Lahore Qalandars (241/3) easily beat Peshawar Zalmi (201/9) by 40 runs in Match 15 of PSL 8

[MenInG]

Shaheen was all praise for Babar and wanted people to respect him. All that will disappear when the first ball is bowled.

Lahore at their home ground with the support they have should be a handful for a Zalmi side which is clearly struggling; Huge interest in how Babar Azam performs but the limelight will be on the young guns as well.

Another loss for Zalmi will not augur well for their chances of making it to the Play-offs so a lot at stake in this game.

 

[MenInG]

Points table after Karachi's 66-run win over Multan offers interesting possibilities

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

Lahore Qalandars have won the toss and opted to bat first against Peshawar Zalmi

Babar probably would have bowled first anyways

 

[Mirpuri Don]

Saad Masood for PZ, is he that all rounger (bowl leg-spin) who took a 5fer during the PJL ?

 

[Rana]

Irshad

 

[ChTab]

Probably the worst fielding quality of all the leagues in the world.

 

[ChTab]

Brilliant over from Salman

 

[Rana]

What a useless player Baig is

 

[ChTab]

Awful Awful player Mirza Baig don't know why Qalandars selected him in the 1st place. Abdullah should start in his place as an opener.

 

[ammar_merry]

Outfield looks lush, good crowd. Pitch has bit of movement. Like it.

 

[ChTab]

This pitch is spicy, why can't they produce such pitches in test matches.

 

[Rana]

Shafique tuk tuk

 

[Omer2002]

Shafique tuk tuk

What do you expect miracles???

Pitch is seaminng and bouncing

 

[ChTab]

Shafique tuk tuk

And FaKhar is playing at a S/R of 300.

 

[Rana]

Proper Test player Shafique

 

[Omer2002]

And FaKhar is playing at a S/R of 300.

Lol exactly

 

[Omer2002]

Shot sonnn

 

[Rana]

One six in the over


Now Shafique will look for singles

 

[Omer2002]

I think he just hit a four aswell..other side fakhar whose actually in for his hitting is going snail pace..

 

[ChTab]

One six in the over


Now Shafique will look for singles

What is the S/R of Fakhar & how many boundaries he has scored in this innings?

 

[Rana]

Destroy this junior leggie!!!

 

[Rana]

Keep pumping this leggie!!

 

[ChTab]

Fakhar playing the role of Babar Azam for Qalandars i.e match losing role

 

[Omer2002]

Obv leggie is nervous..he looks a kid. Is he an allroundrr can he bat??

 

[ChTab]

Fakhar still edging the ball even after playing 14 balls, shows you what a horrible player he is even if there's a little bit of movement in the pitch.

 

[Rana]

The mayor is warming up!

He’s waaaarming up!!!

 

[Rana]

What a chaaploos!

 

[VForVendetta]

What exactly is Fakhar trying to achieve here? This anchor thing has really gone deep in Pak cricket system. I simply don't understand this obsession with anchoring & taking deep crap from top Pak batters. It's pretty embarrassing to be fair.

 

[Rana]

Effortless six

 

[Rana]

Fakhar could slog sweep powell if he wants

 

[Rana]

Aamer Jamal good enough for Pakistan but not good enough for Peshawar lol

 

[Rana]

160 will be too much for PZ

 

[PakEngFan]

Fakhar again reminding us why he’s a flop t20 players. There is a reason why Rizwan replaced him as an opener.

 

[Rana]

The mayor!!!!!

 

[Omer2002]

Lahore have a top attack...not sure how much movement is left in pitch

 

[Rana]

Class batting Abdullah

Really well batted

 

[TheSultan]

Fantastic Abdullah

 

[Omer2002]

Tuk tuk shafique gets a 50 i guess

 

[Rana]

Fakhar Zaman remind us why he was replaced by Rizwan )

 

[Rana]

Babar clueless as usual

 

[shah_1]

Abdullah has learned this shot from Golden boy Harry Brook

 

[SamNJ]

Is the square boundary really short.
Fakhar is clearing them blindfolded.

 

[Rana]

Serious 6!!!

 

[Rana]

Peshawar Zalmi becoming the new Karachi Kings

 

[TheSultan]

This is a lesson to babar and rizwan - hope they’re watching and learning

 

[PakEngFan]

Abdullah showing fakhar how to play t20.

 

[Rana]

Sam Billings looking like Jeffery Dahmer in the Dahmer series

 

[Rana]

Cheetah Shafique

This is the AS I can build up like Paul Heyman does with his guys!!

 

[MenInG]

Funny to read people who told us Abdullah is not suited for T20s now praising him. Funny ol' game this.

 

[Galla]

Woah amazing shots by shafique

 

[Rana]

Funny to read people who told us Abdullah is not suited for T20s now praising him. Funny ol' game this.

He’s batting at 3

And he’s batting well.

 

[Galla]

Funny to read people who told us Abdullah is not suited for T20s now praising him. Funny ol' game this.

I guess people forget that he had a t20 century on debut so the capability was always there.

 

[Adi_62945]

Abdullah shafique is a funny type of batsmen. Bt technique he looks like a decent test match batsmen but he has got power to hit the ball longer.
He can use those power in test matches.

 

[Rana]

The mayor!!!!!!

 

[PakPremi]

Also those who told us Fakhar is much more suitable as an opener than Rizwan,when frankly there is little difference in strike rate but atleast Rizwan scores sugnificanly most games.

 

[shah_1]

Fakhar has still got a dodgy knee

 

[Rana]

Fakhar has hit 30 runs in 10 balls I think

 

[Rana]

I have a feeling the real Abdullah Shafique has been kidnapped and they have sent a humshakal

Don 3!!!

 

[shah_1]

Abdullahhhhhh

 

[CricVet]

Lahore is pacing inning well and should manage to brush aside Zalmi today unless, Haris shows up.

 

[Rana]

This is Viv Richardsesque!!

 

[shah_1]

I have a feeling the real Abdullah Shafique has been kidnapped and they have sent a humshakal

Don 3!!!

Harry Brook's soul

 

[m.shah]

Great atmosphere

 

[ChTab]

Shafique definitely has some power. Definietly deserve a place in ODI team If not the T20I's

 

[Rana]

That innings by Azam Khan has raised the bar for Pakistani players!!

Massive respect

 

[Rana]

Strike rate 182 are you dizzy bruv!!

 

[CricVet]

Good inning. Job well done by Abdullah

 

[m.shah]

Good knock from Abdullah

 

[zarak]

Great to see this. Finally local batters performing

 

[Rana]

This is how all Pakistani players should just bat!

 

[topspin]

Abdullah Shafique has finally got out of that mental midget zone. Technically he's very good. I would rather see him opening for Pakistan in ODIs instead of Imam.

 

[zarak]

Jinxed. But Zalmi is really light on bowling. I suspect Karachi might have a late surge and knock them out.

 

[AAli98]

Can this Micky mouse league not be the criteria for national selection please.

You won’t see SA selecting roussow or Eng selecting vince from psl performances. Let them slug it out in domestic’s. This is why the test team is in tatters bowlers thinking 4 overs are enough.

 

[TheSultan]

Fantastic selfless batting by Abdullah. I hope selfish “Anchors” are watching

 

[topspin]

Fakhar Zaman is better suited to batting at 3 in T20Is and 4 in ODIs. He struggles against the harder new ball.

 

[shah_1]

No wonder Zalmi is struggling

Proper club level bowling

 

[zarak]

This is how all Pakistani players should just bat!

It can work if we have a deep line up and patience with 100 all outs that can happen from time to time.

 

[zarak]

Fantastic selfless batting by Abdullah. I hope selfish “Anchors” are watching

Anchors will have to up their game and anchor with 140 plus strike rates throughout.

 

[shah_1]

Saad )

Sharam karo Haaji sahab for selecting such a nobody
