Quetta Gladiators extraordinary bowling performance today match beat Multan Sultans by 10 wickets. Quetta Gladiators this performance improved their net run rate a lot and they moved to second position on point table. Multan Sultans disappointed batting performance bowled our team at just 89 runs. The man of The Match is Khurram Shahzad for his wonderful bowling performance picked four important wickets by just giving only 23 runs with an impressive economy rate of under 6 runs over and restricted Multan Sultans under 90 runs. Quetta Gladiators chase down this small total of 90 runs without loss of any wicket in just 7th over of the match. Finn Allen and Soud Shakeel played very aggressively, finn allen scored 45 runs from just 21 balls, they missed his half century because target was chased down while Soud shakeel also played a classical inning of 41 runs from just 20 balls and improved their net run rate.

This one was another humiliating defeat to the Multan Sultans team and they are looking helpless at the moment. First they could only make 89 runs. This time only their captain Mohammad Rizwan batted through out the innings and made 44 not out. There was no other batsmen that could gave him any sort of partnership and the wickets kept falling at the other end. Also when they came to bowl, the bowlers weren't able to put any impact on the opposition. Every bowler was too much expensive. Quetta Gladiators chased this score in only the seventh over, amazing

Yes, they are now out from the PSL. They have only won 1 match and lost 6 matches, and their points are in the negative, so with this, they can't survive in this league. Besides their collective poor performance in today's match, Rizwan was good enough to make 44 runs alone and was not out till the end.

Khurram Shehzad did amazing bowling in today's match, taking 4 wickets, the first 4 wickets he took. This is amazing. I am so shocked by his performance in today's match, and with this bowling, how can a batsman stand and make runs? Multan does not have the capability to turn that pressure into their strength and make good runs, and they collapsed against the Quetta Gladiators bowlers.

The captain of Multan Sultan Muhammad Rizwan is also captain of Pakistan ODI side, now there is question that if he can't lead a side in domestic league then how can he lead Pakistan at international level where competition is at it’s peak. The Sultan's only victory is against Quetta team and they have lost rest of 6 games they have played so far.   

Today the unbeaten Islamabad united will play against Lahore Qalandars. Odds must be in favor of United for today's game but Qalandars also have shown decent performance in this PSL and can break the winning streak of United.

Still believe that Muhammad Rizwan is the best captainship material that Pakistan has at the moment. PCB gave chances to Babar Azam and Shaheeh Shah Afridi as well, but they failed to grab the opportunity. Rizwan seems to be the better option out of all that is available. And if you talk about yesterday's match, Sultans lost because of poor batting. Rizwan was not out at 44, and all the other batsmen made a combined total of just 39 runs. What he can do in this case?

Lahore Qalandars Vs Islamabad United

Lahore Qalandars will take on Islamabad United today in the 19th match of the PSL. Islamabad United as they stands the unbeaten team in the tournament. It is an achievement in itself to play five matches and win all of them. However, today they are playing in Lahore against the home team. May this be a disadvantage for them, it is yet to be seen. Lahore Qalandars aren't bad either but they had a 50/50 performance at the moment. They won 3 matches and lost three too, so it's a 50% win ratio for them. Since the competition is very close one, they would desperately want to win this match and secure two points today.

Lahore Qalandar batsmen have played a very good game today in which they have scored 209 runs and their batsmen have also lost 6 wickets along with this carelessness. If their batsmen had not lost these wickets, it could have been an even better target. Islamabad batsmen have so far scored 88 runs in 10 overs and have also lost 2 wickets, which is good for them, but they have a very difficult target, due to which they will have difficulty in the next over, which they have to face. If they do not spoil themselves in this, they will succeed with a very good effort and they will get the lost match in the form of a win. If the Lahore Qalandar bowler shows toughness, then this match will be a defeat for Islamabad, which will not be a special opportunity for them.

I was looking for which team would be able to beat Islamabad United and guess what, it is the Lahore Qalandars who did this. They beat Islamabad United by a good margin of 88 runs. The Islamabad United team does not looked the team we used to see them in the previous games. There was some good batting by Salman Agha in the start but once he got out, there were too many wickets fallen for Lahore and they just got all out at 121.

Shadab Khan made only 5 runs and it was a surprising for everyone to see Islamabad United fail in this game. The good thing was that it was not a knockout match and hence they can think and come back stronger in the upcoming games.

Unbelievable, Lahore Qalandars defeated the unbeatable team of this IPL, i.e., Islamabad United. I am in shock at how they overcame the champion team. As you said, it's a disadvantage for Islamabad United to fight against the hometown team, and Lahore took advantage of that opportunity and defeated such a good team. But we know Islamabad United is already qualified, so whether they win or lose now can't change much. They played 6 matches and lost 1, and they have a match remaining. If they lose that, then we can see some changes on the points table. By the way congratulations to the Lahore Qalandars team!

Yes, no one anticipated this result and people, especially those who were betting on Islamabad United, were surprised and also sad about this outcome of the match. I was thinking as what went wrong with Islamabad United in this match. Many analyst may blame that they did not bat well but the damage started when they weren't able to take wickets in the first innings and Lahore's team was able to score 209 runs. When you have such a big total to chase, you're usually on the backfoot and may not play with free mind. This is exactly what happened, and Islamabad United kept losing wickets as they knew they had to keep on making shots throughout the innings.

Islamabad United won the toss and elected to field  first. Lahore set a record runs for 209 and won the match. Islamabad United chased a total record runs for 121 and lost the match. The best batting performance in the Lahore Qalandars was by Fakhar Zaman  scored 44 runs 30 balls and 5 fours and 2 sixs. Congratulations to Lahore Qalandars for their upcoming matches.

Karachi Kings have seen good batting, this good batting includes their runs but they have lost 3 wickets in 7 overs which is a bit detrimental to them but they are playing well. If they give Multan Sultan a chance to give wickets again then their target will become quite easy which is a reason for their defeat. Karachi Kings are trying to play very well and this will also make a difficult target for Multan Sultan and apart from that Multan Sultan is not that strong and it is at the last position on the table due to which they should not be considered that weak or that strong. Karachi Kings who do not waste their strong and strength which makes it difficult for them. If Multan Sultan gets a chance anywhere, they will press Karachi Kings down due to which they will lose. This match will be interesting on one hand when Karachi Kings wickets are still out then Multan Sultan will work hard and there will be interest in this place.

Yeh yesterday finally Islamabad got defeated by home team Qalanders after five consecutive win streak from start of the tournament, Credit should goes to Raza the way he played not only through his bat at crucial moment when team really need such aggressive innings at middle order and then later they way he took vital wickets of several significant player shift momentum toward them. Anyway it's huge achievement for Lahore to beat the previous season champions by such huge margin and that defeat definitely will impact thier confidence level and that may be beneficial for Zalmi as they really need upcoming 4 victory to qualify and soon they will played their next match against Zalmi so all the best wishes for them.

Late charge from Khushdil Shah give good boost to KK in this game as they crossed 204 runs which is looking not easy for MS which is already down and out of competition and things are clearly looking they could be ended their season at the bottom of league table.

James Vince leading KK batting with his good performance 281 runs in this season while Irfan Khan is also giving good performance while in chase MS are badly down as they already lost their 5 wickets on 76 in 10 overs.

Spinners are doing their job Mohammad Nabi and Khushdil Shah both controlling proceedings and giving no chance to MS for having anything positive in this game asking rate is already over @13 which is looking going to have increase, but now this is going to be 4th win for KK in this season looking easy.

Karachi Kings to win the game very easily. Karachi Kings were batting first and they easily scored 204 that was looking not easy for Multan to chase and now there is no chance for Multan Sultan to win today's match. They already lost eight wickets and batting on 91, as I am saying another wicket gone and now they are on the last wicket. In the early games, Multan didn't play well throughout the series and never gained momentum and they are at the bottom of the table, no chances for them to come back. Multan Sultan and their bad luck continues in this PSL season.

Now it is the time to say good bye to the Multan Sultan team from this season, good bye in the sense that they cannot qualify for the playoffs rounds now. They were playing finals for the last three to four years but not this time. If Multan wins their remaining two matches, still there is no chance for them even in this condition because Karachi Kings have 8 points right now and if Multan wins the next two games, they will get six points so in short Multan Sultan is out of the race of this PSL 10.

Today there were two matches in Paksitan Super league competition and one of them was completely finished without any issues. However, second match is still ongoing and Quetta Gladiator squad and Lahore Qalandars squad are participated. But situation in this match does not look good and it is currently delayed because of heavy rain and high possibility this match will abandoned. If this match is completed I think Lahore Qalandars team will win it and their performance has been quite impressive so far. In this match Multan Sultan squad against Karachi Kings squad, Multan Sultan faced another bad defeat now it is confirmed that this squad will not be able to qualify in next important matches. James Vince displayed strong performance and played wonderful inning with 65 scores off deliveries.

Karachi kings outstanding performance winning the match by 87 runs against Multan Sultan. While chasing a big total of 105 runs Multan Sultans only manage to score of 117 runs all team bowled out and become the first time to exist in group stage of Pakistan super league 10th edition. From multan sultan Kamran Ghulam played some good inning to score 29 runs from just 25 balls. The man of The Match is James Vince for his amazing batting display scoring 65 runs unbeaten from just 45 balls and assited karchi kings to win this match easily.  Karachi kings bowling performance was amazing to watch especially Mohammad Nabi spin bowling picked three important wickets by just giving only 14 runs with an impressive economy rate of under 4 runs per over and Khushdil Shah also pixked 2 crucial wickets by giving only 26 runs and limited multan sultan under 120 runs.

Well, the match was dismissed because of the weather, it was too intense, and the match was very difficult to continue in those conditions. That's why the match was declared a draw between them. The Quetta Gladiators won the toss and decided to bowl first, but unfortunately, they did not proceed with the match. If the match had proceeded, it would have been an interesting one, as both teams are struggling. Quetta needs to earn some points to participate in more matches, but after this, their 8 matches are completed, and I don't think they can continue with such low points, having only won one match out of 8 and lost 7. The same is true for Lahore Qalandars, they also played 8 matches, with 3 losses, 4 wins, and one draw.

It's quite hard for Multan Sultan to accept such kind of awful results, as they have ordinary statics in recent past. but some kind of of bad luck and some irresponsible batting as well as bowling performance cost them such terrible defeats, honestly Karachi were in big trouble as soon as they lost three of these vital players, but there some lose grip from Multan bowling lineup at that moment allow thier opponent to get little bit room and then absorb pressure to strike stronger. No doubt Multan batting lineup can turn things different, but I think such high number on board put them under huge pressure which push them to take chance, and thus lose match with a decent margin.

The match could have been a good contest but it didn't happen. Lahore Qalandars started well and if the match had been even  200+ score it would have been very easy to win the match. The team managed to score 111 runs in just 11.3 overs and they had enough wickets. It was good for Quetta Gladiators that the match didn't happen. Some may disagree here because if the game had been played at a level where the DLS method could have been applied due to the rain, it is not certain which side would have won or lost. But both the teams are strong so no one can be ignored.

Maybe we can say that Lahore Qalandars had bad luck yesterday. They had a nice start but the match was abandoned due to rain and bad weather. However, I am not entirely sure if LQ would have won even if they scored nearly 200 runs because they were playing against Quetta Gladiators, which isn't a weak team. They would have chased any target on a given day. Both teams get a single point from this match, and hence they stand in the same positions, 2nd and 3rd, on the points table with the same 9 points each.
