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

[PakPremi]

Babar youve got your 50 so hole out. We need to see joe coarke soon.

Rather watch Babar sublime batting.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

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.

 

[MHN1293]

Why cant babar loft full tosses properly.

 

[Firebat]

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 )

 

[King_Kohli]

In a matter of 6-7 balls, there's 3 no balls & all 3 were wickets, in PSL. Amazing.

 

[Xoib]

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

 

[MHN1293]

Rather watch Babar sublime batting.

Well get enough of get in odis and test right now u need someone to compliment shajeel.

 

[Rana]

Babar needs to play some cheeky shots. Play some ramps or something

 

[LeedsGreen]

Are you sure?

ugly innings at time and still have my doubts about his ability to play decent bowling ( bowling been beyond awful today)

 

[NeVerMind]

Wasim still impressive...both openers not able to smash him around the ground

 

[shariqnoor]

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.

 

[Rana]

Need a 6 or this over is a waste

 

[shah_1]

Babar is playing a match losing innings haha

 

[Thunderbolt14]

In a matter of 6-7 balls, there's 3 no balls & all 3 were wickets, in PSL. Amazing.

Ultimate Pakistan citizenship starter pack

 

[Rafa]

Might fall short of 200

 

[silentkiller187]

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)

 

[NeVerMind]

Just singles off that over with Wasim finishing with 30 runs off his 4 overs...impressive

 

[Rana]

waste of an over. This Wasim guy isnt anything special but hes bowled better than others

 

[JibranAnsari]

good spell by mohammad wasim. A perfect t20 spell.

 

[castortroy]

This is where the likes of kholi really cut loose

 

[Sunny_majoka]

This imran guy should fix his run up, he can become a world-class

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Babar is playing a match losing innings haha

He’s the reason Sharjeel has so much freedom.

 

[Titan24]

Another day and another emerging pacer outperforms his team mates. Good stuff

 

[Major]

If SHadab bowls with himself in the last few overs, I am done with him

 

[NeVerMind]

100 for Sharjeel... respect

 

[shamaan]

Good over by Wasim

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 in 55 balls.

great innings by sharjeel

 

[silentkiller187]

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

 

[castortroy]

Sharjeel and Fakhar would be an interesting opening pair in T20

 

[Rana]

To those people who unneccesarily brought in Rizwan into this. This hundred is for you!

Now try your agenda on Babar Azam!

 

[Major]

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

 

[Titan24]

100 for Sharjeel. Will this book his berth in Pak team bus?

 

[world cup captain]

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.

 

[shah_1]

He’s the reason Sharjeel has so much freedom.

You are wrong

 

[Rana]

go for 150 Sharjeel!

 

[JibranAnsari]

sharjeel , last 38 balls. 95 runs

 

[shamaan]

100 by sharjeel brillant innings over hitting at its best

 

[KingKhan12]

Take a bow Sharjeel. Haters make more excuses. He is a must in limited overs.

 

[Darkrai]

What a crap inning by Babar

 

[Rafa]

61 in 50 balls is a very ordinary innings.

 

[Titan24]

Sharjeel has literally scored 91 off his last 35 balls if I am not wrong

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Babars gonna loose it for KK

 

[MHN1293]

Faheem at the death getting tonked. Well done sharjell on 100.

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi should look to get 200 plus here

 

[Rana]

Sharjeel Stand on middle or off stump buddy!

 

[shah_1]

Babar )

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar should do some power hitting in the nets ala Hafeez...even Rizwan has been doing the same

 

[world cup captain]

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.

 

[Justcrazy]

173

15 balls to go , need to smash 30 runs more here

 

[King_Kohli]

What a crap inning by Babar

Crap?
Lol.. He is playing anchor role.
It was he who scored initially when Sharjeel struggling to connect the ball.

 

[Titan24]

Faheem is looking much better and pacier than he did against SA

 

[shah_1]

Babar should leave the ball and get bowled

Best for the team

 

[Rana]

Whats wrong with Babar. He cant clear them, why not try to caress them or paddle them instead?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

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.

 

[Darkrai]

Does babar even try to hit in air?

 

[MHN1293]

Atleast babar wont have the abchoring excuse if karachi lose today.

 

[Major]

DOnt see SHarjeel making it into the Paksitani team, he can batt all he wants here

 

[King_Kohli]

Dropped a Sitter.

 

[NeVerMind]

Another full toss...Babar hits it straight to Hales who drops it again

 

[Extra_Cover]

Sharjeel has blunted the bowlers to all park

 

[MRSN]

Lolz Baber badly wanted to get out and KK didn't want him to get out

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Did Babar just run himself out for the team?

 

[castortroy]

Babar really needs to work on his power game

 

[shah_1]

Babar should leave the ball and get bowled

Best for the team

Babar ran himself out

 

[Darkrai]

Everytime babar hits in air he gets caught lol

 

[Titan24]

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

 

[Extra_Cover]

Comedy of errors here, Babar voluntarily gets run out after sitter dropped from Hales again.

 

[hitthestump]

Whats wrong with Babar. He cant clear them, why not try to caress them or paddle them instead?

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.

 

[NeVerMind]

Just bowl full toses to Babar and hope you have better fielders than today...didn't even realise he ran himself out

 

[world cup captain]

ISLU keeps dropping him and Babar runs himself out. Comical.))

 

[Titan24]

Hales having a poor time on the field.

 

[Rana]

This is the T20 captain of pakistan

check out the VC with his review.

Misbah has truly made a mess of our structure!

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar run out , hilarious )

 

[shamaan]

Sharjeel has to continue performing in this tournament for him to get back in the pakistan team.

 

[NeVerMind]

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

Exactly what I said...I believe Rizwan has been doing the same which explains his transformation

 

[ex-q-zit]

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.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

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.

 

[Rana]

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

Golf maybe

 

[shamaan]

Strike rate of 114 is not good enough

 

[King_Kohli]

Babar Azam Run Out!!
Lol that was horrible.
