Islamabad United [197/5] defeat Karachi Kings [196/3] by 5 wickets in PSL6 thriller

Sharjeel is middling the ball with his helmet more than his bat against pace. Should try to bat at #4 rather than open the batting.

Agreed. Seems pretty decent at the death too. Can do a very decent job at 4/5 I just wish he was a better fielder.
 
Sharjeel was 7 from 18 balls. He's been dropped by Hales and out on a no-ball.

He is about to hit a century at nearly 200 S/R. Amazing, he can do no wrong :)))
 
In a matter of 6-7 balls, there's 3 no balls & all 3 were wickets, in PSL. Amazing.
 
Loving this guy talking about starting a organisation and programme in Pakistan for down syndrome affected children..
My class mate
We were taming the mickey out. Of him on our friends WhatsApp group on his interview
 
Babar needs to play some cheeky shots. Play some ramps or something
 
Being 0 out, Karachi should really be around 180 by now. Hardly do we see a Pakistani team scoring 230-240 in a T20. Even now, KK would probably end with up 200 only.
 
Pak top 3 for the world cup t20

Sharjeel/ Fakhar (depends who has he better psl)
Rizwan
Babar (makeshift opener at best, not strong enough to muscle the ball)
 
Just singles off that over with Wasim finishing with 30 runs off his 4 overs...impressive
 
waste of an over. This Wasim guy isnt anything special but hes bowled better than others
 
Another day and another emerging pacer outperforms his team mates. Good stuff
 
If SHadab bowls with himself in the last few overs, I am done with him
 
This is the point i was making about sharjeel at the start, he wasted 3 overs imagine if he was batting like this from the start, yet we have a team with 0 wickets down player witha 100 yet they may struggle to cross 200 in a t20
 
To those people who unneccesarily brought in Rizwan into this. This hundred is for you!

Now try your agenda on Babar Azam!
 
Zafar Gohar did nothing bad. He had a catch dropped that went for six. He creted pressure. Should had got the third over at the time
 
100 for Sharjeel. Will this book his berth in Pak team bus?
 
Agreed. Seems pretty decent at the death too. Can do a very decent job at 4/5 I just wish he was a better fielder.

He has great ability but lacks determination. The three years he had off could and should have transformed him but instead, he put on more weight. Although he has his issues against pace outside off stump, he could try to nullify it by rotating against pacers but his weight prohibits that. With the majority of Pakistani players, it's a matter of what could have been.
 
Sharjeel has literally scored 91 off his last 35 balls if I am not wrong
 
Babar should do some power hitting in the nets ala Hafeez...even Rizwan has been doing the same
 
Shadab's captaincy was perfect in the powerplay, only after that, he faltered away. He should have brought on Ifti and kept pace on the other end seeing how badly Sharjeel was struggling. Hopefully, he will learn from this experience.
 
Faheem is looking much better and pacier than he did against SA
 
Whats wrong with Babar. He cant clear them, why not try to caress them or paddle them instead?
 
You are wrong

Babar’s definitely playing very slowly and should hit out or get out now. However his contribution in this match should not be forgotten. He was 27(12) when Sharjeel was 4(12) or 11(20) and gave Sharjeel the freedom to bat without scoreboard pressure.
 
DOnt see SHarjeel making it into the Paksitani team, he can batt all he wants here :))
 
Lolz Baber badly wanted to get out and KK didn't want him to get out
 
Babar needs to work a bit with Hafeez in the nets regarding getting those sixes with timing. He has definitely got the potential to add that in his weaponry as well
 
Comedy of errors here, Babar voluntarily gets run out after sitter dropped from Hales again.

He's trying to do something he isn't known for. Could be the match instructions to just try hit every ball for 6 from here, but Babar is clearly better off trying something else.
 
Just bowl full toses to Babar and hope you have better fielders than today...didn't even realise he ran himself out
 
This is the T20 captain of pakistan

check out the VC with his review.

Misbah has truly made a mess of our structure!
 
Sharjeel has to continue performing in this tournament for him to get back in the pakistan team.

Exactly what I said...I believe Rizwan has been doing the same which explains his transformation
 
Babar Azam is a single gear player. He has played until 18 overs and his strike rate is still under 120. this is where the likes of Kohli, smith and Kane differ from him. They can accelerate at will unlike babar who struggles to score at rates above 150.
 
Is it just me or is this game very fishy? Hales dropped two sitters and Sharjeel had a very uncharacteristic start to the innings. I don’t think I’ve seen 11(20) in my life in any franchise league.
