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

[PakPremi]

Shadab 12 off 14 disrupted the flow of the innings.

Lol 14 balls affected 20 overs .
As if he did not score runs off them. Talat strike rate was only 124,a little better and Ingram going at same rate. Sometimes it is better to admit when you wrong. The pitch is sluggish and no one in IU team is playing better than Shadab in the tournament.

 

[Omer Baloch]

Ingram has been disappointing this season.

 

[Khan12]

Ingram pathetic knock comes to an end.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Zafar

 

[Khan12]

Faheem lost us matches with his bowling.

Now today with his pathetic running.

Yes Ingram was going to score 72 off the last 12 balls. Ingram has played a huge part in losing this game

[Abdullah719]

Badar really should have been playing.

Genius Misbah with his non - sensical decisions. Is there any statistics for the most number of changes to the playing 11? Islu seem to be changing the order every game. Most of the changes make no sense either.

Badar should have arguably been playing instead of the legendary Asif Ali who has 81 runs in 9 matches, let alone the current situation.

Meanwhile, the invincible team might be knocked out today

Ah but their invincibility was ruined by Shadab who became their best batsman with the highest strike rate of anyone apart from Dunk in the PSL, because he held back the likes of Ingram and Asif Ali. The fact that he only scored at 165+ is the reason Islu have only won 3 games.

 

[PakPremi]

And Ingram has killed it so far.

I did say at the beginning of thread there would be certain posters who would look doe opportunity to hate on Shadab and Sharjeel, even when others are doing similar or even worst.

 

[Darkrai]

I can't believe this guy is our coach.

United better get rid of these useless local players. Their overseas players have been carrying these mediocre players for too long now.

 

[Titan24]

Why did Islamabad United need 6.5 bowling options today? Musa, Rumman, Akif, Faheem, Zafar, Shadab, Talat. Batting is thin, needed another batsman.

I thought they would go with Saif Badar today and there will be only one of Faheem or Raees but I think they wanted cushion in bowling at the cost of batting.

 

[Titan24]

SOES he itritates you by his running. Young and such a laughish run up and poor fitness???

Yes he had troubles with fitness before but he is looking fit but run up still isn’t perfect though much better than the last game.

 

[PakPremi]

Zafar, Talat, Shadab, Musa are four Pakistani players to keep from this team.

 

[Khan12]

I did say at the beginning of thread there would be certain posters who would look doe opportunity to hate on Shadab and Sharjeel, even when others are doing similar or even worst.

As I keep saying we suffer from ghulam mentality. Pathetic.

 

[Forum363]

Great captaincy by Imad so far. Commentators appreciating the field positioning.

 

[Kroll]

136 - a score that Misbah will be mightly proud of.

 

[Abdullah719]

I thought they would go with Saif Badar today and there will be only one of Faheem or Raees but I think they wanted cushion in bowling at the cost of batting.

Not very clever to be worried about bowling when they just lost Munro and Ronchi who are their chief run-scorers.

 

[Titan24]

Zafar, Talat, Shadab, Musa are four Pakistani players to keep from this team.

Akif Javed should be kept as well in emerging category in my opinion

 

[Titan24]

True.

 

[PakPremi]

As I keep saying we suffer from ghulam mentality. Pathetic.

I do not about that but certainly we have lots of impartial posters who have picked players to hate no matter what, maybe something about them irritated them. Then there is Mamoon who wants to underplayed everything Pakistani. For him Pants and Pandaya are god gifts but Pak youngsters are useless.

 

[watson367]

Not defendable with faheem around

 

[Shoaibbtt]

With that IU have no chance. Sharjeel and Babar will make fun of this score.

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi should win this easily

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Islamabad's bowling is too pathetic to defend this.

Asad Shafiq joins Multan Sultans

Lahore, 14 March 2020:

Pakistan international Asad Shafiq joined Multan Sultans’ camp as a silver category player on Saturday.

Quetta Gladiators included Omair bin Yousaf as an emerging player.

Asad’s and Omair’s inclusions were approved by the Event Technical Committee which includes PCB CEO Wasim Khan, Bazid Khan, Marina Iqbal, Sameer Khosa and Dr Sohail Saleem.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel goes hard and gets top edge

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel relying on boundaries .

 

[watson367]

Sharjeel looking at this target like a degh of biryani

 

[Hawkeye]

There's a reason why Shadab Khan is such a poor bowling captain.

You need pace OFF the ball.

Why open with a pacer? A spinner could have really helped.

Anyway, the match is lost for ISLU.

 

[Green Patriot]

20 off the first

Oh asad shafiq how exciting

 

[Justcrazy]

20 from 1st over , Sharjeel is killed the chase straightaway

 

[Titan24]

Not the length to ball to Sharjeel. Musa made the same mistake in his T20 international debut as well against the likes of Warner and Finch

 

[Kroll]

Sharjeel in form

 

[Justcrazy]

Zafar Gohar to bowl now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharjeel dealing in boundaries only !

I dont think so anything works on song Sharjeel.

 

[Titan24]

Poor bowling.

 

[raashidkhan89079]

Sharjeel bringing all his rage who destroyed his career

 

[watson367]

Gully cricket atm

 

[Titan24]

143.7 kph from Akif

 

[Kroll]

Sharjeel bringing all his rage who destroyed his career

Sharjeel has only himself to blame but yeah, dude's trying to make up for lost time.

 

[PakPremi]

Sharjeel bringing all his rage who destroyed his career

And also replying to all negative Pak posters. Of course he would struggle in the internationals but he is the best hitter we have. So have to give him chance and confidence

 

[Justcrazy]

sharjeel 32 from 9 balls !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is below run a ball

 

[Kroll]

This is entertaining stuff from Sharjeel!

 

[Justcrazy]

And also replying to all negative Pak posters. Of course he would struggle in the internationals but he is the best hitter we have. So have to give him chance and confidence

He can give you flying start , if he can stay in OD for 8 - 10 overs , you will have a good base. Its worth trying him.

 

[watson367]

How old is sharjeel?

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

How old is sharjeel?

i guess 32 atleast

 

[HGhazanfar]

Islamabad deserve this, Misbah saying 150 is enough 180 was minimum here

 

[Titan24]

Sharjeel playing with Pak white ball captain and playing against national Coach’s team, good time to leave an impression

 

[Titan24]

How old is sharjeel?

30

 

[Kroll]

i guess 32 atleast

Oh, might be too young to get into Misbah's team then.

 

[watson367]

Phainta

Surely Misbah being the Head Coach and former captain of the franchise and having immense influence within the IU setup can help guide the young captain on such tactics.

 

[PakPremi]

Oh, might be too young to get into Misbah's team then.

Lol
It's a shame Pak lost 3 years of Sharjeel blistering batting.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Oh, might be too young to get into Misbah's team then.

he came into scene in his captaincy in Islu so if all well's between them we might see him soon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kings need 86 runs in 96 balls. RRR: 5.37

Karachi motoring along here

 

[Hawkeye]

Surely Misbah being the Head Coach and former captain of the franchise and having immense influence within the IU setup can help guide the young captain on such tactics.

You can advise. His on-field decisions have been atrocious.

This Shadab captaincy experiment has to end.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

sharjeel toying with them..
hitting for fun

 

[PakPremi]

KK has become formidable team.

 

[Khan12]

From winning to potentially finishing last. Only shameless misbah is capable or achieving this feat. Clown of the highest order.

 

[Titan24]

That is just ruthless stuff from Babar and Sharjeel

 

[Khan12]

Surely Misbah being the Head Coach and former captain of the franchise and having immense influence within the IU setup can help guide the young captain on such tactics.

Lol. Let me guess he can't help from dugout etc. He can't do this or that.

 

[watson367]

Shot

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

This Shadab captaincy experiment has to end.

I don't think so .
he has taken some bold decisions and some have paid off cut him some slack its his first experience let him learn.. I'm sure he will come back stronger in next edition

 

[Hawkeye]

Yeah, the most successful PSL captain and personality is a clown.

What are you then, Khan12? A shameless broken record.

 

[PakPremi]

You can advise. His on-field decisions have been atrocious.

This Shadab captaincy experiment has to end.

There was no mistake not bowling Spinner first. Spinner would have gone for plenty, as he did in the second over of the match.

 

[Titan24]

Good length and ball from Akif Javed

 

[Khan12]

You can advise. His on-field decisions have been atrocious.

This Shadab captaincy experiment has to end.

Lol. Only misbah is capable of ruining a team and proving again. Done it with Pakistan and now with Islamabad. Shameless person.

 

[Hawkeye]

I don't think so .
he has taken some bold decisions and some have paid off cut him some slack its his first experience let him learn.. I'm sure he will come back stronger in next edition

He's very animated on the field, another clue that he's not calm enough to think rationally. Runs to the bowler very often - another bad sign.

Bowling changes did not improve throughout the tournament.

We have to bring in someone else as captain next season.

 

[watson367]

Sharjeel is better than fakhar so I guess he deserves a chance

Best PAK T20 top 4. Can win us at World T20.

 

[Mueez]

Sharjeel has been in great touch since last two matches.

Well played.

 

[watson367]

^^Things heating up

 

[Justcrazy]

sharjeel gone.

 

[Green Patriot]

I hope Musa's injury isnt serious. That looked painful.

 

[ZamanFan]

It has been a pathetic T20 match, only thing I looked forward to was Akif bowling and Sharjeel bat.

Sharjeel literally humiliated Islamabad on the same wicket Islamabad United batsmen were struggling to hit.

 

[Hawkeye]

Too late.

Good to see Sharjeel back in form though.

These are the best available players only if Umar akmal hadn't screwed it up.He would have been perfect no.5
