PZ may get a win due to rain.


Would be a fluke win.

 

[Hawkeye]

IU might as well lose this match due to Shadab and Faheem.

Yes - it's lost. It was so clueless to feed Faheem to Kami, that too within the PP.

Akif drop catch is costly now as d/L score would hv increased.

PZ will win this base on D/L method.

Rain isn't stopping.

Thanks to Shadab and Faheem, we've lost this.

‘invincible Islamabad’... wow what a team.

Poor from Misbah again. To select Faheem and then not planning the power play bowlers.

Shadab has been a poor captain but if anyone thinks he has any real power they’re deluded.

Akif should have bowled in the power play.

No it was not costly because there was a catch next ball.

Stop scapegoating weak players

 

[ethan hunt]

Haider is a talent and a half.
Do not ruin him.
Seen a talent like that with the bat for pak after ages.

Here comes another genius. Shadab and Faheem are best friends. We know who got him in and disturbed the invincible XI.

Shadab's decision to not bowl Akif up front, and feed Faheem to Kami has fired back big time.

I have been saying Shadab is a poor fielding captain, and he keeps proving me. Only last match was good enough.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Faheem Ashraf shld not have bowled until now.... not sure why he was introduced when Akif has been consistantly , not only been faster, but also has SWUNG the ball...

poor captaincy but then he is still 21 and learning

 

[Rellu_Katta]

people forget tht the main reason likes of Akmals and Shahzadz and Faheemz r regulars in PSL is becz they have unfortunatly performed in previous events....

Akmal is top scorer in PSL
Shahzad is in top5
Faheem was top wicket taker in 2018 and in top 5 in 2019

so they cannot be dropped just like tht

More n more youngsters need to step up... like Zafar Gohar performing and haider ali and zeeshan ashraf will put a lot of pressure on the TTFz to be discarded - Having said that IF they are given proper chances

You have to earn that attitude. None of the players you have written is better than Kohli.

Yes because it takes a genius to know that Misbah would take the direction of a 20 year old show captain and chose Faheem.

If anything, given Islamabad need a number 7/8 batsmen and bowler, Faheem fits the bill better than Talat. Talat can’t hit, especially at the death and his bowling is even worse that the pies that Faheem dishes out.

Talat is a top order batsman, not a lower order all rounder.

When Kohli hit the cameraman in his early days he wasnt some great player.

there will be a mental patient coming to bite u soon on how dare u speak truth abt "Let them come home" kholi....

When did this happen??

 

[moghul]

Shadab, good player but poor captain at this stage, hopefully will learn and will be a better captain in future, really very poor captaincy so far, will cost IU this match.

Rain again

 

[PakPremi]

What should he do? I agree Faheem shouldn't be in the team but that blame lies with Misbah more than anyone else. It's his damn job and don't tell me Shadab has more say than him.

Once Faheem is in the team, Shadab can't bowl for him.

Any excuse to have a go at Shadab , people make up stuff like he selected Faheem because they are friends just to find excuse to malign him. He is a new and learning captain so no doubt he will make many mistakes in the field. I remember some posters were claiming Shadab is deliberately not selecting Zafar in the team as he feels threatened , well Zafar is playing regularly now. So is he suddenly not insecure now

Fans love having their own heroes and villains.

 

[minamino]

Thank god the match called off and PZ wins it. Shadab needed this so that he can stop trusting his friends but god that was some awful batting by IU at the death which costed them.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

well a win is very much needed now.Go Peshawar! jiyo wahab and company!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

kamran akmal's innings helped them in this match.

not to malign him but to avoid the criticism on misbah.

Peshawar Zalmi beat Islamabad United by seven runs on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method on Saturday.

Zalmi were 85 for two in nine overs – seven runs ahead of the par score – in their chase of 196 when rain brought the match to a halt at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.

United put an impressive 195 for five as Colin Munro and Shadab Khan scored half-centuries. The pair crafted a 67-run partnership after Luke Ronchi (six) and Rizwan Hussain (five) were dismissed by Rahat Ali (one for 41) and Hasan Ali (two for 36).

Both batsmen registered their third fifties of the season. Munro made 52 off 35, in which he hit four fours and two sixes, while Shadab smashed five fours and four sixes in his 42-ball 77. Shadab was later named man of the match.

Colin Ingram was the other notable performer with the bat as he made 41 runs from 25 balls.

Peshawar Zalmi were given a flying start by Kamran Akmal. The wicketkeeper-batsman made a 21-ball 37, in which he struck four fours and a six.

Tom Banton and Haider Ali were batting at 20 off 16 and 16 off eight when the players were forced to walk off the ground due to rain.

Scores in brief

Islamabad Untied 195-5, 20 overs (Shadab Khan 77, Colin Munro 52, Colin Ingram 41; Hasan Ali 2-36)

Peshawar Zalmi 85-2, 9 overs (Kamran Akmal 37, Tom Banton 20 not out)

Result Peshawar Zalmi win by 7 runs (DLS)

 

[Mamoon]

Shadab batting well against [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] favourite zalmi. this must be very tough day for you ..

May he continue to score impact-less runs and may United continue to lose. All praise to the Almighty and His endless bounties. InshAllah the trophy is coming to Zalmi again.

Fluke win. Rain has saved Zalmi once again

Not a fluke. Zalmi deserved to win.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rain spoiled the party but it is what it is.

PZ now should go to play-off.

 

[MMHS]

PZ are the luckiest team - got 3 points out of 4 against IU, for which most likely they would have been blanked without rain.

Banton was looking really good and Malik was yet to come so I don't think they would not have chased 100 in last 10.

 

[moghul]

The way Banting and Haider were playing , they would have won even in a full match . Shadab , with his captaincy was giving Zalmi every opportunity they could have asked for .
