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

[Hasan123]

Inran Tahir is the best leg spinner in the MS squad and he isn't playing lol.

 

[last_knight]

Brilliant as always Dr. Knight.

Sohail Khan has bowled well. Unlucky though.

Second S khan to bowl now. This pitch should suit him.

 

[Firebat]

Babar really batting well

 

[LeedsGreen]

Babar+Sharjeel is clearly the best opening Partnership in Pakistan, but we want to stuff Rizwan in there for some weird reason!

namely... we need to play a wicket keeper....

 

[Titan24]

Babar taking the game away here with 43* off 26 currently. MS needs his wicket

 

[silentkiller187]

Why do desis always pull their phone out and flash it when they are on camera, every time the camera pans on someone in the crowd they pull their phone out.

 

[Hasan123]

Babar looks more fluent today. Expect him to kick on for the rest of the tournament.

 

[Omer2002]

Why do desis always pull their phone out and flash it when they are on camera, every time the camera pans on someone in the crowd they pull their phone out.

Because they get told by the cameraman....


Its a sponsporship thing

 

[Bewal Express]

Spinners bowling absolute rubbish

 

[Titan24]

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.

Rizwan can open with one of them (It will maintain the left right combo as well) and Babar can come in the middle. I agree that both Fakhar and Sharjeel can get out early as well but on their good day they have more chance of completely taking the game away from opposition.

Yes things would be more clear by the end of the tournament.

 

[Bewal Express]

Qadir is playing himself out of the T20 PK team

 

[Firebat]

Babar picking every gap on the field

 

[silentkiller187]

That lady was sticking her iPhone 12 in front of the camera about 10 mins ago, dont think that was an oppo smart moment.

Sharjeel and Fakhar will never get runs consistently. They aren't very good

 

[Titan24]

50* off 32 balls for Babar at SR of 156.

 

[Coolcapri]

Inran Tahir is the best leg spinner in the MS squad and he isn't playing lol.

Agree, They should include him in place of Afridi or Qadir

 

[Coolcapri]

Qadir is playing himself out of the T20 PK team

Yep, too short.

 

[silentkiller187]

When sharjeel gets going he’s exactly what Pakistan need at the top, unfortunately at the moment it looks like he gets lucky more than anything technically done well. If he starts playing consistently then fair play get him in the team but at the moment babar and rizwan are just better that’s the facts

 

[Bewal Express]

Qadir bowling absolute tripe. Really disappointed with him. He bowls full he doesn't go for runs, he bowls short he gets hit, it doesn't take Einstein to work it out.

 

[Hasan123]

Agree, They should include him in place of Afridi or Qadir

It has to be for 1 of the overseas players.

 

[Titan24]

Sharjeel and Fakhar will never get runs consistently. They aren't very good

Yes they wont get runs consistently, no arguing that. However, our middle order has been mediocre as well so one of Babar or Rizwan can come in handy just like Babar showed in the 3rd T20 against SA. In T20s in my opinion you need a mixture of anchors/consistent performers and players who on their day can take the game away. Anchoring at the top with players like Iftikhar and Khushdil at the end who have been struggling to finish hasnt worked till now.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

50* off 32 balls for Babar at SR of 156.

Kind of funny how everyone forgets after one bad patch that he still is your best bat in the country .
He kind of lost his form after thumb injury but expect him to regain his form based on how he works on his game. And here now pundits are declaring rizwan is better then bobby

I am also not fully convinced, But i think pak need to take either sharjeel or fakher and if conditions suits them than throw them in to have a go.

Our fans generally judge players match to match basis. I am pretty sure even Bradman would have faced criticism and would have been said mediocre on the days he failed or struggled.

 

[Coolcapri]

Can't play 2 leggies, Its not Motera here.

 

[Hasan123]

Seems like a last throw of the dice.

 

[Coolcapri]

Can't play 2 leggies, Its not Motera here.

i mean can't play 3 leggie.

 

[MHN1293]

Kushdil on for babar.

 

[Cric1234]

MS need a Left arm spinner they should’ve picked Raza Hasan give him some exposure.

 

[Coolcapri]

Kushdil on for babar.

Good move

 

[Madplayer]

Babar murdering everyone today

 

[Coolcapri]

Again four on the back foot, spinner continue being generous to babar

 

[Titan24]

Babar playing a match winning knock. MS struggling here

 

[Coolcapri]

This match is of KK to loose.

 

[Bewal Express]

Let's go to what works and that's Babar opening and that work around that. Hafeez at 4 and HA at 5, look the best bets, that wil leave 2 and 3 to be sorted.

 

[MHN1293]

I didnt see that cirrectly could the feilder have stopped it if he tried?

 

[Cric1234]

Ordinary bowling target being chased easily who will break the streak.

 

[Titan24]

Considering struggles of MS spinners here, it wont be a bad idea to maybe have another seamer over Afridi or Qadir in the next match. Maybe give Mohammad Umar or Sohaibullah another chance.

 

[Bewal Express]

Babar murdering everyone today

Not played well. Some really poor bowling by the spinners

 

[Coolcapri]

Rizwan need to bring back one of the pacer as it to easy for kk

 

[Coolcapri]

Not played well. Some really poor bowling by the spinners

Agree

 

[NeVerMind]

Not played well. Some really poor bowling by the spinners

Afridi getting a taste of his own medicine (from the past that is)....

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Rizwan playing 3d bringing khusdil .
I think people have this misconception about babar that he is weak against spinners well he is but that not all spinners .He is Great against leg spinners and in my opinion issue is not about left or right hand either .
Finegrspinners are babar kryptonite.

 

[Madplayer]

Not played well. Some really poor bowling by the spinners

Was struggling in the beginning but has kicked on quite nicely. Bowling is not that great i agree.

 

[Cric1234]

Afridi has been awful so far needs to improve.

 

[asadee]

What happened to Ilyas? He was a good bowler for Multan

 

[Coolcapri]

Khusdil was a good move till he bowl last bowl short and ruined the good over.

 

[MHN1293]

70 from 8. This in in the bag for karqchi.

 

[Omer2002]

Afridi is finished yet he is given the ball

 

[Bewal Express]

Afridi shouldn't be in the team. He has bowled rubbish in this whole tournament

 

[Titan24]

Let's go to what works and that's Babar opening and that work around that. Hafeez at 4 and HA at 5, look the best bets, that wil leave 2 and 3 to be sorted.

Fair enough. I think things will be more clearer by the end of PSL with regards to the direction which the team and squad should go with leading upto the world T0.

 

[Cric1234]

Spinners getting a lot of Phainty from Clarke ordinary stuff easy win for Karachi.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rizwan just cant win anything

 

[Firebat]

Joe Clarke murdering this bowling

 

[Rana]

Come on MS, at least try to make a game of this!

 

[MHN1293]

More than babar clarke is murdering the bowling. Great pick by the kk management.

 

[Rana]

Joe Clarke murdering this bowling

Well if you feed Softdil Shah to him...

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Babar+Sharjeel is clearly the best opening Partnership in Pakistan, but we want to stuff Rizwan in there for some weird reason!

Are we watching the same game? Sharjeel looked horrible against the moving ball. It’s a miracle he not only survived but had two edges go for four, embellishing his strike rate.

 

[Coolcapri]

Rizwan captaincy deficiency exposed. Need to be vocal and more confident.

 

[Rana]

Autopilot trying to think out of the box, well that failed miserably

 

[Rana]

Are we watching the same game? Sharjeel looked horrible against the moving ball. It’s a miracle he not only survived but had two edges go for four, embellishing his strike rate.

I am, how was Rizwan convincing against yesterday’s news Mohammad Amir?

 

[Titan24]

Hales and Clarke should be in the plans for Eng for World T20 surely in my opinion but, considering their disciplinary issues of the past not sure if it will happen.

 

[Madplayer]

Afridi has been awful so far needs to improve.

Ab agle janam mai improve karega

 

[asadee]

Mohammed Ilyas not in Multan squad?

 

[Markhor]

Spinners have lost the game for MS.

 

[NeVerMind]

Rizwan captaincy deficiency exposed. Need to be vocal and more confident.

What? Do a Saf?

 

[Coolcapri]

MS looks they themselves don't believe they can win this game. need a spark from somewhere.
Simply need wickets.

 

[Mir jibran]

Afridi needs to call it a day now

 

[Cric1234]

Babar getting freebies won’t be as easy against better bowling.

 

[silentkiller187]

Are we watching the same game? Sharjeel looked horrible against the moving ball. It’s a miracle he not only survived but had two edges go for four, embellishing his strike rate.

Even in his century knock he played some good shots, but there was too many drop catches inside edges overall did not look in control. He wouldn’t survive like that on the international stage.

 

[Omer2002]

I am sure when multan were 110 for 1 aftee 11 overs and i said there was no intent...look at clarke and Babars strike rate

 

[Thunderbolt14]

What happened to Ilyas? He was a good bowler for Multan

Karachi picked him and now keeping him on the bench

 

[Markhor]

Let's be honest this chasing streak is partly due to how poor the bowling teams have been under pressure.

If 190-odd isn't safe, what is ?

 

[silentkiller187]

I am also not fully convinced, But i think pak need to take either sharjeel or fakher and if conditions suits them than throw them in to have a go.

In the long run babar or rizwan would be more suited at 3, but for now I’d have haider Ali ahead of sharjeel.

 

[MHN1293]

Babar trying to be innovative.

 

[Rana]

Proper keeper batsman!

 

[Bewal Express]

Fair enough. I think things will be more clearer by the end of PSL with regards to the direction which the team and squad should go with leading upto the world T0.

Babar needs to open and then work from there.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I am, how was Rizwan convincing against yesterday’s news Mohammad Amir?

Good news is that Rizwan is a keeper. How was Sharjeel in day before yesterday’s news scoring 6(17) in the powerplay

 

[Bewal Express]

Let's be honest this chasing streak is partly due to how poor the bowling teams have been under pressure.

If 190-odd isn't safe, what is ?

Some of the bowling has been good but some of it is club level. I am shocked at how bad the spinners were today.

 

[MHN1293]

Joe clarke preforming in the psl like most other english players.
