PSL 2018 Match 8: Karachi Kings beat hapless Lahore Qalandars by 27 runs to remain top of the table

[The cricket enthusiast]

where is that legside hack awais zia?
he had some swag better to watch him than boring torturous batting of rizwan maqsood shehzad

 

[Plumb]

Sohail khan missed his 50

 

[Syed1]

Uff Allah this guy is soooo baqwas

 

[Fahdi]

Lahore's biggest worry is themselves. They start well and then self implode.

 

[Plumb]

Irfan chewed up 10 balls..seriously???

 

[Syed1]

Tukka six by baqwas player

 

[dauntless]

Very poor bowling by sohail chacha should not be played again

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Uff Allah this guy is soooo baqwas

He just smoked a six

 

[Syed1]

Thankfully the baqwas player is off strike

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Very poor death bowling.

 

[DeadBall]

Even tailenders giving Shaheen a phainty.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Mcullum doesn't look interested or shows any passion, unless he is like that as a person.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Mcullum doesn't look interested or shows any passion, unless he is like that as a person.

I feel the same

 

[Plumb]

comon RB get your fifty

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Mcullum field sets are v poor and pathetic.

 

[dauntless]

No you can't bowl here in the death overs

 

[babajee]

McCullum is a nice guy... just letting these Karachites feel like they’re in the game.

 

[Syed1]

Too much for LQ.... bye bye... have a safe flight home.

 

[Plumb]

Last game for Shaheen his psl is done

 

[Mercurial]

Shaheen shouldn't have been rushed into T20 cricket, looks ordinary in this format.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Very Poor death bowling !

 

[MABA]

160 to win, I think the score is enought for the calendars

 

[Plumb]

Awesome Ravi!!!! just awesome

 

[dauntless]

Chase able total no need to panic

 

[lahoriyah1234]

KK scored 10 runs extra here. Hopefully Umar can perform i keep saying as he can win this game.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Should’ve restricted them to 140 Max.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Absolutely fantastic knock by Bopara, probably second best knock this season after Talat's.

 

[DeadBall]

Will LQ be out of the tourney if they lose? Its only their 3rd match I think.

 

[Titan24]

Last game for Shaheen his psl is done

He will improve but I guess its better to give him a break and unleash Salman Irshad (Now is the time to unleash the beast)

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Shaheen shouldn't have been rushed into T20 cricket, looks ordinary in this format.

Shaheed should have been bowled out and not bowl at the death overs. Poor Captaini.

 

[babajee]

We will lose if Fakhar doesn’t open.

 

[Titan24]

Shaheed should have been bowled out and not bowl at the death overs. Poor Captaini.

Or may be he wants he to develop as bowling at the death teaches you a lot

 

[Sirris]

KK did well. Qalandars must be feeling the the heat now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lahore Qalandars cost themselves 64 runs off the last five overs and possibly the game ) )

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Lahore should Send Sohail Khan 1 down to reduce the run rate.

 

[srh]

Rizwan should come after Afridi at #8; only reason I would play him is because he is a WK

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Lahore Qalandars cost themselves 64 runs off the last five overs and possibly the game ) )

That pathetic bowling in the last 3 overs.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Lahore Qalandars cost themselves 64 runs off the last five overs and possibly the game ) )

Fantastic displays of Choking masterclass by LQ in almost every match

 

[badsha001]

Too much for LQ.... bye bye... have a safe flight home.

They shouldn't even bother to bat, just forfit and focus for next year PSL...

 

[Mercurial]

We will lose if Fakhar doesn’t open.

Fakhar is not that good in T20 cricket anyways. Sohail Akhtar is the real deal.

 

[BlueDoritos]

LQ should contact this Prem Jyotish

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hopefully Lahore chases this. So embarrassing if they lose this one as well.

 

[Abdul]

Let's go Karachi.

 

[babajee]

Fakhar is not that good in T20 cricket anyways. Sohail Akhtar is the real deal.

Did you see him in NZ did you see him in the first match did you see him last PSL?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fakhar is not that good in T20 cricket anyways. Sohail Akhtar is the real deal.

We can win this if we get a good opening stand even 40 in first 6 overs with 1 down we have a decent chance, but again how chota akmal plays will depend the outcome of this game, we have to win this.

 

[Executioner]

Needs to put some meat on he's so skinny.

He was Skinniet before

 

[babajee]

Let’s see what Umar can do with his Babar bat

 

[Titan24]

Shinwari in wickets again

 

[Executioner]

Yeah I am not sure why have fizz or Narine two of the best final over bowlers when you gonna bowl them out early

 

[babajee]

Usman is a special talent wowwww

PPers wrote him off based on one match

 

[Syed1]

Ro Lahore Ro

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT WE NEED TO KICK MCULLUM OUT OF THIS TEAM AND REPLACE A BETTER CAPTAIN, he clearly playing for Money and not with any great interest of the game or for the PCB.

Give Captaincy to Fakhar and let him lead the team.

 

[MMHS]

Didn't see the game today, but one has to blame Buzz today. Neither Sohail or Shaheen are death bowlers and he gave them last 3, finishing Mustafiz inside 16/17 overs!!!!. Ideally, should bowl out Shaheen by 15th and 3 overs of first 6 by Sohail.

 

[dauntless]

Chal paii! Ek te gya! Not looking good

 

[Syed1]

Yeah I am not sure why have fizz or Narine two of the best final over bowlers when you gonna bowl them out early

Both were threatening and were picking up wickets so over-aggressive Bazzer went for the kill and hurt himself.

 

[badsha001]

Fakhar is opening anyways

 

[Syed1]

I want Lahore to lose but Fakhar to do well


#Bilal7 logic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

) )

Why even bother with Narine when you have Fakhar an opener in the side?

0.2 Is that edged? Narine goes for a golden duck. Good length on off stump and Narine backs away to slap this to cover. Goes for a big heave and the ball takes the outside edge. The pinch-hit tactic does not work out tonight 1/1

 

[babajee]

Waiting to see Amir and Usman open the bowling inshallah.

 

[Mercurial]

This emerging player stipulation, 4 overseas player per XI rule, etc, must be abolished. Play as many overseas players you want to, there shouldn't be any restrictions.

 

[Titan24]

Guys writing of Shaheen I guess are little to early to make their decision. He has pace, he has height just looks nervous, we will come to know in 2,3 years time where he stands.

Though I guess it would be justified to give him a break and give Salman Irshad the oppurtunity

 

[BlueDoritos]

No holding back for Fakhar

 

[dauntless]

Rukna te sikhya ni

Remember this is the same management that made Azhar the captain of a T20 team.

 

[Titan24]

Inshallah with both in full strength and form

 

[Mercurial]

PCB must be sued for such a rubbish pitch. The pitch should be flattened even more, the grass should be removed from it with Gillette Mach 5. We need high scoring games. At least don't kill the entertainment factor.

 

[badsha001]

Where is Rashid Latif? Isn't he a karachi kings director?

 

[Mercurial]

Rizwan has been ordinary in majority of his televised games, with the bat. But can't drop him as he is such a reliable WK, fantastic to watch.

 

[Titan24]

IPL will miss Tymal Mills, guy generates some serious pace and has got an impressive slow ball

 

[Mercurial]

Did you see him in NZ did you see him in the first match did you see him last PSL?

Average of 26 doesn't inspire much confidence.

 

[MABA]

Tymal Mills is garbage, how he gets these league contracts is out of my understanding

 

[babajee]

Average of 26 doesn't inspire much confidence.

That’s normal for most T20 openers.

They are hit or miss

 

[Titan24]

Tymal Mills is garbage, how he gets these league contracts is out of my understanding

He was one lf the highest paid in IPL last year and didn’t even got a contract this year

 

[Mercurial]

That’s normal for most T20 openers.

They are hit or miss

Yes, you are right too.

 

[Titan24]

IPL will miss Tymal Mills, guy generates some serious pace and has got an impressive slow ball

I think bcz he can be extremely erratic, its like him and Wahab are twin brothers

 

[Mercurial]

Such a boring pitch and outfield for T20 cricket.

 

[Titan24]

All the biggest hitters like Gayle and McCullum have struggled big time in PSL, I guess Lynn would have struggled too.

 

[Sirris]

Hoping for a good Fakhar knock.

 

[CanadianG00se]

IPL will miss Tymal Mills, guy generates some serious pace and has got an impressive slow ball

He is useless as it gets, thankfully IPL franchises realized that after paying him Million dollars last season. He is no Starc.

 

[Executioner]

Baz captaincy been poor.

You play to your strengths and weaknesses, not go for jugular.
