Not sure who Sindh's coach is but he has done a good job do far.

Great to see Rafiq and Ilyas playing today.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Only in Pakistan the guy who scored one of the most memorable match winning knock of 153* gets to bat below Wahab Riaz.

Guess who is the captain incharge here?

He wanted to push his case forward for the WC. Selfish.

 

[Extra_Cover]

On a side note, Umar Amin has been a bright light in the field amidst all the pathetic fielding we have seen in this tournament.

 

[Markhor]

Wahab Riaz batting at 5, have seen it all now.

This. I mean...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Khushdil shah has brains too

 

[ataullah]

Khushdil ny dil Khush Kar dia. Any chance he can be our finisher for world cup?

Will be one match wonder ... will soon be found out that he is a leg side hack. Feed him on offside and he will have no shot to play

 

[Ronaldo7]

301 runs in 4 matches

 

[the Great Khan]

salman butt thinking he's all important again..hate this criminal..

 

[Sher Khan]

Khushdil shah such a powerful hitter.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Another ton by Khushdil

[HGhazanfar]

Missed out on planning big time, should have inducted Khushdil in the team 2 yrs ago he already had 8 List A centuries and all in match winning knocks. Those that are saying he's a leg side hack look at how many match winning innings he has played this tournament 40 odd first game with the tail to win the match 150 last game to win the match and another century here when they were 100-5 to post 300.

 

[Syed1]

How the hell does Wahab Riaz bat ahead of Khushdil Shah... kudos to Shah for still smashing a ton of 66 balls.

 

[Syed1]

Unfortunate that Khushdil didn't get a chance in the PSL and hence Inzi will never know of his existence. He could hit a 100 100s in domestics and Inzi would be like "who is he"

You are right bro. He deserved to be inducted earlier and they should have polished him for the number 6 position for the wc.

 

[coy0607]

I see that Butt is corrupt as ever, having Wahab batting over Khusdil

talk about having an agenda. unfortunate that PCB keep making him captain

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

More impressive in one innings at home than the following players who have played internationally:

Shafiq
Amin
Akmal (s)
Jamshed
Captaan

[MMHS]

Hack or slogger or pinch hitter, whatever, Khusdil guy has tremendous hitting power. PCB's selectors might not call him ever, or even better might call him for Test squad, that too for AUS tour .... but I'll definitely pick the guy for T20I, and PSL. Could be an asset for the next 2 T20I WCs, can bowl a bit as well.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Butt corrupt as ever.

Playing Wahab over Khushdil even though he hit 153* few matches back just so that Wahab can get a chance for WC.

I mean Asif Ali is a hack, but Khushdil has a way better LA record.

 

[sindhiboy]

this khushi dil should definitely be tried out post world cup

 

[MenInG]

Getting very interesting this.

SINDH 228/5 in 40.0 overs
Sindh need 73 runs to win

Hammad Azam could win this for Sindh

 

[MenInG]

SINDH 250/6 in 43.4 overs
Sindh need 51 runs to win

Imran Rafiq fighting on ....

 

[MenInG]

SINDH 281/7 in 48.2 overs
Sindh need 20 runs to win

Imran Rafiq still there...

 

[MenInG]

Despite a brave not-out effort by Imran Rafiq (61*), KPK hold their nerve to win the encounter against Sindh by 9 runs; Scores : KPK 300 (50 overs), Sindh 291/9 (50 overs);

Why was wabah riaz sent in to bat before k.shah?

 

[moghul]

Who are the batsmen who gave wickets to Hammad's innocent bowling ?

 

[Chokli]

Could use Khushdil in the line up
