[AssassinatedDevil]

I pray that Saif Badar plays and does well today. Babar hopefully plays to his potential to shut up "Babar ain't made for t20" critics.

If Babar does well the usual suspects will be chanting: small boundaries small boundaries!

[Madplayer]

Saif badar batting at 7 is pointless for his career.

 

[Madplayer]

Is it raining?

 

[last_knight]

Saif badar batting at 7 is pointless for his career.

And we were told that Shoaib Malik rates Badar highly.

 

[mhraja]

Saif badar batting at 7 is pointless for his career.

He should bat ahead of Sohaib Maqsood.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Australian commentators are really amazing.

Australian commentators are really amazing.

Brilliant

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Appaling really that both teams have nobody better than Bravo, Maqsood and Manzoor.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The quality of players has really gone down this PSL.

 

[Khan12]

The quality of players has really gone down this PSL.

Thanks to the ttf's who have filled all the teams.

Is it still raining??

Is it still raining??

Yes.

Such a shame as the crowd was very good today. Looks impossible to get a game today as weather doesn't look too promising.

Looking at weather.com the rain should be stopping right about now.

 

[Syed1]

The only way we could have dropped a point....

 

[mmkextreme_1]

The only way we could have dropped a point....

I know this might hurt you

Only way us Qalandar fans at this point can hope for Lahore to gain a point is through rain

Man I'm just amazed at the Karachi bowling lineup....


Amir
Shinwari
Mills
Irfan Jr
Imad



It is borderline ATG in T20s. Mills and Irfan are the weak links but even they have the right ingredients to be a real handful.

play abandoned. Do fans get refund for tickets?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Match's been called off. Let's hope we at least get to see the 2nd match

 

[MMHS]

One can bare with these wickets in UAE, but rain in desert ........, looks like this year's PSL is cursed by some spell.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

For the 2nd game get a 5 over game in

Cursed by the IPL

 

[Syed1]

People are crying about the "quality" of the PSL as if someone is forcing them to watch it..... if you don't like it just flip the freaking channel. PSL is entertaining for the people it is actually intended for, we don't care about the opinion of outsiders.

Just saw a friends video from the stadium and the crowd was amazing today unfortunate that it got rained off.

MS vs KK: Match abandoned due to non existent rain.

Was at the Stadium yesterday expecting an enjoyable match between the table toppers. It was cloudy with droplets falling from the sky. A full house waited for the game to start making a lot of noise.

All my time sitting over there, I hardly noticed any rain. It at best could have been called boonda-baandi with few drops falling.

This was my first experience of watching a game at the stadium which is delayed due to rain, but I thought the rain wasn't enough to halt a game. The groundsmen were sitting in the stadium without any umbrellas and no one seem to be affected by that. I have watched games on telly where probably heavier drizzle occurred but the match was continued.

Anyway, as I do not have much knowledge about this, what are your opinions of match being held by rain. Below I am putting some pics which were captured as soon as the match was called off. This was as bad as the rain got.

It depends on the drainage system. The umpires' main worry was the outfield which can be dangerous for fielders when it's wet. They probably also were a little extra cautious due to the Rumman Raees injury on the previous day.
