Karachi Kings defeat Islamabad United by 4 wickets to seal semi-final qualification in PSL 5

That was clearly out and Walton hung around.

Pathetic player who has no business playing in the PSL.
 
I think ISLU did all they could to win this.

Even if they lose, it's OK - it was the unreal hitting from Sharjeel upfront that really damaged us.

Good choking KK in the middle - brought back Misbah memories.
 
Probably the worst game of PSL, they should've called off the tournament. Pathetic batting from both teams. It was 150-160 average runs wicket.

Sharjeel and babar were smackingthe bowl pretty easy, if there was anything wrong in the wicket KArachi batsmen would'nt have been able to time the bowl. Imad's innings are even worse than what Wahab did yesterday. He came up the order and destroyed this tram's chances. Really fishy innings by him and Delport.
 
there will be no "classic Misbah choke", the clown and his pathetic team are gonna get booted out. :36:
 
Pathetic Shadab.

If not captaincy.

He'll lose us with his bowling.

Truly an all-rounder.
 
LEg spinner giving full tosses rofl both team captains are playing for the opponent team.Karachi should give captaincy to Umaid
 
Shadab and Misbah should both be sacked.

Seen enough to conclude that Pakistan in LO will go nowhere under Misbah.
 
Hahhahaha, lol at Misbah and his pathetic leadership and team.
 
I am not a fond of spinners bowling any of the last 2 overs
 
Wow Umaid Asif.

Karachi win and its pretty all thanks to Sharjeel and his monster start.
 
Misbah can now concentrate on his grand plans on how to destroy the Pak team now.
 
Well, guess my prediction of KK vs ISLU finals is scrapped. Well done Umaid, KK.

Really?

He is defending a score of 136 and did an incredible job of it especially after the bashing his bowlers took after the first few overs. Made good change bowling wise, got the choke job going and even bowled himself. 19th over wasn't his best over but it happens to every bowler.

Not sure why people feel the need to be so ridiculous and over the top.
 
Sharjeel was the difference in my opinion. Maximized the scoring against new ball which was the key on this wicket
 
I wont be surprised of Faheem Ashraf is released by IU next season and also wont ge surprised if he is picked by another team
 
Shameless misbah. What a pathetic humam he is. The man responsible for this. From winners to not even qualifying out of 6 teams
. All you need to know about this classless human being. A true backstabber.
 
So is PZ has also almost qualified to the semis and it is between QG and LQ now or there is still chance of PZ to be eliminated?

Misbah must have taught him how to beg like last season. So he should be fine.
 
Shadab and Zafar bowling made it a close game, but in the end score was too low to defend with super start Sharjeel gave.
 
MS and LQ have destroyed the oligopoly of the 4 teams which used to play every play off
 
IU was depending on Ronchi THE REAL COACH. Tjhey were really stupid to replace Dean Jones with Misbah.

Great gain for KArachi now they are into semi finals .

The only team that was threatening PZ was IU because of their superior NRR so I reckon they are through.

QG have got to hope LQ loses tomorrow and they win their game to get through otherwise if QG loses then they are out regardless of if LQ wins or losses.

Still a fight to the death
 
So many talented coaches out there and we went for one who can't develop batters and has a record of backing oldies.

He needs to be sacked. And hopefully he doesn't have too much longer as Pakistan coach.

No let's blame shadab and everyone but misbah. Once a losser always a losser.

To be fair Shadab was bowling well but it’s probably never a good idea to play spin in the back end which has been IU’s undoing.
 
Someone in BoG needs to give a dressing down to Wasim Khan for his decision of making Misbah as coach/chief selector. One of the worst decisions ever taken in history of Pakistan cricket.

Pakistan is going to lose WT20 even before traveling to that tournament.
 
Can someone explain to me why people are shaking hands in the presentation ceremony. Plain stupid!

Maybe shadab shouldn't have bowled that over. But it was a bold move that over was going to win or lose the game. But when you have rubbish in rumman it was always worth it.

If quetta goes bonkers vs karachi they might qualify but, highly unlikely

Hmm...I am from Peshawar but live in Islamabad since my childhood. I was supporting KK against ISLU for the sake of PZ though I don't think PZ can win the title because of their overrated pace attack. They were phenomenal when they had Sameen Gul, Umaid Asif, Tymal Mills, Shaun Tait, Chris Jordan and Muhammad Asghar but now I think they don't stand a chance with pacers like Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Rahat Ali and Aamir Khan. Their batting has not been up to the mark either apart from some good innings from Kamran, Malik and Haider Ali. I still think that first two editions of PSL were quite competitive though in UAE.

No chance for QG.
Check their NRR.
