Islamabad United v Karachi Kings | PSL 2 | Match 20 | Dubai | Feb 26, 2017 | Match Thread

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Talat is more of a top order batsman. 6 might be too late for him. As we saw in both his innings he needs a couple of overs to get going, a luxury he won't have had 6.

My ODI batting side would be:

1. Fakhar
2. Second opener (not Shehzad)
3. Babar
4. Talat
5. Haris/Malik
6. Sarfaraz


Or we can push Babar to open the innings, move everyone up a spot and bring in Yamin

true he has been a top order batsman most of his career but i think he has the skillset to succeed down below, his 6 ratio is also pretty good in domestic.

Problem is there are hardly any lower order batsman in Pakistan. For all the stick that Hammad gets he is the only one in domestic cricket to bat low in the order ( sometimes too low) and still have a decent record.

Its duty to that we have the absurd situation where we have to make the players do that in international level. However the player himself has to have the skills and then embrace the role as well. We haven't had that since Abdul Razzaq

 

[Barragan]

Poor Shinwari got hit

Hope he is okay, but looks bad

 

[Barragan]

He is fine

Good to see

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shinwari has come a long way from when he made his debut. A lot better now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should get 40 more here.

 

[Barragan]

Edged away for 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith once again showing his worth here

 

[Justcrazy]

Last two overs they need to try and get another 30 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why doesnt amir get any wickets ..bowling pretty well

 

[Justcrazy]

101 / 3

13 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

haddin gone

 

[super hitter]

pollard the fielder takes his 3rd

 

[Barragan]

What is going on?

 

[Ummii]

Shinwari on hatrick

 

[Justcrazy]

two wickets in two balls

 

[Rayyman]

Karachi bowling well. Islamabad failing here with the bat.

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Shinwari>>>>Amir

 

[Barragan]

Come on Misbah

Roll back the years and hit the 2007 form

 

[super hitter]

and pollard took his 4th

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Shocking coverage by geo in uk....missed smith's wicket for adds!!

 

[super hitter]

120 will be nice

 

[Barragan]

That's it

Keep going Misbah

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah needs to hit a few sixes here

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah come on , few more

 

[Syed1]

Again Mel Jones misses the end of the over..

 

[Barragan]

At least Misbah retains strike for the last over

 

[Justcrazy]

112 / 5

last over

 

[super hitter]

120 is hard to chase on this damp pitch with our sick lineup

 

[JibranAnsari]

danny is a cartoon

 

[Justcrazy]

They need at least 10 - 12 of final over

 

[JibranAnsari]

120 is hard to chase on this damp pitch with our sick lineup

the wicket is super easy.. kk are gonna falter anyway

 

[Barragan]

Six

 

[Justcrazy]

Shadab gone , big six

 

[Syed1]

Amir abusing the 18 year old after picking his wicket.. lmao


Amir aisay din bhi anay thay

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shadab is amazing...

 

[Messiah]

If have been too slow. Noone in IU can smoke it like Pollard,afridi, Gayle, etc. That's why they won't win

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir abusing the 18 year old after picking his wicket.. lmao


Amir aisay din bhi anay thay

itna bara chakka khaya 18 years old se...

 

[Barragan]

Damn

Needed more sixes

 

[JibranAnsari]

amir gets some wickets finally

 

[Syed1]

itna bara chakka khaya 18 years old se...

Shadab is good.. I hope he is in the side soon

 

[Justcrazy]

124 is the target.

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Amir abusing the 18 year old after picking his wicket.. lmao


Amir aisay din bhi anay thay

Amir is frustrated....bacha bacha kut laga raha hai

 

[Syed1]

Rambo's girly giggles being heard over the mic

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shadab is good.. I hope he is in the side soon

Yah he should be .. He can easily bat at number 6.

 

[BleedGreen]

So how much do Karachi need to make minimum to qualify?

 

[Barragan]

Talat wasted 2 overs and Watson with one over

3 overs wasted in total

 

[Chief Destroyer]

How much do Karachi need to qualify?

 

[super hitter]

KK needs to score 111 or more.

 

[KingKhanWC]

124 is the target.

What to KK need to do in order to make sure of qualification?

 

[Square Drive]

111 to qualify?

 

[super hitter]

KK needs to score 111 or more.

means a win though just a 12 run difference

 

[BleedGreen]

Qalandars qualify karlo yaar

 

[imshally81]

KK needs 110 runs to qualify...

 

[Belawal2014]

111 to qualify. Score under 110, LQ through.

 

[BleedGreen]

111 is easy. Unless IU are rampant and get 5-6 quick wickets

 

[super hitter]

is there any bonus point in PSL?

 

[Belawal2014]

Lahore needs Islamabad to restrict Karachi by 110, scoring 111 would take Karachi to play offs. Should be easy for KK.

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on Isluuu!

 

[BleedGreen]

is there any bonus point in PSL?

No.

 

[BleedGreen]

So KK basically need 111 in 90 balls. That's a RRR of 7.4

IU needs to get quick wickets.

 

[super hitter]

Happy for Shadab, the guy seems good, but again, the young Hassan Khan is such an amazing all-rounder

 

[Belawal2014]

Should KK win this, I'm backing them to win PSL 2.

 

[TalhaSyed]

If KK score more than 111 but lose the match the play offs will be:

Q1: Islamabad vs Peshawar
Q2: Quetta vs Karachi
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

If KK score more than 111 and win the match the play offs will be:

Q1: Quetta vs Peshawar
Q2: Islamabad vs Karachi
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

If KK score less than 111

Q1: Islamabad vs Peshawar
Q2: Quetta vs Lahore
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

 

[Syed1]

Sorry LQ fans stop trying to find a backdoor into the playoffs

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 2-3 wickets

 

[super hitter]

If KK score more than 111 but lose the match the play offs will be:

Q1: Islamabad vs Peshawar
Q2: Quetta vs Karachi
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

If KK score more than 111 and win the match the play offs will be:

Q1: Quetta vs Peshawar
Q2: Islamabad vs Karachi
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

If KK score less than 111

Q1: Islamabad vs Peshawar
Q2: Quetta vs Lahore
Q3: Loser of Q1 vs Winner of Q2
Final: Winner of Q1 vs Winner of Q3

you wasted youn time man, we knew all this...

 

[Rayyman]

itna bara chakka khaya 18 years old se...

Bawhawt bara 66 m chakka.

 

[Barragan]

111 is too easy

Damn it!!!!!

 

[BleedGreen]

I think Ajmal will play a key role on this track

 

[super hitter]

111 is too easy

Damn it!!!!!

you were expecting something 150?

 

[BleedGreen]

If IU get 3-4 wickets for 30-40 runs then LQ have a chance.

 

[Belawal2014]

Bawhawt bara 66 m chakka.

metres don't matter as long as you get the placement right.

 

[BleedGreen]

you were expecting something 150?

Lahori's would have been happy with 140

 

[Syed1]

Shoooootttt


Lahore's best export plays for KK and will be instrumental in sending LQ home

 

[Barragan]

you were expecting something 150?

I wanted 200

Anything to make it impossible for KK

 

[super hitter]

And when cricket gateway is doing masti...

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[Barragan]

Irfan you rubbish

 

[Syed1]

Shottttt


Babar drilling nails in LQ's coffin

 

[BleedGreen]

Irfan getting phenty
