Lahore Qalandars (202/8) thrash Islamabad United (107) by 95 runs to secure their spot in the final of PSL X

[Hyder]

Two better bowling sides playing the final

 

[Hyder]

Whats the point of haider ali at 8??

 

[Shehmir]

One sided game. Expected better fight from IU today

 

[Rana]

Only Finn Allen and Saud can delete this new ball attack of LQ!

 

[Shehmir]

6 & a wicket usual issue for IU

 

[Shehmir]

IU is no doubt a dynamic team. Exploding on themselves today

 

[Hyder]

1. Naseem is a nothing bowler nowadays and is getting smashed by everyone

2. Salman mirza has very high speed action and as of now seems more in form

3. Naeem Hassan nawaz fakhar saim farhan these batsman should be backed with agha

4. Shaheen is still ur most potent bowler when on song and should sort out his death bowling or shouldnt bowl in death

5. M Harris needs to get his head sorted out

6. Abbas afridi always takes wkts but doesnt look potent even. Hassan ali looked more potent than him. U may disagree here.

7. LQ might win this one again

 

[Shehmir]

Haider Ali at number 8. Cant understand this logic

 

[Shehmir]

Plenty of questions for IU...

 

[RidiculousMan]

Haider Ali at number 8. Cant understand this logic

Hesson rates him as a finisher

 

[Shehmir]

Well deserved victory for LQ.

Agree with you apart from Shaheen. He can never sort out his death bowling. We've been saying this for years. Today's performance of shaheen is after being dropped. He needs a kick up the backside to perform better. Death bowling will always be a worry.

 

[Savak]

IU lost momentum during the second half of the PSL. They were exposed outside Rawalpindi and in Lahore. Mike Hesson did not really impress in this tournament as coach.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Kusal Perera's innings was the difference today. Gun player!

This is what's called a hammering a proper hammering.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naseem wasn't good throughout the PSL. His speeds being in the low 80's while the likes of even Irshad was faster than him.

Depending on Farhan throughout while the rest did jack also was a reason of their downfall.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And PAK have replaced Shaheen with Naseem in the T20 side

 

[Sachin fan]

And PAK have replaced Shaheen with Naseem in the T20 side

According to pak fans and management, the 35 averaging Naseem (which is among the worst stats in t20), is better than the 22 averaging Afridi because Naseem bowled economically in couple of PSLs (ignore the fact that he hasn't been economical in international)

Saud lol.

 

[Rana]

Saud lol.

Saud left hander v Shaheen and Salman Mirza

It’s a key match up

 

[BouncerGuy]

Yeah. Saud can carry the bat for his team for sure.. WHY NOT... play 50-60 balls and score run-a-ball and take his team to 20 overs... Only said can do that...

 

[BouncerGuy]

But anyway. Naseem was pathetic yet again. Not sure why selectors are blindly selecting this guy for nothing. He has been a joke of a bowler for some time now... Should have been booted like others.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Yesterday Saad started slowly and Ramiz was tearing into him, putting pressure on Warner

But nothing to say today when Shafique comes in and plays 4 dots in a row in the powerplay

Ramiz is lahori fan boy and a regional biased commentator...its a known thing all these years

 

[Sarmad]

Congratulations to Lahore. Brutal dominance without Fakhar firing at the top

 

[Sarmad]

Ramiz is lahori fan boy and a regional biased commentator...its a known thing all these years

More power to u. Ramiz is a racist unfortunately

 

[Sarmad]

Ramiz is lahori fan boy and a regional biased commentator...its a known thing all these years

Ramiz always prefers those from Lahore. So sad.

 

[Sarmad]

Lahore has gained momentum at the right time.

 

[Sarmad]

Lahore has come back I the tournament like Aussies in 1999 World cup final.

 

[Sarmad]

To be honest, KK played than lahore this season. Points table suggest the same.

But cricket is a funny game

 

[Sarmad]

KK deserved to play the final. But proved better on the day and knocked them out

 

[Sarmad]

The good thing is that players have clicked at the right time for Lhr

 

[Sarmad]

Pereira and rajapaksha have not let Lahore miss Mitchells and Raza

 

[Sarmad]

Qta deserves to win the final but cricket is a funny game.

 

[Sarmad]

A team whose 11 players coordinate well than the opponent team wins the match

 

[Sarmad]

A team whose 11 players coordinate well than the opponent team wins the match

And this separates cricket from other games where only individual matters like tennis, squash etc

 

[Sachin fan]

Afridi proving his captaincy credentials again

 

[Sarmad]

Two better bowling sides playing the final

I think QTA bowling ks far better than Lhr.

 

[Hyder]

Another thing of note is do you really need head coaches in t20 leagues. Have a manager and specialist bowling batting coaches for youngsters.

Captain and manager are enough otherwise

 

[Rana]

I think QTA bowling ks far better than Lhr.

Quetta spinners yes

LQ pacers are slightly better but they can go for big runs if Allen is in the mood to have some Lahori Siri paye

Then how will they accommodate their references??

Qta has seen bad patch since last 4 seasons. I really wish they win

 

[Sarmad]

Qta has played well in the the psl and topped the points table as well. they also won the qualifier 1

 

[Sarmad]

I have loved lahore as well. But this time I wish qts lifts the trophy

 

[Sarmad]

The IU coach is sane who will coach pakstan now. I wonder his mentality given how quick he makes changes to the playing XI

 

[Sarmad]

How can naseem play after leaking 50 runs in 3 consecutive matches
