Lahore Qalandars (226/5) thrash Islamabad United (107) by 119 runs in Match 26 of PSL8

[MenInG]

Time for both sides to try out their bench strengths as both have qualified?

Should we expect the same intensity as before or will this be treated as dead rubber?

 

[ArabKnight]

Hopefully Shaheen Afridi doesn’t bat at #6 in this match.

 

[MenInG]

Hopefully Shaheen Afridi doesn’t bat at #6 in this match.

With their line-up, he shouldn't need to bat at all!

 

[Rana]

Don’t think this is a dead rubber

Better to win this fixture instead of falling 3rd and having to win 3 games in a row to win the PSL

 

[MenInG]

Lahore Qalandars have won the toss and opted to bat against Islamabad United in Match 26

Prelude to the final

 

[MenInG]

1 change each on both sides

 

[Rana]

The real Abdullah Shafique is back

 

[Rana]

Intensity levels seem down

Both teams just laughing and joking

 

[Champ_Pal]

Azam Khan is deceptively quick. Cat like reflexes.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lahore are like a super team. Hard to root for them.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Hasan Ali struggling. Giving away free runs.

 

[Rana]

From QGs pov, IU need to lose so that they can come hard against Peshawar

 

[Rana]

The mayor is here to feast!!!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Simon doull has some personal issues with Pak players. Not sure why he is invited at first place.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s best white ball Batsman

 

[Rana]

Kamran needs to hit the ball here

This isn’t an ODI. This is a T20 match on the flattest pitch in the world!

 

[msb314]

From QGs pov, IU need to lose so that they can come hard against Peshawar

?? This match has no bearing on qualification

 

[Rana]

?? This match has no bearing on qualification

It does because IU could surrender second position to Multan

 

[Rana]

Much better Kamran

 

[Rana]

Tuk Tuk Kamran

 

[Rana]

Fakhar 40 off 20 in the powerplay

Can he pull off a Jason Roy here??

 

[Rana]

[daytrader]

Smart bowling by Farooqi

 

[Cric1234]

Lahore need a big score Islamabad have a no fear approach they will fancy chasing 200.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar’s lost his timing here

 

[Rana]

Fakhar living a cats life here

 

[Rana]

Got to be fair

Come on Fakhar too many dots and singles

 

[msb314]

Billings is useless!

 

[Rana]

Fakhar click six

 

[daytrader]

Beautiful century by Fakhar

 

[Rana]

Love you Fakhar

Zindabad meri Jaan

 

[daytrader]

I think ISLU is out of this game. 200+ is too much for them against the Qalandars bowling. More scars coming their way

 

[Cric1234]

No score is safe at Pindi.

 

[Justcrazy]

187 . 2

3 overs to go.

 

[Rana]

Can Fakhar get 150?

What’s the Pakistan T20 record?

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar if stays till end , can make a difference of 10 to 15 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

Zaman goes big again

 

[msb314]

Can Fakhar get 150?

What’s the Pakistan T20 record?

122 by Babar vs SAF

 

[shariqnoor]

Not one word from Simon Doull about "strategic retirement" for Billings, who's clearly playing a match losing innings so far.

 

[Rana]

Hassan has been brilliant tbf

 

[Justcrazy]

197 . 3

12 balls to go.

 

[Rana]

No way is 220 getting chased with Rashid Khan in the side

 

[Rana]

Full Toss Farooqi

 

[Rana]

122 by Babar vs SAF

In domestic too?

 

[Rana]

Wiese hasn’t been great with the bat this year

 

[Cric1234]

No way is 220 getting chased with Rashid Khan in the side

His quick leggies will be deposited into the stands today.

 

[Rana]

His quick leggies will be deposited into the stands today.

I recon he will bowl a 2-36 run spell here

 

[Cric1234]

I recon he will bowl a 2-36 run spell here

Asif if he bats and doesn’t get out could score the fastest fifty here.

 

[Justcrazy]

227 is the target , this will be interesting.

 

[daytrader]

Will be disappointed if Lahore can't defend this even though I'm an ISLU supporter

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

Poor keeping by billings

 

[Rana]

Great pumping of Shaheen in that over

 

[Rana]

Can someone explain, why is Harris Rauf so non serious throughout this tournament?

 

[Cric1234]

Can someone explain, why is Harris Rauf so non serious throughout this tournament?

It’s fun cricket.

 

[Rana]
