Lahore Qalandars defeat Quetta Gladiators by 8 wickets in 17th match of PSL 4

[Abdullah719]

LQ and KK both playing today, both desperate for victories.

QG are comfortably top of the table right now but would like to get back to winning ways after Ingram's blitz in the last game.

At any rate, LQ's games are always interesting so should be fun.

 

[Shafi]

[MENTION=93082]Abdullah719, can please mention both team's full squad so we can see whom left out?

Will add when I get the full teams.

What was mentioned at toss: Shaheen and Haris are playing for LQ (Butt dropped), QG are playing Danish Aziz and Mohammad Hasnain.

FZ captain for LQ, AB playing. LQ win toss, field first.

 

[Shafi]

Good to see Quetta is giving chances 2 new players while Qalander still same thing. No chance for Umair Masood.
I will support Quetta today.

Shaheen seems to have a back spasm

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Lahore now looks a better team with Haris back in the side...

 

[shariqnoor]

Ahsan Ali showing why Yasir Shah is a garbage bowler in limited overs. Truly garbage.

 

[shariqnoor]

Never quite understood why batsmen don't attack him in Tests regularly. Root did it in Manchester, Warner in Melbourne and we saw how garbage he was.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Good cricket played there by Ahsan ali,.. Though he needs to work on his foot movement but in t20s he can get away with that..

 

[Shafi]

The biggest problem of Lahore is they don't understand quality of a player. They always go for brand value. There is serious lack of team balance.

 

[ugem]

Don't Understand why Yasir Shah keep playing ahead of Hassan Khan. LQ has literally wasted Hassan Khan.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Not sure why they play yasir shah ahead of hasan khan who was used really well by QG and sarfraz in the previous seasons...

Aaqib what a mess of a coach that they have

They are unable to make a winning unit with all the good players they have in the team...Sooner they get rid of Aaqib is better for the team..And with results of LQ Aaqib should go back to coach UAE or find another associate team as i see no other team in PSL would take him,,,

 

[Shafi]

Umar Akmal will never learn and will be ever a reliable batsman for the team. Waste of time to invest more on him.

Highly unlikely.Lahore owner doesn't any understanding about cricket. He can only invest money but doesn't know who is the main culprit. Beside they can play PSL5 next year because there in no relegation system even if they end up no. 6.

 

[Khan12]

Saud is miles better then danish God knows why he doesn't get a chance.

 

[Khan12]

Sarfraz takes a wicket. He's gotten Babar run out few times too.

 

[Omer2002]

Saffy and his running unbelievable.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Is Quetta losing it's plot now in this PSL? Who knows they might end up at no. 3 or even below in the points table

 

[Rathore]

That gauhar ali is a terrible keeper he dsnt even know the basics

 

[b.lesner]

someone give ball to Corey Anderson

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Watching PSL feels like an exercise in self hate.

 

[Mueez]

I am impressed by Fakhar’s captaincy.

Level-headed and good field placement.

 

[ataullah]

149 kph rauf

Another mystery just as Haris not getting a game till today being in the LQ team

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Saffy and his running unbelievable.

Not sure if he thinks it is only 10 yards just like the gully cricket..

 

[Omer2002]

Hasnain gets Fakhar.....

 

[Khan12]

147 by Hasnain and 148 . wow, wow.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

hasnain realy impressing me

 

[Rayyman]

Haris in hope he does well.

Hasnin looks freaking great. 18 and so fast.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

How on Earth was Mudassar starting over Hasnain?!!?

And Butt over Haris?!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haris Sohail what a class!

 

[Khan12]

How on Earth was Mudassar starting over Hasnain?!!?

And Butt over Haris?!

It's a rule 1 rubbish guy has to play at least.

 

[waheed_sofi]

Now 149

 

[DRsohail]

Husnain waw.

 

[Fahdi]

In all the war hullabaloo I forgot about the PSL. Tuning in to see Lahore Qalandar winning

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

I’m just desperately looking for only one up and coming local batsman who can show some character and score at least one fifty in this tournament. Surely that’s not a big ask?

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Wow Hasnain!!!
Never thought he can be this quick and they were playing Mudassar ahead of him!!
Can't believe no PSL team picked him up and he was only taken after Naseem Shah had an unfortunate injury.
Future of Pakistani bowling is looking great Mashallah.
Would love to see him in the next year's U19 WC.Damn if the PSL would have been a bit earlier he could have been in the main team for the WC.
Haris,Musa and now Hasnain!!!

 

[Rathore]

Good test innings by harris so far

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haris,Musa and now Hasnain!!!

I'm 100% sure they can touch 150KPH if work with the right coach

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is an opportunity for Lahore Qalandars to up their NRR. I expect them to chase this before 15 overs.

 

[Rayyman]

Enjoying this partnership from the two best batsmen in the world

 

[Titan24]

Good test innings by harris so far

No point in doing anything else when balls are more than the runs required.

 

[hisham_ashraf]

I'm 100% sure they can touch 150KPH if work with the right coach

Well Hasnain and Haris have already bowled at 149 and Musa bowled one at 147-148 in the U19 WC so I don't think hitting 150Kph would be that tough for them.
Really exciting times ahead..

 

[Titan24]

Tuned in a bit late.

Was Fakhar the captain? How was he today in terms of tactics?

 

[shah_1]

146 kph

 

[shah_1]

148 kph

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Good test innings by harris so far

It is an innings that required to play to win this game... LQ were all at shambles for stability in the middle order through out their PSL from 1 - 4 which Haris Sohail is just providing exactly that..

Cricinfo showing him rm and Rauf as rmf.

okayish, but quick to learn from his own mistakes...

 

[topspin]

If Haris Sohail continues to struggle with his strike rate (like in prev. PSL comps), then I don't think he should play in the WC.

 

[Titan24]

Thanks.

 

[Rayyman]

If Haris Sohail continues to struggle with his strike rate (like in prev. PSL comps), then I don't think he should play in the WC.

He's playing well right now actually. The likes of Mailk/Hafeez would've gotten out to an ugly hack right now. Haris has been injured and this is his first match for awhile. You can see his temperament is unparalleled.

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Would be nice if someone posts his speeds in his spell

 

[Rathore]

Net run rate factor

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Enjoying this partnership from the two best batsmen in the world

me too.. that is how low scoring runs should be chased.. wickets in hand, overs to spare, relaxed, no risks to take.. finish it off in style...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Net run rate factor

Win will help a big amount to that + with wickets in hand will also help... And Im sure this will be chased down with 3-4 overs to spare.. No worries at all...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I would have thought that Lahore would have wanted to chase such a modest total a bit quicker than what it will be as the NRR of all the teams would be coming into play a bit later.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Some are happy with Awais Zia, Farhan and even will call Rizwan Hussain the next Gilchrist or Sangakkara...


Haris playing after 2 months and back from injury, perfect platform for him to have some time there in the middle batting, chasing a low score with ABDV... Shouldnt lose his wicket, just hit a boundary or 2 make the SR 90+ should be all good and all done.....

 

[Rayyman]

Lol Sarfraz

Lahore looking good

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why did he not bowl out Gurney and Tanvir?

What was he doing keeping them back while defending such a low score?

Sarfraz's captaincy really...

 

[QalandarFan]

Has AB stepped down from captaincy?

 

[Abdullah719]

Has AB stepped down from captaincy?

LQ management had mentioned that he was only captaining temporarily on a match by match basis, it's good that they switched to FZ now since AB won't be available for the whole tournament.
