[Abdullah]

When will Amir Yamin get a game!
Bhattti has started OK so unlikelt today

 

[hailian]

Hoping Lahore will include Delport, Azhar and Ghulam Mudassar today to replace Elliot, Rizwan and Irfan jr. Umer could take on the gloves.

 

[Speedster777]

Lets see if youngsters Ghulam Mudassar, Yameen and Shinwari get a chance.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

[Sub-Zero]

Lahore Blunders vs Karachi Zimbabwe
gonna be a close one

 

[super hitter]

Lahore is going to win, they have delport, Chris green is in...

Rana Naveed: "Although I am a Lahore fan but don't why I have a feeling that Gayle will dent us today." If you're Rana Naveed, the ex Pakistan fast bowler, I will take your word for it.

 

[super hitter]

Just 1 more thrilling match in this PSL, and the excitement will be back after the spot fixing ruined it..

 

[Madplayer]

Can never decide who to root for when its Karachi vs Lahore :

 

[super hitter]

Kevin peitersen about KArachi Kings

KP from GB: "I think the makeup of the Karachi Kings batting line-up is all wrong, Shahzaib Hasan should be dropped to allow Sangakkara to open with Gayle. This allows Azam & Bopara to bat at 3 & 4 with Malik floating in case of a collapse and Pollard held to finish the innings. " Okay, but 'KP from Great Britain' aren't the right credentials for leadership decisions, as we've learnt in the past.

[cricketerB94]

Last time Karachi won because we had Gayle and they had Tannu. This time, it's just the opposite. Watch out Karachi waalon. You are going to loose badly in this one.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Karachi bowling first, I think Lahore will lose now

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Karachi all the way,,, Qalandar ain't gonna win today....
When its Karachi they'll always lose....

 

[Sub-Zero]

Usama and Shinwari playing today
HYPE!!!

 

[Syed1]

Good luck

 

[Syed1]

Even though I want KK to win, I want Fakhar Zaman to smash us to all parts.


Pakistan > KK

 

[super hitter]

Karachi bowling first, I think Lahore will lose now

finally we won a toss!

and this should be an easy win

 

[cricketerB94]

Teams?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Is shazaib playing ?

 

[Sub-Zero]

finally we won a toss!

and this should be an easy win

If Lahore loses a couple of early wickets and fails to get to 50 in the powerplay, Karachi will be in the driving seat, Lahore's lower order is weak

 

[Abdullah719]

Is shazaib playing ?

No.

Karachi have three players aged <23.

 

[Syed1]

That's how you give chance to youngsters, Misbah.

 

[Syed1]

Disappointed that LQ went with the same side. I wanted to see Yamin..

 

[mz123]

That's how you give chance to youngsters, Misbah.

shahzaib is not playing

 

[cricketerB94]

Should have played Delport.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

This is stupid from McCullum. This is far from our strongest side.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Really want Fakhar to perform here whether Lahore loses or wins
golden chance for Shinwari as well

 

[cricketerB94]

Just score 150 and its game over for Karachi. They had only one hard hitter and they dropped him too.

 

[DRsohail]

usama mir??/

 

[Rayyman]

I am hyped for this match.

That is just a reader sending commentary feedback, not Kevin Pietersen.

 

[Rayyman]

Oh no Shahzaib dropped for Klaasik.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Bopara was a one season wonder like Vardy

Karachi kings acting like he's some Jacq Kallis

 

[Rayyman]

We should open with Gayle and Malik. Azam isn't good enough for power play yet.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Damn so many Karachi fans here. Where's my fellow Lahore fans? Go Lahore!

 

[Sub-Zero]

predictions for Gayle's score?

I think single figure with the strike of less than 100

 

[nextover666666]

Lets go Lahore, a Qalander is always better than a king lol hoping for a good game

 

[nextover666666]

predictions for Gayle's score?

Gayle out first ball clean bowled
