Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion.

[AB de Royse777]

We all need some fun even its silenced because right now its very frustrating time going on locked down with no activity Karachi is in good position as they restricted Islamabad United on good score now they have good chance for qualifying in Semi Final with Multan two teams still need to confirm.

Karachi just lost their hard hitting batsman Sharjeel. This man destroyed the bowling of IU so far. KK are going to win this match without any doubt but the question is how many wickets they will lose. Hope they do lose at least 5 wickets :-P

/ Nah not going to happen :-D

Karachi kings have lost two quick wickets and suddenly the match has become interesting. Karachi may still win this match provided they do not lose any more tickets. The run rate required in about 7 per over, which is very achievable. With the loss of IU, they will be out of final race.

Edit:  Another wicket loss of Karachi. 5 down now  

I. Watching last five balls .

Edit: Kk won lol
It meant to be a trashing win for KK but lately IU responded well and match was tight. The result could go in anyone's favour but the batsmen held the nerve and got the winning runs for KK.

PS: It seems I am gonna have 2 more points lol

I was not expecting fight like this from Islamabad United they done good job but sadly now they are out of PSL as they finished fifth until now.

Yeah it was a do or die match for them but their batting unit flopped today. They needed some run in the scoreboard to defend. 136 runs in 20 over match is nothing especially in the modern cricket but still they were able to give a good fight even after the destroying start by KK. At one stage it was looking like KK will win in 10 overs but after the fall of two top orders, the run rate got really slow. I heard the commentators were talking about some record breaking dot balls in this KK innings. Good thing is that they did not lose it at the end.

Okay, Anyone got any idea? why points are not updating in pool. I am pissed at superbru lol, after long waiting period i finally got my 3rd match points and they are not updating point table...... why?

In soccer they are updating very quickly but in PSL mostly they take some good time I was also checking again and again but its not working.

Nothing to worry about, the Suberbru take some times to update the results. Today is the last Super Sunday of PSL with two matches in the day. Both the matches are extremely important for the teams to quality and you can say they are like quarterfinals for Lahore and Quetta.






I wish Lahore to win this one to secure their place in the playoffs.

I gone with both home teams but I have a feeling that one home team will lose but not sure which one. And I did not have any idea about the intensity of these matches. I was thinking Lahore is a very strong team. Especially when they had two super performers, Dunk and Lyne.

They took their sweet time but did it eventually.

So Lahore and Karachi are playing at home.. Karachi kings seems like winning horse as Quetta playing shitty cricket for quite some time. Confused on 2nd game if we are considering home condition as winning factor but opted for Multan anyway

If I can recsl correctly then Quetta was a better team last year and the tournament winner too but this year they did below average so far. They must have a different team then last year?

Afridi in MS? It will be interesting to see his bowling against Dunk and Lyne if they face him of course.

Multan is a stronger team of this tournament and that's why they are at number one spot on the points table but remember this is a do or die match for the Lahore and what's more it is being played at Lahore. I hope they will not disappoint the local crowds today. Also if Multan sultan loses this match, their position will remain same so I will suggest Multan to experiment a little and play causally.

I was going with Quetta for so long only for this reason, got burned badly lol

No idea about who playing where.. you are talking about Shahid Afridi? lol he's still playing..  

I hope they will not disappoint the local crowds today.

So no Empty stadiums? or audience in front of telly

I see this explains your performance on the pool :-p
I guess after first two match, I changed my mind and went with the opposite team, not sure. Most of my picks in this season are indeed random. Whenever I tried to put a thought in a pick I lost. Hopefully today the same does not happen :-p

Yes I was talking about Shahid Afridi. Dude is 40 years and still performing better than some of the youngsters lol
I like his legspins. In shorter format those balls are very lethal.

Quetta team is playing with more or less same team members but they performed better in last and all the previous PSL series. One of the reason is that previous tournament was held in Dubai and their players were more suited to those pitch conditions. Similarity we see first time Islamabad United also out of the tournament, else they were a strong team when played in UAE.

I hope they will not disappoint the local crowds today.

I thought that crowd less matches will be limited to Karachi only as there are more suspects of virus in Karachi but to my disappointment  Lahore to also host crowd-less PSL-5 matches

Am I the only one who is making blind bets based on previous win stats and yet getting all the results in Round 4 right  At this pace, I think I'll win the Pool 

What happened to you @Umeridress, not betting for the past 8 games. @Johnbitco is also not betting nowadays.

I have been busy for last few weeks due to the coronavirus spread all over Europe     & other stuff and could not follow the matches as much as I would have liked.
However, I just checked and saw our caption Royse is topping the list. Also only Royse have funded this pool.

I will give credit to my random picking skills lol
Honestly speaking in most of my picks I really did not do much research, not even watched too many matches too. But I also get amazed by the points I managed to get.

In response of 186 runs from MS, LQ is responding very well. May be today as well I will be able to manage few points lol

Lahore qalandar is playing really well here in the match. They gave few extra runs but their opening partnership is flourishing. They can easily win this match and looking strong with Lynn and Ben Duck still in their team while many international players have left from other teams.

I just heard Rameez Raja saying that selfies are prohibited because of coronavirus, how come selfie be a threat. It was only the hand shaking which should be avoided.

We have the last group phase match today, between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators. Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings have already qualified to the semi-finals, being the top 2 teams. But we still have no confirmation regarding the 3rd and 4th placed team (that will depend on the outcome of today's KK vs QG match). In all probability, Lahore Qalandars will finish at no.3 and will take on the Karachi Kings.

No other cricket matches going on anywhere in the world. So I would be watching today's match on DSPORT.

Once the PSL is over, you will miss the cricket because there will be no cricket matches for a while.
Also the defending champion is out of PSL and we have a biggest Semifinal lined up,  LAHORE VS KARACHI
