Islamabad United [151/7] fight back to defeat Multan Sultans [150/8] by 7 wickets

[Titan24]

Shadab Khan dosen't look like 22 year old...c'mmon man

Thats the beauty of the beard. Look at his pics from his debut 3 or so years ago, looked like a highschool student with clean shave. Beard is generally known to make you look older than you are.

 

[shamaan]

Wasim is much better than musa

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan has looked the best batsman on show till now alongside Joe Clarke

 

[Omer2002]

Gohar is pretty average ..

 

[Titan24]

Good stuff from Wasim and a learning curve which will help him immensely in his white ball career.

 

[Suleiman]

No surprises. King Rizwan doing what he does best. Taking the game away from opposition. Dhoni would be proud.

 

[shamaan]

Much better over

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wasim is much better than musa

He is a much better hitter of the ball. Clean striker of the cricket ball. Very similar to Razzaq.

 

[Suleiman]

Thats the beauty of the beard. Look at his pics from his debut 3 or so years ago, looked like a highschool student with clean shave. Beard is generally known to make you look older than you are.

Surprised we even have to explain this. You go from 20 to 30 years old easily with beard.

 

[Titan24]

Thats the biggest 6 of PSL so far!

 

[Energy]

Good comeback by Shadab, thought he was getting manhandled.

 

[Energy]

Thank you Multan for providing some much needed hitting in this year's PSL. Time to see 160+ scores hopefully.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Good stuff from Wasim and a learning curve which will help him immensely in his white ball career.

More excited about his batting potential. Has a very fast bat speed and clears his leg ala Razzler.

 

[shamaan]

Shadab khan good come back

 

[Titan24]

Surprised we even have to explain this. You go from 20 to 30 years old easily with beard.

Not sure about that much but surely enough to make a guy in his teenage or early 20s look like a mid, late 20s guy. However, yes if we consider someone like Shami than the difference with regards to his official age seems more than few years to 10 years as you have mentioned. Pretty intriguing how it works, isnt it.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Hope Zafar comes back in the attack and gets some wickets.

 

[Firebat]

Hoping today is the day we get some big scores. The batting lineups are far far superior to the opposition bowling lineups

 

[Titan24]

More excited about his batting potential. Has a very fast bat speed and clears his leg ala Razzler.

Yes, decent potential there. Not sure how much opportunities he will get with the bat in PSL with IU having batting options from top to bottom. Maybe as a big hitter when required.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Since when is Rambo Sohaib Maqsood's biggest fan boy?

 

[shamaan]

He is a much better hitter of the ball. Clean striker of the cricket ball. Very similar to Razzaq.

I am interested in seeing his batting i havent really watched his batting but i heard razaq rates him highly

 

[TeymurBlake]

GONE. Sohaib Maqsood fails.

What a surprise.

 

[Titan24]

Wahab and Imad really seem to be fond of head and shoulders with their should brush gestures.

 

[Energy]

Wow, what a silly shot by Maqsood.

Him, Fakhar, Sharjeel showing exactly why they are kept away from the national team. Absolute clowns.

 

[Titan24]

GONE. Sohaib Maqsood fails.

What a surprise.

I personally would bat him at 3 over Vince. Vince at 4 to anchor. Maqsood likes batting in top 3 as he showed in domestic cricket with possible field restrictions and harder ball.

 

[shamaan]

142. Kph not bad wicket for wasim

 

[shamaan]

Clueless maqsood no game management

 

[Kroll]

Hoping today is the day we get some big scores. The batting lineups are far far superior to the opposition bowling lineups

Yeah absolutely, but apparently some people don't like it.

 

[Suleiman]

Always sad to see Maqsood fail...

Was so promising early on, now it’s come to this. Nothing has changed in his game sadly. He was mismanaged a lot too tbf. #3 is his spot but we played him at 6 or 7 as slogger lmao

 

[shamaan]

Shadab is different class in the field

 

[TeymurBlake]

I personally would bat him at 3 over Vince. Vince at 4 to anchor. Maqsood likes batting in top 3 as he showed in domestic cricket with possible field restrictions and harder ball.

I think his time to play for Pakistan came and went to be honest. Danish Aziz is probably the better option for Pakistan T20I at No.3.

 

[Titan24]

Yeah absolutely, but apparently some people don't like it.

I personally prefer good contests whether they are high scoring or not. I like high scoring games but equally enjoy low scoring ones if well contested. However, thats just me and its pretty understandable if majority of the people like a lots lf 4s and 6s.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Multan looked set for a 170 score

Would probably end with 150

Even Gower couldn't believe that he was once compared to Inzy

 

[Titan24]

I think his time to play for Pakistan came and went to be honest. Danish Aziz is probably the better option for Pakistan T20I at No.3.

Danish is a mentally strong guy and plays well under pressure so that would be ideal for the position 5 onwards in my opinion. He has good basic traits to be a finisher. The players Pak tried previously in those roles like Umar Akmal, Shoaib Maqsood were never finishers and didnt even had the mind set. Maqsood’s only chance is to be basher in the opening slot or at now 3 where in T20s you needs someone to utilize the powerplay. Maqsood in middle order or lower middle order will again be a disaster and I agree that his time has gone for that numbers.

 

[Titan24]

Multan looked set for a 170 score

Would probably end with 150

They lost a couple of wickets too many. Unless Khushdil, Afridi or Braithwate play a top knock 170ish is looking bleak.

 

[Energy]

Like the Pakistan national team, Rizwan has to score 50% of the team runs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Multan choking

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Like the Pakistan national team, Rizwan has to score 50% of the team runs.

Was just going to say this. What form he is in, Hafeez Babar and Rizwan in form!

 

[shamaan]

Good to see pakistan recognising stars of Pakistan

 

[Kroll]

Stupid interviewing guests in the middle of play.

Also, if they are going to speak in Urdu subtitles should be prepared for the overseas viewers.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Well this game must feel pretty similar to International game for Rizwan.

He is chugging along well and wickets crumbling all around him.

 

[shamaan]

Stupid interviewing guests in the middle of play.

Also, if they are going to speak in Urdu subtitles should be prepared for the overseas viewers.

Why is it stupid!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Yes, decent potential there. Not sure how much opportunities he will get with the bat in PSL with IU having batting options from top to bottom. Maybe as a big hitter when required.

Will probably come before Hasan and Zafar

 

[Kroll]

Why is it stupid!

Isn't it obvious, even there they had to cut away because a wicket had fallen.

 

[Rana]

People’s champ blocked out a complete over in T20 with Carlos Brathwaite standing and watching

Just Rizwan things

 

[Rajdeep]

Has Braithwaite ever done anything with bat apart from that epic WC final knock?

 

[Rafa]

Why Afridi hiding. He must come before Carlos.

 

[shamaan]

Isn't it obvious, even there they had to cut away because a wicket had fallen.

Yeah and they came back to it good to see they are giving expose to future stars

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Multan needs to get rid of some of the hacks.

Players like Khushdil, Sohaib are too inconsistent and will get exposed by international stars. Don't they have proper middle order batsman?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why Afridi hiding. He must come before Carlos.

Age. Doesn't bat much these days.

 

[Rafa]

Has Braithwaite ever done anything with bat apart from that epic WC final knock?

He nearly won the match for his side against NZ during the 2019 WC.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a farce this.

 

[shah_1]

Pakistani batsmen are shambolic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Multan needs to get rid of some of the hacks.

Players like Khushdil, Sohaib are too inconsistent and will get exposed by international stars. Don't they have proper middle order batsman?

Does Pakistan have any?

 

[b.lesner]

If Rizwan opens Pakistan will loose 9 out of 10 matches he needs to bat at 3 for time being reason is he won't get 4 balls against India, Australia and England and he has to be told not to block any ball get 1s and 2s if boundaries aren't available.

 

[Kroll]

Yeah and they came back to it good to see they are giving expose to future stars

It is but not right slap bang in the middle of play. We're here to see the cricket live, not some future karate star.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistani batsmen are shambolic

That is an understatement my man.

 

[shamaan]

Lovely change up

 

[shamaan]

It is but not right slap bang in the middle of play. We're here to see the cricket live, not some future karate star.

It lasted a couple minutes not 20 minutes

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Also, if they are going to speak in Urdu subtitles should be prepared for the overseas viewers.

I'm watching in the US. Haven't heard any Urdu.

 

[Kroll]

It lasted a couple minutes not 20 minutes

We end up missing play. Interview them during the drinks break or innings break.

 

[Kroll]

I'm watching in the US. Haven't heard any Urdu.

Did they not show the interview of that lady?

 

[shamaan]

We end up missing play. Interview them during the drinks break or innings break.

Not much of an issue they been doing that since last psl nothing new i believe

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Did they not show the interview of that lady?

Oh, thought you meant the commentators. I know in Pakistan I believe they have a few overs in Urdu commentary.

 

[Saj]

Strange batting in the last few overs.

Completely slowed down.

 

[Kroll]

Not much of an issue they been doing that since last psl nothing new i believe

It can be annoying if its cut away from play, trying to do many things at once.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I miss the Rawalpindi and Multan wickets.

Karachi and Lahore are usually horrible for T20 cricket. Slow and low making it a snooze fest.

 

[Firebat]

Could we get our first 150 score in PSL 6 at the 3rd time of trying??

 

[Rana]

Not bad bowling by Wasim

 

[Kroll]

Could we get our first 150 score in PSL 6 at the 3rd time of trying??

Its as if they suddenly thought, a big score was incongruent with 1st inns PSL score and slowed down.

 

[Rana]

Well bowled Wasim

Picked up the big wicket of the People’s champ!!!

 

[Titan24]

Beautiful yorker from Wasim

 

[shamaan]

What a beatiful delivery tailing in

 

[Rana]

Just Afridi things

0 (1)

 

[OldWarHorse]

His action suits yorkers...good death bowling prospect

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi should not have played , he is past his prime

 

[Titan24]

I miss the Rawalpindi and Multan wickets.

Karachi and Lahore are usually horrible for T20 cricket. Slow and low making it a snooze fest.

This time around pitch has probably more bounce and pace than what some batsmen are prepared for.

 

[Nasty Naz]

That yorker from Wasim was incredible.

Excellent debut for him.

 

[Hasan123]

Even though I am an IU fan I did want to see some lusty blows from Afridi.
