PSL 8: Peshawar Zalmi (199/5) narrowly defeat Karachi Kings (197/5) by 2 runs to win Match 2

[shujaatraza]

Karachi Kings missing Babar Azam to stop the flow of wickets.

 

[Waleed93]

One fixer went for 10+ runs per over in his overs.

The other fixer goes for a golden duck.

He is supposed to replace Babar and Rizwan in the Pakistan T20I side.

 

[Cric1234]

Wade hitting shaheen for three sixes makes him a better batsman than Babar. I am laughing reading these gems.
Love how few posters name every Tom dick and harry to downplay Babar’s performances.

When was the last time Babar actually helped win a knockout in a tournament or a series decider for Pakistan in T20s I can’t remember any match a poor return for a so called great player.

 

[Gullycricket]

Will Imad ruin Haider at Kk.?

 

[zarak]

Now Haider Ali will make that face where he does not know how he got out.

 

[Ahmed216]

Out comes the loudmouth good for nothing captain. How dare he take digs at one of best batsmen in the game

2022 semis. Please shut up with your hate

They're coming up with every possible excuse to somehow make themselves feel better.

 

[zarak]

last world cup semi final. T20 tri series final in Newzealand. Both within the last six months.

 

[Stronguess]

Haider Ali needed a confidence inning, that luck isnt going to help his mental

 

[Cric1234]

Typical Haider having 2 young players at 3 and 4 is a tactically poor move.

 

[Gullycricket]

This is the aggressive cricket Imad talked about?

 

[Ashmal]

This is the aggressive cricket Imad talked about?

3 overs 42 runs conceded......that's pretty aggressive

 

[Waleed93]

You are basically Rana's sidekick, repeating whatever nonsense he says.

Why don't you show us the highlights of Sharjeel's 50 off 20 in this big chase on what was a flat pitch when PZ were batting ?

Oh, you just turned towards Umar Akmal now that the obese fixer has been proved as a fraud yet again.

 

[Rana]

Vince was available but didn’t play

 

[Gullycricket]

See it's easy to talk aggression and all in interviews. Reality is this

 

[m.shah]

What an average team kk is. All talk for nothing.

 

[Gullycricket]

3 overs 42 runs conceded......that's pretty aggressive

I see 7 overs 49. That's terrible.

 

[Cric1234]

2022 semis. Please shut up with your hate

That wasn’t Babar a soft 50 chasing a below par total the bowlers did all the work there try again.

Like to see you somehow make tailender stats in the last 2 tournaments look good go ahead or is that blind hate trying to analyse a players perdormance.

 

[hitthestump]

Karachi needed an anchor at the top )

 

[Ahmed216]

Lol don’t have to look too far back. Semi final of WC in Australia. Cricket is a team game u need a good 11 to reach knockouts consistently and win. How many tournaments has Kohli won with a world class team at his disposal?. Does that make him a bad player.
Anyways did I ask you to name Babar’s replacement?

 

[MHN1293]

What an average team kk is. All talk for nothing.

It's always been an avg team.the only exception being In 2020 due to covid multans hot momentum got broken off and then thanks to the bowlers and Babar they managed to win the trophy

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This match is a massive slap towards certain people

 

[Ashmal]

I see 7 overs 49. That's terrible.

I was talking about Imad's bowling figures

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Maybe it’s a flat pitch and we should wait until both teams have batted.

Thoughts now brother

Fake Rana now 50 becomes soft 50 lol

 

[Gullycricket]

I was talking about Imad's bowling figures

Oh . Got it now.

 

[Cric1234]

Thoughts now brother

Still a decent wicket a poor effort from the youngsters Haider and Qasim today.

 

[Gullycricket]

Pz weakness is their bowling. They need to draft Mujeeb

 

[ha5is12]

Alhamdulilah the team with honest and integral players is well on its way to prevailing

 

[Cric1234]

Fake Rana now 50 becomes soft 50 lol

Strike rates of 93 and 107 in the Asia Cup and World T20 averages worse than a tailender go ahead try and big up such poor stats.

 

[Ashmal]

Still a decent wicket a poor effort from the youngsters Haider and Qasim today.

Conveniently forgot Sharjeel

 

[Rana]

Sharjeel khan at short 3rd man

 

[zarak]

Why is Salman Irshad at backward point. Poor captaincy

 

[Rana]

Why is Malik playing like Babar does as on opener here?

 

[Cric1234]

Conveniently forgot Sharjeel

No he got out first ball not much can be said.

 

[Rana]

This Irshad guy is getting away with some rubbish bowling

 

[boomboomcheema]

12 RPO for the last 10 overs. Is it possible ?

 

[Rana]

Malik’s intent is terrible

He is waiting for spinners

 

[shariqnoor]

Even though I'm a Karachiite, I really hope KK ends up losing all 10 games. They are an obnoxious unit. Filled with toxicity from start to bottom.

Sharjeel, Malik, Imad, Amir - A brilliant amalgamation of spot fixers and toxic players

Then they have accumulated the TTFs - Haider Ali, Mir Hamza, Aamer Yamin.

To top it off their foreigners are all on the verge of retirements - Tye, Wade, Tahir,

Only one quality player in the entire squad - James Vince.

 

[Saj]

Why didn't KK pick James Vince today?

 

[Rana]

Imad might as well come in at 4 himself next time

 

[Rana]

Malik is just too casual right now

 

[topspin]

Imad might as well come in at 4 himself next time

Agreed. He's actually a decent batsman.

 

[Rana]

Keep going Maddy

 

[Blackbradman]

Gifting wickets to Trundler Neesham..

 

[Blackbradman]

Neesham 2-0-9-2..what a joke

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Neesham 2-0-9-2..what a joke

Because they had more match winners this time

 

[Cric1234]

The batting line up is wrong you can’t have 2 experienced batsmen after 2 younger ones.

 

[boomboomcheema]

If Karachi have to chase 60-65 in the last 5 overs they will have a good chance. Cant afford to lose another wickets before that equation.

 

[Ashmal]

PZ bowling is pretty weak.

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

As much as I love seeing Imad struggle, the umpire is having a mare here

 

[boomboomcheema]

21 runs off that over. Wow.

 

[Cric1234]

Malik

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Babar scoring at a good clip

Amir getting spanked

Mentality monster Imad getting decimated

Sharjeel getting a golden duck and Rana then claiming that’s better than a 40 ball 50(!!)

Babar using smart bowling changes to stop KK’s momentum.
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] and his cult (@topspin , [MENTION=145645]Cric1234[/MENTION] etc) in the mud

 

[heddie19]

When was the last time Babar actually helped win a knockout in a tournament or a series decider for Pakistan in T20s I can’t remember any match a poor return for a so called great player.

World cup Semi-Final 3 months ago.

 

[Ashmal]

Malik

Typical Malik inngs....feasting on spin and struggling to score against pace

 

[Ashmal]

Babar scoring at a good clip

Amir getting spanked

Mentality monster Imad getting decimated

Sharjeel getting a golden duck and Rana then claiming that’s better than a 40 ball 50(!!)

A night to remember....

 

[boomboomcheema]

12 RPO needed in last 6. Decent comeback by KK.

Imad Wasim batting better than Babar...

 

[Rana]

Babar has never played an innings like this even after playing the whole powerplay

 

[boomboomcheema]

Captains knock by Maddy .

 

[Saj]

KK need to look at the batting order.

Vince will obviously come into the XI but Qasim Akram at 4 is not too clever.

 

[Rana]

When has Babar ever scored 50 off 30 balls?

 

[topspin]

Babar needs to swallow his pride and bring Imad back to the team.

Imad has outbatted him. Brilliant 50.

 

[Cric1234]

Babar has never played an innings like this even after playing the whole powerplay

The irony getting outbatted by an all rounder epic egg on face stuff.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab irshad and khurram. Makes for a very poor fast bowling unit.

 

[Rana]

Imad the natural captain

 

[Saj]

61 off 30.

Could be close if these 2 stick around.

A bit of firepower still to come for KK.

 

[Rana]

What is Babar’s fastest 50? 35 balls?

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

When has Babar ever scored 50 off 30 balls?

He’s never been smashed for 42 of 3 overs either

 

[Ashmal]

Babar needs to swallow his pride and bring Imad back to the team.

Imad has outbatted him. Brilliant 50.

Conveniently forgetting his great spell earlier tonight 0/42 in 3 ovs.

 

[Rana]

He’s never been smashed for 42 of 3 overs either

Auqaat ho bowling karwane ki tab na?

 

[Saj]

Malik needs to up his strike-rate here.

Can't just rely on Imad.

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Imad the natural captain

Yep, so natural that he didn’t even bowl his full quota on a road. Leading from the front

 

[Rana]

Qasim Akram the match loser

He cost KK 15 runs and then his little rubbish innings losing momentum in the powerplay

 

[Ashmal]

Yep, so natural that he didn’t even bowl his full quota on a road. Leading from the front

Hiding behind the youngsters.

 

[Rana]

Wahab always have a 20+ Runs over in him

 

[Stronguess]

makes the rivalry even more spicy when both sides play with some substance

 

[topspin]

Conveniently forgetting his great spell earlier tonight 0/42 in 3 ovs.

Mate Imad makes the Pakistan side as a lower middle order player. His bowling is a bonus.
