Double Cracker Today in PSL
1st game should be played between Peshawar Zalmi Vs Karachi Kings
Give your opinion on this match as Karachi and Zalmi Both lost their 1st game and also want to start getting the 1st point by winning the game.
2nd game should be played between Multan Sultan Vs Lahore Qalandars
MS after consecutive 2 victories they are currently the leader of the PSL 9 but the situation is opposite on the other side for LQ they lost their starting 2 games and looking to win the third game at any cost.
What are your thoughts on the Double cracker of PSL 9?

The first match in particular sounds attractive. Karachi Kings have big names such as Leus du Plooy, Hasan Ali, Kieron Pollard, Shan Masood and James Vince. On the other hand Zalmi have Aamer Jamal, Babar Azam, Khurram Shahzad, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Rovman Powell in their side. However, Zalmi looks more balanced as they have quality batsmen. In the second match, I would have gone with Lahore Qalandars, but they have lost both of their matches now. Multan Sultans are in great form and have won both their matches till now.

Karachi Kings became the first team to achieve mile stone of 50 defeats in PSL. This year they have done another blunder by making Pakistan test team captain as there captain. Babar Azam has done right thing by moving to Zalmi side. Karachi Kings first match was disappointing as they lost the game by 55 runs and that showed there motivation for this year PSL.

Only 25 minutes left for this match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi.Karachi Kings may have continued their losing streak as they lost their first match of the season. Karachi Kings can't field a consistent team every year due to which their losses are more than wins every year. This may be the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League being held in which a team has lost 50 matches in these nine seasons which is a unique record.

Karachi Kings were winner of PSL 2020 under the captaincy of Imad Wasim and since then there performance has declined. They are under huge criticism due to poor performance last year, just won 3 games out of 10 games played. They should have gone for some good captain but they opted for Shan Masood who is a test player. 6th game of PSL is underway, Karahi kings have won the toss and they have decided to field first against Peshawar Zalmi.

An excellent performance by KK in bowling against one of the top favorite teams PZ and they completely shattered their batting order with big names like Saim, Haris Babar, and Powel only Baber and Powel showed some resistance against KK bowlers. Now looking forward towards KK batting it's not a difficult target to chase but early wickets can cause some problems for KK to chase this target.

Karachi king won the toss and first decided bowling. Karachi king bowler out the Peshawar zalmi batsman in the first ball of the 1 over. This is the first achievement for Karachi king team. This is the bad started for Peshawar zalmi batsman. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 26 run in 3 over and 1 out. Once time again Karachi king bowler out the Peshawar zalmi batsman in the first ball of the 4 over. This is the second achievement for the Karachi king team. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 83 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Peshawar zalmi batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. Peshawar zalmi batsman makes 154 run in 19.5 over and 10 out. This is the target for Karachi king batsman. This is the easy target for Karachi king batsman. Now let's see Karachi king batsman can complete this target or not.

Today was the match of Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings. This Wednesday is going to be epic at Gaddafi Stadium. If there is a Sunday so more people will come to see the match but not a problem because Lahore and Pakistan are too big so from anywhere we will see the crowd shouting and cheering.

Babar Azam and Aamer Jamal had no competition by the way, Babar Azam and Aamer Jamal both played for Karachi Kings and today we will see them against their turning point of a career franchise. Karachi Kings have just 2 good players Shoaib  Malik and Hamza Mir. I don't think so that Hamza Mir is excellent but according to the team, we can say him good.

Karachi Kings were winner of PSL 2020 under the captaincy of Imad Wasim and since then there performance has declined. They are under huge criticism due to poor performance last year, just won 3 games out of 10 games played. They should have gone for some good captain but they opted for Shan Masood who is a test player. 6th game of PSL is underway, Karahi kings have won the toss and they have decided to field first against Peshawar Zalmi.

At the first ball of the innings of Peshawar, Saim Ayub lost is wicket on the very first ball by the 42-year-old person Shoaib Malik. Saim Ayub wanted to hit on the cover but when Malik released the ball so Saim decided to hit swipe but in the middle, he changed his idea and decided to play at the cover to get four runs but the problem came where when Malik's ball extraordinary spin in the air and come before his bat.  He still had a chance to save wicket but it's Shoaib Malik spin so the result is the out on the first ball. This out made pressure on Peshawar Zalmi on starting of the match.

PSL is the biggest league ever. It's a league that has competition with IPL. As you can see, that once a time when no player came to play in Pakistan, and from 2009 to 2018, no team came to play in Pakistan only B teams came to play in Pakistan.

This ban was stayed due to an attack. Anyways, the Pakistan league was also not played in Pakistan because out-of-country players said, we are not coming to your country. Yes, if you set it in Dubai so most welcome. But now, David Warner said before PSL that he wanted to come to Pakistan to play at PSL because I love to play in Pakistan. He also played IPL but he played it for money but now his goal is to play PSL 9 but he was not selected by any franchisor this year. Hope, next year we will see him. Not only David Warner, but other players of cricket like Kane Williamson and others also said the same thing.

Also Lahore Qalandars is also failing in the current match which is ongoing at the moment. Lahore Qalandars has lost 2 wickets to Rassie van der Dussen and Shaibzada Farhan.
In Multan pitch, Multan Sultan got very good advantages because as you know, Multan ground is too big which helps to spinners to contribute at all the positions of fielders while in small grounds, the boundary is too close and hit with power at spinner ball so you can easily hit boundary but in big ground this thing can't be happen while more bounce is Multan Stadium pitch is also best for spinners and Lahore Qalandars have just a spinner so this is a thing that damage Lahore Qalandars play. Rashid Khan left PSL to play because of injury but it seems injury not to Rashid to Lahore Qalandars.

The two teams that will participate in the 5th match of Pakistan Super League PSL 2024 are Multan Sultans and Islamabad United. Both teams are side by side in the PSL points table. Besides, it is very difficult to predict which team will win today's match with good performance from the position. However, if I had to make a prediction about today's match, I would definitely back Multan Sultans in today's match. This match will be played at 8:00 PM Bangladesh time let's see if my prediction focuses on me.

Multan Sultan outstanding performance in the match against Islamabad United. Multan Sultan won this match by 5 wickets they chase down the target in last ball of the match 145 runs in just loss of wickets. The Player of the Match Mohammad Ali for his amazing bowling performance picked 3 important wickets by just giving 19 runs. Islamabad United bad performance they only scored 144 runs all out in first inning. I think in t20 cricket a target of less then 150 is not a competition target. Islamabad United needs to improve his batting performance in next matches.

Today is the match of Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United. If we look at back results so Islamabad United had more bad results than Quetta Gladiators. Quetta Gladiators won their last 2 matches while Islamabad United won a match and lost a match.

Today we will again see Nafey batting but this time we will see at Lahore. Let's see what type of game he will show at Lahore Stadium. Nafey's batting is like Saim Ayub's 360 shots. But in the last month, Saim Ayub's performance was not well. Anyways, let's see what happen at today's match. In the first match of Quetta Gladiators against Peshawar Zalmi he got a chance to bat for just 3 balls and on that three he made 6 runs.

Big game for IU because they wanted to win the match and again back in the winning rhythm no doubt both teams are strong but I am going with IU that IU won today. Nafay is too good to watch his shots are very much in control and stays on the crease with calm by showing positive intent. Let's hope for a good thrilling encounter.

After some minutes, the toss is going to be held at Lahore. I think any team will win the toss so they will choose to Ball first because  Quetta Gladiators has M.Amir, Wasim Jr, and M.Hasnain which makes them more strong and best team. These three are the players who enable  Quetta Gladiators to become again Prime-Quetta Gladiators while Islamabad United have Naseem Shah and total three Shah's who can make the opponent team all out in just a few overs. Also, they had good all rounders while Quetta have Nafey. This competition is going to be next level because both teams had the best players. If  Quetta Gladiators has Nafey so Islamabad has Azam Khan. So, it is a competition that we will see at today's match in Lahore.

I will go with Quetta Gladiators as they have won their previous matches and are on the 2nd on the table, but they haven't lost any match. Multan Sultan also has not lost any match but since they played three matches, they have 6 points on the table and are on the top of the table.

Quetta Gladiators won the toss and they decided to ball first. It's a very good decision by them because a bowler like Amirr who won India at the 2009 World Cup and the 2017 Champions trophy, and Wasim Jr is also very excellent, and when they will come to bat in the second innings if there will pressure so the early batsmen will out and then most of the people's favorite Khawaja Nafay will come and he can calm down all the situation, but I don't think so that the openers will be out early by Gladiators with pressure because Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy performance were so good in the last previous matches.

Islamabad United need to score runs near to 200 as the wicket will ease down as the match progresses and we have seen the batting become more easy with some dew factor coming into play.

Match 8 Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators
[....]

Eighth match of Pakistan Super league competition is ongoing on crease which is among Islamabad United squad against Quetta Gladiator squad and toss already done between them and Islamabad United squad has begun this match first batting Inning by calling of Quetta Gladiator squad. Islamabad United squad lost one batter wickets after playing 5.3 overs and collected 56 scores. Alex Hales wicket was gone down at 16 scores and Mohammed Hasnain Queatta Gladiator squad bowler picked his wicket. Agha Salman and Colin Munro  these batters is still on crease and I think both made good partnerships and collect much scores. Agha Salman displayed significant performance in previous matches against different squads and hope he will also played good inning in this match. Muhammad Amir Bowled two overs and he did not pick any wicket in these overs. Predicting which sqaud will emerge victory is difficult based on current situation.

What are your thoughts on the Double cracker of PSL 9?

Pollard is a wonderful player against a very good spinner of Afghanistan Waqar Salamkheil, he hit 5 sixes almost he was just hit 6 sixes in 6 balls, and if he hit like this it could be the first time at PSL that a player hit 6 sixes in 6 balls.

Waqar Salamkheil is not too good bowler but at the same time, it's a spinner and this pitch was also good for spinners. In the spinner pitch, Pollard hit 5 sixes back to back to spinner, and with him Vince got a partner so he also hit some sixes after inspiring by Pollard. Yesterday with the wonderful batting Peshawar Zalmi still didn't do anything but hope in the upcoming matches Zalmi team performance will be back as 2017.

Karachi King's team had a bit of luck in that they achieved a win against Peshawar Zalmi, I think they had a problem with their batting and bowling because if you see bowling so still 4 overs were left then Karachi won but if there is another team so maybe the bowling went more harsh. So I think they should need to change their playing 11 as they can replace Cadmore and in the replacement of Cadmore HaseebUllha can come while in bowling if they replace Waqar Salamkheil and inside Arshad Iqbal in the playing 11s it will be great. I know Waqar Salamkheil took a wicket but he also got 5 sixes in a single over.

Match 8 Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators

Quetta Gladiators did a great job limiting Islamabad United to just 138 runs in their 20 overs. Shadab Khan didn't make any big plays tonight. The Gladiators' bowlers were outstanding, so now it's up to their batters to chase down this total. Quetta seems to have a well-rounded squad this year, with strong bowling and batting units. btw! it looks like an easy chase for Quetta against Islamabad.

Quetta Gladiators won the toss and they decided to ball first. It's a very good decision by them because a bowler like Amirr who won India at the 2009 World Cup and the 2017 Champions trophy, and Wasim Jr is also very excellent, and when they will come to bat in the second innings if there will pressure so the early batsmen will out and then most of the people's favorite Khawaja Nafay will come and he can calm down all the situation, but I don't think so that the openers will be out early by Gladiators with pressure because Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy performance were so good in the last previous matches.

Islamabad United need to score runs near to 200 as the wicket will ease down as the match progresses and we have seen the batting become more easy with some dew factor coming into play.

The batsmen of Islamabad did not work hard and did not perform well.  And only gave a target of 138 that too in an innings of 20 overs.  They should have given a target of 200, maybe they could have won.  But now there is full hope that they will lose this match.The batsmen of Islamabad did not play today's match with any interest and did not give such a difficult target that they hope that we can win the match today.The Quetta bowler bowled very well and took a very easy target and took 9 wickets.  And his performance was very good.  Now let's see the result who will win the match and who won't.  I really hope that Quetta team will win today's match.The match is still going on.  Quetta need 45 runs off 41 balls to win.

The Gladiators' bowlers were outstanding, so now it's up to their batters to chase down this total. Quetta seems to have a well-rounded squad this year, with strong bowling and batting units. btw! it looks like an easy chase for Quetta against Islamabad.

Quetta Gladiators is one of the most favorite teams in this year's PSL, but in today's match, it seemed that Islamabad United will give a target of more than 190 runs in today's match, but after the fall of the second wicket for 69 runs, Islamabad United could not increase their score much. Losing wickets regularly and consistently, Islamabad United declared the end of the innings for just 138 runs, but one of the best players of the team, Shadab Khan, collected only two runs and did not perform much with the ball. Quetta Gladiators are batting at a target of 139 runs and till the last report they need only 20 more runs to win which they will easily collect.
