Toss in about 45 minutes, and it seems it's one of the most important facets of the matches in PSL 6.

Were Steyn and du Plesis not in Pakistan?
Since they're here now. Will they play the whole season?

Both playing today

 

[MenInG]

Peshawar Zalmi have won the toss and will be bowling first against Quetta Gladiators

 

[Omer2002]

surely Naseem shud have played over Shinwari

 

[Kingpin786]

Still no Naseem

 

[Titan24]

With Shinwari maybe they wanted to keep a left arm angle but surely the way he and Sarfaraz went in the last match one would have thought Naseem could have been brought in.

 

[IMMY69]

This Saim Ayub kid is a real talent.

 

[Titan24]

Ayub looked pretty good against Mujeeb.

 

[asadee]

Saim looks test and odi material should not waste him in t20s

 

[Omer2002]

I think he is definately eligable for next un19 world cup so shud be playing in that

 

[Titan24]

Mohammad Imran with a wicket on first ball. Emerging guy is having a pretty good tournament so far

 

[silentkiller187]

Our players need to realise there is more to celebrating then standing still and doing the two hands in the air boom boom style.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I think he is definately eligable for next un19 world cup so shud be playing in that

Too old. He was eligible for the last one but I think he was ill. He’s 18 now about to turn 19.

 

[Titan24]

Imran is a pretty smart bowler based upon what he has shown so far in his limited career. A pleasant change indeed.

 

[Titan24]

Too old. He was eligible for the last one but I think he was ill. He’s 18 now about to turn 19.

Yes, was injured and thus missed the last U19 WC if I am not wrong.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quetta has regressed as a team as the PSL has gone on

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Mohammad Imran with a wicket on first ball. Emerging guy is having a pretty good tournament so far

All of them have been excellent. Dahani, Imran, Arshad in particular followed by Ayub, Waseem Jr, followed by Ahmed Danyal.

 

[Titan24]

139.6 kph from Imran. Mixes it really well

 

[Titan24]

All of them have been excellent. Dahani, Imran, Arshad in particular followed by Ayub, Waseem Jr, followed by Ahmed Danyal.

True, all have been pretty impressive. Good to see.

 

[Titan24]

Mohammad Imran has pretty decent control over his skills. Great pick from Mohammad Akram in emerging category, his eye is generally pretty good.

 

[Firebat]

What a shot by du Plessis

 

[Titan24]

What a shot from Faf

 

[shamaan]

Good stuff from imran.brillant control in the first 2 wickets.

 

[Firebat]

These are some very juicy wide half volleys being dished up by Irfan

 

[Titan24]

Decent little knock from Saim, got run out. Exceptional work from Rutherford

 

[shamaan]

Unlucky stuff for ayub

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Decent little knock from Saim, got run out. Exceptional work from Rutherford

He could have dived better I feel.

 

[IMMY69]

Ayub looks a good
Needs to be playing more first class cricket then T20 cricket.

Hopefully a future Test start

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta will miss here

 

[Justcrazy]

Free hit coming

 

[JibranAnsari]

wow wahab been economical so far...

damn

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta getting to a good position here

 

[Justcrazy]

wow wahab been economical so far...

damn

Wahab is a strike bowler , if he can get few wickets here , it would be good

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta would be looking at 180 here at least

 

[Titan24]

PZ should Imran Randhawa in place of Irfan, if Amad Butt is still recovering from Injury. That would give them a better batting depth as well

 

[PakPremi]

What ever happened to that young spinner with glasses, he was good, shame no one gave him chance afterwards.

 

[Titan24]

Mujeeb has struggled so far in the tournament.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Mujeeb has struggled so far in the tournament.

He didn’t do that well in the IPL this year either. I think a bad phase of his career.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

PZ should Imran Randhawa in place of Irfan, if Amad Butt is still recovering from Injury. That would give them a better batting depth as well

Irfan is a pretty decent option, Wahab is the bigger issue imo.

 

[Justcrazy]

Riaz strikes , that is why he is in the team. He needs to take wickets

 

[Titan24]

What ever happened to that young spinner with glasses, he was good, shame no one gave him chance afterwards.

Yes Ibtisam Sheikh looked decent initially but didnt really develop much afterwards. Wasnt selected in domestic cricket as well for his region. They have got Abrar Ahmed though another emerging leggy now who is coming of an impressive second XI season and played for Sindh's main team as well.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Abrar Ahmed. I have a feeling he will come in next game.

 

[Titan24]

Irfan is a pretty decent option, Wahab is the bigger issue imo.

He is the captain so he is a permanent fixture unless they think about changing leadership during the season. However, yes he has struggled so far.

 

[Firebat]

One thing about Sarfaraz as captain is that he's forcing Azam Khan to run

 

[Justcrazy]

100 . 3

48 balls to go

 

[Madplayer]

So embarrassing to see the Obese Azam khan playing at such a level.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Should get to 180.

 

[Justcrazy]

It would be interesting to see How Kamran bats against Styen , Epic clash

 

[PakPremi]

Abrar Ahmed. I have a feeling he will come in next game.

No I'm talking about Ibtissam I think) from few years back. Played handful of PSL games.

 

[Madplayer]

It would be interesting to see How Kamran bats against Styen , Epic clash

I am more interested in seeing Hafeez Bradman against Steyn.

 

[Madplayer]

You need to have a big hole in your hand to misfield that wahab.

 

[PakPremi]

Yes Ibtisam Sheikh looked decent initially but didnt really develop much afterwards. Wasnt selected in domestic cricket as well for his region. They have got Abrar Ahmed though another emerging leggy now who is coming of an impressive second XI season and played for Sindh's main team as well.

Thats the one .Thanks

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam does not look fit , but he is a boundary hitter

 

[Madplayer]

Azam khan diving looked like a huge teddy bear fell down on the pitch.

 

[Justcrazy]

175 would be tough chase for Zalmi , Quetta has steady bowling attack. Zalmi depends a lot of how Kamran bats.

 

[PakPremi]

Sarfraz is a very good player of spin, if only had big hitting he could have been in Pak middle order in India

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ground must have shook with azams dive there.

Quetta need 180 here.

 

[PakPremi]

Imran looks really sensible bowler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

after a brisk start , sarfraz has mellowed down. 18 runs in his last 16 deliveries

 

[Madplayer]

Lack of natural ability always catches up.

 

[Smbhayi]

That hamare hero's thing is very good concept..

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Sarfraz needs to go big... can't just have 40's...

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Biggest six of the tournament, that has to be. 98 meters by Azam!

 

[Madplayer]

Azam Khan with a Gigantic hit.

 

[Smbhayi]

What a shot by Azam Khan..

 

[PakPremi]

Lack of natural ability always catches up.

Or good bowling.

 

[Titan24]

That hamare hero's thing is very good concept..

Yes really like that, recognizing local heroes from across the field is a pretty good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Huge azam khan swats one out of the ground

 

[shamaan]

What a shot azam khan wow

 

[Madplayer]

Or good bowling.

Sarfaraz is extremely limited in terms of strokeplay. It doesnt come naturally to him. Good bowling could be a factor here too.

 

[Firebat]

Biggest six of the tournament, that has to be. 98 meters by Azam!

I remember Rossouw hitting it over 100m I think

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam does not look fit , but he is a boundary hitter

Azam proves me right , he is clobbering the bowling here

 

[Smbhayi]

And followed by a four.

 

[shamaan]

Third biggest six

 

[shamaan]

They need 180+

 

[Smbhayi]

Azam Khan can't reach the ball when bowling wide..

 

[PakPremi]

Sarfaraz is extremely limited in terms of strokeplay. It doesnt come naturally to him. Good bowling could be a factor here too.

Yes I know that as acknowledged in my earlier post about his big hitting ability but bowlers are also bowling not too bad before this Wahab over.

 

[Madplayer]

They need 180+

True because the opposition has Haider Ali.
