Karachi Kings [126/3] cruise to a 7 wicket win over Quetta Gladiators [121/10] to start PSL 6

I don't understand in a country of 210 million people where the only major sport is cricket can field such low quality cricketers. This is really unfortunate stuff sadly. We need to produce 50 solid under 25 year old cricketers.
 
Will 130-135 be enough on this surface ? Babar and Sharjeel are at the top. Quetta will have to bowl very well to make a match out of it.
 
Another good thing rather one of the most impressive thing about Arshad is that he is a smart cookie
 
Looks like a boring T20 tournament to me

From all the tournaments, PSL seems to be stone dead last
 
Run a ball will get Quetta to 130 here , but they need to last 20 overs , which is going to be tough .

But 3 of the the top 7 batsmen were overseas batsmen who have play other leagues as well. One of those days I guess for QG

Unless there is a proper scouting system and infrastructure right down to the U-15 and U-16 and U-19 levels this won't happen.

There aren't enough grounds, facilities or a culture either.
 
Karachi should win this here , they need to just go with run a ball strategy, Ideal situation for Babaar here.
 
If QG can get 3 wickets in the powerplay they can give themselves bit of a chance
 
You said unbelievable over, thats what I was referring to and after that I said decent performance overall. Amnesia?

Bowlers decently today you say he went over a tick over 4 an over in the power play against Gayle and Banton.

Overall went at 3.5 an over. Amir’s skills force batsman to go after the weak bowlers. Hence ardshad got 3.
 
You won't see too many batting performances as bad as that one by QG.

Batting order was messed up, they seemed lethargic.
 
The Gray Nicks looking really nice in the Karachi kit in Babar's hands
 
Hasnain showing real zip and bounce something that is clearly missing from the likes of a Rauf, Musa etc
 
Hasnain has started to get bit better control over his natural outswing (Into left handers)
 
Thats the problem with over weight cricketers like Sharjeel, can handle incoming ball like this .

Husnain looks very fit, now he needs to play 4 day cricket
 
We play Haris Rauf over Hasnain in our national team . . . . go figure!
 
Time for Naseem to back up the good work by Hasnain
 
Naseem with short run up again he needs to make it long again..even corky just noticed the shorter run up
 
Naseem with short run up again he needs to make it long again..even corky just noticed the shorter run up

Thats possibly in an effort to make his body more aligned as mentioned by Cork. This is to prevent him from reoccurring back injuries and other sorts of issues.
 
143.2 kph from Naseem. Both Hasnain and Naseem have been the fastest pacers on show today.
 
Pakisanis enjoy reviews. We cant help it. Its like enjoying chai
 
Sorry to see how Naseem has become an epic trundler. Seems like he’s trying to model himself off Sohail Khan now
 
Hasnain and Naseem bowling pretty well. But Naseem front foot as he lands on the pitch to deliver the bowl is a worry for me.
 
QG needs couple of wickets in next 3-4 overs here
 
Nice to see Gul in QG's dressing room, excellent opportunity for Hasnain and Naseem to learn from one of the greats of T20.
