[UN talkz]

United to win
Hope it works

 

[dauntless]

Lahore stand no chance.Islamabad will win this with ease.

 

[dauntless]

No coverage once again. Why dsport??

 

[Mercurial]

Qalandars and Kings victories are crucial for us

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[letme alone]

Sahibzada Farhan and Aamer Yamin playing

 

[arehaan]

why select Kyle Abbott when you have Mitchell already in reserves. A proper overseas batsman would easily fit into this Lahore lineup. Who will get the boot from Management for having no clue on squad management.

On a positive note Umar Akmal is no where to be seen and has finally been rid of his misery.

 

[Mercurial]

Umar Akmal dropped, lol. Come on Qalandars, do it for Zalmi

 

[DeadBall]

No coverage once again. Why dsport??

There are lot of streams online, just search for them.

 

[Mercurial]

Shaheen should be given another go.

 

[letme alone]

both team sporting. hope Ql play well

 

[DeadBall]

Sahibzada slotted at number 6.

 

[Rathore]

good to see bilal asif in the squad but who is gonna score ? apart from zaman i dnt any other putting in some scores but a strong bowling strength.

 

[Shafi]

Umar Akmal dropped, lol. Come on Qalandars, do it for Zalmi

Abdul Qadir would find it conspiracy by PCB.

 

[Mercurial]

Fakhar against Sami and Finn, not sure if he will last long.

 

[j_kazmi]

Why is Russel not playing?

 

[Mercurial]

Why is Russel not playing?

Injured, I read somewhere he is out of PSL.

 

[Mercurial]

Fakhar should play sensibly.

 

[DeadBall]

Should've been 4.

 

[DeadBall]

Fakhar swinging blindly, been lucky so far.

 

[DeadBall]

Finn getting phainty for Fakhar.

 

[babajee]

Fakhar against Sami and Finn, not sure if he will last long.

 

[DRsohail]

And they say Fakhar cant play short pitch bowling.

 

[Mercurial]

This is a cool smiley, lol.

 

[babajee]

And they say Fakhar cant play short pitch bowling.

That’s PP experts for you.

Fakhar >> Sharjeel

 

[DeadBall]

18 off the Finn over. LQ 47/0 after 5.

 

[DeadBall]

Don't see the point of Winviz after 5 overs.

 

[Mercurial]

Fakhar gone cheaply, as usual.

 

[dauntless]

Why is that trundler of highest level sohail khan is playing today

 

[letme alone]

why Fakhar

 

[Mercurial]

[MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION]

 

[letme alone]

Why is that trundler of highest level sohail khan is playing today

need to drop for his full toss bowling but there no other option for Ql

 

[shariqnoor]

If I had $1 million, I could bet all 100% of it on Fakhar not playing the full quota of overs. No temperament whatsoever to last the full quota.

 

[DeadBall]

Devcic turning it on.

 

[DRsohail]

Where was he .poor from bz

 

[Usman Chadda]

Devcich is the definition of a hack.

 

[Mercurial]

This guy is some hitter.

 

[DeadBall]

Agha survives.

 

[letme alone]

Agha need to stay

 

[Hermoine Green]

Fear the beard

 

[Hermoine Green]

Devcich is the definition of a hack.

Yes, you need Mr. Technique in T20s )

 

[DeadBall]

Fear the beard

I have a tshirt with that printed on it and the beard looks like an arm with biceps.

On a different note. Agha gone.

 

[world cup captain]

Lahore always comes to life when facing Islamabad.

 

[DeadBall]

Now that LQ has passed 100, *cue collapse.

 

[DeadBall]

Finns fastest, slowest and average balls have all been 0 kph. No wonder he is getting a phainty

 

[DeadBall]

Great decision to send in Ramdin to kill all the momentum.

 

[Abdullah719]

Why is that trundler of highest level sohail khan is playing today

Imran Khan jr. is playing today. Sohail Khan will look like Shoaib Akhtar compared to him.

 

[Abdullah719]

Great decision to send in Ramdin to kill all the momentum.

Aaqib Javed: "Ramdin is a very experienced batsman, he's known in these situations for rotating strike and building an innings"

 

[Cozyrensetter]

Ramdin and matthew wade are the worst WK batsman of modern era.

 

[Abdullah719]

Out hojao

 

[reversehook]

umer akmal must be smiling watching ramdin struggle and go "theek hai, na khilaao mujhay, ramdin toh boht acha khail raha hai...." lolz

but seriously ramdin has been useless so far...

 

[shariqnoor]

Bad result for Islamabad!!!

 

[DeadBall]

Blessing in disguise. If he hadn't gotten out this ball, he should have just retired.

 

[ManFan]

Faheem continuing his excellent PSL with the ball. Shadab chipping in with a useful 4-15-1.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Ramdin came in to bat when Lahore was doing well, then he played this crappy knock of 9 (20) to destroy all the momentum they had.

 

[Sirris]

Oh great today is LQ match.

"How to lose from a winning position in innovative ways" episode 5.

 

[world cup captain]

Thanks to Lahore management, we are no longer looking at a total of 160.

 

[DeadBall]

Collapse XI at it again.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Hope they score 150+ just so Talat would be able to score a 50 in this match.

 

[MMHS]

LQ should be banned from PSL for 2 years & Aquib/Mac for life - for sending Ramdhin at 4 after that start.

 

[Cozyrensetter]

LQ should be banned from PSL for 2 years & Aquib/Mac for life - for sending Ramdhin at 4 after that start.

Ramdin ko qaid ba mashaqat

 

[Mercurial]

Good yorker by Fahim, whoa.

 

[DeadBall]

Calenders could have even reached 180 if not for Ramdin.

 

[DRsohail]

lolzz.sohail khan before Yamin..Legendry aqib Javed.

 

[DeadBall]

lolzz.sohail khan before Yamin..Legendry aqib Javed.

Sohail can whack them.

 

[DeadBall]

Not today though.

 

[shariqnoor]

Getting Ramdin out has cost Islamabad 15-20 runs here.

 

[DRsohail]

Sohail can whack them.

Yamin is bettr in that if they trust him.Any ways talender is out now.

 

[DRsohail]

Not today though.

Has done ntohing so far in PSL3.

 

[BlueDoritos]

LQ could have scored 200 on this pitch if they weren't so clueless about their selections

 

[DeadBall]

Mccullum making Yamin bali ka bakra.

 

[DRsohail]

It shows MCCULUM does not trust Yamin batting abilities.

 

[BlueDoritos]

What the hell was that from McCullum?

 

[MRSN]

LQ should be banned from PSL for 2 years & Aquib/Mac for life - for sending Ramdhin at 4 after that start.

lool Aqib should be banned for simply picking rubbish Ramdin for a T20 team. worst pick ever.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Disappointing total for LQ.Should have made 200 after the start they had.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is there any worse selection for psl than ramdin. Lahore has been v good at the start but finishing has been v poor which is why they are so poor in this psl.

Next season they need morgon or guptill or someone like miller.

 

[shariqnoor]

Disappointing total after being 94/1 at the end of the 10th over, however 163 is a good total. Lahore has Narine and Yasir who can squeeze the runs. Should be a good contest. I believe this match depends on how JP and Ronchi bat. If they get out early, it should be curtains for Islamabad.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Good fightback by McCullum

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What was the point of playing Samit Patel if he only bowled one over.

Also,great spell by Shadab
