Will this be affected by rain too?

Only in a Pakistani match it can rain in a desert.

Mostly only Pakistani Matches take place in deserts

 

[Gunner786]

Islamabad really need another explosive pakistani opener so the overseas players can move down a slot. We are very top order heavy and have nothing after 5.

 

[Sub-Zero]

really wanna see Hussain Talat today

 

[JibranAnsari]

Match gonna happen?

 

[Deception]

really wanna see Hussain Talat today

Keep dreaming, in presence of misbah you will never see a youngster thanks to one emerging player rule in playing 11 that we saw glimpses of Shadab n Ammad.

yeah I think Rafatullah has more chance of playing than Hussain Talat

 

[lonex]

Match gonna happen?

According to cricinfo :7.55 pm There's an inspection in five minutes' time. I am really looking forward to see Shadab and Hussain Talat today.

 

[Syed1]

PCB should special consideration and whenever Misbah is the captain of a side that side should have a minimum of three emerging players. That is the only way Misbah will play a youngster.

I'd love to see that, I said this in another thread that there should be At least 2 emerging players in the starting line up and at least 5 in the squad.

 

[Sub-Zero]

what's the probability of Gayle firing today?!

 

[Rayyman]

I am hyped for KK v.s. IU!

[Sub-Zero]

I don't care who wins, just wanna see Pakistani players performing here, Quetta Peshawar match was such a turn off

he may go for a pseudo youngster like iftikhar ahmad with fake birth certificate,...

I like how you passionately support Karachi in times of depression

 

[Syed1]

If I remember correctly last year the 'emerging player' for Misbah's IU was a 32 year old.

I think he won't be dropped, and that's a positive for the opposition 9/10 times

 

[saeed5646]

he might score today he is beast you never know with him

 

[Sub-Zero]

he might score today he is beast you never know with him

yeah I know he's a beast but nowadays he only shows up once every 10 games

the way he was leaving the balls in the last game was hilarious Karachi struggled later because of that

 

[Rayyman]

I like how you passionately support Karachi in times of depression

What depression?

Tournament has just started.

 

[Sub-Zero]

What depression?

Just shows quality of Pakistani bowling. Has always been best in the world and always will be.

 

[Sub-Zero]

toss delayed again

 

[Executioner]

rain is usually a nuisance but seems like Pakistani fans are happy in general that its raining in the desert.

lol you might be right

 

[Rayyman]

Rain is a blessing. It's a shame that we are complaining about it just because of a cricket match.

 

[Sub-Zero]

only karachi fans are happy about it

 

[Rayyman]

LOL.

Ian Bishop eating biryani.

[Rayyman]

Left arm spinner in for Sherr.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Karachi Kings have won the toss and will bowl

 

[Sub-Zero]

Saeed Ajmal back and so is Imran Khalid for Islu

 

[Rayyman]

Left arm spinner in for Sherr.

Kashif bhai aaj apna kaam karde please.

 

[Syed1]

[Rayyman]

Rain again.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Kashif bhai aaj apna kaam karde please.

he's been impressing in the national t20 cups, let's see how he does here

 

[super hitter]

this is going to be an easy win, mark my words.
but if the game begins

 

[Sub-Zero]

covers are coming off

 

[Sub-Zero]

this is going to be an easy win, mark my words.
but if the game begins

win for Islu or Khi?

 

[super hitter]

It looks like we will get some cricket in Sharjah today after all. Karachi Kings are getting into their huddle, Mohammad Amir basically skipping in to join his team-mates as he warms up.

 

[super hitter]

win for Islu or Khi?

Since KK is bowling first, its them

 

[Sub-Zero]

hats off to karachi, going with the same batting order as last match, too many accumulators in the side not enough big hitters

 

[Sub-Zero]

Since KK is bowling first, its them

they did bowl first in the last match as well

 

[Sarfarazian92]

yes boy great start

 

[Sub-Zero]

hoping Imad get some wickets

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Cricket is a beautiful game.Billings goes from hero to zero

 

[super hitter]

outttttttt

 

[Sub-Zero]

yes Imad strikes

 

[super hitter]

they did bowl first in the last match as well

the rain factor bro...the last match could've been also won

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over by Imad

 

[Sub-Zero]

the rain factor bro...the last match could've been also won

bowling is good batting is the problem, let's see

 

[super hitter]

bowling is good batting is the problem, let's see

I expect an extremely low total, anything above 140 is absolutely un-chasable

 

[MMHS]

Talat might not get a single game if wicket remains similar. Abu Dhabi is probably worse surface on a large ground - teams might play 5 spinners.

 

[Sub-Zero]

I expect an extremely low total, anything above 140 is absolutely un-chasable

yeah I think that would be a good total if Islu get to 150+ they will be favorites, their bowling is good as well

 

[Sub-Zero]

happy for Imad, some early wickets

 

[Sub-Zero]

shinwari getting that out swing

 

[Sub-Zero]

love Imad's passion

 

[Sub-Zero]

couple of wickets here would be good for Shinwari's confidence

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shinwari seems faster than he really is.

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over by Shinwari

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shinwari seems faster than he really is.

Yeah! I'm not too sure about these speed guns..

 

[Speedster777]

Shinwari is pacy. get him in the team.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shinwari seems faster than he really is.

got a good slower one as well, can bowl 140 kph though

 

[Sub-Zero]

nice shot Smith, need some more

 

[WC-Passion]

Islamabad's batsmen play too slowly on the whole, they can't win every game like this.

 

[Sub-Zero]

dangerous bowling

 

[Sub-Zero]

Misbah can't play Imad

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah to send one to moon

 

[JibranAnsari]

Karachi dont have good enough bowlers to choke misbah

 

[Sub-Zero]

welcome to PSL kashif

 

[Barragan]

Hope KK win today

 

[Sub-Zero]

bad bad fielding, Shinwari again

 

[Barragan]

What was that?

shinwari can't catch

 

[kingusama92]

Another bad fielder among the prospects.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Rahat ko nhi khilaogay tou yehi hoga, bad-dua lagegi uski
