I am struggling with protoss timing push with void phinix and +1 zealot. Everytime he pushes I dont have enough roach to def.Is there anyway to counter it ?.
Even I know it's coming I still cannot def it. When I face this build on ladder, how can Zerg stop this if cannot scout out?. If Zerg sack an overlord he even behind in timing.

i'm not zerg but I do a similar variation of this quite a lot.
Your main problem was scouting you should have two ovies in position to sac for some scouting info at 6-8 minutes. you would have seen the stargate for sure and hopefully the 6 extra gateways too. But even if you don't see the gateways you can guess thats its coming from his forge being chronoboosted (you should have a ling poking up to see whats up every now and then. You also saw a bunch of zealots and sentries going across the map this is quite a good indication an attack is coming. I'd also suggest having lings scout around for proxy pylons, denying these will slow down his attack quite a lot. Also make sure your bases are connected by creep so you can defend the voidray pheonix push with queens (you really shouldn't have lost that queen.
Once you saw the stargate with ur sac'd ovie at 7 minutes put down a hydra den as well so you CAN make hydras if you NEED to.
When you realized that there was a big push coming you can make a shittonne of roach hydra, make sure you use the roaches as a buffer. I also noticed your roach micro needs some work since you lose lots of roaches to zealots on creep when you should be taking hardly any damage from them unless you're off creep. Also make sure you don't get supply blocked so hard, if you see stargate play you should make some ovies preemptively because you will lose some for sure. I think that your supply block at 94 was what really cost you the game. you also didn't make any extra queens to handle the air, if you aren't gonna get hydra at least get some extra queens to deal with pheonixes and void while you micro your roaches vs the zealots.

then there was your attack right at the end, there was no real reason for this attack, you could have just double expanded and you would have been fine since you were still on about even workers. and about even army supply, sure he would be a bit ahead but at least you wouldn't have been out of the game.
