Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[JunaidAzizi]

In the match today, If Quetta gets wickets in the first three overs, they are going to win the match. As we have seen when both of the teams were playing against each other last time, Muhammad Amir out to Babar Azam at the very first over and then Peshawar's remaining batsmen could not make a good score. At the end of that match, Quetta won the game.

I think almost half of the game depends on these first overs and then it’s all about Muhammad Amir, Quetta’s best fast bowler. In the upcoming few minutes, we are going to see Babar Azam vs. Muhammad Amir, the most-awaited rivalry in PSL.

They are done with taking two big wickets of Peshawar Zalmi, one is Saim Ayub and the second is Babar Azam. Now the third wicket is also down, which is Cadmore. These are big players, and they didn't score well. The whole match is now dependent on Haris, but he alone can't chase such a big target. The target is very high for now, and there are very minimal numbers of overs left, which seems impossible to cover with the middle order. If Haris is out, then Peshawar Zalmi will not win this match and will be eliminated from the league soon. I hope they will win the match.

I think almost half of the game depends on these first overs and then it’s all about Muhammad Amir, Quetta’s best fast bowler. In the upcoming few minutes, we are going to see Babar Azam vs. Muhammad Amir, the most-awaited rivalry in PSL.

Quetta Gladiators batsmen have done a good job by scoring 178 runs in 20 overs. Alzarri Joseph picked 3 wickets while Saim Ayub got 2 wickets. Peshawar Zalmi team is batting and in 2 overs they have lost key wicket of Saim Ayub and now everyone looking to see how Babar Azam will tackle Muhammad Amir. If Quetta is able to pick wicket of Babar Azam in first five overs then Quetta has a chance of winning the game. Babar Azam is a dangerous batsmen and has the capability to take the game away from the opponent team.

Peshawar Zalmi batting has been collapse in this match because they are struggling in this match and their score is just 65 with fall of 5 wickets in this match and Quetta Gladiators cricket team is dominant in this match because Muhammad Amir made pressure when he took wicket of Baber Azam. Now , 112 runs are required in just 66 balls . Quetta Gladiators players played well in this match and gave good target in this match and Chapman was top scorer but many players made 30 + runs in this match for the team and all team score was 178 in this match .Hussain Talat and Mitchell Owen are present on the crease and they have capability to make good partnership at that moment because they required partnership to win this match because more runs are required.

Quetta got important wicket of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam in first three overs and that's main reason why there is panic in Peshawar batting lineup. Seven wickets have gone down so far and no Peshawar batsmen is able to play an innings of 30s, in fact no Peshawar player is able to make it to twenties so far. Faheem Ashraf got 3 breakthroughs while Khurram Shahzad got 2 wickets. Muhammad Amir got one wicket only but it's wicket of big fish i.e. Babar Azam.

Lahore Qalandars won the game against Multan Sultan. Multan tried well as they were batting first and scored 185, close to 200 but if they had scored 10 to 15 runs more they would have won the game. However, it is a part of the game; there are only two things: win or learn. Now I hope Multan will learn from their mistakes and they will not repeat them again. Though the they out of the title race for this PSL season
Daryl Mitchell was named as the player of the game by scoring 64 runs and he also took a single wicket. Lahore's team is in the second position now, while Islamabad is in the number 1 position being unbeaten so far.

A great PSL match is being played in which we will get to see the hard work and efforts of both sides because both these teams have played well and are winning most of their matches. If I talk about the most wins among these teams, then it is Quetta who has won recently and Peshawar Zalmi who has weakened themselves a little with their hard work and efforts. Because we did not get to see much success in the beginning of the league and because of this, it is not so weak now, but we will get to see their matches with interest. The way Quetta batted, they have the possibility of winning, but their bowling is bad, they can also get defeated. But their bowling is quite good and tough, which makes it difficult for Peshawar to win the match because their batsmen need 98 runs, which is very high.

But match was finished in favor of Quetta Gladiators no doubt, It was amazing match but I did not expect Peshawar Zalmi squad to play like this. Before ending of Quetta Gladiator inning, I was sure they would bravely face Quetta Gladiators but all my expectations turned out to be wrong. Peshawar Zalmi squad faced bad defeat with 64 scores. Their top order batters Saim Ayub, Babar Azam and Tom Kohler-Cadmore displayed quite bad performance and did not face bowling of Quetta Gladiator squad. Saim Ayub wicket was picked by Faheem Ashraf bowler in second over and Babar Azam wicket was wiped out Mohammed Amir in 3rd over and these two batters are good support of Peshawar Zalmi squad and lose those wickets, next batters played their inning in burden. Faheem Ashraf played crucial role in victory and he picked up 5 important wickets of Peshawar Zalmi squad.

After giving Quetta Gladiators a target of 179 runs, I was sure that the team was going to win today. But I did not think that Quetta Gladiators would win by a big margin of 64 runs. Quetta Gladiators' batsmen as well as their bowlers were able to perform well today.

We saw good batting by Peshawar's batsmen in the last match against Lahore. Peshawar reached the target of 130 runs in 16.4 overs. But Peshawar's total in today's match was only 114 runs. Except Hussain Talat, no other batsman of Peshawar could bat well. Faheem Ashraf took 5 important wickets.

For me responsible of that defeat was Peshawar Zalmi batting lineup, because we have seen in recent game where Lahore even chased 180+ and on the other hand Peshawar just able to hit the 110 around which is unacceptable, it's true that compared to Multan Quetta has quite decent bowling lineup, but looking to Peshawar batting potential it isn't look like impossible to be meet. but some unacceptable consecutive mistakes of several player costs them that defeat. Saim and TKC were consecutively giving away thier wicket without any proper resistance, and that what restrict them to match the big target. Now Peshawar has just 4 more games left to play and that's mandatory wins for them in order to qualify for next round which I don't think will actually happened.

Peshawar Zalmi batsmen failed to bat and people were disappointed to see their batting. They had a poor start when the openers lost their wickets and never recovered, as they kept on losing wickets. Babar Azam failed once again and that also shattered thier hopes to chase this big target. They had lost five wickets when the score was only 50 and at that moment the team have already given up the chase. It was only a matter of how long they could bat to avoid a negative run rate but still they were all out in the 15.2 overs making only 114 runs.

No game today in PSL series and yesterday one game was concluded between QG team and PZ team. In this game, QG team looked so strong team than PZ team and they beated PZ team by big margin. QG team set 178 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Opening was quite good of QG team and these were two opener batsman Saud and Finn, Saud made 32 runs and Finn scored 31 runs. Mark effort was also quite great and he also made 33 runs in 26 balls and hitted three 4s. But PZ team showed very poor effort and they chased down only 114 runs and lost game by 64 runs. Faheem bowler took down 5 wickets in 3.2 overs and gave 33 runs. Talat played very good from PZ team but his effort was not benefit for team and all other batsman performed poor that's why they lost yesterday game poorly. Congratulations one more win QG team and best wishes to next games.

The points summary of Pakistan Super League is described as Islamabad United has the top position with 10 points. IU deserves an award for great victories against every team of PSL. The winner team of last PSL series, Lahore Qalandars hasn't performed well this time because it has won just 3 games out of 6. Quetta Gladiators has played total 5 games out of which 2 games have lost. Karachi Kings has 6 points but run rate is -0.2. Peshawar Zalmi has won just 2 games out of 6 so there is no chance to win this series. Multan Sultan will also be disqualified as it has just 2 points. In my opinion, first Semi-final will be played between IU and LQ and the winning game will go to the finals. Let's see what is going to happen in the final games.

Islamabad United has so far played 5 matches, winning all of them. For them, the stars have been Sahibzada Farhan, Colin Munro and Andries Gous with the bat, while in the bowling department Jason Holder, Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim have been performing exceptionally. For Islamabad, the next match will be played tomorrow, when they take on Lahore Qalandars. Qalandars are at the second position in points table, but there is a massive 4 points difference between them and United.

Quetta Gladiators Vs Multan Sultans

So after the gap of one day, we will today witness the match between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators. Multan Sultans have been losing all the matches recently and their captain Mohammad Rizwan isn't able to boost his team's confidence. Even his form as a batsman hasn't been all that good. They are at the last position and there is no hope left for them in this season. They were only able to win against Lahore Qalandars. I think today it would be easy to bet on Quetta Gladiators but you will get low odds for them.

Multan Sultan are losing their wickets too quickly already six down for only sixty runs. They are certainly not able to play the game and their key players like Yasir Khan, Usman Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed got out except Muhammad Rizwan who is still playing but he is not able to take them to a good total alone.

He needs a partner, but at this stage he cannot find a partner. There is only one solution to play fast, don't think about wickets and just go for boundaries, that is the only way to deal with the situation in a do or die manner. Today Muhammad Amir has not got any wickets, he delivered so good bowlers helping Quetta to make pressure.

Quetta Gladiators seem to be winning this game. In the next few upcoming overs, the first innings will finish and right now Quetta has not even touched 100 runs and batting on the very last wicket, Muhammad Rizwan and Ubaid Shah are playing right now.

Khurram Shahzad did wonderful bowling today as he took 4 wickets and now the entire game is dependent on the Multan Sultan bowlers that is not strong. Ubaid Shah, Muhammad Husnain, Usama Mir, Iftikhar Ahmed and David Jonathan Willey may not able to get early wickets, this is very weak bowling line up so the good hopes aren't coming for them.

Faheem Ashraf played crucial role in victory and he picked up 5 important wickets of Peshawar Zalmi squad.

Quetta Gladiator is a strong team and wining the match 17th and total they won 3 games/5 games. Quetta won game by 64 runs. The 17th match between Quetta and Zalmi was played at Gaddafi Stadium. Zalmi won the toss and elected to fielding first. Quetta is a very good team and played good games. it is hoped that they will continue to play well in the future. I hope Zalmi they will play better in the future matches. Quetta set a record total runs for 178 won very easy game. Zalmi team failed to chased a total runs for 114 and lost the match. The best bowling performance in the Quetta team was by Faheem Ashraf  bowled 3.3 overs and took 5 wickets and gave 33 runs.

Multan Sultan are almost out of PSL since they have won only one out of seven games they have played so far. Today the batting of Sultans collapsed in front of Quetta bowling, due to Muhammad Rizwan 44 runs unbeaten innings Sultans avoided humiliation and scored 89 runs. The other batsmen to make it to double figure was Usama Mir. Khurram Shahzad was in highlight today because of his 4 wicket spell, he has only played test matches for Pakistan but this performance will surely impress selectors for T20 format.

Yes, they are now out from the PSL. They have only won 1 match and lost 6 matches, and their points are in the negative, so with this, they can't survive in this league. Besides their collective poor performance in today's match, Rizwan was good enough to make 44 runs alone and was not out till the end.

Khurram Shehzad did amazing bowling in today's match, taking 4 wickets, the first 4 wickets he took. This is amazing. I am so shocked by his performance in today's match, and with this bowling, how can a batsman stand and make runs? Multan does not have the capability to turn that pressure into their strength and make good runs, and they collapsed against the Quetta Gladiators bowlers.

Quetta Gladiators extraordinary bowling performance today match beat Multan Sultans by 10 wickets. Quetta Gladiators this performance improved their net run rate a lot and they moved to second position on point table. Multan Sultans disappointed batting performance bowled our team at just 89 runs. The man of The Match is Khurram Shahzad for his wonderful bowling performance picked four important wickets by just giving only 23 runs with an impressive economy rate of under 6 runs over and restricted Multan Sultans under 90 runs. Quetta Gladiators chase down this small total of 90 runs without loss of any wicket in just 7th over of the match. Finn Allen and Soud Shakeel played very aggressively, finn allen scored 45 runs from just 21 balls, they missed his half century because target was chased down while Soud shakeel also played a classical inning of 41 runs from just 20 balls and improved their net run rate.

I had already predicted in my previous post that Quetta Gladiators squad would win this match simply and quickly by playing half inning. But Quetta Gladiators achieved victory even earlier than I had expected and they almost completed Multan Sultans’ entire score within just 7 overs. In standing table, Multan Sultan squad condition is quite bad and they were participated in 7 matches and they just achieved victory in just one match and all remaining matches they lost. In today's match, Multan Sultan was restricted at 89 scores just after playing 20 overs and that was quite simple and easy scores. This would be only possible by their great performance of Khurram Shahzad and other bowlers Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Wasim. In batting side, both Finn Allen and Saud Shakeel both starter enough for this scores and both collected 42 and 45 scores respectively.

Yeh it's worst ever Season for Multan Sultan, because they never delivered such kind of results ever in any season since they become part of Pakistan super league. but now they were looking completely off colour even having same name, but still they unable to get they momentum to shift things. Anyway it was a craziest every match to watch, because rest of Multan Sultan team even unable to cross 100 and departure rest of lineup few overs before. while on the other hand Quetta opener collect the required in just seven over which was crazy. For me the responsible of that victory were Quetta bowling lineup, because they were they one whome restrict top class player on such low target. Anyway Multan are officially out of tournament.
