Every Pakistani batsman did better than Babar in the last World Cup and Asia Cup.

And? So he had one bad world cup. It happens. Some of our great batsmen such as Inzamam & Yousuf had multiple bad world cups.
 
Simon Helmot, Head coach of Colombo Strikers:

“Babar Azam looks after people, whether it is emotionally, mentally or technically. He is a great asset to have as a support mechanism on the side,”
 
Outstanding by Mohammad Haris for B-Love Kandy in their game vs Jaffna Kings, scoring 81(51)

Let's see if Malik can chase this total down! So far 32 off 20
 
Pakistan 'keeper-batter was declared Player of the Match after he hit 81(51) in his side B-Love Kandy's narrow 8-run win against Jaffna Kings, for whom Shoaib Malik remained 55*(37) in the failed run-chase of 179.
 
Very sad to see this

Babar didn’t have the guts to go through a draft system knowing he would be embarrassed like he was in the hundred draft

Now his team is rock bottom. They have 4 Pakistan first team players. Absolute travesty

This era of T20 cricket in Pakistan is the worst in its history

He will cost Pakistan again if he opens in the next T20 World Cup it’s time to come down the order or someone from the selectors needs to drop him in big matches.
 
Shoaib Malik in action again today for Jaffna Kings - perenial T20 league favourite!
 
Naseem Shah and Babar Azam done well

What was that by Iftikhar?

How is he any better than Umar Akmal??
 
The commentary has been so biased today

They are desperate for Colombo Strikers to win

Another legendary cricketer who will go missing in big matches.

You mean like in the 2022 when he was our best batsmen vs India in 2022 WC and the only reason Pakistan posted a respectable total. Or his performance vs SA in a must win match. Almost pulled off a Razzaq like innings to nearly win the match vs NZ int he 5th ODI too.

Amazing how things like that get forgotten all because he had a bad game in some irrelevant T20 league.
 
Ifty has Iftikharmania on the back of his shirt. These garbage cricketers like Ifty asif Kushdil Nawaz haider start to believe in there own hype !!
 
Fakhar has been poor so far. Goes to show once again why his T20 numbers are so ordinary. On the other end hasaranga is batting like a breeze
 
Babar isn’t half the player Asif Ali is in a clutch situation!

While snake interrupting a cricket match is a rare occurrence, it has happened twice following the incident in the second match. The latest sighting was in the match between Jaffna Kings and B-Love Kandy, which the latter won by eight runs.

A snake was seen slithering in the playing area, just beside former Sri Lanka and B-Love Kandy pacer Isuru Udana. The player, who was unaware of the snake, also endured a momentary scare upon realising how close it was to him as he walked backwards to his fielding position. The player moved away from the spot and then crouched on the field.

This was not it as there was another incident of snake threat during the course of the match. This time the snake was spotted beyond the boundary line but the match proceeded despite its presence.
 
Not very impressive from the Pakistani players at the LPL.

One or two decent performances, but overall pretty average.
 
i would say Fakhar Zaman is below average in LPL...

worrying point as Srilanka is the hub of big tournaments for next few months.
 
For a batsman who's rated so highly Babar doesn't win enough games for the teams he plays in. His progress seems to have stagnated.
Comparisons with Kohli are laughable.
 
Babar 6 of 12 balls Iftikhar 6 of 15 balls 2 match winning innings again in a group decider from Pakistan’s big match players in T20s showing their composure and hitting prowess even on a wicket helping the bowlers.
 
Colombo Strikers out. 4 Pakistan overseas players. All 3 Babar’s mates preferred over non mates

Big slap on Rameez Raja and Aamir Sohail as well who have been overtly criticising the league’s aggressive openers

Alhamdolillah. The truth shall prevail!
 
Worrying sign for Pakistan as pakistani players are not up to the mark in LPL.. and all the upcoming matches are in Sri Lanka..

Net run rate -1.215

Absolute horror show by Colombo. They have the world number 3 (Babar Azam) and Sri Lanka’s top ranked T20 batsman (Pathum Nisanka) in their line up!
 
Pakistani Players are not up to the mark in LPL which is a worrying point.

only 1 hundred by babar and rest of the tournament is failuire for him..
 
Iftikhar Ahmed $50k in the tournament

If you saw some of his dismissals with the bat, you would want him to refund at least $47k back to Colombo management

Still can’t read the wrist spinners having played so much cricket (international and domestic) in recent times

Yes, his batting technique degrees 360 degrees changed in the Lanka Premier League... Srilankan wickets would be so much will be challenging for most Pakistani batsmen.

Who is winning games for Pakistan? You?

Not Babar either.

What game did Babar win for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, both world cups actually where he was captain? The 152-0 is a joint contribution btw by the bowlers who did excellent to restrict India to that score

I said he's not winning 'enough' games. He is now experienced and has had multiple tours of Sri Lanka. Yet he hardly made an impact in LPL against ordinary Lankan bowlers.
He seems to play within himself and lacks killer instinct.
I understand he's darling of pak fans who've been starved of star batsmen in last decade or so but he's not immune from criticism

Tbh the Lankan bowlers are actually not too bad. They have some serious spinners and their pacers are not too bad either. If they have the right management and guidance, they will be a tough proposition to deal with.

-Theekshana (world class)
-Wallalage (emerging world class)
-Hasaranga (game changer/world class)
-Rajhita (dangerous new ball bowler in seaming conditions)
-Kumara (express pace, big wicket taker)
-Pathirana (emerging world class/will become one of the most sought after bowlers in the world soon)
-Madhushanka (emerging world class)
-Binura Fernando (proper left arm seamer. Fitness is his biggest issue)
-Jeffery Vandersey (very good leg spinner)

There is so much to work with in this Sri Lankan side.

So joint contribution isn't a contribution? in the very next game, he scored a tremendous 50 againt a world-class Afghanistan which allowed us to chase.

FYI, cricket is a team game and contributions are always joint. If you want individual performances, better watch Tennis or Snooker.

So what exactly is your argument with Ahmed216? Babar won games for Pakistan alone or his team have won the games for him in joint contributions?

Genuine criticsm is always welcomed but pulling leg for no reason. That guy has 10 t20 tons, has single handedly led KK to the victory as far franchise cricket is concerned, has been top scorer at a T20WC which was a very succssful campaign for PAK team. While on the other hand his contemporary from India is yet to win an IPL after playing like 15 seasons. Cut him some deserving slack. Please.

Single handedly led KK to victory? How old are you honestly?

How did he manage to lose 9 games out of 10 the following season? If he was a lone show??

Go and count the number of runs he scored even in that season, I am not talking about the following season and you know it. Secondly, it is not my job to keep correcting you but you i have to do it, it wasn't the following season where he lost 9/10 games.

Shameful performance from Nawaz Iftikhar Fakhar. And I would only blame the franchise that picks Asif Ali. Not his mistake because he's gully mohalla level tullaybaaz who's been forced to play international cricket.

Hassan has looked in good form his pace was good

Disastrous tournament for Fakhar Zaman.. A worrying sign for Pakistan cricket before going into the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
 
BLK 188/8 (20)

JKS 127 (17.2)B - Love Kandy won by 61 runs

PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Wanindu Hasaranga

The fourth season of LPL T20 will see a new champion as three-time winners Jaffna have been knocked out

Good thing ODI & T20's are different formats then.

It's the confidence you bring to a major tournament that counts.

Fakhar at the moment is not bringing that, nor is he inspiring it amongst his supporters.
 
Cricket is a technically demanding sport, and even minor flaws in a batsman's technique can lead to struggles and unfortunately Fakhar Zaman is dealing with it.

Changes in footwork, balance, or shot selection can affect a player's ability to score runs consistently.
 
Mohammad Haris showing signs of good form

Muhammad Haris, a force of nature at the crease, unleashes his destructive power hitting, turning boundaries into mere dots on the horizon.
 
Fakhar - 156 runs @ 22.3, SR 113.9

Look at that strike-rate. Worrying form ahead of a lot of upcoming cricket.
 
Backing Fakhar to win B love Kandy one of their 2 big matches coming up InshaAllah

Bruh didn't he just put up consecutive centuries vs NZ recently before some meaningless T20 matches.

It's silly to think some pointless T20 matches in a league would all of a sudden shake a player's confidence who has been a dominate ODI player ever since he joined the side. He's playing during a glorified vacation.
 
He struggle

To much emphasis on Fakhars run in the recent T20 tournament.
It should not bother him to much , but just needs to work on the angle of that bat a bit and play a bit straight.
 
fakhar is good on flat and fast wickets, he struggles on slow and spinning pitches, whilst t20 leagues have little to do with international form theres no guarantee fakhar will contribute consistently especially if pak get a run of slow wickets in the WC
 
Fakhar is a confidence player and is just out of form.

If he rediscovers his mojo he'll be back to his destructive self.

I back him to perform once he gets back under the leadership of Babar who seems to always get the best out of his players.
 
Babar Azam no longer the highest run-scorer in LPL

Dambulla Aura vs B-Love Kandy, Final​


Dambulla Aura have won the toss and have opted to bat

Angelo Mathews | Kandy Captain: Unfortunate that our best player misses out in the biggest occasion. He’s single-handedly brought us into the final after those two losses. Unfortunately he’s injured. Lot of injuries, can’t even remember how many. I think the schedule was also hectic. We were the only team that have played three in a row. Can’t remember the changes, Wanindu is out.

Kusal Mendis | Dambulla Captain: Will bat first. Wicket is good. We will put a good score and try to win the game. Hasan Ali is a main bowler in our team, hopefully he will be okay in a few days. We practiced yesterday. We have some plans for this game. Think we can manage today’s game.

Teams:

B-Love Kandy (Playing XI): Mohammad Haris, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Ashen Bandara, Angelo Mathews(c), Kamindu Mendis, Chaturanga de Silva, Asif Ali, Lahiru Madushanka, Mohammad Hasnain, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Nuwan Pradeep

Dambulla Aura (Playing XI): Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis(w/c), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Alex Ross, Hayden Kerr, Dushan Hemantha, Binura Fernando, Noor Ahmad, Pramod Madushan

Haris dismissed playing an awful shot first ball to Noor. He'll be forgotten soon if he doesn't learn to play straight
 
Indeed.. Asif Ali's quick fire cameo eventually made this game. Angelo Mathews also praised his inning.
 
Opting to bat, Dambulla stitched two half-century partnerships but the Kandy bowlers never really allowed them to go berserk and restricted the group stage table-toppers to a score under 150. Kamindu Mendis was Mohammad Haris's opening partner tonight and they got their team off to a breezy start. Scored 47 runs off the powerplay without losing a wicket and it was a combination of boundaries and good rotation of strike. Noor Ahmad provided the breakthrough by cleaning up Haris in his first over. Chandimal walked in at three, wasted little time to get off the blocks and Mendis continued to bat positively. Kandy were 74/1 at the end of the ninth over and it looked like one-way traffic. But Dambulla fought back. They managed to build pressure with dot balls and the Kandy batters succumbed as they slipped from 94/1 to 107/4 within a span of 21 deliveries. Noor was the pick of the bowlers and finished with impressive figures of 3/27.
 
My teams always dominating this format

Lahore Qalandars PSL giants!
B-Love Kandy LPL champions!

Proper brand of cricket!
