[super hitter]

If KK wins this and LQ wins another one then PZ is in the danger zone.

Big match, lets hope KK caries on

 

[Sub-Zero]

if Hafeez play today, then Zalmi deserve to lose

 

[Sub-Zero]

really wanna see Asghar and Khushdil, not Maqsood and Junaid

 

[Syed1]

if Hafeez play today, then Zalmi deserve to lose

This I agree with. The only reason Hafeez continues to play is because he is a senior.

 

[Syed1]

Looking forward to Khushdil, Harry, Asghar and Shahzaib getting a game

 

[super hitter]

lets hope

Gayle, Bopara are dropped.

Shahzaib, jaywerdane play.

 

[Sub-Zero]

This I agree with. The only reason Hafeez continues to play is because he is a senior.

Khushdil should open, he'd score more than Hafeez I'm sure, Zalmi got a lot of bowlers and all rounders they don't need Hafeez's bowling either

 

[Sub-Zero]

expecting a Gayle Fail special today

Hope Babar gets a 50 and middle order collapse and then Imad gets a 50

 

[yasir]

if Hafeez play today, then Zalmi deserve to lose

How in the world he is playing every game, when he has failed in every match??


Even in PSL, where teams are for profit, culture is still same old rotten one, they are not doing anything new or different, not a single team

 

[super hitter]

Big match! lets break the streak...

kuch to Gahr bahr ha

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hope Gayle fires today.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Hasan Ali would be like ... Aj tou ek free wicket meri hi hai kiun k Gayle open karega:ahmed

 

[Syed1]

Hasan Ali would be like ... Aj tou ek free wicket meri hi hai kiun k Gayle open karega:ahmed

I hope Gayle doesn't waste too many balls before he gets out. KK has been losing because IPL superstar would leave, yes LEAVE, two whole overs and then sky one to mid-off or mid-on.

Worst signing in the history of PSL

 

[saeed5646]

Watch out for ifti uncle pathetic from zalmi

 

[super hitter]

toss in 5 minutes...Bowling first will always be the choice but would 180 be a chase-able target like yesterday?

both teams are weak chasers.

 

[super hitter]

nooooooooo

Peshawar have won the toss and are bowling first. We will have the team changes with you shortly.

 

[saeed5646]

Good news is hafeez is drop but bad news is ifti have replaced him

 

[super hitter]

The axe has fallen on Mohammad Hafeez after his string of low scores. Iftikhar Ahmed is playing.

 

[super hitter]

yesssss

My fav
Sohail Khan is in for Karachi.

 

[saeed5646]

M.akram coaching the zalmi as a head coach so no surprise why they have made huge blunders in selecting the team for every match

 

[world cup captain]

Karachi hopefully wins this game.

 

[Barragan]

It's a sunday and there is only one game on, but these two teams have the potential to turn into a borefest.

 

[Brilliance]

Lol, It is Ifti who is replacing Hafeez. Can't get worsw

 

[saeed5646]

It's a sunday and there is only one game on, but these two teams have the potential to turn into a borefest.

the weekend in desert is friday so that is why there is only one match in sharjah today

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imran Khan junior is a good T20 bowler. They really had to play Junaid yesterday? Damn they gave away yesterday's game.

 

[b.lesner]

Ramiz shameless saying iftikhar mohmand is a 40 year old joing two names , he knows nothing about even international players forget about domestic even sunil gavaskar and ravi shastri know their domestic players

 

[Barragan]

the weekend in desert is friday so that is why there is only one match in sharjah today

I know.

I'm just referring to the two teams and their potential to bore the audience.

 

[Abdullah719]

What are Zalmi doing? Why are you playing Ifti and IK

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

M.akram coaching the zalmi as a head coach so no surprise why they have made huge blunders in selecting the team for every match

Doubt he has much of a role. Guys like Afridi do not like coaches. Akram is probably just advising here and there.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Karachi fans a serious question to you:
If Gayle manages to score a blistering 50 like KP did yesterday, would you have him in the squad for next season?!

 

[saeed5646]

Doubt he has much of a role. Guys like Afridi do not like coaches. Akram is probably just advising here and there.

lol afridi will never change sammy ""gundo mein phaas gya"""

 

[Abdullah719]

Karachi fans a serious question to you:
If Gayle manages to score a blistering 50 like KP did yesterday, would you have him in the squad for next season?!

No thanks.

 

[saeed5646]

I know.

well you are right ifti uncle and imran khan selection made things worse i hope gayle fire other wise boring

 

[Sub-Zero]

well you are right ifti uncle and imran khan selection made things worse i hope gayle fire other wise boring

if Babar plays like Kohli again then it would be entertaining

 

[Sub-Zero]

No thanks.

so Babar + Shazaib/Khurram as opening pair?

 

[tanveer din]

why gayle is not opening?

 

[Ummii]

so Babar + Shazaib/Khurram as opening pair?

Babar n sanga

 

[saeed5646]

if Babar plays like Kohli again then it would be entertaining

oh i forgot about babar is cheetaa would love to see him smash zalmi

 

[saeed5646]

good contest between babar vs hasan so far babar winning

 

[Adil_94]

Hasan needs to correct that line

 

[Ummii]

Babar is getting better and better

 

[Adil_94]

jaffa by Hasan

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[Sub-Zero]

Chah gya Babar

 

[saeed5646]

wahab is back to his original form rubbish bowler

 

[badsha001]

Wth? Morgan is still here??

 

[saeed5646]

Wth? Morgan is still here??

last match today for him

 

[Adil_94]

awful from Imran Khan jnr

 

[world cup captain]

That was pathetic from Maqsood.

 

[Sub-Zero]

going good so far
should get to 50 before the powerplay ends

 

[Sub-Zero]

shabba Baba 2

 

[Sub-Zero]

Babar should do some weight lifting and get some serious biceps and triceps

 

[world cup captain]

Good start from Babar, needs to carry on today!

 

[saeed5646]

shaba babar zalmi deserves phainty for dropping asghar

 

[Sub-Zero]

why is Maqsood playing after failing?!
Khushdil should replace him

 

[badsha001]

Babar should do some weight lifting and get some serious biceps and triceps

There is no shame if he can spend few days with Kholi to learn few things about his diet and fitness regime...

 

[Amirforpresident]

Imran Khan jr. starting with a 120kp/h thunderbolt

 

[saeed5646]

What a Shot by babar

 

[shariqnoor]

How's Babar's English levels? I hope they are good cause Sanga can really guide him. Don't want Babar to just be nodding without understanding what Sanga is saying.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Babar mian kia kha ke aaye ho?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Imran jr looks seriously mediocre

 

[Barragan]

Today Azam is rotating the strike well

 

[Abdullah719]

Imran Khan jnr's 'fast' variation: 125 kph

Imran Khan jnr's 'slow' variation: 105 kph

Imran Khan jnr's 'extra-slow' variation: 90 kph

 

[b.lesner]

why would you bowl imran khan jr. in powerplay with new bowl when batsman is not hitting shots in the air too much , his strength is death overs with old bowl when batsman is a attacking and field is spread , batsman mistimes and he takes a wicket.

 

[zeb185]

Babar should play as an opener internationally aswell, he's playing very comfortably and isn't looking like he is in any trouble, zaman should be given a chance internationally in the series against WI as a no.3

 

[Markhor]

No interest in any of Zalmi's local players other than Hasan Ali.

Surprised Maqsood still has been retained after his failures.

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over by Wahab

 

[Rayyman]

I am hyped for KK v.s. PZ!

#DhanDhanaDhanHogaRe #KarachiJeeteGa #DilonKeBadshah

 

[Barragan]

Good over from Riaz

 

[Sub-Zero]

Babar should play as an opener internationally aswell, he's playing very comfortably and isn't looking like he is in any trouble, zaman should be given a chance internationally in the series against WI as a no.3

Zaman is an opener and a hack, if he open and hit big shots he'll be more succesful

 

[Rayyman]

Good start from KK!

Well played so far Babar and good partnership.

 

[zeb185]

Why on earth is Sammy bowling

 

[Barragan]

That shot was class

 

[Barragan]

sammy has been expensive

 

[Sub-Zero]

Sanga used an SS bat, now using Spartan bat and it's working

 

[shariqnoor]

Why is Hasan Ali an Emerging Player? Anyone who is an international player should not be classified as an Emerging Player.

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[zeb185]

Sanga used an SS bat, now using Spartan bat and it's working

Even Mr afridi is using a spartan these days

 

[Rayyman]

Gayle should come next if Sanga is out. If Azam is out then bring in Malik.
