Noor Ahmad just needs to build pressure and the Gladiators will sink themselves.

Imad was smart to finish his overs because Azam Khan would have thrashed him.
Noor needs to get rid of Azam Khan and Sarfaraz Ahmed because they're realistically the only potentially capable batsmen in the QG lineup.

This will be the key pair if QG is going to win. If Karachi can get either of these guys soon then it should be over.

Azam Khan needs to fire here , he needs to play a solid cameo.

I wonder if brands like tapal have a say in how their products are advertised, any publicity is good publicity as they say but it seems like the commentators are very sarcastic and almost mock tapal tea when it’s time to promote it.

This HBL Parvaz thing is the stupidest thing ever.
Everyone is on the field waiting for this one guy. And here they are interviewing him mid-match.
Enough time is wasted on reviews, strategic time-outs, ads to waste more time on something like this.

I have seen many selfish knocks but this is an amazing. They have no pressure after being knocked out and should be playing with freedom yet Sarfraz choose to bat at snail pace and make it impossible to chase. Being a captain you ought to do better than that giving up without any fight.

If Nadeem Omar has a brain he will sack Sarfraz for this farcical innings. What a pathetic approach to a run chase.

I haven’t watched the match but yeah on paper it seems like a horrible knock from Sarfaraz. He really seems done now. Quetta needs a new captain.

Karachi Kings stayed on course to defend their HBL Pakistan Super League title when they defeated Quetta Gladiators by 14 runs to eliminate Lahore Qalandars in the penultimate match of the 2021 edition at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Danish Aziz stroke a hurricane 13-ball 45, including a record 33 runs off a seven-ball 19th over from Jack Wildermuth, which lifted Karachi Kings to 176 for seven after they were reeling at 136 for five in 18 overs.
Quetta Gladiators, who made five changes to their side for their final outing in what was a forgettable series for them, finished at 162 for seven in 20 overs.
Karachi Kings’ victory meant Lahore Qalandars failed to qualify for the play-offs for the fifth time in six attempts and will now take a return flight along with Quetta Gladiators. Kings eliminated Qalandars on net run-rate after both the sides finished their 10 matches with 10 points apiece.
While table-toppers Islamabad United already guaranteed to feature in the 21 June Qualifier irrespective of how their last match against Multan Sultans pans out, Sultans will need to avoid a big loss against United to ensure both the sides go head to head in the match that will commence at 1700 UAE time (1800 PKT time).
If Sultans beat United or avoid a big loss, then Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings will go toe to toe in the first Eliminator on 21 June, which will get underway at 2200 UAE time (2300 PKT time). In the scenario of Sultans losing heavily in the 30th and final league match, United and Zalmi will play the Qualifier, while Sultans and Kings will meet in the first Eliminator.
Danish Aziz was the star of Karachi Kings’ victory that kept them alive in the tournament. Danish slapped two fours and five sixes in a 13-ball 45 that propelled them from a concerning 136 for five in 18 overs to a position of strength at 176 for seven in 20 overs.
Danish added 53 runs for the sixth wicket in 18 balls with Chadwick Walton, who returned unbeaten on a 27-ball 34 with two fours and two sixes.
After electing to bat first, Karachi had made a solid start in their must-win match by reaching 71-0 in nine overs, before they lost their way and stuttered to 136 for five in 18 overs. Sharjeel piloted Kings’ positive start by scoring a 34-ball 45 with three fours and four sixes, while Babar Azam contributed a 25-ball 23.
The story for Gladiators was the debut of left-arm spinner Arish Ali, who returned highly impressive figures of 4-0-28-4. His victims were big fishes Sharjeel, Martin Guptill (five), Najibullah Zadran (12) and Imad Wasim (three).
In their target chase, Quetta Gladiators were never in the hunt after none of their batsmen were able to convert good starts into big scores except Sarfaraz Ahmed, who top-scored with from 51 not out from 33 balls with eight fours.
Jake Weatherald (25), Hassan Khan (24) and Saim Ayub (19) were the other notable run-getters, while Kings’ fast bowlers Mohammad Ilyas (three for 39) and Arshad Iqbal (two for 39) shared wickets.
