00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb Ul-Hasnain.
00:18Pakistan's tour of South Africa is starting from tomorrow and the T20 series is about to start.
00:24The first match will be played in Durban. The challenge is tough, but the Pakistani team is determined.
00:30Pakistan's tour of South Africa consists of three T20s, three one-day and two tests.
00:35Four years ago, Pakistan defeated South Africa in both white ball formats at their home.
00:40The first T20 match between the two teams in Durban will start on Tuesday night at 9pm.
00:46To talk about this, we have with us the former cricketer, you all know him, Basit Ali.
00:51Basit brother, Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:53Wa-alaikum-salam.
00:55Basit brother, how do you see this? It's a big test for Pakistan. It's a big challenge to play against South Africa.
01:02Although some of their superstars will be missing, but the cricket will be fun. What do you think?
01:10I think the T20 series should win.
01:14Especially the five or six players who are missing.
01:19And our great players like Naseem Shah, Bapad, Haris Tohri and Sukhiyan.
01:30So, I think Pakistan should win this series.
01:34Do you think this challenge won't be tough for Pakistan?
01:38Because looking at the conditions and the way we are playing T20 cricket.
01:46Najeeb, the main players have arrived.
01:48The team that went to Zimbabwe was completely different.
01:51Now we have to see how the middle order performs.
01:55You have Saim, Izwan, Babar.
01:58Tayyab Tahir performed well on the Zimbabwe tour.
02:02Niazi.
02:03Aya Salman Aliya or some other guy.
02:07But our team is better than them.
02:09Especially our bowling is very good.
02:12All three of them.
02:13And the way Sukhiyan Mukeem and Abrar are bowling.
02:17So, I think our team has an advantage.
02:19And our team should be the favorite.
02:21First of all, tell me.
02:23When you say superstars have returned.
02:26The way T20 cricket is played on those superstars is also a big thing.
02:31The team in which Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Salman Ali Agha play.
02:38They will slow down the game.
02:41I think Aqib is with the team.
02:43I don't think the formation he has made.
02:48He must have given a strict policy.
02:50That we have to play this way.
02:52Because we have prepared for the World Cup in 2026.
02:55So, I think you will see it different.
02:57The public will see it different.
02:59Aqib's coaching.
03:02You will see this team different.
03:04The condition will change a little.
03:07But they are used to it.
03:09They have played before.
03:10All the people there have played.
03:12They were the same people on the Australia tour.
03:15They also performed there.
03:17I don't think there will be a problem on the bouncy track.
03:20Our bowling will have an advantage.
03:22Especially foul bowling.
03:24Tell me.
03:25After the Zimbabwe series.
03:27There was a big talk in many cricket hulls.
03:31You don't know from this.
03:33Because the opposing team is also playing so badly.
03:35You can't guess where your youngsters are standing.
03:39Wouldn't it be better if there was nothing in T20?
03:43We would have given more chances.
03:44Or do you think the balance between a senior and a junior is better?
03:48The boss is Aqib Javed.
03:52What is his planning?
03:54People say that the selection committee has made the team.
03:56I don't believe that.
03:58The total team is made by Aqib.
04:00What will we see different tomorrow?
04:03We will see that.
04:04Is there a preparation for the World Cup in 2026?
04:07Or is there a preparation to win the series?
04:10In Zimbabwe, you will see a preparation to win the series.
04:13I have seen it.
04:17Salman Ali Agha was the captain there.
04:20According to me, Salman Ali Agha should not be in the T20 team.
04:25It is good for a one-day performance and a test match.
04:29But in T20, Babar, Izwan and Salman Ali Agha.
04:34Two of them should play.
04:36Three should not play.
04:37How do you see Umair bin Yusuf?
04:40I saw some glimpses in him.
04:42But do you think he is ready?
04:48I don't think he is ready.
04:50Because the initial movement of the batter.
04:55In Zimbabwe, he was focusing on cutting the ball.
04:59Because he is good at cutting the ball.
05:02But not every bowler will go back.
05:05When he is caught, he will go forward.
05:08According to me, he will have to learn to hit the ball forward.
05:13He does hit the ball.
05:15But you will have to see how he hits the ball in a bouncy track.
05:19Basically, it is a cut-pull play.
05:21But in a big team, they don't hit the ball two or three times.
05:26Because nowadays, the new database people.
05:29I call them the database.
05:31They catch the ball immediately.
05:33And the video analysts of South Africa are very sharp.
05:38We were impressed by Tayyab Tahir.
05:42Saim Ayyub has succeeded in making his place.
05:45He is playing very well in the limited format.
05:48We still don't understand Usman Khan.
05:50When he walks, he walks.
05:52When he doesn't walk, he throws his wicket.
05:54There are still questions about his technique.
05:57What will you say after playing a lot?
06:00There is a lack of awareness.
06:02Whether it is Umair bin Yusuf.
06:04Whether it is Usman Khan.
06:07I will give the name of Niazi as well.
06:09The awareness.
06:11When Niazi's turn comes, he has to hit out.
06:15These kids should have been in Zimbabwe before.
06:18Salman Ali Agha should have come down.
06:21They should have awareness.
06:23People say that cricket is a game of sixes and fours.
06:27No.
06:28You should have cricket sense and awareness.
06:31Every day is not Sunday.
06:33Do you have to hit out?
06:35You have to see if there is Najeeb or any other bowler in front of you.
06:39How do you tackle him?
06:41I will give you an example.
06:42If someone hits a bowler like this, I will agree.
06:45You will be able to hit.
06:47You have to test everything against everyone.
06:51These kids have not been tested yet.
06:53Absolutely right.
06:54Last but not least.
06:55Sufian Mukeem has impressed me a lot.
06:58I am very happy.
06:59I hope he performs here on a big stage.
07:02Look Najeeb, he has done what he had to do.
07:06Now we have to groom him for 2026.
07:09If Allah wills it, we will make him 50 years old.
07:13This is what you have to try.
07:15You have to make him your weapon.
07:17See, weapons are made.
07:19If you want to remove him after one, two or three matches,
07:23and want to bring your favorite player to the team,
07:26that is a different thing.
07:28You have to focus on him and his performance.
07:32You have to focus on his performance till the World Cup.
07:35After that, you have to realize
07:37that when you give 22, 23, 24 matches to everyone,
07:42these kids have played 4-5 matches.
07:45You have to give them a long period.
07:48Because the World Cup is in Asia.
07:51So he will be our weapon.
07:53Absolutely right.
07:54The team of Pakistan is looking good.
07:56Basit bhai believes that there is a good chance for Pakistan.
08:01Moving on, let's talk about the Champions Trophy.
08:04Less than two and a half months have passed
08:06and the schedule has not been announced yet.
08:08What is going on?
08:09Basit bhai, we are tired of saying
08:12that the camel of the Champions Trophy will sit.
08:14But it is not sitting.
08:15Because it feels like it will be announced tomorrow
08:18and then the next day.
08:20Two more weeks have passed.
08:22What is going to happen now?
08:25Everything has been done.
08:27The schedule has been made.
08:29I have got a schedule from India.
08:31Both the semi-finals are in Pakistan.
08:36The subject has been written.
08:38The subject has been written.
08:40If India does not qualify.
08:42But one semi-final will be in Dubai.
08:45One semi-final will be in Pakistan.
08:47Everything is ready.
08:49They are just giving the announcement
08:52that when the announcement will be made.
08:54Because the promo has started.
08:56When the promo starts,
08:58it means that everything has been done.
09:00Broadcasters have also agreed.
09:02They have also spoken.
09:04There is a slight delay.
09:06Mr. Jay Shah and Mr. Mohsin Naqvi have spoken.
09:10Chairman PCP Mr. Mohsin Naqvi met the Prime Minister.
09:14He told everything.
09:16I just want to know one thing.
09:19In the Champions Trophy,
09:21neither India nor Pakistan lost.
09:23Because both India and Pakistan lost.
09:27Who lost?
09:29ICC.
09:30Absolutely.
09:32Let's take a commercial break.
09:34We will continue the discussion later.
09:42Glad to have you back once again to Sports Room.
09:44As you know,
09:46Champions T20 Cup matches are going on.
09:49Exciting matches are going on.
09:51Stallions defeated Lions by 12 runs.
09:54Mr. Basit, how are you watching the Champions T20 Cup?
09:57Stallions won 2 out of 2 matches.
10:01How do you see it?
10:03The captain is doing well.
10:05The batting is also good.
10:07And the preparation for PSL is also going on.
10:09The problem here is that
10:11the top scorers who did well
10:14are Hussain Talat and Shoaib Malik.
10:16You have to remove your future stars from here.
10:19Discovering Champions.
10:21Do you see that?
10:23Do the youngsters look good?
10:25Yes, I can see the youngsters.
10:27Hussain Talat is not a bad choice.
10:29He does bowling, batting and reverse switch hitting.
10:33He has been with us.
10:37But I will say that
10:39there was a jockey with a couple of players.
10:42The domestic fast bowler
10:44who was in the top 5
10:46with 7 crores
10:48who is from Andhrune Sindh.
10:50He is not seen in this tournament.
10:52The one day tournament
10:54which I used to joke about
10:56he is not seen in that as well.
10:58I think the people of the past
11:00who have made these teams
11:02especially the mentors
11:04they have taken care of the kids.
11:06Coming in the top 5 is a big job for fast bowlers
11:08and that too from Andhrune Sindh.
11:10I was upset not to see him
11:12but I saw Uthman Tariq.
11:14I liked him.
11:16Sajid Khan is sitting outside.
11:18Sajid Khan should also be fed.
11:20But I saw a couple of fast bowlers
11:22and I liked them.
11:24The new bowlers are good.
11:26The pitches are very good.
11:28Yesterday's pitch was very good.
11:30It was a very good pitch.
11:32Let's talk about the
11:34Border Gavaskar Trophy
11:36in which in the first match
11:38after getting such a convincing win
11:40in the second match
11:42in the pink ball test
11:44India's team was all over the place.
11:46It looks like a personal
11:48enmity of Travis Head.
11:50How did you see this match?
11:56I see it in a different style.
11:58India
12:00is coming from the under land.
12:02When they first
12:04batted
12:06it was 0-0.
12:08After that it should not have been
12:10out on 180 runs.
12:12When India bowled under lights
12:14they only had one out on 86.
12:16India lost this test match there.
12:18Pink ball
12:20everyone talks about it.
12:22Pink ball is only for under lights cricket.
12:24Those who bat well
12:26under lights
12:28bat well
12:30or bowl well, that team wins.
12:32India also needs
12:34a lot of test matches.
12:36They are not used to it.
12:38They take it easy.
12:40The reason for that is
12:42fans don't like it when
12:44the match ends in 2-3 days.
12:46Tell me where
12:48this series is going.
12:50India's team
12:52should concentrate
12:54on the Border Gavaskar Trophy
12:56because WBC
12:58is no longer useful.
13:00Just like South Africa won today.
13:02South Africa is not a team.
13:04Australia has more chances
13:06compared to India.
13:08Thank you very much.
13:10Asad Ali was with us
13:12and he was giving
13:14his analysis on all cricket topics.
13:16I hope you liked the program.
13:18This time I will take your leave.
13:20Take care. Allah Hafiz.
