Karachi Kings v Peshawar Zalmi | PSL 2020, 2nd Match | NSK | 21st February, 2020 | Peshawar Innings

[MenInG]

Tough target of 202 for Peshawar Zalmi

 

[Danyaalr01]

What a cameo by Ifti. Good inning by Babar, he struggled at the start but really changed gears. First I thought it was a dumb move by Imad to promote himself, but he batted well.

Sharjeel showing glimpses of his former self, I hope he does good in the rest of the games. He definitely has to improve his fitness though, that run out chance was embarassing.

Mohsin looked impressive and looked to give flight and not throw it flat like Shadab, he also got turn and has a nice googly.

I hope Haider Ali does well, and also excited to see Arshad Iqbal.

 

[Titan24]

Though Hasan is coming after injury but he needs to get his act straight soon as the competition in bowling is already much more than before his injury.

 

[shamaan]

Very good performance by karachi good batting by babar,imad playing vital role and mohsin looks a good prospect

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Crowd attendance is worried sign. PSL will not be successful if they people support is not there. Seems like Karachi likes Quetta more than KK.

 

[Khan12]

Uncle ifti should be batting ahead of that garbage Walton.

Imad is such a good batsmen. He should bat up the order for us in T20 and ODI. This is belter of a pitch. Dont put ur hopes up i think PZ can win this too. If Kami bhai gets a good start.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Uncle ifti should be batting ahead of that garbage Walton.

Walton is an opener. Him and Sharjeel should open.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Though Hasan is coming after injury but he needs to get his act straight soon as the competition in bowling is already much more than before his injury.

I really don't see him coming back now. Shaheen is the clear leader of the pack now. Haris Rauf has the advantage of BBL with him. Hasnain is doing better than him. Akif Javed looks like he could be good. Naseem Shah could be a good bowler for World t20s.

Night games will be more filled up than day games.

 

[Salman4.]

Babar shouldn't play, right?

 

[Titan24]

Yes comp is tough. However, Hasan still averages 20 in T20 internationals but wont help if he doesnt show something in PSL.

 

[Mercurial]

The positive for us is that we bat deep!

 

[Titan24]

PSL in Pak is completely different feel with presence of crowd and activity around. Much better learning curve for young players as well as pressure is different when you are playing in front of big crowds.

 

[Omer Baloch]

It's 2020 and Kami still hitting those sweet drives.

 

[Mercurial]

Amir doesn't seem to have that hunger anymore. HIs pace is down too, no wonder his economy rate has been affected recently.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Banton, Kami, and Haider will put up one hell of a fight. Mark my words.

 

[Mercurial]

Arshad Iqbal is too slow.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Wait, why isn't Umer Khan playing. Seems like a certain left arm "spinner" with power over KK team selection is feeling threatened.

 

[Titan24]

Pitch of National Stadium has been pretty true, maybe have bit more support as the tournament progresses. However these are the wickets where young bowlers will learn

 

[Indiafan]

Kamran still has all the shots in the book

 

[amvbfm]

Banton, Kami, and Haider will put up one hell of a fight. Mark my words.

This is a really formidable batting lineup. Wouldn't be surprised if they chase this down easily.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Babar shouldn't play, right?

Babar 1 down.

 

[Danyaalr01]

What's he bowling.

 

[IAJ]

Kamran still has all the shots in the book

Yeah, but some ordinary bowling helps also

 

[Titan24]

Poor lengths from Arshad. Though his first match but he should try to stick with his strengths which is corridor bowing. He is either nervous or overtrying.

 

[IAJ]

This is a terrific T20 pitch.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imad should have bowled himself lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bantons trying a bit too hard

 

[Titan24]

Kamran still has all the shots in the book

Problem has been his keeping and without gloves he is pretty ordinary in the field too. Age is on the wrong side or 30s as well. Wasted talent though as in terms of stroke play in LOIs he was probably Pak’s best keeper batsman.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Il take Kamran for T20 WC over Malik.

 

[Titan24]

While the pitch isnt very helpful for spinners as well but surprising to see Umer Khan not playing as the guy has good brain as well.

 

[Shams123]

Thats out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Banton was living dangerously LOL

 

[Green Patriot]

Banton gone.

 

[Titan24]

Banton was looking a bit nervous at this stage. Will get better as he plays

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Amir escapes that drop

 

[amvbfm]

Lot will depend on how PZ tackle Amir and Jordan. The rest will be easy pickings i think.

 

[Danyaalr01]

What's up with this song that keeps playing. It sounds like it's saying Haider Ali.

 

[Green Patriot]

Haider Ali on.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Haider ali.

 

[Shams123]

Haider should try to play cricketing shots. These hoicks will cause his early downfall.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Nice

 

[IAJ]

Shot Haider!

 

[Omer2002]

what on earth was haider doing he is not a pinch hitter....

 

[ammar_merry]

what was haider doing on 3 balls he faced.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Oh well.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Stupid stuff from Haider

 

[IAJ]

And gone! Backing off too much

 

[Green Patriot]

Haider also gone.

 

[Shams123]

These young kids need to learn a lot from Babar. He struggled at first. Looked frustrated but kept his focus.

 

[IAJ]

What the hell is Kamran doing at the other end. Needed to have a chat with him.

 

[Omer Baloch]

Doing that against Jordon, kid needs to be told who's he facing.

 

[Khan12]

What on earth was haider ali doing? Miles better then that.

 

[Titan24]

Haider tried to play too many shots. Should have given himself couple of deliveries, yes PZ wants to maximize the PP score but you shouldnt be loosing too many wickets as well

 

[shah_1]

Brainless batting

 

[Titan24]

What on earth was haider ali doing? Miles better then that.

Probably bit of nervous energy due to the stage.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Perhaps it's just the nervousness of his first game and he had a brain far.t.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

wat a stupid shot

if he had stayed normal stance, it was a full tosss on leg stump ... huh...

needs a calm head like baber to take him under his wings

 

[Titan24]

PZ’s own Umaid Asif, now against them in this season.

 

[Shams123]

Haider should focus on playing proper shots. Play some balls to understand the conditions. He is not a natural hitter. Should stick to his strengths.

 

[Titan24]

Haider scored 60 odd off 19 balls in warm up, probably was looking to continue that but should have given himself some time

 

[Rellu_Katta]

seriously hope malik fails pathatically in this psl to get him out of the WC squad

 

[Ronaldo7]

what was that from Haider Ali??

extremely disappointed

 

[Khan12]

Probably bit of nervous energy due to the stage.

Yeah agreed. Think he wanted to continue from the practice game. Plus akmal should have gone to have a word with him after the first ball. Hopefully he played better then this next game. He's much better then what we saw today.

 

[Shams123]

I dont think shoaib is in a mood. Looks bored and uninterested.

 

[Danyaalr01]

2 of the most senior players in Pakistan and they still don't know how to call.

 

[Ronaldo7]

peshawar have another game tomorrow.
so hopefully haider ali does better tomorrow

 

[Green Patriot]

The dastak dance makes me want to pull out my eye balls and rinse them

 

[Ertugrul_Bey]

Malik kaay Nekhraaaay, lets get on with the game.

 

[Abdullah719]

The dastak dance makes me want to pull out my eye balls and rinse them

Tapal was bad but this is just on another level

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan talking with Imad about probably field placements. KK seems to have 3 brains that were captains in national T20 cup with Imad, Rizwan and Babar.

 

[ARK Rafay]

PZ are in trouble. There are no spinners apart from Imad so Malik will struggle a little chasing 202.

 

[Shams123]

Had kamran akmal been a better fielder, he could have been a modern great. More than his batting, his fitness has led him down.

 

[Shams123]

Karachi just needs to keep everyone on the boundary. Shouldnt mind ones or twos.

 

[Shams123]

Bringing delport at this stage can be dangerous.

 

[Titan24]

PZ needs atleast one big over from somewhere to get back in the chase

 

[Titan24]

Akmal needs to keep on going for the rest of the over as well

 

[Titan24]

Decent over for PZ
