PSL 2018 Match 27: Peshawar Zalmi thrash Karachi Kings by 44 runs to keep qualification hopes alive

If Karachi lose heavily today and against United they can go out and Multan through?

Babar should always be opening.

Ideally, Babar & FZ as opener, Sarfraz at 4 - rest should adjust accordingly. May be Maqsood at 3, Talat at 5 & Aga at 6. If Amin plays, should be in top at 3, otherwise back-up.

Not going to happen. Babar has 7 centuries at #3.
 
It might end up as LQ missing out for that one wash-out game!!!! They are not only the most unorganized team, most unlucky as well - whatever I have seen, can't recall a single close call going in their favor and they, found some way to screw themselves; like the FZ 1st ball LBW one.

Could be possible I think if PZ win their next match too, However KK is far ahead of MS in NRR.

Harris is much better player of new ball than anybody else ATM including Babar. He plays late and have shots to go run a ball in power play against express pace. Although both Harris and Babar are mediocre from international standards, they are no match to top 4 one down/opener options. Only Fakhir and Sharjeel can meet the requirements of modern one day batsman.

Not in T20.

One astonishing fact is that MOST people consider T20 & ODI similar game, which can't be more wrong.

Apart for limited overs, both are completely separate game and in few years time, you'll see more common players between ODI/Test than ODI/T20.

Even now, if you carefully take a look between the team ranking positions between Test, ODI & T20 (not points, just by position, like IND 1, 1, 4 - PAK 7,6,1, AUS probably 4,4,2 ...) correlation between Test, ODI & T20 (As of last week)

Test - ODI : 0.904824041
Test - T20I : 0.573196616
ODI - T20I : 0.543589419

That's remarkably similar between Test & ODI - which indicates, T20 strategy & combination should be completely separate. In fact, I wrote it many times - don't mind Wahab & Irfaaaan in T20, just one example.
 
Mr. Bobby slowing down for his fifty Alhumdulilah
 
KK should now just try to score as much as possible to not let the NRR drop too much. Get to 150 at least.
 
Babar was going at 1560 at one point but the rest of the batsmen have been abysmal. Nobody has managed a SR of even 100
 
"Sameen Gul to Babar Azam, 1 run, low full toss, begging to be hit. Azam plays safe, clips it along the carpet to deep square leg"



Why take a risk when a meaningless fifty is there for the taking
 
wow sameen gul not showing much brains... pitches to afridi in the same zone for three brutal 6's.... afridi might give him a kiss for that....

IDK I don't follow IPL


I'm just saying what I see.... he was smashing it to all parts and now doing tuk tuk single double now that he is nearing a fifty.
 
What kind of bowling was that he bowled the exact same 3 deliveries!? Didnt he learn after the first six!
 
1 more single required for fifty.... 10 bucks he will sky one soon after
 
Boom Boom first man to hit 4 sixes in 4 balls in PSL history

Hari isn't a T20 player - try to make him into one; he'll lose everything. Besides, guy is so unfit & fragile that PAK should try to utilize what ever few years left in his keens to cash on Test and ODI, particularly in next WC, when at 30-31, he should be at his prime; on top of that he is a lefti in middle order.

My post was for T20. For ODI, Babar is doing fine at 3 - keep him there. Hari at 4, Sarfraz at 5 and Talat at 6. Opening pair should be a left right combo, one of them is FZ - so, Hari shouldn't bat as opener neither Amin (who should be back-up); rather they should try one new opener (may be Maqsood). Asad is opening in List A these days and he is doing exceptionally well, but still not sure - I don't see any other opener.

Another option can be to open with Babar (In ODI) and put Hari/Saud at 3/4 or 4/3. But, these are useless discussion - unless Ul Haq is sacked, PAK's WC team will have MoHa at 4, Malik at 5 and one of Shehzad, Azhar or Imam as opener (And another one as back-up).

This Ul Haq guy is the worst personality for such management roles like Captain, CS - but, guy has havens blessings; he always gets support which covers up for him. It was Imran who brought him and straight put him at 3; otherwise he would have been lost in a year or 2; Imran even tried to bowl with him. He was among the most unfit cricketers ever with the worst possible attitude to work ethics - still guy played for 20 years at highest level because of God gifted natural talent, and what a player he was despite huffing & puffing like a Asthma patient for whole life.

He was among the dumbest Captains I have seen, with hardly any effort to improve his game sense or his English - still he led for 4 years quite dominantly, because he had the best cricket mind around to support him from behind - Bob Woolmer. Now, he is among the worst CS I have seen from PAK in many years which includes I Qasim - STILL, his squad won the CT, because of another blessing that covered for him - Mickey Arthur & credit goes to Sarfraz as well (Put a combo of Ul Haq, WY & Azhar Ali - you would have seen what is called cricket circus ...)

Ul Haq, might get away with next time as well on the shoulders of Arthur & Sarfraz, and that's the divine blessings for the religious man. Otherwise, .....
 
Hasan sledging Riz even before he got to the crease :))
 
Dawson showing Sameen where he should have bowled after getting hit for a 6 on the leg.
 
Brainless from Afridi. No need for that slog to get out. He could have stayed without exposing his stumps and swatted that for a four or a single.

KK has no chance now.
 
Mubarak ho bhai... 50(41).... what a beautiful innings
 
I think they dropped Lendl despite his 50 in the last match for denying that run to Afridi in the super over.
 
Babar SR dropped from 160 to 120 just to get to fifty.... wow
 
Kohli's breakout innings was the 100 in Hobart. Secured an impossible chase for India.

Is this Bobby's moment?

They also needed to fit in the 'captain' who is here for 2 games as he can't travel to Pakistan due to a :quote: 'long winter'.
 
Another useless, impactless knock from Babar in a chase.
