Lush green ground

Kudos to ground staff they have done a remarkable job.

 

[emranabbas]

Batting team will win this easy

 

[Syed1]

Whichever team wins will have two championships and we are yet to get off the mark

 

[Syed1]

Batting team will win this easy

Sir in cricket both teams bat

 

[shaz619]

How many minutes left before the start of play? deciding if I should get a quick bite

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Beautiful, utterly breathtaking. Big step!

Hope next PSL, they can turn up the audio so we can feel the atmosphere more.

I love the Isloo young stars - will be fun watching them in action.

 

[emranabbas]

How many minutes left before the start of play? deciding if I should get a quick bite

Hope Misbah leaves cricket on a high. How much is the ground capacity?

 

[Hermoine Green]

Misbah ain't playing ALHAMDULILLAH

 

[Hermoine Green]

Zalmi won the toss and elected to bat first

 

[emranabbas]

Zalami to win

 

[babajee]

King Talat in a run chase

 

[Hermoine Green]

Misbah is not playing which means IU can actually win

 

[yasir]

Its great to see Cricket back in Karachi, I hope return of international cricket in coming years... Karachi was our fortress, never lost a single test in there for half a century, if my memory server me correctly. There were some excellent spells of fast bowling over the years by our seamers, ocean breeze use to changed the game in a session. I hope to see test cricket back in Pakistan in 2/3 years!!

 

[emranabbas]

Akmal will be out cheaply

 

[world cup captain]

Time to take back the cup which belongs to us!!!

 

[saeed5646]

Hope Misbah leaves cricket on a high. How much is the ground capacity?

32000

 

[dauntless]

Islamabad stand no chance here

 

[saeed5646]

Islamabad have done fantastic job with trusting youngster hopefully farhan will grap opporuntiy with both hand and perform at grand stage

 

[Hermoine Green]

Should have kicked out Saad Nasim.

 

[dauntless]

Okay wahab and boys now time for ultimate destruction

 

[dauntless]

NeEd to score 160 and job will be done

 

[DRsohail]

Should have kicked out Saad Nasim.

Yes Hammad azam was a better option.batting is thin..with too many passengers.

 

[dauntless]

Bad news for us Zalmi

Well true that!! We have this under control

 

[dauntless]

Should have kicked out Saad Nasim.

Yeah! He is really awful.Everyone is better than him

 

[ManFan]

32000

Thanks.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Hope Fletcher will destroy IU bowling unit.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Yeah! He is really awful.Everyone is better than him

But Rambo said "Saad Nasim has impressed me alongwith Talat, Asif, Shaheen and Agha".

 

[Hasan123]

Cricket back in Karachi. Great day for Pakistan fans.

 

[Syed1]

The whole stadium chanting Pakistan Zindabad

[dauntless]

Really wonderful atmosphere!!

 

[Hermoine Green]

Samit Patel opening the bowling.

 

[Syed1]

Getting the spectators to turn on their cellphone flash and do up down was a nice touch... looked spectacular

 

[shaz619]

The whole stadium chanting Pakistan Zindabad

Great to see, who are you supporting btw

 

[Syed1]

Finals are generally anti-climatic don't expect it to be a legendary game

 

[world cup captain]

At least half the PSL needs to be done in Pakistan. I've got goosebumps listening and watching this.

 

[daytrader]

Lovely atmosphere... here we go

 

[Hermoine Green]

Come on commies, wake up.

 

[Syed1]

Great to see, who are you supporting btw

Zalmi

 

[Hasan123]

Good decision to bowl Patel to Kami. He has issues versus left arm spin.

 

[dauntless]

Kami bhai has to carry this batting lineup

 

[Hermoine Green]

Great to see, who are you supporting btw

Obviously Karachi Kings ................................ PSL4 )

 

[Hasan123]

Nice start by Patel.

 

[Hasan123]

Dawson is another danger man with the bat for PZ.

 

[world cup captain]

Great start for Islu. Just need to keep things tidy.

 

[AFM]

Is Mickey going to commentate this game?

 

[Syed1]

Local boy in the attack

 

[Hasan123]

Local boy Sami into the attack.

Sami vs Kami. It's like 2006 all over again.

 

[shaz619]

Dawson is another danger man with the bat for PZ.

Don't fancy our chances batting second final and all, need to restrict them around 140ish

 

[Hermoine Green]

Should have gone for four Kami bhai

 

[Hasan123]

Tight start.

 

[dauntless]

Oh speed guns! Whoa! I was not expecting that

 

[Hasan123]

Don't fancy our chances batting second final and all, need to restrict them around 140ish

We have enough batting depth. Confident we can chase whatever PZ score. We have chased in a final before and last game we chased.

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] will only tune in if we win just so he can watch Misbah lift the trophy, he isn't really a united fan
