Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi | 3rd Qualifying Final | Dubai | Feb 21, 2016 | Islamabad Innings

Though I am a native of Islamabad but still I dont want Zalmi to lose

Zalmi/Quetta Final would be good
 
Islamabad have finally got their combination right. Zalmi have a stronger bowling attack but Islamabad have an edge in batting department. A lot will depend on toss, team bowling first will probably win.
 
Sharjeel
Amin
Haddin
Smith
Khalid
Misbah
Asif
Russell
Sami
Irfan
Ajmal

Adding Amin will also give that medium slow option which have been a hit on these wickets. Amin must play.
 
Come on Zalmi's.

Let's book that rematch against QG and take revenge.

Also, bowl first because the pitch tends to stop spinning in the latter half of the match, except the first few overs.
 
Would love to see Babar Azam or Umar Amin but unless there is an injury to locals they won't play and Islamabad will play the same team.

Tait may get unfit mid match today.

Upset is coming up and Islamabad will beat peshawar today. InshaAllah.

Am not so sure, it's their main weakness imo but their line up/batting-order looks a lot better then it did earlier in the tournament. Smith/Sharjeel to provide fire power at the top, then you have Haddin who's in decent nick at no.3 and Misbah 911 at no.5 with great lower order hitters in Ali and Russel.

In comparison, Peshawar have the dangerous Hafeez at the top, Kamran will open and he's been in poor nick plus batted in wrong positions but he can play a blinder on his day, hodge is still decent, Bairstow is dangerous and Sammy is lethal down the order. Afridi is also capable of winning the game with the bat via once in a blue moon so remains a threat to an extent although I'd back Sami to get him out of there quick providing he keeps a cool head.

Winning the toss will be crucial but it's a pressure game and I doubt it will factor that much into the outcome. Peshawar on paper are a lot stronger but am hoping they are burned out and Islamabad Triumph playing collectively as a team with their better energy levels; not interested in watching Quetta v Peshawar again.

No need change a winning combination.

InshaAllah.
 
Islamabad v Peshawar; Misbah v Afridi Round 2, who wins?

In their most recent encounter Misbah destroyed Afridi's bowling :misbah but Peshawar won the game in the end :afridi

What do you think will happen this time round?
 
I predict that Afridi will take Misbah's wicket but Islamabad will win :)
 
my gut feeling Isb will win this.Smith & Haddin will fire on all cylinders.that is what i feel
 
Islamabad winning the toss would have made this an even contest. Now it should be easy for Peshawar to chase something around 140.
 
Nagraj Gollapudi has this to say from the Dubai International Stadium: "On Friday, thousands sat out helplessly due to a sellout, but there was just a skeletal crowd in comparison yesterday. Not too different so far today.
 
Don't know why Bairstow has been dropped.

malan has only played one good innings and nothing much else.

Sharjah would have been a better choice,but any way you learn from mistakes
 
Leg Side Hack is so horrible cant play anything on offside even if the bowl is to drive on offside.
 
Good start by United

Look at this idiot Rameez! Still questioning why didn't Zalmi opted for Junaid? Didn't he see Hasan performed well? He undermines players a lot in a way! Poor stuff!
 
Afridi under pressure straight away

I am really glad Juni isn't playing today... Zalmi's will get a phainta of their lives today so thankfully his average wouldn't be disturbed :D
 
Keep bowling him on leg side.. He will score 100 runs tonight but if he keep him on offside line he will be out in 2 or 3 deliveries.
