Lahore Qalandars [187/4] defeat Karachi Kings [186/9] by 6 wickets in PSL 6 thriller

[naseem]

Same template every match . Team would look to go all past 200 but fell short by a few runs only to be chased by the team batting Second.

I hope it is changed now

 

[imshally81]

Harris Rauf the Next Wahab Riaz

 

[Rana]

High octain Cricket. Loving it!

 

[Titan24]

149 kph bouncer

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[MHN1293]

149 by rauf.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Nabi gone , this may cost karachi 15 runs here

 

[shariqnoor]

Excellent picks by KK in this year's PSL. They've got a power packed batting lineup. Every batsman in the top 6 can play at 170 SR.

 

[imshally81]

They will not play Sharjeel lower than 3, and only one of Falhar and Sharjeel will play. All the players you mentioned should be selected in the squad.

Then Sharjeel can replace Rizwan as a opener...

 

[Rafa]

200 looking difficult again

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Lahore spinners really provided a lifeline for KK, meat and drink to Sharjeel and Nabi. They were 58-3 at one point.

 

[Titan24]

im not sure whether daniyal should be allowed as an emerging player tbh...hes 28 i feel that category should be kept for players under a certain age

Dilbar is 28. Daniyal is 22-23.

But yes till last year Dilbar was emerging. I also believe category should be for U23 and this time its fine.

 

[Justcrazy]

four

Christian takes the mantle from Nabi here

 

[Rana]

LQ having too many team meetings. Sohail Akhtar seems clueless and Shaheen looks like the boss

 

[naseem]

Sharjeel
Rizwan
Babar
Hafeez
Haider
Sarfraz
Faheem
Imad
Hasan
Qadir.
Saheen

RAuf
Hasnain
Zahid
Maqsood
Talat

[Titan24]

Patel vs his Nottinghamshire teammates Imad and Christian

 

[Rana]

poor by Imad

 

[MRSN]

Imad will remain a mediocre cricketer.

 

[Audrey500]

Rauf celebrating as if he took Kohli’s wicket in the wc final at the Modi stadium.

 

[Titan24]

Gone for duck here Imad. Should have taken a single and given it to Christian and get his eye in for couple of balls

 

[Rana]

OMG is that Maqsood at 8? can he even hold a bat?

 

[MHN1293]

Imad is more about timing and placement then a full fledged power hitter.

 

[szrana007]

Will this be chased down ?

 

[Rana]

Ive seen it all!

Maqsood reverse sweep 444444

 

[LeedsGreen]

Dilbar is 28. Daniyal is 22-23.

But yes till last year Dilbar was emerging. I also believe category should be for U23 and this time its fine.

oh really...the graphic earlier showed him as being 28

 

[MRSN]

KK has a long tail. lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Christian needs to play till the end here

 

[PakPremi]

Is Dilbar injured?
Im waiting to sing DilbarDiilbar song

 

[Audrey500]

Hafeez is the biggest coward in the history of cricket. Samit having a tough time with the ball today. Yet still makes him bowl.

 

[MRSN]

Will this be chased down ?

if Hafeez doesn't get run out then yes

 

[Titan24]

Is Dilbar injured?

Yes had hamstring injury.

 

[Justcrazy]

KK has a long tail. lol

In 20 20 , you need maximum 5 batsmen plus a couple of all rounders , having better bowlers wins you more game.

 

[MHN1293]

When karachi actually needed amir yamin for the first time in 4 matches he has neen dropped.

 

[Rana]

Funny guy is Maqsood

 

[MHN1293]

Hafeez is the biggest coward in the history of cricket. Samit having a tough time with the ball today. Yet still makes him bowl.

But hafeez isnt the captain.

 

[Titan24]

oh really...the graphic earlier showed him as being 28

I didnt see but, might have gotten it wrong. As all the previous graphics and LQ’s own development program showed him as 22-23

 

[Rana]

oh really...the graphic earlier showed him as being 28

Yeah it said he was 28. I was surprised also

 

[Audrey500]

Hafeez is the biggest coward in the history of the game. Samit was clearly struggling with ball today especially with confidence. Yet does not bowl.

 

[imshally81]

200 seems difficult here..

 

[Audrey500]

But hafeez isnt the captain.

Lol you make ot he has no powers. He is very much so the captain. If he wants to bowl he can.

 

[Titan24]

Unless Christian gets in beast mode, I dont think 200 is possible now

 

[Rana]

200 seems difficult here..

Maqsood single off the last ball in the previous over costing them

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi need big hits here , strong finish

 

[naseem]

Again team batting 2nd gonna win....poor...finish to innings again...I can see.

 

[Rana]

Why is it that the gaurenteed starters for Pakistan are nice to each other but they are rude with those who are on the fringe of first team selection?

 

[imshally81]

444

 

[LeedsGreen]

Again team batting 2nd gonna win....poor...finish to innings again...I can see.

amir needs a good powerplay with the ball for kk to have a shot

 

[Rana]

Shaheen Hugging Babar and Rizwan on TV during a match but mouthing off to Maqsood

 

[imshally81]

Run out

 

[Rana]

Who does Maqsood think he is refusing the run to the senior batsman?

 

[imshally81]

Now 190 seems difficult here

 

[Saj]

Qalandars bowlers pulling it back in the last couple of overs.

 

[MRSN]

pathetic from Maqsood. Should have run himself out as Dan was far more dangerous.

 

[szrana007]

Need to keep KK under 200 here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lahore have bowled well here , they have kept the total in control.

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Christian run out. Poor game awareness from both

 

[szrana007]

A needless runout,lol

 

[Rana]

Sending Maqsood at 8 was the worst decision

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to keep KK under 200 here.

200 would be 24 off last 2 overs here , Karachi does not have batting power left , difficult to get there unless Lahore bowl bad.

 

[LeedsGreen]

shaheen seems to be acting captain on field.... how long before he takes the role and sohail akhtar is throen into the abyss

 

[Rafa]

What a poor end to the innings here

 

[Titan24]

shaheen seems to be acting captain on field.... how long before he takes the role and sohail akhtar is throen into the abyss

Shouldnt be long. Sohail Akhtar is on his last legs but, we can never underestimate the love of LQ management with their own products.

 

[srh]

Looked like it went for 150m tbh.

That Nabi's 6 should count as 8

 

[Rana]

3 solid yorkers in a row

 

[szrana007]

Great yorker by Rauf.

 

[Rana]

Dangerous bowling by Rauf.

 

[MHN1293]

Surely amir would have been better than ilyas and maqsood.

 

[srh]

How come Danish Aziz cannot make this KK team? They are clearly short of 1 batsman.

 

[Titan24]

Rauf with some gold yorkers. It looks like he sometimes doesnt have the confidence to ball them against proper batsmen as if he can bowl them like this it will make it difficult for any batsman to hit.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

This means two things. Either sharjeel struggles against the pacers and accelerates against the spinners or he take a while to get going in which case he wont be able to come in and hit from the get go if required at 4 or 5.

It’s the former. Watch his over vs Sohail Khan and vs Shaheen Afridi today.

Even in middle overs, he looks more comfortable against spin than pace. Look up the overs in today’s match.

I’ve been noticing this pattern for several games now. He’s a very good player, but I think he’s playing in the wrong position.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky Boundary

 

[Rana]

Surely amir would have been better than ilyas and maqsood.

Amir and his chest gaurd

 

[Titan24]

How come Danish Aziz cannot make this KK team? They are clearly short of 1 batsman.

KK management loves having atleast 2-3 permanent bench warmers in the squad.

 

[Justcrazy]

That run out of Christian will cost Karachi 10 - 15 runs here

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Rauf with some gold yorkers. It looks like he sometimes doesnt have the confidence to ball them against proper batsmen as if he can bowl them like this it will make it difficult for any batsman to hit.

It is because his run up is not consistent. If he had a balanced run up, he would have been a different bowler.

 

[Rana]

Second short ball the guy has just ducked in the death overs. Why is he batting at 8???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir has become so bad that he doesn't even come out to bat before No.10 or 11

 

[Rana]

Haris has put on weight.

 

[Justcrazy]

Anything below 200 , Lahore would fancy there chances , Karachi would need there bowlers in best form to win this .

 

[Audrey500]

Maqsood another short ball coward. Bouncer comes in, 19th over and just ducks.

No heart.
