Multan Sultans defeat Islamabad United by 9 wickets in 22nd match of PSL 5

Our hitters our so limited. They try to hit every ball to mid-wicket irrespictive of ball's line and length.
 
It happens and I'm not defending Asif Ali but there are more good batsman and hitter than Shadab. Ingram and Rizwan.

Shadab has been Islamabad’s best and most consistent batsmen and has played at a very high strike rate.

Their middle / lower order has done nothing. It was the right decision to send him out early. He failed but hindsight is easy to comment with.
 
What’s imaginary? Are you watching the game, the commentators were shocked at Rizwan’s reaction.

It’s been poor from everyone today with the exception of Munro.

Misbah was the captain when IU won twice and he was a pretty experienced captain and calm personality. So obviously a young team with young leader on the field can have a fiery side.
 
1st ball or 10th ball dismissal for 0 or 4 runs do not help team. I take 70 at strike rate of 195 any day. W

Obviously a 70 at 195 SR is amazing but I would rather have player try to hit runs or get out early (so other batsman can come) rather than eating up balls, holding your better batsman and scoring at 116 SR after taking 12 balls in a mere 9 overs match.
 
Totally .

Last match too, and a couple before that.

He's horrible as a fielding captain and at bowling changes.

So what is misbah role. You have to be deluded if you thing misbah is not responsible.
 
Today shows just how much Shadab’s batting has saved Islamabad. All those armchair critics who have been saying he bats too slowly etc and there are superstars waiting in the dugout got to see how rubbish Islamabad’s middle and lower order is.

Can't agree more🤭
 
Story of every ISLU match.

Shadab coming early has hurt the team's overall ability to set good totals. Plus his bowling changes.

Its a team game, one person cant he blamed. He was promoted because he has been in really good form but he is a human after all

Clueless PP experts they can't blame the clown misbah so they pick on the guy who been carrying them.
 
Shadab running to the bowler after every delivery is not proactive captaincy.

It's being annoying and disturbing the rhythm.
 
Vince with his experience should have taken the strike rather than putting Zeeshan against Steyn in my opinion

Exactly.

You can blame Shadab for poor bowling changes, but to blame his batting which has been brilliant, clearly shows an agenda where people don’t want to blame the all powerful coach.
 
Zeeshan always impresses me with his natural timing
 
If we have to win, Shadab has to be sacked as the captain.

This experiment needs to end.
 
That is exceptional stuff from Vince. Other than couple of deliveries Akif didnt do much wrong in that over
 
Exactly.

Deluded to think shadab is in charge.
 
Shadab needs to be shown that's what true batters and hitters do.

That's what you promote up the order when 9 overs a game.

This pathetic selfish creature promoted himself!!
 
Guys who else is really worried about Pakistan t20 batting

For real we have people bumping threads for Shadab to bat at 4 and Haider Ali who has no fifties is the unanimous #3 in PP.

Then we have guys like iftikhar, rizwan, malik, Hafeez, ahsan starting for the national team.

I’m so concerned wth and psl is same as always Kamran Akmal dominating lolll
 
People need to understand psl has fundamentally changed this season. ISLU might have been the best team in uae but this is Pakistan. This is a completely different world.
 
How hard is it to say multAan sultaans

Seriously get the pronounciation right u have one job. Stupid British commentators god damn

It has been more darker for QG I think
 
Oh shut up, please!

Go easy on him. He’s having a tough time.

Look at some of his posts after Islamabad won their first couple of games.

The amount of rubbish he spouted when I said Multan have a good chance in this tournament and should go to the playoffs comfortably, is coming back to bite him now.

I dont think he will be taking all the calls himself. Who should be the captain in your opinion?

Highest scorer with highest strike rate for Islamabad I belive. Comeback again. Why doesn't misbah drop his friend asif ali.
 
Vince edges are also going for 4s, looks to be his day
 
Incredible innings from James Vince this has been. He's on 49 in just 17 balls while hitting only 1 six so far!

He expects a minumum Strike rate of 250, at an average of 100. 166 sr at 41 average isn't good enough.
 
Ronchi is a good and mature option.

It might be his last season as a player though if I am not wrong and he is already in assistant coach/ player role. IU needs to think for future seasons too

I didn't blame Shadabs batting too much in other matches.

Because he had 20 overs to come in and settle first.

Today was not the time to do it as he's not a proper hitter and struggles when he comes in initially.

He lost us the game by promoting himself. Today was not the day to do it. With only 9 overs we needed genuine batsmen and hitters.

He only come in ahead of misbah friend asif who's highest score is 20. But playing because he's misbah friend. Though Ingram should have come in before shadab. You have been blaming him every game when you lose and worshiping misbah when ever they win.
 
As I said in one of the earlier match haider is miles better better then zeeshan.

Haider is a prodigy with much higher sealing so there is no doubt about that. I think Zeeshan is a better player than he has shown till now
 
Why do these substandard players get selected by franchises? Why? These franchises are ditching the proper player pathways just to get players like Zeeshan into their squads. I’d like to know why?
