[Azzurri]

Apparently 50% sold out. So full capacity today as per the SOPs

 

[Coolcapri]

LQ going to stop MS winning streak today.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Malik786]

Lol how can Multan play again today.
Pathetic scheduling.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Lol how can Multan play again today.
Pathetic scheduling.

Just about to say this, it feels like I’ve been watching Multan play every day.

Whoever came up with the scheduling needs sacking, there’s plenty of 70 year olds that can do a better job.

 

[mon858]

Ridiculous scheduling to say the least.
Multan already played 6 games
Multan just played yesterday.
3 other teams played 0 games last 4 days and now couple of them may end up with back to back on Sat Sunday.

 

[MenInG]

Multan Sultans have won the toss and elected to field first in Match 17 against Lahore Qalandars

 

[Hassaan HS]

 

[shamaan]

Should be good game.

 

[PakPremi]

Good to see large crowd, hopefully all remain protected from Covid. Cricket is well and truly back in Pakistan and crowd are seeing some entertaining games with good blend of international stars.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Apparently 50% sold out. So full capacity today as per the SOPs

Looks more than 50%

 

[Extra_Cover]

Great crowd in today. This looks so good. I wish there were more venues like Multan and Rawalpindi that hosted PSL games.

Abdullah wicket

 

[CricketBuff]

Two good decisions by Aleem Dar already

 

[MenInG]

would be harsh if this is out fakhar just turned

 

[Rana]

Kamran Ghulam clueless

Why can’t Salt bat at 3?

 

[CricketBuff]

I dont find anything special in Shahnawaz Dahani. He is just smiling and laughing all the time. Very unprofessional.

 

[silentkiller187]

fakhar seems to have improved his running between wickets

 

[Civil]

I love today's atmosphere

 

[Rana]

Fakhar bossing the PSL so far

 

[Rana]

Reasonably good bowling attack and a team in good form

Ghulam is 20 off 20. Needs a lot more urgency

 

[Rana]

Khushdil is a pretty solid cricketer.

Decent bowler
Good fielder
Dangerous batsman

 

[EngrOmair]

Zaman playing well outside off

Why did Lahore do this experiment with their kits!!

 

[Ahmed216]

Kamran looks a good player to me. Got the basics covered.

 

[EngrOmair]

Love the energy from the crowd today, Lahore Lahore Ae

 

[Rana]

Don’t mind Ghulam getting out now, he has done an alright job but there are some serious bats in the dug out

 

[CricketBuff]

Love the energy from the crowd today, Lahore Lahore Ae

That is their home games kit

 

[Rana]

Don’t think it is sensible to not bowl out Tahir now

Rizwan has just re-injected momentum back into the LQ innings with Dahani

 

[Rana]

Good wicket for LQ

 

[Rana]

Not the worst LQ kit actually

 

[EngrOmair]

That is their home games kit

Colour combinations are not working last season was decent, will present ones glow in the dark?

 

[Rana]

Hafeez carrying on the Tuk Tuk

 

[DRsohail]

Anybody watching the match, how is the pitch behaving?

 

[Rana]

Fakhar Zaman

The best ODI and T20 opener in Pakistan.

 

[Rathore]

Cant understand why harry brook or hafeez is playing below kamran ghulam! terrible innings by kamran ghulam with strike rate of 110 and this wicket looks like 200+. fakhar is single handedly carrying this pathetic lq team.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

What is hafeez even doing in this squad I don't understand.

 

[silentkiller187]

fakhar is playing well but hes been out there almost 15 overs and his team only has a 100 odd, goes to show how much you cant rely on 1 player in t20s

 

[Dark_Horse]

Cant understand why harry brook or hafeez is playing below kamran ghulam! terrible innings by kamran ghulam with strike rate of 110 and this wicket looks like 200+. fakhar is single handedly carrying this pathetic lq team.

Hafeez doesn’t merit a place in playing 11 on current form let alone no 3

 

[Pakpak]

Hafeez with a masterful 3 off 8 so far

 

[PakPremi]

I dont find anything special in Shahnawaz Dahani. He is just smiling and laughing all the time. Very unprofessional.

He is bit hyper like Imran Tahir, but is also good young bowler like his much elder mayte Tahir.

 

[PakPremi]

This does not look like 190-200 pitch. So no need for LQ to panic, they should be able to post 160 to 170 which will test MS.

 

[Pakpak]

What is hafeez doing?????

 

[Dark_Horse]

Excellent wicket by hafeez what a bowling by hafeez the professor

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Hafeez destroying lq single handedly..

 

[silentkiller187]

This does not look like 190-200 pitch. So no need for LQ to panic, they should be able to post 160 to 170 which will test MS.

the way LQ started they looked good for 180-190 so they will be disappointed, MS in red hot form be interesting to see how this plays out

 

[asadee]

Why no comments for great bowling by Abbas Afridi

 

[EngrOmair]

Hafeez needs to get moving now, couple of boundaries he will equal out. Any thing near 180 would test MS with Shaheen MS are not going to have it easy in the PP.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

What a shame .. some nobody foreigner showing hafeez how to hit spinners.
Hafeez not showing any intent whatsoever

 

[silentkiller187]

What a shame .. some nobody foreigner showing hafeez how to hit spinners.
Hafeez not showing any intent whatsoever

bit harsh to call phill salt a nobody foreigner, at the start of his career yes, but defo has potential to go all the way for england in years to come

 

[finalfantasy7]

Hafeez with a masterful 3 off 8 so far

have no idea why he came ahead of salt today

 

[Ahmed216]

Hafeez struggling at age 45

 

[silentkiller187]

Why no comments for great bowling by Abbas Afridi

very good bowler

 

[silentkiller187]

professor finally got his golf swing going

 

[Dark_Horse]

Definitely a 200 pitch bat first

 

[Super Santi]

Im sure i might have read this on PP before but Anwar Ali looks like the Wrestler Edge.

 

[shah_1]

Dhani is a clown

He will get smashed by most international batsmen

 

[OldWarHorse]

WTH is that celebration from Dahani?! Is he a character

 

[MenInG]

Hafeez with a masterful 3 off 8 so far

Hafeez c Anwar Ali b Dahani 43(29)

Did well

 

[PakPremi]

Dhani is a clown

He will get smashed by most international batsmen

Not really he is very capable bowler, his character cringiness notwithstanding.

 

[Rathore]

182 is total. this will be easily chased down in 17-18 over.

 

[shah_1]

WTH is that celebration from Dahani?! Is he a character

I don’t see how fast bowlers look good doing such acts

 

[Super Santi]

Great last over in fairness.

 

[shah_1]

Not really he is very capable bowler, his character cringiness notwithstanding.

He doesn’t have enough variety. He is getting smashed by PSL batsmen

 

[shamaan]

This is a par score

 

[MenInG]

 

[Maher96]

Good total by LQ. Going to be tough chase tonight.

 

[Snowflake]

Top top spell by Shaheen!

Also, Lahore crowd's energy is unmatched!

 

[Snowflake]

Both Shaheen and Rauf have stayed away from bowling anything into Rizwan's body. Very smart!

 

[Maher96]

Simple catch dropped, really.

Lets see if Maqsood makes them pay.

 

[reversehook]

me or rashid's elbow was bent so heavily when they were showing replays on the drs against rizwan 8.1 over mark

 

[Maher96]

Bizarre Reviews by Rashid in this years PSL, missed everything still going for Review.

 

[Maher96]

Match Point Lahore now.

 

[finalfantasy7]

tim david / maqsood / shah will have to play a blinder to win this

 

[Maher96]

needed those two hits off Rashid, his spell is over 2-33 after 4 overs.

 

[PakPremi]

Knew the LQ total was a winning one.
If Tim goes early its curtains for MS.
First defeat. R

 

[Saj]

Multan bubble bursting today.

LQ bowling attack is wonderful to watch when on song.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan sr below 100 twice in two games
