Lahore Qalandars (204/4) defeat Quetta Gladiators (201/9) in a thrilling contest by 6 wickets to clinch their third PSL title

[Asad T]

Saud Shakeel this PSL:

11 innings
237 runs
29.62 average
118 sr

The slowest, by far of anyone scoring over 200 runs this tournament. The second slowest was Babar at 129

 

[RidiculousMan]

There was only one good innings by Allen in this whole tournament. Big flop he was.

Lets hope Nawaz does what he does best.

 

[Asad T]

How is the crowd for today match?

About 60% full, but expected to be full after 30 mins
a lot of folks still outside waiting to get admission

 

[Rana]

6 wickets and then Amir comes into the bat

 

[Asad T]

ouch

Not good numbers but he has led them well

 

[aqibcric]

Captaincy

 

[RidiculousMan]

I got goosebumps with those two shots by Nawaz

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a talent Nawaz is showing to be. Love that he is completely flexible with his batting order too. Can open and bat in the middle.

the lad is fearless

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's what I believe as well. He's such a good talent that he can bat anywhere

 

[Asad T]

Fakhar
Saim
Hasan Nawaz
Mo Harris
Shaibzada Farhan
Salman Agha

Our top oder in T20 cricket has potential, I wish we had Yasir Khan as well for the Bangladeh series

 

[amvbfm]

Saud was definitely not out. But might be a blessing for QG if Rossouw and Nawaz stick around.

 

[Rana]

Wasim Akram has zero commentary timing

Doesn’t know how to create excitement at all!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow what a six from Rossouw there. Don't think the delivery was even that bad, just one heck of a shot.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fakhar
Saim
Hasan Nawaz
Mo Harris
Shaibzada Farhan
Salman Agha

Farhan shouldn't play if he isn't opening

 

[Asad T]

No DRS, no radar guns in a final. Has the feeling of a domestic final than your premier tournament.

nice to have a lot of choice for once

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta need a solid partnership here

 

[Justcrazy]

57 . 2

Power play gone.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasan v Spinners will make or break this innings.

 

[Asad T]

loll Sikander landed 10 mins before the toss

 

[RidiculousMan]

loll Sikander landed 10 mins before the toss

This is ludicrous. I'm surprised match referee has allowed it.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

rossouw gone , big blow for Quetta.

 

[Hyder]

Emerging player of the season is Hassan nawaz and sec is naeem

 

[Justcrazy]

loll Sikander landed 10 mins before the toss

So far it has proved to be useful , he has taken a big wicket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gladiators falling apart rather quickly than anticipated

 

[Deewana Mastana]

yes some close competition btween top 2
and me and @Sarmad

All for a 100 bucks kya zamana aa gaya hai

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Afridi has been game changer for LQ, it was ridiculous move by PCB to remove him from captaincy after one series

 

[Shehmir]

Rossouw big wicket for LQ

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen needs to calm down

 

[Shehmir]

Hassan Nawaz playing well

 

[Asad T]

Afridi has been game changer for LQ, it was ridiculous move by PCB to remove him from captaincy after one series

after only 3 games haha

meantime, they gave Shan a longish run even after losing 6 tests in a row, including a series vs bangladesh

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to bat the next 5 overs and try to target 35 - 40 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

S I X

Hassan is looking good.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If QG lose Nawaz it's game over for them

Doubt they guy knows this himself as the IQ levels are ridiculously low.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Nawaz with another gorgeous six. Crazy that he's carried the teams batting lineup for most of the season as an emerging player.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasan Nawaz is the modern day innings builder. These are rare in Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rishad bowling filth and getting the treatment for it too by Nawaz

 

[Rana]

500 PSL sixes

Most ever!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan Nawaz with another gorgeous six. Crazy that he's carried the teams batting lineup for most of the season as an emerging player.

Goes to show you how bad it is in Pakistan

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Hassan Nawaz a breath of fresh air for Pakistan, I hope he is backed at International level

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 off 21 for Hasan Nawaz

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s record holder for a reason!

 

[Asad T]

Top lad

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He is limping too Nawaz

He needs to stay there for another 5 overs atleast if not the full 10

 

[mominsaigol]

Nawaz is an amazing player of spin. That 100 of 44 wasn't a fluke. Solid prospect. Now please tell rizwan to vacate no 4

 

[Shehmir]

Great fifty from the youngster

 

[Rana]

Monster hitter of spin

Pakistan has no one who can launch sixes against spin staying in their crease

 

[Justcrazy]

100 . 3

10 overs.

Quetta are in good position here

 

[Shehmir]

100runs in 10 overs. Great come back for QG

 

[Rana]

Pervez Musharaf??

 

[Asad T]

Nawaz is an amazing player of spin. That 100 of 44 wasn't a fluke. Solid prospect. Now please tell rizwan to vacate no 4

who would you top 4 be now, consideing we have ample openers now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Monster hitter of spin

Pakistan has no one who can launch sixes against spin staying in their crease

Misbah used to

 

[Justcrazy]

If these two can bat till 15 the over with this momentum , Karachi will be under big pressure

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Spoken english in general in Pakistan is very poor don't know how to say what words to use when put on the mic.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

after only 3 games haha

meantime, they gave Shan a longish run even after losing 6 tests in a row, including a series vs bangladesh

Naqvi has done more harm than good to Pakistan cricket

 

[Rana]

Highest score chased in a PSL final is 175

 

[BDfanforever]

That PSL organizer sounded like a complete moron...worst than Athar Ali.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What have they done both Asif and Naeem down

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That PSL organizer sounded like a complete moron...worst than Athar Ali.

He's the head of HBL not PSL.

 

[Rana]

2 concussion subs?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan Nawaz isn't fully fit yet he's played a gem of a knock so far

 

[TeymurBlake]

Man this knock from Nawaz is special, considering the occasion of this game.

 

[Shehmir]

Great catching from LQ so far

 

[Asad T]

Great catching from LQ so far

only because the ball hasnt gone to Naeem haha

 

[mominsaigol]

who would you top 4 be now, consideing we have ample openers now

In odi and t20

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Shabzada Farhan/Saim Ayub(Depending on form
3) Kamran Ghulam/Babar( Odi only, depending on form)/ Muhammad Haris(T20)
4) Hasan Nawaz

 

[Asad T]

Time for Avishka to move on as well now

 

[mominsaigol]

Misbah used to

Misbah wasn't anything special against spin in odi. He had monster sixes but he hit them far and few in between.

Hafeez and Malik were both better players of spin then him.

 

[Rana]

Stupid way to get out

It was in the slot, just gave a dolly to Shaheen

 

[RidiculousMan]

Misbah wasn't anything special against spin in odi. He had monster sixes but he hit them far and few in between.

Hafeez and Malik were both better players of spin then him.

Original comment was about hitting from inside the crease. Malik and Hafeez used to hit from coming down the pitch.

 

[Rana]

I don’t understand these guys

Naeem and Fakhar collided. Just use the tapal tea break in this time…

There has been so many pointless delays in this inning! 1 hour 15 minutes and only 13 overs bowled!

 

[Shehmir]

Raza landed just 10 Mins before the toss. Its unbelievable that he is playing today's match

 

[Asad T]

I don’t understand these guys

Naeem and Fakhar collided. Just use the tapal tea break in this time…

maybe 2 over penalty in the end

 

[mominsaigol]

Original comment was about hitting from inside the crease. Malik and Hafeez used to hit from coming down the pitch.

Oh yeah then I agree. Misbah had a very strong backfoot. Probably why he was so successful in uae especially in test.

 

[Asad T]

Raza landed just 10 Mins before the toss. Its unbelievable that he is playing today's match

imagine if his flight got delayed, out have been such a waste of money haha

 

[Rana]

Shaheen is bloody evrywhere in the field

 

[Rana]

More sixes than Allen and Russow combined for Nawaz

Respect!

 

[TeymurBlake]

LQ need to get Nawaz's wicket. 170 would be a gettable target compared to 200+.

 

[Rana]

170 is risky

180 should be good

190 tough going for LQ

 

[Asad T]

Most PSL X 6's

Hasan Nawaz: 27
Fakhar: 24
Shaibzada: 21
