Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[Rigon]

One of the things I like most about psl is opening the match by praying for the dead and affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Their opening match has created love in every human heart. I also pray to my Lord for the victims and victims of Syria and Turkey. Such a disaster should not be given to any other country by the creator.

That is truly inspiring and these are some of the good things that other countries need to follow from Pakistan. Other countries too does it, but I find this to be special. Because, Pakistan is already in bad situation even at that stand praying for the others who are suffering is really the best thing. When we pray for others, automatically we'll be blessed.

Enjoyed a great match. Playing on a target of 176 runs, Multan Sultan scored more than 100 runs without losing any wicket. The required run rate is more than 9 per over. Victory in that match was a bit far away but the chance was really high. But the match was again swinging back and forth towards the end. When finally Mohammad Rizwan returned that moment a fear of losing the match came to Multan Sultan's team. But even though they lost, the difference was only 1 run. The first match of PSL really gave the audience a lot of joy and enthusiasm.

Yes the first match of PSL gave a lot of joy and enthusiasm among the audience. Batting first in the opening match, Multan Sultan collected 174 runs losing 6 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. Lahore Qalandars entered the field with a target of 175 runs. Lahore lost 6 wickets and collected 175 runs in the scheduled 20 overs. Lahore Qalandars won by only 1 run in this match. Actually the first opening match of PSL was really unusual. It is rare to see such a hard-fought match.

True, the first match itself have given the best feel of watching a T-20 match. Lahore Qalandars winning by just a run is really big when Multan Sultans were able to reach 174 runs. The turn according to me is the run out of Kieron Pollard. Even after that they've managed to score 13 runs. The same over had 3 wickets, what a match to watch.

What an entertaining game of cricket we had on the opening match of the PSL.  Multan sultan started the chase in an aggressive manner but could not finish the game. You can imagine the climax that the six runs was required on the last ball of the match and Khushdil scored a boundary which means that Lahore Qalandars won by a one run.

I would call it a perfect start to the tournament and the heat is on for the other matches in PSL.

By the way, those who bet on Lahore Qalandars would have made big money as the odds were above two in the favor of Qalandars at the start of the match.

Missed the opening match of the Pakistan Super League 2023, because I was travelling. Later watched the highlights. This time the competition has started with a bang. You can't have anything better for inaugural match. It went down right to the wire, with the Qalandars winning by just one run in the end. 15 from the last over is going to be tough, especially when a talented player like Zaman Khan is bowling. Khushdil Shah did his best, but the outcome was clear when Kieron Pollard in the second ball of the over. Hussain Talat at deep midwicket fielded the ball really well and the moment Pollard found himself short of crease, it was all over for the Sultans.

There is no doubt this was ideal start of this event as defending champions Lahore Qalandars have good target and then their bowlers also dong good job specially in last over youngster Zaman Khan keep his nerve and not allowed Pollard and Khushdil Shah to hit required 15 runs and Multan Sultans lost this match by 1 run despite heroics inning from captain Mohammad Rizwan which also increased his striker rate drastically.

This time we have the good number of top T20i players involved in this edition and all teams are looking level in quality, hopefully we will have more supporting matches like this in coming days as well with Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United are looking strong to me, but things could be decided in ground.

[Hamza2424]

There was so much drama in last over of the match, zaman Khan the young pacer take responsibility to take last over, he give huge loss to Multan batting lineup because he send 3 player to pavilion by runout them in second, third and fourth delivery of his over,  Multan need 15 runs in last over to win but zaman Khan didn't allow them to get them easily and as a result they just lose 3 player in last over while just got 13 runs unfortunately they lose the first match of HBL PSL by just 1 runs, while from both teams fakhar zaman and Rizwan collect a decent runs of 66 and 75

OHHH what happened in the last match it was unexpected. I made a post on 99/0 on 12 overs. After that when I refreshed the page, I was shocked haha 100/1 and then 125/4 and then 169/5, and in the last over ohhhh it was the same as the ENG vs PAK (Intence match). Last Over was like a heart attack on the way. I was still expecting Multan is going to win but unfortunately, just by 1 run Multan lost the first match. Anyway, Congratulations to the Lahore team supporters.

Another controversy is ongoing for the World Cup and Asia Cup 2023 between India and Pakistan. Champion Trophy is also at stake. I am not sure what is going to happen but if PAK and IND continue to resist each other then a legendary match between India and Pakistan is going to be missing and you better know it's the heart of the tournament ICC is going to be in loss haha.

Peshawer Zalmi vs Karachi Kings
In second match of HBL PSL Zalmi will face his rival Karachi , as the rivalry start from controversy of Amir and king Baber, no doubt amir are phenomenal bowler but baber has class , in tonight according to Pakistan time 8:00 pm they will face each other. Both has strong lineup like Karachi have Malik, Haider, wade, amir etc while on the other hand Zalmi has king Baber, the young gun Haris who really put South Africa and new Zealand in huge trouble during world cup. Also Zalmi have rajapaksa , shakib-ul-hassan and too young power hitter. Hope it's will also a trilling matches just like first one and hope my favorite team Zalmi will win.

Honestly nobody was expecting such colorful opening ceremony aimed financial crisis in the country. Good job done by PCB administration for making it worth watching. Also there are adequate number of foreign players involved in PSL 8.
Before start of first PSL match everyone was saying Multan win the match but it was Qalandar's day yesterday.
Today a Kings knock by Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 92 runs on just 50 balls. Karachi Kings not having ideal start of there PSL as they have lost 4 wickets in 10 overs and still 120 runs required.

Now there is debate going on in the country after Muhammad amir remarks that "Bowling to Babar Azam or tailender is same for me". After this statement Muhammad amir gave away 42 runs in his 4 overs and wasn't able to pick even a single wicket. While Babar Azam scored 68 runs on 46 balls. Amir must refrain himself for giving such remarks and should focus more on his bowling as economy of 10.5 tells lot about your performance.

A very interesting match between Peshawar zalmi and karachi Kings ,Peshawar Zakmi gave a huge target of 200 runs to KK . Tom Kohler-Cadmore scored 92 runs and Babar azam scored 68 runs good innings played by them.
Now karachi king is batting they lost 4 wickets in early overs but now imad wasim and shoaib malik build a strong partnership and they are chasing target quickly.

Finally Peshawer Zalmi win the match under Baber Azam captaincy and proved that he has ability to lead any team and also shut the mouth of all haters. Peshawer Zalmi score a huge target by the help of king Baber and the six machines Tom Kohler-Cadmore, after dismissal of two quick wicket they both take responsibility and build a big target. But from Karachi after dismissal of starting 3 wicket I taught they almost lose it but hatsoff to Malik and imad who take the inning long and score a big bunch of runs but unfortunately they didn't finish it.

Karachi Kings played very good specially imad wasim and sohaib Akhtar they played an exceptional innings and brought match to this point but unfortunately lost the match by 2 runs 
Peshawar zalmi was tremendous and they bat and ball extremely good that's why they won the match .

Another match ends in interesting way with Peshawar Zalmi won by just 2 runs after yesterday's Lahore Qalandars 1 run win things looking interesting for next matches because we have good competition between bat and bowl with both teams having few good solid hitters but here Karachi Kings after losing 46/4 still have good fight back through veteran Shoaib Malik and Imad Wasim which put 131 runs partnership and bring back Karachi Kings back in match but still fail to win and lost this match by just 2 runs.

80 from 47 balls were the best from captain Imad Wasim but in last over fail to hit required runs and for the first win of this season Khurram Shahzad who was playing his first match done good job in last over and have won for the Peshawar Zalmi after heroics inning from English man T Kohler-Cadmore who smashed 92 runs on just 50 balls and help his team for having target like 199 in this second match of this season.

Peshawer Zalmi vs Karachi Kings

In today's match, Karachi Kings lost despite a very good performance. Karachi Kings lost 4 wickets in 7 overs resulting in a huge impact on the match for Karachi Kings.  But Imad Wasim and Shaoib Malik gave Karachi Kings a crucial innings but unfortunately the turning point of the game came in Wahab Riaz's 19th over. Just when Karachi Kings needed 24 runs from 12 balls, Wahab Riaz came in to bowl and took the crucial wicket of Shoaib Malik in 18.2 overs. Wahab Riaz gave only 8 runs in the 19th over, moreover Wahab Riaz's 18.6th ball was a no ball but Ben Cutting could not collect any runs from that ball which played a very important role in defeating Karachi Kings in this match. Coming to the last over of the innings Karachi Kings needed 16 runs from 6 balls but in the first 5 balls Karachi Kings 1,1,1N,1,1 could not use it despite getting a free hit which is another important reason for the defeat of Karachi Kings. However, we expect Karachi Kings to perform better in their next matches.

Yet another close match in the Pakistan Super League!!!! The TV audience is getting worth for the money they paid for. The victory margin in the first match (Qalandars vs Sultans) was 1 run, and in the second match it improved slightly to 2 runs. This time, 16 runs were needed from the final over (in the first match it was 15 runs from 1 over) and Khurram Shahzad was given the responsibility of defending the target. Imad Wasim and Ben Cutting tried their best, but Shahzad's yorkers proved to be too difficult to get away. BTW, the last ball was hit for a six by Imad Wasim.

PSL first two matches..
Lahore Qalandars Vs Sultan Multan
Lahore Qalandars won by 1 run

Peshawar Zalmi Vs Karachi Kings
Peshawar Zalmi won by 2 runs

I was unfortunate to miss the first two matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Later was totally surprised to see the score card from Cricbuzz. In the first match Lahore Qalandar won by just one run and in the second match Peshawar Zalmi won by just 2 runs. However, it will not be possible to write any comments from all these matches without watching the complete game.

[Sithara007]

^^^ You can watch the match highlights in the official YouTube channel of the Pakistan Super League

https://www.youtube.com/@PakistanSuperLeagueOfficial

The videos are available in UHD quality and I went through the highlights for the first match as I was unable to watch it live.

Anyway, Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi have started their campaign with a bang. And today we have the match between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators. Sultans lost their first match against Qalandars, and therefore they will be desperate for a win against Quetta today. For Multan, Mohammad Rizwan and David Miller are key players in the batting department, while bowling responsibility will be lead by Shahnawaz Dahani and Usama Mir. For Quetta, key players are Wanindu Hasaranga, Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah.

[Fuso.hp]

Every match of PSL is full of excitement. In the first match we saw Multan Sultans defeated by Lahore Qalandars by just one run followed by Peshawar Zalmi beating Karachi Kings by two runs in the second match of PSL. Those watching the game sitting in front of the TV may have been excited to see who will win or who will lose. Such a match is really admirable.

Karachi Kings were 46/4 in 6.1 overs and I predicted that the game is over for karachi but they fought till the last ball. It was Khurram Shahzad debut and he was very expensive in his 4 over spell giving 47 runs but main thing is he bowled 2 no balls in final crucial over. Imad wasim batting was best in that game but unfortunately he wasn't able to take kigns to Victory.
What to expect in today's game? Victory by 3 runs ?
