Islamabad United (243/5) hand a crushing defeat to Peshawar Zalmi (141) by 102 runs in match 5 of PSL X

[Rana]

PZ and MS are defo the 2 weakest teams this time. The other sides are filled with League superstars .

The likes of Azam are crap in international but Solid league players. Babar handicaps his side as he's not a T20 batter.

PZ need to remove Babar and open with Owen

They will compete

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Azam gone off a full toss for 16 off 10

 

[Rana]

Soft dismissal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well he did previously so......

You have to stay in the present

 

[Asad T]

Azam gone off a full toss for 16 off 10

135k full toss on the legs at that

 

[Rana]

Guys lost his balance. Too much weight gain will start to affect his shape at the crease

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Soft dismissal

Very

But it's Jason Holder who's in now

 

[Nasty Naz]

Azam Khan getting out to Talat on a flat pindi pitch on a full toss.

Just not a good enough player even if you overlook his weight issues.

 

[m.shah]

Azam Khan should be dropped from this team.

 

[Rana]

Oh no please get fit we don’t want Rizwan back as captain!

 

[Asad T]

Guys lost his balance. Too much weight gain will start to affect his shape at the crease

and more importantly, it will affect his balance and shape behind the stumps

 

[Rana]

If PZ lose this heavily, their NRR will be close to impossible to save them in the tournament

 

[m.shah]

Hussain Talat is good utility player. He should be given chance

 

[Rana]

and more importantly, it will affect his balance and shape behind the stumps

Before his keeping flaws could have been overlooked as long he looks to add impetus in the middle. You needed batters like that considering the rubbish we have seen.

But I don’t want him going down the Umar Akmal route. He lost his guile with the weight he put on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha smashed a 6

 

[m.shah]

Auzzies fielding like Pakistanis in Pakistan

 

[Rana]

At least 240

250 would be nice

 

[Deewana Mastana]

214

2 overs left

 

[Rana]

Hell of a shot Agha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar clapping as he's gonna score a 100 off 35

 

[RidiculousMan]

Salman one of those rare Pakistani batters who don't look at mid wicket slog when it's time to hit a boundary.

 

[cricfan432]

I dont think saad masood will get batting time in this tournament with this lineup

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha gone

 

[mominsaigol]

Hell of a shot Agha

I've always liked Agha. You can tell from body language how a player is going to perform in international.

1) Fakhar: nervous for the first 5 to 6 overs, then gets in the groove.

2) Saim: Same as fakhar, these 2 are eerily similar although saim has more potential due to age.

3) Babar: Completly timid against spin, tbf he's very confident against pace. He has struggled though in recent times.

 

[Rana]

Clown 3rd umpire in action again

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s national T20 cup champion

Might as well let him captain Zalmi

 

[mominsaigol]

Salman one of those rare Pakistani batters who don't look at mid wicket slog when it's time to hit a boundary.

Gem of a cricketer. Liked him the moment he came onto the scene.

Wish he would improve his bowling though, but tbf, he easily makes the side in terms of batting.

Atleast we don't have to see any more chacha's, Nawaz's, Shadab's, Usama Mir's in odi/ test cricket due to Agha.

 

[Rana]

Below 240 and Zalmi are right in this.

 

[Rana]

Omg what a legend

 

[Darkrai]

Babar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar still clapping after dropping a sitter

 

[Deewana Mastana]

PZ ain't chasing this are they

 

[Asad T]

oops

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar still clapping after dropping a sitter

He did this multiple times during the England test series.

I remember him dropping root 3x.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ali gets away with that

 

[Rana]

Muhammad Ali ain’t the same guy without Rizwan behind the stumps

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He did this multiple times during the England test series.

I remember him dropping root 3x.

Not just then he does this everytime nothing new

 

[mominsaigol]

Below 240 and Zalmi are right in this.

Naw mainly cause

A) Their playing with Bobby who's completely out of form

B) Saim who's just returned and will take some time to get back in the zone.

C) Tom Cadmore

D) Babar sahib thinks it's a good idea to bat Ownes at no 7 in a 240 chase.

Too much depends on Muhammad haris, A returning saim and ownes who will most likely come in when the game is already lost.

 

[Asad T]

Only way Peshawar has a chance is if Babar doesn't open

Saim
Owens
Haris
TKC
Babar

 

[Rana]

Good score

Will take a blinder of an innings by one player at least to get close

 

[Energy]

Zalmi are a weak bowling unit this year and will expose Babar as skipper quite alarmingly, unfortunately.

 

[mominsaigol]

Only way Peshawar has a chance is if Babar doesn't open

Saim
Owens
Haris
TKC
Babar

Today is the day of the King. Hakuna Matatta

 

[Sycamore]

Why are zalmi high fiving?

 

[Rana]

Bobby at best will score a 60 ball ton…so he will turn a required rate of 12 to 15


Harris or Saim have to play a blinder

 

[Nasty Naz]

244... on this ground that is still very doable.

Will Babar finally get some runs on this ultra flat pitch?

 

[aqibcric]

Welll played Islamabad

 

[mango_bite77]

Bobby at best will score a 60 ball ton…so he will turn a required rate of 12 to 15


Harris or Saim have to play a blinder

Expecting haris to score 15(5) and get out

 

[Rana]

Why are zalmi high fiving?

Gotta stay positive

 

[Rana]

Expecting haris to score 15(5) and get out

Well, he’s gotta try

 

[Barragan]

You have to stay in the present

He has the same weight.....

 

[Barragan]

Only way Peshawar has a chance is if Babar doesn't open

Saim
Owens
Haris
TKC
Babar

TKC is trash

Babar is better than him

 

[Rana]

Saim
Harris
Owen
TKC
Linde
Talat

They can do it

 

[aqibcric]

WILL ZALMI CHASE DOWN THIS TARGET NEVER EVER

 

[Cricket Warrior]

WILL ZALMI CHASE DOWN THIS TARGET NEVER EVER

and the answer is "NO"

 

[aqibcric]

BAABR WILL BAT TOO SLOW ON THIS PITCH

 

[aqibcric]

and the answer is "NO"

EXACTLY WITH THE BABAR MINDSET AND APPROACH IT WILL DECIDE

 

[Rana]

Somehow try to maintain that -4.00 nrr

 

[aqibcric]

SAIM AYUB AND HARIS AND TKC WILL BE THE KEY THERE

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Why are zalmi high fiving?

celebrating that they will reach their hotel early tonight

 

[aqibcric]

Somehow try to maintain that -4.00 nrr

HAHHAHHAH

 

[Rana]

Naseem Shah was showing no real appreciation to Sahibzada when he came back into the dug oit

This is a big slap on his nexus mates

 

[aqibcric]

celebrating that they will reach their hotel early tonight

HOW MANY RUNS BAABAR WILL SCORE

 

[aqibcric]

Naseem Shah was showing no real appreciation to Sahibzada when he came back into the dug oit

This is a big slap on his nexus mates

CLOWN

 

[Rana]

Purposely not showing Babar’s sr are the PSL graphics team?

 

[aqibcric]

WHO WILL TAKE MOST WICKETS IN THE MATCH

 

[aqibcric]

Bakwas review

 

[aqibcric]

SAIM WILL BE THE TOP SCORERE FROM ZALMI

Naseem kya ajeeb review

 

[Rana]

What a take by Azam

 

[aqibcric]

Naseem shah bowling ajeeb

 

[Hellion]

Great athletic take by Azam. Most athletic fatty in cricket

 

[Rana]

Great athletic take by Azam. Most athletic fatty in cricket

That was going right into the shin of Holder otherwise

 

[aqibcric]

Azam sharp

 

[Hellion]

You need Abhishek Sharma level striking to chase down 245. Can Saim do it?

 

[Darkrai]

Great start

 

[jamie smith fan]

Easy win loading for iu.

 

[Rana]

Thanks for coming king

 

[aqibcric]

BABAR AZAM

 

[Rana]

Please officially retire from T20is

 

[kingusama92]

Babar not even giving his fans enough content for reels anymore.
