Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[savetheFORUM]

Shoaib Malik performance is disappointing so far in this PSL. In a game against Multan Sultan, in which they lost by 3 runs only, Shoaib scored 13 runs of 19 balls. Karachi Kings have played 7 matches and lost 5 so far. There performance is somewhat better then last year. Karachi Kings owner i.e. Salman Iqbal is also not able to come to Pakistan because he is wanted in a court case that may be one reason why Karachi Kings is down and out.

Performing better than the previous year yet ending up 2nd last in the points table wouldn't really help Karachi Kings. They will need to up their game from this point or they will be out of the competition in the next couple of games if they keep going the same route.

I don't understand what's wrong with them, it is definitely not due to their owner not being present which is logically not a reason the team shouldn't be able to perform well, but their coaches and trainers and selecting department will need to come up with something very quickly. The team is not up to the mark, if in a match they bowl well, batting goes against them, and when batting is in their favor, bowlers fail to deliver. Things are not lining up for them.

Karachi Kings captain imad wasim Is trying his best to lift up his team but he's not supported by players but honestly their performance is good in this psl .
Although they are losing but still they are doing good . The reason for their defeat mostly is the opposite team is stronger and they make use of every opportunity.

The 18th Match of Pakistan Super League has started today. Today Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators two teams have entered the field to play. The players of both teams are very strong and played very well. Quetta Gladiators won the toss and entered the field with the decision to bowl. Quetta Gladiators Bowling  This is a very nice ball. Putting Lahore Qalandars batsmen under a lot of pressure. Lahore Qalandars batsmen are not batting very well. Scored 50 runs in 9.3 overs. And now Lahore Qalandars have lost 7 wickets. I think Lahore Qalandars all out today.  There is a possibility.

The team on top of the points table, Lahore Qalandars have lost 7 wickets for 50 runs. This should be an easy win for Quetta Gladiators who is placed at the last position on the points table. Sikander Raza being the last hope for Lahore Qalandars to make some score for the team. More 10 overs left and the same could make the team score atleast 60 more runs if there is no wicket fall. Naveen-Ul-Haq have bowled well taking two important wickets and a run out.

Lahore Qalandars are not looking in good form today and it seems they will not only lose this match but may lose it by a big margin.
If you are a Lahore fan, then you will not want to see this score of 70 for 7 wickets in 12.1 overs. Since Quetta Gladiator have lost most matches in this tournament, this is indeed a very good performance by them against a strong Lahore Qalandars who are at the top of the table.

Run rate may play a big role in the selection of the top four teams and i think Lahore Qalandar should focus that if they lose this match, they do not lose it by a big margin.

Everyone has been surprised by Quetta bowling because they dismissed 7 wicket of Lahore Qalanders while the total score is 82 in 12th over. I think the best option for Lahore is to stay on a pitch with a wicket in hands and build a partnership in order to decrease the pressure which has been build due to quick dismissal. Now Rashid and Sikander Raza are on a crease which has ability of power hitting, hope through Thier availability Lahore wil score some decent target like around 150 which will be a good target to defend for Lahore bowling

There has been a lot of change in the points table in the Pakistan Super League. A few days ago, Multan Sultans belongs to the top position in the points table but now Lahore Qalandars take this position and there are few matches left so the current situation will be change. In today's match Lahore Qalandars set a target of just 148 runs, the opponent Quetta Gladiators has been able to score 97 runs after losing 5 wickets. Now the need for 52 runs from 30 balls, which is slowly getting difficult in their favor. If Quetta Gladiators don't able to win the today's match, this session will not bring anything good for them.

Quetta Gladiators lost this match. How unfortunate it is for them to lose such a match when they should have won it. Quetta gladiators could not win this match you can understand why they are done at the last of the table and why it is almost impossible for them to qualify for the playoffs.

After the poor performance , the poor batting performance by the Lahore qalandars I thought they will lose this match with the big margin but instead they fought hard and in the end won this epic battle.

Lahore qalandar remains on top of the table with 6 matches played and five wins and this give them 10 points.

There is no doubt now Qalandars one of the best team in PSL with their best domestic setup and good investment now giving them good dividend which is surely impressive by the owner Rana Fawad who was criticized badly in early editions due to his on and off the field issues but still he is man of word, and he achieves his targets about this league and team now with today win things looking good for the Qalandars because they have 5 wins out of 6 matches and most chances they will keep this top rank bowlers and batsmen both departments giving their best.

In today match their top order completely fail, but middle order give them good response specially Sikandar Raza's 71 on just 34 balls change the match momentum and bring back them into this match for another good win with the help of Haris Rauf and Rashid Khan both were on their best even they have not good target.

[ZAINmalik75]

Tonight Lahore Qalanders show us why people called them best bowling team of PSL not only PSL but in entire world right now. As I mentioned that if they score around 150 then difinitely there bowling has ability to defend it, feel sad for Quetta because they are struggling already but tonight they has great opportunity to grab it but unfortunately they can't.
From Lahore side credit goes to thier only performer name sikander Raza who score 71 in crutial situation where everything were out of Thier control. While sunsational bowling of Rashid and Haris completely seal the match in end.

Today after win toss and elected to field was good decision by Sarfraz Ahmad and their bowler's response was also amazing while I was watching this match I have feeling they can win this match easily because their batting is also not bad at all with today their all bowlers were at top of the game they have not allowed Lahore Qalandars to have any good score with just Sikandar Raza at the end done good damage which was surely match changer for the Lahore Qalandars but sadly in batting after having very good start they go down like crap and fail to achieve target like 148 with lost today's match by 17 runs which is surely ended for them in current season having just one win from 6 matches mean things going from poor to worse for them and need to have few changes for the next season.

I'm really surprised with the performance of Sikander Raza, because the wickets have fallen and at that situation he have performed with strike rate higher than 200 is really impressive. Quetta Gladiators had good bowling, but their performance isn't enough. Everyone believed this to be the match of Quetta Gladiators and finally once again Lahore Qalandars have proved they're the strongest team. For Lahore Qalandars Harish Rauf and Rashid Khan have done awesome bowling.

Everyone were surprised with the Quetta Gladiators and I was surprised with the comeback of Lahore after 7 wickets reaching 148 runs. Lahore Qalandars have got good players that does the right things at the right time. It is really hard to manage such situation and score good runs. The tema have done it well and the same have made the team once again win the match which is completely into the hands of Quetta Gladiators during the start of the match.

We are having some phenomenal matches in this year's PSL and yesterday's match was one of those. No one could have predicted that Lahore Qalandar will stand out as the winner after showing a poor batting performance batting first. All credit goes to the Lahore Qaladars bowlers to keep taking wickets at regular intervals and finally turning the match in their favor.

The tournament is almost at the halfway point as 18 matches have been played out of the total 34 matches. It's worth seeing the points table now to get a feeling on which team is cruising their way and which teams are struggling to keep up in the tournament.

In the last match, Lahore Qalandars' total collection was less comparatively than other matches, but they defeated the opponent Quetta Gladiators by 17 runs. Strong bowling and batting line-up are the main reasons for Lahore Qalandars' consecutive wins. Everyone from first to ninth can bat well. Although almost many of them could not show good batting in the last match. But this session they have a good squad to reach the final.

What to say?

The Quetta bowlers worked really hard to restrict Lahore to a total of 148. But then the total could have been much less. At one point they were 50/7 (when David Wiese got out). I was expecting a total of 60-70, but then an amazing fightback from Sikandar Raza and Rashid Khan took them to a decent total. And then Quetta got to the most spectacular start. They were at 53/0 after 6 overs. Then the collapse started when Haris Rauf and Rashid Khan cleaned up their top and middle order. Lahore has won 5 out of the 6 matches so far.

It was a thrilling match and a really surprising but well-deserved win by Lahore Qalandars against Quetta Gladiators. Lahore's batting and bowling both are too good for other teams to manage at this point, and it seems they won't leave the top position and will end the league round on top of the table.

About the points table, I believe all teams apart from Quetta all other teams are still in the race for the playoffs. It seems that Lahore and Multan will keep 1st and 2nd places respectively, and there will be a fight for the 3rd and 4th places between Islamabad, Karachi, and Peshawar, and there will definitely be some really exciting matches to watch in these coming days.

Lahore Qalandars ballers saved their team yesterday, after disastrous batting sikander raza and Rashid Khan collected some runs and brought target to a decent point . Quetta Gladiators started really good but after 6 overs the lost control of the match and wickets keep on falling which resulted in Qalandars victory .

Performing better than the previous year yet ending up 2nd last in the points table wouldn't really help Karachi Kings. They will need to up their game from this point or they will be out of the competition in the next couple of games if they keep going the same route.

The tournament is over for Quetta and today's game is a must win game for Karachi else they too will be eliminated. The main problem is Karachi Kings is that they don't have any quality pacer in there team. They are relying totally on Muhammad Amir on pace.
Karachi Kings are batting first and have lost Sharjeel Khan in third over, not a kind of start you want in an elimination game.

[rojan]

The 19th Match of Pakistan Super League has started today. Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings is a match between these two teams. Karachi Kings won the toss and came to bat. Scored 12 runs in 2 overs. Karachi Kings batsman Sharjeel Khan may bat well.Karachi Kings have some good batsmen if they can bat well then Karachi Kings can score like 160 runs.
