Multan Sultans (180/5) reach their first PSL final with 31-run victory over Islamabad United (149)

[SangasCoverDrive]

That was some seriously pathetic bowling by Akif. A deserved 50

 

[Firebat]

Half century for Akif. Destructive from Khushdil.

 

[Justcrazy]

Khudshil has been dynamic here

 

[silentkiller187]

Is this wasim guy pakistani, read somewhere he may have been afghani, looks like a good head at the end final over

 

[Titan24]

143.4 kph yorker from Wasim

 

[Justcrazy]

181 runs is the target

 

[Titan24]

Is this wasim guy pakistani, read somewhere he may have been afghani, looks like a good head at the end final over

Was in Pak’s T20 and ODIs squad for recent Africas tour

 

[Muhammad Kaleem]

Yup, Muhammad Wasim's last over proved that its Akif bad bowling (or bad nerves) which did the trick for Khushhdil Shah.

 

[Titan24]

Good last over from Wasim.

Akif has come back from a long injury. He did exceedingly well in previous matches. Learning curve for him and part and parcel of T20 cricket.

 

[shamaan]

I think that is a par total 180 brilliant over by wasim

 

[Caved12]

There is a storm coming from Larkana and it is going to destroy Islamabad today, so please be watchful

 

[King_Kohli]

Target of 181 sets up the game nicely. Good calculated assault by Khushdil & Tanvir targeting the inexperienced Akif.

 

[shamaan]

Yup, Muhammad Wasim's last over proved that its Akif bad bowling (or bad nerves) which did the trick for Khushhdil Shah.

In experience cost him pluss khushdil got lucky I like what I see he's going to be brilliant

 

[shamaan]

Khushdil got lucky with a few shots

 

[King_Kohli]

Khushhdil Yuvaraj Shah.

 

[Muhammad Kaleem]

In experience cost him pluss khushdil got lucky I like what I see he's going to be brilliant

Yea, he is good with new ball. Death overs requires lot of experience which Akif lacks.

 

[Justcrazy]

IU has a chance , if they bat well , the pitch is good.

 

[silentkiller187]

Was in Pak’s T20 and ODIs squad for recent Africas tour

surprising, seems like a young pace bowler without the hype machine behind him, rarity, unless i missed it, hopefully he carries on under the radar and progresses his skills further

 

[shamaan]

His action suites him bowling in the death

 

[shamaan]

Yea, he is good with new ball. Death overs requires lot of experience which Akif lacks.

Definitely but he will get better he has the ingredients to succeed

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Munro gone for duck

 

[Shoaibbtt]

bowledddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[Justcrazy]

Tanvir is making ball talk here

 

[Titan24]

What a start by MS with ball in hand. Getting Munro in first over is better than anything they could have hoped for

 

[Titan24]

Akhlaq is a pretty decent stroke maker. Playing for CP he hit Shaheen for 3 sixes in an over in National T20 cup if I am not wrong.

 

[Justcrazy]

13 . 1

2 overs

 

[silentkiller187]

Imran Khan jr been watching too many Imran Tahir/ Shanawaz Dhani celebration videos

 

[Titan24]

Runout by Imran Khan. Good fielding. Senior pacers of MS standing up

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

another wicket goes down

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

The hell was that?

 

[Firebat]

Imran channelling his inner Jadeja

 

[Justcrazy]

Faheem needs to be promoted up the order.

 

[Caved12]

Loving these scenes All paisa wasool kind of Psl for me so far

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Shadab batting at no 4 lmao

 

[silentkiller187]

IU will probably meet Multan again in the final

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Shadab is a terrible all round cricketer.

 

[Titan24]

MS on top here. IU has long batting lineup but they need to get a partnership going here

 

[Firebat]

Wow, what an opening spell from Tanvir.

 

[Firebat]

Luckily for Islamabad, Munro is the only wicket of the 3 to have fallen that has contributed in recent games. The men in form like Khawaja, Asif, Ifti are still there. Hassan can offer a late innings cameo too. Scorecard looks worse than the game state I think.

 

[Firebat]

This is a big game for Dhani. Tanvir has cut through the top order, a perfect platform for Dhani to rip through the rest.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asking rate past 10 here

 

[Justcrazy]

One of the batsmen here has to take a few chances.

 

[Ahmed216]

Dhani became predictable there...khwaja was ready for the short ball and pulled it for 4

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab is a terrible all round cricketer.

Terrible is an understatement

 

[Firebat]

Time for this partnership to get a move on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Uncle Iffy gone

 

[msb314]

I believe if MS win this - then every team in the PSL would have played in the final at least once

 

[Caved12]

Having a cake with chai as it is a cheat day for me and will have the same day after tomorrow

 

[Ahmed216]

Can anyone describe that shot for me plz

 

[Titan24]

IU crumbling under pressure here

 

[Titan24]

I believe if MS win this - then every team in the PSL would have played in the final at least once

Yes and if wins the final than every team other than LQ would have won PSL trophy atleast once.

 

[shamaan]

Clueless asif ali

Bring in Hassan Ali

 

[Caved12]

Want Karachi to win today and tomorrow, so we can play them in the finals.

 

[Caved12]

Rizwan should be the captain of PCT in every format of this game.

 

[Firebat]

 

[saabir]

IU is the best side In this PSL but today their batting order changes does not work in their favour. Promiting Akhlaq and average batsman Shadab over Talat, Ifti and Asif Ali is hard to understand. Specialist batsman should always bat higher than the all rounders

 

[Firebat]

All hopes on Khawaja now.

 

[Caved12]

What an innings from Khawaja so far. Century before and now this. Amazing!

 

[shamaan]

Khawaja !

 

[Caved12]

This is going to be a very good test for Dahani. Whatever the outcome, he will learn a lot from this experience

 

[Firebat]

Khawaja went from 42 (31) to 70 (38)

28 runs in 7 balls

 

[Firebat]

Tanvir to the rescue again! Surely man of the match if MS close this out.

 

[Caved12]

lol Khawaja gone, so no test for Dahani

 

[shamaan]

Great move by Rizwan to bring back tanvir

 

[Caved12]

If Hasan can score a quick 20 with a high strike rate, It will be great for my fantasy team

 

[shamaan]

Talat playing test cricket

 

[Caved12]

Tanvir looked horrible in the first leg of this psl tournament, but somehow he managed to make a fantastic comeback here in UAE.

 

[Firebat]

Rizwan has captained so well. All his bowling changes and decisions have worked perfectly.

 

[shamaan]

Talat is so poor in t20s

 

[Caved12]

itna sanata kyun hai bhai no supporters for Multan here

 

[Caved12]

Absolutely no love for Rizwan and his team?

 

[silentkiller187]

Not the first time I’ve seen wasim play the ramp and both occasions looks very assured, unlike most of our batsmen who look so unnatural playing this shot.

 

[sharmaji]

I am a big fan of Rizwan: the batsman, the keeper and the Captain. Go Multan Sultans

Absolutely no love for Rizwan and his team?

 

[silentkiller187]

Absolutely no love for Rizwan and his team?

I am a big fan of Rizwan: the batsman, the keeper and the Captain. Go Multan Sultans

Team rizzy all the way

 

[Saj]

IU playing Faheem Ashraf even though he's not fully fit. Strange one, when you have others who could have stepped in.

 

[Caved12]

T20 games are so much fun as IU are still in it. End of the day it is all about having fun and enjoying these games.

 

[sharmaji]

This Mohd Wasim knows only one shot, the ramp.

 

[silentkiller187]

Another ramp by wasim was enjoying his innings shame he has to go, never seen that before put his foot in the way of the ball to stop it hit the stumps

 

[Yasir_ch]

How bad this talat guy is.All these batsmen are hopeless.
