Babar Azam (77*) and Mohammad Nabi (67) help Karachi to an impressive 6-wicket win over Peshawar

Rather watch National T20 with full strength teams than this crap.

Only good international players are Gayle, Rashid and Du Plessis.

The foreign journeyman playing means that promising youngsters miss out.

So you don't rate Hales, Steyn, Bopara, Rossow, Dunk as international standard

So far he's awful. It's like he has forgotten how to bat currently, he is batting at a S/R of 57 & Pakistani fans compare him to Kohli.

He has not been awful in T20 innings, you dont score every game. The ones he has he looked fine.
 
Let's see if Babar can win his team matches. Today is the perfect situation. KK didn't have a great start chasing a decent total. With Ingram out of form, all eyes on Babar.
 
Babar is a great player but he's not a match-winner.

So far in his 6 years in International cricket, he has really played one match-winning knock & what a great knock that was but I don't think he would have helped Pakistan in that game if conditions were batting-friendly & we were chasing 330+ target.

I'll change my views if today he single-handedly wins this game for Karachi.

Fakhar is better
 
All this talk of imad's poor captaincy but this has been really good from Malik. 3 overs a piece from his opening bowlers. Not giving Karachi a chance to catch up on RRR in the powerplay.

So far in this year's PSL, he has only played 1 good innings 90* from 60 balls, rest of his innings were so pathetic. Basically, the rest of his innings were like Ahmad Shezad was batting. I hope he recovers from this bad form.

Its a team game , one batsman does not decide the fate. PZ score many chiped in. So few KK need to help Babar as well.
 
So karachi traded hales for this guy who had one single good innings the last season he played for karachi.
 
Ingram deserves to be demoted to diamond category as per his performances in this season. Was good year or two ago but, definitely no platinum level performance till now.
 
PZ need to field well, can't afford to give these boundaries, Match is still not over, still imad and dan to come.

think this should be his last psl- hes served the league well so should be appreciated but along with the likes of delport and roussow, its time to move on to younger players

yes, seems really out of form, Can't middle a single ball.
 
No way is amad butt 25. More like 30 and thats understating. One of my relatives looks exactly like him and hes in his 40s.
 
Babar needs to play a special knock for karachi to win here. Would love to see it but I don't think he has it in him to pull the team out of this without a lot of help from nabi here
 
Umaid Asif is a grown man who is a fan of Marvel. Hopefully he gets spanked and Zalmi lose

Dunk doesn’t even get into the XI for the Stars these days...

Different conditions, I think if you put Wade playing for psl will struggle on these pitches, (though he is in Aussies team) But Dunk seems to be doing better here.
 
Required run rate 12 an over & Babar still batting on 120 S/R. Such classy innings from the best T20 player in the world.

I'm not a Karachi fan, just want Babar to take initiative & play some match-winning knocks for Pakistan & he will never win games for Pakistan in Wt20 with these type of innings.
 
Rafa said:
For now yes but they could easily be taken apart from international experience players like Nabi and Babar. Otherwise this target is out of reach.

Lets see hot it goes, Finger cross. But we do forget Saqib (foreign player)
 
Annoying girl on my twitter is supporting Karachi but Umaid Asif is a Marvel fan. Tough to choose who to support here. Maybe Karachi to keep the tournament more spicy
 
Difference of 7 runs so far between the two teams but that last over is going to cost karachi.

Not surprising, Its odd how people judge players’ age when there are countless living human beings around of similar age and share similar outlook as well. Half of the well built teenagers will be considered age fudgers by some. Anyone who has gone to different educational institutions, workplaces etc know how much the looks of a person of similar age can vary.

KK losing it can make it more spicy too as MS and QG will be there for the 4th spot as well.
 
Babar in his zone once again. No need to make an effort, there is a guy at the other end taking all the risks.
 
Dont they know anything about Sunglasses 😎. He lost the ball in the end otherwise it was a decent complete catch.
 
Massive drop by Amad. I don't understand how Pakistani players lack basic fielding disciplines.

It's like he's not even trying to play any shot here really pathetic stuff from Pakistan's captain.
 
PZ has every chance to defend it but cant afford such lapses in the field
 
Babar making the same mistakes. Not slog evrything but atleast look to be more proactive and try to find the gaps instead of tucking it away for singles. Rrr is 12 not 10 or 9.
 
Almost a Century needed in 8 overs. It's a tough ask everywhere but only in PSL such scores get chased with ease.
 
Nabi is striking it well, babar just need to take singles. no need for undue risk, As long as babar their, kk are in it.
 
Peshawar needs to make sure that Babar stays on the pitch & they will surely win this game.
