[Syed1]

Congrats to Lahoris.... well played

 

[nextover666666]

What a win Ben duck beat Karachi kings what a game he played wish he could have got the century

 

[CricVet]

One of the best T20 knocks ever. Well done Dunk

 

[Titan24]

KK players hugging Dunk

 

[Forum363]

LQ can't chase this.

2 Amir overs. 2 from Jordan.

Not happening.

You got Dunk'd!

 

[Rana]

He’s a rubbish hack.

And what has Imam done that is so much more affective than Sohail?

 

[TeamPak95]

Dunked in style. What an innings by the bald menace. Well done LQ.

 

[Syed1]

You got Dunk'd!

He is an IU fan hoping against hope that LQ lose, otherwise IU is all but eliminated

 

[Titan24]

Excellent match both teams were good. This is the kind of contest you wanna see in Karachi vs Lahore

 

[moghul]

Dunk for Mayor of Lahore

 

[MMHS]

Frightening hitting. To think that Afridi scared 100 in 37 balls ....

 

[ARK Rafay]

KK players hugging Dunk

Imad was 1st. Probably saying 'hath halka rkhna mujh py, agli bar"

 

[Green Patriot]

Well done Dunk. Deserved the 100.

 

[Kroll]

Dunk the Destroyer take a bow son!

 

[Rana]

Hafeez cheesy interviews

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandar wins the game

 

[Sadozai]

Extra ordinary batting by Dunk

 

[Syed1]

Ben Dunk with are you not entertained celebration at the end:

 

[Mamoon]

And what has Imam done that is so much more affective than Sohail?

He is more effective at building an innings. Lahore needs a solid player in the top order with the likes of Dunk, Lynn and Fakhar playing off him. Akhtar needs to bat in the lower-order.

Lahore is actually not bad at all. They just need some minor tweaks and a new coach.

 

[watson367]

Ben dunk is going to win it mark my words

What did I tell you guys?

 

[watson367]

Dunk missed out on a well deserved century tho

 

[Pakpak]

despite hafeez trying his best to play sh1t we won

 

[Syed1]

What did I tell you guys?

Yeah thanks nostradamus

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Awesome from dunk and good supporting role from Sohail.

 

[Mueez]

Ben Dunk - extraordinary innings.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Sohail Akhtar stole Dunk’s hundred. Pity.

Team winning is more important than personal milestones.

 

[Titan24]

It was such a big crowd and they got a pretty amazing game

 

[Titan24]

Imad was 1st. Probably saying 'hath halka rkhna mujh py, agli bar"

Lol! Players are looking at Dunk in disbelief

 

[Mueez]

It was such a big crowd and they got a pretty amazing game

In my opinion, the best crowd till now.

 

[Mamoon]

InshAllah Sarfraz and Shadab’s team will go down.

 

[IAJ]

Sohail Akhtar stole Dunk’s hundred. Pity.

What are you talking about? He gave him enough strike to get there. Some good deliveries from Jordan hindered that.

Anyways brutal knock by him. These wickets are good for us crowd but nightmare for the bowlers.

 

[Slim]

Karachi>>>>Lahore as always. PSL has proved this once and for all

You were saying something? [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Did I hear imad say "Ghar aingay to dekheingay "

 

[ethan hunt]

Ghoda chowk in defence should be named after dunk

Justice is Imam Ul Haq not playing any kind of T20 let alone ‘build an Innings’.

 

[Titan24]

Thats the trend I guess.

Lahore, Lahore aye.

 

[Rana]

He has a personal agenda against Sohail. But would promote Imam Ul Haq to play for Lahore Qalandars

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

He doesn't need a reason to criticise any pakistani player.

Typical pupha ji of Pakistan.

 

[topspin]

InshAllah Sarfraz and Shadab’s team will go down.

Exactly what I'm hoping for.

 

[Slim]

Australia should prolly give Dunk a chance again in the t20Is. The guy has shown resurgence of epic proportions.

 

[adil79]

Exactly what I'm hoping for.

WOuld love united to go down as well, because I hate Misbah. This may not be just for Shadab as he has been great in passion and I would love to see him perform more and get in more confidence.

 

[nextover666666]

Sohail Akhtar stole Dunk’s hundred. Pity.

I thought you didn't watch PSL

 

[topspin]

Misbah is exactly the reason why I want them to go down.

The way ISLU kicked out Dean Jones was ungracious and appalling to say the least.

I will take Imam any day and twice on sunday over Fakhar. Fakhar is even a poor catcher as I have noticed sometimes. He just hasn't gotten his technique right to play at this level.

Ronay wala Qalandar bacha hamaray liyai lucky hai

Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings l PSL- 23rd Match l Lahore l 8th March, 2020 l Match Thread

Phew! Phew! Wow! Ben Dunk! Dunk! Dunk is the second greatest human-being alive after myself. Just brutal hitting! Immense confidence and self-belief to just tear apart bowling attacks.

Congratulations to Lahore. Very happy for them. Another blockbuster match between Lahore and Karachi. So happy to see my favourite rivalry live up to the expectations. It is amazing how matches between these teams end up going right down to the wire. Bring it on!

 

[Rana]

Lady didn’t shake hands with Ben dunk

 

[nextover666666]

Lahore game to the party today good job qalandars they can still make it lol

 

[ARK Rafay]

All awards for Ben Dunk.

 

[adil79]

Misbah is exactly the reason why I want them to go down.

The way ISLU kicked out Dean Jones was ungracious and appalling to say the least.

Agreed. Also, Dean Jones applied for our team coaching, but Misbah bagged both selector & chief coach positions. I never hated Misbah before. But this is just too much.

 

[watson367]

Funniest moment was between Dunk and Walton

Dean Jones should have been given the role over Misbah. The latter has no experience nor any/sufficient coaching qualifications to be even in the running for a Head Coach position of a major international side.

Lol yeah, hugging time

Hafeez in the post-match interview: "The plan was to not lose wickets in the powerplay"

Ben Dunk post-match: "When I came in, it felt like the game was slipping away from us"

 

[Hasan123]

What an innings by Dunk.

Everyone talks about how much LQ flop but Karachi are just as bad. They are so hyped and they haven't even gotten to the final once. After Lahore, they are overall the 2nd worst performing franchise in PSL history.

Karachi deserve the humiliation.

Dunk’s record 12 sixes set Lahore’s win over Karachi

Lahore, 8 March 2020:

Ben Dunk’s scintillating 99 not out – which included 12 sixes, the most in an HBL PSL innings – spearheaded an eight-wicket win for Lahore Qalandars over arch-rivals Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday.

The left-handed batsman crafted the highest third-wicket partnership of 140 with Sohail Akhtar, which helped Qalandars chase down the 188-run target with five balls spare.

Qalandars were dealt with an early blow in their run-chase when Mohammad Amir bowled Fakhar Zaman (0) on the last ball of the first over.

Mohammad Hafeez (16 off 24) was the next batsman to fall as left-arm orthodox Umer Khan removed the veteran all-rounder in the ninth over.

But Dunk, who came out to bat with the scorecard reading 50 for two, turned the match on its head with his immaculate power-hitting.

The left-handed batsman smashed Umer for three sixes in the 13th over and two overs later, in the 16th over, he struck three sixes and a four off Kings’ captain Imad Wasim. Over the course of his 40-ball knock, which also included three fours, Dunk broke his own record for the most number of sixes in an HBL PSL innings, which he had set against Quetta Gladiators at the same venue earlier this week.

With an unbeaten 46-ball 68, Sohail ensured that the runs continued to flow from the other end. The Qalandars’ captain smashed six fours and two sixes.

Earlier, Alex Hales scored a blazing 80 not out from 48 balls, studded with six fours and five sixes, after Kings were put into bat.

He was supported by Chadwick Walton’s quickfire 20-ball 45 – which included two fours and five sixes – as the pair added 93 for the fifth-wicket. Hales and Walton upped the scoring rate in the last five overs as they accumulated 72 runs from 30 balls.

Leg-spinner Maaz Khan was the pick of the bowlers for Qalandars as he returned two for 31.

Qalandars’ Dunk was named man of the match for his extraordinary knock.

The two teams will come face to face in Karachi on 12 March.

Scores in brief:

Karachi Kings 187-5, 20 overs (Alex Hales 80 not out, Chadwick Walton 45, Babar Azam 38; Maaz Khan 2-31)

Lahore Qalandars 190-2, 19.1 overs (Ben Dunk 99 not out, Sohail Akhtar 68 not out)

Result Lahore Qalandars win by eight wickets

What a humiliating defeat losing to LQ of all teams, pathetic stuff; no spine nothing

Hafeez in the post-match interview: "The plan was to not lose wickets in the powerplay"

Ben Dunk post-match: "When I came in, it felt like the game was slipping away from us"

what else would you expect from professor after he scores 16 runs off 24 balls...? the guy is the highest level of manipulator comparable to zardari and sharif...

 

[yasir]

Dunk played well, but now two times in a row, why yo are giving him left arm spinners??

Terrible Captaincy, he should have taken game deep, by bowling fast men , till 18...Shoudl have bowled Amir and Jordan in tandem. He gave away a whole lot by bowing two 20+ overs upfront. Umer and then Immad was really bad decision. At international level, Dunk will not get PSL kind of freebies, too many left arm spinners, given on plate to him.

 

[Savak]

InshAllah Sarfraz and Shadab’s team will go down.
