[Angrez Pakistani]

Time for KK to try their bench strength so they can find out who they can retain or let go for next year. Maybe give a go to Talha Ahsan and Faisal Akram as well.

 

[zacattakk]

First of all Karachi need to drop the USELESS Joe Clarke.

 

[Rana]

Still plenty to play for Babar

The opposing captain will be making a strong claim to his national captaincy. Let’s see if Babar can outsmart him

 

[Rana]

Ya Allah!

Please give Babar the Hidayat of winning the toss and electing to bat first! This isn’t the UAE and his team isn’t Pakistan!

 

[sweep_shot]

Multan should get another big win.

 

[MenInG]

Karachi Kings has won the toss and elected to bat first in Match 23 against Multan Sultans

[Rellu_Katta]

such shame... even now Karachi isnt willing to give youngsters like Faisal Akram a chance

 

[PakEngFan]

This Faisal Akram is so hyped. The way people are crying for his selection is as if he’s a Warne. I will be presently surprised if he can play FC cricket on consistent basis.

 

[silentkiller187]

another failure for babar ? looked plumb

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Number 1 batsman struggling in the PSL.

 

[silentkiller187]

sharjeel is learning from babar, is he playing test match

 

[Rana]

Sharjeel playing across the line like Rizwan

 

[Rana]

Dahani in

Action time

 

[PakPremi]

Babar suffering some bad time at he moment, each math is gettig worse for him and his team.

 

[Rana]

This is torturous to watch

 

[silentkiller187]

sharjeel need to start hitting getting painful to watch, atleast when others aren't hitting boundaries they are still scoring , another abysmal pp by the looks of it for KK

 

[sindhiboy]

Sharjeel playing test 20

 

[silentkiller187]

10 overs gone sharjeel been out there for all 10 1 wicket down, 50 runs on the board, has sharjeel been talking to the bookies again??

 

[silentkiller187]

cant even run simple twos here need to get the boundaries going

 

[Rana]

One 6 and he is close to matching Babar and Rizwan’s strike rate

 

[silentkiller187]

One 6 and he is close to matching Babar and Rizwan’s strike rate

odi strike rate maybe

 

[silentkiller187]

One 6 and he is close to matching Babar and Rizwan’s strike rate

you forgot to mention shaani bhai aswel or did you leave him out intentionally?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great shot by sharjeel

 

[Rana]

Horrendous innings

 

[Rana]

They should still get 170-180

 

[Rana]

Well done Rohail. Positive please

 

[Villager6964]

Sharjeel Khan with explosive innings LOL.
He is so overrated and overhyped player.

 

[PakPremi]

Rohail Nazir, Mohd Haris type players are needed, the ones that play shots on merit and keep score ticking not just try to slog every ball. These players can hit boundaries on bad balls too.

 

[PakEngFan]

Qasim got carried away have seen it with him few times.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Sharjeel is finished.

 

[PakEngFan]

Watch out for amir azmat. Hits the ball a long way.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXXX

Imad hammers that

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi need to target some big overs here

 

[Rana]

Can still get 180 here and it should be a competitive score

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood dropping it like his strike rate after the power play

 

[silentkiller187]

Shan Masood dropping it like his strike rate after the power play

probably wants to stretch himself a bit with the bat today, been to easy for them this tournament so far

 

[PakPremi]

Raes is very clever bowler, his injuries have robbed Pakistan of a good bowler. He bowled well in the chamion trophy too.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dahanis celebrates too much��

 

[PakPremi]

Dhani coniues with 6 and a wicket next ball.

 

[PakPremi]

Dahanis celebrates too much��

He tries to copy Tahir

 

[Justcrazy]

175 is the target for Multan

 

[sindhiboy]

Imad should bat higher up the order

 

[Justcrazy]

Imad to start the proceedings here

 

[Rana]

Great intent to take singles

 

[Villager6964]

Mir Hamza can swing the ball but he doesn't have pace.

 

[Justcrazy]

karachi needs wickets here

 

[PakEngFan]

Great intent to take singles

Even with singles they are batting faster the sharjeel.

 

[Justcrazy]

30 for no loss

Multan have got a very good start.

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi bowling looking toothless here

 

[Rana]

The singles making the difference here

Karachi were 40-1 after 6

Multan are 44-0

 

[silentkiller187]

The singles making the difference here

Karachi were 40-1 after 6

Multan are 44-0

its called playing to the conditions and match awareness, whats the rush?

 

[Naveed99]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION]

Bro, you should stop now with ur comments about intent. Not everything is about intent, results matter the most not the intent. You like players who show intent with average of 25 without team resulting in wins instead of good cricketers who plays according to situations and let their team win.

 

[Rana]

It’s setting up for another Tim David special

 

[Omer2002]

Who is this Azmat emerging player for multan never heard of him

 

[silentkiller187]

one thing il say about rizwan is he seems to injure himself a lot running between wickets, almost every game he has a little niggle whilst running

 

[Rana]

Two set openers

Still taking singles

 

[PakEngFan]

Who is this Azmat emerging player for multan never heard of him

Hits the ball along way.

 

[Rana]

If I was Babar, I wouldn’t mind these two at the crease for another 2 overs and hope for 15 runs maximum

 

[Snowflake]

Kudos to Multan if they pull this off, but these are strange and extremely risky tactics.

You should never let the RRR climb up to 11+. How can you score at a RR of 7 when you haven't lost a single wicket?!

Either Riz/Maqsood have unreal belief or that they have miscalculated the chase a little bit.

 

[Omer2002]

Karachi still in this if they keep their heads but sultans 10 wickets in hand

 

[Rana]

Don’t mind another over of Rizwan and Shan looking for their 50s

 

[silentkiller187]

Rizzy and masood need to take off here they set the base but then stayed in too long

 

[Rana]

Great 50 Rizwan

Required rr close to 13

 

[Naveed99]

They are trying but there is also some good bowling en looks like the pitch is a bit slower now

 

[Rana]

Unlucky Shan

Should have run it to Nabi for 2 runs

 

[Rana]

Mir Hamza is a top bowler

Don’t understand why he hasn’t featured much in the PSL at all

 

[Rana]

RR 14 now

At least 2 boundaries per over needed

 

[Rana]

If you think about it

Hamza has a great ability to bring the ball back into the right hander, he would be a top buy in any franchise league

 

[Rana]

Two important boundaries

Good start to the over

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta need exceptional hitting here

 

[Rana]

4 crucial boundaries

 

[Snowflake]

Karachi still in this if they keep their heads but sultans 10 wickets in hand

I'd say KK are ahead rn.

 

[Rana]

18 off that over

 

[Justcrazy]

Sultans need 54 runs in 25 balls.

Rizwan playing a blinder here

 

[Rana]

Multan should get this

 

[MenInG]

Multan should get this

Feel a couple of wickets and MS wont win this

 

[Rana]

Rizwan has done his job

After making a meal of it until his 50, the last 20 runs he has scored have done the job

 

[silentkiller187]

Agreed should have seen them home from there tho
