A dominant Islamabad United (159/4) dispose of Peshawar Zalmi (156/8) by 6 wickets in Match 12

[MenInG]

Islamabad may be lower in the table but have just played 2 games so difficult to judge where they really stand here! But Peshawar's improvements are there for all to see so a good game in the offing.

 

[MenInG]

Seems PZ the popular choice for winners of this contest!

[Hextro]

I would love to see PZ bat first. Hopefully IU will unleash Zeeshan Zameer today.

 

[Cric1234]

I think Islamabad will win this one.

 

[MenInG]

Islamabad United won the toss and chose to bowl first.

 

[Barragan]

Abrar dropped for some odd reason!

He was magnificent in the last game.

 

[SamNJ]

Hassan, Rummaan, Curran
Is this the weakest pace bowling attack in PSL ?

 

[jattafridi]

Zalmi Zalmi Zalmi

Come on Babar and Saim ayub

 

[Hextro]

PZ batting first is a plus but IU still not playing Zeeshan Zameer is a big negative.

 

[world cup captain]

PZ batting first is a plus but IU still not playing Zeeshan Zameer is a big negative.

He was injured. Shadab mentioned that Zeeshan will be drafted in as soon as he is match fit.

 

[Hextro]

I'd rather Babar and Saim open the innings than Babar and Haris. Haris seems like the type of player that can do the same amount of damage he does when he opens the batting or bats at three. If Pakistan's NT is going to play Haris at three then PZ should also do the same.

Oh chal mama enjoy Harris’s sixes

 

[Hextro]

Haris is hammering Hasan Ali here.

 

[Omer2002]

Ermmm how is Hasan the nakamma playing...

 

[Rana]

The guy averages a six every 10 balls

Absolute madness!

 

[Hextro]

Oh chal mama enjoy Harris’s sixes

Doing the same thing bhai.

 

[Rana]

Win the toss and lose first


By bowling


Story of HBL PSL 8

 

[Hextro]

17 off Hasan's first over. The guy is finished.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar has become a shadow of himself. Poor footwork and no confidence.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sad to see hasan going this way ,had a great year in tests in 2021.

 

[Rana]

Babar take a single and get Harris on strike

Tujhse nahi ho paye ga brother

 

[Galla]

Haris will be a global T20 superstar.This is the guy that can actually be considered a modern aggressive opener with his SR unlike fake aggressors sharjeel and the rest that have almost the same SRs as rizbar

 

[Rana]

Come on Harry show us the off side brother!

 

[Rana]

Tuk Tuk

 

[Hextro]

Haris will be a global T20 superstar.This is the guy that can actually be considered a modern aggressive opener with his SR unlike fake aggressors sharjeel and the rest that have almost the same SRs as rizbar

True, one of the reasons why I don't like Sharjeel and Fakhar type of batsmen is because overall they bat at the same SR as BA and MR.

Guys like Haris on the other hand bat at a much higher SR on a consistent basis. The only thing I want to see from Haris is bigger scores and more consistency.

 

[Omer2002]

Exacty why is everybody hacking leg side just needs to move a bit and play offside shots

 

[Hextro]

Gulbaz looks quick in the field.

 

[Rana]

Strike rate 250

 

[world cup captain]

IU has had a very weak bowling line up for the last couple of seasons. Hasan as a platinum isnt gonna cut it anymore.

 

[Hextro]

Gulbaz looks quick in the field.

Gurbaz*

 

[The_KING]

What a shot by Babar.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely strike for 6 and then late cut for 4

 

[The_KING]

Imagine playing Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf in T20s in 2023. Shadab is a clueless captain.

 

[Hextro]

Great straight hit by Babar, and now a four down third-man.

 

[Galla]

Babar and haris is the perfect combo imo

 

[Hextro]

Hasan sounds irritated. I don't blame him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Majestic timing for 4

 

[Rana]

Good yar Babar

After a long

Long time

 

[Hextro]

What's the most runs scored in the powerplay in PSL history?

 

[Galla]

Imagine playing Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf in T20s in 2023. Shadab is a clueless captain.

Especially when you have abrar on the bench

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Combo

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Lovely touch babar

 

[Rana]

Harris lost his timing

What’s wrong with this guy?

 

[Rana]

That’s the 3rd full toss he’s missed out on!

 

[Zeshan547]

Bobby aaj kya kha k aaya hai?

 

[FreakCricket]

Good yar Babar

After a long

Long time

what good? scoring runs on a village level bowling team of faheem sobers, Tom curran and Haseena Ali

 

[Omer2002]

No idea why they have slowed down..need to keep hitting all the way down

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good disciplined bowling by IU , no extras.

 

[Rana]

what good? scoring runs on a village level bowling team of faheem sobers, Tom curran and Haseena Ali

Tbf, he hasn’t been doing that against poor bowlers too.

He has become extremely complacent

 

[Hextro]

Hopefully PZ doesn't start slowing down.

 

[Omer2002]

shadab on i reckon haris is about to go after him

 

[MenInG]

Brilliant by the captain and his apprentice 69/0 (6) CRR: 11.5

 

[JibranAnsari]

Alex wharf looks very familiar

 

[Hextro]

The problem with Haris is that he doesn't convert his starts into big scores.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shaddy boy gets his man

 

[SamNJ]

Except Shadab there is nothing in this bowling.
At least KK have Imad+Amir and some experience in Tahir.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Spin and babar

 

[Hextro]

Mubasir is a good inclusion by IU.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Saim ayub gets out

 

[Rana]

Pick this kid and ruin him

Classic Babar

 

[Hextro]

Not the smartest shot by Saim. Should've waited for the fast bowlers to come on before taking drastic risks.

 

[SamNJ]

Can't cut that ball. Kept low too. A bit unlucky.

 

[ammar_merry]

Pick this kid and ruin him

Classic Babar

These kids are just hype.Pakistani batsman just doesn't know building an inning.

 

[Hextro]

Babar will probably slowdown now.

 

[Darkrai]

Good learning experience for Saim.

 

[Hextro]

If there's one thing Saim and Haris can learn from Babar than it's how to stay in for long periods of time.

 

[badsha001]

These kids are just hype.Pakistani batsman just doesn't know building an inning.

well the kid likes to play aerial shot from ball 1 and will be very effective inside the powerplay. Its Babar who is selfishly hogging the opening slot.

 

[Hextro]

PZ fumbling a good start.

 

[badsha001]

If there's one thing Saim and Haris can learn from Babar than it's how to stay in for long periods of time.

T20 is about hit out or get out something Babar and co fails to understand.

 

[Rana]

Not the smartest shot by Saim. Should've waited for the fast bowlers to come on before taking drastic risks.

Yeah wait till Mubasir and Shadab bowl 6 overs out of the innings

 

[Hextro]

T20 is about hit out or get out something Babar and co fails to understand.

Right now PZ is certainly hitting and getting out. They need to learn not to go after good deliveries.

 

[Rana]

Tum karo tou aggression

Amir kare tou badtameezi

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Nothing deliveries giving Hasan wickets.

 

[Saj]

Lovely over by Mubasir.

PZ collapsing.

 

[Galla]

The problem with Haris is that he doesn't convert his starts into big scores.

doesnt matter 40 @191 SR is great anyday.Its not his fault that the rest of the batters are crumbling like a pack of cards

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Tum karo tou aggression

Amir kare tou badtameezi

Hasan took wicket and showed aggression, Amir got hit for boundaries and started abusing Haris. Hell of a difference!

 

[Hextro]

Yeah wait till Mubasir and Shadab bowl 6 overs out of the innings

Hasan Ali is bowling right now. If Saim waited a little bit he would've been able to get himself set against Hasan.

 

[The_KING]

What poor batting from Peshawar. Gifting an awful bowler like Hasan Ali two wickets in the same over.

 

[Asif321]

What a beauty Hasan Ali

 

[Rana]

Hasan took wicket and showed aggression, Amir got hit for boundaries and started abusing Haris. Hell of a difference!

Chal gyaan Mat jhaar bhai per
