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

[Hasan123]

Hyping would have been to ask from him averaging 48 with bat & 19 with ball ... for a full decade, in Test cricket.

He is asked only to score 35 at No. 8 with the tail adding 75 for last 3 wickets and bowl against the wind 23 overs for a figure of 2/56 in SENA countries ......

He struggles to get off the mark with the field back. But with a slip cordon he is going to have average 35 LOL.

Don't forget how Junaids theory on height which he never discusses with Faheem.

 

[Mueez]

Corona confirmed in your country?

Yeah, already 10 confirmed cases.

This will increase more as people will come back tomorrow from holiday...

KK can have their one-off day, and the KK cheerleaders also deserve some celebration after continuous losses since PSL 1. It's your day today, [MENTION=146948]Slim[/MENTION] [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] .

Sharjeel Khan saved them - no harm here, as Sharjeel seems to be getting into form and that's good for our T20i team.

Shadab continues to be terrible at bowling changes and reading the game as a fielding captain.

Mein kabsay Karachi ka fan bangaya?

 

[TeamPak95]

Karachi have a destructive top 4, and then Walton, Imad, and Iftikhar in the lower order. If the top order fires even a little, then KK will be a serious threat moving forward.

You are a Misbah cheerleader, so they have to be Karachi cheerleaders. Newton's 3rd law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

 

[Desprado123]

How can a person with right mind select Rizwan for T20?

Even Rizwan wants to quit playing t20 but genius Misbah wants him to play t20.

He just wanted to get Sarfarz out.

I swear this Misbha's last PSL as a coach and he will be kicked a national coach as well after PSL.

A very bitter post.

Seems like you couldn't stomach Imad's innings.

Rawalpindi, 1 March 2020:

Karachi Kings got their HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 campaign back on track with a resounding five wicket win over Islamabad United at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi on Sunday.

This was their second win in four games which now leaves them with four points.

Kings chased down 184 runs for a win in the penultimate over of the match courtesy a match winning half-century by Alex Hales and 30s by Sharjeel Khan, Cameron Delport and captain Imad Wasim.

Kings chase got off to the worst possible start when the top-ranked T20I batsman Babar Azam was run out without facing a ball in the opening over while attempting a quick single. United captain Shadab Khan’s direct throw beat Babar at the batting end which left Kings zero for one.

They were set back on track by a blazing 38 off 20 balls (three fours, four sixes) by Sharjeel who added 58 runs for the second wicket with Alex Hales.

Hales hit three fours and as many sixes in his 52 that came off 30 balls. Delport scored 38 off 28 balls (one four, three sixes) before becoming legendary fast bowler Dale Steyn’s first-ever HBL PSL wicket in what was his maiden appearance for United.

After Hales was dismissed by left-arm-spinner Ahmed Safi, Chadwick Walton 23 not out (17 balls, three fours) and captain Imad Wasim 32 not out (15 balls, two fours, two sixes) saw Kings home with eight balls to spare with an unbroken 48 run sixth wicket partnership.

Faheem Ashraf had a nightmarish match with the ball as he conceded 47 runs in 2.4 overs, with Imad setting the game by depositing him for back-to-back sixes in the 19th over and Walton hitting the match winning boundary of him a run later.

Earlier, Kings opted to field first after winning the toss. United were well served by opener Luke Ronchi who remained unbeaten with 85 off 58 balls. The wicketkeeper batsman struck nine fours and two sixes in his innings.

Ronchi added 106 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket partnership with Shadab who stroked 54 off 31 balls with the help of four sixes and three fours.

Shadab joined Ronchi at the fall of Colin Ingram (16)’s wicket with United placed at 77 for three at the completion of 10 overs.

Shadab completed his half-century on the last ball of the United innings when he deposited Umaid Asif’s delivery into the stands.

For Kings left-arm-spinner Umer Khan who dismissed Rizwan Hussain (22) was the pick of the bowlers with figures of one for 24 in four overs.

Scores in brief

Islamabad United 183 for 3, 20 overs (Luke Ronchi 85 not out, Shadab Khan 54 not out; Umer Khan 1-24, Imad Wasim 1-31)

Karachi Kings 187 for 5, 18.4 overs (Alex Hales 52, Sharjeel Khan 38, Cameron Delport 38; Ahmed Safi 1-21, Rumman Raees 1-27)

Result: Karachi Kings win by five wickets

Thank god finally thay managed a victory today.

Congrats to Karachi, but it's really worrying our national team keeper isn't even playing games. He needs to be playing these games to prove he's good enough for LOI including T20s. If he can't even hack it in PSL, I wonder what's the point. And for Chadwick Walton, he isn't exactly a batting superstar that you can say alright drop Rizwan.

Rizwan has done nothing in PSL, but has a great record in domestic limited overs which alone should have been enough to select him over Walton let alone for the good of Pakistan cricket.

By playing Walton they are wasting an overseas spot & even funnier thing is that Walton wasn't their 1st choice pick. he got picked as a replacement

Although Karachi`s run-chase was derailed a little towards the latter part of the innings due to the wickets that they lost, but they were always ahead in the game once Sharjheel provided them with a blistering start. Really good to see him play a handy cameo. I hope that he goes on to have a good tournament. Was a delight to watch before he was banned.
