PSL 2018 Match 25: Islamabad United swat aside Multan Sultans with 33-run victory

[world cup captain]

A must win for Multan to stay out of danger from Peshawar. It's going to be a great contest.

 

[ManFan]

Hope Zafar Gohar performs again with a 4-fer' or 5-fer' to cement his place in the international team.

 

[DeadBall]

MS should give Shan a go at opening seeing the form he is in. Shehzad just puts unnecessary pressure on the other batsman.

 

[DRsohail]

Hope ISU wins it .

Looks like a drought in Sharjah! Pitch seems to have had no water since 6 months

 

[ataullah]

Hales and Amad butt playing!!! No zafar gohar though which is dissapointing

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lol farhan and zafar dropped

Nice to see Amad get a go but the other two deserves it more

IU should just stop hoarding our best prospects

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Why has Gohar been dropped

This is how he is rewarded after a good performance..

 

[ManFan]

Zafar Gohar dropped????

 

[Syed1]

Thank you Misbah

 

[DRsohail]

Amamd butt in.welldone misbah........u have thoroughly supersied me ....VERY happy for ISU.... [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION].

 

[DRsohail]

Thank you Misbah

Ammad butt is in...not a bad replacement.

 

[world cup captain]

Haters coming out. Don't play Amad get hate, play Amad but still get hate. It's called hypocrisy.

Haters coming out. Don't play Amad get hate, play Amad but still get hate. It's called hypocrisy.

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] suggested that Misbah will drop Talat and now that didn't happen so they have to hate on him. Misbah has given chances to most of the players in the squad. What have Sarfi, Imad, Malik done? Consistently play asad technique, selfie "kohli", and bat Badar at 7.

 

[Test champion]

who is the IU spinner, who bowled sammy ??

Zafar Gohar, not playing tonight.

Zafar Gohar.

It's not about that. Misbah and IU have given more opportunities to youngsters than other teams. It just does not make sense to drop a bowler who took 3 wickets for 25 runs in the last game.

 

[DeadBall]

IU should have opened with Hales.

 

[DRsohail]

Who is the new commentator??

 

[Test champion]

Zafar Gohar, not playing tonight.

what not playing ?? he is class act when i saw him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

for Ronchi

 

[hamaadqureshi819]

Now every batsman will be playing at one lesser no than they used to and Amaad Butt will be playing as a bowler.
All hail Misbah the visionary.
I hope and pray that this is his last PSL. Honestly he shouldn't be playing it. What is the fun of playing a 43 year old uncle in your premier league.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Who is the new commentator??

Darren Ganga of WI

 

[world cup captain]

Multan have two batsman who can bat, Sanga and Malik. As we all know, Malik is a joke against pacers so Islamabad is minimizing overs from spinners.

 

[DeadBall]

Wonder if people have to sign the cringe worthy dancing clause to appear in the VIP box.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Effortless by Ronchi followed by a

 

[Fahdi]

Ronchi is in ridiculous form.

 

[Kashmirilion]

People give the example of hogg playing till 40+ but hogg was contributing what the hell does misbah contribute pure stupid from pcb and pure selfish from the so called Peoples champ

 

[zacattakk]

MS should give Shan a go at opening seeing the form he is in. Shehzad just puts unnecessary pressure on the other batsman.

I'm surprised they are sticking with Shehzad. His strike rate for the tournament is an abysmal 88!!
Surely anyone can do better than that, even Shan (especially given his recent domestic form).

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another by Ronchi followed by another

Nice to see Zulfi chacha in the crowd

 

[Khan12]

People give the example of hogg playing till 40+ but hogg was contributing what the hell does misbah contribute pure stupid from pcb and pure selfish from the so called Peoples champ

Don't say a bad word about misbah who is the greatest captain we have produced. He can play till 50 if he wants.

 

[emranabbas]

Ronchi needs to go ASAP

 

[zacattakk]

Ronchi is in amazing form! Timing everything!!

 

[Fahdi]

This has got to be some of the most effortless hitting I have ever seen. Reminds me of Sanath Jayasuriya and a few innings of Sachin Tendulkar.

 

[haris93]

People give the example of hogg playing till 40+ but hogg was contributing what the hell does misbah contribute pure stupid from pcb and pure selfish from the so called Peoples champ

Why would PCB stop him being selected? Its all up to Franchise who they pick

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Direct hit and Duminy is

 

[Madplayer]

Haan bhai ronchi to acha khelega hi because i dropped him from my fantasy team

And again, duminy will fail because i selected him.

 

[Khan12]

Dummiy test knock comes to an end.

 

[DeadBall]

Duminy doing a Shehzad. If it were Hales the score would have been 15 runs more (if he didn't get out).

 

[Fahdi]

Unlucky Duminy.

 

[ManFan]

Duminy at 6(11) killing all the momentum.

 

[DRsohail]

blessing in disguise.

 

[Big Mac]

Ronchi is in amazing form! Timing everything!!

He's been smashing everything since they moved Duminy to the top of the order

 

[Syed1]

Haan bhai ronchi to acha khelega hi because i dropped him from my fantasy team

And again, duminy will fail because i selected him.

That was funny

 

[ManFan]

See what happens when you don't move around?

 

[Big Mac]

Duminy gone

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hales looks nervous against Tahir

Sweeps it for and fifty up for Islu

 

[Arham_PakFan]

And now he cuts it for another

 

[Syed1]

Get out of jail shot by Hales and it comes off....... barely

 

[Fahdi]

Shot by Hales.

 

[Hamza_]

JP useless Duminy.

 

[Syed1]

JP useless Duminy.

He had a 70 in the last match

 

[Syed1]

I want Gul to get the phainti of a lifetime

tw Guru Madplayer Aka Sir panoti apni Match ki prediction bhi bta dein

 

[emranabbas]

Gul is about to take a wicket

 

[Fahdi]

First mistimed shot from Ronchi

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ronchi is in probably the best form of his life.A big factor in IU’s success so far.And he’s also going to come to Pakistan for the qualifiers

 

[troodon]

Ronchi destroying every bowler here.

How is he not a regular in Kiwi ODI squad?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good over by Tahir,just the four from it.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ronchi destroying every bowler here.

How is he not a regular in Kiwi ODI squad?

Because he’s retired

 

[Justcrazy]

Ronchi should be recalled in the Kiwi side for the WC

 

[Fahdi]

There is some turn on offer. Should have gone with Zafar maybe.

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 1

8 overs . Islamabad need to try and get another 100 here

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fifty for Ronchi now,another excellent innings.

 

[srh]

Ronchi destroying every bowler here.

How is he not a regular in Kiwi ODI squad?

agree; he is lot better than some of the current Kiwi team players

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hales sweeps it for

 

[world cup captain]

People give the example of hogg playing till 40+ but hogg was contributing what the hell does misbah contribute pure stupid from pcb and pure selfish from the so called Peoples champ

I don't think he has lost a match this season as the captain.

Don't say a bad word about misbah who is the greatest captain we have produced. He can play till 50 if he wants.

Well said.

 

[haris93]

Gul is about to take a wicket

of himself?

 

[Big Mac]

I don't think he has lost a match this season as the captain.



Well said.

Islamabad lost the first or second match after he came back iirc

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good over for Islu,11 off it.

Hales off to a good start with 20 off 14 deliveries.

Islu 79 off 9 overs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lol,Ronchi has the 3 fastest fifties in PSL history.

And all of them came in the last 4 innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Lol,Ronchi has the 3 fastest fifties in PSL history.

And all of them came in the last 4 innings

Pakistan should offer him Citizenship .

 

[Syed1]

Lol,Ronchi has the 3 fastest fifties in PSL history.

And all of them came in the last 4 innings

Not history just this season

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Excellent fielding by Whiteley in the deep.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Not history just this season

Yes,my mistake.

 

[world cup captain]

Islamabad lost the first or second match after he came back iirc

Regardless, he has been great as a specialist captain. With such a strong squad, they can afford to do so.
