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

Rizwan's eye and natural timing is a thing to notice.
 
Remember when Sohail Khan launched the ball straight at Yasir last season cos he wasn’t listening to him :))) LQ were a shambles.
 
Sharjeel used to struggle big time against spin, lets hope Rizwan can play it better.
 
Last time Yasir bowled at DSC, he took 8/41.

Tidy first over from him.
 
Rizwan can play spin good i think, can prove a good counter against indian trio attack
 
Could have played that any where on the off side. Went for the leg side instead. Need to see off side strokes and play against short ball

Rizwan impressions?

You can definitely sense that he's nervous, which is understandable. Seems like a good natural timer of the ball but needs to get his feet moving.

As I type this, he skies one trying to hoick it over to the leg side. The King claims his first victim. :rahat

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.

How old are you?? 5??. Yes innings would be over and he should ask to come and bat... :inti

Second one for the king :rahat
 
The Rahat in action..... :))


IU never had a chance with LQ having The Destroyer within their ranks :rahat
 
Mickey has Rahat in his eyes, and now cant take him off. Only worrying sign can be his fielding.

It was his first much so definitely would have been a bit nervous but looks good overall.
 
Rahat has single handedly turned the game here. Legend.

England are you watching, Australia are you watching, India are you watching.

This is Rahat Ali, COMING FOR YOU.

Okay I'll calm down now.
 
OMG why? I won't watch the world cup if he goes to England. Still hate him for dropping that catch, he is mediocre and pathetic on flat tracks.
 
Rahat proving to be better than Amir, yet again! Bowling with swing, and getting wickets. Almost had hatrick, if he reviewed it. The new sultan of swing?

He started swinging the red ball in UAE, if you watched cricket with SL & other teams in UAE
 
I just switched on to watch Rabat pick up two wickets from two rank long hops...
 
This is why T20 cricket is the best form of cricket. Game changed in just one over!

TBH if he can get this much shape in England. He can be the new ball bowler we need for this WC. He won't do worst than UKS
 
Rahat with bullet arm, at short fine leg. Our team should see him fielding and learn!

Wait are you serious ? He should be no where near our World cup squad. WC is too lowly a tournament for the KING.

After Amir ban, if you were watching cricket, Rahat used to swung it with new ball in UAE. Talk to anyone who saw him bowling. He even swung in Sirilanka. I think Waqar worked with him. Thats why he was in WC squad. Only problem is, Australia suits to bowlers bowling short
 
Talat 4(8) while team is chasing nearly 10 rpo :salute :salute:salute

He has always swung the ball but lacks accuracy and mindset to bowl in International Cricket.
 
Run rate at 10 rpo.... Captain Talat to the rescue :salute

Might actually work.
We just need a new ball bowler

We won't have this discussion, if you guys had followed Rahat during Waqar's tenure. I was surprised to see someone who could bowl on dead tracks and still swung it. Wasn't a lot of movement, but enough which picked wickets in UAE. Kind of like Junaid Khan, who got lost behind the AMir's glamour
