Islamabad United (169/3) secure a convincing 7-wicket victory over Karachi Kings (165/5) in Match 15 of PSL 9

most dull match of the psl so far
polly is probably due for a failure today
 
Karachi don't really have much batting after this, so they can't afford to go guns blazing yet
 
Azam keeping well

Big pressure now on Rizwan misuser of power
 
What a soft cricketer

Pakistan wasted 4 years on this player who was preferred over Imad
 
Rehan ul Haq and Haider Azhar fighting in dug out

They should be in laboratories not on cricket fields!
 
The need to target Raees, others will be harder to hit
 
Haider Azhar was once banned or fined before as well for something he did in the dug out. Once again seen visible on camera fighting with IU management for substitute fielder…

How is this guy allowed to act like he is Jose Morinhou or something? Cricket is a gentleman’s sport, not cakes acting like they are football managers
 
only 2 runs from the 16th over
really poor batting
 
Rumman is bowling poorly

Does this guy even play any FC/List A cricket?
 
Watching Azam dive always cracks me up. also probably cracks the ground up
 
Islamabad as usual

Can’t concentrate on playing good cricket for a sustained amount of time
 
Raees the guy who bowled beautifully against England in Cardiff 2017

Very sad to see him become this poor
 
Too little too late

Too many extras from Hunanin at this stage of the game
otherwise he had bowled really well
 
Didnt look very bad on the replay tbh but you have to call for the catch
 
From this angle it looks the the physio is about to eat Shadab for dinner

Where have we seen this before?
 
Turns out Pollard wasn’t the worst ever first Platinum pick in the league’s history

He’s the only one keeping them afloat at the moment

He still has some juice left in him. Will continue to play for a couple more years I feel.

Yes he's scared of an unfit guy who averages 4 in international cricket at a staggering SR of 90

But Azam is clearly a better T20 batsman than Rizwan. This is not even up for debate. For the positions and roles they have, Azam is good…Rizwan isn’t.

He is very risky around women. I remember once he went into the cheerleaders somewhere and was dancing with them

Azam Khan looks so out of depth at international level. He's not fit to tie Rizwan's shoelaces. And he will never be considered for national selection ahead of Rizwan. Live with that

As Amir said

‘4 saal mazzey kiye…”

Give him time, just like you gave time to Rizwan. He will come good.
 
Just checked Youtube. Danny once did a pitch report with a cheerleader on his shoulders
 
IU has such a long batting line up, if they lose today then certainly they deserve to go out too.
 
Hamza getting wiped out here

Was bowling well outside of Karachi
 
Karachi will need to bowl economically if they want any chance to win today. But so far IU continue to dominate

Proper batting wicket made to look like a landmine by Karachi
 
What’s the new core they are building after removing Amir, Sharjeel and Imad?

Malik
Nawaz
Shan
Hassan Ali

And after Pollard retires, they will pick up emerging middle order specialist, Abdullah Shafique

Would like a reset if possible with no players retained. Karachi don’t have a core they just have discarded players as they gave away their players for next to nothing.

It’s very difficult for teams at the bottom to compete in future years right now as the good players are retained. And it’s usually the same players dominating every year who also get retained.

Quetta lucked out a bit as they got players like Amir and Rilee who usually would have been retained or at least traded for better players.
 
Crowd can play a huge factor when it comes to the excitement of a match. Once again Karachi disappoints , Lahore was packed even during a neutral game. What is the reason for Karachi people not attending games. It’s not the first time this has happened

Can’t blame the fans. Karachi has been such a disappointment over all PSLs it’s unreal. Even when they won during covid I thought they were a bit lucky. And they started with the strongest squad on paper in PSL 1, it should have set them up for an advantage.

I think a lot of their failure as a franchise can be attributed to Mickey Arthur. He did a terrible job with the strongest squads. The rest are just picking up the pieces after that.

Yeah it's very hard to average 4 in the middle order. I am sure even Chris martin would have done better than fat Azam Khan.

Ask your coward Idol to come and bat in the middle where he should

Not hide in the powerplay eating up deliveries and waiting for easy leg side balls
 
United doing the kind of chawlain that have been the reason for their downfall in the past
 
I’m sensing another Islamabad stinker here

Shamsi gets one more and you never know

He's not my idol for a start. I can guarantee you where ever he plays he will average more than 4 lol. Btw another duck for your idol Imad lol can't even score his customary 1 off 4 balls anymore.
