Multan Sultans (210/3) thrash Peshawar Zalmi (154 all out) by 56 runs in Match 5 of PSL8

[shariqnoor]

Riley Rossouw is such an aesthetically pleasing player. Effortless ball striking. He really wasted all those years with going the Kolpak route. Terrific batsman.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Guys - impressions of Muqeem? good? ordinary? usless?

Looks interesting for sure. Appears to have more control than Faisal Akram and looks like he did well in 2nd XI for the List A format.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Early days but Multan & Islamabad look like the clear best teams of the tournament.

 

[Waleed93]

Rizwan, Rossouw, Miller, Pollard, Brathwaite.

MS surely do have the best batting line up of the tournament.

 

[Caved12]

Guys - impressions of Muqeem? good? ordinary? usless?

I thought he bowled well on this pitch. Rizwan was in a mood to score a century today, but Muqeem had other plans

 

[Galla]

Surely usman qadir,arshad iqbal and aamer jamal can do better than khurram and irshad

 

[PakPremi]

Pollard and Braithwait are lost causes nowdays but Rizwan, Rileyand Miller aregun batsmen.

 

[boomboomcheema]

What an innings by Rossouw

 

[Nasty Naz]

If only Pakistan national team could also draft Rossouw...

 

[Galla]

Why would you not play a 6th bowler when your bowling lineup is already weak is beyond me.shakib was there and if they wanted to play powell as an overseas then aamer jamal was there as a local option.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rossouw & Miller... what a killer combo lol.

 

[ha5is12]

Been absolute carnage

 

[Hextro]

Irshad is getting a little reverse-swing.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Fantastic yorkers from Irshad. This is one hell of an over against two dangerous & locked in batsmen.

 

[angrypathan]

Bowling well here Irshad

 

[Hextro]

Irshad is getting a little reverse-swing.

Just got RR lbw with the reverse.

 

[Hextro]

That was a close call with the ultraedge.

 

[Caved12]

Monster innings by the great Rossouw

 

[Waleed93]

This over from Irshad will be the difference between a total of 200 and 220.

 

[topspin]

I've never rated Babar's captaincy but in fairness to him there's nothing you can do with the bowlers he's got. Can't see PZ going far in this tournament.

 

[topspin]

Another last over no ball from Wahab. I feel sorry for Babar.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Fielding has been atrocious right through PSL. Very low quality.

 

[ha5is12]

This over from Irshad will be the difference between a total of 200 and 220.

Wahab has something to say about that pal

 

[Nasty Naz]

Classic Wahab. Loves his no balls.

 

[Darkrai]

No-ball machine.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Wahab was a poor cricketer even during his peak and should have retired long ago.

 

[Caved12]

lol Pollard Rizwan Miller Rilee this is a dream batting line up

 

[Hextro]

Viki bhai has been getting smashed way to often nowadays.

 

[MenInG]

No-ball machine.

Cannot believe an experience cricketer like that.

 

[MenInG]

Another last over no ball from Wahab. I feel sorry for Babar.

 

[angrypathan]

Comical over

 

[Hextro]

How Wahab has never fixed his no-ball problem is one of the great mysteries of Pakistan cricket.

 

[Caved12]

Seems as Wahab has not recovered after getting hit for 6 sixes

 

[Waleed93]

Wahab has just never been a world class bowler.

He perfectly sums up the state of our team in the early 2010s. Mediocrity personified.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Horrible last over by Wahab now Babar will have to bat at a good SR.

 

[Rana]

This is what happens when you basically have no leadership on the pitch

Zalmi have no proper leader

 

[Savak]

Babar is a panoti for every side he captains.

 

[Rana]

Horrible last over by Wahab now Babar will have to bat at a good SR.

He wont care

 

[Hextro]

PZ has the ability to chase 210.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Very ordinary bowling lineup of zalmi.. I don't know what they were thinking while choosing bowlers

 

[Nasty Naz]

More bowlers need to learn from Haris Rauf in T20. He never pushes the line and is always well back of it. No balls in T20 is just a cardinal sin.

Great batting display from Multan and a heck of a target for Peshawar here. I am excited to see how Haris & Saim perform in a situation like this.

 

[Savak]

I've never rated Babar's captaincy but in fairness to him there's nothing you can do with the bowlers he's got. Can't see PZ going far in this tournament.

Javed Afridi is going to permanently lose his smile after experiencing Babar Azam as captain.

 

[Caved12]

He wont care

King will always be a king and will try his best to win the game for his team.

 

[Waleed93]

A lot depends on Babar Haris and Kohler-Cadmore here.

The rest of the batting line up doesn't inspire any confidence.

 

[WengerOut]

Simon Doull looks very trim.

 

[topspin]

Javed Afridi is going to permanently lose his smile after experiencing Babar Azam as captain.

Do you think a better captain would make a difference when the bowlers are so bad?

I don't think I've ever seen a PSL team with such a trash bowling attack. Every single one of them is toothless.

 

[imshally81]

Another 6

 

[Rana]

two sixes in 7 balls

Absolute Gun Harris

 

[Hextro]

Lovely lovely straight drive by Haris.

 

[Rana]

3 sixes in 8 balls

 

[Rana]

how many sixes did Rizwaan the best opener in the world hit on this road?

 

[Waleed93]

how many sixes did Rizwaan the best opener in the world hit on this road?

Ended up with a much better strike rate than the Pakistani Jayasuriya without even hitting a six.��

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Rana]

Babar's tuk tuk will get our young assetsHarris and Saim out

 

[MenInG]

3 sixes in 8 balls

On fire this kid

Seems to have hurt himself.

 

[MenInG]

Babar's tuk tuk will get our young assetsHarris and Saim out

BAbar just face 2 balls.

 

[imshally81]

Where is ihsanullah?

 

[Rana]

Ihsanullah.

Body like Tarzan

Fields like jayne

 

[Rana]

Ok that was a class shot by Babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

Cmon Ihsanullah. That's a routine catch.

 

[MenInG]

See with Babar's shots are that he does with such ease.

 

[MenInG]

Cmon Ihsanullah. That's a routine catch.

Fielding for him is a huge issue - think its been mentioned.

 

[Rana]

should have left it for the keeper

 

[Rana]

Khushdil 2 overs for 17 on this road is criminal

 

[imshally81]

Another boundary

 

[Rana]

Cheetah!

Shaheen Parwaaz Brand

 

[Rana]

Maar Harris Maar!!!

 

[Rana]

Imagine this guy was traveling with you but you preferred Shan Masood in the world cup squad

 

[Rana]

Babar tu rehnde mera praa

Just give Harris the strike

 

[daytrader]

Khushdil 2 overs for 17 on this road is criminal

It's a masterstroke from captain Rizwan. Will have plenty of death options due to this move

 

[Rana]

Babar struggling on this road

 

[imshally81]

Ihsan on

 

[imshally81]

It's a masterstroke from captain Rizwan. Will have plenty of death options due to this move

Exactly.. I like this move

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone... What a bowling... Ihsanullah is a next big thing...

 

[Ali Active]

Babar should not play t20s should focus more on odis and tests

 

[Plumb]

This is what pace can do... Great to watch IhsanUllah getting Babar.

 

[Marooned]

Waiting for Babar vs Ihsanullah

Wait over. 1 ball encounter!

 

[topspin]

Babar Azam always crumbles in these scenarios. He can't lead from the front when the scoreboard pressure is there.

Well bowled Ihsanullah. Deserves all the credit.

 

[imshally81]

Now Saim vs Ihsan

 

[Ali Active]

Saim Ayub What a shot
