Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[noormcs5]

Yesterday was also the match of Peshawar Zalmi and after yesterday's loss their position in the point table comes to 4th from the third, if they also lose today's match so nothing happen because Multan Sultans is on the top while Karachi Kings have 4 points and if Karachi will win tomorrow's match so still Peshawar Zalmi is on the way of Semi-final because at one match of Zalmi they got a rain which cause of one point and that point will help to them.

When Babar Azam was out whole game went wrong for Peshawar Zalmi and from that point onwards it seemed that yesterday Peshawar Zalmi will lose in a very bad way but still Peshawar Zalmi played well. In the starting when back-to-back wickets hit so on that time, I think that Peshawar Zalmi did with Lahore Qalandars in the 2016 PSL so today Islamabad United will going to do the same thing with them.

In easy words, at the 2016 PSL when the Lahore Qalandars team had so poor performance on that time, when they had a battle with Peshawar Zalmi so the bowlers of Peshawar Zalmi took the wickets of all batsmen and out them all at just the runs of 59, which is the lowest score in the PSL history now yesterday I think that it would be going to happen with Peshawar Zalmi but it could not happen.




This was the Key moment in that match was this run out of Baber Azam on duck and it shifted the momentum against them very early in that match.

This was the Key moment in that match was this run out of Baber Azam on duck and it shifted the momentum against them very early in that match.

In that match of Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United which was played at Rawalpindi and what a crowd was there. At Rawalpindi, there was a crowd supporting both teams otherwise in Lahore, Gaddafi Stadium mostly we have seen Peshawar Zalmi crowd and just a small amount of people who supported other teams.

But yesterday what a crowd was here even in that Stadium some seats were not as good as India had at World Cup 2023. However, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi are fantastic. Just Karachi is the only city where nobody comes to see and it is not that in Karachi, they have no interest in cricket. I think if Karachi have this type of crowd ever so they should have to give just 2 or 3 matches to host in the upcoming seasons of this PSL.

Zalmi vs Sultans

Sultans who are favourite for this tournament and who have lost just one game in the tournament are under huge pressure today. Zalmi's have destroyed Sultan's bowling by scoring 204 runs batting first. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam gave Zalmis perfect start of the innings and later we saw good hitting from Haseebullah Khan and Rovman Powell. Lots of bowlers were used today by Muhammad Rizwan but only Usama Mir and Chris Jordan were able to pick wickets.

I think Peshawar Zalmi won this match easily after setting a huge target of 205 runs for Multan Sultans. In T20 a target of 200 plus runs is not easy for any team but Multan Sultans has batting potential to chase down the target if the opener of Multan sultan Muhammad Rizwan and Reeza Hendricks played good innings then Multan will win it but their chances are low.

Peshawar Zalmi VS Multan Sultans

Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and elected to bat and collected 204 runs by 5 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Both the Peshawar Zalmi opening batsmen performed very well, Saim Ayub was dismissed for 44 off 22 balls and Babar Azam was dismissed for 64 off 42 balls. A target of 205 runs has been enough to win in the T20 format. Peshawar Zalmi bowlers can win if they bowl controlled. Multan Sultans bowlers did not bowl well today.

Multan Sultans went into bat with the aim of winning and scored 34 runs in 4 overs. I think Multan Sultans won't be able to chase 205 runs. Let's see which team wins today.

I think Peshawar Zalmi should drop Tom Kohler-Cadmore because he is playing more poor than Haseebullah Khan, he played a match on it his performance was not as good as we needed so he was dropped for the next match.

I think at this time, they should need to change their playing 11 again at today's match. If Haseebullah Khan comes in as the replacement for Tom Kohler-Cadmore so it will more great and if Naveen U Haq comes again at the playing 11 but this time he will come in the replacement of Paul Walter so it will be good because he did just over in which he got 10 runs, and if he did 4 overs with the same type so he will get 40 runs or if batsmen mode is on hitting so he can get 50 runs.

Multan Sultans went into bat with the aim of winning and scored 34 runs in 4 overs. I think Multan Sultans won't be able to chase 205 runs. Let's see which team wins today.

Babar Azam and Siam Ayub put on 84 runs off 42 balls in the opening partnership as Peshawar Zalmi managed to score 204 runs. Multan Sultans are now batting, their team score is 125 runs for four wickets in 15 overs. Mohammad Rizwan, Dawid Malan, Reeza Hendricks in form batsmen failed to perform in today's match. Multan Sultans under run rate pressure, Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah batting for the fifth wicket, needing 80 runs from 29 balls. I don't think fifth wicket partnership can turn the match, Peshawar Zalmi win today's match.

[WatChe]

I think Peshawar Zalmi should drop Tom Kohler-Cadmore because he is playing more poor than Haseebullah Khan, he played a match on it his performance was not as good as we needed so he was dropped for the next match.

Zalmis are favourite at this moment because Sultans need 71 runs in 24 balls with 5 wickets in hand. If Zalmi win today then they will defiantly retain this winning combination for next game. The strength of PZ is in there opening pair i.e. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam. Today they both gave a brilliant start and rest of batting took full advantage of that 84 runs. It's a huge win for Zalmi and this will boost there confidence for upcoming matches.

What a game of cricket we see today a last-over win by Zalmi boosted their morale well over by Naveen and Salman but what a batting by Ifti Mania he showed real class and power in his hitting but MS was just 4 runs short of a thriller victory.
What a thriller encounter, it was a good game of cricket and that's why we love this sport, especially T20.

No doubt Peshawar Zalmi looked favorite in most of the match but from the Multan Sultan team Iftikhar Ahmed's 60 in only 27 balls gave them the real hope but in vain. 23 runs were needed by the Multan team in the last over. Salman Irshad gave an expensive last over of 19 runs and Multan Sultan found themselves short of only 4 runs.



With this win, Peshawar Zalmi have moved up to the third position and they are very much in the race for this PSL 9 but still, they need to win the remaining of their matches in order for them to be sure to reach the knockouts. Both Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi have a similar 9 points but the major advantage that Quetta Gladiators has is that they have played only 6 matches while Peshawar Zalmi had already played 8 of their matches.

From Multan Usama Mir picked 3 crucial wickets and Chris Jordan also picked 2 wickets but Peshawar Zalmi batters punshied every bowler.
Multan Sultans were very close to chasing the target but failed by a few runs, Iftikhar Ahmed played an aggressive innings but didn't win a match for his team. Aamir Jamal bowled well picked 2 wickets and helped to win Peshawar Zalmi.

Double Header Today

Match 22 Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings
QG team is very much balanced in terms of batting and bowling and also stands 2nd in the points table, today win put up a tag of Qualified on the QG team.
On the other side, KK needs to win this match and also wants to stay and fight for qualifications. Big Pollard is back in the team and this will give good strength to the KK side.

I think it's an easy game for QG to win and they will easily win this match.

[FinePoine0]

Pakistan Super League 22nd match started today, in this match Quetta Gladiator team started batting even though Karachi Kings team won the toss. But the Karachi Kings team changed their mind, and they decided to bowl, they would basically play with the target. Jason Roy, the reliable batsman in this match, got out with only a few runs. So the current partnership formed by Saud Shakeel and khawaja Nafay, if these two can perform well, surely the Quetta Gladiator team can win, if they can score at least 170 to 80 runs, there is a chance of winning.

[Sithara007]

Karachi Kings might win today's match, as they bundled out Quetta Gladiators for just 118 runs. Tim Seifert and Shan Masood have started well for Karachi, and they may improve their NRR as well in addition to winning the match today. BTW, it was a horrible performance from the Gladiators. Hasan Ali was simply unplayable, as he returned figures of 4-0-15-4. He got the important wickets of Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay and two other lower order batsmen. Blessing Muzarabani and Zahid Mahmood also offered good support.

I am sure that the Pakistani selectors have noted down the performance from Hasan Ali. T20 World Cup is not far away.

What a comprehensive win by Kk they completely shattered the QG in batting and bowling chased the target in 3 wickets and won a good game. Hassan Ali with very good bowling called for MAN OF THE MATCH and the losing momentum of KK stopped now it's a good sign for the KK team and fans.

Match 23 Islamabad United Vs Lahore Qalandars
LQ again came into the ground in search of victory as they knew they were out of the race of PSL9 and now they just tried to play their remaining matches and won it by ending their season in a good way.
On the other side, IU wants to win this game to be in the top 3 and try to secure themselves for a Qualifiers. IU has the advantage of playing at their home ground and surely they will take that on their side as well.
Now let's watch the next and last match of the day and hope it's a good game of cricket at Pindi stadium.

Come on IU lets win this game and clinch the 3rd position from PZ.

After winning this match Peshawar Zalmi is on 3rd position on point table of PSL with 9 points. Peshawar Zalmi batted first and scored a big total 204 runs.

From Multan Usama Mir picked 3 crucial wickets and Chris Jordan also picked 2 wickets but Peshawar Zalmi batters punshied every bowler.
Multan Sultans were very close to chasing the target but failed by a few runs, Iftikhar Ahmed played an aggressive innings but didn't win a match for his team. Aamir Jamal bowled well picked 2 wickets and helped to win Peshawar Zalmi.

Yesterday another fact became clear that in this PSL, there is only one team that can beat Multan Sultans two times, otherwise instant of Peshawar Zalmi there are 5 teams still left that have competition with them 2 times but Peshawar Zalmi the only team who can beat them. If Peshawar Zalmi wins against Multan Sultans wasn't happened then Multan Sultans could have been an unbeatable team until this time but not to be.
After this victory, Peshawar Zalmi got third position at the point table. By the way, in the stadium, we can see a lot of fans of Peshawar Zalmi while other franchises have just a small amount of fans. Peshawar Zalmi rose again because of the legend Babar Azam.

Every win is important now as it will decide the fate of the teams on where they are placed on the points table. As you know, in PSL the team who has the first position in the point table can play the Semi-final two times. First, the team that has the number 1 position so if that team loses the first Semi-final then the second Semi-final winner will again play the match between the loser of the first Semi-final match if the loser has first position.

I hope you have understood so at this time, Multan Sultan has the highest rank but Quetta and Peshawar Zalmi can also get this rank if Multan Sultan loses their all match and also Quetta so Peshawar Zalmi can do otherwise if Quetta needs to come so no matter Multan Sultan will win their all matches or Peshawar Zalmi but they should need to win all their remaining four matches. They can come at the first position without any dependence.

Lahore Qalandar vs Islamabad United

Islamabad United won the toss and decided to bowl first, a bad decision because at night it was difficult to chase down the target. Lahore Qalandar scored 162 runs in a loss of 7 wickets in the first inning of the match. Islamabad United lost his 5 wickets in just 38 runs in the first 6 overs of the match. From Lahore qalandar Zaman Khan picked 2 important wickets and Shaheen Shah Afridi picked 1 wicket and controlled the match. Islamabad United needs 125 runs from the remaining 14 overs of the match to win this match but it seems very difficult for Islamabad United.
