[Asad T]

wild no ball from Zaman
and good come back since then

 

[cricfan432]

Test him with short balls, we need tonsee the quality

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's the Yasir Khan show

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Zaman has been beaten to a pulp

 

[Kianig89]

Wicket looks good for shot making

 

[Rana]

Really poor captaincy by Shaheen.

He should have bowled his 3rd here

what a clean hitng from yasir

 

[Rana]

Wicket looks good for shot making

So why is Rizwan 14 off 9 nudging the ball?

 

[Barragan]

Zaman Khan is absolutely terrible now

 

[Asad T]

i spoke too soon about his good come back loll

 

[Deewana Mastana]

As I said in the last game Zaman played, seems like he's done for

 

[aqibcric]

Multan made a good deciision of yasir

 

[Savak]

Zaman looks like a complete Shadow of the bowler we saw in 2022 & 2023. It looks like he's lost a good 7-10 km/hr in pace. He doesn't look fully fit.

 

[Rana]

Not even trying to hit

And this guy had a cry off with the PCB management

 

[aqibcric]

Rizwan playing natural game

 

[Justcrazy]

22 of Zaman over , poor bowling , Multan getting on track here.

 

[Asad T]

So why is Rizwan 14 off 9 nudging the ball?

might as well feed the strike to yasir as this stage...and to the other batters that walk in

 

[Asad T]

rauf vs yasir will be fun

 

[Rana]

might as well feed the strike to yasir as this stage...and to the other batters that walk in

He can do that at number 3 or 4?

What’s the point of opening the innings?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Rizwan taking inspiration from Yasir with a nice 4. Sultans have came out with a point to prove

 

[Barragan]

Rizwan playing terrible

This is a belter of a pitch

Guys like Finn Allen would have scored a 50 by now

 

[Hellion]

This is what happens when you have fake 23 year olds bowling.

 

[aqibcric]

Not even trying to hit

And this guy had a cry off with the PCB management

what about pitch is it batting paradise

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Rizwan gets that away.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That is humongous - Ramiz Raja

 

[Barragan]

He has finally got a move on

 

[Asad T]

Oh my God. That reminds me of Afridi shot when Danny Morrison said this one has an air hostess on it

 

[aqibcric]

Rizwan beast

 

[Justcrazy]

Haris is clueless here , even Rizwan blasting him.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

29(13) for Kaptaana, demolishing Shaheen and Rauf, this man is something else. Humble pie for the haters. Let's go my dear Kaptaana in you we trust. This is what happens when Rizwan launches without fear from the start. Too bad the rest of the line up is usually bad which means he cannot do it often.

 

[Rana]

Qalandars look deflated

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Dr_Bassim hope you are enjoying this innings from Kaptaana Dr!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

They wiped the floor with Haris.

 

[Rana]

1 ball to go and it’s gone to advertisements on Sky

 

[Kianig89]

Good so far from MS

 

[Rana]

Good powerplay

They’ve scored 50 in the last 3 I recon

 

[Asad T]

Riz is lucky, that when his stats are done and dusted, they will reflect 5 games on a multan road
but a player like niazi or saad baig will have stats that reflected that tough karachi wicket

 

[followed]

Rizwan learn played some beautiful shots against haris.

 

[Ahmed216]

Kya baat hai kaptana striking at 214 in PP.

#ProvenStar

 

[Kianig89]

Haris Spray Gun Rauf, normalcy resumed

 

[Hellion]

Pakistan will have to find a replacement for Rauf soon.

Rizwan learn should just keep showing intent and runs will come.

maybe he has finally learned haha
or he wants to displace haris

 

[Kianig89]

Surely disappointing stuff from.LQ

 

[Croma]

Does Rauf not know Rizwan's strength? or is he feeding him hit-me balls on purpose... or better still... can he not control where he bowls ?

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Riz is lucky, that when his stats are done and dusted, they will reflect 5 games on a multan road
but a player like niazi or saad baig will have stats that reflected that tough karachi wicket

80 in 6 overs. How many teams can do that even on a flat track? Rizwan has abandoned his safety first approach and is now playing as an all out basher. He is proving that a quality batter like him can do everything a tulla does but a tulla can not do what he does.

Tough USA surfaces have never been an excuse for shameless critics of Riz and Bab.
Or the pitches in Australia 2022 WC where every opener struggled except one or two

It's annoying when he selfishly bats defensively.

Sajda on 50 lol

It's the hypocrisy of his haters. This man has been blessed and we see what happens when Kaptaana takes it upon himself to play like a tulla.

 

[Kianig89]

Tidy over so far

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brutal knock Yasir

Yasir khan played very nice. Good knock so far

Uh ho yeh kya hua?

Some poster got their heartbeat restored

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Perishes for the team. Salute to Kaptaana for this brave innings, leading from the front. I should be supporting Lahore but will support MS just for Kaptaana.

 

[Hellion]

Chacha Afridi is a very good, seasoned spinner.

 

[aqibcric]

pitch kaise hai koi bta sakta

 

[Kianig89]

Solid foundation laid MS should keep up with RR

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Tbf, it was a good innings from him today.

Hey bro, how are you? Thought I would never see you after the Misbah post where you forgot draws exist or claimed Warne and Gillespie played 2003 WC final.

 

[Rana]

Tbf, it was a good innings from him today.

Na bro it’s typical Rizwan, like Iftikhar and Khushdil

Try to get a look in for first 10 balls

Hit a couple of boundaries

Then stat pad to 50

It’s standard Rizwan

He got out, otherwise he would have ended on 60 off 46 even on this road.

Papa John had no issues bashing Pakistan in dallas and tormenting them in the super over?

220 will be a winning score here

 

[Ball Blazer]

FINALLY A BREAKTHROUGH FOR LQ
Muhammad Rizwan dismissed for 32

Khushdil is inconsistent. Sometimes bats extremely well, sometimes bats like chacha and rizzu.

 

[Sachin fan]

So you have such gems and still open with Babar in international?

 

[followed]

They should keep going. No need to be defensive now.

PSL ' John Cena Uzy in action now

 

[RyanRyan10]

Standards are so low that 32 (17) is being celebrated that too when he cashed in on start provided by a youngster

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good start by Multan here , they have good chance to get a dependable total.

 

[Rana]

YK unnecessarily slowing down

Keep going. Your the man whose in.
