Wow what an amazing day today
It's my daughters birthday mashallah and we have a PSL final one top of that my team Lahore is the final ...would be a perfect day if Lahore wins Agaisnt Karachi the dream final indeed

However if Karachi do win I wouldn't be upset just because I know the players want to do it for deano

I do think match will be close but I fee it will be a low scoring affair

My feeling is that team that bats first won't put my a good total maybe 130-140ish max

Which would not be a good total however the team chasing will win but they will make it a tough chase due to final and pressure might just go to the 18th or 19th over

I think team batting second will win by 3-4 wickets remaining

That being said regardless of who bats first or second wheater it's a close game or blowout

Would love to see Lahore win , indeed that would be a story from never making it to the playoffs to winning the whole title

On the other hand if Karachi wins would be for deano which is a story in itself someone who loved the game and loved coaching in Pakistan and maybe could have been the head coach of national team

Only time will tell who wins tonight

One thing is for sure it will be a final to not miss

Good luck both teams

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Would love to see a good knock from Sohail Akhtar today. I would rather see him open the batting with Tamim and perhaps Fakhar comes one down or drop Fakhar for another bowler maybe

They have Faizan who is yet to do something.

 

[King_Kohli]

Babar Azam has scored the most runs (1179) in T20 cricket in 2020. He is also PSL 2020's highest run-getter.

 

[King_Kohli]

The surfaces so far in the playoff stages have been good for batting. Even though runs on the board are crucial in a final, teams might have to rethink with dew expected to play a part.

Fakhar is 3 or 4th highest run scorer in the tournament....

 

[Ummii]

Is Shaheen not playing?

 

[Tubs]

Is Shaheen not playing?

Toss hasn't happened yet I don't think, why do you ask that? If it was that abdominal problem he had, he came back afterwards and bowled 2 overs and seemed fine.

 

[MenInG]

LQ win toss and have elected to bat first

 

[Firebat]

Parnell dropped after one (terrible) game and Umaid Asif brought in - not even filling their max overseas spots.

 

[imshally81]

No delport...

 

[Rana]

Pace attack is so week in comparison to LQs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why can't they start the stream 10-15 mins before the game?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi have gone for Umaid and 3 foreign players

 

[ChTab]

IMO LQ's are favorite to win this they have decent openers with a good middle & lower order whereas Karachi's whole batting revolves around Babar & may be around Hales to some extent. In addition Qalandars have much better pace attack whereas Karachi only have Amir. If I was a gambling man I'd put my money on Qalandars to win this.

 

[watson367]

Should've bowled first

 

[Goooby]

No delport...

Is he not available? Like why iftikhar over delport?

 

[watson367]

Sharjeel has a punjabi dad bod.

 

[watson367]

tamim needs to fire today.

 

[Hasan123]

Left arm spin to 2 lefties ? Lol

 

[choudhary6964]

Lahore walyon das deo Karachi nu

 

[watson367]

shot tamim

 

[Tubs]

Can anyone please link me official YouTube streaming link?

[choudhary6964]

Give the phainty to Imad mediocre darter wasim

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good over Imad

 

[JattMaula]

https://youtu.be/t44zwa-NFDQ

Found it but thanks!

 

[Hasan123]

Amir will probably get Fakhar.

 

[KyoOne]

Stupid KK management. They will lose this match for playing Walton and Rutherford over Rizwan and Delport.

And dropping Parnel for Umaid was not necessarily required. Parnel can hit big and bowl at pace, something missing in KK bowling

 

[KyoOne]

https://youtu.be/t44zwa-NFDQ

For those in Pakistan, no youtube link?

 

[Rana]

That swing is there for Amir

 

[Rana]

Kharrak!!! 4 runs Fakhar

 

[watson367]

fixer starts off with a wide.

 

[imshally81]

Another wide

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar putting pressure on Amir. Good to see.

na Karachi all the way

 

[Rana]

Amir too wide

 

[Rana]

Amir giving too much width

 

[choudhary6964]

If amir goes for runs here Karachi doesn't stand a chance

 

[Rana]

That one that comes in. Very good ball Amir

 

[Rana]

Tamim is looking extremely loose here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir lol

 

[Rana]

Amir still way too wide.

 

[watson367]

come on tamim, get a move on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Trundling in at 130-133kph

 

[Hasan123]

Good ball from Amir.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

134kph gold

 

[Rana]

World class delivery to finish up

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Amir...

 

[Hasan123]

Interested to see if Imad will save Amir overs for the middle order of LQ or bowl him another 1 to try and get a wicket.

 

[choudhary6964]

Tamim Iqbal is not a good T20 batsman

 

[Rana]

Very juicy bowling attack for Weise later on in the innings

 

[Rana]

That wide by Maqsood.

 

[watson367]

Missing chris lynn

 

[choudhary6964]

Here comes another trundler Waqas maqsood

 

[imshally81]

2 overs... 3 wides.... Waseem bhai impact

 

[Syed1]

Need wicket early.


What's with all these wides

 

[watson367]

Need wicket early.


What's with all these wides

what do you expect when a fixer is the leader of your bowling attack?

 

[Rana]

Vicky Mack adjusting is line here

 

[Syed1]

Kisi se bhi haar jatay leken Lahore se nahi harna lol


LQ off to good start

 

[Rana]

Tamim treating Maqsood like Michael Holding

 

[Hasan123]

Aqib Javed maybe coach, Sohail Akthar maybe the captain. But I'm sure Hafeez is having a big say in how LQ go about things on the field. His cricketing IQ is much higher than Aqib and Sohail Akthar.

 

[Syed1]

Tamim treating Maqsood like Michael Holding

Sun should have set on Tamim's PSL career by now. I cannot remember any good innings from him.

 

[Rana]

Alex Hales per check karte raho, this guy looks like he is day dreaming

 

[watson367]

Tamim looking pretty ordinary out there.

 

[imshally81]

Bad start by LQ

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good stuff so far

 

[choudhary6964]

Oh Yaar tut ke pe jao trundlers nu

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[Hasan123]

Lol Fakhar favourite shot.

 

[Rana]

Cheetah Fauji!

 

[Tubs]

For those in Pakistan, no youtube link?

bsports.pk is what they said on the broadcast I think.

 

[watson367]

i can find better openers in doongi ground model town

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries... .

 

[Syed1]

Amir yaar boy itni umeedien thi tugh se

 

[Rana]

Is that the CA dragon??

Its on

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar definitely getting the better of "big game player" Amir.

 

[choudhary6964]

Beautiful shots by fakhar

 

[Rana]

Well doe Fakhar Zaman for returning to the CA 1500 plus

He was never the same player since he got the Dragon

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Tamim aisay hi test match khel
