Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[Compromise me]

Abrar Ahmed badly destroyed the PZ's middle order. Mohammad Amir took the first wicket and the last wicket. He gave the team a boost by taking the first wicket and boosting his team's confidence. Later, Abrar Ahmed came and did not relax the situation. Instead he was taking wickets, though his economy rate was on the high side. I think Quetta Gladiators could be the strongest team of this season as they have a wonderful batting attack, Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen and the middle order is also strong, while the bowlers they have Abrar Ahmed and Muhammad Amir, those are really helpful for the team.

Lahore Qalandars cricket team is playing well in this match because they made 138 runs in just 13.4 overs. Lahore Qalandars team have to make 200 + runs to be dominant in this match. Fakhar Zaman is not out and he is playing with score of 66 runs and he played only 36 balls in this match. Daryl Mitchell is also good player and he is playing well in this match and he played 34 runs in just 21 balls. Mohammed Amir is giving more runs in this match because he did 2 overs in this match and gave 17 runs.There will be good score in this match and Quettta Gladiators have to chase big score to win this match because Lahore Qalandars team has hard hitters and they have capability to make 220 runs in this match.

The third match of the Pakistan Super League saw a lot of hard-fought battles. In the third match, Multan Sultans batted first and managed to score 234 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the allotted 20 overs, which resulted in a target of 235 runs for Karachi Kings. When Karachi Kings came out to bat with a target of 235 runs, they batted aggressively from the beginning and were able to score good runs in every over and finally Karachi Kings reached their target in 19.2 overs. In the first match, we saw no big scores, in the second match, one team scored big but the other team lost by a big margin, but in the third match, we saw big scores from both teams.
There is another big match in the Pakistan Super League today, where Quetta Gladiators will take the field against Lahore Qalandars. Hopefully, we will see a big score for the team in this match too.

Yes, the match was very thrilling between them, every second was full of suspense. This was the first match in this PSL that saw a high score. In 120 balls, 235 runs is a very big target. Both teams did their best performance. From the Multan side, they were satisfied that they set a high target and would win the match, but when the Kings came to the field, they changed the whole scenario, chasing the target in 19 overs. If the target had been more than 235, then I think they would have chased it too. Today, one thing was clear, Multan and Karachi Kings will both be stronger teams for this PSL, and they proved it in their first match.

In the Peshawar Zalmi match, I thought they would show a better performance, but they lost their first match, and the fans were disappointed. However, that was just the first match, I hope they will not show that performance again.

In this match Lahore team did not have that hope and thought but they have proved by batting brilliantly in this match that if they work hard, they can win this year league. If they work hard and play well they can win the next match as well. Lahore Qalandars batsmen have put Quetta batsmen in trouble because they could not make any kind of hard bowling impact and their batsmen have given a good and strong target of 219, which is a big target so far. If their bowling is also strong, then they will get an early and easy win today. Their bowler has taken 3 wickets of Quetta batsmen in 4 overs, who are playing very well. If they had played this first match also like this they would have had all the points by now but now they have to play all the matches with hard work.

Lahore Qalandars after losing their first match against Islamabad United, come back strongly in this game against Quetta Gladiators. They won the match by good 79 runs. Batting first they put on 219 runs. Thanks to Fakhar Zaman who played a brilliant innings of 67 runs. Other players also had their eye in and batted good but it was Sam Billings due to whom Lahore team was able to make such a big total. He completed his half century in only 19 balls and remained not out. I think he should be the player of the match but it was award to the opener, Fakhar Zaman.

Yes, Lahore Qalandar team outstanding performance in its second match of the tournament and winning the match by huge 79 runs margin against Quetta gladiator. While chasing down a big target of 200 runs Quetta gladiator only managed to score 140 runs bowled out. The man of the moment is Fakhar Zaman for his wonderful batting display added important 67 runs to team total . From Lahore qalander Sam Billings blasting batting performance scored a well deserved half century in just 18 balls and assisted his team to scored a huge 220 runs target on board. The bowling performance of lahore qalander is also amazing to watch especially Rishad Hossain spin bowled picked three important wickets by giving only 31 runs and Shaheen Shah afardi also bowl well picked two crucial wickets and limited Quetta gladiator under 140 runs and easily won this match.

[Fuso.hp]

There is another big match in the Pakistan Super League today, where Quetta Gladiators will take the field against Lahore Qalandars. Hopefully, we will see a big score for the team in this match too.

With so many leagues , it seems like I'm in a that situation about which league to leave out and which league to keep on my watch list. I had forgotten that the Pakistan Super League has already been started.

As you said, when multiple leagues are being held at the same time, it is actually difficult for cricket fans to make a decision on which league to follow. In other seasons of Pakistan Super League, we have seen many big stars playing in Pakistan Super League, but this season we are missing those stars and it is normal to miss them because IPL is always at the top of the list of cricketers' preferences, so except for IPL, usually all the stars will not come to play in Pakistan Super League.
All the players who are currently playing in Pakistan Super League did not get any team in IPL auction, that is why they chose Pakistan Super League as their second choice.

I don't know why Pakistan Cricket Board took such a decision, if they had taken a little more time and organized this tournament after one to one and a half months, then maybe they would have benefited in all aspects and we would have also watched Pakistan Super League matches regularly.

It's true that Quetta has several power hitter to divert match results in any crucial mounting pressure situation, but yeh from several recent matches at pindi track we got that mostly chasing team struggle, may be due to factor of dew or something else and that what we have seen against Quetta, and thus evening having master blaster squad still they even unable to scored 150. While on the other hand Lahore done phenomenal from start till end, as thier opening duo deliver ordinary and set momentum for his team. later some shocking innings of billing really push them ahead and  some awesome spell of Shaheen and Bangladesh spin magician get the game for his team.

QG chased total runs for 140 and lost the match by 79. I hope QG they will play better in the next match. From my side QG didn't play the match very well and made very few runs and lost. The best bowling performance in LQ team was by Rishad Hossain bowled 4 over and conceded 31 runs and took 3 wickets. Congratulations to LQ for their upcoming matches.

Islamabad United Vs Peshawar Zalmi

Today is the match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi. Peshawar Zalmi already lost their first game so they are at the bottom of the table, having 6th position and already thier run rate is in minus so they must win this game to get a higher position. In the last match they were facing Quetta Gladiators where Babar Azam was out on the very first over, so this time Babar Azam and Saim Ayub, both of them should make a partnership and shouldn't go for early boundaries.

[Out of mind]

Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi may not be a very exciting match between these two teams. We have seen that Islamabad United won their first match brilliantly and they are in the second position of the points table. On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi has played one match and lost there, so they are at the bottom of the points table. If they can play strongly against Islamabad United in today's match, then Peshawar Zalmi will definitely have a chance to win. However, Islamabad United will play with their best performance to win today's match, and since their batting and bowling are improved, they will try to perform better.

[Unknown Op]

In this match Lahore team did not have that hope and thought but they have proved by batting brilliantly in this match that if they work hard, they can win this year league. If they work hard and play well they can win the next match as well. Lahore Qalandars batsmen have put Quetta batsmen in trouble because they could not make any kind of hard bowling impact and their batsmen have given a good and strong target of 219, which is a big target so far. If their bowling is also strong, then they will get an early and easy win today. Their bowler has taken 3 wickets of Quetta batsmen in 4 overs, who are playing very well. If they had played this first match also like this they would have had all the points by now but now they have to play all the matches with hard work.

Lahore Qalandars after losing their first match against Islamabad United, come back strongly in this game against Quetta Gladiators. They won the match by good 79 runs. Batting first they put on 219 runs. Thanks to Fakhar Zaman who played a brilliant innings of 67 runs. Other players also had their eye in and batted good but it was Sam Billings due to whom Lahore team was able to make such a big total. He completed his half century in only 19 balls and remained not out. I think he should be the player of the match but it was award to the opener, Fakhar Zaman.

Yes, I also surprised by the performance of Lahore Qalandars squad against Quetta Gladiator squad. Lahore Qalandars faced a very bad defeat in the first match of league and they gave a easy victory to opponent squad Islamabad United squad. But in yesterday match Quetta Gladiator squad against Lahore Qalandars squad, they defeated Quetta Gladiator squad very well and they collected very huge scores in first inning of total 219 scores. On other side, Quetta Gladiator squad who destroyed their opponent in first match but badly they unable to beat Lahore Qalandars squad. Lahore Qalandars squad succeeded to get victory just by displaying strong performance in batting and Fakhar Zaman played aggressively and he collected 67 scores. Sam Billings performance was also amazing with 50 scores and not out.

Next we will see the match among Islamabad United squad and Peshawar Zalmi squad and this match will start after couple of time.

Peshawar Zalmi already lost their first game so they are at the bottom of the table, having 6th position and already thier run rate is in minus so they must win this game to get a higher position. In the last match they were facing Quetta Gladiators where Babar Azam was out on the very first over, so this time Babar Azam and Saim Ayub, both of them should make a partnership and shouldn't go for early boundaries.

Both teams knew the pitch condition. Islamabad United played at Rawalpindi against Lahore Qalandars and won that game, while the next game was played at the same venue between Peshawar and Quetta, so both teams know the pitch conditions very well.

I think today Islamabad United has more chances to win this game, as they won the previous match. At the same time, their captain Shadab Khan is back in form. Last time, he got 3 wickets, but Jason Holder got four wickets. So, the bowling attack is so good, while if you see power-hit batting, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Agha, and Colin Munro are also good.

Peshawar Zalmi has players like Babar Azam and Saim Ayub that have the ability to play long innings. After losing there opening game, Peshawar Zalmis will try their best today to win their first game of the  tournament.

Islamabad United got an easy win in their opening game, Lahore Qalandars were bowled out for just 139 runs because of fantastic spell by Shadab and Holder. It won't be easy for Peshawar Zalmis to beat Islamabad unless they produce some outstanding performance in batting and bowling. My vote for today's game is in favour of Islamabad United.

Sahibzada Farhan He has performed best in this match as an opening batsman, he has scored a century in a short time and his total runs have been 106 runs in 52 balls. If he cannot perform well in this match, then Islamabad United's run rate would not have gone so far in this match, because Sahibzada was the only attacking batsman of Islamabad United team. If the current two players Salman Agha and Holder can make a long partnership, then Islamabad United team will definitely be able to score more runs.
Because Islamabad United team's run collection so far has collected 189 runs in 16.3 balls, losing 4 wickets, if Islamabad United team can perform like this, then they will definitely be able to score 200 plus runs and have enough chances to win this match.

[virasog]

Peshawar Zalmi has players like Babar Azam and Saim Ayub that have the ability to play long innings. After losing there opening game, Peshawar Zalmis will try their best today to win their first game of the  tournament.

I don't think that Peshawar Zalmi would be able to win this match. The reason is that Islamabad United are playing at the run rate of over 11 runs an over and with this momentum, you won't be surprised see them scoring 230-240 runs in this match.

From Islamabad United, it was Sahibzada Farhan who made a century right at the top and since the beginning of this innings, we have been seeing them batting at a rapid pace. Andries Gous was run out early in the innings, but other than that we didn't see any lose shots from any of the IU batsmen.

[Compromise me]

This game was won Lahore Qalandars team and 4th game was played between Lahore Qalandars team and Quetta Gladiator team and Quetta Gladiator lost 1 T20 game in tournament out of 2. LQ won by 79 runs. QG won toss and they elected to bowl first. The 4th match between LQ 
and QG was played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. LQ and QG both teams are good and have great players in team. LQ posted a record total runs 219/6 and won the match. QG chased total runs for 140 and lost the match by 79. I hope QG they will play better in the next match. From my side QG didn't play the match very well and made very few runs and lost. The best bowling performance in LQ team was by Rishad Hossain bowled 4 over and conceded 31 runs and took 3 wickets. Congratulations to LQ for their upcoming matches.

Fakhar Zaman was top performer of this match because he made 67 runs in this match and played only 39 runs in this match. And that was the reason,he got player of the match in this match. Sam Billings played very fast in this match and he made half century in just 19 balls . We are watching back to back 200 runs in most of  matches of league matches because we are watching IPL ang PSL in parallel. Quetta Gladiators cricket team could not chase in this match and that team lost the match by big margin but they have capability to bounce back and they will try to come back in next matches and we will see good results in the favour of that team.Quetta Gladiators batters could not chase that score but they have to chase that kind of score of they want to be champions.

Islamabad United have scored 243 runs in there 20 overs. Peshawar got early breakthrough by getting wicket of Andries Gous but after that Farhan along with Munro thrashed Peshawar bowling. Farhan played 52 balls and scored 106 runs that include five 6s and thirteen 4s. It's not an easy job to score 244 runs batting second but as I said earlier that Peshawar has players like Babar and Saim that have the capacity and capability to play big innings. If Islamabad team can get wickets of both of them early on then match will be under there control.

I am interested in this match of this league and the victory of Lahore Qalandar because in these matches, hard work and dedication are seen from both sides and it is fun to watch the match only when there is hard work and strength from both sides. The way Islamabad is playing, they will win the final of this league and will win this year too. Their batsmen have scored 236 runs in 20 overs, which is the strongest and biggest target so far. Islamabad has surprised everyone in this match with the runs they have scored, Peshawar Zalmi will also be worried about how and with how much effort they will complete this target. Because Islamabad bowling will also be tough in this match, which will make it difficult for Peshawar to win this match. Islamabad also seems to be dominating everyone and is winning the match. We have guessed this victory from Islamabad target, but for now Peshawar will bat with their own bat.

[Just Say]

I found the match that took place yesterday at the Rawalpindi Stadium in the Pakistan Super League very entertaining. In this match in particular, it was witnessed that there was extreme stubbornness among every player in the Lahore Qalandars team. From what I saw in this match, when Rossouw was batting he hit a six off a ball from Rishad Hossain but he was bowled out on the next ball.

This proves that they were very focused on the game and they were very stubborn. Lahore Qalandars could not take advantage in the first match but many have seen that they turned things around in the second match.

[Cheema02]

I don't think that Peshawar Zalmi would be able to win this match. The reason is that Islamabad United are playing at the run rate of over 11 runs an over and with this momentum, you won't be surprised see them scoring 230-240 runs in this match.

From Islamabad United, it was Sahibzada Farhan who made a century right at the top and since the beginning of this innings, we have been seeing them batting at a rapid pace. Andries Gous was run out early in the innings, but other than that we didn't see any lose shots from any of the IU batsmen.

Yes, you are right the chances of Peshawar Zalmi went down when Islamabad United scored a huge total of 244 runs on board. Peshawar Zalmi is on the way to chasing the target current score is 125 runs in a loss of seven wickets to in the 15th over of the match. Peshawar Zalmi needs 119 more runs from just 30 balls to win this match which seems very difficult for now because already seven wickets down. The chance of Islamabad United is very high because the required run rate just crosses 23 runs per over to win the match. In the last five overs, Peshawar Zalmi lost three quick wickets and added just 39 runs which added more pressure on the team. From Peshawar Zalmi Muhammad Harris playing a very responsible inning currently playing at 76 runs from just 41 balls but no other player supports him.
