Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

After having a flying start now Islamabad United is on the back foot. Two runouts make a big difference. The Hyderabad Kingsmen are looking much more confident after having a big win in yesterday's game against the Karachi Kings. Devon Conway and Sameer Minhas give a good start but suddenly things are now on the opposite side. Two wickets by Mohammad Ali and two run-outs bring things in balance.

Mark Chapman and Chris Green are on the crease; they can add some good runs, but now it's all about the Hyderabad Kingsmen. They can restrict them on the total, which is easily chaseable for them. At the end of 17 overs, 128 for 5—not bad for the bowling side.

I agree with you on this because the way Islamabad United started, we thought they would win this match and besides, Islamabad United is already stronger than Hyderabad Kingsman. So, seeing their strong performance in their opening, we thought they would be able to get close to 200 runs in this match but they ended their innings at just 153 runs. This is a normal score in these types of pitch conditions.

Meanwhile, the team we thought would lose, after losing all four matches, achieved their first win in the Pakistan Super League this season.

Today's match is important for both because these points will improve their position for both. Peshawar Zalmi hard work and strength is enough strong because they are making themselves strong and successful in every match. Lahore Qalandar will have to work the most because if they fail in this match, it will be difficult for them to play in the next matches and it may be difficult for them to survive until the end. At this time, Lahore Qalandar's bowlers are trying hard, but Peshawar Zalmi has played very well in 15 to 18 overs and during this time, Babar Azam and Mendlis have strengthened the target enough well. At this time, Peshawar Zalmi batsmen have scored 168 runs in 19 overs. If they effort harder on the next balls, a target of up to 180 can also be possible and with this, they can strengthen their target even more with their hard bowling and achieve their victory.

In the Pakistan Super League the game between Lahore Qalanders and Peshawar Zalmi was very enjoyable and Peshawar Zalmib defeated Lahore by 76 runs. Peshawar opens  inning first with Muhammad Haris and Babar Azam and among the openers Baber showing his class by scoring 43 runs and also Haris trying to give good start by scoring 18 runs and in middle order Kusal Mendis is in amazing form and showing a very powerful hitting by putting a winning knock of 74 runs and also Michael Bracwell played a very aggressive knock of 21 runs and at the end of the innings Zalmi set a huge target of 174 runs.

Lahore Qalanders opens inning with Muhammad Naeem and Fakhar Zaman and among the openers Fakhar  Zaman played under pressure but played a very defensive knock of 21 runs but Muhammad Naeem lost the wicket early on 2 runs and in middle order Zalmi bowlers completely dominating the Qalanders batters and all the batters lost wickets early and not a long partenership can be seen but in this panic situation Abdullah Shafique showing his skills by scoring 21 runs and in lower order Wellalage scores 20 runs and stay on wicket like a wall and at the end of the innings Qalanders just scores 97 runs and can't chase the target successfully and Peshawar won the game

Karachi Kings VS Hyderabad Kingsmen

Hyderabad Kingsmen won the toss and decided to field. I would say that Kingsmen bowlers got off to a good start. Mohammad Ali took the crucial wicket of Reeza Hendricks in the first over. Karachi could only manage 25 runs in 3 overs. Karachi Kings will probably not be able to make a big total today.

the Hyderabad team decided to field first and gave the Karachi team a chance to bat, in which the Karachi team gave a target of 188 runs, which they have made in 20 overs. Almost all the players of their team have shown good performance, in which the highest runs were scored by Saad Baig, which consists of 53 runs, and in second place, Moeen Ali has scored 44 runs. Further supporting them, Azam Khan has scored 26 runs and Muhammad Waseem has scored 25 runs. All their players remained united, due to which they have been able to make a good score and chasing their target, the Hyderabad team has scored 189 runs. If we look at it, from their team, Maaz Sadaqat scored 37 runs and Irfan Khan also remained not out, scoring 29 runs. Hassan Khan also  With this, he managed to score 33 runs and remained not out. Both the teams performed well in this match, but the victory in this match went to the Hyderabad team

No doubt Islamabad were considered one of top notch team of the season on thier basis of this picks and early start, but now as soon as shadab got dropped things start to become worsen for them, Hyderabad no doubt are far better in term of team strength but lack at experience due to young blood, so I will not blame Islamabad batting order for low target as Kingman already got momentum and for sure
it was ideal time for them to crushed every opponent & twice thier winning streak after shuffle lineup at top order. but yeh Islamabad bowling side may add obstacle at defend to Atleast make things entertaining.

Finally after four straight defeats Hyderabad finally secure green result, Karachi after warner injury wasn't looking full fledged team as his contribution via bat as well as leadership tactics really mean for team at such crucial situation, although Hendricks replace his position but hasn't make much difference for them. While Hyderabad at chased make such shuffle at lineup shift saim two down and captain lead the opening pair with aggressive mode on which surprinsgly tackle the top order collapse and thus later some pure power hitting from tail ender Hassan get the required to register thier win and thus (apka Bhai Kuch kary ga be ready) a viral meme from Hyderabad Kingsman owner hence proved 

After a long wait, here is the good news for Hyderabad Kingsmen's fans, they finally enjoyed a game. Hassan Khan played a great knock of 30+  runs that really helped the team a lot. Hassan Khan came in 8th position but had a huge impact overall in the game, so I hope that in future games they will make a great, suitable batting order that will help the team and players play to their full potential.

Actually, it is not enough to start well, they have to do well towards the end. Some batsmen in the middle order and lower order of Islamabad United did not have good strike rates, so they could not set good targets. Hyderabad Kingsmen lost 4 consecutive matches but they won the last two matches, but let's see how well they can do in the next matches.

Today there will be a match between Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans. Both the teams are at the top of the points table, Peshawar Zalmi is at number 1 and Multan Sultans is at number 2 in the points table. So I hope this match can be very competitive. However, the bad news for Peshawar Zalmi is that Nahid Rana and Shariful Islam will return to Bangladesh after playing this match.
