Lahore Qalandars [176/6] reach PSL 8 final with 4-wicket win over Peshawar Zalmi [171/5]

[Ahmed216]

Great shot to end the innings from Haseebullah

 

[Rana]

Don’t think LQ can afford to take this deep

They need to target 100+ in first 10 overs and bring it down as much as they can before the 13th/14th over

 

[PakPremi]

Haseebullah would had scored more than Rajapksa and definitely Jamal, who bats like Faheem used to in T20s since his i provement. Anyhow PZ have enough runs unless PZ bowl poorly.

 

[PakEngFan]

TKC needs to be dropped if Peshawar makes it to the final.

 

[Justcrazy]

172 is the target

 

[Nikhil_cric]

TKC needs to be dropped if Peshawar makes it to the final.

Has 32/160 stats this season. Not sure why he is to be dropped.

 

[Cric1234]

They really need a good powerplay from Fakhar and Baig here Abdullah and Billings have been poor.

 

[Saj]

10 to 15 less than what they probably wanted I guess.

 

[Rana]

More than enough runs on the board

It will take a monumental choke in the field for LQ to get these runs

 

[Rana]

Babar is smart for evading Shaheen and Rashid khan for most of his innings

Harris really hurt those two bowlers!

 

[Fenrir]

Fakhar has to make a good score other was LQ may struggle to chase.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

Massive hit

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi will need wickets here

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Zalmi strike

 

[jattafridi]

Fakhar flop

 

[Omer2002]

oh dear what a hack was that ...

 

[PakEngFan]

Fakhar the hack goes. A pathetic t20 bat. No wonder rizwan replaced him.

 

[SM1989]

Zalmi will need wickets here

Zalmi won this match at the toss. They don't need anything. LQ will implode themselves.

 

[PakEngFan]

Fakhar flop

Flopped the 2019 World Cup too. Let’s hope it’s not the case this year.

 

[jattafridi]

Exciting match

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar and Sharjeel must replace Rizwan and Babar

 

[Omer2002]

why is this kid coming in before abdullah...its not as if Abdullah is a power hitter

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar flop

Both Saim and Haris have gone ahead in the queue to represent Pakistan as an opener

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 157 runs in 106 balls.

 

[PakPremi]

Babar is smart for evading Shaheen and Rashid khan for most of his innings

Harris really hurt those two bowlers!

Babar would had loved Shaheen bowling, and if I remeber wuickly he hit Rashid doe couple of boundaries .
I'm sure Babar

 

[PakEngFan]

Abdullah will be key for LQ today.

 

[Suleiman]

No Shaheen at 3?

 

[Omer2002]

ermm ok this kid is showing guts but if he goes then they will be in trouble

 

[msb314]

PSL Fact Alert:

4th placed team has never reached the final before

PSL Fact Alert:

4th placed team has never reached the final before

So Peshawar need to make history!

 

[Cric1234]

Bhatti to be the unexpected match winner today.

 

[Cric1234]

why is this kid coming in before abdullah...its not as if Abdullah is a power hitter

That’s why Abdullah has been poor when chasing better to send someone fresh in.

 

[Cric1234]

Out Billings and Abdullah need to do something today.

 

[Omer2002]

not sure they can chase this i am afraid

 

[Cric1234]

Fakhar has been poor aswell apart from one hundred.

 

[Cric1234]

Should have sent Sikander in instead of Abdullah.

 

[moghul]

Baig is playing a match winning inning for ---Zalmi.

 

[zarak]

Should have sent Sikander in instead of Abdullah.

Keep baig in. He's going to lose it for them

 

[Cric1234]

Baig is playing a match winning inning for ---Zalmi.

Abdullah isn’t doing better hasn’t convinced as a T20 batsman.

 

[Savak]

This Tahir Baig is a hack. He was certainly not picked to play a run a ball innings. Bizzare pick by Lahore Qalandars.

 

[zarak]

Panicky captain, panicky team.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim Haris Haseebullah have got heart Abdullah is timid

 

[zarak]

This Tahir Baig is a hack. He was certainly not picked to play a run a ball innings. Bizzare pick by Lahore Qalandars.

Zaman is an emerging player so they don't even have to play him.

 

[Firebat]

Shafique ran 3 there. Baig just ball watching

 

[SamNJ]

These 2 were anyway looking for a way to get run out. Their prayers got answered.

 

[jattafridi]

Lahore in big big trouble

Saim Ayub all rounder

 

[SamNJ]

This Tahir Baig is a hack. He was certainly not picked to play a run a ball innings. Bizzare pick by Lahore Qalandars.

1 4, 4 dots seems to be his way of batting.

 

[PakPremi]

Poor decisions delaying batting your more experienced foreign batsmen.

 

[zarak]

Poor decisions delaying batting your more experienced foreign batsmen.

Best captain in Pakistan has been exposed

 

[moghul]

Zalmi better let Baig carry on , he is palying gem of an inning for them.

 

[Firebat]

Tahir Baig playing a Test blinder

 

[Cric1234]

They should have tried something different sending Raza an Weise in early as the middle order is hopeless.

 

[topspin]

LQ need a Baig innings ... NOT!

 

[SamNJ]

Tahir is actually not batting badly. Just need to cut down on the dots.

 

[Zues]

I think it may have been worthwhile to give Saim another over. He has touch of Hafeez in him. Can become a very useful allrounder.

 

[GreenKhan]

Fakhar has been poor aswell apart from one hundred.

Has had 3 man of the match performances this season and also has hit the most sixers.

Must be doing something right

 

[Cric1234]

Billings finally batting at a decent strike rate.

 

[Cric1234]

Has had 3 man of the match performances this season and also has hit the most sixers.

Must be doing something right

That was earlier has had 4 low scores in a row.

 

[GreenKhan]

That was earlier has had 4 low scores in a row.

3rd low scores in a row . Oddly not fired in either of the play offs

 

[topspin]

Even though he's just got out. I think we can now all agree this 50 of his might turn out to be a Baig innings for Lahore Qalanders.

 

[Rana]

What a game

 

[Rana]

Nearly a run a ball needed now

 

[Rana]

Jamal the main threat here

 

[topspin]

What a game

Great atmosphere, good contest and the Tapal Tea is fantastic. What more can one ask for?

 

[Rana]

6 overs

Jamal has 2

Irshad isn’t having his best game

Who’s going to bowl these?

 

[Rana]

I’m a Lahore fan and I am genuinely scared of Jamal here

He can still turn the game around for PZ

 

[moghul]

Jamal the main threat here

In thats case its a very low level cricket .

 

[Rana]

In thats case its a very low level cricket .

Don’t underestimate him

 

[Rana]

I wouldn’t take this deep

One over of a wicket and 2-3 runs and PZ are favourites

 

[Rana]

Need a boundary

 

[Firebat]

Even though he's just got out. I think we can now all agree this 50 of his might turn out to be a Baig innings for Lahore Qalanders.

Touche

 

[Rana]

Still need a boundary I recon

 

[Rana]

That’s the boundary!

 

[Rana]

Come on LQ don’t choke this!

 

[Rana]

This game is still on a knife’s edge

Trust my PZ are doing well to stay in this

 

[SamNJ]

Brainless running. Whole innings.

 

[Rana]

Now I feel

Noooowwwww iiiiiii feeeeeeeel itttt!!!!

 

[moghul]

Jamal the main threat here

For Zalmi

 

[Rana]

Still one good over can turn this game for PZ

 

[Rana]

For Zalmi

Not great today
