Peshawar Zalmi (211/4) beat Lahore Qalandars (203/6) by 8 runs in a high-scoring thriller of PSL 9

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi looking set for a big total here

 

[Asad T]

Wow what a shot from Asif

 

[Asad T]

That looked too high

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Afridi has bowled well here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Watching Imran now it seems like the kid has regressed rather than improved over his 3 PSL seasons till date.

This is what happens when you have a bunch of promising fast bowlers but no insights or helpful coaching on improving themselves.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Asif Ali out to a juicy full toss when it should be a six. Such a fraud & a hack.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a shot Haris

First ball six off Shaheen

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a start by Haris. Outrageous six.

 

[Justcrazy]

Harris hits six off first ball faced...

 

[hitthestump]

Asif Ali out to a juicy full toss when it should be a six. Such a fraud & a hack.

Absolutely useless player. Played way too many games for Pakistan when he’s barely even domestic level

 

[oatmeal]

They just need to get Fakhar out early and it will be game over

 

[oatmeal]

Brain dead review

 

[Nasty Naz]

It's really nice to see Shaheen looking more like the Shaheen we know. The pace is back up there, he gets swing in his early overs and despite the team poor performance, he is still finding ways to get wickets.

I really hope he just stays heathy and has a long career.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Mohammad Haris has the most clear mentality of an aggressive batter in Pakistan. This is an advantage and also a disadvantage.

If you open with Haris or send him in death overs with a clear role of just hitting. He will become an advantage.

If you will ask him to play in middle order or build an innings. He will become a disadvantage for your team.

 

[Rana]

Wow Rizwan one shot tuk tuk fans love it when Asif Ali who plays for his team instead of himself gets out trying to hit sixes

 

[Asad T]

Really no point going to ball tracking when you see this still

 

[Nasty Naz]

Bruh these reviews man...

 

[Justcrazy]

197

8 balls to go.

Exactly! We made the exact same mistake with Umar Akmal.

Either send Haris in as an opener or at the death. He must have a license to thrill.

If you start trying to send him into situations with game awareness it’ll only confuse him.

Same with Haider Ali.

 

[oatmeal]

Amazing shot by Haris. This is out of LQs reach

 

[jattafridi]

what a performance saim ayub

Congrats Zalmi fans

Lahore Qalandars

 

[Nasty Naz]

Haris displaying some amazing shots in his arsenal.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Brilliant from Ayub.

Lahore look like they checked out of the tournament.

 

[Rana]

I would send Jahandad at 3 today

He is in excellent form, they will need this guy to go hard up top to chase this down

 

[Asad T]

Yeah, but not sure if Shaheen has the accument to think out of the box

 

[Champ_Pal]

Powell did the damage. Fine cameo.

 

[Human786]

Will PZ defend 211 easily ? [p 2 keto trash closed in 8 minutes on this thread ]

 

[Rana]

Well it’s a big total, but it could have been a lot worse for LQ

Might as well give it all they have and get these runs

 

[Justcrazy]

212 is the target for Lahore

 

[Rana]

Yeah, but not sure if Shaheen has the accument to think out of the box

Aqib isn’t as dumb as Shaheen

He needs to be awake today. LQ bat all the way to 9, they can get these runs

 

[PakEngFan]

I can swear that there are better bowlers in the Bham league

For sure. Some of the players they pick are club level players at best

 

[Asad T]

Aqib isn’t as dumb as Shaheen

He needs to be awake today. LQ bat all the way to 9, they can get these runs

For sure
And if there is any dew tonight it will just aid them
Fakahr and Farhan can easily blow the total away on their day let alone the rest

 

[Hyder]

Wow Rizwan one shot tuk tuk fans love it when Asif Ali who plays for his team instead of himself gets out trying to hit sixes

Well Rizwan played similar inning to saims on 160ish pitch and he was criticized lol.

 

[RidiculousMan]

All up to Fakhar. If he fires then Lahore can chase this down.

 

[Human786]

Well it’s a big total, but it could have been a lot worse for LQ

Might as well give it all they have and get these runs

expect a contest buddy ? How is the pitch - not watched a single ball ...

 

[Rana]

Fakhar
Sahibzada
Jahandad
Raza
Brathwaite
RVD
Shaheen

There is no reason why LQ can’t get these runs

 

[Rana]

expect a contest buddy ? How is the pitch - not watched a single ball ...

Best batting wicket. Powell said ball skids on here to the bat

 

[Rana]

Come on Fakhar, always turns up when his team needs him the most…come on boy!

 

[Rana]

Small targets,

80 in the powerplay would set them up nicely

 

[Human786]

Best batting wicket. Powell said ball skids on here to the bat

I see -just switched on feed , Waqar says all up 2 good old Fakhar - 2 dots

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat ,Qalandars need Zaman to fire today.

 

[Human786]

I got some old affinity for Peshawar btw , hope they win - 3 in 1st - damn keto ad on again

 

[Justcrazy]

Just three from first over !

 

[Rana]

Sahibzada middling everything to the fielders

 

[Deewana Mastana]

First boundary for Lahore by Farhan

 

[Human786]

3 fours

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Make that 2 in 2

Back to back boy

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 boundaries on the trott

 

[badsha001]

Battle of Clueless Captains!

 

[Human786]

16 in 2 - dead deck

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 195 runs in 108 balls.

 

[Human786]

4th time closed the distressing keto ad - outtt - me too

 

[FearlessRoar]

3 consecutive fours from Sahibzada Farhan against Luke Wood

 

[Rana]

Soft wicket

Should have smashed that for 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Farhan gone , Fakhar Zaman needs to fire here

 

[Asad T]

Rassie starting really well
Poor line from Naveed bowling too wide

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Decent start despite losing an early wicket of Farhan

 

[Asad T]

Decent start despite losing an early wicket of Farhan

Yeah its evenly poised so far
could be a cracker of a game

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's really nice to see Shaheen looking more like the Shaheen we know. The pace is back up there, he gets swing in his early overs and despite the team poor performance, he is still finding ways to get wickets.

I really hope he just stays heathy and has a long career.

Getting pace up in a T20 with 2 over bursts or just 4 overs in a game isn't a big deal.

It's about how he maintains it other forms of the game is the real deal.

 

[Rana]

What is Fakhar doing?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Straight down the ground six by RVD

 

[Rana]

Fakhar showing no intent I’m afraid

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandars need 176 runs in 96 balls.

Required rate is 11 an over
Lahore need to keep going here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is Fakhar doing?

Somehow trying to get himself or his partner run out

 

[Rana]

Fakhar is so disappointing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar with an ugly hoick and clean bowled

How many times have I seen this now

 

[Rana]

This is what happens when you don’t have intent from ball 1

No one is going to give you half trackers or slot balls to get you going

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Zaman gone

Lahore need to keep momentum going.

 

[iPakistani]

Fakhar the best T20 opener in Pakistan.

 

[hitthestump]

Fakhar with an ugly hoick and clean bowled

How many times have I seen this now

He needs to drop to 4.

He’s struggled as t20 opener for too long now.

If Hafeez had the sense to drop downs, Fakhar should do the same.

It’s not like we even need him as opener. We have so many of them. We need Fakhar in the middle.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Disappointment for Lahore Qalandars as Fakhar Zaman falls cheaply again, clean bowled by Luke Wood! Lahore 38-2 in the 5th over. Peshawar Zalmi tightening the screws early on. Can Lahore recover from this blow?

 

[PakEngFan]

Fakhar is a failed t20 opener.

 

[FearlessRoar]

3 consecutive fours from Sahibzada Farhan against Luke Wood

Could be worth a shout depends what he and the think tank think if there is one

 

[Justcrazy]

Lahore need to take chances here and not get bogged down. If they block also , they will lose the game , so better keep attacking.

 

[Asif321]

Not sure how long fakhar can hold the spot in national side

 

[Rana]

Phenomenal RVD

Keep going big man

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Solid hit , that is exactly what is required.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

RVD smashing these down the ground sixes to perfection

 

[Energy]

RVD is a messiah for Qalandars.
