Peshawar Zalmi [183/8] knock out Islamabad United [171/6] with 12-run win in Eliminator 1

[The_KING]

No wonder TKC doesn’t play for England

 

[zarak]

Unfortunately Babar has a reputation which cannot be taken as sarcasm

I think it was the reputation of his haters that throws people off.

 

[Rana]

Shadab hero once again dropping a catch

 

[Firebat]

That's pathetic from TKC, both batters were halfway down the pitch and he calls "no run" )

 

[Energy]

Omarzai to the rescue.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

No wonder TKC doesn’t play for England

True. I used to wonder myself but tonight he proved me wrong. What a pathetic innings. Finished PZ's chances and his career.

 

[Saj]

Fine leg up and M Wasim is bowling down the leg side.

Pathetic bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi needs to raget 190 here , in a pressure game , this can easily be a winning total.

 

[Snowflake]

TKC has cost PZ at least 20 runs. 15 from 21 is horrendous! A potentially match losing innings

 

[Snowflake]

Fine leg up and M Wasim is bowling down the leg side.

Pathetic bowling.

We’ve seen this all too often from M Wasim at the international stage. Doesn’t surprise me.

Comes across as a poor thinker of the game

 

[Snowflake]

Couldn’t even put away full tosses

 

[The_KING]

This should be TKC’s last game in PSL.

 

[Saj]

Peshawar Zalmi:

137/2 after 12.5 overs
183/8 after 20 overs

46/6 off the last 43 balls

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar showing his class on a pitch with a bit of juice in it for the bowlers.

 

[Savak]

Have a strong feeling Islamabad United are going to choke and mess this up.

 

[PakEngFan]

Hack TKC has pretty much cost Peshawar the game. Once a hack always a hack.

 

[Rana]

Enough runs on the board

 

[PakPremi]

Looks like Data helped IU pull back well, they knew as often its Babar or bust with this team.

 

[Ahmed216]

Have a strong feeling Islamabad United are going to choke and mess this up.

The pitch is not a pancake. Hacks won’t perform today. Peshawar is ahead in the game and it’s going to need a special knock from Hales to turn the tables. Or Munro

 

[Rana]

77-1 in 6 overs to then make 104 runs in 16

Poor after powerplay. Only Harris did something of note with his 31 off 16

 

[Justcrazy]

184 is the target.

 

[PakPremi]

Peshawar Zalmi:

137/2 after 12.5 overs
183/8 after 20 overs

46/6 off the last 43 balls

Simple Simon always used to tell us big boys will cause havoc with superb hittings once Babar is out or does a tactical retirement.

 

[zarak]

77-1 in 6 overs to then make 104 runs in 16

Poor after powerplay. Only Harris did something of note with his 31 off 16

Babar really sucked momentum. Put pressure on TKC and Neesham. Horrible innings.

 

[Ahmed216]

Desperate Simon

Babar proved his class today. It looks like he was playing on a different wicket.

 

[Zues]

Desperate Simon

It's funny gora TKC did not get much criticism from gora commentators. It was absolutely pathetic performance from TKC. Did not seem to be even trying and got Aamir Jamal runout too.

 

[The_KING]

Peshawar Zalmi:

137/2 after 12.5 overs
183/8 after 20 overs

46/6 off the last 43 balls

TKC really sucked the momentum with his pathetic 16 runs from 22 balls innings.

But we all know that a certain someone will somehow blame Babar.

 

[Zues]

Babar proved his class today. It looks like he was playing on a different wicket.

I think this is a good wicket for pinch hitters. Mohammad Haris did well. TKC just performed poorly.

 

[PakPremi]

Looking fwd to interesting chase, this total could be a very good one, but IU have good hitters, and as a Bonus for them there is no Asif Ali in the team.

 

[Zues]

Babar really sucked momentum. Put pressure on TKC and Neesham. Horrible innings.

That is how Rana will always see it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Rahmanullah will go after the bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

12 from first over.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Rahmanullah gone , first blood.

 

[Zues]

I think Peshawar Zalmi has the kind of bowling that Azam Khan will love to play. Zalmi need some luck.

 

[Ahmed216]

Poor bowler Omarzai.

 

[Saj]

18 off the over Wahab Riaz.

Terrible bowling.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Zalmi's bowling is as bad as a minnow team.

 

[Darkrai]

Wahab, never change.

 

[Justcrazy]

55 . 1

5 overs

 

[Champ_Pal]

5 more overs of this hitting, the match will be over.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar deserves to lose for picking Wahab over Shahzad.

 

[Rana]

Tuk Tuk Maqsood

 

[Farah Sohail]

Why is Arshad Iqbal not playing today?

 

[Rana]

He’s probably played 15 dot balls in this 30 so far

 

[Justcrazy]

United need 123 runs in 86 balls.

IU right on track toprogress in the tournament.

 

[Rana]

Feast or famine batting by Maqsood

 

[Rana]

Hogging the strike

Plays too many dots

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi need wickets desperately here

 

[Omer2002]

islamabad have set this up perfectly..TDK defo has cost peshawar

 

[Zues]

There are bowlers like Bilawal Bhatti, Amad Butt etc. Surely there are bowlers better than what Peshawar are playing in Pakistan.

 

[zarak]

Hales slow

 

[zarak]

Why has maqsood slowed down. Playing for 50.

 

[Firebat]

Looking good for Islamabad right now, Zalmi need wickets desperately

 

[Rana]

Maqsood has probably got 28 dots in this innings

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Maqsood doing TKC now. Unreal obsession with stats among Pak batsmen.

 

[Rana]

Dot

Dot

Dot

 

[Rana]

How many dots does Maqsood have?

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I have a weird feeling that Hales is gonna got out and then IU gonna choke.

 

[Saj]

IU have this in the bag surely.

Long batting line-up shouldn't mess this up.

 

[Rana]

IU have this in the bag surely.

Long batting line-up shouldn't mess this up.

Only Hales is timing the ball here

 

[zarak]

Maqsood has probably got 28 dots in this innings

I have a weird feeling that Hales is gonna got out and then IU gonna choke.

Yeah I feel the wicket is not good.

 

[Saj]

With Wahab Riaz there, then IU always have a good chance of winning this match.

 

[zarak]

should be the last game for Wahab.

 

[PakPremi]

PZ were ahead at this stage, but IU have lots of good hitters and should be able to chase it

 

[Rana]

Maqsood can’t afford dots here

Either boundary or rotate

 

[Ahmed216]

Some brainless bowling to maqsood

 

[Rana]

Dots

Dots

Dots

Again and again

 

[PakPremi]

Strange Doull not calling out for Strategic retirement for SM.

 

[Ahmed216]

Maqsood is unscarred he’s not had his usual share of failures this season. Expect him to fail next game when the expectations will be more

 

[Rana]

A nothing innings by Maqsood

90% dots and the rest boundaries

 

[Ahmed216]

Azam walking in trying to look like Viv Richards

 

[zarak]

Is Jamal really bowling at 150 or is that a glitch

 

[PakPremi]

Azam walking in trying to look like Viv Richards

More like Fawad battling out for Imran.

 

[Saj]

Horrible shot that by Maqsood.

Been a problem throughout his career.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

IU is choking. Too many dot balls. Run rate is creeping up.

 

[badsha001]

Is Jamal really bowling at 150 or is that a glitch

he is bowling genuinely quick tonight

 

[zarak]

Is this Babar or Hales. Why has he slowed down with such a deep batting line up. He needs to be immortal like Hercules.

 

[Ahmed216]

There goes the heir to Rizwan

 

[Rana]

IU choking here

 

[PakPremi]

Irshad has bowled really well, mostly the lone ranger.
