Karachi Kings defeat Islamabad United by five wickets in 14th match of PSL 5

[Titan24]

Sharjee is making it look like Hong Kong super sixes.

 

[Syed1]

Lol aek ke baad aek trundler ahrahay hain IU ke liyay.... making fatty look better than he is

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looking shaky since the first match. Dont see him coming back in the national team if he keeps this up. Also shocked on how this guy hasnt lost a KG even after getting banned for a considerable amount of time.

In fact he put on more weight in the time he was away and only started working out and uploading videos of him in the gym getting ready for PSL a month before it started.

 

[Shams123]

Ideal top 3 for Pak
Babar
Sharjeel
Haider

 

[Rana]

Watch and learn Fakhar Zaman

 

[sjahmed23]

Sharjeel better hack than Fakhar any day of the week.

 

[Titan24]

IU needs a spinner here

 

[watson367]

Faheem serving pies

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Steyn talking to Faheem and he just stares at his face with no words lol

 

[Titan24]

Sharjeel better hack than Fakhar any day of the week.

I think Fakhar on his day is better against spinners

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Same height prolly thats why.

Plus Gun barrel straight and no mugs with bat

Barring a couple of balls, he's looked a lot more fluent in this game.

He just needs more time at the crease and regain his fitness. Pakistan need him in this year's WT20.

He wont be facing bowlers of Faheem and Musa level in international cricket

Agreed. Unfortunately we dont have many aggressive openers

Pak can not keep giving 2nd chances to fixers, makes it seem ok to fix matches because you can always come back.

 

[Rana]

One more over or Steyn v Sharjeel please!

 

[Darkrai]

Don't expect anything from this rubbish bowling

 

[Slim]

WTHHH FAHEEEM

Don't serve that to Sharjeel THE BOSSS!!!! He's gonna butcher us tonight!!

HAHAHA always lovely to see this hack get smashed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Out?

 

[Titan24]

I heard something

 

[Hawkeye]

GONE YES.

Sharjeel was the real danger here.

ISLU to win from here on hopefully.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone Sharjeel

 

[neonoir]

Sharjeel gone what a catch Ronchi!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good take by Ronchi as the ball was dying

 

[watson367]

Fat fixer gone.

 

[Syed1]

Oh no Naidoo here time to mute the match

 

[Titan24]

Rumman with key wicket. A very handy T20 bowler

 

[Mueez]

Looks like it is out

 

[Rana]

Soft dismissal

 

[Hawkeye]

Just imagine.

Sharjeel and Kamran Akmal opening for us at World T20!

100 in 8 overs.

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab also proving himelf in 4th facet namely captaincy. Good review and communication with team b4 reviewing.

 

[topspin]

He wont be facing bowlers of Faheem and Musa level in international cricket

Yes and he averaged 50 with a strike rate of 120+ against Starc and Cummins in the last ODI series played in Australia.

 

[topspin]

Good return to form by Sharjeel. Well played.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Has Deano been carrying a blue book this year?

 

[Darkrai]

Sharjeel flopped again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just imagine.

Sharjeel and Kamran Akmal opening for us at World T20!

100 in 8 overs.

What's with the obsession with a 40 year old Kamran?

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Sharjeel flopped again

Yup

 

[Hawkeye]

Rumman with key wicket. A very handy T20 bowler

Yep.

But scoring rate not going down.

 

[watson367]

Get Hales and Islu can win this

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sharjeel flopped again

That is his return to form for some

 

[Syed1]

Next batsman is Ifti chacha good luck Karachi

 

[topspin]

Pak can not keep giving 2nd chances to fixers, makes it seem ok to fix matches because you can always come back.

There was no conclusive evidence that he agreed or participated in any kind of fixing.

 

[PakPremi]

Yup

No he did not he did his job and gave them a superb start. This is T20 not everyone is going to hit a century.

 

[watson367]

Same Kami who flopped in 3 matches in the WI t20 series after Psl?

 

[Hawkeye]

What's with the obsession with a 40 year old Kamran?

Have you been watching domestic and PSL?

Who's the best opener? Who has 3 centuries in the PSL, 50% of all the 100s scored? Who just scored a 100 in this year's PSL? And one of the highest scorers in domestic this season?

Now, change your train of thought - you need to think along the lines - who are the best openers who can play at a fast strike rate and smash the bowlers during the first 5 overs.

Proven answer on recent form: Kamran Akmal.

For his partner, the only capable one is Sharjeel Khan, and he seems to be coming back in form.

 

[neonoir]

Hales key here, if he gets going can take Karachi through to the end

 

[Titan24]

Good over from Shadab

 

[Mueez]

Finally Shadab using his googly.

Wonder why he didn’t use it in the last couple of series.

 

[MRSN]

that has flewn:Waqar

 

[Green Patriot]

Aath point six.
Nahi nahi.
Aath point chaaai

What is this?? Is Urdu commentary the new strategic timeout for commentary or what?
Its aath aasharyaa chaaai btw.

 

[PakPremi]

Hawkeye trust me Kami will never do anything in T20I or ODIs now and apart from couple innings has never done it.

 

[Titan24]

Finally Shadab using his googly.

Was low on confidence and couldnt get his radar right

us ne short ball kari..jab k right word ki hai. some poor urdu

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Ramiz saying Faheem looks like Badshah Aurangzaib with his hairstyle and beard

 

[Syed1]

Yeh Delport hummay lay dobbay ga

 

[Mueez]

Was low on confidence and couldnt get his radar right

But looks like he has regained his confidence.

Good to see!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looks like it is going to be KK unless they get Hales

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Pak can not keep giving 2nd chances to fixers, makes it seem ok to fix matches because you can always come back.

Pretty much in agreement with that. Although sharjeel has done well, we shouldn’t be giving him chances but he probably will get a chance sadly.

 

[PakPremi]

But looks like he has regained his confidence.

Good to see!

Bowled well last match as well.

 

[Titan24]

Delport is struggling at the moment

 

[Syed1]

KK have to win this match otherwise we will go bottom... and only LQ deserves to be at the bottom. We cannot rob them of it.

 

[Syed1]

Delport playing Misbah in Mohali type of innings.

 

[Titan24]

KK have to win this match otherwise we will go bottom... and only LQ deserves to be at the bottom. We cannot rob them of it.

LQ is yet to win a match so KK is safe as of now

 

[Titan24]

Maybe one over from Steyn?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Atrocious bowling by IU fast bowlers.

 

[Mueez]

Bowled well last match as well.

Yes.

Always encouraging to see when promising youngsters perform to their potential.

 

[Hawkeye]

Faheem the destroyer (for his own team) BACK!

 

[Titan24]

Faheem has been poor. Maybe Safi needs to be given an over

 

[Green Patriot]

KK have to win this match otherwise we will go bottom... and only LQ deserves to be at the bottom. We cannot rob them of it.

But why? We still have 2 points. They have none.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why isn't Shadab trying Abdullah instead of Faheem?

 

[Hasan123]

Amad dropped but Faheem still playing. Rubbish from Shadab and Misbah.

 

[Syed1]

Thank you Rana Jee

 

[watson367]

Where is Zafar Gohar??? Islu completely wasting him on the bench

 

[Green Patriot]

us ne short ball kari..jab k right word ki hai. some poor urdu

Its a proper farce.

 

[Hawkeye]

Faheem has been poor. Maybe Safi needs to be given an over

Faheem has been poor, yet Shadab keeps bowling him.

He's doing a really terrible job as a bowling captain.

 

[Darkrai]

Faheem is done. His luck of picking random wicket here and there will run out soon.

 

[Syed1]

But why? We still have 2 points. They have none.

After this match we would have played 1 more match than them, so if they win the next match we will swap places.

 

[MRSN]

lolz good to see Faheem getting phainty. PSL in Pakistan has exposed legends of PSL in UAE like Faheem and Nawaz.

 

[watson367]

Faheem the 12th man for the opposition.
