I am fine. Alhamdulillah. How are you? Pak cricket has been so uninteresting that there isn't much to say neither does the PCB make any sense.

Its been a strange trend in the PSL leaving the last over to a part timer. Many Local captains keep doing this.
I'm fine too thanks.

I know what you mean it's just how Pak cricket is really and yes this PSL trend is quite weird to say the least.

Yet again a local captain gifts a game by giving the last over to a part timer.

Why couldn;t MItchel have bowled the 12th over? Could have kept Rauf for the last over then.

Shaheen Afridi lost them this match. There were cruising till over 11.

Shaheen also lost it with his bowling. He was bowling short and wide with short thrid man up
He also bowled short with fine leg and square leg up.
He doesn't know how to bowl to his field
 
Don't think that there will be a lot of changes in the team but based on what we saw in the NZ tour, Pak can put on a very attack minded team on the field.

This could be something for non-asian conditions. For asian conditions we need more spinners & I don't see any who are performing right now other than Abrar.

Can't except this from senior bowler & captain
 
Warner bossed Shaheen in the post match interview too.

He said he was baffled by Shaheen’s comments about spin :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Hopefully Warner puts Rizwan and Tareen in their place too.

They were doing the most backwas about spin tracks and spin conditions :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Rauf and Shaheen need to work on their Yorker game.... And that's going back the past 2 years.

I'd be happy if someone can share some stats regarding this ? They've become really susceptible to being hit around too easily.
 
David Warner Praises Irfan Khan After Thrilling Win Over Lahore Qalandars
Karachi Kings skipper David Warner was full of praise for his team after they pulled off a thrilling four-wicket win over Lahore Qalandars in a rain-shortened 15-over clash at Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday night in the HBL PSL 10.

Lahore Qalandars posted a formidable 160/8, powered by fiery half-centuries from openers Mohammad Naeem (65 off 29) and Fakhar Zaman (51 off 33). However, the Kings, chasing a revised target of 168, held their nerve to secure victory with three balls to spare—thanks largely to Irfan Khan Niazi’s explosive unbeaten knock of 48 off just 21 deliveries.

Warner, speaking after the match, credited his bowlers for setting the stage.
“It was an amazing victory, but first I want to talk about the bowlers—they did an amazing effort to restrict them to 160,” he said. “And then obviously it was a brilliant effort by [Irfan Khan] Niazi. We stuck with him and spoke to him about having that hunger and desire, and today, the way he played was the cream on the top.”

David Warner also addressed the tactical difference in team composition, as Lahore opted for a spin-heavy attack while Karachi went in with four pacers.
“No, I stuck with it [the pace attack]. I think Shaheen [Afridi] said it was going to turn but not one ball has turned here in three games,” Warner said candidly.

“So I was baffled by those comments, but for us, you just gotta back yourself and that’s the way our team is positioned at the moment. Our bowlers have been fantastic—they’ve been taking wickets—and there is probably not that room for an extra spinner at the moment.”

With just two matches remaining in the group stage, Warner highlighted the importance of momentum as the playoffs loom.
“Well, back-to-back wins is a great thing. We have pulled off a miracle here today,” he said. “So look, the momentum going into Rawalpindi will be great, and hopefully we can win back-to-back there and have that opportunity to try and cement that top-of-the-table position.”

Karachi Kings will now head to Rawalpindi for their final two group matches—against Peshawar Zalmi on May 8 and Islamabad United on May 10—as they aim to lock in a top-two finish in the HBL PSL 10 standings.
