Lahore Qalandars (180/9) qualify for the Play-Offs with a 21-run win over Multan Sultans (159/7)

[Rana]

Oh here we go

More delays

 

[Rana]

Great intent in the powerplay

 

[boomboomcheema]

Taking it deep.

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan itching to go leg side

Itch scratched off with a 6

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fielding has been very ordinary this season.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thumped 145 kph like no problem.

 

[Rana]

What a hack

 

[Rana]

10 minute break

 

[zarak]

What a hack

Hacking his way to the top of the charts. Love it.

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan gets hit a lot, I have seen him being hit whilst running by the fielder throw.

 

[Saj]

At this rate, this match may last nearly 5 hours.

No urgency at all.

 

[Rana]

Everyone just joking and chatting

No intensity in this game

 

[Justcrazy]

Sultans need 145 runs in 90 balls.

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood 17 off 17 in the powerplay so far

 

[Justcrazy]

Multan has good batting , if they bat well this can be chased.

 

[Rana]

Shan 18 off 18 in the powerplay

 

[The_KING]

I am really not a fan of this Urdu commentary. These commentators are so cringe.

 

[Rana]

23 off 18 in the powerplay by Rizwan

 

[Justcrazy]

44 in six overs , pretty good start .

 

[zarak]

Karachi are usually 60-3. I feel 44-0 is better but it's a risky tactic. I prefer one guy to go for it

 

[Saj]

Rizwan seems to be batting and umpiring out there.

Could be a close one this.

 

[The_KING]

Masood is such a fraud of a batsman.

 

[Saj]

Horrible slog by Shan Masood.

Head in the clouds.

 

[Rana]

Great innings by Masood

Pakistan’s number 3

Better than Imad, Azam and Fakhar

 

[zarak]

Masood is such a fraud of a batsman.

Seems quite sound. Maybe not t20 material

 

[Rana]

Masood is such a fraud of a batsman.

And how is Rizwan not a fraud?

 

[PakPremi]

This wicket will help Multan.

 

[PakPremi]

And how is Rizwan not a fraud?

Because even if he starts slow he still ends up scoring significantly with good enough strike rate overall.Shan not only bats slow but hardly scores big.

 

[Rana]

So you as an opener don’t want to hit sixes but send Tailenders at 3 to have free hits??

 

[Rana]

Only a captain as bright as Rizwan could send a tailender at 3

 

[Rana]

This needs to be investigated by the ICC

 

[Rana]

Urooj horrendous commentator

 

[PakEngFan]

23 off 18 in the powerplay by Rizwan

Miles better then what sharjeel mange’s which is 0 off 3 balls.

 

[Saj]

The move to send Usama Mir at number 3 is backfiring at the moment.

MS slipping behind the required run rate.

 

[The_KING]

Seems quite sound. Maybe not t20 material

He isn't ODI or Test material either.

 

[jattafridi]

Rizwon doing experiments before the final match

 

[TeamPak95]

Can’t say I understand the logic behind Usama Mir coming in at 3. Does he have Gohan-level hitting potential that only a few have seen?

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Rizwan gone after wasting too many balls.

 

[Rana]

Not the wicket LQ needed

Wouldn’t mind Rizwan out there ballooning the run rate to 13-14

 

[jattafridi]

Rilee rossouw is here to destroy Lq bowling

 

[zarak]

This was a bad innings by both openers. Effectively lost the match. Can't have two guys like this. Needs a serious revisit.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rossowe is a very good player , if he stays , Multan will come close.

 

[TeamPak95]

Rizwon doing experiments before the final match

I mean I get playing the long game and trying out new things before the knockout stages but even the experiments have to make sense on paper.

 

[Stronguess]

Docta Shaheen got a good ring to it

 

[Saj]

Such an ordinary innings from Rizwan today.

No urgency at all.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Usama finally connects one.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 an over required from here onwards , we can have a good climax .

 

[TeamPak95]

This was a bad innings by both openers. Effectively lost the match. Can't have two guys like this. Needs a serious revisit.

Only issue I have with Multan. I’d rather Rizwan open with an aggressor batsman (should experiment with that)

 

[Darkrai]

Rizwan and his tuk tuk continues.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Rashid strikes , it is going to be very difficult now.

 

[TeamPak95]

Lol Usama six, now out as I type.

 

[Saj]

What on earth was that innings from Usama Mir?

Pinch hitter who forgot to hit.

 

[Rana]

10 an over required from here onwards , we can have a good climax .

Dude this isn’t a joke

Shaheen has 2

Rauf has 3

Rashid still has 17 balls in this spell

 

[Justcrazy]

Miller and Rossowe , this is the pair on which Multan counts most , one of them have to play deep here

 

[Justcrazy]

Dude this isn’t a joke

Shaheen has 2

Rauf has 3

Rashid still has 17 balls in this spell

If you want win tournament , you have to beat the best.

 

[TeamPak95]

What on earth was that innings from Usama Mir?

Pinch hitter who forgot to hit.

Is he a pinch hitter to begin with? I’m reminded of SL promoting Thisara Perera up the order to tonk it vs India in the 2014 WT20 final and working. Key here, Thisara can actually bat.

 

[Rana]

Multan’s nrr could once again take a massive hit

If they get stuck on 8 points they can be in big trouble if KK win their last two

 

[Firebat]

Rashid Khan wins another match

 

[Stronguess]

Lahore got the team chemistry on point

 

[Savak]

Rizwan's and Multan Sultans approach of taking the game deep is ******** knowing full well Rashid Khan does not give an inch in the middle overs. Rizwan should have made the most of the powerplay overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sultans need 94 runs in 48 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan's and Multan Sultans approach of taking the game deep is ******** knowing full well Rashid Khan does not give an inch in the middle overs. Rizwan should have made the most of the powerplay overs.

Lahore bowling unit is too strong for that kind of plan. I think Multan will come back stronger after this experience.

 

[Rana]

Can’t bat outside of Multan Rilee??

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

3 for 8 By rashid so far , Rashid has got 514 wickets in 20 20 so far , exceptional bowlers.

 

[Saj]

So much pressure put on the rest of the batting order by the MS openers after 48 off 39 balls.

Some days they'll perform miracles but not every day.

 

[Stronguess]

Lahores got so much weapons in the arsenal for their attack

 

[Rana]

Khushdil at 7

Can he silence the Lahore crowed who called him parchi??

 

[jattafridi]

Multan will take revenge just wait and watch Lq

 

[Savak]

Only worry about the Qalandars is that they are peaking very early. They are due a bad night which could happen in a Semi Final or final. Also Qalandars haven't been tested chasing, their only loss in this tournament is via chasing

 

[Ahmed216]

Terrible gameplan from Rizwan. Left Multan with no choice but to attack Rashid. Surprising for me really

 

[Stronguess]

yeah if i remember same thing happened to multan last year

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid is a champion bowler , in 20 20 he is no doubt best spinner , whatever kind of spin.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard even on his last legs , can still hit out a few lusty blows

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid Khan net worth is 3 Million $ , he is a top pick in all leagues across the globe , a true champion bowler in this format.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sultans need 94 runs in 48 balls.

They need some really big overs here , to spice up the game.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is Misbah’s pick

Khushdil is Rizwan’s pick

The result is there for everyone to see

 

[Justcrazy]

MS will comeback with different game plan later , they would learn from there mistakes.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This has been, primarily, a bat first PSL.

 

[Rana]

MS will comeback with different game plan later , they would learn from there mistakes.

No they won’t

Who are you trying to fool?

 

[PakPremi]

Phir KIA Khushdil .
