Whose inning was better:
Pollard for Karachi Kings against Lahore Qalandars? Or
Afridi for Peshawar Zalmi against Quetta Gladiators?

Tough decision :mv
 
Id say Pollard if he didnt fire KK were knocked out of the tournament and to win the game when they needed 10 off 2 by hitting 2 sixes but Afridis was a class knock too.
 
Pollard. Held his nerve. Not easy hitting two sixes in the last two balla
 
45(20) for Pollard

45(23) for Afridi


That is a crazy coincidence. Personally I would rate Pollard's innings higher just because the stakes were greater however Pollard had help from the other end as well, Afridi on the other end had constantly changing partners and only 2 boundaries from Hasan Ali to help him.
 
Obviously Pollard due to the tense situation of the game, hitting 2 sixes on 2 final deliveries when 10 runs were required under immense pressure of getting knocked out isn't an easy task, but having said that Afridi innings was special in its own respect. He had to rescue his team being the last recognized batsman in the lineup with over 30 required at 10 runs per over, which is equally equally challenging, thankfully he held his nerve and played sensibly for a change playing each delivery on its merit which is so unlike him and eventually got his team over the line, commendable effort.
 
KP's was the more clinical and higher quality innings however there is still something very exciting about watching Afridi hit 6s.
 
Pollard..

Afridi got two fours from hassan ali.. if pollard wpuld hv got two fours from imad. Then the game wouldnt have gone to the last ball
 
lol, would you really compare them now!

Pollard had to make it in the last 2 bowls in the most pressurizing situation...

Afridi's one was good but no comparison I'd say
