Islamabad United beat Lahore Qalandars by five wickets in the opening match of PSL 2019

[QalandarFan]

Well done on running that second.

 

[Plumb]

Yes and this has only happened once. How many times has Sarfraz “gave others a chance” by batting himself at 7/8 now?

2 times in T20 while captain.

 

[Anchorman]

All things considered, you'd have to say United will be the happier of the two sides going into the break.

At 130-1 with 7 overs to go, they should've been looking at a 200+ total.

 

[Markhor]

Never thought I'd say this...but Rahat should've been batting higher up the order at 9.

 

[QalandarFan]

2 times in T20 while captain.

Yes talk about T20’s because we have a World Cup in that format in 3 months right?

 

[Anchorman]

Never thought I'd say this...but Rahat should've been batting higher up the order at 9.

Of all the things to complain about.. )

And of course, I agree. Can't miss the chance to watch a living legend in action.

 

[fluke]

I still feel Lahore have a chance to win this match. They have a decent bowling attack

 

[Plumb]

Yes talk about T20’s because we have a World Cup in that format in 3 months right?

4 times while captain in ODI for 2 years...

 

[Anchorman]

Eager to see Salt in action. Heard so much about him, and he could be the surprise package in this PSL.

 

[Plumb]

I still feel Lahore have a chance to win this match. They have a decent bowling attack

nope... pitch is flat and Ronchi will continue where he left off... everyone 'll make fun of ISB and this year also they ll flyaway with the Cup

 

[fluke]

lets hope so

 

[Titan24]

Both emerging players, Rizwan Hussain and Haris Rauf will be on display in this innings.

 

[QalandarFan]

4 times while captain in ODI for 2 years...

Lmao 4 times he’s batted at below 6? Why don’t you go check that again.

P.S go look at his record in the same period. Also how many times has he not batted at all.

 

[Greenstorm]

Can't wait to see Rizwan's batting and Harris Rauf bowling 145+.

 

[saeed5646]

Can't wait to see Rizwan's batting and Harris Rauf bowling 145+.

Same
But i doubt they will open with rauf.he will bowl fifth over with first four of shaheen and rahat

 

[SensiblePakFan]

All the people saying IU wont win this year, they are known for their slow starts. lol
And lahore is known for their batting collapses, so its business as usual

 

[Markhor]

AB giving the pep talk for LQ.

 

[fluke]

I am more keen of watching Rizwan instead of anyone else in this PSL hope we will find another sharjeel khan in him

 

[xricket]

AB giving the pep talk for LQ.

Talk about making it easy for those who cant understand english

 

[Markhor]

Young Rizwan Hussain will be giving a stern test by Shaheen.

 

[Markhor]

Talk about making it easy for those who cant understand english

Just find it weird given Hafeez is the captain.

 

[Greenstorm]

Ronchi is always in beast mode in PSL.

 

[Markhor]

Rahat not even attempting a dive. Classic fielding effort from him.

 

[Greenstorm]

Who is commentating with Wilkins ?

 

[Greenstorm]

That shot is so Sharjeelesque.

 

[Anchorman]

Fielding masterclass here by the King.

 

[Snowflake]

No way IU is chasing this with THAT line-up!

 

[Rana]

Rabat hahahahaha

 

[Markhor]

Who is commentating with Wilkins ?

Hayden.

 

[Rana]

Ball chasing Rahat hahahahaha

 

[Anchorman]

Jeez, UAE is Ronchi's playground.

 

[Greenstorm]

Ronchi is so underrated. Other leagues take him for granted.

 

[rhony]

Hayden.

Now it is. But earlier there was someone with an asian accent. Wasnt Rameez or Bazid.

 

[Markhor]

Ronchi starting where he left off.

 

[rhony]

Ronchi is so underrated. Other leagues take him for granted.

He likes Pak bowlers or maybe its UAE

 

[rhony]

Great piece of wood in his hands These commies crack me up

 

[xricket]

Those saying Swing needs wet pitch, clouds, should just watch Rahat now

 

[Rana]

Rahat is lost out there

 

[rhony]

Those saying Swing needs wet pitch, clouds, should just watch Rahat now

Swing is in the air

 

[xricket]

Swing is in the air

It's always in the air. Off the pitch is seam lol

 

[Rana]

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

The king ABD didn’t find it as easy as Luke Ronchi, how is it PSL’s fault if Ronchi is a star performer here?

 

[rhony]

Didnt Rahat claim he increased his pace? I still see 133

 

[Greenstorm]

Islu will win this with ease.

 

[xricket]

Didnt Rahat claim he increased his pace? I still see 133

Reserving for world cup?

 

[rhony]

Its just one game for ABD. Kami Akmal and Ronchi dominated over an entire PSL and that was the claim

 

[xricket]

Rahat far more mature than Shaheen #UnPopularOpinion

 

[rhony]

Reserving for world cup?

In the nets u mean?

 

[Markhor]

Rahat actually starting off nicely. Good changes of pace.

 

[Anchorman]

Terrific over by the GOAT.

 

[rhony]

Good changes of pace from Rahat

 

[Markhor]

Rahat is lost out there

That was actually a great over from the maestro.

 

[Rana]

Its just one game for ABD. Kami Akmal and Ronchi dominated over an entire PSL and that was the claim

Yeah ok let’s continue to watch. So far Ronchi>>>>BMac and Gayle

 

[xricket]

In the nets u mean?

precisely.

 

[Rana]

That was actually a great over from the maestro.

Truly was, pulling things back

 

[Greenstorm]

They keep bowling short to Ronchi. Bowl him full at the stumps. Like that.

 

[Markhor]

Naive bowling from Shaheen. Not the right length.

 

[rhony]

Yeah ok let’s continue to watch. So far Ronchi>>>>BMac and Gayle

With those shots, you bet!!! Ronchi is dominating again

 

[Markhor]

Better ! Beautiful yorker.

 

[xricket]

Keep us giving width, gonna smash 'em all

 

[Anchorman]

If Ronchi replicates his form from last season, it doesn't matter what the rest of the team looks like, United are going to the finals.

 

[Rana]

With those shots, you bet!!! Ronchi is dominating again

The point is that it doesn’t mean the PSL has poor standards as argued by some Posters. The guy is a beast!

 

[rhony]

Beautiful slower ball. It actually turned

 

[rhony]

Brilliant comeback!!!

 

[Mueez]

Damn that was a very good yorker by

 

[rhony]

Islamabad Batting lineup Wow. They need Ronchi to carry on!!

 

[xricket]

Ronchi proving more AB than AB himself? Whats going on

 

[rhony]

Why did he take Rahat off!!!

 

[Rana]

Good shot, 22 year old Youngsta beauty

 

[Rana]

Oh jee oye Rizzy!

 

[rhony]

Heard a lot about this guy Rizwan. Looks well balanced in the crease

 

[babajee]

Rizwan looks good.

 

[Anchorman]

Hafeez too clever with his captaincy. Should've kept Rahat on after a brilliant over.

 

[xricket]

Rizwan= Next sharjeel? Too early?

 

[Mueez]

Rizwan....

He looks very good.

 

[Rana]

I support LQ, but I’m loving seeing this left handed opener. InshaAllah a future talent for Pakistan

 

[xricket]

Hafeez too clever with his captaincy. Should've kept Rahat on after a brilliant over.

Always tinkering lol and ends up breaking up the good combo

 

[Greenstorm]

Need to see Rizwan against short ball.

 

[rhony]

That shot over mid wicket. Tough shot on a slower ball.

 

[Mueez]

This Rizwan is Sharjeel 2.0.

Same shot as Sharjeel’s one.

 

[xricket]

Rizwan looks better than Imam Ul Haq, who has glimpses of Taufeeq Umar.
