Multan Sultans (196/2) win a last-ball thriller against Karachi Kings (193/5) by 3 runs

[MenInG]

So Karachi on a high after their win against Lahore meet the tournament leaders on their home turf.

No Amir due to injury so maybe time for Karachi to try something new.

For Multan, Ihsanullah's progress will be of interest as will be a nice little match-up between 2 captains who possibly have aspirations to lead Pakistan in T20Is in the future.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Hopefully Malik makes a fifty.
PS 10/14 times when Malik scored more than fifty the team loses. Amir be like have one Malik for the cost of 3.

 

[gazza619]

I get confused on who to support when my favourite Rizzu and Imad are amnay samnay…

Multan are hot favourites to win the whole thing this year.

 

[Rana]

Hopefully Imad has the balls to win the toss and Bat first

 

[PakPremi]

As predicted earlier by myself Amir does not have fitness to last more than 3 matches. I have to say this again quietly or Rana will try to hush me again.

Nothing you say matters if you don’t like a person

 

[Hextro]

Nothing you say matters if you don’t like a person

So your opinion on Rizwan doesn't matter? Glad we got that out of the way.

 

[Hextro]

This should be a free win for Multan unless something unexpected happens.

 

[Rana]

Yes. Don’t take it too seriously if you do not want to

But don’t go hiding when it is proven correct

 

[Hextro]

Yes. Don’t take it too seriously if you do not want to

But don’t go hiding when it is proven correct

Why would anyone hide over something that doesn't matter? That makes no sense.

 

[MenInG]

Karachi Kings have won the toss and are bowling first against Multan Sultans

 

[Hextro]

Karachi won the toss and chose to bowl first. Their bowling's looking extra weak today.

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Still find Aamir Yamin being picked as utterly confounding, but I’m looking forward to seeing Muhammad Umar bowl.

Imad showing immense belief in his bowling attack by fielding first.

 

[Rana]

Karachi Kings have won the toss and are bowling first against Multan Sultans

And Multan have won the match already

 

[Hextro]

Aamir is their go-to guy. They would never replace him.

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Aamir is their go-to guy. They would never replace him.

The smarter play is to replace Yamin with Umar when Mo Amir returns. A bowling attack of Umar, Akif and Mo Amir is the most effective.

 

[imshally81]

So no sharjeel today

 

[Rana]

Imad would have batted first if they had Amir

Pathetic mindset. Rizwan has been defending scores at home with Abbas Afridi and Khushdil Shah as two of his bowlers!

 

[Rana]

Oh God this Umar guy has Rizwan fine leg, deep square leg sixes written all over him!!

 

[Rana]

You better keep them below 160 now Imad!!

 

[Rana]

Oh God another 20 minute Rizwan injury break!!

 

[Rana]

Well done Imad get Shan out of all people back in form!

 

[Rana]

Well that was a poor first over! Karachi look like they’ve already thrown in the towel

 

[Rana]

No swing

No spin

This is going to be a long 20 overs for Karachi

 

[Rana]

There you go, as soon as you see Rizwan shuffle

Drag it far away from him on the off

 

[Rana]

Oh God Russow is going to feast today

 

[daytrader]

Oh God another 20 minute Rizwan injury break!!

The ball hit him! The few minutes break was justified. It was actually caused by your boy Imad as he was just standing there rather than going after the ball from the throw.

 

[Rana]

Still good bowling by Aamir, don’t bowl it on his pads

 

[Rana]

Phir Aa Imad

Rizwan will hole out

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood 9 off 6

This is terrible bowling by KK

 

[Rana]

Masood 11 off 10

More realistic

 

[Galla]

Well that was a poor first over! Karachi look like they’ve already thrown in the towel

Its 19 after 3 overs.looking at your post i expected atleast 40 after 3 overs

 

[Rana]

Viv Richards shot by Shan!!

 

[Cric1234]

When was the last time Shan hit 3 fours in a row.

 

[Rana]

Aamer such a useless bowler if there is no swing!

 

[daytrader]

Shan on fire!!

 

[Rana]

There you go

A matter of time Rizwan starts his leg side masterclass

 

[imshally81]

200 is on....

 

[Rana]

Now it will be all leg side by Rizwan

 

[Rana]

Ganda over Aamer!

 

[Hextro]

Multan going well so far. We could be seeing another 200+ score from them today.

 

[Rana]

All leg side now for Rizwan

He’s had his few on the off

 

[Rana]

What is this poor fielding?!!!!

 

[Rana]

Imad get a grip of your boys!!

 

[Hextro]

KK looks lost. Can't see an ounce of confidence in them.

 

[Rana]

What is wrong with KK? They won their last game why is their energy so down?!?!?

 

[daytrader]

No Amir, no Sharjeel. I wouldn't mind this Karachi team winning

 

[Rana]

Tahir coming on into the powerplay

 

[Rana]

No Amir, no Sharjeel. I wouldn't mind this Karachi team winning

I know your feeling

It reminds me of Pakistan beating South Africa in Sydney when Rizwan and Babar failed

 

[Rana]

This will be a big over

 

[Rana]

Rizwan itching for some leg side candy

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Umar..

 

[Cric1234]

Rizwan playing anchor to power hitter Shan.

 

[Rana]

Decent over actually

Rizwan 15 off 15 in the powerplay )

 

[daytrader]

I know your feeling

It reminds me of Pakistan beating South Africa in Sydney when Rizwan and Babar failed

Nah, it's not like supporting Pakistan as Karachi is the last team I would wanna see win. However seeing them be this bad, I can't help but root for the underdog. It's a sympathy vote for me

 

[Rana]

Karachi gifted them 10-15 runs in the powerplay

 

[MenInG]

Amir would have ended Shan's innings earlier.

 

[daytrader]

50 in the PP, no wickets lost. 200+ on the cards

 

[Rana]

Man I’m so annoyed with Imad choosing to bowl first!

 

[daytrader]

Come on Shan, hit the cannon fodder for a 6

 

[Rana]

Imad get a grip man

Very poor, uninspiring body language

 

[Rana]

Rizwan 23 off 22

 

[Kroll]

Why is Rizwan content play at run a ball, this is a mickey mouse league.

 

[Rana]

Malik will get smashed by Rizwan

 

[Cric1234]

The longer Rizwan stays out there the better for Karachi.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Shan Masood batting like Jayasuriya today.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Solid as rock Rizwan. Destined to play a long innings today.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Malik

 

[Rana]

I swear that was fake fielding by Malik and it should be 5 runs to Multan?

 

[Cric1234]

Solid as rock Rizwan. Destined to play a long innings today.

It’s not test cricket they still have Miller Rossouw Pollard and Khushdil to bat with only 11 overs left.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan 32 off 28

 

[Kroll]

Rizwan's strategy is very flawed, he eats balls like no tomorrow, then bashes a few at the end getting his SR to around 120-130 and then everyone is delighted.

 

[Cric1234]

Typical Rizwan even though he’s got the best average his strike rate every year cannot be above 125.

 

[imshally81]

Finally Shan gone

 

[Rana]

Nooooo

Should have kept Shan in for a few more overs!!

 

[Cric1234]

Rizwan's strategy is very flawed, he eats balls like no tomorrow, then bashes a few at the end getting his SR to around 120-130 and then everyone is delighted.

We have to make sure the average stays above 40.

 

[Rana]

English counties will be happy today shan scored some runs

The Brian Lara of counties has come to the party in PSL!!

 

[Kroll]

It’s not test cricket they still have Miller Rossouw Pollard and Khushdil to bat with only 11 overs left.

Not allowing these guys to come in cos Rizwan 'needs to anchor' is a travesty, not only for the team but T20 cricket in general.

 

[Rana]

Mark Butcher paddling ECB agenda

Backwas band Kar apni butcher!

Vince is not fully available for the PSL and you want him to captain Karachi

 

[Rana]

That looked like a pre planned statement by Comms box by Butcher

How are PCB allowing this!!!
