[Abdul]

​

Islamabad United Team

Amad Butt, Asif Ali, Babar Azam, S Badree, SW Billings, BJ Haddin†, Imran Khalid, Kamran Ghulam, Khalid Latif, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Mohammad Irfan, Mohammad Sami, Rumman Raees, AD Russell, Saeed Ajmal, Sharjeel Khan, Umar Amin, SR Watson

Karachi Kings Team

Bilawal Bhatti, RS Bopara, Fawad Alam, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Amir, Mushfiqur Rahim†, Nauman Anwar, Saifullah Bangash, Shakib Al Hasan, Shoaib Malik*, LMP Simmons, Sohail Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Usama Mir, JM Vince

 

[saadsahabjee]

Karachi team should be

Simmons
S.hasan
Malik
Imad
Bopara
Shakib
S.bangash
Usama
S.Khan
S.tanvir
Amir

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I expect the horrible team combination to continue from Karachi. This depleted Islamabad side shouldn't be an issue though.

Khi needs to get Aamir, Simmons back. The bowling of Aamir, Sohail, Usama, Imad, Bopara should do the trick for the Kings.

Anwar
Bopara
Malik
Shakib
Imad
Usama
S. Bangash
Sohail
Aamir

I would consider playing Shahzaib and giving the gloves to Nauman Anwar. Karachi needs to strike from ball 1 without fearing losing wickets. The extra batsman would give them that confidence.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Islamabad is a hopeless case with their absences. I don't know what options they still have.

Karachi has been a big time disappointment, and the worst fear of Karachi supporters has come true. That the recipe of allrounder overload will flop, and it has in the last few games. Tbf, had few things gone our way in the last 2-3 games, we could've won, but meh.

Amir is injured btw. Minor groin strain, that's why he's out. Otherwise no way they'd bench him.

Simmons needs to open, Malik needs to hang back at 4.

Bops needs to come in much much higher too.

This would be my squad:

1) Simmons
2) Nauman
3) Bopara
4) Mushfiqur +
5) Malik*
6) Shakib
7) Imad
8) Bhatti
9) Amir
10) Sohail Khan
11) Usama

Bhatti is better than toolbox with ball atm, and equal with bat.

Bhatti is actually quite handy with the bat and gets you a quick 20-30. I totally forgot about him in my team.

 

[Belawal2014]

1. Babar Azam
2. Sharjeel Khan
3. Umar Amin
4. Misbah-Ul-Haq
5. Sam Billings
6. Andre Russel (If there's a good start move him up to 3/4)
7. Brad Haddin

The bowlers.

Tanvir is a royal embarrassment man. Vs Zalmis his extra runs to Afridi turned out to be a deciding factor.

Challenge for me is backing Sharjeel yet still backing Karachi to win.

Guess I will pull a Bilal and say, I hope Karachi win but Sharjeel's strike rate isn't disturbed .

I hope Islu absolutely demolish and demoralize the Karachi Billis only because your favorite Shobby is leading them.

 

[Asif321]

big game . Sami boy to win it for United against his home side

 

[Professor]

Simmons needs to open, Malik needs to hang back at

1) Simmons
2) Nauman
3) Bopara
4) Mushfiqur +
5) Malik*
6) Shakib
7) Imad
8) Bhatti
9) Amir
10) Sohail Khan
11) Usama

That lineup looks good but one of Bangash or Hamza have to play. So probably would have to drop Sohail Khan for Mir Hamza.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Include Shahzaib, exclude Nauman and Imad.

 

[Belawal2014]

sust insaan, doesn't even name his bowlers.

don't be this lazy on your DE exam.

) Will totally leave out the Constants.

 

[Red Devil]

Must win game this, need to bring back Amin just for his bowling since all these dibbly-dobblers are getting so many wickets for some strange reason.

Latif
Sharjeel
Amin
Babar
Misbah
Billings
Haddin
Russell
Badree
Sami
Rumman

 

[shebimalik]

A couple of additions to Pakistan Super League squads:
Azhar Mahmood - Islamabad United
Owais Shah - Karachi Kings
(Saj Sadiq)

Shakib and Mushfiq to return home on 19, Dilshan injured too so KarachiKingsARY hire owaisshah for remaining matches.

Very important match. Wish Babar plays today. Whichever one of these wins will most probably qualify. Islamabad squad should be

Sharjeel
Babar
Amin
Latif
Misbah
Haddin
Russell
Sami
Rumman
Ajmal
Badree

Very good point you make

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mohammad Amir is playing.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Shahzaib in, Nauman OUT.

 

[Barragan]

Shahzaib Hasan is playing, finally.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

**** still no Babar! Wth Islamabad. This Asif Ali guy is playing but no Babar. Expected better from Misbah. Unless Babar is still injured

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dammit Nauman out. Guess thats not too unfair as its must win for karachi but I wanted to see him one more time

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Red Devil]

Bloody hell, still no Babar? What's wrong with these guys? Who in their right minds would play freaking Asif Ali over Babar?

 

[dhump]

Yes Tanvir dropped

[marlonbrowndo]

Absolutely stupid not to play Babar. Hes your best overall batsman you idiots

 

[Arsal_AK]

No Babar.

These guys have officially lost it. How can you not play him?? He is the best batsman in the side esp with Watson out.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Still cant get over Asif Ali over Babar

 

[Hamza_]

Why on earth would you play that hack Asif Ali?

 

[arehaan]

Where is Iftikhar Ahmed? Why is he not being played for Khi doesnt make sense. Babar Azam is out injured and hasnt recovered yet. Asif Ali was picked from the supplementary players as a replacement.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Who is Asif Ali anyway?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Barring a miracle Karachi should win this.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Misbah thinking

 

[Hamza_]

Who is Asif Ali anyway?

Pathetic batsman from Faislabad whom Misbah has a crush over

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah thinking

Deano tweeted last game that hes injured. Maybe hes injured now but itll be very stupid not to play him if he isnt injured

 

[Hamza_]

No billings either. But Russell is playing

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hope Sharjeel scores big and gets into World T20 team after Asia cup

 

[b.lesner]

owais shah is a waste of money , he did nothing against oldies in MCL , soumya sarkar would have been better option

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah shouldnt field if he isnt fully fit

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shahzaib gets his chance today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Badree and Sami is a great new ball pair

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hopefully more crowd comes in

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Missing leg

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good move to bowl out spinners early. Malik, Shakib and Mushfiq wont be that good against pace

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is a good move. And a wicket!

Poor team selection for KK - too weak batting. If they lose to IU, 'll struggle to make the cut.

 

[BigBoy123]

Why isn't Babar Playing? Don't think he is injured was carrying bottles and Towels ...

[Khyam]

Vince Out

 

[Barragan]

Terrible shot by Vince

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Another one! Stupid shot Imad

 

[BigBoy123]

Immad once again disappoints....what's wrong with him?

Imad honey moon period is over.

I want them to come 5th and not qualify. Im from Karachi but I like an upset. Also want to give max number of oppurtunities to Sharjeel, Babar, Akmal and Rizwan to impress which is why I want Lahore and Isl to qualify

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

What Malik trying to do by sending Imad

 

[arehaan]

Imad is done and dusted should be dropped immediately

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why is malik hiding. He should come against spin. He wont be as good against pace. Or i woulda promoted Mushfiq

Not good enough

 

[hussain.r97]

Imad has been useless this whole tournament in all aspects of his game.

 

[Barragan]

prime behind again

Horrible channel

Immad played a horrible shot though. He has been all over the place lately.

 

[Hamza_]

Pathetic decision. Terrible Umpiring

 

[BigBoy123]

Not good enough

Acha

[marlonbrowndo]

Haha masing. It looked closer though. I woulda given it out. Where is the slip btw

 

[Barragan]

The other one should have been given, but this one shouldn't

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Now Malik from opener to No 5. What he is trying

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Time to bring Sami tbh

 

[BigBoy123]

mA badree keep bowling like this

[Khyam]

Four by Shahzaib

 

[arehaan]

Shoaib Malik has been a very bad captain there seems to be no consistency in his planning. Why change the batting order? Imad Wasim seems seriously short on confidence not a good sign

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

And poor umpiring continues

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Any umpire Will give OUT

 

[Executioner]

So they are struggling in their batting but they decide to keep sakib and Vince instead of Simmons but prefer to keep Mushfiqur batting at no. 7

 

[Khyam]

Another four by Shahzaib

 

[Dios]

James Vince

Man Malik loves this guy. Seven matches and no 50 yet as a top-order batsman but still gets picked.

KK again sending Mushfiqur, the best batsman in the team, low down the order probably at number 7. Malik is a disastrous captain and Mickey Arthur is far too experimental as a coach like he was with Dhaka in the BPL.

 

[pasha404]

Malik hiding as usual behind Bopara

 

[arehaan]

Any umpire Will give OUT

He deserved to be out as he played an ugly shot was completely beaten and looked pretty adjacent
