Zeeshan was saying this is first time I batted at no5 and I am an opener but would try to prove myself wherever I am given an opportunity.

Definitely justified being picked in diamond category today.
 
Tahir against Munro and Ronchi wasnt a bad move but they both were upto the task.
 
:four

:six

:four


ISLU ON FIRE!!!! This is just a glimpse of how good we are.

Trophy is ours again.

This will most likely be the most aggressive opening pair in the tournament.

Kami is also there but he doesn't have a good supporter.

Bowling is a worry, especially with Shadab's decline. He was smacked around by Quetta and then tonight again. We should have looked to rope in someone that offers a bit more consistency.

Struggling with form. Needs to work in nets and then needs bit of luck to get the confidence back.

Spin department is a worry indeed. Unable to limit scoring during middle of the innings.

Pacers are doing very well.
 
Steyn is injury prone, wouldn't be surprised if he isn't available for the playoffs.

Other than him there isnt much international experience in bowling for IU unfortunately. Had to let Sami go at some point.
 
I have liked Ilyas. Their is something about him. He targets the stumps a lot and is skiddy of the pitch. Has a knack of clean bowling batsmen despite not being super pacy. Underrated bowler.
 
Surprising that Moen Ali who was the game changer against LQ hasn’t bowled till now.
 
Looks like after two rounds, every team is with 1 win (& 1 loss) ..... only LQ with 0 win (& might be 2 losses by tomorrow). They are the outlier of what is otherwise quite a closely matched tournament seeds :(

they deserve it with clueless Aqib as head.

It's probably beyond Aaquib, their management is hyper and probably a bit childish as well. They had like Paddy Upton in first two rounds and had BMac as Captain, still ....... May be, they need to appoint a sane head as Director Cricket to look after the 1st team cricket affairs while Management can focus on the talent hunting, community engagement and branding events. Too many chefs spoiling the broth here - Lahore can form an ATG Test team from players born only in that city and yet LQ doesn't have any local player as icon, neither any former great with their team, when people like Wasim Akram is associated with Multan, Karachi.
 
Misbah giving ample opportunities to young Pakistani batters!! IU might as well be called Europe United , absolutely disgusting & disgraceful that head coach & chief selector can’t have 2 Pakistanis in the top 3 , which should be the case with all the franchises
 
I knew Multan bowling will struggle as all the fast bowlers are trundlers

Rizwan Hussain is a very good option
