Lahore Qalandars (191/4) bid farewell to their arch-rivals Karachi Kings (190/8) by a 6 wickets triumph in Eliminator 1 of PSL X

[Asad T]

Easily our best all format batting talent. If only he can manage his confidence issues.

Honestly, I think he's just ok. He had a few good moments, especially in Asia and earlier on in his career.

But his issues with in-swinging deliveries persist. Generally, he's also really slow in ODIs and only accelerates after he gets his 50.

I think he's been found out, and needs to work on his technique a bit if he is going to be part of our international team. He played superbly today, and has been good this PSL. However, judging Pak players based on PSL performances is not indicative of future international performances.

Definitely shouldn't be judged on PSL but he has played innings of substance in all three formats. Has some technical flaws but the positives far outweigh those. Ive always felt his issues are more mental than anything else.

KK was atleast 20 runs short today

 

[Kianig89]

What a knock from ABDShafiq , class @Rana

 

[Shehmir]

Abdullah Shafique played fabously today

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations to LQ.

 

[Shehmir]

Shafique should get MOM award today

Very very well played lhr in 2nd innings

 

[Sarmad]

Lhr was off color today. Sloppy in the field

 

[Sarmad]

Lhr took 2 hrs to complete 20 over. Speaks of the sluggishness they displayed in the field. It was merely a luck factor

 

[Sarmad]

However, good for qalandar to survive. The crowd will be live 2mro as well

Karachi were so poor with bat and ball. Can't believe they let Lahore win this game when they got so many chances. Specially Warner who got 3 lives.

 

[Sarmad]

Shafoq has always been pleasing to see. But he performs in Asia only like hafeez. He fails in NZ SA AuS Eng

 

[Sarmad]

Plus consistency is another issue with Abdullah Shafiq

Karachi were so poor with bat and ball. Can't believe they let Lahore win this game when they got so many chances. Specially Warner who got 3 lives.

I think it was a matter who plays worse. Lhr was worse in 1st half. KK proved they are worse than Lhr

 

[Sarmad]

Not quality ckt from both sides today

 

[Sarmad]

Fielding standards have gone down in PSL this year

 

[Sarmad]

Agreed. I was waiting for khushdil to bowl and take a wkt or two to give me some points

Karachi have been hopeless today. Lahore's fielding is the only reason they have been competitive. Couldn't make use of Lahore's bad bowling and now even a washed up player like Perera is tonking them around. Also why hasn't Khushdil bowled today? Unless he is out of the ground can't think of any reason why he hasn't bowled. Even Shaheen turned to Naeem and that says a lot about Warner' captaincy.

 

[Sarmad]

In test 42 innings , he averaged 38 , with 5 hundreds.

In OD 24 innings he averages 31 with strike rate of 79.

I would say an average player by international standards.

I hope he can be a little more consistent in test matches and push his average towards mid 40 s.

Shafiq hasn't done justice with his talent like umar kamal.

 

[Sarmad]

Babar has never played an innings like Shafique is the PSL. Eliminator chasing a high total. Clutch performance.

More power to u . Babar never finished a match. Very rare

 

[zarak]

More power to u . Babar never finished a match. Very rare

yeah its just a shame to see him overshadow his peers. They may not have his average but they are usually more clutch. Fakhar, Saim, ABD, Haris are all more likely to win you a pressure chase than Babar. Babar can only play supporting roles but can never enforce a win. I like him, I like his skill, he is elegant. But shame he is not clutch.

Poor Warner. His innings was overshadowed by legendary Asif Ali hitting a single at a 100 strike rate to knock out Karachi!

According to @Rana logic, Asif is greater than Warner and should be made Australias captain

Asif Ali has 26 runs in this tournament

These are more valuable than the 650 runs combined from Babar and Rizwan.

Deal with it. Not my problem.

His single today was also more valuable than Warner's 75

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lord Asif Ali winning games for his franchise by taking single... WOAAHHH.... what a player.

By TBH, Lahore deserved that victory. Karachi lost the plot after 10th over while they were batting. David warner played a slow knock...
