They choked and the last 2 overs were excellent. This is what happens when you play Anwar ali. He lost them the game

Shockingly poor batting from Rilee. Fair enough Anwar Ali is crap but Rilee not even attempting to run back for a second was really surprising.

KP dismissal was unlucky. It was the turning point.

Sarfraz was shocking today, hopefully learnt a few lessons. Don't want this friendship crap in the national team
Shadab was in... its clear he got a little overconfident with his decision making, Misbah is an old dog, but he still has some moves, out thought the young lion once again like he did in the PSL final last year...

Shehzads slow knock also lost them the game. He should've either batted till the end but the rubbish player that he is, he got out after the slow knock.

Sami being the best bowler of PSL is what happened. Misbah being an amazing tactician and handler of bowlers is what happened. Shehzad's selfish-ish knock is what happened. IU being the best team of PSL is what happened.
when Anwar Ali comes to play at #6 then you have a problem

One match doesn't make IU the best side. QG are still the best side in the tournament.
The same Muhammad Sami was smacked for six in the last match in a very similar situation. LOL at Sami being best bowler of PSL.

why not give credit to sami and ruman instead of bashing anwar, sarfraz, and shehzad.
very good bowling in death overs gave them a win. anwar wasn't in touch today, that's all.
and yes it look like quetta didn't want to win.

Oh, please. I'll see what you say when we lift the trophy ....AGAIN. And Sami has been the best bowler of PSL both seasons. LOL at your logic - how does getting smashed for a six take that away? Steyn was smashed for 28 runs in an over in the IPL, does that mean he's not a good bowler? Allah he Hafiz hai phir tou.
Secondly, you mention similar situation. Phir say LOL. Yaar bowlers are not successful in such situations 99/100. Nothing out of the ordinary.

No. The turning point was when Ahmed Shehzad gift his wicket away and then Sarfraz Ahmed gift his wicket away.

Incredible is the only word I can think of.
There was no way they would have got a second run to tie the game and Roussow knew that.
Although, everybody knew that there was no way that Quetta were going to lose that game...

Every close competition is fixed by the logic our very own conspiracy theorists are presenting. Come on, folks. Let it be and enjoy the beautiful game. Rilee was too far ahead to even think of going back. There was no point.
This was a very interesting chess game between an old battle hardened but declining Lion, and the new king of the jungle.. the new Lion had this swagger about him this confidence, he is majestic... there is alot to admire about him..
the older one is circumspect, his reflexes have given in, the defeats he has faced in recent years has made him more pessimistic, no longer the lion he used to be in his prime, he's silent and unsure of his abilities, he likes to go through the motions but he's sure he's on the losing side, yet he hangs on, his years of experience have taught him that, its more a run through the motions than anything else not out of any medals of bravery, because there are none for loser.. but as a soldier's soldier.. you live by the sword and you die by one..
The younger lion, is at the top of his game, he is ferocious, he is ruthless, he has his best years ahead of him, all the jungle wants this new lion to be their leader, to be their king.. there is an air arrogance about him, he knows he is the best.. as there should be when you are the one on the attack, when you make things happen..
He is the best, his record proves it, he has the look of a predator, he is attacking by nature but very shrewd as well, the sort of look that makes the old lion thinks his time is up..
The old Lion must've stolen the victories when the new King was still learning, but now its his time for glory, and he knows it..
However he underestimated that old lion, who's body is not the same, yet his mind still calculates and still works out an opening, a weakness, a time to attack... a time when the enemy is too busy admiring himself, he sees a weakness.. he attacks, and he takes the younger lion down
Again proving himself as the best, still the king at heart, yet not physically there, but still proving that he has what it takes... proving regardless of what year you are in... experience is everything

WOnderful captaincy by Misbah ul haq.
THere was no point of running two on that ball, as it wasnt a big fumble.

dude dont he know the basics of cricket ?
if he try running more aggressively than the one who is there to runout a batsmen gets into pressure and miss the bowl.
we saw this many many a times specially at these situations when there is 2 run required on last ball or last ball 1 run.
you may remember superover match of pakistan vs australia in dxb.

I know there was no point but at least he could have tried to run he never even tried to run
If you need 2 to win, surely run the first one hard and then see what happens. Roussow ambled through that 1st run, not remotely interested in attempting to run 2.

Rilee should've atleast attempted he second. Sami has a history of choking and he could've double fumbled. I think Rilee was just disappointed and gave up
This was also a great reminder of the importance of fielding, that run out on the penultimate ball made all the difference. If Smith had been a split second slower it would have left Quetta needing one run to tie, so keep that in mind the next time Umar Akmal says something idiotic like "I don't want to lose weight because I won't hit the ball as far"

Sarfraz played a horrible shot when he needed just less than 1 run per ball. That was a pathetic shot to attempt when you know you are limited. Then he made the worst decision to send Anwar Ali hack in keeping in mind Sami would be bowling the last over.
I think you were watching a different match.
Look at who is running to the danger end.
Look at Perera, he wants to go for the 2nd run.
Look at the difference in how the 2 batsmen run the 1st run.
Look at the reaction of the Quetta bench to Roussow not even trying the 2nd run.

the fielding of islamabad was terrible today.
The 2s that went for boundaries were ridiculous.
SOme very fat and pathetic fielders at the boundary
I thought any chance they had was gone when Talat let the ball go through his legs near the end

This is a bit outlandish but think back to when Sarfaraz didn't run out Shadab and let that run to complete. If that run had not been completed we would have had a tied game right now. QG stole defeat from the jaws of victory.

Shocking from anwar ali.
He lost them the match, but Riley was also bad himself.
Should have at least tried.

Lol Safraz was screaming abay run lo *********2
Exactly he was going berserk. Kicked something. The rest of the bench were going crazy also at Roussow.

What a choke.
Literally no harm in attempting a run, and this wasn't even a Desi player. So much for non-Desis being professional!
Guess Rossouw brought in those choking genes from SA.
But even if you don't consider that last ball, how could one possibly bottle 17 runs off 19 balls with 9 wickets remaining??? Regardless of how good the bowling is, that should be achieved 10/10 times.
All you need is singles. Even after KP's unlucky dismissal and Shehzad's careless dismissal, they needed 7 off 12. Promoting Anwar who was already down on confidence was a huge error, especially when you have Mahmudullah hand Perera still in the hut.
Overall pathetic show by Quetta in the last 5 overs of the game. Viv needs to give them a talk tonight.

How Sarfaraz can call for Anwar Ali to bat before an internationally established hitter like Parera is beyond me.
Also Ruman was correct in giving Sarfaraz that send off today. Not showing respect to a bowler believing you will blast him out of the stadium the first ball you face, what was Sarfaraz thinking??

Sarfaraz also promoted Anwar Ali in the 200 chase against LQ and IIRC Anwar hit 12 of a few balls to win the match. One hit from Anwar would have ended the match and that's probably what Sarfaraz thought as well.

The ball went straight to Misbah and Rilee knew there wasn't a second run there. If you look closely even Parera wasn't looking for a second run until Sami misfielded. And by the time he had misfielded Rilee had already gone past the stumps...
I agree , it was not just cricket.
Can't believe some people are blaming Shehzad. He played a well calculated innings and game was in the bag when he got out.
Sarfraz is a decent captain but he trying too much to make decisions out of the box like making Anwar Ali come out to bat. Can't believe he made such a move when he had a clean and better hitter in Perrera to come in too. He though game in bag so let's bring Anwar in he will see us home and people be saying what a decision. He needs to keep it simple.

lots of questions in this match.
Also why send Perera below Anwar Ali.
Why not send Nawaz in ahead of Anwar Ali?
Why not send in Mahmudullah ahead of Anwar Ali?

Regarding Anwar Ali, Perera failed in the match vs LQ and Anwar Ali played some fine shots to finish the game. Nothing to be questioned about that decision.

If Riley had fixed it he would have at least pretended to run a second. Just saying.
There was never ever a 2 there, slightly lazy but realistic.
I guess a lot of people are questioning the lack of intent.

This is why you try to finish the match in the 2nd last over. Never take it to the last over when you're that in control of the game like QG were.
I don't know what Misbah has to do with winning the match?? He screwed up big time while batting, played painfully slow, did not took advantage of start provided by Talat
Game changed because of wrong KP's dismissal, when he was going after bowlers, Misbah had no answer.... After him both Safi and Shezad could not even score run a a ball, again non of them can play pacers, as We have seen for millionth time. Misbah himself is like them... only thing Misbah did in whole match is send the fielder back on long on when Sami was tying for Yorker in last 3 deliveries, to prevent boundary .... A guy who has played 50 test as Captain and screw our ODI team for 8 years, can atleast have learn this much, islets make him Captain till 2020

I think fixing allegations are a overreaction and totally unnecessary. Like seriously, why would anyone want to fix after the allegations made on Sherjeel and Latif ?
Riley obviously knew there wasn't a second and he has to be disappointed with the performance he put in today. We can sit here and analyze all we want, but we don't know how Riley was feeling and why he made that decision. You can definitely speculate , but it is good to lay off fixing allegations.

I was only following the match through commentary and before the start of the final over there were 5 runs needed in 6 balls and I posted in the match thread "you know what IU can still win this" and that is exactly what happened.
Never take a game in the final over when you are so comfortably ahead. Raees bowled an excellent penultimate over though just gave away 2 runs, however he was greatly assisted by Sarfaraz, Rilee and Anwar.

How the hell can you guys manage to blame Shehzad? I am not a fan at all, but this is embarrassing attack. Have some self respect.
The guy got 59 runs and how many balls he used does not matter. Quetta needed 7 runs of 12 balls with 7 wickets in hand. It was definetly not Shehzad fault.
