Rizwan is so insecure. He could drop one of Fakhar/Hafeez/Malik and draft Mohammad Haris. Really disappointed with these politics.
 
It is so sad to see Hafeez and Malik hog the place of youngsters

Screw you Razzaq for selecting these two. These two bhuddas ahould have been part of balochistan XI instead of I.Butt and Imran Farhat

It's the same in PSL too....many youngsters are denied
 
PCB motto for domestic coaches is to develop players. I hope Razzaq is sacked after this season for not following the vision of PCB

The bigger issue IMO is Razzaq selecting 33 year old Asif Afridi instead of Arshad Iqbal, while Sameen Gul is playing 2nd XI. What the heck ?

Drop Asif Afridi to 2nd XI instead.
 
WTH is happening to the Youtube stream? Scoreboard graphics moving around, commentary overlapping, now even the stream has stopped..its absolutely amateur hour here
 
WOW what an innings haris is paying. 9 runs in 20 balls.
 
Imran Butt showing bit of power game as well.
 
pcb official youtube stream is back on..its much more clearer than PTVs but obviously shobby camera work
 
Balochistan will again have to rely mainly on their bowling in the competition like last year and with hope that either Zia, Bismillah or Amad to click as other batsmen aren’t necessarily going to turn the games around too often for them.
 
4 wickets for Shaheen, top bowling. Hopefully he is given a break as well in some matches.
 
5/20 for Shaheen. Should probably be rested in the next game but, I am not sure KPK management will think on those lines.

Which 2
 
What is the point of the PCB stream if it is not going to be live?

Defeats the whole purpose of them actually running a stream on YT if it is not live and not in good HD quality (1080 HD as they're 720 is 240 :)))
They are again running 10-15 mins behind.

No to be honest cant think of many names from their squad but, Sami Aslam could have been there in the main squad I believe over Imran Farhat.

Not many T20 batting names in their squad.
 
If Farhan isn't opening then why Muhammad Haris should play

Is nobody watching this from here?
 
36 year old Umaid Asif needs to retire. Balochistan has so many passengers that could easily be replaced by some talented youngsters
 
Does it work properly?

When it works, it works ok. But yesterday in the middle of the second innings of a match it suddenly stopped and there was no reason given, no announcement from PCB.

Video quality isnt great, probably 480p.

Unfortunately, as we saw in the England series as well, Hafeez remains one of the best strikers of the ball and limited overs batters in Pakistan. I am extremely sick of Shoaib Malik though.

The selection of someone like Razzaq as coach by the PCB is an extremely questionable decision. What are his credentials exactly? I wouldn't trust him to honestly select a gulli mohalla team. He has the typical mindset of selection based on seniority/friendships/sifarish hence why he fits in so well at Quetta Gladiators. Another stupid decision by Wasim Khan and co.

Yes I know, but that is the only way of watching this tournament that I have access too sadly. For people like me its either watch with delayed stream or absolutely nothing as I dont have any other option to watch.
 
I think we need to be patience at least another 2 years to see these oldies get replaced. Some of them already washed out but many still occupied the spots.

Ridiculous first they dropped farhaan from the oppening spot to accommodate rizwan second of all what if malik doing he hasnt bowled today and today he didnt even bat ridiculous stuff from razaq expected better from this guy
 
Which youngesters should replace umaid asif ?

Ahmed Bashir
Dilbar Hussain
Arshad Iqbal


Or Akthar Shah from Balochistan, represented Pakistan U19 last year and couldn't play WC due to an injury.

Good options what about batting it seems like they ok chasing 160 but nothing more than 180

I did not expect any better from Razzaq! The type of person he is, none of this is suprising.

Looking at some of the awful bowlers on show, it makes the mind boggle as to who decided that Dilbar wasnt good enough. Just a shocking decision by some idiot.
 
What is the point of such a poor quality stream by the PCB that isn't even live and cricinfo is actually doing ball by ball today.

It's very frustrating.

Youtube stream isn't live and the PTV one is pathetic for words. Very sad unfortunately as we all expected more from this new regime.

Exactly.

To be fair it isn't even such a hard thing to organise either if you hire the right people and get the right equipment on time.

Pakistani sports are a nightmare to watch or follow if they are going to be doing this with the quality and those who are willing to watch or follow.

Indeed.

If they can do it for the PSL then it is possible for the National T20 cup as well. It's just negligence or not willing to spend all the money for this cause. You know how it works in Pak.

PSL is an international brand so they have to produce a super show and are forced to spend money on it.
 
Shaheen Afridi (5-20) earns KP first win in National T20 Cup

· Two teams meet again in Rawalpindi on 10 October

Multan, 2 October 2020:

Shaheen Shah Afridi showed why he is one of the most sought-after bowlers in world cricket after he returned a five wicket haul to steer pre-event favourites Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to a comfortable eight wickets victory over last year’s runners-up Balochistan in the fifth match of the National T20 Cup in front of PCB cameras on Friday afternoon.

Shaheen caused early inroads and then returned in the death overs to finish with figures of 4-0-20-5 to restrict Balochistan to 152 for nine after they had elected to bat first. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa top-order then milked Balochistan’s bowling to race to victory in 17 overs for the loss of two wickets.

It was a good bounce back by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after they had suffered a 79-run defeat against defending champions Northern in a tall-scoring match on Wednesday. Balochistan will have a chance to avenge for this loss when they will again meet Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Rawalpindi on 10 October.

Shaheen stole the third day honours after Pakistan’s young batting guns had dominated the first two days of the 33-match competition. Shaheen removed Imam-ul-Haq (9) and Awais Zia (24) in his first spell and then returned to dismiss Ammad Butt (4), Yasir Shah (0) and Umaid Asif (7) as Balochistan managed 37 runs in the last five overs to finish at 152 for nine.

Reflecting on his and his team performance, Shaheen Shah Afridi said: “I am very pleased with my performance and want to thank Allah for my success. I enjoy my bowling, I try hard wherever I play, in the first match we didn’t have an idea that the pitch will be so flat, in the second game today we changed our plans and worked out what length to bowl on the pitch and I am happy we got success with the strategy.

Shaheen was well supported by fellow left-armer Usman Shinwari who picked up two wickets but went for 48 runs.

For Balochistan, Imran Butt finished as the top-scorer with a 32-ball 37, while Haris Sohail (29) and Awais Zia (24) were the other contributors.

In their 153-run chase, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa openers Mohammad Rizwan (57 not out) and Fakhar Zaman (25) provided a 44-run start in less than five overs, before Rizwan and Mohammad Hafeez (45, 25b, 5x4, 3x6) added 66 runs for the second wicket.

Rizwan returned unbeaten on 57, an innings that came off 42 balls and included five four and two sixes. Iftikhar Ahmed (27) was the other not out batsmen as the third wicket put on 47 runs in 30 balls.


Scores in brief

Balochistan 152-9, 20 overs (Imran Butt 37, Haris Sohail 29, Awais Zia 24; Shaheen Shah Afridi 5-20, Usman Shinwari 2-48)

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 157-2, 17 overs (Mohammad Rizwan 57 not out, Mohammad Hafeez 45, Iftikhar Ahmed 29 not out, Fakhar Zaman 25)

Result – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won by eight wickets

Player of the match – Shaheen Shah Afridi (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
