Islamabad United (183/8) beat Quetta Gladiators (179/6) by 2 wickets in Match 21 of PSL8

[boomboomcheema]

Bring Back Umar Akmal into the National T20 Side.

 

[Rana]

43 off 14

Guys line Shan Masood, Babar and Rizwan can’t score that in their dreams

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXXX

Umar finishes with a bang , 43 from 14 balls !!!

 

[Ahmed216]

Faheem Ashraf is such a lousy cricketer.

How on earth has he played so many times for Pakistan.

The same can be said about so many others. There's just not enough quality coming through in recent years.

 

[Ali Active]

Umar akmal batting brings back childhood

 

[Rana]

How was this guy not being allowed to play first team cricket for central Punjab??

 

[Stronguess]

Mubasir GUN fielder

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Elite cricket. Very well done Akmal Jr.

 

[PakEngFan]

Proper halwa bowling.

 

[NeVerMind]

The same can be said about so many others. There's just not enough quality coming through in recent years.

I mentioned this yesterday...we have gone from the top tier of all rounders like Afraid, Razzaq and Azhar to the middle tier of Hafeez and Malik and now the bottom of the barrel 'talunt' with the likes of Faheem, Khushdil and Chacha Ifti...

 

[Saj]

Umar Akmal's innings today:

6 1 6 4 . 6 1 1 6 . 4 . 2 6

43 runs
14 balls
5 sixes
2 fours
Strike-rate 307.14

 

[PakEngFan]

How was this guy not being allowed to play first team cricket for central Punjab??

Because he was scoring ducks for fun in the 2nd 11.

 

[JibranAnsari]

5 sixers by akmal. Some great hits , the first six was amazing.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

43 of 14. Wow.

 

[Stronguess]

respectable total after that collapse

 

[NeVerMind]

Bring Back Umar Akmal into the National T20 Side.

No matter what he does, Umar ain't getting back to the national squad with Mickey Arthur returning as the coach, even if it's virtual...Umar made sure he burned that bridge with his stupid outbursts years ago...

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta have batted well , they were in complete disaray at one point of time 4 down for just 17

 

[Justcrazy]

No matter what he does, Umar ain't getting back to the national squad with Mickey Arthur returning as the coscht, even if it's virtual...Umar maked sure he burned that bridge with his stupid outbursts years ago...

He should not , he has been given enough chances. You need to do justice and give others fair chance as well.

 

[Rana]

Umar Akmal would have been perfect opener in OD and 20 20 for Pakistan. The kind of shots he played against pace was exceptional. Sadly , he was lazy

No!

Sadly we lack vision! He still would be a much more destructive opener than Babar and Rizwan

 

[MenInG]

 

[Saj]

Quetta Gladiators:

52/4 after 10 overs
179/6 after 20 overs

127/2 in the last 10 overs

 

[Rana]

What has happened to Bazid Khan’s voice? He seems depressed

Is it because of Umar Akmal onslaught???

 

[Justcrazy]

IU have very strong hitters in there line up.

 

[Rana]

World class Yorker by Naseem

 

[Saj]

What has happened to Bazid Khan’s voice? He seems depressed

Is it because of Umar Akmal onslaught???

Pretty clear which teams the comms like and dislike.

 

[Rana]

Smash this arrogant Naseem!!

 

[Rana]

Please share the video of that 5 wides by Naseem. What a ball that was

 

[JibranAnsari]

What makes sarfraz think that odean smith is an opening bowler?

 

[Rana]

Odeon Smith bowling like odeon cinema

 

[JibranAnsari]

Please share the video of that 5 wides by Naseem. What a ball that was

Yah excessive late swing

 

[MenInG]

 

[Mankaded]

What makes sarfraz think that odean smith is an opening bowler?

He isn't much of a middle overs or death bowler either but yeah would at least have more protection after the PP,

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amazing delivery

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good speeds

 

[Marooned]

Munro clueless vs Naseem.

 

[Rana]

Pitch it up Naseem you too scared??

 

[Saj]

QG really missing an in-form and firing Hasnain in this tournament.

 

[Marooned]

Great bowling Naseem. Pity queta have absolute dross like smith in support

 

[Marooned]

Umaid Asif, Naveen Odean Smith all so incredibly below average boring bowlers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a terrible bowling line up

 

[Darkrai]

Pitch it up Naseem you too scared??

Thought you were one of Naseem's big fans

 

[Darkrai]

Should be an easy win for United.

 

[Rana]

The fraud is back at 4

 

[Ahmed216]

Smash this arrogant Naseem!!

Now what’s wrong with him? He’s very good I think

 

[PakPremi]

Quetta missing Hasnain. Hales keeps hetting dismissed on slower balls.

 

[Marooned]

The fraud is back at 4

Isn't a fraud.

His 20 ball 50 was the best innings of t20wc by a Pakistani.

 

[Darkrai]

Shadab needs to score big

 

[Marooned]

Naveen is the kind of bowler who is so bad he confuses you.

 

[Ahmed216]

Quetta missing Hasnain. Hales keeps hetting dismissed on slower balls.

Yep. Strangely he’s always late on the slower ones. Remember his dismissal off rumman raees in CT Semis 2017

 

[boomboomcheema]

Odean Smith is in a hurry to kill the contest for Quetta.

 

[Marooned]

Wow howww can you play this dross named odean Smith?

Or naveen for that matter.

There are probably 50 better pakistani bowlers than these 2.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab plays better on pitches with good pace and bounce

 

[Marooned]

Shadab plays better on pitches with good pace and bounce

True that

Very good player of spin too

 

[PakPremi]

Odean is the silliest bowler of all bowlers in PSL. Keep bowling wrong lines, lengths, bounce. Odean always putting on a show for the batters with his big screen.

 

[Ahmed216]

You know pitch is a road when old Umar smokes 43 off 14

 

[Saj]

Ifti being smashed to all parts.

The finisher, finishing his team's chances.

 

[Rana]

Fraud gone

 

[PakPremi]

Iftikhar and Sarfraz should stop playing PSL, let youngester take over.

 

[Justcrazy]

United need 84 runs in 78 balls.

 

[Rana]

Agenda to stop Azam Khan from performing and making a name for himself is on!

The Dosti Yaari boys scratching each other’s backs!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Munro is looking in great touch , he should look to stay there for few more over.

 

[Babri]

Why not bring on Nawaz earlier in powerplay when Munro was going berserk.

 

[PakPremi]

Big Daddy is here to destroy the kids bowling.

 

[Ahmed216]

Agenda to stop Azam Khan from performing and making a name for himself is on!

The Dosti Yaari boys scratching each other’s backs!!

You are getting carried away by performances in the PSL. We’ve seen how PSL superstars like asif Ali can flop badly at the top level

 

[Saj]

Shadab averaging 7 at PSL 8 yet keeps coming at number 4.

 

[Justcrazy]

United need 78 runs in 68 balls.

 

[Rana]

Tuk Tuk Mubasir out

 

[Champ_Pal]

Terrible shot to play.

 

[Ahmed216]

Stupid batting from Mubasir. Sad to see ordinary youngsters like him hailed as prospective Pak players

 

[Rana]

Needed to bring Naseem back on now

 

[Major]

ISb threw away its wickets, being overly aggressive for no reason.

Munro, Shadab and Mubasir played wild shots when they were not needed.

 

[AAli98]

Still none the wiser after this psl asif Ifty Masood Kushdil shadab faheem are pathetic batsmen.

Thank god for Rizwan’s & babas 110 s/r batting otherwise Pak won’t cross 115

 

[imshally81]

Good bowling by Quetta

 

[adzzy786]

Please don’t tell me your username is based on Asif Ali

 

[Justcrazy]

United need 58 runs in 40 balls.


Azam needs to stay till end

 

[PakPremi]

Good to see Azam not turning himself into mindless slogger like Asif Ali, but play on merit with huge ability to explode when needed.

 

[Ahmed216]

Test for him today with side under pressure

 

[Justcrazy]

One big over required here

 

[Rana]

IU making a mess of this

 

[PakPremi]

Test for him today with side under pressure

Its nearly time for the Red Hulk to get angry and blast few.
