[BouncerGuy]

I think it will be Quetta's game to win. They have done well and Multan will be feeling pressure now.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Saifi Bhai vs Rizwan. Pretty clear who will be the winner today

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'd play Faisal Akram today instead of Dahani.

Toss Update:

Quetta Gladiators have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Who's Aftab Ibrahim?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Isn't Usman Khan a local Pakistani player or has he moved overseas which is why he's considered an overseas player?

 

[BouncerGuy]

He is from UAE now. So will be considered a foreign player.

Isn't Usman Khan a local Pakistani player or has he moved overseas which is why he's considered an overseas player?

 

[Omer2002]

Ermm y are quetta playing 4 spinners n 2 pacers huge risk...although happy to see tariq playing

Yeah, this is pretty surprising. They are putting too much trust in the spinners. Can go against them.

 

[Omer2002]

Well akeel has gone for 14 runs already backfired

 

[Deewana Mastana]

20 off 2

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf out of the rest of the PSL with a dislocated shoulder.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abrar has struck. Usman departs. Multan 1 down.

 

[FreakCricket]

Abrar with a beauty

 

[BouncerGuy]

Well akeel has gone for 14 runs already backfired

Usman Started well but departed very soon after.

[Sher Khan]

Let's be honest Abrar is the best leg spinner in the country right now. I rate his over Shadab and Usama Mir.

 

[Sher Khan]

Who's Aftab Ibrahim?

Someone to keep an eye on. A very talented fast bowler.

 

[Omer2002]

Abrar getting tonked

 

[BouncerGuy]

rizwan 4 sixes so far. total runs 27...brilliant.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Let's be honest Abrar is the best leg spinner in the country right now. I rate his over Shadab and Usama Mir.

Rizwan smashing him atm. 2 sixes back to back.

 

[Omer2002]

What an over by usman tariq my goodness get rid of abrar at once!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tariq is that guy who's clips were on SM now I've seen him bowl live.

Interesting action indeed Rizzy shaking his hand after 3 balls lol

 

[Galla]

What an over by usman tariq my goodness get rid of abrar at once!!!

his action might be an issue

 

[Deewana Mastana]

his action might be an issue

I thinking along the same lines...

 

[Asif321]

Lmao Sarfraz just sweared at someone . Behn ki tang

 

[Omer2002]

No i think its just the pause then its fine..ashwin does the same

 

[BouncerGuy]

Review time. Let's see if technology fails again?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Review time. Let's see if technology fails again?

And Sarfaraz wasted one. Poor review taken.

 

[Asad T]

rizwan 4 sixes so far. total runs 27...brilliant.

Where are the Rizwan haters when you need them

 

[Omer2002]

HE has a googly...carrom.ball..obviously he is an offie ..one thing i must say which is daft surely with that action and pause you can see rizzy is sweeping 80% of time cudnt u just fire the ball on the offiside when he does that

 

[BouncerGuy]

Where are the Rizwan haters when you need them

Probably gone to fetch the ball.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

HE has a googly...carrom.ball..obviously he is an offie ..one thing i must say which is daft surely with that action and pause you can see rizzy is sweeping 80% of time cudnt u just fire the ball on the offiside when he does that

Does he play domestic cricket or just picked on a few SM clips?

 

[BouncerGuy]

easiest of the easiest ones to take but Rutherford grassed it. Multan is still 1 down for 96 after 12.

 

[Asad T]

50 from 39 for Riz. Again a bit on the slow side. Now that he's in let's see if he can step on it when it really matteres.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan gone

 

[Rana]

Really impressed with the bowling changes of Russow

 

[Omer2002]

Does he play domestic cricket or just picked on a few SM clips?

He played all the spl which was live on geo and ptv sports was the leading wicket taker

 

[BouncerGuy]

Akeal struck gold. Rizwan departs. Multan 2 down now as tayyab tahir comes to the crease.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He played all the spl which was live on geo and ptv sports was the leading wicket taker

So that is what he got picked upon and he's not playing domestic?

 

[Asad T]

Hendricks needs to go. He makes rizwan look like afridi

 

[Asad T]

Tariq is such a poor fielder haha

 

[AAli98]

Who is this joke of an off spin bowler? The Just for men dripping of his beard !!

 

[Omer2002]

So that is what he got picked upon and he's not playing domestic?

Correct never played domestic in his life

 

[Rana]

Quetta spinners have bowled beautifully on this road.

 

[Rana]

170 ish total if Multan put the foot down

 

[Rana]

30 balls left

What’s the point of having Khusdhil and Iftikhar in your side if they are only going to get 10-15 balls each

 

[Rana]

Rizwan 50 off 40 on this road

Don’t tell me this was a good innings?

 

[Omer2002]

Very risky to leave usman tariqs last over till the end

 

[Deewana Mastana]

MS have struggled

 

[Asad T]

170 ish total if Multan put the foot down

Thats the issue when you have 2 accululators eat up the majority of the balls

 

[RidiculousMan]

Thats the issue when you have 2 accululators eat up the majority of the balls

Rizwan and Hendricks played too slowly. Now they have 17 balls left with 8 wickets in hand. Balance is out. They should've been 20 runs ahead and in exchange should've given 2 more wickets.

 

[Omer2002]

I think this is a 190 pitch..spinners been awsum

 

[Omer2002]

Goodness mee bring the spinners on lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

Worst fielding I have ever seen in a tournament. Majority by Pakistani players

 

[kingusama92]

Quetta fielders have been so bad.

Just a shocker of a tournament in terms of fielding for all teams.

 

[Omer2002]

Pak are the worst fielding and catching side in the world

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sarfraz Ahmed hit by a ball on the head by Wasim Jr I believe.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Did the ball hit his head?

 

[kingusama92]

Oh my god.

He actually hit him on the head.

 

[Rana]

10 runs too many by Quetta at the end

Should be happy with this total though. Decent work bowling first

 

[Rana]

Nothing in this track for the bowlers

 

[Rana]

I think Russow got the order of Amir and Wasim jr wrong there at the end

Amir should not have bowled to the shorter boundary, but I guess the senior bowler has to take the bigger challenge

 

[Rana]

Quetta might as well use their concussion sub card. Umar Amin is in excellent form

 

[Rana]

MS have struggled

They haven’t struggled at all, this is how the top 3 will play throughout on every track.

 

[Rana]

No Willey today for MS

Let’s see how they deal with this

 

[Rana]

Rizwan and Hendricks played too slowly. Now they have 17 balls left with 8 wickets in hand. Balance is out. They should've been 20 runs ahead and in exchange should've given 2 more wickets.

This is how the future captain of Pakistan plays

Get used to it

 

[Rana]

Fast and uneven outfield

Expect some poor fielding by MS too

 

[Rana]

Roy
Russow
Rutherford

These three have the bulk of the work here

 

[Rana]

Hopefully we see a Russow special, 40-50 ball hundred

 

[FearlessRoar]

The final match in Multan sees an action-packed first innings with Reeza and Rizwan hitting fifties to lift Sultans to 180-4

https://twitter.com/x/status/1761703150304583886

 

[Rana]

Usama Mir is key here

It’s one of those tracks where in recent times he has been taken to the cleaners at international level

 

[Rana]

Muhammad Ali v J Roy on a road

Big Test for the Sialkot upcoming seamer!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasted review

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Another day another brilliant review from Pakistans best captain

 

[Rana]

Excellent by Muhammad Ali

 

[pakistani pride]

Where has this M. Ali been all the time?
Has he even play a single white ball game for Pakistan?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Willey lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Where has this M. Ali been all the time?
Has he even play a single white ball game for Pakistan?

No

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They barely show speeds of anyone.
