Quetta finding their feet - Multan on a roll - big game this evening!

 

[Coolcapri]

I was pleasantly surprise on some of Rizwan shots over Mid off, Especially the six to SSF.

He is still improving & sky is the limit for him,

He has raised the benchmark also inspired lot of others that with hardwork, anything is possible,

Just look at Shan Masood batting who was labelled test cricketer and how good he played against Lahore. Very smart and calculated.

Good sign for Pak cricket.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Quetta’s team is too OP in my opinion.


Roy
Vince
Smeed
Faulkner
Duckett
Noor Ahmed
Hetmyer

And the quality of local players that they have makes it even harder to play 4 overseas players.

 

[MenInG]

Quetta Gladiators have won the toss and have opted to field against Multan Sultans in Match 7 of PSL 7

 

[Rana]

The hack out 2nd ball lol

 

[silentkiller187]

what a poor shot, get rizwan out of the pak team and replace him with sharjeel immediately , said no one

 

[Rana]

Sarfaraz absolutely schooled Rizwan there

Set a complete off-side field and asked the hack to reach for the leg side if that’s all he can do. Embarrassing dismissal.

 

[Rana]

What a mentally weak captain, him and Babar both! Lose the toss and their body language is so negative!

 

[Rana]

Lol at Shan Masood is up the pecking order to play for Pakistan in T20s because of his quality tuk tuk

 

[silentkiller187]

Lol at Shan Masood is up the pecking order to play for Pakistan in T20s because of his quality tuk tuk

sarfraz is ahead of sharjeel in the pecking order to , cos rambo aint letting the fixer anywhere near the pak team anytime soon

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood be like:

“Why not run a 60 ball 70 like Babar and Rizwan considering I can’t hit a 60 ball hundred like Fakhar and Sharjeel”

 

[Rana]

Poor decision to bowl Faulkner now and not Naseem when the ball is new

 

[MenInG]

He can score 7 more 0s, he is still gonna play in the pak t20 team for 2022.... You can wish all you want for him fail.

He has already achieved the highest icc award for t20 cricket

The most undeserving winner of the award. Mitch Marsh was the actual T20 player of the year

 

[YousafTheBeast]

What.A.Boring.Game.

Quetta to chase down 162 and win by 9 wickets with 20 balls remaining. Exciting

Isn’t Shan Masood exciting you? He is up the pecking order

Shan Masood be like:

Naseem can bowl in T20s

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Not me but I’m sure [MENTION=137868]silentkiller187[/MENTION] can’t take his eyes off the game.

 

[Rana]

Not me but I’m sure [MENTION=137868]silentkiller187[/MENTION] can’t take his eyes off the game.

High octane stuff by Shan. Amazing running between the wickets getting his team to hopefully 160 (even though you need 220 here batting first)

Loving it, if only sharjeel was as agile he may have got somewhere

 

[silentkiller187]

Oh so these are the international bowlers only Babar and Rizwan can smash as openers but are too too good for Sharjeel )

Please provide examples of sharjeels blistering 100s in t20 International.... oo wait

 

[smkk]

Oh so these are the international bowlers only Babar and Rizwan can smash as openers but are too too good for Sharjeel )

Of course they are too good for Sharjeel, because these centuries were made while representing your country in an International match which is far more reputed, high pressure and far greater honor to do so. Something that a fixer would never understand the value of.

 

[silentkiller187]

if sharjeel played this innings like masood his fans would be doing bhangra, shows how hypocritical they can be

 

[Rana]

Says the same people who rate IPL over international cricket

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] ji doing his duas, please shan get out clueless insight once again

 

[world cup captain]

Lol at Shan Masood is up the pecking order to play for Pakistan in T20s because of his quality tuk tuk

You really have a knack for backing the wrong horse. Kind of an impressive skill.

 

[silentkiller187]

good knock, pushes himself a little higher in the peking order

 

[Rana]

So Masood was in there from ball one and his team has 150 in 18.2

Great contribution from a T20 opener I must say

 

[ha5is12]

Says the same people who rate IPL over international cricket

Nobody is talking about ipl mate. Sharjeel is unfit, inconsistent and has a history of selling his teammates out. On the other hand Babar and Rizwan have performed at the highest level of international cricket at an unbelievable average and strike rate. Stop your obsession over a bloke who doesn't even deserve a psl contract.

 

[smkk]

Says the same people who rate IPL over international cricket

Where, and when?

I do not even consider IPL is better than PSL let alone over International cricket.
Listen bro, if you do not have any valid argument to make then let it go. Please do not sprout nonsense over here.

 

[silentkiller187]

So Masood was in there from ball one and his team has 150 in 18.2

Great contribution from a T20 opener I must say

and sharjeel as opener has led his team to 3 defeats out of 3 using same logic, do you want another tissue

 

[MenInG]

 

[shamaan]

If you watched the game you would know that the pitch was different to the ones played before games.

 

[shamaan]

This is a good score proberly just above par for this wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

175 is the target for Multan Sultans

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta batsmen on the crease here , the chase begins

 

[silentkiller187]

is it me or does Bazid Khan try and prove Nick Knight and David Gower wrong at every opportunity, sounds like they are getting a little annoyed with their responses aswel

 

[Savak]

Am surprised that Khushdil has not bowled for Pakistan. He looks like a more than useful left arm spinner. If he can bowl reliably every game then he will be a useful pick for our ODI and T-20 team.

 

[sweep_shot]

Should be another win for Multan today.

 

[Rana]

What was Dahani doing there?

 

[Omer2002]

I think first win after losing toss today

 

[silentkiller187]

What a mentally weak captain, him and Babar both! Lose the toss and their body language is so negative!

such a mentally weak captain rizzy is , he has put the squeeze on what is normally a formality, bat 2nd and win. Another brilliant bit of analysis

 

[Justcrazy]

84 . 2

11 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Gladiators need 90 runs in 54 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate almost 10 now

 

[Justcrazy]

Ben ducket needs to bat deep here.

 

[Saj]

Duckett gone.

Time for Sarfaraz to show some urgency.

 

[shamaan]

Great fielding placement

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Tahir gets the big fish , Ducket gone

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Tahir gets two in two ,

Multan Sultan on top here

 

[Saj]

What a lousy shot from Sarfaraz when you have lost 2 wickets in the previous over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gladiators need 67 runs in 36 balls.

Quetta has fallen behind in this chase here

 

[NauV]

Quetta innings just puts Shan Masood's innings into perspective!

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Tahir gets third wicket !

 

[Saj]

QG's batting depth looks weak.

Faulkner at 8, not much left after that either.

 

[Major]

The most undeserving winner of the award. Mitch Marsh was the actual T20 player of the year

Dont worry. The icc award academy determined rizwan to be crickter of the year for t20

 

[Major]

Quetta has a trump card called iftikhar.

This game aint over till multan gets the chacha

 

[world cup captain]

IU management makes a dumb decision every year. Trading Azam for Ifti was a massive blunder.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow that's a monstrous six by Iftikar..

 

[Justcrazy]

Iftikhar is hitting some lusty blows here

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Monster hits from Iftikhar.

They traded Iftikhar for the baby buffalo hahahaa

 

[world cup captain]

Ifti is just having a laugh now. Incredible hitting this over.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol 3rd six of the over.. that dropped catch of the first ball by Shan already proved costly..

 

[Smbhayi]

And finish it with one bounce four.. 24 runs from the over..

 

[Saj]

Thoughtless bowling from Imran Khan.

Medium pace in eth slot - thank you very much.

 

[Justcrazy]

Iftikhar 30 from 13 balls , what an innings.

 

[Smbhayi]

Iftikar gone.. good bowling by Willey

 

[JibranAnsari]

dont understand whats the role of sarfraz ahmed in PSL or in t20 cricket , captaincy and keeping is questionable and batting isnt made for t20s.

 

[Justcrazy]

Willey gets Iftikhar !

 

[Justcrazy]

dont understand whats the role of sarfraz ahmed in PSL or in t20 cricket , captaincy and keeping is questionable and batting isnt made for t20s.

He is finished as a cricketer.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Thoughtless bowling from Imran Khan.

Medium pace in eth slot - thank you very much.

My friend calls it hala lala bowling. Just run in and bowl without thinking and at medium pace, this will happen.

 

[Smbhayi]

Hahaha, imran Khan...

 

[shamaan]

What is Imran Khan doing.Good to see Rizwan having a go at him.

 

[Rana]

Tanvir just handing the game back to Multan

 

[Saj]

Fantastic over from Willey.

Could be the over that turns the match in MS favour.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gladiators need 23 runs in 12 balls.

Match down the wire here

 

[Smbhayi]

Tanvir choked big time this over.. though double means (thanks to misfield) he's off the strike next over..
