Further Updates

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Quetta Gladiators.

Ifthikar Ahmed coming to QG is a game changer.

Decent openers in Jason Roy and James Vince.

Sarfaraz, Umar Akmal and Ifthikar take control of the middle order.

Lala, Nawaz, Faulkner the finishers who can win you games with both bat and ball.

Naseem, Hasnain and Naveen pace trio are just as strong as any other teams pace bowling attack.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Islamabad. They can bat down to 11.

 

[Major]

Hate to say it but isb is strong... Damn had they not given away chacha. They can bat there no 11. Merchant de lang and reece topley are steals...

Quetta going in with a strong batting. Bowling is crap

 

[Major]

Multan has got a good team aswell. They have great bowlers and looks the most balance side with a keeper who is in crazy form for t20.

Multans rizwan plays a big role. Isb has chosen a fat keeprr who cant even dive for a ball.

Maybe i am biased or still have some isb support in my heart to say isb looks strong. Uff i dont want to support them for that unfit keeper.

Peshawar zali meanwhile hasnt improved

 

[Ahsanax]

So UA is selected but not A Shehzad?

 

[arehaan]

Khi has picked a disastrous squad. Just no batting talent. Looks like they say Babar A and went on sleep mode

 

[shamaan]

Islamabad have the strongest squad on paper they bat til 10.

Lohare have the best bowling attack in the tournament

Both these two teams have strong Emerging category players

 

[cricketerB94]

Will be interesting to see how far Lahore goes this time as their team composition is looking very balanced.

Salt, Brook and Foxcroft have very good T20 stats and they are young players. So looks like someone did their homework for overseas recruitment.

Abdullah and Kamran are very good local inclusions as both have been performing really good recently wherever they are getting chances.

Fakhar, Hafeez, Wiese and Patel are OK retentions and each one of them can win the match single handedly on their day.

No questions about the quality of Rashid, Shaheen and Rauf.

Their emerging players are the ones who can learn a lot from their quality seniors. Zaman Khan can learn a lot from Shaheen and Rauf. Maaz Khan and Faridoun can learn a lot from Rashid as both of them are leg spinners.

Zeeshan is a decent backup wk, Daniyal is a decent net bowler and Sohail Akhtar can be a decent player to carry the drinks. So I think they covered every aspect.

 

[Omer2002]

Peshawar look batting powerhouse but not sure about their bowling

 

[TeymurBlake]

Its a difficult one for me, as each squad has pluses and each has negatives.

Islamabad United let go of Ifti which wasn't a good decision but to bring in Azam was even more poor. But having Hales, Marchant de Lange and Rahmanullah Gurbaz was pretty good. Add to the fact they brought Reece Topley a pretty good T20 bowler to the ranks. But keeping Faheem, Paul Stirling and legside fanatic Danish Aziz wasn't good. Amad Butt, Sahibzada Farhan and Fabian Allen would have been better picks for e.g.

Lahore Qalandars bringing in Kamran Ghulam and Abdullah Shafique was great but keeping Sohail Akhtar, Zeeshan Ashraf, Ahmed Daniyal and bringing in Harry Brook and Samit Patel wasn't. Keeping Agha Ali Salman and bringing in Imran Randhawa or Zafar Gohar would have been better. Rather than try lower level foreign players, try some Pakistani domestic players.

Karachi Kings giving the captaincy to Babar Azam was good idea. It meant the Intl. captain got the captaincy for the PSL team but also it made Imad Wasim seem less automatic pick. Bringing in Lewis Gregory, Mohammad Imran and Qasim Akram was good. But Jordan, Abell and 37 Umaid Asif wasn't. There were much better domestic and Dushmantha Chameera player(s) avaliable. Also with Joe Clarke keeping, there is no way Rohail Nazir will get much game time other than a game.

Multan Sultans bringing in Tim David and Blessing Muzarabani were very good moves, but retaining Rilee Rossouw and Shan Masood were odd. But bringing in Rovman Powell (awful vs spin), Anwar Ali despite the good form and Rumman Raees who does have fitness issues. I don't know much about Odean Smith and Asif Afridi can go both ways.

Peshawar Zalmi getting rid of Kamran Akmal would have been great and could still do it cause Pakistan could do with a another WK in the Intl. fold in shape of Mohammad Haris. But keeping the 4 overseas players was also great as they have all been pretty good to great for Zalmi & PSL. Bringing Hazratulllah Zazai back was also a good move let alone bringing in the experience of Cutting was good. Hussain Talat brought in was probably the only downer I could think of for Peshawar personally. Maybe replacing him for a spinner would have been better.

Quetta Gladiators probably had the best draft of the teams. They started it before the actual draft started by bringing in James Vince and Iftikhar Ahmed for Azam Khan. Bringing in Ben Duckett, James Faulkner, Jason Roy and Khurram Shehzad back was great add to the fact they also brought in Abdul Wahid Bangalzai and Naveen-ul-Haq with his T20 experience was also solid. But bringing in Shahid Afridi, Umar Akmal and Sohail Tanvir wasn't good. I get Shahid Afridi is playing his last PSL and is mostly used for the brand purposes but at 40+, it didn't make sense as he would want to play every game. Same goes for Tanvir with his 37th birthday going just by, it didn't make sense. BUT Umar Akmal's return is more baffling with his fitness issues and mind set. Bringing in another other batter instead of him or bowlers instead of Afridi and Tanvir would have made more sense.

So overall every side made some solid incomings such as Tim David to Multan, Kamran Ghulam & Abdullah Shafique to Lahore, Marchant de Lange to Islamabad and Ben Duckett to Quetta. But there were some baffling incomings as well.

 

[Saj]

Local talent IU look the strongest, but overall I don't think there is any standout squad.

KK seem to have really messed up at the draft.

 

[transparent opacity]

All teams have a good and balanced squad except KK. Babar alone is not going to win the tournament for them.

 

[shamaan]

Kk have the worst squads but they have Babar.

 

[-Imran-]

Quetta really have the squad to turn their fortunes around this season.

Really solid squad.

1. Vince
2. Roy
3. Sarfraz Ahmad
4. Umar Akmal
5. Ben Ducket/Faulkner
6. Ifthikhar Ahmad
7. Nawaz
8. Shahid Afridi
9. Sohail Tanvir
10. Hasnain
11. Naseem Shah

[MenInG]

Few changes and additions - so which is the strongest squad?

 

[CricVet]

Quetta looks very strong and should get to the final.

I would love to see how Saqib Mehmood performs in Pakistan this PSL from Peshawar. I think this is his first appearance in PSL?

 

[Maher96]

I would love to see how Saqib Mehmood performs in Pakistan this PSL from Peshawar. I think this is his first appearance in PSL?

He was part of Zalmi last year in fact was one of the top
Performers in the first half. Due to Covid couldn’t make his return in UAE leg.

High expectations again should be good addition for Zalmi.

Got it, thanks. I could not follow cricket closely that much in the last few years. However, I saw him bowling against Pak in the last tour and was very impressed.

 

[Maher96]

Got it, thanks. I could not follow cricket closely that much in the last few years. However, I saw him bowling against Pak in the last tour and was very impressed.

Yeah I think the English selectors were kind of unfair not giving him a go. He was bowling well for a while, even in the BBL got about 9 wickets in 5 games or so.

He could easily replace Broad on current form.

 

[zacattakk]

Is there an updated graphic of the full squads now that all the supplementary drafts and all are done? [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION]

 

[CricVet]

Yeah I think the English selectors were kind of unfair not giving him a go. He was bowling well for a while, even in the BBL got about 9 wickets in 5 games or so.

He could easily replace Broad on current form.

Agreed. I was thinking that he would get his chance against India in the test series. Eng still does have a good bowling side that could easily afford to rotate their goto bowlers with up and coming ones.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Why no Hales??

 

[Titan24]

Why no Hales??

Hales is there in IU's (Islamabad United) squad.

 

[shamaan]

Few changes and additions - so which is the strongest squad?

I think lahore and Islamabad have the strongest squads.

 

[Maher96]

Agreed. I was thinking that he would get his chance against India in the test series. Eng still does have a good bowling side that could easily afford to rotate their goto bowlers with up and coming ones.

I don’t know who their go to bowlers are currently. They only performing in some session rather than controlling a couple of days of a Test. Archer was a big miss for them.

Stokes also bowling well below par.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Strongest Starting 11s for each team according to me:

(Please note that I don't like to select losers like Samit Patel and Tim David unless it's an emergency).

Lahore Qalandars
1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Abdullah Shafique
3. Zeeshan Ashraf (wk)
4. Mohammad Hafeez
5. Sohail Akhtar
6. David Wiese (NAM)
7. Rashid Khan (AFG)
8. Shaheen Shah Afridi (c)
9. Haris Rauf
10. Ahmed Daniyal
11. Syed Faridoun Mehmood

Other Overseas: Harry Brook (ENG?), Phil Salt (ENG), Dean Foxcroft (ENG?), Samit Patel (ENG)

I don't know much about Ahmed Daniyal, but he is probably another average tape bowler, same with Syed Faridoun left-arm spinner probably, but Shaheen, Haris and Rashid Khan make for a very good bowling lineup. David Wiese and Mohammad Hafeez also. The top order is decent, middle-order not so much. But anyway, I'm a qalandar fan myself, and I'm expecting a bottom finish. What happened to Ben Dunk and Dilbar Hussain?

Karachi Kings
1. Babar Azam (c)
2. Sharjeel Khan
3. Joe Clarke (ENG)
4. Lewis Gregory (ENG)
5. Rohail Nazir (wk)
6. Mohammad Nabi (AFG)
7. Romario Sheperd (WI)
8. Imad Wasim
9. Qasim Akram
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Mohammad Imran (I assume this is the one that played for Zalmi last season)

Other Overseas: Chris Jordan (ENG), Tom Abell (ENG?)


Karachi Kings have a good bowling depth, and a good batting depth, they have a lot of all-rounders. I don't know, I don't think they are the favourites apart from Babar, there arent that many world-class players, (but this PSL 7 looks so trash as there aren't that many world-class players from all six teams anyways). Romario Sheperd is a very lethal power hitter.

AND WHY DID THEY LET GO OF LIVINGSTONE??? Livingstone is an insane power hitter, one of the best in the world, and the best overseas player the PSL has. a very stupid decision by Karachi Kings.

Peshawar Zalmi
1. Hazratullah Zazai (AFG)
2. Kamran Akmal (wk)
3. Haider Ali
4. Hussain Talat
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Liam Livingstone (ENG)
7. Sherfane Rutherford (WI)
8. Wahab Riaz (c)
9. Saqib Mahmood (ENG)
10. Sameen Gul
11. Usman Qadir

Other Overseas: Tom Kohler-Cadmore (ENG?), Ben Cutting (AUS)

One of the better teams out of the 6. They have Haider Ali and Liam Livingstone, two match-winning players, especially Liam Livingstone. Apparently, Sherfane Rutherford is a big hitter also. I feel like Hussain Talat doesn't really fit in that starting lineup above, as it means Rutherford and Liam Livingstone are batting too deep/ late. However, Their opening combo Kmaran and Hazaratullah isn't that great, one is a very inconsistent slogger, the other is too old and finished, however, they have Wahab and Shoaib, two other players that have been poor at the international level but provide a good experience for the team. They have a decent bowling lineup IMO, with Usman Qadir, Saqib Mahmood and Sameen Gul. Its was also a bit of a tough choice for the experience (and overrated) Ben Cutting to sit out on the reserves,.

Multan Sultans
1. Mohammad Rizwan (c) (wk)
2. Shan Masood
3. Rilee Rossouw (SA)
4. Sohaib Maqsood
5. Khushdil Shah
6. Odean Smith (WI)
7. Asif Afridi
8. Shahnawaz Dahani
9. Blessing Muzarabani (ZIM)
10. Imran Tahir (SA)
11. Imran Khan Sr.

Other Overseas: Tim David (AUS? Besides what is so good about this useless player?), Rovman Powell (WI),

The defending champions have a very good team. The legendary Mohammad Rizwan, Sohaib Maqsood ad Khushdil Shah who apparently batted like AB last season, Odean Smith who is a dangerous power hitter and a very good signing, but then their bowling options are also really good, with Shahnawaz Dahani amazing player, Blessing Muzarabani, Zimbabwe Golden Boy and I believe he is a good option. Imran Tahir, we all know the experience he brings, also since he has been one of the top LOI spinners, Asif Afridi the domestic beast, not sure how he will perform. However, surely they could have got a better opener than Shan Masood??

Quetta Gladiators
1. James Vince (ENG)
2. Jason Roy (ENG)
3. Abdul Wahid Bangalzai
4. Iftikhar Ahmed
5. Sarfaraz Ahmed (c) (wk)
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Mohammad Nawaz
8. Sohail Tanvir
9. Muhammad Hasnain
10. Naseem Shah
11. Naveen Ul-Haq (AFG)

Other Overseas: James Faulkner (AUS), Ben Duckett (ENG), Noor Ahmed (AFG)

Quetta Gladiators have a very strong batting lineup, in fact, probably teh strongest of all 6 teams, James Vince and Jason Roy is possibly the best opening partnership of all teams, Then I chose Abdul Wahid Bangalzai at 3 because he was one of the top performers in the national T20, and that too for Balochistan who collapsed a lot. Plus I am biased in favour of him since he is from Quetta, I'm very excited to watch him!! But one of, if not, Quetta Gladiators best grab's is swapping Itfkihar Ahmed for Azam Khan, which is firstly incredibly stupid from United, but secondly an incredible trade from Quetta. Then we have Sarfaraz... But the bottom order with Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz is very good, both are very good batsmen (Yes I still assume Shahid Afridi is still a good power at 40+), and Mohammad Nawaz can even bat at 4, which is where he batted in national T20 (and highly successful). They have very good spin bowlers with Nawaz, Iftikhar and Afridi (I don't know where Zahid Mehmood is, but if they have him that's even better), but their wekaest aspect is their fast bowlers. Even though I want the likes of Hasnain and Naseem shah to succeed, unfortunately, they do get smashed way too much (although Naseem shah was decent in the national T20). I was also impressed with Naveen Ul-Haq in the T20WC, but again no world-class fast bowlers.

Islamabad United
1. Alex Hales (ENG)
2. Colin Munro (NZ)
3. Paul Stirling (IRE)
4. Mohammad Akhlaq (wk)
5. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (AFG)
6. Asif Ali
7. Shadab Khan
8. Faheem Ashraf
9. Muhammad Wasim Jr
10. Danish Aziz
11. Hassan Ali

Other Overseas: Marchant De Lange (Who on earth is this guy, is he from Belgium?), Reece Topley (ENG),

Firstly we have to mention the fact that Islamabad can bat down to 11!! Wow. Plus, Islamabad has always been the top favourites for every PSL edition I think, and this time is no different. We all know that they have top-performing bowlers for the PSL with Hassan Ali, Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf, most notably. Muhammad Wasim Jr is a brilliant prospect. Now although, they can bat down to 11, their top order and middle batsmen aren't that world-class. Because you have Paul Stirling who I have only seen perform in the associate matches, not even in franchise cricket, plus Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a relatively new player, the same goes with Muhamamd Akhlaq. But their biggest blunder is trading Iftikhar for Azam Khan, incredibly stupid to say the least...

With that being said, strongest teams, with number 1 being the strongest:
1. Multan Sultans
2. Islamabad United
3. Quetta Gladiators
4. Peshawar Zalmi
5. Karachi Kings/ Lahore Qalandars
6. Lahore Qalandars/ Karachi Kings

 

[Firebat]

Quetta and Islamabad have the most explosive batting lineups.

 

[Maher96]

Rizwan, Rovman, Sohaib, Kushdil, Rilee, Braithwaite,David some big hitters there in the ranks for MS.

Anwar and Odean Smith can hit them long too.

Rizwan
Shan
Rilee
Sohaib
David
Powell

 

[MenInG]

Multan batting in the middle - wow!

Tim David and Rilee!

 

[sweep_shot]

Multan by a country mile.

 

[Maher96]

Multan by a country mile.

does seem so with the current results.

Absolutely hammering Teams. They also seem to have all bases covered. Even rotating fast bowlers.

Flower again shows he is always ahead of the curve.

Multan's to lose from here.

 

[A.A.Z]

This ranking is an assessment of the relative strength of each squad which doesn't account for variables such as leadership, management, injuries and freak performances.

1, Lahore has the best bowling attack and a very solid batting line up with the additions of Abdullah Shafique and Kamran Ghulam. They might struggle at crucial moments because of inexperienced leadership and not the most data driven management set up.

2, Multan has the most formidable batting line up while their bowling is more than the sum of its parts. They're led by the best leader in the country who's backed by the best backroom staff.

3, Islamabad have a very long batting line up but their all out attack approach, similar to England, may cost them in the Lahore leg where surfaces aren't as conducive to stroke making. Well-rounded bowling attack led by a bright young captain who's guided by a very savvy management set up.

4, Quetta look much stronger than they have the past couple of seasons in both their batting and bowling. Sarfaraz knows how to win tournaments but as seen in the past couple of years when things don't go well for the team he's the first to implode and Moin Khan seems more focussed on his son's PR than earning his free pay cheque.

5, Peshawar don't look to have improved too much in any facet but still a decent team. There is an over-reliance on senior players but this is a management set up which keeps guiding their team to the final or at very least the play offs so can't ever count them out.

6, Karachi looks a toothless team with a journeymen bowling attack and batting combination is all over the place. Leader can only get so much out of these bowlers but he should be playing batsmen like Farhan in the right spot. Doesn't help that they have the most toxic back room staff. Finishing 5th will be an overachievement for this bunch.

[Maher96]

MS and Lahore for me eventually had the strongest squads.

Enough fire power in both teams and good bowling attacks.

 

[shamaan]

After watching the whole tournament Lohare and Multan played the best cricket so they deserv to be in the final.

 

[CricVet]

Will Lahore materialize now? They are the most balanced side on paper and if they don't win now, then there is something ominous associated with this franchise. MS is the most professional of all the teams in PSL and won't let them escape as IU did.

I think multan have a more balanced side.
