[Asad T]

Where is this aggression with the bat for Shan?

He's compensating

 

[AAli98]

Enjoying this bit of aggression between the 2 captains:

Fantastic aggression from masoood watch the strike rate jump to 95 next game.

 

[FearlessRoar]

It was enjoyable to see Shan Masood's aggression today

 

[The Bald Eagle]

It was enjoyable to see Shan Masood's aggression today

hahah..he is an overactor

 

[Rana]

What a boring match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha threw it away wasn't comfortable at all at the wicket

 

[hitthestump]

And my job is to remind posters of rubbish cricketers like Imad who think they are superstar while they are not fit to tie shoe laces of players like Babar and rizwan.

You wouldn’t teach science to a flat earther.

I would also recommend you don’t waste time explaining cricket to someone who thinks Asif Ali should be captain.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a wasted talent this guy has been so far

Haider Ali

 

[Asad T]

Haider Ali, let's see if he will squander this

 

[Asad T]

Haider Ali already looks tired and out of breath

 

[Rana]

Islamabad choking again

 

[Ahmed216]

Didn't I say yesterday IU side is full of chokers

 

[Rana]

36 runs to get with Faheem, Haider and Imad

 

[Ahmed216]

Only faheem can win this

 

[Asad T]

You know Imad is in bad batting form, when Faheem is promoted ahead of him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rana chaa gaya

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You know Imad is in bad batting form, when Faheem is promoted ahead of him

Perhaps the retirement was a good idea

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haider just needs to knock it around don't need to do anything else

 

[Rana]

Hamza is a beautiful bowler

 

[Rana]

“Ball is close to the glove, confirm ultra edge please”

These umpires are blind

 

[Rana]

Faheem already batting with the tail

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi should make Pollard the captain for the remaining games and play someone else instead of Shan.

He's just on a bad run at the moment needs to grind his way back.

 

[Rana]

One hell of a delivery that

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a top delivery

 

[Asad T]

Ramiz: "Is that a safe tackle?" (when mir saved a boudary),
lad's metaphors are all over the place

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan and misfield aren't far apart

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What an audacious shot that was by Haider

6

 

[Asad T]

Damn that shot from Haider Ali was class
Things he can do when there is no pressure

 

[badsha001]

Monster 6

 

[RidiculousMan]

The special player has roared. He has fire in his eyes

 

[Rana]

Great shot by Haider

He loves smashing Hassan Ali

 

[RidiculousMan]

What an audacious shot that was by Haider

106 Meter Six. Monster!

[Rana]

Shan Masood:

“This is one tournament I have performed”

Performed how? Scoring at a 130 strike rate as an opener with zero six hitting ability? Is that performing?

 

[Cricket Warrior]

 

[PakEngFan]

You wouldn’t teach science to a flat earther.

I would also recommend you don’t waste time explaining cricket to someone who thinks Asif Ali should be captain.

I agree with you. There are other gems from this poster than just Asif Ali bring a captain. Another one zeeshan ashraf is better than rizwan.

A combined bowling and batting performance led Islamabad United to an important five-wicket victory over Karachi Kings in the 24th match of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 9 here at Pindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Set to chase 151, Islamabad United amassed the total for the loss of five wickets and eight balls to spare.

Colin Munro (9) and Alex Hales (18) gave the United a brief flying start before both fell victim to Mir Hamza inside the batting powerplay with 39 runs on the board.

Following early blows, Shadab Khan joined Salman Ali Agha and anchored the run chase with a gritty partnership.

The duo added 58 runs amid their third wicket stand before Blessing Muzarabani got Agha caught behind in the 13th over. He scored 33 off 30 deliveries, laced up with one boundary and a six.

Meanwhile, Shadab Khan stood his ground firm and put together a brief partnership with Azam Khan (9) before both perished in the span of six deliveries as the United slipped to 115/5 in 15.1 overs.

Shadab remained the top-scorer for the United with a 26-ball 34 which featured four boundaries.

Following his dismissal, Haider Ali took the reigns of United’s pursuit and steered his side over the line in the penultimate over with an unbeaten 36-run partnership with Faheem Ashraf, who scored 12 not out.

Haider smashed two boundaries and a six on his way to an unbeaten 26 off 16 deliveries.

Mir Hamza led the bowling attack for Karachi Kings with 3/41 while Muzarabani and Mahmmod took one apiece.

Put into bat first, Karachi Kings registered 150/7 in the allotted 20 overs at the back of a sensible knock by Pollard.

The visitors had a shaky start to their innings as Faheem Ashraf dismissed their captain Shan Masood in the fifth over with 34 runs on the board.

Masood managed 10 off 12 deliveries and hit one boundary.

Faheem struck again in the next over and further dented Karachi Kings’ start as they slipped to 43/2 in 6.4 overs.

Karachi Kings then sustained two more blows to their batting expedition as they lost experienced Shoaib Malik (1) and Mohammad Nawaz (5) inside nine overs with just 49 runs on the board.

Following the debacle, Pollard joined James Vince in the middle and launched an astounding recovery.

The duo batted sensibly and added 58 runs at a brisk rate amid their fifth-wicket partnership, which lasted with Vince’s dismissal in the 14th over.

The Englishman scored an anchoring 29 off 27 deliveries with the help of five boundaries.

Pollard then partnered briefly with Muhammad Irfan Khan before finally perishing in the 18th over.

He remained the top-scorer for Karachi Kings with a sensational 39 off 28 deliveries, hitting three boundaries and as many sixes in the process.

Irfan followed in his footsteps in the next over after a cautious 16. His 13-ball innings featured one boundary and a six.

Left-arm pacer Tymal Mills led the bowling attack for Islamabad United with 3/34, followed by Faheem Ashraf, who bagged two for 16 in his four overs.

Imad Wasim and Hunain Shah shared two wickets between them.
