Lahore Qalandars (209/6) defeat Islamabad United (121) by 88 runs to end their unbeaten run in PSL X

[The Bald Eagle]

Momentum and Crowd have surged quickly at Gaddafi Stadium in Match 19 of PSL X.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Islamabad have been poor today

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hammering

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Sikander!

 

[Barragan]

This pitch is so much better than yesterday

I think a fresh pitch has the most Aus type bounce and tends to ease

Probably as early as the 2nd innings

Na it seems Multan are just plain clueless

Terrible day in the office for them

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Thankfully SSA didn't promote himself today for a three ball duck

 

[Rana]

If IU don’t chase this….they will absolutely annihilate Peshawar Zalmi

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol seems like Holder is back to normal business

 

[Rana]

Out first time in 4 innings?

 

[Barragan]

Na it seems Multan are just plain clueless

Terrible day in the office for them

The first game in Lahore was also very similar

LQ were blown away and PZ chased down the total with ease in the 2nd innings

 

[Rana]

96 runs in last 6 overs!

 

[Ahmed216]

Asif Ali

 

[PakPremi]

Typical Asif Ali shot straight in fielder's hands.

 

[Ahmed216]

Typical Asif Ali shot straight in fielder's hands.

Unfortunately for him Karim Jannat is unavailable . He's getting hit for sixes in IPL currently

 

[Rana]

Asif Ali 6 runs= likely to make play lofts

Rizwan 300+runs= likely to get knocked out in last position

 

[Rana]

Sahibzada or bust!

 

[Rana]

Lahore maximise their Batting resources and get the score Multan should have against them….

Now let’s see if it’s enough!

If Lahore defend it…you know Rizwan messed up big time with his 76*

 

[Rana]

Sam Billings deserves a lot of credit here.

He lead the charge by taking on Imad!

 

[Rana]

Contributions by everyone

Nothing extravagant

No one guy acting like he is Desh ka Choudhary who has the license to not hit!

 

[Rana]

LQ have a 5th bowler problem

IU can exploit it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I bet Matthew Short didn't come to Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Farhan and Gous big wickets here. They can take the game away easily

 

[Barragan]

There's nothing much else Asif Ali could do on the last ball

 

[cricfan432]

Lets see if farhan survives shaheen

 

[Rana]

I bet Matthew Short didn't come to Pakistan

No he definitely arrived. He was in their dug out. Left after 3 games.

 

[aqibcric]

What a inning by sikander

 

[The Bald Eagle]

A big test awaits Sahibzada today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No he definitely arrived. He was in their dug out. Left after 3 games.

Because he's seen it first hand how bad it is?

 

[Rana]

Because he's seen it first hand how bad it is?

I think he was injured

IU is ok for overseas players. They don’t mind it in that camp.

 

[aqibcric]

Looking like a tough one for united

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhan gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

300 wickets for Shaheen in T20s

 

[Ahmed216]

A big test awaits Sahibzada today.

Afraid of short pitched balls. A complete tailender against decent fast bowling

 

[mominsaigol]

Because he's seen it first hand how bad it is?

Bhai he's not a bollywood villian, he got injured and hence was sent back.

 

[Barragan]

Farhan fails

 

[Ahmed216]

Afraid of short pitched balls. A complete tailender against decent fast bowling

There you go. I am hardly ever wrong

 

[mominsaigol]

Afraid of short pitched balls. A complete tailender against decent fast bowling

He's not a tail ender against bowling. He's very good, he's extremely poor against short pitched bowling.

Which is why I suggested he become out r test opener. I've seen him play FC, he usually ducks out of the ay against short pitched in fc. Unfortunately in t20 you gotta go for every delivery.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bhai he's not a bollywood villian, he got injured and hence was sent back.

 

[Barragan]

Quality from Agha

 

[Barragan]

Gous is a strange batsman

Majority of the time looks clueless, but then strikes the ball so well

 

[cricfan432]

Agha kaptana what a shot

 

[Rana]

What a crap bowler Rauf is!

 

[Barragan]

What a shot from Salman

 

[Rana]

Why did Shaheen take off Asif Afridi even though Sahibzada was out???

 

[Barragan]

What a shot from Salman

Another great shot

 

[Rana]

Look switched off? Is it just me or that looked out? No one appealed??

 

[Rana]

The 5th bowler…surely not Mitchell

 

[cricfan432]

Salman should be three format captain

 

[Rana]

Excellent over Asif Afridi!

 

[Rana]

Oh no this could give the momentum right back

 

[Rana]

What a dumb captain!!!

 

[Rana]

Just bowl Sikander!

He knows how to bowl!

 

[Rana]

There you go!

Just trust the man fgs!

 

[Barragan]

Don't try to reverse against Raza

He bowls quick

Should have used the crease

But great knock by Salman

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistani batsmen trait play unconventional shot unnecessarily when basic shots are working, Haris is particularly poor in that aspect

 

[Barragan]

Azam might just kill Raza here

 

[Rana]

Shadab not stepping up when it’s 12.5 runs per over?

 

[Justcrazy]

United need 130 runs in 63 balls.

IU need a couple of good overs to release the pressure

 

[Barragan]

What a shot by Gous

 

[LordJames]

Lets see what Azam Khan can do today

 

[Justcrazy]

IU need to hit one six every over , to come close.

 

[Barragan]

That's plumb

Why would you review?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This nepobaby is just trash. As an IU fan it pains me to see him in the team.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shadab should have come in here.

I guess they want some pinch-hitting.

 

[Barragan]

Haider Ali in instead of Shadab

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Azam gone , Lahore come closer to win

 

[PakPremi]

Reiffel did not want to watch Azam bat for long due to his poor physique as a sportsman.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Haider Ali is a wonderful talent. In another country he would have been treated much differently.

 

[Ahmed216]

Azam can't.

At this point I am beginning to feel sorry for him. He looks lost.
May be he has health issues that are chronic and difficult to treat.

Was always a poor cricketer but his problems seem to extend beyond the cricket field to me.

 

[Rana]

Yaar brilliant bowling by Asif Afridi

 

[Rana]

What’s this clown Tareen doing here?

 

[PakPremi]

Haider Ali wasted opportunity to showcase his talent, rush of blood as always.

 

[Rana]

The clown was here to support IU

So MS can still go through lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Haris Rauf is blowing away IU here , brilliant bowling.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Chance for Imad Wasim to bury the ghosts of New York.

 

[Shehmir]

Not out

 

[Shehmir]

Haris finally bowling well today

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Chance for Imad Wasim to bury the ghosts of New York.

Another chance for IW

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Is Imad trying to play a tribute to his India innings?
