Islamabad United (163/8) secure a thrilling victory against Multan Sultans (159/9) by two wickets to claim the PSL 9 championship title

[Human786]

53/2 in 7

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good first over by Mills 3 off it

 

[Rana]

Either Shadab or Imad

One has to bowl now

 

[Rana]

Is Khushdil playing?

 

[Asad T]

@Rana concurs, i'm sure

 

[Asad T]

Is Khushdil playing?

Yes, happy heart is in the Multan xi today

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good last 2 overs by IU

 

[Asad T]

last 17 balls, only 12 runs.

 

[Rana]

Excellent bowling by United at the moment

 

[Rana]

Solid bowling by United

 

[Asad T]

Usman stuggling against the short ball. Wonder if he has been found out by the IU analytics team

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Imad will be very useful in Windies conditions, both with the bat and ball, matches won’t be high scoring and pitches are usually damp and slow.

 

[Human786]

pretty lady at 8.3 .... am I the only 1 irritated by Waqar's accent ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan and Usman batting at 100 SR after 20+ balls. Pitch must be tricky

 

[Human786]

61/2 in 9

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Islamabad looks like a much better team on paper.

Multans bowling is pedestrian

 

[RidiculousMan]

Imad will be very useful in Windies conditions, both with the bat and ball, matches won’t be high scoring and pitches are usually damp and slow.

And he has loads of experience of playing there and had decent record recently.

Amir as well.

 

[Human786]

I want to see him do the Osaka run challenge

Do you want to be the Mohsin to Mohsin's son ... 170 good T ?

 

[Rana]

Something big about to happen

 

[emranabbas]

Run a ball won't win you a final

 

[AAli98]

Something big about to happen

Azam khan is squatting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizzy gone

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Tata bye bye Legwan

Failing in the final once again

 

[Human786]

shaheed ho gaya

 

[Rana]

What a choker Rizwan

26 off 26

Should have been out for 0

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Excellent catch by Guppy

 

[Rana]

Azam khan is squatting

And Rizwan on his bike

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Big loss for islamabad

 

[topspin]

Wonderful impact innings of 26 runs from his 26 balls by Rizwan

 

[Rana]

This is the partnership to break

 

[Ali T]

Rizwan out after not the best innings in the world.

 

[Rana]

Solid bowling by Shadab

 

[Human786]

68/3 in 10 - hun ki hoga ?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

ISLU have Mike Hesson in their dugout. These EnZeders are very cunning and know to extract the best out of dimensions/matchups etc. It's how NZ keeps punching above their level of talent.

Not surprised to see how meticulously they are planning and executing against Multan.

Multan have employed Cricviz too I think.
So, I expect a good response from them as well.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan out after not the best innings in the world.

It would have been a world class knock had he only faced HUnAiN and Faheem

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan as a T20 player and opener he has limited skill set and talent. His purple patch seen to be drying out as well.

I don't know if he should be in our national team as an opener specially when we have options like Babar, Saim and Haris.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6

Faheem lol

 

[Asad T]

Islamabad looks like a much better team on paper.

Multans bowling is pedestrian

I think Multan's bowkling is ok -- they have the highest and 2nd highest wicket taker. Willey is also one of the best PP bowlers in the world.
The issue is that IU bat deep, and MS will need a big score

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hunain can't even catch a cold

 

[Rana]

Hunain and Faheem shouldn’t try the short ball play against Usman

They don’t have the pace to trouble him

 

[CerebralPatriot]

This Hunain must be on the SAYA payroll

 

[FearlessRoar]

Injuring are piling up for Islamabad United

Colin Munro walks off the field in setback for Islamabad United

 

[Rana]

Didn’t I say Hunain will drop a catch?

 

[topspin]

What an awful drop

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The fielding in this PSL needs to be really scrutinised as much as possible with the players and make them go through harder and harder drills.

 

[Asad T]

What a rubbish over

Expect Hunain to drop a catch as well in this game

Well done bro, spot on

 

[Rana]

Pretty boy Shah brothers

Can’t catch to save their lives

It will just break their nails

 

[Human786]

lady says crowd itna zabardast hai & guest says it unites the country - what am I missing ? Hunain the butter finger strikes not

 

[Ahmed216]

It's a sluggish pitch but IU spinners have bowled very well

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mr Bean from Nazimabad in da house

 

[Asad T]

The annoying sponsorship promotions and interviews really disturb the flow of commentry

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nazish Jahangir in da house

 

[Human786]

that lady in mask - pretty pretty eyes ...

 

[Ali T]

Anyone see the Mr Bean? haha

 

[Rana]

Usman going for everything now

This is critical

 

[Human786]

that lady in mask - pretty pretty eyes ...

who is she ? 85/3 in 11.3 -OUTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Charles gone

Imad with 3 wickets

 

[Ali T]

Usman doing well in this pressure situation. Good to see !

 

[CerebralPatriot]

The king strikes again

 

[Rana]

Thank God Naseem held on to that

 

[Asad T]

What a stop from Coxx

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Spinners consciously bowling full on this slow pitch with 80 m straight boundary.

 

[Rana]

Usman doing well in this pressure situation. Good to see !

He’s fighting I tell you

 

[RidiculousMan]

PSL will continuously remind me of the wide fielding, athleticism and fitness gap between Pakistani players and overseas.

 

[Savak]

Desperately hoping for a 200 run chase. Hope Usman Khan bashes ruthlessly now.

 

[shah_1]

Usman Khan is a proper tullaybaz, will struggle against high ranked international teams. He has made a good decision by choosing UAE, best for his career $$$.

 

[topspin]

This is a slap in the face for all those who were dissing Imad's average.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a stop from Coxx

This is what you get with overseas players

Common sense and how to field and save runs no matter what

 

[Rana]

Shaddy bowl yourself

Don’t worry about getting hit for 3-4 sixes! This is the game right here for you son!

 

[lazy cricketer]

khushdil aaj dhoka nhi dy gha

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Hopefully the Babar cult learn never to mess with Imad again

Waking up a sleeping lion is the biggest mistake one can make

 

[Rana]

Shaddy making a mistake here bowling out Mills

He needed to save his 2 overs for the last 5

 

[RidiculousMan]

Usman Khan is a proper tullaybaz, will struggle against high ranked international teams. He has made a good decision by choosing UAE, best for his career $$$.

Yep. Reminds me a bit of Mukhtar Ahmed

 

[emranabbas]

kushdil shah another rubbish player

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Hopefully the Babar cult learn never to mess with Imad again

Waking up a sleeping lion is the biggest mistake one can make

When did Babar mess with imad, has I missed something?

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is what you get with overseas players

Common sense and how to field and save runs no matter what

The calculation and body movement they make while making these stops clearly shows they practice and take their fielding as seriously as their batting or bowling.

 

[Ali T]

He’s fighting I tell you

Yeah really.

If memory serves he also did well last year in the knockout stages. Might be totally wrong.

 

[Rana]

Bowl Agha to Khushdil

 

[Asad T]

When did Babar mess with imad, has I missed something?

Babar never selected Imad due to personal issues

 

[topspin]

Shaddy making a mistake here bowling out Mills

He needed to save his 2 overs for the last 5

I agree but perhaps he's going for the kill?
