Karachi Kings (176/8) defeat their arch rivals Lahore Qalandars (175/6) by 2 wickets in a thrilling encounter to claim their second win of PSL 9

[oatmeal]

3rd wicket down

 

[Rana]

Hor Nikalo Sharjeel, Imad aur Aamir ko!

 

[Rana]

PZ’s 2 dropped points against KK will cost them

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lahore Qalandars are all over Karachi Kings while defending 176

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jahandad could be a future prospect as an all rounder.

Needs to work on his bowling non bowling arm and follow through. Some adjustments and could get his speed upto 135-140kph.

Also work on his batting and work on his feet and movement and hitting range. Off side game needs development.

A good coach and in around 2 years of work he could be a decent all rounder for Pakistan when he'll be around 23 or 25 depending on his actual age.

 

[Blackbradman]

Sams is so useless

Sams, Chris Jordan, Neesham are fraud T20 specialists..

 

[oatmeal]

Nawaz almost took out the ump

 

[Rana]

zaman tripe

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Seems like Lahore enroute to their first win this PSL

 

[Ali T]

Lahore have a good bowling attack and Karachi already 4 down with bits and pieces players left.
Seems like it'll be a tough chase.

 

[Rana]

lol match winner

 

[oatmeal]

Huge gap between bat and pad in that bowled

 

[Nasty Naz]

Man Zaman is so good with those inswinging yorkers. Had a similar wicket last game too IIRC.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was a lovely delivery by Zaman

Let's see if they can get Pollard early

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Karachi Kings are such a meme

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Polly starts with a 6

 

[oatmeal]

First ball 6 for Pollard

 

[Nasty Naz]

lolz Pollard 1st ball six. An easy 100+ meters six. Makes it look so easy.

 

[topspin]

lol match winner

Haider Azhar must have picked him. Losers will always accompany themselves with other losers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf with an economy of over 9 in PSL over 60 games

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf, his attribution and skills have consistently gone down over the last year or so now.

Hasn't still worked on anything to improve or do differently.

 

[oatmeal]

LQ need to get Pollard out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik needs to stick till the end if they're to win.

The rest will be the big hitters.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

23k crowd in Lahore today

 

[Rana]

Malik no shots against pacers

 

[Ali T]

Malik needs to stick till the end if they're to win.

The rest will be the big hitters.

Based on my observation Malik always looks very solid but somehow hardly ever finishes of matches.
In my opinion his ideal batting position is number 3.

 

[oatmeal]

Pollard needs to get a move on.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Him and his team doesn't think so otherwise.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

85 off 48 is gonna be a task if Pollard stays for a good 20-25 balls then could be Karachi's game.

 

[Rana]

What a poor ball

Just bowl straight to Malik, he won’t hit pacers

 

[Rana]

Jahhandad soft bowler like Anwar Ali and Ammad Butt

 

[Nasty Naz]

Still a doable chase for Karachi. Some batting still left with Sams who has a 151 SR in his career. Irfan Khan is a decent bat too.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Only Pollard is the thread here, Malik is just a blessing in disguise.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Score Updates

LQ 101/4 after 13 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik giving Pollard the strike

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is KP's last PSL.

 

[Rana]

Raufa’s bowled alright tbh

 

[oatmeal]

Malik has to find the big shots

 

[Rana]

Rauf’s chawwals starting again

You are bowling so well pitching it up, what’s the need of short balls that can be top edged for 4 or 6?

 

[Rana]

Malik has to find the big shots

Against pacers

Has been the case for 15 years

 

[Nasty Naz]

Lahore needs to bowl 2 overs from Linde/Ahsan/Jahandad combined. I would think those are the overs these guys are going to target.

 

[oatmeal]

Against pacers

Has been the case for 15 years

He has to try

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Raza hasn't been used today by Lahore

Unless he's got an injury or something

 

[Nasty Naz]

The charge is on now. One huge over will make it tough for Lahore to defend this.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Back to back 6's by Pollard

What power one handed six

 

[oatmeal]

Game on. LQ are under pressure

 

[Nasty Naz]

Even Raza hasn't been used today by Lahore

Unless he's got an injury or something

They've stopped using spinners. That's what Malik & Pollard have been waiting for.

Pollard going hard to Jahandad regardless. Outrageous six from Pollard there.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pollard going hard to Jahandad regardless. Outrageous six from Pollard there.

Jahandad isn't yet someone who can bowl 4 overs and get away with it.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Run rate required is basically 10 an over in the last 5. Lahore has 4 overs left from Shaheen/Rauf/Zaman combined and one that will have to go to a spinner.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Pollard to welcome Shaheen back into the attack

Marina can't even pronounce his name properly

 

[Nasty Naz]

Man the power Pollard has crazy power. Sixes with such ease.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shaheen bowling at 144kph. That's a positive sign at least

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen and Rauf have so far struggled this PSL just when they're needed to step up the most.

They will struggle to win much if this continues.

 

[oatmeal]

Pollard gone. Still karachi's game to lose

 

[Rana]

Big wicket but I think Pollard has done enough

Please not another embarrassing loss to KK

 

[oatmeal]

Not out

 

[Rana]

jahandad will have to bowl 1 over

 

[RidiculousMan]

Last ball was 145.7KPH Yorker. That is the speed we all knew Shaheen from

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Wow that was sensational, KK looked down and out.

 

[Rana]

Abdullah Shfique as usual

Bottling a catch

 

[oatmeal]

Haris hasn't got a wicket but has bowled well

 

[Nasty Naz]

It's time for Sams to show his worth. SR is 151 in T20's and this is what he has been brought for.

 

[Rana]

One of the worst attitudes to the sport

Abdullah Shafique

 

[oatmeal]

Haris hasn't got a wicket but has bowled well

Now he got wicket too. Sams gone

 

[oatmeal]

Now he got wicket too. Sams gone

Correction : Malik

 

[Nasty Naz]

Malik flopping vs pace as usual. Great catch by Shaheen though.

 

[Rana]

Really well bowled Roofa

 

[Ali Active]

Now he got wicket too. Sams gone

malik*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

RVD takes a good catch of Pollard.

Had it been a Pakistan player wouldn't been caught

 

[oatmeal]

Keeper screwed that up.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Kinda surprised Malik even attempted a big shot against Rauf. It's his last over and Lahore will eventually have to bowl a spinner.

 

[oatmeal]

Did the commie Say Imran Khan Niazi lol. Army is sending a person to the booth

 

[Nasty Naz]

That's gotta be a no ball. It was like shoulder height.

EDIT: its chest height but in real time it looked even higher.

 

[adi_62941]

Malik will remain same even after playing cricket for 2 decades. He is a walking wicket against any fast bowler

 

[oatmeal]

That's gotta be a no ball. It was like shoulder height.

He was way down the crease. Can't give those no ball

 

[Rana]

come on Shaheen see this home

 

[oatmeal]

22 from 15 should be doable

 

[Nasty Naz]

Easily, the best part of this match has to be Shaheen's pace regardless of outcome. He was consistently 140-145 clicks and touched close to 147. That is the Shaheen we know and hopefully it means he is truly 100% now.

 

[oatmeal]

If Linde is injured, the other spinner will have to bowl the last over

 

[oatmeal]

Brilliant yorker. Sams gone
