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

[Arham_PakFan]

Good total by Islamabad.I doubt that MS will chase this

 

[Fahdi]

Friend can hit a few - credit where credit due

Pretty good at hitting the length stuff. Struggles against a decent short delivery. Also not the smartest, got 10 off 2 balls and didn't have the awareness to just stroke the ball around, instead he wasted what could have been a big over.

 

[Titan24]

with so many wickets in hand and such a good pitch they have scored at least 30 runs less.

That could have been the case if Hales or Ronchi would have been on the crease but Talat and Asif both had a lot to play first for considering it could have can be a big turning point in career

 

[DeadBall]

Don't think MS are winning this one.

 

[Syed1]

Don't think MS are winning this one.

Badar to get a 40 odd.... you heard it here first

17(13) terrible

 

[DeadBall]

I think Junaid isn't that effective without Amir and vie versa. The both compliment each other but usually not that great on their own.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Shezzy to make a blistering 90.

 

[Anchorman]

I'm not a big fan but if Shehzad fails tonight, surely Multan should try Shan Masood in the next game. If I was in the management, I would've got him in the team 2 games ago.

I really thought Masood would've been used more. Was coming in to the tournament on the back of brilliant performances and in red-hot form. Shame.

 

[DeadBall]

Badar to get a 40 odd.... you heard it here first

Would be great if he did. However I don't see them winning this one unless Sanga, SOhaib and Shoaib click, with a Pollard cameo towards the end.

 

[DeadBall]

Shezzy to make a blistering 90.

I don't think there are 150 balls in T20.

 

[babajee]

I think Junaid isn't that effective without Amir and vie versa. The both compliment each other but usually not that great on their own.

Junaid has always been hit or miss in T20

 

[Madplayer]

Darren Ganga just said Shehzad is only 23 years of age :

 

[Justcrazy]

Patel to open the bowling here.

 

[emranabbas]

Ahmed shehzad 23??

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Shehzad looks determined. Look at that stare into the pitch. Islamabad should be wary.

 

[Titan24]

Poor shot from Sanga

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad looks determined. Look at that stare into the pitch. Islamabad should be wary.

Shahid afridi lost his heart shaped locket on that pitch the other night.

 

[DeadBall]

Samit Warne at it again.

 

[emranabbas]

Shehzad looks determined. Look at that stare into the pitch. Islamabad should be wary.

Aiming for actor of the year award 2018

 

[world cup captain]

Match looks to be over already. Only a fluke can save Multan.

 

[Titan24]

Saif missed the oppurtunity

 

[Madplayer]

Saif Badar

 

[Justcrazy]

sanga gone

 

[Anchorman]

Badar to get a 40 odd.... you heard it here first

I bet you wish we hadn't heard that now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pate on fire.Gets Sanga and Badar in 2 balls.

Poor Badar.Sent at 3 and out first ball

 

[DeadBall]

Nvm.

 

[Madplayer]

This is going to set his career back a lot. Unless he is given another chance in next match.

 

[Syed1]

Badar

 

[Justcrazy]

saif gone too

 

[Chief Destroyer]

What the hell is with this random a-- send up the order? It doesn't help the batsman when he hasn't played at all.

 

[Big Mac]

Badar was so desperate for Shezhad to give him any reason to review

Samit doing it for the big guys

 

[world cup captain]

Master stroke from Misbah but now the match is a bore fest...

 

[Khan12]

Played across the line.

 

[Madplayer]

Hatrick ball smashed for by Sohaib Maqsood.

 

[Railu Katta]

PP darling out on a golden duck. He needs another year.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Maqsood smashes a four on the hattrick ball

 

[Titan24]

Maqsood, Pollard and Malik are th key if Multan is even to come close

 

[Khan12]

What the hell is with this random a-- send up the order? It doesn't help the batsman when he hasn't played at all.

Exactly.

 

[Syed1]

Badar may have played his last match of PSL

 

[Rayyman]

What the hell is with this random a-- send up the order? It doesn't help the batsman when he hasn't played at all.

He has had the worst scenarios possible. Now send at #3 after a quick wicket chasing 185. Oldies hiding down the order as always.

 

[letme alone]

badar sahib gay

 

[Madplayer]

Sohaib maqsood might play a freakish innings today

 

[babajee]

I think Saif’s confidence will now be the lowest it has ever been in his life.

Either he will bounce back or sink further and forget cricket.

 

[Syed1]

I think Saif’s confidence will now be the lowest it has ever been in his life.

Either he will bounce back or sink further and forget cricket.

The latter seems to be happening

 

[Rayyman]

Shehzad with a hundred I'm calling it here

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Whatever, I guess. As much as we want him to do well, Saif has to prove himself in domestic. It's gonna be a long process. He just doesn't have the experience to construct an innings right now.

 

[haris93]

This is going to set his career back a lot. Unless he is given another chance in next match.

IFFFFF they qualify for playoff which looks very unlikely

 

[Madplayer]

The latter seems to be happening

After every match the same thing is said. "Either he will swim or sink". When can we declare that he is already sinking?

 

[Rayyman]

Whatever, I guess. As much as we want him to do well, Saif has to prove himself in domestic. It's gonna be a long process. He just doesn't have the experience to construct an innings right now.

You know if Amad Butt is any good?

 

[haris93]

Shehzad with a hundred I'm calling it here

You wanna get trolled by us?

 

[Justcrazy]

10.2

2 overs

 

[AFM]

Darren Ganga just tried to praise Sami.

"Mohammad Sami, he's played 36 Test matches for Pakistan" *looks at avg* *shuts up*

 

[Madplayer]

IFFFFF they qualify for playoff which looks very unlikely

I know. This guy saif has a lot of ready made ingredients. For Pakistan's sake i hope he succeeds.

 

[Madplayer]

The writing is on the wall. Maqsood looking great already.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maqsood is the key here

 

[babajee]

I want Maqsood to play a big knock but Shadab and Faheem to bowl well

 

[MRSN]

Shezad is already getting tired

 

[world cup captain]

Shehzad with a hundred I'm calling it here

100 runs or a 100 strike rate? Either will be an achievement.

 

[badsha001]

he just called Sami -> "Darren Sammy" ***

 

[MRSN]

I want Maqsood to play a big knock but Shadab and Faheem to bowl well

I want Shezad and Malik to score centuries and Isb to win

 

[ManFan]

Would be great to see Talat score a century in the Final.

 

[Mercurial]

If Multan wins, then we are almost out of PSL

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Would've been great if young Sami had the intelligence of this one.

 

[world cup captain]

If Multan wins, then we are almost out of PSL

Multan isn't winning this. Case closed.

 

[imshally81]

If Multan wins, then we are almost out of PSL

Peshawar?

 

[DeadBall]

These 3 runs by Shehzad would be akin to 30 on any other pitch.

 

[Mercurial]

Peshawar?

Yup.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

put multan out of misery
get this joker out

 

[imshally81]

 

[Madplayer]

Would've been great if young Sami had the intelligence of this one.

He still doesnt have the nerves though. Never did.

 

[babajee]

Klusener gets Kohli :

 

[Titan24]

What a poor shot from Shehzad! Really disappointing

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

thank god

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Rana does the trick.Shehzad gone after a legendary innings of 3(10)

 

[MRSN]

what a garbage player lol

 

[Madplayer]

My my, look who just got out. Multan's chances of winning just went up.

 

[Justcrazy]

20 . 3

 

[emranabbas]

Poor shot by Shehzad kholi

 

[Chief Destroyer]

He still doesnt have the nerves though. Never did.

I don't know about that. He's done pretty well over the last 2-3 years. Looks a different person. Mentally tough.
