[Result] PPCL | PSL | Eliminator | Peshawar Zalmi [202/6] beat Karachi Kings [201/6] by 4 wickets

[Square Drive]

I should bat at 11.

But for real though, our #7 always comes into play anyway - need a batsman there! In hindsight, not picking a higher ranked bowling A/R may have just been a mistake

Don’t worry you will be knocked out in the next game so we can plan together )

Not if we get the burger boyz

 

[Square Drive]

No worries - knew a wicket was around the corner.

Still got 4 wickets left and need just over a run a ball. Usama isn't defending anything over 9 in his final over so just need to nudge it around against Smudger.

 

[Square Drive]

Oh wait nevermind he's bowled his quota. [MENTION=145909]Smudger[/MENTION] it is.

got this

Isloo rooting for KK 'cause they want an easy qualifier 2. Ain't happening broski

	The new batsman is maddgenius.
18.2	Smudger to maddgenius, 1, 70.55kph, He finds a fraction of turn off the surface. Excellent timing from maddgenius as he plays a backfoot defensive. One more
18.3	Smudger to Hasan Ali, 1, 64.84kph, Breaks away from just off the straight. H Ali plays it gently through the off side. Sloppy fielding results in an extra run
18.4	Smudger to maddgenius, 0, 68.33kph, Smudger gives this one some air. The straight one now. Defensive stroke. Maddgenius's technique had to be good to play that one. Not in the gap
18.5	Smudger to maddgenius, 0, 66.31kph, Gentle leggie turns into the batsman. Maddgenius on-drives but can't time it properly. Hit straight to the fielder at mid-on. No run
18.6	Smudger to maddgenius, 1, 73.54kph, That one goes on straight with the arm. Aggressive backfoot defensive from maddgenius. The batsmen only take one
A tad expensive from Smudger, but a decent outing for him today.
Smudger 2 / 26 in 4.0 overs, 0 maidens
End of over 19 (3 runs) Peshawar Zalmi 192 / 6 (RR: 10.11, RRR: 9.00)
Peshawar Zalmi requires 10 runs to win at 10.00 runs per over
maddgenius 2* (4b 0x4 0x6) Smudger 4-0-26-2 Hasan Ali 22 (16b 1x4 1x6) Usama Mir 3-0-36-2

Zalmi has got this though just a couple of wides and a boundary needed

Yikes okay 10 runs is a bit of a worry

Hasan is probably due to get out soon too dammit

19.2	Usama Mir to Hasan Ali, 2, 63.01kph, U Mir gives this one some air. Crunched through the off side. Well executed cover drive. H Ali pushes hard for two. Excellent running

Advantage KK. We haven't lost a wicket in a while so it's probably gonna happen now smh

Wides don't earn as much as runouts

Unless it's a super over :boult

Peshawar were the better team at the end of the day. Mad Dog G will hit this next ball for a boundary now

Jinx and anti-jinx battles going on.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Karachi were 2 runs too short.

 

[Square Drive]

Boundary and out? Super over?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Usama will bowl a wide now the signal has been given and then Hasan will smash a 4

 

[Square Drive]

Two tame singles to end it all. Just watch

 

[Square Drive]

Usama will bowl a wide now the signal has been given and then Hasan will smash a 4

When will Usama finally bowl these wides that we've been hearing about all game long!?!?!?! ) )

 

[Watsupdoc]

That’s so true bro. Karachites were all busy in making

 

[Watsupdoc]

At the right moment when it’s absolutely crucial

 

[Square Drive]

Commenting just so I don't have to refresh

 

[Thunderbolt14]

When will Usama finally bowl these wides that we've been hearing about all game long!?!?!?! ) )

He's been waiting for the right time. The longer he waits, the lower the betting odds go that there will be a wide in this over. Now is the perfect time to give Peshawar the game.

Last ball wicket. I just know it

An easy boundary to finish it all off, it looks. Mad Dog to hit the winning runs.

Well played Peshawar. We beat you twice but at the end Karachi chokes in knock out stages.

You are the big game team at the end of the day. Congrats

19.6	Usama Mir to maddgenius, 2, 60.00kph, U Mir floats a delivery to maddgenius. Maddgenius plays an extravagant cut. Glorious timing. The initial call is two - the batsmen make it quite easily in the end

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Peshawar Zalmi claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Peshawar Zalmi and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Peshawar Zalmi proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
