Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United | PSL 5 - 1st match | 20th February, 2020 | Islamabad innings

Sensible little knock from Faheem. He is good square of the wicket but needs to work on his straight and mid on, mid off region hitting
 
I dont want to take any credit away from husnain but his real test will be against genuine power hitters. Pakistani batsmen unfortunately can be just bullied by pace.
 
This is bad on Husnain. He should know this rule that you cannot change field on noball.
 
:)))

:)))

Amad goes first ball duck.

Our new SAVIOR youngsta beauty hyped up to the moon is gone first ball. Duck.

Bad for ISLU here though. :/
 
Excellent innings.

We need some more runs though

Hasnain has pretty much blocked the runs here. Not to get carried away here but if Faheem can have a bit of a batting resurgence that'll not only do IU a world of good but potentially Pakistan as well if he gets selected.
 
So either people are hyping some batting talent OR

they go quiet when asked for a batter who can punish bowlers.

Both can't happen simultaneously. Which one is it?

Want to see Ammad Butt come out with 5 overs to go and have a slog. This is his chance to confirm his name for the Wt20.


Sick and tired of people claiming we have so much talent.

Another hyped up talent, not a good start.

Won't say he is trash yet though. Needs more chances.
 
Poor decision by shadab to send himself instead of butt but excellent bowling by husnain

I agree. But most of our batters get rattled just by pace. You don't need skill to get them out or stop their scoring.
 
Give him a decent chance. I've seen Kohli and Smith get ducks too.

Yeah, he deserves some chances.

ISLU always picks quality young talent so I'm hoping he doesn't completely fail going forward.
 
Is Rumman Raees or Zafar Gohar injured? I don't see the point of playing Amad Butt at no. 9. You are better off playing a specialist bowler.

They just need to pick which bowlers to target and have a go. If you can't score against the pacers rotate strike at least, and go after the slower bowlers. Regarding Faheem, if he could at least do that you'd get more out of him as a batsman.
