I reckon the streak for the team batting last and winning will be broken today. Its a day game as well so will be much easier to defend.

 

[MenInG]

Karachi Kings have won the toss and will be bowling first against Multan Sultans

 

[Rellu_Katta]

feel bad for Qasim Akram, Danish Aziz and Zeeshan Malik..

Useless coach Wasim Akram ..... seriously bad

 

[Firebat]

Karachi Kings have won the toss and will be bowling first against Multan Sultans

Congratulations to Karachi!

 

[Saj]

Same XIs for both teams it seems.

I thought Yamin's place may have been under threat today.

 

[last_knight]

PSL needs bowlers to dominate today. Will we see a 5-Wicket Haul today or another Century?
Expecting One of two S-Khans to have a very good match.

Wasim isn't their coach. Gibbs is

Perhaps no 5 wicket haul but I expect Qadir to shine today

 

[naseem]

It's getting lottery type....win toss win match....even 200 is not safe.....bowlers of PSL.......dekhao apna jalwa

 

[Firebat]

4 then 3. This is why Rizwan is so good in the powerplay

 

[Firebat]

That is unbelievably lucky for Rizwan...

 

[ssuhaide]

Those stumps look like they are glued in. Amazingly the bails did not drop.

Mohammad Amir is bowling an unbelievable over! Wow, just wow!

 

[asadee]

Both reviews lost. Way to go Karachi

Amir deserved a wicket there. How unlucky!

 

[Rana]

People's champ clueless against a proper international pedigree bowler.

 

[AAli98]

Amir deserved a wicket there. How unlucky!

Exacly.. there’s a thread going on about Mohammed Amir who.. the only half decent bowler pak has if hasnains & raufs are the future then the futures bleak.

 

[Firebat]

Yes Mohammad Amir deserved a wicket, but it doesn't give him a right to burn both reviews in one over. Solely concerned on getting his wicket, and the captain too weak to refuse.

 

[Saj]

Difference in class between Maqsood and Amir clearly on show.

That was some 1st over from Amir.

 

[Firebat]

Losing his length in this 2nd over Amir. He bowled 5 yorkers in that first over, just keep it going

 

[Omer2002]

Yes the half decent bowler getting the treatment now..he went for 8 leg byes in first over

 

[Omer2002]

2020 is just lottery its always a batters game..

 

[Firebat]

 

[Rana]

Blistering start!

Rizwan 10 off 12

Lynn 32 off 14

 

[Rana]

Haha itching for that leg side hack

 

[Rana]

What a useless bowler Maqsood is in the power play

 

[Firebat]

72/1 in the powerplay, big score will be posted today

 

[asadee]

I hope this Waqas Maqsood doesn't ever play for Pakistan again

 

[Omer2002]

Emerging bowlers have been the best in this psl surprisingly...i reckon arshad today will do well

 

[naseem]

Poor fielding runs in vein for Pakistani fielders

 

[Rana]

The way this Maqsood guy runs, bowls, fields, picks up the cricket ball etc are mannerisms that are ugly as an international sportstman

 

[Rana]

Absolutely useless cricketer!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

This fielding from Karachi is extremely suspicious.

 

[Darkrai]

Wouldn't mind seeing Rizwan win against Karachi.

 

[Omer2002]

I dnt see.the urgency in multans innings..in my.opinion they have the most explosive batting in psl they should smack all the balls knowing chasing teams have always won the match

 

[Firebat]

What a shot

 

[Firebat]

And follows it up with good running, great cricket

 

[LeedsGreen]

I dnt see.the urgency in multans innings..in my.opinion they have the most explosive batting in psl they should smack all the balls knowing chasing teams have always won the match

theyre on 107 from 10.... plenty of urgency there, should be looking at 200+ minimum

 

[Omer2002]

theyre on 107 from 10.... plenty of urgency there, should be looking at 200+ minimum

Yes they are but without even taking any risk i think they have to look at 220 minimum

 

[Firebat]

With 9 wickets in hand, Multan should be getting at least 210/215

 

[Omer2002]

4 and 6 first 2 balls now this is what i was talking about 9 wickets in hand

 

[Rana]

LOL couldnt hack that to deep midwicket unfortunately

 

[Saj]

Karachi fielding today as if they are playing in a benefit match.

So lazy in the field.

 

[Omer2002]

Karachi still in this if they keep under 200

 

[Thunderbolt14]

LOL couldnt hack that to deep midwicket unfortunately

No need to be happy when he fails. Call a spade a spade and criticize the strike rate or inability to hit out (though 40(30) is very decent if the run rate is already 11 from the other end).

In T20 your wicket doesn’t matter. Strike rate does and Rizwan has steadied the ship on course for a 210 score.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Karachi fielding today as if they are playing in a benefit match.

So lazy in the field.

I look at the team management and somehow doubt it is laziness.

 

[MHN1293]

Better innjngs than the babar one.

 

[MHN1293]

Excellent over by arshad.

 

[Saj]

Poor start to his innings from Maqsood.

Lazy running too.

 

[Rafa]

1(6) Maqsood

 

[Omer2002]

Is.maqsoof playing a test match...they have let karachi back in this. Last match babz couldnt hit so they couldnt cross 200 and here such a platform being wasted

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Hamaray Heroes strikes again. Bowling strike rate 7.2

 

[MHN1293]

If t20 leagues are anything to go by for the pcb arshad should be picked instead of rauf.

 

[Omer2002]

220 looks miles off now..they never attacked imad

 

[Firebat]

Big opening for Karachi to squash this innings. Get the wicket-takers on

 

[Firebat]

Brilliant bowling by Christian

 

[Omer2002]

Absolutely fantastic bowling..karachi on top now for sure although multan dont have a bad attack need 200

 

[Rana]

Worst ball in cricket history

 

[Omer2002]

Omgggg what was that..hasnain had an execuse but this

 

[Titan24]

Arshad bowled last one almost for a six

 

[Rana]

Arshad Iqbal and Qaqas Maqsood keeping Multan in the game here

 

[Mueez]

Hamaray Heroes strikes again. Bowling strike rate 7.2

) why is this happening...

 

[guldozer]

They've shortened the boundaries since the rest day earlier this week. There's no need whatsoever.

I hate seeing short boundaries in limited overs cricket.

 

[Firebat]

Arshad Iqbal and Qaqas Maqsood keeping Multan in the game here

Arshad Iqbal is the reason Multan aren't at 200 already...

 

[Omer2002]

Arshad has bowled well as i said all emerging ones have done well

 

[Titan24]

Arshad Iqbal and Qaqas Maqsood keeping Multan in the game here

Other than those 5 wides/noball thing, I think Arshad has bowed pretty well considering the overall context of the innings.

 

[AAli98]

Khushdil killer Miller should get em over 205

 

[Titan24]

141.9 kph from Amir. Him bowling above 140 kph now a days is a rare site

 

[Rana]

Softdil bowled by Maqsood

 

[MHN1293]

Kushdil over remeber the name. Not good by muotan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

141.9 kph from Amir. Him bowling above 140 kph now a days is a rare site

He's bowling at 135kph and the speed gun just had some fun.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Dukhdil walks back

 

[Titan24]

Surely Multan has to score 200 from here

 

[Omer2002]

Amir is a trundler now..khush dil is pretty awful

 

[Deewana Mastana]

220 would have won MS the game

 

[Firebat]

This guy Khsuhdil is getting opportunity after opportunity and he can't stop failing

 

[Omer2002]

Well 200 wasnt enuff last night so its their own fault thsts despite 20 extras and poor karachi fielding..there was no urgency in my opinion

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maqsood has been poor with the bat

 

[Titan24]

He's bowling at 135kph and the speed gun just had some fun.

In his 3rd over he bowled another one at 140.8 kph as well. Not common though, a rare sight.
