Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi | PSL 2019 - Final | NSK | March 17, 2019 | Match Thread

[MenInG]

So the big day for 2019 PSL is here!


Quetta's chances to win the trophy for the first time could not be any better - they have the fulll compliment of their overseas players so really no excuses left.

For Peshawar, Darren Sammy's captaincy has been inspirational and they will expect nothing less than a victory.

The crowd will be loud and the stakes will be high.

3-0 to Quetta so far in PSL4, but there is a big question mark over Fawad's availability for QG.

Expect the crowd to get behind QG given the number of Karachi players they have.

Just Sarfaraz, Anwer Ali and Ahsan Ali in the squad are from Karachi if I am not wrong.

I believe there will be fan base for both teams in the stadium.

 

[Mueez]

Pumped up!!

Rooting for PZ today, but wouldn’t mind if QG win this time!

I can't believe i m going to miss the final. Hating india with more passion

Supporting peshawar and umar akmal

Quetta's management has close links with Karachi domestic cricket.

Sarfaraz is national team captain so that means a lot for his "homebase".

Hasnain is from Hyderabad.

TBH, QG have more links to Karachi than probably any other side (including Karachi Kings!) [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] and [MENTION=70365]Ahson8[/MENTION] your input please...

iok?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

In an ideal scenario Quetta owner Nadeem Omer should have bought Karachi Kings. Him and people like Azam Khan (who is with QG) are involved with Karachi domestic and club cricket scene for a long time for example Pakistan cricket club and Omer Associates teams.

Players like Sarfraz, Asad, Anwer, Saad Ali, Saud Shakeel, Fakhar Zaman and many more played their cricket in Pakistan cricket club Karachi.

This fake Salman Iqbal guy just bought the Karachi team due to big money and dont have any prior connections to cricket and doesnt seem to know much about cricket and karachi doemstic and club scene. I wont be surprsied if cricket nuts from Karachi who know about Nadeem Omer, Azam Khan etc and how much they did for Karachi support QG.

Thought that was a bit weird as well, but the crowd took it in good spirit to be fair.

Ibrar ul Haq singing nach Punjabi in Karachi

I guess he changed the word from Punjaban to Majajan after criticism initially when he launched the song the some years ago.

 

[srh]

Does this girl not have her own songs? Just singing Nazia Hassan songs

 

[Titan24]

Singing 'Disco Deewaane' from STOY movie (bollywood).

Dude its a song from Pakistani artist Nazia Hassan which was used in the movie.

Karachi has 3rd biggest punjabis population

 

[shokz1408]

Tbh they should have cancelled this opening ceremony, in light of the attacks, it seems in bad taste.

 

[MRSN]

Singing 'Disco Deewaane' from STOY movie (bollywood).

lol. It was originally sang by my favorite Nazia Hasan who was a Pakistani pop star. too bad she died early. She had a great voice and she could genuinely sing well.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Murad Ali Shah trying to take all the credit )

Ofcourse he is)

 

[srh]

Who is this guy?

 

[MRSN]

)) thoroughly unprofessional stuff from the host fakhre alam. They should hire better professional host next time.

 

[RehanG]

Singing 'Disco Deewaane' from STOY movie (bollywood).

Disco Deewaane was sung and released before you were even born, Bollywood copied it from Nazia Hassan.

Are Pakistanis not tired of Junoon group yet?

There are so many ptv sports apps. Which one to download?

What's the point of singing pre recorded songs and live acting instead of live singing?

Sorry but I dont think I am much impressed by the closing ceremony. Performances (singers) could hv been better.

Didn't expected this from junoon.

Was STOY a hit movie?

Sunday afternoon...no work. Flipping through channels and Hum Masala opened incidentally where they are showing closing ceremony. So no I have not planned it...lol.

 

[Greenstorm]

Total pura kar rahe hein saare. Last year's ceremony was much better. Missing string and that Hassan/Sammy dance Crowd bhi thanda hai.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Nope bro they showed few matches but today are showing some DPL.hate them a lot

Very impressive crowd.

Expecting Peshawar to win tonight. Hopefully it will be a nail biter, decided on the last ball of the match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nach Punjaban is national anthem of Pakistan..

It was nach majajan instead of punjaban that they put on because it is Karachi.

 

[MRSN]

Didn't expected this from junoon.

they should only invite singers who can sing live in such ceremonies otherwise it's pointless

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Their mics are terrible can barely make out watching on TV.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Something done live would have been really good rather than all this lip synching going on.

 

[Asif321]

Yaar start the match

 

[pakistani pride]

Hahaha everything fell in the right place.

 

[j_kazmi]

I think they should have done the opening ceremony an hour earlier. The match will probably end at 11-12 o’clock now. People need to go home, the PCB should’ve been considerate of this

 

[RobinJay]

If people wanted to hear prerecorded versions of these songs, they would have listened to them on YouTube in the comforts of their homes. Why even have these ceremonies and waste time and money when no one is going to actually perform.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Would have been a great example for solidarity if they didn’t do this show baazi and singing dancing crap. Pathetic stuff from PCB. So Angry right now.

Disco Deewane is originally Nazia Hasan's song who is a Pakistani artist.
BIG LOL.

 

[mak36]

Shane Watson genuinely seems caught up/invested. Nice to see.

 

[Green Patriot]

When is the match going to start?

 

[Hawkeye]

Sorry but I dont think I am much impressed by the closing ceremony. Performances (singers) could hv been better.

The ceremony quality was extremely cheap and low quality indeed.

Even though they had good singers like Aima.

But presentation pathetic.

 

[Omer2002]

not even toss yet i think its 3pm.uk time then

 

[j_kazmi]

They’re doing everything right now but play cricket.

Right now they’re showing people riding motorcycles.

Will Nabi Gul bat after Wahab again?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Shane Watson genuinely seems caught up/invested. Nice to see.

And other players too like Fawad.

Credit goes to QG management especially owner Nadeem Omer for creating a family environment.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

u dont say...

 

[Asif321]

Another performance

 

[Savak]

Looks like Imran Khan is not attending. Extremely gutted. He needed to be here

 

[Mueez]

I read somewhere PM IK will hand out the trophy, is that true?

 

[srh]

Army Chief is more popular than Prime Minister Imran Khan

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Looks like Imran Khan is not attending. Extremely gutted. He needed to be here

He has better things to do then to gain positive coverage for political purposes.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Dave Richardson also in attendance.

 

[srh]

Karachi what the hell is wrong with you? Start the damn match

 

[bilawal666]

This singer is totally lip syncing.

 

[Mueez]

DG ISPR is also attending today’s match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Some serious time wasting with that singing again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This singer is totally lip syncing.

Everyone did it

 

[srh]

Stop wasting time, you have a freaking closing ceremony already completed, dont redo, Karachi is overdoing it and pissing people off
