Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2019 discussion

Hah, yes, I totally agree with you. Shoaib Malik played an awfully slow inning yet again in this match, just like he did in previous matches of this tournament. This behavior of the Sultans captain is the reason why the team is at the bottom in the ranking right now, simply awful.

Sultans are done with about 17 overs and have succeeded in scoring a mere hundred till now. Kings are probably going to win this one!

I was expecting better game from Sultans but Shoaib's strategy is questionable here. I have seen in other match he did the same thing. The team scored around 93 runs in 10 or 11 over I think then he came and played a very slow game that in the next 5/6 overs they did not score significant run.

I think Shoaib was a bad choice for Multan.

Two match today:


Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi and my pick is Peshawar Zalmi. They lost yesterday and I do not think they will let it happen today.

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators and my pick is always Quetta Gladiators. For some reason I found them the tournament winning team.

I hope they do not disappoint.

I would say it was bad luck for Peshawar Zalmi yesterday. They have good batsman, bowlers but combination was not good. They start a slow match, Fletcher played 28 balls and scored only 26 runs. It should not be the nature of a top order batsman from any angle. Kamran Akmol played good. If Fletcher played quite faster, things may be different. They had good batsman behind. Pollard did a great knock though.

Well I would give credit to Shane Watson for his unbeaten 91 runs. He was very calm to hit the balls. The way he batted even if Zalmi would scored 190+ still I would think that Quetta Gladiators would win.

However Zalmi could add more runs they they were extra careful to run scoring.

When it's about chasing a big score, players get pressure and most of the times failed because they need to hit at a row. Watson played greatly but it would be done someone else if he didn't because the score was not too much.

Oh dear Zalmi right now down and out Qalanders doing very good job 12/4 for Zalmi is never been accepted its very good job by Qalanders bowlers specially by Afridi this teenager is rocking.

Come on!
I just checked the score. It's an easy target for Zalmi but what are they doing? Making an easy game hard? In papers Zalmi is better team too. My good wishes for Zalmi.

@Usman Shinwari is on target for Kings just 7 balls and 2 wickets look like Multan players mentally out of this league body language is also not good and Kings also in attacking mood as they still have chance for qualifiers.

I am not sure what Malik is doing. Whats the point to score a 50 wasting 75+ balls (hypothetically)? It's a T20 and the power play was just wasted. They scored 36 runs by losing 2 wickets. Shame.

Multan sultans are finally out of the tournament. Their team did not play this tournament well although they had some very good players in their team.

Currently Peshawar are looking to win against Lahore as they need 44 Runs from 27 balls with 5 wickets still in hand. Another loss of Lahore will make it extreme difficult for them to qualify.

[AB de Royse777]

My both prediction for yesterday was correct :-)

Multan sultans are finally out of the tournament. Their team did not play this tournament well although they had some very good players in their team.

I will blame Shoaib Malik for this. May be it's time for Multan sultans to find an aggressive captain to perform better in the next season.

After Multan, it seems today will be the end of Lahore also. Islamabad score a massive 238 making it impossible for Lahore to chase this huge total.
Although the boundary is small in Karachi stadium, yet the pressure of 238 will enough for Islamabad to secure their position in top 4.
I am hoping to see a singled sided game in 2nd half.

84 runs, 4 wickets gone after 8.3 overs.

This is what happen when you are under pressure with tons of runs to chase. 238 runs is a lot to chase. Unfortunate Lahore. This season was not good for them.

Well as expected, Lahore was defeated comprehensively in this match and they had no chance to chase the all time high total of PSL. Still Lahore has one last chance if Karachi lose today against Quetta and Lahore win in their last match against Multan. However i think it is very unlikely to happen.

[AB de Royse777]

Cricket world is full of matches today :-)
Afghanistan vs Ireland ODI
South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI
India vs Australia ODI
West Indies vs England ODI
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Test Match

and
Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators
My pick is Quetta for today.

That's what we call a jam pack Sunday.  My Picks South Africa and India to be the winners from these. Although i do wish my team Aussie could play well against India but Aussie had a treble start in this game.

It is full packed LOL

Australia is not looking very good so far. They lost two wickets in under 5 overs and run is only 17 runs. They will need a very good partnership if they want to find something from this match. In modern cricket this is not impossible target by the way.

Lahore is playing its last pool match with Multan today. Does Lahore have any outside chance of qualifying for the last four if they beat Multan in this match comprehensively ? 

Also Karachi will play later today their last match with Peshawar today, Karachi however grabbed a lucky win yesterday as they were able to defend 5 runs in the last over.

When PSL started i wished for Lahore to win PSL final, but it is bad luck for Lahore team that they have potential to win it. Now i really dis-pointed about Lahore team, even i don't think so that today Lahore will win the match from Multan.
Today match is showing that Lahore is under pressure.

This is the first time I am following PSL so closely. I did not have much idea about any teams but after watching few matches I felt for QUETTA GLADIATORS. I think they will with the trophy this year.

Anyway, between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi today. I will go with Peshawar Zalmi to win. :-)

Peshawar Zalmi are near to 200 score and it will not be easy to karachi to chase this. The result of this match does not matter in the context of the tournament.  The knockout stage of the tournament will decide weather Quetta will be able to win this year PSL.

I hope Quetta wins the trophy. That's my team :-)

Anyway, Karachi Kings already lost 5 wickets to score 106 runs after 12 overs. 5 wickets in hand and 8 overs left. Too hard job for them.
