[ahmedwaqas92]

175 to win

 

[Big Mac]

Tough chase, I fancy Quetta to defend this.

 

[Suleiman]

Should be good, glad it's not some phusenda 130-140.

Some :AAG from Sharjeel and co

 

[Syed2015]

Could have easily been something between 180-190, wouldnt it be for trundwar...

 

[Professor]

A lot depends on Sharjeel,If he fails than i don't see United maintaining the run rate needed to chase this total down.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I guess they're 10 runs short of those wasted 5 deliveries by the fake alrounder

 

[Madplayer]

If quetta lose anwar ali's batting at the end would be a big factor in it. He was just appalling.

 

[Barragan]

Get Sharjeel and the game is done

Smith has the ability to play a blinder is well, hence should get rid of him early for safety

 

[JilaWatan]

I expect united to come out blazing.

 

[Madplayer]

Tom moody is a genius..he called it before the match that the score will be around 170.

 

[Mamoon]

Could have been both 185 if Anwar wouldn't have caught thin air for 6 deliveries or 165 had Russell bowled better at the death, still it is 50-50 in my opinion.

 

[cricfan14]

I don't think Islamabad will chase this. Some really expensive bowling - those 6s on the last over were killer

Way too many runs conceded. ISL bowling just not good enough. Makes you realize what a collapse Zalmi had

 

[Madplayer]

Najam sethi, " the viewership is huge in india as well, not just the world"

Alan wilkins ,"its huge in germany, UK and KASHMIR too "

 

[Red Devil]

Lot depends on how Sharjeel plays now. IU need him to provide them with a good start.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Islamabad pulled it back thanks to Anwar's mediocrity. Should be a good chase, Sharjeel needs to fire at the top.

 

[#GreenRoars]

So, according to Sethi, KP agreed to visit Pakistan.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Quetta lost the plot by not sending in Elliot when Sanga got out.

Anyway as long as it helps Isloo win....

 

[cricfan14]

I want desperately to see PSL in Pakistan but it is really really not realistic yet

 

[Hamza_]

Sethi is such a cool person.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Smith is bad but needs to play a 25(12) knock

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

If Gladiators take out one of their openers within first 3 overs, United will struggle big time then. Their middle order can't chase this down. Khalid and Misbah need a solid platform to join the party or they may end up spoiling it.

 

[Firebreaker]

Shahzad to open?

 

[Madplayer]

According to sethi KP and dean jones have agreed to come and play PSL in Pak next year.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lot depends on opening partnership.

 

[Belawal2014]

So, according to Sethi, KP agreed to visit Pakistan.

Mooh pe nah todi bolte hai

 

[Lords]

Any link? Dont want to miss the final.

 

[Barragan]

Nice hearing from Sethi

Have to give him for starting this PSL

 

[#GreenRoars]

Feeling - Smith gonna smash hard Quetta's bowlers.

 

[Firebreaker]

According to sethi KP and dean jones have agreed to come and play PSL in Pak next year.

Still it should be held here unless it is clear to go to Pakistan there are still many doubts

 

[Madplayer]

Anwar swinging the ball again ) what has gotten into him?

 

[Barragan]

Nice hearing from Sethi

Have to give him for starting this PSL

Credit

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Straight away inward movement for Anwar

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot! Flat pitch. Should chase it

 

[Khyam]

Shot Smith

 

[cricfan14]

Feeling - Smith gonna smash hard Quetta's bowlers.

Disagree. He's been so mediocre

Edited: yaar my delay making me look stupid lolll

 

[Madplayer]

Still it should be held here unless it is clear to go to Pakistan there are still many doubts

I agree

 

[aukhan]

anwar

 

[Arsal_AK]

Sharjeel should run Smith out if he shows any signs of going into the last match's mode.

 

[Barragan]

What a start by Smith

 

[JilaWatan]

Now he getting spanked

 

[Syed2015]

Najam sethi, " the viewership is huge in india as well, not just the world"

Alan wilkins ,"its huge in germany, UK and KASHMIR too "

Nice to see Germany under those countries. This is largely because the European TV rights have been given to Prime TV, a free tv channel, available in all Europe. Though the quality of the broadcast hasnt been satisfying at all.

 

[Madplayer]

Smith putting anwar in his place. Anwar having a nightmare final so far.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Effective slog

 

[Abdul]

Good start from Dwayne Smith.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Good positive start by United.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Anwar being smashed in the first over. Good going.

 

[Firebreaker]

Smith need to fire if Islamabad wants to win

 

[Abdul]

Sharjeel Khan will be a big factor for instrumenting the win for Islamabad United.

 

[Barragan]

What a hit by Sharjeel

 

[Madplayer]

Massive by sharjeel.

Anwar is having a nightmare.

 

[Arsal_AK]

15 of the first.

 

[Greenshadow]

sharjeel is a beast..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a shot!

 

[Khyam]

Six by Sharjeel. Quality.

 

[aukhan]

 

[JilaWatan]

What a pick up shot

 

[saeed5646]

Anwar Ali bowled in that first T20I against Zimbabwe when cricket came back to Pakistan. Then Anwar Ali also bowled in the first bowl of the PSL, and he's now bowling the first over of the final of the PSL"

 

[Abdul]

The game is definitely on!

 

[#GreenRoars]

No mercy to Anwar Ali

 

[Greenshadow]

So nice to see someone who can loft the ball over the ropes with such ease..

 

[Syed2015]

Damn you Anwar.

 

[Madplayer]

Islamabad are running away with it more

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

It's almost over for Gladiators.

 

[Khyam]

Smith you Beauty

 

[Yanna_Rascala]

What a start by allrounder I have been preaching this for months that this guy is a joke of a cricketer.

 

[Barragan]

Nathan isn't a good bowler

Should have played Wright instead (If he was fit)

 

[Barragan]

Game running away from QG

 

[JilaWatan]

Bring in nawaz. Need wickets

 

[razabbas]

hopefully it wont be a one sided match

 

[Madplayer]

Zulfeeka baba misfielding

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Have a feeling Elliott will be brought soon. No need to attack him

 

[Madplayer]

Bring in nawaz. Need wickets

Left armers arent usually that effective against left handed batsmen and There is a left handed monster batting out there.

 

[Thivagar]

Dwayne smith is called "Doctor" now ? LOL

 

[razabbas]

Trundler murdered

 

[Khyam]

Shot Yaar

 

[Arsal_AK]

more

Anwar being torn apart.

 

[Madplayer]

Anwar ali single handedly losing the game for quetta

 

[MMHS]

PAK cricket must come of of the curse of UAE wickets. What's going no? In a National Final, 4 of the 5 initial bowlers are Imran Khalid, Badree, Anwar Ali & Nathan Mac. Captains are keeping Sami, Cheema, Russell for last overs & teams are loaded with 3/4 bits & pieces spin all-rounders. PAK must stop defying it's cricket core.
