PSL 2018 Match 16: Sohaib Maqsood's 85* leads Multan Sultans to 19-run win over Peshawar Zalmi

[backfootpunch]

If Fakhar is gone in the first over, you have Babar and Haris in the power play. Does not make sense[/QUOT

I actually feel Babar will score more boundaries as he likes to target the V and Haris is the best player of pace in the country by some distance as well, so they will be able to utilise the gaps in the field during the the PP.

 

[DeadBall]

They should use a spinner for Fletcher.

WI are the most physically gifted in the realm of cricketing nations.

Both will let the RR drop from 6 to barely 5. Than trying to accelerate, neither has the power to hit big and will sky one to midwicket.

 

[Syed1]

Both teams are packed with foreign or senior bats.... no youngsta beauties to look forward to. That seems to be the recipe of success in PSL unfortunately.

 

[Rayyman]

Wow I missed the good part in class.

Now I get to watch K Akmal, Smith, Hafeez, Weasels against Tanvir, Irfan, Pollard, Malik.

PSL zindabad


BTW best six ever

 

[DeadBall]

Just get another 2 wickets and game over.

 

[Amirforpresident]

One good innings and people want Maqsood back in the national team.
Some people never learn. Let him play 4-5 good innings before we can talk about a comeback.

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Indian brothers...which channel is showing the match today? Dsport showing nidahas trophy.

It's not the recipe. Rather the foreign players are hiding the deficiencies of TTF's which install enough confidence in the management not to play developing players.

He has had one good innings. However, everybody here is aware of these flash in the pan innings. If he can play 1-2 more innings like this in a high-stakes game, MA will want him to be part of the national team right away.

This is a continuation of his run in domestic.

 

[rizwanak]

Andre Fletcher - six of the tournament

In the PP it isn't just about playing the aerial route it's also about finding gaps in the field and rotating strike.

Ideally Pakistan would have wanted Sharjeel to have opened with Fakhar because he had the ability to attack quality pace and take the game away from the opposition but I cannot think of anyone even nearly as good as him in that respect.

 

[DeadBall]

2 down, 1 to go.

Kami’s bat sticker sums up his career..”BS”

and still he will be around pak setup

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi struggling here

 

[DeadBall]

"Benevolent Striker"?

Badass would have been better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith needs to play a longer cameo here for Zalmi to have any chances

 

[DeadBall]

Fawad Rana should contact that Prem Jyotish guy.

 

[Justcrazy]

smith

haha here in pp
there are many poster
who just by seeing couple of good shots is enough for them they will make thread of that player and start asking for their place in pk.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez gets that away

 

[Plumb]

Blessed to play all formats ll save zalmi

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

smith pot belly can give tough competition to Sarfraz

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi needs to find some big overs here

 

[Justcrazy]

45 / 2

7 overs

 

[DeadBall]

smith pot belly can give tough competition to Sarfraz

He's just a T20 mercenary and has a much much better power game than Sarfaraz.

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith , thats like a bullet

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

He's just a T20 mercenary and has a much much better power game than Sarfaraz.

im just comparing there belly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shahzad most likely cost Multan a 200+ score.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pollard

 

[Justcrazy]

required rate almost 11 now.

 

[DeadBall]

Didn't know they used the grill cleaners for the shoes. I have two of those.

 

[Justcrazy]

smith gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Peshawar Zalmi posting a 159 score in response.

You heard it here first.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi ship is sinking fast here .

 

[DeadBall]

I guess even my estimate of 130 was too high.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mis field and four

 

[Justcrazy]

65 / 3

10 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez hits over the head , straight

 

[Josh]

Good game but PSL became ESL once again after it moved back to Dubai.

 

[Justcrazy]

good shot

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Did Ramiz just say Hafeez is like Dhoni?

 

[Justcrazy]

101 from 49 balls.

 

[Greenstorm]

Who is this ricky wessels ?

 

[Justcrazy]

another good hit to start the over

 

[DeadBall]

Can't even put the half trackers away.

 

[Justcrazy]

90 from 42 balls

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hafeez is the most selfish cricketer Pakistan has ever had. Embarrassing.

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

this is obviously all Hammad Azam's fault

 

[Greenstorm]

Why are they not sending Hammad azam

 

[MMHS]

Ul Haq needs MoHa to score another 13, to normalize Maqsood impact today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Someone needs to play a blinder here

 

[Syed1]

I'd much rather see two 20-25 year olds taking a stab at this target and failing than an unknown Englishman and 37 year old Hafeez trying and succeeding.

 

[Justcrazy]

hafeez

 

[Justcrazy]

58 from 27 balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ul Haq needs MoHa to score another 13, to normalize Maqsood impact today.

Good one

 

[Justcrazy]

Boundaries not coming , Zalmi need to find some over boundaries to spice up the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

50 from 18 balls

 

[badsha001]

professor doing what he does best. playing a selfish knock

 

[Abdullah719]

What is Junaid doing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Junaid )

 

[TeymurBlake]

The game is starting to have a interesting end. Hafeez playing a good ol' fashioned selfish knock.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is Junaid doing

Trundling

 

[Justcrazy]

Zalmi hanging with very very thin thread here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Irfan too

 

[Fahdi]

I think the dew is making it difficult to land the ball in the right spot hence the looseners

 

[MMHS]

Multan is one bowler short. No reason to play Bravo in this line-up instead of Viljoen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir has no pace and gets the wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

33 from 12 balls

They need at least 16 - 18 runs this over

 

[Justcrazy]

More than wicket the dot ball will hurt

 

[Greenstorm]

disappointing from hammad

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hammad our for zero... is he just unlucky or not good enough?

 

[srh]

Hammad Azam never get past Sohail Tanvir

 

[badsha001]

disappointing from hammad

lol what?
