.
05:00So, it will be better for Pakistan.
05:02Former test cricketer,
05:03you know him,
05:04Mr. Basit Ali is with us.
05:05Mr. Basit, how did you like today's performance?
05:07Pakistan was very close.
05:10Najeeb, I think the match was very good.
05:13Very good, yes.
05:14Look, friends,
05:15defending on three runs like this,
05:17especially when you have played in Australia,
05:20three or four things were very good.
05:22The biggest thing was the way of captaincy.
05:25Captaincy, yes.
05:26Rizwan's captaincy was very good.
05:28And after that, Shaheen and Naseem,
05:31who expelled first,
05:33although Naseem was a little expensive,
05:35but he bowled in his right area.
05:37He bowled two outs.
05:39That's how the match was made.
05:40Unfortunately,
05:41it was 21-7.
05:44And Harish was a little expensive.
05:48Expensive.
05:49Harish bowled two outs in two balls.
05:51Pakistan should have won the match from there.
05:53But it was a good experience.
05:55And the biggest thing for Pakistanis,
05:59the way Babar Azam played today,
06:02it was seen after a long time,
06:03he returned his form.
06:05Do you think that the 37 runs he made,
06:09they came back to their original touch?
06:13Babar Azam today,
06:15like he was starting new,
06:18he was hungry for runs.
06:20I saw that Babar Azam.
06:22For that, 37 runs is very less.
06:25For that, 100 runs.
06:27We don't want Pakistan to make 100 runs.
06:30But the way of playing,
06:32the movement of the foot,
06:33that was great.
06:34He was hungry for runs.
06:36For me, the biggest thing was that
06:38he was hungry for runs.
06:40And it was seen that Babar Azam,
06:43that Babar Azam,
06:44was seen in touch again.
06:46It's a good sign for Pakistan.
06:47Is it a good sign for Pakistan, Mr. Shahid?
06:49A little bit.
06:50I mean, in the beginning,
06:51it felt like it was rusty.
06:52But the cover drives he made,
06:54the fours he made,
06:56were very good.
06:57The flicks he made on the left side,
06:59were very good.
07:00But I would like to ask Basit,
07:02that tell me,
07:03we didn't play any spinners.
07:05The Australians,
07:06as soon as they leave the court,
07:08they play fast bowlers.
07:11We didn't play any spinners.
07:13And we didn't even get Salman Agha to bowl.
07:16That's a very valid question, Mr. Shahid.
07:19We should have played this match at 40.
07:22If it was the turn of the spinners,
07:25whether it was Sahin,
07:27whether it was Ayub,
07:29whether it was Salman Ali Agha,
07:31we would have lost the match.
07:33That's why I said,
07:34the captain did a very good job.
07:36He said,
07:37I will go out of the fast bowlers.
07:38A small mistake I made,
07:40such good things have happened,
07:42I don't feel like saying it.
07:44I will say it in some other program.
07:46No, no, tell me,
07:47what is this?
07:48This is necessary for improvement.
07:50The short pitch,
07:51the fielder he had kept on the offside,
07:53he kept it on the left side.
07:55The batsman thought,
07:56the ball was coming on my head,
07:58on my calves.
08:00So, the ball that was on the offside,
08:02if he wanted to play,
08:03it would have easily hit the edge,
08:04or the shot would have been on the third man.
08:06The third man who was brought in,
08:08I saw a lack of captaincy in this.
08:11Because I am a batsman,
08:12I know when the fielder is on the left side,
08:14I am afraid that my catch doesn't go here.
08:17So, I chase the ball on the offside.
08:19Right.
08:20Basit, on the lower order,
08:21Zampa got some runs.
08:23But the way he bowls with variety,
08:25if there were 2-3 overs of spinners or spinners,
08:28it would have made a difference for me.
08:30The match wouldn't have ended early.
08:31But Cummins,
08:32he plays the fast bowlers so well.
08:34If there was a slight variation in pace,
08:36out of the box,
08:37the wicket would have come out.
08:39Shahid bhai,
08:40I said,
08:41it's a very good question.
08:42But there is a right-arm left-spinner
08:43who buys the wicket.
08:45Unfortunately,
08:46we don't have a right-arm left-spinner in the squad.
08:49Zampa is their main referee.
08:51For 4 series,
08:52for 4 series,
08:53for 4 series,
08:54for 4 series,
08:55left-arm spinners have been used.
08:58Basit bhai,
08:59you mentioned somewhere else
09:01that we should have a left-handed batsman in the middle.
09:04And we keep talking about it.
09:06Is there a place for Saud Shakeel?
09:08Do you think there is?
09:10I was tweeting that
09:12Pakistan needs left-handers for the Champions League.
09:15There are big names like Umar Ameen,
09:17Shahan,
09:18Saud Shakeel,
09:19Haseeb Ullah.
09:20But
09:21the team
09:22unfortunately has Arfaat Minhaj.
09:24He does batting and bowling.
09:26He wasn't playing.
09:27But
09:28it's a good sign that
09:29Niazi performed well.
09:31He took the statues well.
09:32The fielding was great.
09:33Unfortunately,
09:34it got dropped.
09:35But Pakistan's day was better today.
09:37But playing in Australia
09:39was better.
09:41The king of his house
09:43getting 8 out there
09:45is a big win for Pakistan.
09:46It's a big win.
09:47Thank you very much, Basit bhai.
09:49Shahid Ashmi sahib was also with us.
09:51Everyone is happy that Pakistan played well.
09:54Let's hope for a better performance
09:56in the match on Friday.
09:58That's all for today.
09:59I'll take your leave now.
10:01Take care.
10:02Allah Hafiz.
