Babar Azam's 90* helps Karachi Kings [198/3] defeat Multan Sultans [195/6] by 7 wickets in PSL 6

Afridi these days with the bat is no better than a tail ender
 
Brathwaite should have been at the crease 3 overs ago
 
For a team with rossou, kushdil, afridi, braithwate for the death overs this has been disappointing stuff.
 
Imad bowled a very good spell in the match situation with the run rate at 10 an over.
 
Ermmm just realised Amir Yamin is playing he hasnt bowled just fielded so why didnt danish aziz play instead of him
 
Couldnt get to 200. Poor knock at the end from Maqsood.

I wonder why karachi didnt replace him today. Hes only good with the new ball and he wont get that oppertunity with imad and amir.
 
Only one boundary in the last 5 overs with the batsmen they’ve got a disappointing finish.
 
Maqsood cost his team 30 runs

A winning score of 230 was possible for MS after the top 3 scored today.

Brathwaite instead of Khushdil could have been tried too.
 
poor finish from multan from the start they had, khushdil may be the worst 'slogger' ever seen and its a shame they dont have a back up middle order batsman to replace him

Actually two boundaries off the bat (Not including the wides here). One against Arshad Iqbal in 16th and one in the last over.

Also Russouw, Khushdil and Afridi couldnt get going to rub salt on the wounds.

Said it in MS squad thread. Sohaib Maqsood performs at start of tournament and then towards end of it. In between he manages to mess it badly.
 
What is the context behind yellow caps today which both teams including the umpires are wearing?
 
I do not understand why KK got rid of Hales and Rutherford. Rizwan was understandable because he wasn't going to play even though I don't agree with getting rid of him.
 
Good battle that. Dhani vs two international batsmen in Babar and Sharjeel.

And both of them respected his bowling (bar that short and wide ball).
 
Dhani looks perfect for our test team if he is 6 ft 2 as Saj said then it will be perfect..Multan have a good variety attack nly bratwaite was an issue but his pace has been up in this psl i remember he used to be dibbly dobbly bowler
 
Edged it either side of the wicket keeper now. Luck favours the brave
 
Proper new ball bowling this. Sohail moving it both ways, Dhani getting that inswinger going.

Refreshing since Pakistani seamers in this era have been so poor with the new ball.
 
Sharjeel looks like a sitting duck against the moving ball. Needs to begin playing at 4/5.

They wanted a middle order batsman so replaced Hales with Ingram. Dan Christian is rated pretty highly in the T20 circuit so they got him as finisher over Rutherford. Arguable moves but, I think this could have been thinking behind.
 
Other than one 6 some lucky 4s for KK vs Sohail Khan
 
Can't keep Sharjeel quiet for too long though.

Unlucky over for MS.

Dan Christian is a good signing but Ingram for Hales just doesn't make sense. Hales did well last season as well. So they got rid of a player who is performing for one who is really inconsistent.
 
Babar doesn’t have the game for high scoring matches in limited overs he’ll always be a steady accumulator playing to better his average
 
Quality shots from Babar. This is a poor attack and a good batting pitch. There is no real excuse as to why he can't play a big role in a win for KK here.

Don't MS have a left arm spinner other than Khushdil in the squad? Would have been worth a gamble against Babar.
 
Some top stuff from Babar in this over. Just proper cricketing shots for 3 consecutive boundaries
 
If the fixer keeps batting like this ,he will be back in the Pakistan squad for sure.
 
50 partnership after 25 balls, wonderful batting from these 2
 
MS have an international class batting line up. It's a shame they don't have a couple of decent bowlers. Otherwise they would be favourites for the tournament.
 
Babar+Sharjeel is clearly the best opening Partnership in Pakistan, but we want to stuff Rizwan in there for some weird reason!
 
Thats a brutal start from KK. MS needs couple of wickets here
 
Should be our opening partnership in the T20 WC. Or Rizwan at 2 and Babar at 3.

Platform perfectly set now for middle order.
 
Dahani seems to be a decent learner. Didnt show any slow balls or yorkers in the first match, showed good yorkers in the second match and now slower ball in the third to take wicket of Sharjeel
 
This is exactly the reason why we have been stuck in this cycle of mediocrity for the last few years. Rizwan is currently in one of the best purple patches we have seen from a Pakistani batsmen in a long time- dominating both spin and pace. However some fans would prefer to see an unfit, unmotivated match fixer in the team only due to the fact that he can hit sixes after being dropped twice and dismissed to a no ball.
 
Dhani with that high arm action gets more disconcerting bounce than most of our seamers. Even 6ft 5 Shaheen doesn't use his height as well.

If he's doing this in Karachi, cannot wait to see how he fares on more supportive wickets in SENA.

The fixer should not play for Pakistan again. After Amir we should have set a precedent, if your involved in fixing you don't play for Pakistan again. That is my moto after the Amir incident anyway.

Sharjeel and Amir are showing you can fix, and still play for Pakistan without any major consequences.

It definitely add more dimensions than Babar and Rizwan combo. Fakhar also did well with 82* and was highest scorer in National T20 cup as well. So he is also trying to push a case forward. However, one thing is clear that atleast one off Babar and Rizwan will and should be able adapt to the middle order role.
 
Qadir and Afridi will have to put their hands up today if MS has to win
 
We will need a batsman like Sharjeel for sure. His 15 ball 30s will be far more beneficial to Pakistan’s cause in comparison to Rizwan or Babar’s 40 ball 55s

Yes both Fakhar and Sharjeel have gotten some big scores but they have also have looked at sea at the start of an innings. It's great if they click on but if they don't and get out, they put pressure on the rest of the line-up. Rizwan on the other hand starts with a bang and keeps the run-rate clicking. I would wait till the end of the tourney to make a solid judgement.
