Karachi Kings (236/6) defeat Multan Sultans (234/3) by four wickets in a high-scoring thriller in PSL X

[Nikhil_cric]

Game has changed since Gul and Malinga days even though they were experts. Khushdil was batting so deep his back foot was almost touching the stumps! Bowlers need to be smarter now for sure.

This. That era is over.

 

[Asad T]

KK will need a 40 ball ton from someone.

Vince 96* from 41

You frekin oracle

 

[jamie smith fan]

Anything can happen still.

 

[Kianig89]

The standard of PSL is atrocious, very disappointed

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Easiest trick to pull in English cricket is to label yourself a death bowler. You can bowl mince but the pundits lap it up and make excuses as the bowler is a "death specialist".

He used to be a good death bowler and his numbers showed it. But that time has long since passed

 

[hafizexpress]

Key is to be precise with yorkers. Bumrah, Gull and Malinga excelled at that.

Modern players don't understand this. Shaheen, Rauf and Naseem all had the potential but they don't use their brains

 

[Mohraheem]

Can both of these teams lose?

Only Chacha will lose

 

[jamie smith fan]

Kk need 25 off 16
60-40 in favor of kk.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He used to be a good death bowler and his numbers showed it. But that time has long since passed

Pre 2021, yes he was.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

MS cracking under the pressure as expected

 

[Mohraheem]

Chacha should be dropped after dropping Vince catch

 

[jamie smith fan]

Scintillating stuff from vince.
A century of note from him.

 

[Mohraheem]

Vince please sign your bat and send it to Misbah Chacha and their fans

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Game has changed since Gul and Malinga days even though they were experts. Khushdil was batting so deep his back foot was almost touching the stumps! Bowlers need to be smarter now for sure.

I can tell you Khushdil would not have been able to hit these sixes off Bumrah or peak-Malinga and peak-Gul

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This must be a record chase in Karachi if it happens.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What an innings from James Vince. Honestly had no hope Karachi would even come close to chasing this.

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan's innings was too slow on this pitch.

 

[Mohraheem]

I can tell you Khushdil would not have been able to hit these sixes off Bumrah or peak-Malinga and peak-Gul

Chacha never did either.. so he is the only option

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Multan bottled it

 

[Darkrai]

100

This is the problem with rizbar's 100s, someone else in the opposition will likely score it quicker.

Same thing happened when Babar scored a 100 in PSL.

 

[Greenstorm]

The standard of PSL is atrocious, very disappointed

Short boundaries are a big issue for me. But thats the norm these days with most leagues other than BBL.

 

[Kianig89]

So despite scoring a century Rizwan will get a learn :seh

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What an innings from James Vince. Honestly had no hope Karachi would even come close to chasing this.

Same

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I can tell you Khushdil would not have been able to hit these sixes off Bumrah or peak-Malinga and peak-Gul

I am not saying they would have had got smashed for three sixes. What I mean is that the era of pinpoint Yorkers being enough is over.

 

[Greenstorm]

Vince gone.

 

[Sachin fan]

Clearly Rizwan was way slow despite playing more than half of the innings (63 balls), if everyone played like that, MS would have scored around 205 runs

 

[Rana]

Needless run out

 

[Kianig89]

English batter showing how far off is Pakistan cricket in modern era, like a motorway vs Katcha road

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This has been a fantastic runchase. Despite losing wickets Karachi never took their foot off the gas. That's the key to tall runchases in T20s

If you keep hitting boundaries sooner or later opposition begins to crack

 

[jamie smith fan]

A twist in the take???

 

[Justcrazy]

100 for Vince , stunning hitting by Karachi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Top knock Vince 101 run out 42 balls

 

[Rana]

These remain freshies should get 14 off 12 but you never know

 

[PakFan2010]

That was selfless from Vince.

Always better to run hard when you have wickets in hand.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Chacha never did either.. so he is the only option

Chacha is finished so he is not really relevant here. But full credit to Khushdil nonetheless

 

[jamie smith fan]

Can ms pull off a miracle??

 

[Justcrazy]

In IPL Hyderabad chased down 245 , here Karachi chasing down 235 .

It shows there is just nothing left for bowlers , no balance between bat and ball.

 

[Greenstorm]

I am not saying they would have had got smashed for three sixes. What I mean is that the era of pinpoint Yorkers being enough is over.

I still think there is place for it. Precise yorker at 140+ kph is hardest delivery to hit. M Wasim bowled one over vs SA in WC22 with 6 precise yorkers and changed the game in our favour. Bumrah thrives on that. Harris Rauf could have been Bumrah level bowler if he could nail yorkers.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Oh Karachi are imploding here.

 

[Kianig89]

David Warner the freaking Aussie mentality at display

 

[Justcrazy]

Kings need 13 runs in 9 balls.
two quick wickets , is there some twist left

 

[Kianig89]

The future of bowling is very bleak in Pakistan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Considering the pitch, subpar knocks( in terms of strike rate )by all domestic batters except Kamran Ghulam

 

[Rana]

Khushdil whah the bloody hell man!

You see it through! Chand maara tenu main!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No excuse for Niazi not to finish this.

 

[jamie smith fan]

10 off 9 needed

 

[Rana]

What a wasteman Khushdil!

 

[Kianig89]

KG is being ruined by Aqib and Riz

He needs a long rope at No. 4 in Pakistan team

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I am not saying they would have had got smashed for three sixes. What I mean is that the era of pinpoint Yorkers being enough is over.

I don't think there was ever really an era to begin with. There are always very few bowlers who can execute them with pinpoint accuracy. At the moment there is only one

 

[Rana]

Taking this all the way to the last over!

 

[Justcrazy]

Not much batting to come , a wicket here can put batsmen under pressure.

 

[Greenstorm]

Typical KPK chokers

Racist at heart

 

[NeVerMind]

HappyHeart..the new breed of finishers for Pakistan like Chacha...who are never able to finish a match for Pakistan!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Considering the pitch, subpar knocks( in terms of strike rate )by all domestic batters except Kamran Ghulam

Khushdil

 

[Rana]

Racist at heart

No it’s just pure honesty man!

They are not mentally strong enough there. Nothing against the people and players abilities

 

[Darkrai]

Chacha's contribution

 

[Greenstorm]

The future of bowling is very bleak in Pakistan

in international cricket*.

 

[jamie smith fan]

7 off 7 needed

 

[Kianig89]

Who is the replacement for KW

 

[Asad T]

poor fumble by ifti allows the batters to come back for 2
@Mohraheem

 

[jamie smith fan]

No it’s just pure honesty man!

They are not mentally strong enough there. Nothing against the people and players abilities

Maybe u dont know boom boom.

 

[Rana]

Oh God this Niazi wants to do a Misbah chawli doesn’t he?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

They are trying to get out but unfortunately scored two in the process.

 

[mominsaigol]

No it’s just pure honesty man!

They are not mentally strong enough there. Nothing against the people and players abilities

What are you talking about? Their still 33 of em out their. Players that the world has yet to see, or exist.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Khushdil

Subpar on this pitch. Started way too slow.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 from last over required.

 

[Kianig89]

Ifti the bogeyman pathetic

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Can Jordan redeem himself?

 

[Greenstorm]

No it’s just pure honesty man!

They are not mentally strong enough there. Nothing against the people and players abilities

No one is mentally strong in Pakistan cricket nowadays.

 

[Kianig89]

What purpose does 250 plays 250 serves

 

[jamie smith fan]

5 off 5 needed now.

 

[Rana]

What are you doing???

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Oh flip dot ball. Choke seems on.

 

[Greenstorm]

Whats the name of that KK director in glasses ?

 

[mominsaigol]

MS can still win from here. Jordan is probs the only one who can help em win

 

[Rana]

Zindabaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!

 

[jamie smith fan]

Kk win.
A game to cherish really.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nah man this Jordan is a joke. Should be deported.

 

[mominsaigol]

MS can still win from here. Jordan is probs the only one who can help em win

Never mind lol

 

[Kianig89]

Jordan Vince Willey Salt Munro ,same old stuff PSL is serving every year
