Auckland Aces will feature likes of Azhar Mehmood,Martin Guptill ,Kyle Mills

Hamshire Royals their Squad if featuring Shahid Afridi from Pakistan.

 

[Mobashir]

Hampshire will have to win, so Sialkot have any chance to qualify for the Champions league.

But Hampshire's squad is not looking strong at all, batting is ok, but their bowling is pretty poor especially with Danny Brigs missing.

I hope will fire and come back in form!

[dhump]

Afridi padded up seems like he will come up early.

 

[usman7]

"We're not expecting a whole lot from him with the bat, whatever we get is a bonus but we know he can do it if he has to. We will use him more as a bowler who can bat a bit."
Dimitri Mascarenhas on Shahid Afridi

^^^ Big LOL

good 2nd over from Michael Bate.

[style_guru]

Wait what? This guy is playing for both teams?

Both are different players.

 

[dhump]

Wait what? This guy is playing for both teams?

Yeah one is a keeper though.

 

[dhump]

Afridi to face his first ball.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Afridi to face now

 

[shahidafridi123]

Afridi didn't get a golden duck!

 

[dhump]

no missed the ball.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Afridi

 

[shahidafridi123]

Afridi duck

 

[dhump]

on 0 Afridi

 

[BaaliSoda]

Azhar is bowling very well.

Afridi gone

 

[shahidafridi123]

lol )

 

[supersix]

Excellent innings at least it was not a first ball duck..

 

[Asif321]

lmao another duck wth

 

[Love Pakistan]

Afridi gives all his fans whats expected of him. A duck.

 

[dhump]

what horrible form.

 

[NeVerMind]

Azhar showing why he should have been selected in the sqaud rather than Afridi or Razzaq...

 

[anakwalajinn]

Hampshire has to win if have a chance to qualify

 

[khalil1986]

Afridi is pathetic, should hang up the boots whilst he has some dignity............ Actually that ship sailed a long time ago.

 

[dhump]

Hampshire has to win if have a chance to qualify

seems hard right now.

 

[dhump]

130-135 is par score here.

 

[BaaliSoda]

In the commbox Simon doull is saying some hard words about overseas pros of Hampshire(afridi and maxwell are the players he is alluding to)for playing irresponsible shots.

 

[Senman]

Afridi is competing with Chris Martin better come at 11 and play as bowler.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Carberry despite scoring bulk of Hampshire's score looked way too loose with his technique. Played n missed/edged so many balls(pace as well as spin) he has 30 dot balls out of 57 deliveries that he had faced so far.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hampshire need to score at least 30 runs from the last 2 overs to give any kind of chance for their bowlers to defend.

Hamps also gotta win the game by at least 15 runs margin so that Sialkot will have chance tomorrow.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Azhar continues dominating Hamps batters.

4 wickets and still 3 balls remaining for his quota to get over

 

[BaaliSoda]

Michellle Pfifer for Azhar

Brilliant player

 

[BaaliSoda]

Whoa whadda catch by Lou Vincent in the long on.

superb fielding once again from Auckland players.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hampshire is at least 30 runs short of par score.

122 is the target for Aces.

Hamps need to win this and that too by at least 15 runs margin to stay in the tournament.

 

[dhump]

Good bowling by azhar took 5/24 in 4

 

[mosh101]

Looks like sialkot is going to be knocked out

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

fate depends on hampshire.

 

[GujjarSher]

Sialkot doesn't deserve to go any further really, they were pathetic against Auckland. Also they have an idiot for a captain (Sania Mirza's wife).

 

[GujjarSher]

Also what's with the chubby cheerleaders South Africa?!

 

[mosh101]

Afridi's number on his t-shirt = 0 0 hahahaha ! Bistiiiiiiii

 

[BaaliSoda]

Some painful phainties for Hamps bowlers.

Time for secret weapon Afridi to come and make things difficult for the batters.

 

[leatherface58]

Hilarious reaction from Vincent after getting out. ) what a cool dude!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Azhar's day is only getting better and better.

 

[supersix]

Why did the selectors not consider Azhar for our T20 World Cup team??

 

[BaaliSoda]

Afridi strikes!

Guptill gone but its too late i guess

 

[BaaliSoda]

Azhar is simply unstoppable.

One of the key candidate for man of the tournamnet.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Azhar and Auckland are making a strong statement to the rest of the teams in CLT20 with back to back big wins.

Azhar - whadda player he has been for the Aces. Simply brilliant.

 

[IamIndian]

Sialkot doesn't deserve to go any further really, they were pathetic against Auckland. Also they have an idiot for a captain (Sania Mirza's wife).

"Mr. Sania Mirza!"

 

[NeVerMind]

It's a mystery. Bats and bowls on the seaming pitches of England and India when he was playing in the IPL. All those T20 teams around the world wanting him bar Pakistan. I have been calling for his exclusion for a while now. Shame he was left out of the T20 World Cup.
