Karachi Kings (237/4) defeat Peshawar Zalmi (214/5) by 23 runs to make it to the qualifiers of PSL X

[Asad T]

what a shot, so nice to see Saim back in the runs

 

[cricfan432]

Typical babar, “tu maar mein khara hun” except cover drive and flick here and there

 

[Asad T]

Saim is back in form, good news for Pct. Just dont make uneven bounce pitches, he is poor on that

still better than babar, he can't even hit on even wickets

 

[Barragan]

Babar is struggling to hit big

Can't believe Hesson is thinking of bringing him back for T20's

It means one of Saim or Fakhar don't bat in the top 3 and that's criminal

 

[Shehmir]

Great shot from Baber

 

[Asad T]

i highly doubt that hesson would want riz-bar

in his youtube channel about a month ago, he said that they should only be selected if they show they can strike at a good rate. and so far, there is no evidence of this

the biggest issue, is that i dont think hesson will have much say on selection matters

 

[Asad T]

jamal is the bowler pz needs to target, he is too wayward

 

[AAli98]

Good To See Someone Like Sir Alastiar Cook in the commentary panel.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Look who's approaching 40k runs

Nobody cares....

 

[cricfan432]

Nobody cares....

Babar is a villian of pct now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar is a villian of pct now

It wasn't even about Babar

 

[Asad T]

at least babar did one thing right, by promoting harris ahead of himself

 

[cricfan432]

It wasn't even about Babar

congrats on 40k runs

 

[Greenstorm]

Pakistan's world cup winning captain and a legendary man is in jail while few kilometers away Munir, the person who is keeping him in jail is enjoying a cricket game. Goes to show how unfair life can be.

 

[Asad T]

Cork: You can't give Babar any freebies; he will punish you

it's really the opposite mate

 

[Deewana Mastana]

congrats on 40k runs

Yaar jab hongay toh deina na lol

That's how that country has always been run since 1947

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a mockery of catching once again

 

[Barragan]

Saad Baig is proper trash

How do you not take that with gloves on?

 

[Greenstorm]

Even keeper is dropping easy catches. I haven't seen such poor fielding in any league other than this season of PSL.

 

[Shehmir]

Poor catching again

 

[Asad T]

Uff

 

[Greenstorm]

That's how that country has always been run since 1947

No. Fielding in PSL's initial seasons was top notch. Even foreign players were shocked.

 

[Asad T]

Babar 24 from 19

(out of which 2-3 fours were from balls pitched on leg stump)

when you need 14 an over is shockingly poor

 

[Sarmad]

BBabar is a poor captain. I wonder his bowling choices. He preferred maaz over talat in last 2 matches

Not bowled maaz sadaqat today , he was outstanding in last match. Bowing hussain talat instead

 

[Sarmad]

Maaz did well in last 2 matches. Today he didn't bowl a single over

 

[Asad T]

BBabar is a poor captain. I wonder his bowling choices. He preferred maaz over talat in last 2 matches

indeed, he also chose to bowl first ...

 

[Justcrazy]

Good partnership developing here

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi need 140 runs in 60 balls.

 

[Sarmad]

Zalmi struggling without Joseph. Apart from wood they don't have a genuine fast bowler

 

[Sarmad]

Ali Raza is good but inexperienced.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for Zalmi , the match should go down the wire

 

[Asad T]

Maaz did well in last 2 matches. Today he didn't bowl a single over

i'm guessing it was because of a match-up thing

maaz left arm spinner, woudl have been bowling into the arc of warner and then later, kushy. so i'm guessing that was the reasoning

but still, he def deserved an over or 2 especially considering that the other bowlers were also getting tonked

 

[Sarmad]

Ali raza bowled well today. He got vince out on a very good test match length ball. He was hitting the deck hard.

 

[Hellion]

Bobby is back. Smacking bowlers for fun

 

[Sarmad]

Finally babar changing gears. Very unusual

 

[Asad T]

Bobby is back. Smacking bowlers for fun

yeah, hes got his eye in now. at one stage he was 24 from 19

 

[Sarmad]

Iam surprised babar gearing the innings. Usually he makes the mess of the case by scoring at run a ball. He did that in the start but later he changed gears. Nice

 

[Asad T]

Iam surprised babar gearing the innings. Usually he makes the mess of the case by scoring at run a ball. He did that in the start but later he changed gears. Nice

usually he accelerates after making his 50, today started hitting after 30 loll

 

[Hellion]

Of all the useless foreign cricketers , TKC has to be the worst. I don't see anything in this guy.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Big blow , Saim gone

 

[Asad T]

Of all the useless foreign cricketers , TKC has to be the worst. I don't see anything in this guy.

Shai Hope, David Wiese as well

 

[cricfan432]

Iam surprised babar gearing the innings. Usually he makes the mess of the case by scoring at run a ball. He did that in the start but later he changed gears. Nice

Thats the case for most of his innings, today is just an exception

 

[Barragan]

i highly doubt that hesson would want riz-bar

in his youtube channel about a month ago, he said that they should only be selected if they show they can strike at a good rate. and so far, there is no evidence of this

the biggest issue, is that i dont think hesson will have much say on selection matters

I hope so he has no interest in bringing them back

I don't think Aqib will vouch for them either because he showed them the door in the NZ series, so that much is certain

If they do return, then it's definitely the call from Hesson

 

[Sarmad]

TKC needs to fire today he hasn't fired in the psl yet

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar striking at nearly 160 , this match can get close.

 

[Asad T]

Abbas making up for his drop by becoming the leading wicket taker of PSL 10

KK dominating the top 2

 

[Asad T]

I hope so he has no interest in bringing them back

I don't think Aqib will vouch for them either because he showed them the door in the NZ series, so that much is certain

If they do return, then it's definitely the call from Hesson

If anything, it will be Babar called up and not Riz

Harris looks to be the first T20 choice for keeper now

 

[cricfan432]

Let not this innings make you forget countless matches babar has lost us, its time to give reign to youngsters now

 

[Asad T]

so i think PZ vs LQ becomes a virtual knockout

 

[Asad T]

Warner needs to make sure the KK boys do serious fielding drills after this game

 

[Asad T]

Amir Sohail: Babar Azam is not known for his 6 hitting ability, so he needs to be compensated by TKC

So then why have Babar in the team if he can't hit 6's

 

[Barragan]

"Babar does not have the six hitting ability and that has to be compensated by TKC" Amir Sohail

In the modern game, every one in top 6 or 7 has to have the ability to hit sixes

This is exactly why Pakistan have been left so far behind in T20I

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi need 92 runs in 30 balls.

 

[Asad T]

"Babar does not have the six hitting ability and that has to be compensated by TKC" Amir Sohail

could not agree more. Rizwan is also in the same boat and the issue is that in 120 balls, these two (who can't hit) face at least 60 balls between them.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Some big shots from bobby

 

[Asad T]

this should be Jamal's last over

 

[Asad T]

Some big shots from bobby

he only does it when it's too late and the game is all but over

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is the best Babar has looked in an eternity

 

[Deewana Mastana]

TKC gone pathetic knock of 20 off 16

 

[Asad T]

our youth is lost

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bryant should've been sent in ahead of him with the rrr at 18

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

he only does it when it's too late and the game is all but over

They scored 52 in the last two. 69 off 24 is definitely gettable with 7 wickets in hand

 

[Justcrazy]

23 runs off that over , Babar is batting like Kohli

 

[Asad T]

They scored 52 in the last two. 69 off 24 is definitely gettable with 7 wickets in hand

They won't bowl Jamal again, so will be a really really tough ask now

 

[Shehmir]

Baber at his best

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar will be looking for 100 here

 

[Shehmir]

61runs required in 18 balls

 

[aqibcric]

w

Baber have to be sensible. PZ need a big partnership here

drop your players in todays match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mir Hamza on the ground that'll hurt a lot

 

[Shehmir]

Its very tough for PZ now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

PZ ain't winning this that's why I said one of Saim or Babar needed to hit a 15 ball 50.

 

[Shehmir]

Great over from Mir Hamza

 

[Asad T]

ouch, he's going to be out for a while

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Classic Babar knock (good innings in a losing cause)

 

[cricfan432]

This is the problem, babar cant win you matches, you always fall short. Bhai jab set hai tou jeeta ke ja

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

They won't bowl Jamal again, so will be a really really tough ask now

Most modern teams in the world would mow these runs down with ease on a pitch like this and with 7 wickets in hand. Not PZ I guess

 

[PakPremi]

Last two overs were too poor by PZ, no chance for them to win the match despite good effort by Babar and Saim.

 

[Shehmir]

Who will get MOM award today?

 

[Asad T]

Classic Babar knock (good innings in a losing cause)

the issue is, he only starts hitting when the game is already lost and there is no pressure

he is just eager to get 100 now
