[Kaddy]

Lol, Lahore has really poor H2H record against PZ.

 

[Titan24]

Important match for both the teams.

 

[ammar_merry]

lynn and rauf back

 

[Omer2002]

lynn and rauf back

Surely this will make lahore even stronger ..could they go through the back door

 

[Darkrai]

I don't know who to support for this one.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[Omer2002]

Lahore seems to have too much bowling considering Hafeez and Samit bowl

 

[ammar_merry]

Surely this will make lahore even stronger ..could they go through the back door

if they win today they have every chance.

 

[Shafi]

Obsession with Rahat and Yasir by PZ is really pathetic.

 

[ammar_merry]

Lahore seems to have too much bowling considering Hafeez and Samit bowl

Could hv played faizan(batsman) for maaz.

 

[Sadozai]

Their is no back door entry for Lahore Qalandars. Only way for them to qualify is by winning at least 2 of their remaining 3 matches. At the moment only Islamabad United is seeking some kind of back door entry.

 

[Khan12]

Hopefully haider gets to open which won't happen.

 

[Ahsanax]

Lahore can never be consistent in team selection and batting order

 

[trickyone]

Obsession with Rahat and Yasir by PZ is really pathetic.

Model Town Quota

 

[ARK Rafay]

Let's go Lahore Qalandars.

Tom Banton has been a flop so far.

 

[Omer2002]

banton goes first ball...looks like peshawar in deep trouble

 

[Titan24]

Duck for Banton

 

[Omer Baloch]

Pakistani pitches ain't suiting Banton.

 

[Titan24]

Haider was doing well at no 3 not sure why he is demoted

 

[Titan24]

Pakistani pitches ain't suiting Banton.

Dunk, Hales etc didnt seem to have much problem

 

[ammar_merry]

qalenders on a roll

 

[ARK Rafay]

Peshawar Zalmi trying to attack straightaway and only losing wickets in return.

 

[Omer2002]

why is Haider not coming as he is an opener ..do these guys have brains..

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Fakhar increased the number of balls

 

[Titan24]

Livingstone over Haider was confusing considering the form Haider has been in and Livingstone in comparison

 

[ARK Rafay]

Dunk, Hales etc didnt seem to have much problem

Banton is young. He's going through a tough time this PSL. I'm sure he'll come even better in the future.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

why is Haider not coming as he is an opener ..do these guys have brains..

Malik up next

 

[ammar_merry]

banton goes first ball...looks like peshawar in deep trouble

Struggling against left armers? amir and now Shaheen

 

[Titan24]

Banton is young. He's going through a tough time this PSL. I'm sure he'll come even better in the future.

Definitely a pretty talented batsman. My point was pitches have been exceptional in 90% of the matches and thus conditions cant be an excuse

 

[Kroll]

Lets see if the uncles can show the kids how its done.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hopefully haider gets to open which won't happen.

They did the opposite, below Malik now.

We get to see the experienced duo in action

 

[Omer Baloch]

Dunk, Hales etc didnt seem to have much problem

They do take few deliveries to settle in, Banton's being impatient.

 

[Titan24]

PZ made a mistake of promoting Livingstone over Haider in such a crucial match

 

[ammar_merry]

samit's bunny lol

 

[Omer2002]

samit the mighty patel destroying Peshawar....

 

[Kroll]

brainless shot by Akmal

 

[Omer Baloch]

Lahore peaking at the right time, and playing their best 11.

 

[Kroll]

The Golden Child is in.

 

[ammar_merry]

Kami never learns.India always kept getting him out on cut shot from 2005 to 2011 semifinal.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Lahore qalanders on fire

Let’s see some action from rauf!!!

 

[Omer2002]

surley they cant get aggressive now...between has anybody seen Lahore own Mr Rana this year...

 

[ammar_merry]

Lahore peaking at the right time, and playing their best 11.

They are always compared with Pakistan team. So they should aim big and fluke a tournament win.

 

[Titan24]

LQ with two emerging player today in Dilbar and Maaz

 

[Omer2002]

Fakhar drops malik....

 

[ammar_merry]

Kami never learns.India always kept getting him out on cut shot from 2005 to 2011 semifinal.

qalender hv the fielder for malik where kami used to get caught.

 

[Khan12]

They did the opposite, below Malik now.

We get to see the experienced duo in action

Then people are where is the young talent. I hope PZ gets smashed

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fakhar drops malik....

that was not a drop. they either stick or go through.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Haider inning will be crucial for PZ. but i believe lahore is here to win now. they want to win.

 

[watson367]

Good start by Qalandars

 

[RehanG]

147kph by Dilber.

 

[Omer Baloch]

Shaheen should've bowled another over.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

is dilbur bowling 150+ lol .. looks like he is hurrying batsmen a lott

 

[Omer Baloch]

Malik playing nicely.

 

[Ahmed216]

Malik is playing some backfoot strokes to send Misbah the signal that he can play in Australia

 

[Ahmed216]

Oh wait did i just hear this lady commentator praise the upcoming talent on display in psl 5

 

[Omer2002]

now haider dropped...

 

[ARK Rafay]

Malik is playing some backfoot strokes to send Misbah the signal that he can play in Australia

That length ball will hit Malik on the helmet in Australia.

 

[Titan24]

Dilbar with fastest of 148 kph today

 

[Sadozai]

Out of their total 10 matches, Lahore Qalandars will play 8 matches in Lahore, 1 in Islamabad, and 1 in Karachi.. Does any other team has that luxury?

 

[Kroll]

Malik has the knack of always playing quickly when he's in.

 

[ammar_merry]

get rid of this umer akmal shot haider

 

[Ahmed216]

This kid haider has some serious issues against the short ball

 

[Omer Baloch]

Out of their total 10 matches, Lahore Qalandars will play 8 matches in Lahore, 1 in Islamabad, and 1 in Karachi.. Does any other team has that luxury?

They deserve that luxury, didn't played at home last season also.

 

[watson367]

Get Malik out boys

 

[Mujtaba2900]

This kid haider has some serious issues against the short ball

Fgs he doesn't have any issues against short ball
The problem is after 2-3 balls instead of waiting for bad ball he goes for glory shot which needs to be sort out asap

 

[Titan24]

Out of their total 10 matches, Lahore Qalandars will play 8 matches in Lahore, 1 in Islamabad, and 1 in Karachi.. Does any other team has that luxury?

Its the first PSL in Pakistan. Division of matches will probably be different in upcoming seasons as we might see new venues as well.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

now haider dropped...

Haider trying babar short for 3rd man . Lucky didn't Got out

 

[ammar_merry]

Fgs he doesn't have any issues against short ball
The problem is after 2-3 balls instead of waiting for bad ball he goes for glory shot which needs to be sort out asap

He has problem with short ball. India U-19 seriously exploited in the worldcup.Anyway He is improving all the time.

 

[Ahmed216]

Fgs he doesn't have any issues against short ball
The problem after 2-3 balls instead of waiting for bad ball he goes for glory shot which needs to be sort out asap

You cant deny he doesnt get into good positions against quick short ball. That has more to do with his bent elbow at the time of delivery , a bit like suresh raina and his partner malik in this partnership

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Haider is better playing proper shots.

 

[shah_1]

Dilbar is so calm

 

[Sadozai]

They deserve that luxury, didn't played at home last season also.

Except Karachi Kings which other team played at their home venue last season?

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Dilbar is so calm

After his bbl match wasn't expecting this from dilbar . Genuine t20 bowler short run up serious pace variations Good prospect maybe for League's

 

[shah_1]

You cant deny he doesnt get into good positions against quick short ball. That has more to do with his bent elbow at the time of delivery , a bit like suresh raina and his partner malik in this partnership

Yup this is one area he needs to work on

Playing for Pakistan is no big deal these days, he should aspire to become worldclass

 

[Omer2002]

i have to say where peshawar were and with not much batting left ..malika has played a blinder so far

 

[ammar_merry]

Good test for haider.

 

[Sadozai]

Its the first PSL in Pakistan. Division of matches will probably be different in upcoming seasons as we might see new venues as well.

I can understand but PCB could and should have managed this better. KK played 1 game against MS at Multan & other at Lahore. Lahore have their both matches against the same team at Lahore, which doesn't make any sense.

 

[Titan24]

147.6 kph from Diblar and Malik cuts it for a six

 

[Omer2002]

wooooooooooooooow Haider what a shotttttt
