Quetta Gladiators (253/8) bow out of PSL 8 after a 9-run loss to Multan Sultans (262/3) in Match 28

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

200 up for Multan in only 14 overs !

 

[NeVerMind]

10 overs 157 runs.. it is like Hong Kong Sixes.

More like Brian Lara's Cricket on Playstation!

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Multan lose there third wicket.

 

[Rana]

slow innings

 

[MenInG]

So guys - prediction - what score will MS get to?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Bring Usman Khan into the the National T20 Fold ASAP.

 

[Champ_Pal]

QG pulled it back a bit. 270 should be the target to feel comfortable. If Roy gets stuck, that will be chased too.

 

[reversehook]

give qais one more over so he can squash usmand fastest 100 record right here right now...

 

[Champ_Pal]

Qais is a relieved man. He somehow completed his 4 overs and stayed under 80 runs.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Back in 2007 T20 WC, SL smashed Kenya for around 260+ runs..

[reversehook]

Bring Usman Khan into the the National T20 Fold ASAP.

parchi shan k saath nainsaafi ho gi...

 

[volcyz]

Pollard is terrible, so past it.

 

[Champ_Pal]

NaveenulHaq reminds me of Bhuvi Kumar. The bowling action and the mannerisms are quite similar.

 

[NeVerMind]

2 runs off that over with both Pollard and David struggling against Naveen

 

[Asif321]

Wow 2 of that over . Miracle

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pollard is terrible, so past it.

He realized he is done and hence now a batting coach with Mumbai Indians. But PSL still picked him as a player. Perhaps to improve the brand name.

 

[MenInG]

First innings power play highlights

[boomboomcheema]

Great comeback by the bowling team in the second half of the innings. Quetta favorites now with Roy.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The final should be played in pindi

 

[Champ_Pal]

Multan should look to score 50 runs in the final 3 overs. They have the men to do it with Pollard and David at the crease.

 

[Justcrazy]

234 . 3

16 balls to go.

 

[Kianig89]

This is definitely not cricket its bowlers at the mercy of batsman

 

[PakPremi]

Should not Doull's big boy playing at 350 strike rate after the start they came in.

 

[Justcrazy]

255 is on cards here

 

[boomboomcheema]

Match winning bowling by Naveen ul Haq.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Really poor finish by MS.

 

[NeVerMind]

Really poor finish by MS.

Even Riz was doing better than this...

 

[Justcrazy]

244 . 3

12 balls to go

Two big hitters on the crease.

 

[Justcrazy]

Quetta will be under big pressure right from first ball. The would need to play mad cricket

 

[Champ_Pal]

Finally Pollard connecting a few.

 

[Energy]

No Naseem Hasnain Sarfaraz for Quetta. Poor stuff. And a horrible bowling unit.

Usman Khan got dropped three times so let's not get carried away. However, I would love to see him, Saim Haris Abdullah Ihsanullah all being drafted into the team in the Afghanistan series.

Babar Rizwan Fakhar Shaheen Haris Shadab all need to rest and focus now on the ODIs. If any of these guys are playing then the PCB management need to be slapped backhanded.

 

[Justcrazy]

Only 9 of last over , very good bowling at this juncture.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Usman Khan deserves a lot of credit. No one could match his hitting on this pitch. Everyone is trying, but failing to connect miserably.

 

[Kroll]

More like Brian Lara's Cricket on Playstation!

I had the old Brian Lara on the Sega, even on there I couldn't reach these scores.

 

[Asif321]

MS definetly wont lose this

 

[Asif321]

Good from aimal.

 

[Kroll]

Great comeback by the bowling team in the second half of the innings. Quetta favorites now with Roy.

Favourites with a score of 260? I don't think so.

 

[MenInG]

Should have been more

MS 262/3 (20) CRR: 13.1

 

[PakPremi]

Should not Doull's big boy playing at 350 strike rate after the start they came in.

 

[Champ_Pal]

262 can be chaseable. One batsman must get a century and another a 50 in quick time.

 

[Justcrazy]

263 is the target.

 

[boomboomcheema]

157-1 in 10 overs to 262/3 in 20 overs..Usman Khan was batting at another level .

 

[boomboomcheema]

On other normal pitches , this score would be an equivalent of 220 right or even less ? So certainly not out of the reach.

 

[Smbhayi]

Can Rizwan or Roussow hit another century too?

Have 2 batsmen from the same team ever scored a century in a T20 match?

It had happen long time back, was a big news back then..

 

[Pakhs]

Hard to tell who is playing well on this type of wicket.. People getting carried must know come T20 WC the wickets will be completely different.

 

[Pakhs]

Usman Khan deserves a lot of credit. No one could match his hitting on this pitch. Everyone is trying, but failing to connect miserably.

There is every chance this will be chased down. there is none who is struggling to hit.

 

[SamNJ]

Video game level stuff. Feel bad for bowlers.

 

[Asif321]

So QG are finally out .

 

[PakPremi]

Cannot see it being chased down, though big boys coming at the end could had scored better.

 

[Rana]

they need 150 in the first 10

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

To be honest that innings by Khan while amazing to watch is probably not indicative of his long term prospects with Pakistan.

A lot of the shots were pure slogs and better bowlers on better pitches will get him easily.

Hats off though. Was great to watch and good for him

 

[NeVerMind]

Roy on zero after playing 4 balls...feels so bizarre

 

[Asif321]

Anwar the hero

 

[NeVerMind]

Roy gone...and with that, the match...now let's see what Umar "Angoor" Akmal can do when the real pressure is on...

 

[Justcrazy]

16 . 1

2 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

when you chase such a big total , you have no option , you have to go after everything.

 

[reversehook]

Quetta sat hasnain and naseem, you would figure they could have given zahid a go to test him or as a consolidation... but stupid is what stupid does...

 

[gazza619]

Nawaz could be dumbest captain in PSL history

Either he is dumb or he has fixed the match with his stupid bowling changes

 

[MenInG]

they need 150 in the first 10

Think they need to score 263 in 10.3 for the nrr equation situation

 

[reversehook]

its the first one...

 

[reversehook]

Think they need to score 263 in 10.3 for the nrr equation situation

they should just focus on winning and hope pz mess up in their next game for nrr issues...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good pace by ehsanullah

 

[MenInG]

Loved Rizwan's reaction once he took the catch!

 

[Kroll]

Hafeez is ancient, should no longer be playing.

 

[Rana]

Let Umar Akmal have a go

 

[Asif321]

Hope this is last of hafeez akmal and Malik we see in PSL

 

[Kroll]

Out walks someone even more ancient than Hafeez, hahaha

 

[MenInG]

Let Umar Akmal have a go

Stupidity to hold him back - now Ifti come in - what is happening here?

 

[PakPremi]

To be honest that innings by Khan while amazing to watch is probably not indicative of his long term prospects with Pakistan.

A lot of the shots were pure slogs and better bowlers on better pitches will get him easily.

Hats off though. Was great to watch and good for him

That is case of most big hitters. He also scored a good 50 in his first game for Quetta.

 

[Cric1234]

Hope this is last of hafeez akmal and Malik we see in PSL

Akmal has one of the best strike rates in PSL he should be given more chances to play in future T20 domestic tournaments.

 

[Cric1234]

Iftikhar needs to not play one of those 20 of 20 balls today.

 

[Rana]

Iftikhar and Khushdil

in dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta

 

[Rana]

Iftikhar 13 off 11

 

[MenInG]

Iftikhar 13 off 11

I don't like Umar Akmal for various reasons but how he is being treated by QG is unacceptable.

He should have come in after fall of Roy. Instead he is sitting around watching Ifti consume balls he should have been playing.

 

[Rana]

What is Sana waffling on about? Rizwan was in the Pakistan team before he got into the KK team. He didnt make into the Pakistan team through his performances for Multan as she just claimed!

 

[PakPremi]

Did he start opening at PSl first though?

 

[MenInG]

What is Sana waffling on about? Rizwan was in the Pakistan team before he got into the KK team. He didnt make into the Pakistan team through his performances for Multan as she just claimed!

Think this is known as commentary in Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Did he start opening at PSl first though?

who cares. He was picked by Pakistan to bat in the middle and be better than Sarfaraz. He failed as a middle order player.

 

[MenInG]

Think Sana meant a regular in Pakistan side. Before that he was Sarf's understudy

 

[Rana]

Omair is decent. He was brilliant for Sindh too in the Pakistan cup
