PSL 2020 l Karachi Kings v Lahore Qalandars | Karachi | Final | 17 November | Lahore innings

There’s a reason Imad is a gun player in this format. Of course, people who live in la la land won’t realize how valuable he is for a team with our talent pool
 
Hafeez bottling under preassure, something will never change
 
Match is not very exciting so far. Kind of dull, except for the very interesting celebration by Umaid.
 
I don't like either team but I really dislike Karachi. So please win Lahore and shut those Karachi boys up.
 
Might be a Lahore v Karachi final but I see it as a Lahore v Lahore final. Babar Azam ~ Karachi Kings.

Replace Babar with the likes of Sarfraz and Asad Shafiq and then you'll see the "Kings" of Karachi.
 
Ben dunks record in this tournament against left arm spinners is nightmarish
 
All criticism intact (I actually wrote that LLQ missed a trick by not picking Liton instead of Tamim, better keeper than Dunk as well), I think the wicket is extremely slow and may be a bit double paced. One thing for sure if Tamim struggles to time it, hardly anyone in world will find it easier to time the shot.

PAK's age old scare of chasing is exposed here - for a 8PM start in late November, on a sluggish track, in a T20, only a PAK team can opt for chasing. This wicket will get faster and better after dew - not necessarily KK will win as another PAK team will chase it, but logic says LQ should have bowled first here.

Abhi Boss Babar aye ga.
 
Karachi batting isnt that hot either so lets watch and see if LQ get past 140
 
Damn Chadwick Walton sounds awful with the stump mic turned up - can't understand anything :-)
 
Anyone surprised by Hafeez failing ? Only really ever does well when the team is on top . Mental midget . Has done this countless times in t20 world cups and we still want him again to go to another World Cup . As 5 failed world cups are not enough for us .

You can not see at this that way. Babar is playing for Karachi now, so he is a Karachi-man today.

Agreed man, This guy is the natural captain of Pakistan in this format

The likes of Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz won the last PSl trophy didn't they? Sindh was also the runner up in the National T20 while Central Punjab couldn't make it to the next round.

Karachi would do just fine in an actual Lahore vs Karachi Match.
 
[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION] I agree with you often but your logic here is extremely flawed. This is franchise cricket. It’s purely about the name of the team. How many of Lahore’s bowlers are actually from Lahore? Their captain isn’t from Lahore. Hafeez isn’t from Lahore.

Bad news for Pakistan is that there are two back to back t20 wcs. Prof may play both.
 
If Lahore can make 140+ and given the slow pitch, they will have a good chance to win. Also, Karachi is over reliant on Babar. If he falls early, then the match can become very difficult for them.
 
This is boring. [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] agreed if tamim can not time it then no one can. Forget about these comments.

The wicket also doesn't suit him - he is a touch player .... I actually wrote that Tamim is struggling to time it on this track, before even Hafeez started to bat. These are similar tracks where SRL reserves got PAK 0-3 at home and some unknown leggi won MoS. Unless the dew flattens the wicket, Babar will also struggle here. It's not a wicket for top hand players - trust me Iftekhar & Sohail Akhter might out do here any batsmen.
 
Babar is a fantastic player, brilliant driver ... but he doesn't time it better than Tamim or Hafeez.
Babar is a better timer of the ball than tamin.
Tamim today wasnt even trying to time anything. Kept swinging and missing.

Adding to this only one player(babar) is from lahore/Karachi .all other in final from different cities

Not only is it flawed, it also doesn't make sense lol. This is what happened when the actual Karachi vs Lahore teams faced.

22.29 average in 22 innings with 105 SR Disgusting

Let’s wait for Babar and Hales to bat on this track as well. Especially with the extra pace coming on to the bat

The fact of the matter is Karachi Kings have been carried by a Lahori. At least the captain of LQ and Hafeez are relatively local to Lahore as they are Punjabis.
 
Don't question the pitch till both teams have batted. I for one KK bowled well and bad balls were minimal.

Tamim didnt even try and time it today.
Kept swinging hard and missing.
