[Asad T]

Not impressed with dance. Practice nhi karke aaye hain. This is shadi Barat kinda dance

and the song before that they were reciting the kalma every other min, then reciting takbeer in between songs.

such a bipolar half-time show

 

[Shehmir]

Great knock from Faheem

That's how you run Pakistan

 

[Shehmir]

Fakhar innings will be key here for LQ

 

[Josh]

Amir looking good

 

[Barragan]

If LQ lose, then it was Shaheen's captaincy that loses it for them

No way should you ever give one of the last two overs to an inexperienced bowler

He decided to give the last over to a newbie in Mirza and that could prove to be the costly mistake

I thought he captained ok -- Shaheen tried to bowl as many overs to Nawaz to nullify his aggression, and Shaheen eventually got him out. I thought that was brave of him.

Just credit to Faheem for batting well in the end

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naeem and Nawaz need to learn rotation of strike as there's just way too many dot balls in between.

It actually goes for the entire group of players in Pakistan that needs to do it.

 

[cricfan432]

If lq chases 200 in final, then they deserve to lift the trophy

 

[Barragan]

Just credit to Faheem for batting well in the end

That one decision cost them

Salman Mirza has not bowled in the death

To the give him that over in the Final was a awful mistake

Rauf and Shaheen should have bowling 19th and 20th overs

 

[cricfan432]

Naeem is good, need to induct him in domestic system

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Faheem equalising his batting exploits with a poor over here.

 

[Asad T]

Naeem is good, need to induct him in domestic system

just needs to work on his fielding

 

[cricfan432]

Naeem has played cricket in Australia, its a fact

 

[Rana]

What a dumb decision to give Faheem the 3rd over

 

[Asad T]

That one decision cost them

Salman Mirza has not bowled in the death

To the give him that over in the Final was a awful mistake

Rauf and Shaheen should have bowling 19th and 20th overs

if Shaheen saved himself, Nawaz would have probably continued his rampage right till the end -- arguably could have cost LQ more

for now, looks like Saud made a mistake by taking Amir off too early

 

[Rana]

Could be a match losing over that!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wowowowow Naeem. Explosive start.

One of the few Pakistani players with legitimate elite power.

 

[Barragan]

Naeem reminds me of a young Shahid Afridi

Fearless

 

[Asad T]

Could be a match losing over that!

LQ got their revenge on Rana

 

[Asad T]

Naeem reminds me of a young Shahid Afridi

Fearless

makes Fakhar look slow

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar gets Fakhar 2nd ball

 

[Josh]

Faheem doesnt like to take Ahsan, gave it back to Lahore

 

[Barragan]

if Shaheen saved himself, Nawaz would have probably continued his rampage right till the end -- arguably could have cost LQ more

for now, looks like Saud made a mistake by taking Amir off too early

Nah, Nawaz was tiring and was playing blindly

He would have been out anyway

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over so far Abrar

 

[Rana]

Abrar gone fat as well?

 

[Asad T]

Abrar gone fat as well?

following in the footsteps of Yasir Shah

 

[Asad T]

hahah pak's not know how to mexican wave

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman Tariq drops Naeem

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This guy how he plays is anyone's guess

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

96 dropped catches in the tournament!

Only in PSL.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

That kind of drop in a final is simply unforgivable.

 

[Rana]

Now Toxic Ramiz

Watch him hype Abdullah and go after Naeem

 

[Nasty Naz]

Unman Tariq is a specialist spinner who brings zero batting value, zero fielding value (in facts it's a huge negative) and he is likely bowling with an illegal bowling action.

Yeah not much of a future for him.

 

[Asad T]

fiedling is so comical

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Alastair Cook has been a nice addition to the commentary box.

 

[Josh]

It gets you irritated when you see such an easy catch get dropped at this level. Let the ball come to you and wait with soft hands. Basic mistake

 

[Shehmir]

96th dropped catch of the tournament

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

The terrible local fielding is the reason why stats of Pak batters don't mean much. Every single player is dropped before they make big runs. The fielding this year has been completely atrocious.

 

[Rana]

17 runs since wicket

17 off 18 balls

Solid comeback by Quetta

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Like I said many times before too in other threads the fielding standards are appalling in the PSL.

 

[Shehmir]

What sort of injury Waseem jnr today? He bowled very well for QG in middle overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor bowling from Khurram Shahzad

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like LQ are batting very deep. They should be able to chase this with Sikandar and Rishad at 7 and 8. Also SSA at 9

 

[cricfan432]

Abd shafique number 3 in odis but no in tests, for hes no good against turn and swing

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 134 runs in 78 balls.

Good partnership developing here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Usman Tariq welcomed by Naeem with a 6

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another 6 by Naeem

That was a crunching sound off the bat

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How did Akhlaq come in?

Asif Ali out?

 

[Justcrazy]

Shafique 29 from 14 balls ..... solid cameo here , needs to keep going .

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is exactly 10

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Another 6 by Naeem

That was a crunching sound off the bat

i have seen enough of Naeem to think he is better than Hassan Nawaz

 

[zaidihusain]

To be honest Abdullah Shafique has outperformed Fakhar in this PSL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

i have seen enough of Naeem to think he is better than Hassan Nawaz

 

[Shehmir]

Now run out chance missed of Naeem

 

[Rana]

But wicket

Rana jee always has the last laugh

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Naeem gone this time Fernando takes the catch

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Nice little knock from Naeem.

I think that's the game.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

But wicket

Rana jee always has the last laugh

Tum dono hi aik jaise ho

 

[Justcrazy]

Naeem gone , Quetta makes a comeback

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah and ifthikar and co can go play volley

 

[PakPremi]

The terrible local fielding is the reason why stats of Pak batters don't mean much. Every single player is dropped before they make big runs. The fielding this year has been completely atrocious.

Foreign players have been a lot more often in the psl

 

[RidiculousMan]

Gun player Perera. Him and Umar Akmal came in the scene around the same time. One has faded away and the other still has his touch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 113 runs in 67 balls.

This game can go down the wire

 

[RidiculousMan]

As long as Abdullah is there. Lahore has it. He is the calm key

 

[Barragan]

Using the same faulty zinger wickets and even in the final

Embarrassing

 

[cricfan432]

Perera, rajapaska, raza, akhlaq. Lahore might win this

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 105 runs in 60 balls.

 

[Shehmir]

Its a see saw game. Fittingly for the final

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Perera struggling a little here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over by Abrar just 5 off it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shafique gone

 

[Rana]

There you go

Technique ain’t the guy

 

[Shehmir]

Big big wicket at this stage

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Shafique gone

 

[Rana]

Blind umpire on the walk

 

[Nasty Naz]

Without Abdullah, I'm not sure Lahore can win this match.

 

[Rana]

First ball of the over

Always a 4

The Faheem Ashraf set up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I wouldve sent in Sikandar instead of Rajapaksa

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lahore messed this up themselves
