Markhors (284/9) extend their winning streak with a 92-run victory over Dolphins (192) in the 6th match of the Champions One-Day Cup 2024

Unfortunately Akif is some one who looks million dollar when he bowls but always goes for plenty of runs and also doesn't pick many wickets either. Is it just bad luck?
 
Salman Ali Agha is a highly underrated player.. almost always performs, both with bat and ball…
 
Did you hear Misbah? He's still on about old ways. Was talking about how the goal for the team and for the future of Pakistan cricket is to build a platform till the 40th and then finish well for 300 in the final 10.
Unironically the table toppers and the only unbeaten team in this tournament thus far.

Misbah is right. Pakistan do not have 11 batsmen like England. Our bowlers can never become proper batsmen like chris woakes. Our best bet is to play out first ten overs. Be aggressive in middle, and try to smash everything after 40 overs. We should not be copycats.

Yeah cause their the best team lol. Totally different ball gake when you have to lead a weaker side in an international setting and win an international icc tournament like misbah did, OH WAIT HE NEVER WON AN ICC TOURNAMENT HAHA
 
Listening to this Bismillah guy behind the stumps is so irritating
 
Please God please God may Australia odi series and England test series come soon
 
Rizwan and agha only. All other batting positions are occupied by non performers like abdullah, babar , saud and shan.
What has Rizwan ever done in ODI cricket except one or two knocks? Agha also is a limited cricketer he can accumulate but can't make use of death overs.

Who are the Gilchrists/Dhonis/Quintons waiting to replace Rizwan in PAK domestic cricket.
 
What a crap umpire, all you have to do is hit the pads with him and he will give it out
 
Mohammad Haris in T20I'sis the only serious alternative to Rizwan imo.
There's no one ready for the longer format. Pakistan will be in trouble if they don't find a good young all format WK soon. Maybe Haseebullah can become one

does not have to do much as long as he keeps well. He is an all rounder not a batsman alone.

You don't need an all format keeper. Just get Rizwan to retire from T20Is and that will naturally reduce his workload and will give time to Haris to establish himself.

Agha is a middle order player. he needs to know how to rotate strike against spin.For death overs, muhammad harris should be played as a finisher. He has a good hitting technique only. He has no technique to play swing or seam.

lol. harris struggled in psl and even in a low quality league like lpl too. He has no technique to bat above no. 6.We always think that the ones that are not playing are better than the ones playing.

At least in terms of potential I meant.
 
One thing is for sure that the gap between the national team players and current domestic players are not much , they more or less equal in talent (which is not good enough for national team)

90% of players in domestics are not even first class level. It's an exercise in medicority.
 
I have a question we find mystery spinners like Mr Abrar and Afghans who have Mujeeb injured have got this new u19 lad Ghanfanser who i am telling you will be a world beater soon. How!!!!
 
Faheem Ashraf in post match press conference:

"Our team is playing fine but we haven't been able to construct partnerships which is why we are suffering in this tournament.

The conditions in Faisalabad are perfect for batting. I would say the pitches are brilliant, but only for batting. For bowlers, if you're getting the swing early on then it's ok, however; later on, you need a lot of control to survive here as a bowler"
 
Credit goes to Misbah-ul-Haq's technical acumen and Mohammad Rizwan's astute captaincy for Markhors' unbeaten run in the Champions One-Day Cup 2024

Kamran's 2nd century, Salman's all-round show in UMT Markhors 3rd straight win

A brilliant century from Kamran Ghulam, all-round heroics by Salman Ali Agha and a vital half-century by skipper Mohammad Rizwan helped the UMT Markhors beat Engro Dolphins by 92 runs in the sixth match of the Bahria Town Champions One-Day Cup here at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad on Wednesday.

Markhors have now won three out of three matches they have played and are sitting at the top of the points table while Dolphins are winless after two games, occupying the bottom of the table. Dolphins will face Allied Bank Stallions in their next match tomorrow which is set to begin at 3pm.

Chasing a total of 285 runs the Dolphins succumbed to 192 all out in 43.5 overs. Salman Ali Agha, after contributing 49 runs with the bat in the first innings returned to take 3-34 in his 10 overs. Earlier, Kamran Ghulam, who currently leads batting chart with 239 runs, hit his second century of the tournament accumulating 113 runs after walking into bat in the first over. He also shared a 122-run third-wicket partnership with skipper Rizwan (51, 67b, 3x4s, 1x6).

Kamran hit 12 fours and three sixes in the 110 balls he faced while Salman chipped in with three fours and one six in his 47-ball outing. The duo also shared a 71-run fourth-wicket partnership after Rizwan’s departure in 27th over. Muhammad Imran’s 27 off 25 balls with the help of two massive sixes helped Markhors cross the 250-run mark. Zahid Mehmood remained unbeaten for 15 runs off 14 balls hitting one four.

Faheem Ashraf took 4-50 while Mir Hamza returned with two wickets. Usman Qadir and Sameen Gul dismissed one batter each.

Dolphins, who opted to chase earlier in the day, found themselves reeling throughout the pursuit of 285-run target as they were reduced to 13-2 and then 99-5 when Saud Shakeel (41, 56b, 3x4s) top edged Salman to short fine leg. Asif Ali fought back with a half-century but it was not enough as he fell for 50 off 43 balls hitting three four and three sixes.

Apart from Salman’s tight bowling, Muhammad Imran’s three wicket burst (3-28) also helped Markhors to reduce Dolphins from 135-5 to 161-8 effectively ending all their chances to win as they finished 192 all out.

Tomorrow’s fixture: Allied Bank Stallions vs Engro Dolphins, Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad at 3pm (local time)
 
Saud shakeel is terrible at everything. His fielding is awful his batting is so bad and his captaincy is like Zimbabar's captaincy.

I don't understand the hype behind this loser saud shakeel. He is an awful player without any talent.
Kamran Ghulam is the one who should be backed instead of this loser.

Kamran Ghulam should be given fair chance like this saud terrible.
 
This saud shakeel has already played 14 odis which is more than enough to judge his capabilities and he has failed badly.

Hopefully he is not selected in next odi assignment.

Why should he be removed from test? He has performed in test? Besides Australia series where everyone was crap, he was the 2nd best performer for the Bangladesh series and the best performer for the sri lanka test series?

It's been the same for years, out national team has dropped to a very poor level
 
It is unacceptable to see not a single side has successfully chased any target in this series and a lot of sides even batting first have struggled to bat 50 overs. T-20 Cricket has badly destroyed our ODI and Test Cricket. Players do not know how to construct an innings any more.

Rizwan has made a solid claim atleast to be rewarded the ODI and T-20 Captaincy. PCB however is hessitant because unlike Babar he is a lot more difficult to control and the PCB has also received instructions from the establishment to reduce the number of players from KPK in the team.

His technique has been exposed at internatinal level now. Teams will eat him alive now. HE cant play short ball at all and he cant leave balls on 5th or 6th stump. Even in this champions cup, his dismissals were similar to that of ban and aus series. I know selectors wont drop him now but i am telling you england will expose him badly in the upcoming series.

shame on establishment if thats true. KPK has always produced best players for Pakistan.

Don’t know the regions that well, but I have noticed quite a lot from KPK seem to be fitter in comparison. So even if their talent is limited they are making the most of it. Which is automatically going to give them an edge.

They are unfortunately the biggest age fudgers :ROFLMAO:

They are the biggest bottle jobs in the country

You will see it soon

Another one of those claims which like the previous poster won't have any evidence. Fakhar won your last icc trophy. Guess where he's from? I don't want to down the route of regional otherwise you won't have anything to stand on.

Go down that route

I’ll say it again, KPK players are chokers. Deal with it.

These are things you can’t control unfortunately. Can’t reverse age. Maybe you can work on not bottling but difficult to precisely say how to stop it.

Fitness is something that is easy to work on. There’s not much excuse to not be fit as a cricketer. And sadly talented players will lose entire careers over the fact they have not been bothered to get fit.

Again it's an emotional post, rather than a one with any evidence. You can throw whatever you want, unless you can provide any evidence.

He simply can't digest a team winning which has Rizwan in it.

Kpk have dominated domestics for years. Losing here and there is no big deal. We are people with big hearts, it's good to give other regions something to cheer about.

Yeah don’t keep bottling it when it matters but doing bhangra for meaningless wins.

The same choking is now becoming evident in the Pakistan team for quite some time now.

I have been following PP for a long time and I can't believe some of the hate which rizwan is subjected to. Rizwan has many flaws and personally I can't stand his childish antics, but there is little denying that he's by far, the best wk in the country.
 
Any team I said. Your single-point agenda to bring down anything that has Rizwan in it has long been exposed - and honestly it is tiring now to read your constant mindless defaming of him.
Oh well,

Yeh tou hoga.

Pakistan is currently a minnow level team. I think you need to know the definition of choking first. As far as the domestics are concerned, can you acknowledge that kpk has been best team for the last few years and have dominated the domestic circuit.
