Multan Sultans (176/5) defeat Karachi Kings (164/7) by 12 runs

[Titan24]

Even 170 from here will require a decent effort as Khushdil is the last recognized batsman. Yes Tanvir and Sohail can hit a few but not really dependable.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Can’t see MS getting 160+ with Amir bowling in the death.

 

[Firebat]

Top over from Amir, just 3 runs conceded.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

3 runs in the 18th over, not bad.

 

[PakPremi]

Tanvir like Nawaz is overrated for his batting ability, Sohail is much better than Tanvir and should have batted ahead of him.

 

[PakPremi]

3 runs in the 18th over, not bad.

That was a good over from Amir. He has become much more effective death over bowler but questionable one as opening or middle over bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

MS should be aiming for at least 175 here

 

[adzzy786]

What’s this hype about Khushdil? He is a really poor Batsmen

 

[Firebat]

Great death bowling from Karachi

 

[adzzy786]

MS should be aiming for at least 175 here

In their dreams

 

[PakPremi]

What’s this hype about Khushdil? He is a really poor Batsmen

Hype has long faded away

 

[YousafTheBeast]

That was a good over from Amir. He has become much more effective death over bowler but questionable one as opening or middle over bowler.

It wouldn’t be a bad option to use all of his overs at the death.

 

[Firebat]

What’s this hype about Khushdil? He is a really poor Batsmen

Hype? He's been relentlessly criticised here for the past year or so.

 

[Caved12]

I have never seen a player as bad as Khushdil. Can't believe that he played few games for Pakistan.

 

[Firebat]

How has Amir missed the stumps there...

 

[PakPremi]

Unfortunate for MA Tanvir did not get run out he is hopeless.

 

[Rana]

Amir getting destroyed by Khushdil lol

 

[Titan24]

Pretty good knock from Khushdil at the end. He is young so can still improve his game and make a Pak comeback, we have had quite a few such examples

 

[PakPremi]

In their dreams

Dreams realised

 

[Titan24]

Amir’s last over went for 19 runs. Khushdil kind of owned him today

 

[Rana]

Why can’t Khushdil hit the 5th gear from ball 1?

 

[adzzy786]

Pretty good knock from Khushdil at the end. He is young so can still improve his game and make a Pak comeback, we have has quite a few such examples

He’s not international material

 

[Justcrazy]

177 is the target , Great ending by MS here

 

[PakPremi]

I have never seen a player as bad as Khushdil. Can't believe that he played few games for Pakistan.

Asif Ali

 

[Rana]

Khushdil always needs 20 balls to get into his hitting zone

 

[Caved12]

Asif Ali

lol, so true! Both are equally bad.

 

[Rafa]

Can’t see MS getting 160+ with Amir bowling in the death.

Stop hyping Amir so much.

 

[Titan24]

He’s not international material

But, Amir is supposed to be and he hit him on both on and off side. He is not a world beater but, to be honest which world class option do we exactly have for those lower middle order numbers?

Everyone around for those numbers is mediocre so anyone who creates some impact will probably get a nod.

 

[shamaan]

Amir showing that he stil has talent,class and fitness excellent figures unlucky today

 

[PakPremi]

Stop hyping Amir so much.

He is a spent force and lacks fitness or strength to bowl with any pace nowadays.

 

[Yasir_ch]

I can't believe he got hit by that one of the worst batsman ever khushdil hack Shah.

 

[Firebat]

Pretty good knock from Khushdil at the end. He is young so can still improve his game and make a Pak comeback, we have had quite a few such examples

He has to play such a knock a lot more times to consider a comeback to international cricket.

 

[PakPremi]

I would play Imad even if he bowls ony one over, but Khushdil does have some potential and plenty of time to turn his game around one day.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Mediocre performance from Amir.

 

[Firebat]

Babar and Sharjeel opening despite Guptill being in the side

 

[PakPremi]

Babar and Sharjeel opening despite Guptill being in the side

Makes sense as Pak trying to see who fits the bill for Pak team as openers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good over by Sohail here , just one run.

 

[imshally81]

Review time

 

[Firebat]

Could be a bit high, but looks quite out.

 

[imshally81]

Umpirez call

 

[Firebat]

Wow, Babar survives by the skin of his teeth

 

[imshally81]

444

 

[Caved12]

No worries keep Babar there as he will play slow and help Multan win this game today

 

[Ahmed216]

Wat a terrible mistake third man's up for babar

 

[Caved12]

That was out btw. Aleem should have raised his finger.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar's lost his touch he's batting like he's never held a bat before this

 

[Justcrazy]

Multan bowling well here , but they need wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

No big shots so far , tight lines being bowled.

 

[Rafa]

Nice watchful batting going on.. Babar and Sharjeel batted same way in one of the matches during the first leg but Babar got the job done in the end.

 

[Titan24]

I would play Imad even if he bowls ony one over, but Khushdil does have some potential and plenty of time to turn his game around one day.

Yes, I have mentioned Imad as my no 6 quite a few times considering the mediocrity around that has been tried for that position.

 

[Rafa]

Gone

 

[Titan24]

He has to play such a knock a lot more times to consider a comeback to international cricket.

Yes definitely needs to deliver more for any chance of that.

 

[Babar_Azam_fan]

Whys Imran Khan celebrating like he bowler a superb yorker and got a wicket

 

[Firebat]

Extremely unlucky dismissal for Sharjeel

 

[Titan24]

KK with a horrible start and poor awareness from Sharjeel or we can say a bit unlucky as well

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Babaar gone !

 

[Rana]

Don’t understand why Babar can’t go at 3 and open the batting with Guptil and Sharjeel?

 

[Babar_Azam_fan]

Whys Imran Khan celebrating like he bowler a superb yorker and got a wicket

Even commentators making fun of his dumb celebration, mocking as if have won the world cup

 

[sharmaji]

That over the top celebration by Imran Khan is cringe.

 

[Rana]

What a boring innings by Babar

 

[Titan24]

Dahani working well on his game. Got that shape in going well

 

[PakPremi]

Don’t understand why Babar can’t go at 3 and open the batting with Guptil and Sharjeel?

If he will be opening for Pakistan then he needs to continue opening for KK as well to sort his game as opener.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX .......



25 . 1

5 overs

 

[Rana]

If he will be opening for Pakistan then he needs to continue opening for KK as well to sort his game as opener.

He should bat at 3 for Pakistan also in case Sharjeel or Rizwan fail

 

[Rana]

Guptill struggling big time

 

[PakPremi]

He should bat at 3 for Pakistan also in case Sharjeel or Rizwan fail

Agree but I do not think he will give up his slot.

 

[sharmaji]

Rizwan is such a classy guy. He doesn't chastise his bowlers when they go wrong in their line and length. He even high-fived Dhani after he got hit for a six, encouraging the young bowler. Such a good change from the days of Sarfaraz.

 

[Rafa]

Exciting Odi Cricket by the pair. Respect.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[NeVerMind]

Rizwan is such a classy guy. He doesn't chastise his bowlers when they go wrong in their line and length. He even high-fived Dhani after he got hit for a six, encouraging the young bowler. Such a good change from the days of Sarfaraz.

Should be kuptaan across all formats in my book... inspires confidence...

 

[Titan24]

Guptil would have enjoyed wicket at National Stadium Karachi. UAE will test him a bit like it does most Pak batsmen as well

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan is such a classy guy. He doesn't chastise his bowlers when they go wrong in their line and length. He even high-fived Dhani after he got hit for a six, encouraging the young bowler. Such a good change from the days of Sarfaraz.

Yes Rizwan is a pretty level headed guy. He gives it his all but at the same maintains a certain composure while batting, keeping and leading.

 

[Titan24]

KK has decent batting depth, I think they need to push a bit more here. It wont be easy for any batsman to come and start hitting from ball one

 

[Rafa]

Bowled

 

[Titan24]

Ramiz on Imran Tahir: “He looks like a character from Vikings who has just landed here on his boat”

 

[Rafa]

kK losing the plot. Over 10 rpo in the last 10 overs with Babar at one end. Is it possible ?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Utterly garbage knock so far from the golden boy

 

[PakPremi]

Why so many Afghanistanis in PSL

 

[Rafa]

115 needed in last 10.

 

[Titan24]

KK is atleast a 20 runs short than where they should have been at this stage.
