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

[Shehmir]

QG will be disappointed if they dont reach 200 runs today

 

[Shehmir]

Haris is tough bowler for keepers. He is both skiddy & wayward

 

[Asad T]

Least number of 6's of those who scored over 200 runs this PSL:
Saud Shakeel: 6 (237 runs) -- sr 117
Colin Munro: 7 (216 runs) -- sr 145
Tim Seifert: 7 (242 runs) sr -- 148
Babar Azam: 7 (288 runs) -- sr 129

 

[mominsaigol]

Game over for LQ. Fakhar injured + Nawaz dropped

 

[Rana]

I don’t blame Nawaz for that crap shot

LQ have stopped the game 2-3 times for long delays

Really tough for batting concentration and momentum!

 

[Asad T]

Ramiz: The best thing about Hasan Nawaz is that he plays it safe, he doesn't force the ball

[next ball swiped across the line and dropped]

rambo is an idiot

 

[Asad T]

I don’t blame Nawaz for that crap shot

LQ have stopped the game 2-3 times for long delays

To be honest, Nawaz plays that shot a lot -- mid wicket heave and gets the leading edge

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow shocking and costly drop from Fakhar. Generally he is as safe as it gets.

 

[Rana]

Again Ramiz with his toxic agendas

 

[Asad T]

oops

 

[Shehmir]

Sitter missed by Fakhar

 

[sweep_shot]

Quetta are ahead at this stage.

 

[TeymurBlake]

It's Hasan Nawaz's day. He better make it count today. He is guiding his team to another PSL.

200 is the minimum from here.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Quetta seem way ahead

 

[Rana]

Every time it’s Guptil who gives the correct insight what the batsman is trying to do.

Haysman and Ramiz don’t have modern batting sense

 

[Nasty Naz]

Not exactly a great over for Nawaz there. 3 edges including a catch drop. Lucky to not be out this over.

 

[Asad T]

It's Hasan Nawaz's day. He better make it count today. He is guiding his team to another PSL.

200 is the minimum from here.

Still Rana and Amir to come -- 200 should be doable

 

[Asad T]

Not exactly a great over for Nawaz there. 3 edges including a catch drop. Lucky to not be out this over.

and somehow get 12 from that over, someone has been praying for him hard tongiht

 

[Rana]

Raza, Fakhar, Abdullah

All 3 look the same

 

[Asad T]

Raza a bit predictable; every time he gets hit, he bowls seam up

 

[Asad T]

Raza, Fakhar, Abdullah

All 3 look the same

when they say "LQ is like family" they really show it

 

[mominsaigol]

Nawaz needs to improve his play against pace. Hes okay when it comes to knocking it around.

I hope pcb doesn't ruin him by making him open

 

[Asad T]

he's good on flat decks -- but we saw in NZ, when there is a bit more pace and bounce he really struggles

 

[Rana]

Shaheen has been a tier above the rest of the bowlers

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah, will be a deer in Australia or England. Needs to improve big time.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Big wicket of Nawaz gone.

Shaheen brings himself on and gets the big one.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen has been brilliant

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Top knock from the youngster.

Yeah it was edgy at times but fortune favours the brave.

 

[Asad T]

Shaheen has been a tier above the rest of the bowlers

Funny, Hasan Ali was picked for the Bangladesh series based on his PSL X performance

Shaheen was dropped but is not the leading wicket taker of PSL X

PCB logic in a nutshel

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz improvement has been the story of this psl for me. He is turning into a middle order gem. Almost unheard of in Pakistan.

 

[Nasty Naz]

A great knock from Nawaz. Came when the team was in trouble and he's set them up for a pretty good score.

Bit of a struggle towards the end of his innings and who knows how much playing through that injury affected him. A kid for the future for sure though.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

LQ got back into the game in the back end of this innings. Get them to under 190 and game is on.

 

[Rana]

All Nawaz had to do was see off Shaheen bowling his best

And then he would have had 2 juicy overs of Rauf and Mirza

Now QG in big trouble

 

[Marooned]

Shaheen has literally led from front at the business end of the tournament.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen was making ball reverse in 11th over

 

[DeadlyVenom]

QG crumbled under pressure

 

[Rana]

Abrar comes across as an absolute tool

Where did he grow up??

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

This Abrar guy is total noob

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think Haris will get the hat trick

Edit: he never

 

[sweep_shot]

Advantage Quetta.

Not easy to chase down 180+ in a final.

 

[Marooned]

Top knock from the youngster.

Yeah it was edgy at times but fortune favours the brave.

Tbf it was pretty flawless till 50.

 

[Rana]

175 breached

Remember the highest score chased in PSL final history is 175

 

[Asad T]

All Nawaz had to do was see off Shaheen bowling his best

Now QG in big trouble

So true, and if he did that, QG would have probably set 205

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Raney!

 

[TeymurBlake]

It's poor bowling but Faheem Rana Ashraf is causing carnage.

 

[sweep_shot]

195/8.

Quetta should definitely win this now.

 

[Asad T]

wth-- rana has gone balistic

 

[mominsaigol]

Faheem ashraf, the hidden gem for QG

 

[Rana]

Oh my days!

Absolute madness!!!

 

[sweep_shot]

6, 4, 6, 6.

Carnage.

200 is up.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Also giving Salman Mirza the last over has failed for LQ

 

[Asad T]

So true, and if he did that, QG would have probably set 205

haha maybe 220

 

[Asad T]

Also giving Salman Mirza the last over has failed for LQ

I think more credit to Faheem than poor bowling from Mirza

 

[Rana]

Manz done his job!

This will take a Herculean effort to chase!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Woooah that was next level batting

 

[Asad T]

Faheem ashraf, the hidden gem for QG

IU probably feel so shitty for dropping him from their squad

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Also giving Salman Mirza the last over has failed for LQ

shaheen too scared to bowl last

 

[sweep_shot]

202 to win for Lahore.

 

[Asad T]

shaheen too scared to bowl last

i hoensly think he did alright, he bowled at that time to try to get Hasan Nawaz out, which he did

i thought it was a smart move. i think it was just brilliance from Faheem

 

[Rana]

Fair play to Shaheen

He brought himself a bit early when Nawaz was threatening to take the game away

 

[amvbfm]

Bad bowling by Salman. Fed Faheem on his onside strength. The moment he bowled offside Faheem struggled. Momentum in favor of QG now.

It was a low full toss

Faheem can send those out of the park too.

 

[Josh]

Lol the guy lip syncing so badly

 

[amvbfm]

Not taking anything away from Faheem's execution but it was generally bad bowling by Salman.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Grape nation wow. Clapping for Field Marshal and his army

 

[Asad T]

Lol the guy lip syncing so badly

and the performers are putting everyone to sleep

 

[RidiculousMan]

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

That's the investment by Lahore Qalandars. They're head and shoulders above all else. Giving custom gold iPhones to their performers. Much better than hair dryers

 

[RidiculousMan]

and the performers are putting everyone to sleep

These guys are always sleeping

 

[Asad T]

enough of the cheap propaganda, let's start the cricket already

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Funny, Hasan Ali was picked for the Bangladesh series based on his PSL X performance

Shaheen was dropped but is not the leading wicket taker of PSL X

PCB logic in a nutshel

And they picked Naseem who has been bowling like an absolute trundler of late. Baffling.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Is this Pakistan's version of the Super Bowl half-time show?

Instead of sexy female dancers and artists like Kendrick Lamar we get propaganda songs and a bunch of dudes dancing with sticks.

 

[Rana]

They should have added Dominic Cork and Alistair Cook as back up dancers to Abrar

That would have been funny

 

[cricfan432]

Bhai yeh naach gana band karo, we want to watch the match

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Enough.

 

[cricfan432]

Muhammad akhlaq replaces asif ali, good to see him getting chance

 

[Asad T]

After this, crowd will go from house-full, back to house-empty

 

[Rana]

Imagine being a Lahore fan right now.

Already under pressure with 200 on the board and now this little concert to prolong the stress

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ab samajh ayi in logon ne match ke timings 7:30 kyun ki thi

 

[Asad T]

lolll what an akward ending "ok let's jut move on"

 

[Josh]

Not impressed with dance. Practice nhi karke aaye hain. This is shadi Barat kinda dance
