Islamabad United [164-6] beat Karachi Kings [161-9] by 4 wickets to win the 1st Eliminator for PSL 4

[MenInG]

So a chance for Karachi Kings to get to the finals but given their form, do they have what it takes to stop Islamabad?

What role will 'home support' play or will it put too much pressure on Karachi?

[GoUgandaCranes]

Ingram doing his thing in front of the team´s home ground will be a memory to cherish for some time to come for the Karachi fans. I get the feeling that he´ll have a say in the match today.

Bhai Sahb i hope you refer back to your this statement again at the end of the match.

I trust your assumptions.

 

[mak36]

Thinking one game ahead, IU have had two close games vs PZ this PSL (with both sides winning one a piece) whilst KK have lost both their games vs PZ this PSL (by fairly comfortable margins too). Something to think about.

 

[mak36]

Usually I would be backing IU in this contest, but their tactics this season have been very odd.

Both sides are also wasting quality spinners in Zafar Gohar and Usama Mir. Such a shame.

 

[mon858]

IslAmabad have a much better side especially with return of alex hales and chris Jordan. Karachi is overly dependent on Ingram and Livingston with Munro not firing at all.

 

[srh]

Have they increase the boundary size? or Karachi is still letting Pakistan down?

Jordan plays for PZ.

 

[mak36]

Yes they have increased.

 

[aukhan]

Karachi better win today.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

or Karachi is still letting Pakistan down?

I am not from Karachi but this is such a poor post. What do you mean by Karachi letting Pakistan down while talking about boundry size? And then yous used 'still' too

 

[MenInG]

 

[RehanG]

Amir Sohail tries so hard to be able to speak in English. Nai andi te na kar.

 

[Pak Warrior]

Supporting IU, but I wont mind seeing Karachi advancing and making things interesting. Hopefully we have another amazing game today. I'm pleasantly surprised to see KK bat first, good luck to both teams.

 

[Pak Warrior]

Amir Sohail tries so hard to be able to speak in English. Nai andi te na kar.

His english seems quite good to me. He speaks with Alot of confidence, and sounds kind of like how the indians sound.

 

[j_kazmi]

Did Ramiz just say Babar Ali instead of Azam?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Very good start from Munro

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hope Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf perform similar to what they did in international cricket.

 

[srh]

Yes they have increased.

awesome.

I am not from Karachi but this is such a poor post. What do you mean by Karachi letting Pakistan down while talking about boundry size? And then yous used 'still' too

the extremely small boundaries in all group matches in Karachi really hurt PSL's brand, nobody was taking the matches seriously anymore

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[srh]

Did Ramiz just say Babar Ali instead of Azam?

he will always have slip of tongue

 

[srh]

damn no commentary on cricinfo

 

[Green Patriot]

Did Ramiz just say Babar Ali instead of Azam?

Yes )

 

[Green Patriot]

Its raining.

Boundaries that is.

 

[Azzurri]

How long are the boundaries today?

 

[ataullah]

Musa speed?

 

[Xoib]

Musa speed?

140-145

 

[Fahdi]

Sami you god damned idiot

 

[Afhan Ali]

Lol
Asif butler

 

[Fahdi]

What is going on with the fielding!

Musa is bowling well though

 

[ExpressPacer]

147 KPH from Musa!!

 

[srh]

what was that Asif?

 

[Kashmirilion]

That was a rapid Yorker by musa

 

[Savak]

Longer boundaries making zilch difference. Have to applaud our Pakistan curators. This is the cricket we want to see with the ball coming on to the bat. Enough Cricket in the UAE

Have they made the boundaries bigger?

 

[srh]

Livingston's 6 was awesome

 

[ARK Rafay]

What a classy shot by Bobby!

BTW how long is the boundary today?

 

[Afhan Ali]

These wickets are very good for batters.
But what bowlers will do on these wickets?

 

[Plumb]

Hopefully all the pitches in future are like these..

 

[Haleem-ul-Hassan]

Damnnn Musa got pummelled

 

[imshally81]

 

[Plumb]

Asif Ali lol...

 

[Fahdi]

Asif aur Sami ne paisay khaye hein kya? ( its a joke no need for a sermon)

 

[Savak]

Islamabad United clearly feeling the pressure here. This is the difference between playing in front of jampacked crowds and empty stadiums

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif Ali leaking boundaries

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shadab bowling like the champion that he is!

 

[Fahdi]

Faheem from the start of the match is bowling from the boundary instead of throwing it normally

 

[Madplayer]

Shadab picks up a wicket. He has bowled well under pressure.

 

[imshally81]

Not out

 

[Green Patriot]

Oh dear that is out.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Good review.

 

[srh]

wah Rumman awesome intelligence

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

KK can now breath a sigh of relief.

 

[imshally81]

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shadab bowled one at 115!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats the scene like at the ground?

 

[Green Patriot]

Come on KK dont ruin the good start.

 

[srh]

Karachi may lose under 6 run rate in last 5 overs

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

It's going to be just like last year. KK will score under 180 and Ronchi will blast the score under 16 overs.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Babar is such a disappointment after powerplay.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Kk score only 55 in last 9 overs

 

[imshally81]

 

[imshally81]

 

[srh]

Babar is such a disappointment after powerplay.

he is a ODI player

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Collapse is strong on this one.

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar gone..

 

[Green Patriot]

It's like they are picking out fielders.

Welldone Musa.

 

[Titan24]

Musa learning fast, has recently developed slow ball as was looking one dimensional in terms of pace variation early in the tournament.

 

[imshally81]

Dunk Gone

 

[kingusama92]

Karachi falling apart.

 

[Plumb]

WTH Karachi

 

[Josh]

Karachi going to lose from here.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Kk deserve to loss

 

[Titan24]

Shadab showing some sharp game sense. Just went to Musa the ball before Iftikhar's wicket and adjusted the field a bit and it was wicket next ball.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Karachi Kings need to be smart here. Look for 180 and u have a match. Dont aim to high, KK has good bowlers they can certainly defend 175 here.

 

[Syed1]

Kings underwhelming as usual.... fourth season in a row. Such a pathetic side. IU will chase this in 16 overs.
