Good to see PSL 2019 is started , I have almost no knowledge about this super league. All I know is it is organized by Pakistan Cricket board.I have one question which is I am seeing almost all international team like IND,AUS,NZ,BAN,SA,SL are busy with their own international matches.So definitely many big players will be mission on PSL which might affect the tournament.  

[AB de Royse777]

Today there are two matches and I have time to watch the matches. By the way, which team do you have the best possibility to win? I have no clue about their strengths.

About the prize pool, I think it'd not be appropriate if we do that here in the "Gambling discussion" section. AFAIK, games like these should be posted in "Games and rounds", not in this section.

I think this board is the right place for this. Check this: Bitcointalk's UEFA Champions League Football Preditor Pool £25 in btc to join, it's in this same board.

Currently Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United is going on. Multan Sultan won the toss and decided to chase. Islamabad United seems to be in big trouble as they are down 2 wickets while scoring just 26 runs in 5 overs. Luke Ronchi is still out there in the middle though scoring 21 of 18 balls. Need a big innings from him. I think Multan Sultans will win it without much trouble though as they have a formidable batting line up with Shoaib Malik, Andre Russel, Jason Charles and the perfect man for T20 cricket, Shahid Afridi. That line up looks prime to chase down any target lower than 160 with ease.

PSL is missing a lot of players this season till now. It will be more interesting when some more player will join. Otherwise, it will be risky to predict since most of the players are unknown.

Predicting on a player you don't even know is hard because you don't know how that player play but there are also an unknown player that you didn't know but a good player like a new rising superstar. If the players still the same theb you only gamble small amount for your prediction.

Like IPL even PSL also getting prioritised on this forum I guess. However this is really good initiations and people will get attracted and play with cryptos for PSL too.
Let's see who is going best player or man of series in league matches.
Indian team picks the  best player from that local series they also need to do such initiation.

In an hour Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators is going to start. Who is waiting to watch the match? I have not done much research so not sure who is going to win however I am looking forward to see few matches before I make my own assumptions.

Edit:
After winning the toss Quetta skipper decided to bowl first.

Islamabad United is the one of the weakest team of this tournament in 2019. (Although they were the winners last Year).
92/6 after 14 overs seems they will lose this match too. They need to play out remaining overs and ball to their best in order for them to have any chance in this match.

Thanks for the feedback now I know about the Islamabad team a little.

The first over from tanvir was killer. It was a maiden two wickets. From 1st and last balls. Now they scored 116 runs after losing 6 overs. 4 overs to go. May be they will cross 150 runs but in T20 150 is not enough. At-least recent T20s.

Today both matches was not good enough but still I able to have bets on both and won because these leagues doing nothing for cricket these are giving some good and handsome money for bookies and punters so today I try with my experience and knowledge of cricket this works and won both matches. Now we have two days rest hopefully in next phase I can predict some good picks in this PSL.

Yes, it was an easy win for Peshawar Zalmi. The target given by Lahore Qalandars batting line-up was too low to defend; the bowlers looked like they had given up from the start of bowling because of this very low target.

Lahore Qalandars is now once again on the bottom of the points table!

I have seen only two matches in this PSL both are yesterday.
Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators
Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi

So far I got good impression for Quetta and Peshawar Zalmi. I will need to see few more matches before I start making my predictions. Zalmi has a good bowing attack. Well done.

We can say Complete package about Quetta and Zalmi need some time as they are also good but need to work out on some things or taking time Islamabad is also good but they need some good leader which can lead them from front.

I am still digesting information because I am not familiar with any of the teams in PSL. After seeing few more matches I may tell things about the teams. I am looking forward to the next match.

Well, congratulations then because Lahore Qalanders looks strong this time though lost their first match against Islamabad United in the first match of the league. Qalanders have good management and a blend of potential in every area. The league is going great with people gambling around the world on one or another team winning/loosing millions of dollars. This is another underground economy attached to the leagues.

Hafeez won't be able to be a part of remaining matches of PSL 2019:

Bad for Lahore Qalandars... It seems like AB de Villiers will now be the captain of Lahore Qalandars in all of the remaining matches of PSL 2019.

What are the possibilities for Lahore Qalandars to be in the final? I see they won one match out of three. The only win with Karachi Kings.

How about Karachi Kings? I see they have won match against Multan Sultans who is currently in the third position in the point table.

Quetta Gladiators is looking a good team so far to me.

[AB de Royse777]

~snip~

OK, I'll sum up Lahore Qalandar's past performance for you:

2016 PSL: Lahore Qalandars got the 5th position out of the 5 teams in the tournament.
2017 PSL: Lahore Qalandars got the 5th position out of the 5 teams in the tournament.
2018 PSL: Lahore Qalandars got the 6th position out of the 6 teams in the tournament.
2019 PSL: So far, they're on the bottom once again on the points table.

On paper, IMO, Karachi Kings is the strongest team this time.

Thanks Raja. It helps a lot. My eyes are on Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators.

Quetta Gladiators have match today with Multan Sultans. I will be watching it. I have no idea about Multan Sultans, the team strength, player's forms. Are they better team than Quetta Gladiators.
