Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

Karach kings outstanding performance today winning the close match by just 4 wickets against Lahore qakandars. Karachi kings team chase down the target in a loss of six wickets and chase down the target in last over of the match. Lahore qalandars openers Fakhar Zaman scored a well deserved half century and Mohammad Naeem also played a wonderful inning of 65 runs from just 29 balls with a strike rate 220 plus but other middle order bastman failed to play responsibly. The man of The Match award goes to Irfan Khan for his blasting batting performance scored 48 runs from just 21 balls and remian unbeaten in this run chase. After this victory Karachi kihgdity moved to the third position on point table.

In this important game Sultans elected to bat first after winning toss at Multan, but things have never been ideal for them from start as their batting lineup have terrible time, and they lost early wickets which bring them under pressure and Peshawar Zalmi are looking for having good time after poor start of their campaign.

After end of 16 overs now Sultans are having 90 for 7 David Willey and Ubaid Shah trying to have some recovery but it's looking not easy for them to have good target for Peshawar Zalmi which is now looking for win and have spot into top ranks while their next game is against Lahore Qalandars which are also looking not good with having 9 points from their 9 games and chance of elimination is also looming at them in case of lost game against Peshawar Zalmi.

[WatChe]

Today this game is very important for Peshawar Zalmi. Multan Sultans are already out of the race. They are at the bottom of the table and today we have to see if they will eliminate PZ from the race just like they themselves got out of the league.

The innings has started and right now Muhammad Rizwan opened the game with Yasir Shah. Peshawar Zalmi needs to put pressure here becasue they want to win it with good run rate, so firstly try to get at least 1 to 2 wickets in the first power play and then don't let Multan batsmen relax in the middle order.

Multan Sultans are giving poor performance right on there home ground. The batting scorecard of Sultans looks like that of a club level team. It's there 9th game and they are still not trying to win the game despite losing 7 games this season. One over left in Sultans innings and they have lost 9 wickets and their score is just 108. One the other side, Zalmi's are happy because if they win today's game their chances for qualifying for next round will increase.

Multan Sultans Vs Peshawar Zalmi

Two of the most least performing teams this season, Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi are going to play against each other today. Not much interest in today's match with respect to the PSL standings but this is going to be important match for both team for their own records. Multan Sultans had one win under their belt and they would want to make it a second win today. PZ also have won only three matches and it hasn't been a good season for them either.

Multan Sultan players have given a target of 108 runs, if you look at it, it is not such a good target and the batsmen of this team have not shown such a good performance due to which they could not score good runs. Tayyab Tahir and Shai Hope could have scored better runs if they played better. On the other hand, Peshawar Zalmi team needs 68 runs. If they continue playing like this, they can easily win. Saim Ayub is also playing very well and has scored 37 runs on twenty ball, which is the best run of today match. Hopefully, Peshawar team will win this match today.

It is foolish to expect anything better from Multan Sultan. The batsmen of this team are performing atrociously. I have not seen the batsmen of Multan batting well in a single match. Multan Sultan has lost 5 consecutive matches. Out of 98 matches, the team has won only one match.

Peshwar Zalmi is not in good form. However, this team is stronger than Multan. Moreover, Peshwar's bowlers have bowled very well today. As a result, Multan's players have given a small target of only 109 runs. Batting at this small target, Peshwar Zalmi has reached the target of victory in just 13 overs.

In every PSL, there is a team that shows poor performance throughout the league and is the first to drop out. This time, Multan Sultans are the team that has been losing matches repeatedly and is out of the league. In today's match, their performance was very disappointing, and they set a small target. Peshawar Zalmi is also not a stronger team that Multan can't handle, they are a little bit stronger. If Multan can stay on wickets, then they will win the match. However, Peshawar Zalmi is coming into their form, and they will soon beat the other teams the way they did against Islamabad United and Multan Sultans. This is the second time when Peshawar Zalmi bowled first, and they won that match. I don't know why, but this strategy works best for them.

Multan Sultans have proven to be one of weakest squads this season. If we look at their stats from all previous matches we can see that Multan Sultan squad secured victory in just one match and total they participated in a total 9 matches and were badly defeated in 8 of them. Today, Multan Sultan squad played quite shit and they just managed to collect 108 scores after playing 20 overs. Their top order batters just displayed some good performance and support their squad by collecting such scores 22, 23, 10 and 17 and but their middle and bottom orders expressed weak performance in case they faced a defeat with big difference. Ahmed Daniyal displayed quite amazing bowling inning and he picked up 3 wickets with other 2 more bowlers, who also support Peshawar Zalmi team to get victory. Max Bryant  and Saim Ayub both played wonderful inning with partnership and collecting 49 and 38 scores. Peshawar Zalmi squad successfully add 2 more points.

Multan Sultans are giving poor performance right on there home ground. The batting scorecard of Sultans looks like that of a club level team. It's there 9th game and they are still not trying to win the game despite losing 7 games this season. One over left in Sultans innings and they have lost 9 wickets and their score is just 108. One the other side, Zalmi's are happy because if they win today's game their chances for qualifying for next round will increase.  

If we look on the current PSL table condition. After the match between PZ and MS,  Quetta and Islamabad United are surely go to the play offs round. At the same time, on the third number Karachi Kings also secured their position in the top 3, but they are just above the Lahore Qalandars. Now there is only a single match left of Lahore Qalandars against Peshawar Zalmi, so PZ and Lahore Qalandars are in a very critical place, as well as Karachi Kings, but I think Lahore and PZ's situation would not affect Karachi's position, the main war is between PZ AND LQ.

Yeah in 25th game of Pakistan Super League was expected to be a competitive game but it ended one sided because Multan Sultans got eliminated at just 109 runs. Yasir Khan and Mohammad Rizwan opened the first innings from MS but its batting lineup was defeated badly by PZ's bowlers. Ahmad Daniyal got 3 wickets, making it hard to tackle. In this situation, MS could barely manage to score a target of 109 runs which was not a big target. In the second inning, PZ's openers scored a partnership of just 8 runs and then Babar Azam was to play one down. Babar Azam is compared with greatest player of India Virat Kohli but in my point of view its a time wasting topic. PZ defeated MS badly by 7 wickets as they achived the target in almost half of the alloted overs.

Yes, you are right multan sultan are the first team to officially out of tournament while Quetta gladiator is only team that official qualify for the super four of Pakistan super league. I think the main reason of Multan sultan is poor team selection and they didn't have experience players and middle order batters didn't play with responsibility. In this match Peshawar zalmi shown outstanding performance but they are still in number 5th position on point table with 8 points. Ahmed Daniyal young talented players picked three crucial wickets by just giving only 17 run with an impressive economy rate of 4 runs per over. Peshawar zalmi overall bowling performance today amazing Maaz Sadaqat also bowl wonderful picked two wickets and assisted Peshawar zalmi to win this match and stay alive in super four race of PSL

It was a great fight from Peshawar Zalmi as they deliver thier 100% performance to be in tournament, because in case of  defeat can turn things for them and somehow can become reason to kickout them from tournament, Maaz Sadaqat and the Ahmad daniyal the new sunsation were really doing ordinary and such substitution were really beneficial for Peshawar at that stage. Saim as well as bryant also manage to make a comeback which is quite good as still Peshawar has two opportunity to get into semifinals. I believe they should mustly focused on his last game against Lahore, as the point difference is just one. so if supposed Peshawar lose against Karachi then still victory against Lahore can revive thier position in playoff. So let's see how Peshawar mange to defend Lahore in thier do or die match.

Zalmi are currently at the 5th place in points table, out of a total of 6 teams. They have performed well in recent matches, but it will take a lot of effort from their side to qualify for the playoffs. They have two more matches remaining in group phase, and both are against tough teams (Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars). But given their current momentum, they should be able to overtake Qalandars to finish at the 4th place, or even better. All depends on Babar Azam and Ahmed Daniyal.

PZ is a strong team and better team MS team and wining the match of 25th and PZ team lost 4 games out of 8. PZ team won game by 7 wickets and 42 balls. The 25th match between PZ and MS was played at Multan Cricket Stadium. MS won the toss and batting first.. it is hoped that PZ will continue to play well in the future. The best batting performance in PZ man team was played by Saim Ayub scored 49 runs 33 balls hitting 4 fours and 3 sixs. Congratulations to PZ for their upcoming matches

Actually, the way Peshawar Zalmi started performing at the beginning of this Pakistan Super League, I thought that Peshawar Zalmi would always be at the bottom of the points table of this Pakistan Super League.
However, recently we have seen improvement in them, and their experienced players are trying to recover their form. And that is why they were able to achieve win in the previous match against a strong team like Islamabad United.
And in the previous match, the match with Multan Sultan was one of the easiest matches because in that match, Multan Sultan was all out for just 108 runs.

Today, there is no game of the Pakistan Super League, as it is a rest day for the teams, but tomorrow we will see the match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, both are in the top 2 positions and fighting to get the first position. As we all know, it helps the team in the Playoffs rounds, the top two teams will get another chance in knockout matches. Just five games are left now and then this PSL season will come to the most thrilling including the Qualifiers and Eliminators. Rawalpindi will host Qualifier 1 and the rest of the knockout games including the final will be played at Lahore.

This year's PSL does not seem very competitive to me. Although the squads are strong, they are not able to perform well. We have seen Islamabad United perform consistently well since the beginning of the season. But now the performance of this team is also very irregular. Especially the performance of the batsmen is not at all satisfactory.

We are not seeing good performance from Pakistani domestic players. In IPL, we see foreign players as well as domestic players performing well. But in PSL, Pakistani domestic players are also not able to do well. Even the performance of experienced players of the Pakistan national team is very irregular.

I thought Islamabad United would be the champion in this year's PSL. But this team has also lost badly. Quetta Gladiators are in the best form at the moment

The success of Peshawar Zalmi team yesterday is the result of their good performance and hard work and the target they gave was very good. In comparison, Multan Sultans performance was not good at all. If Usman Khan had played better, the game could have turned around. In comparison Peshawar Zalmi team is strong and they have won many such matches before. If the other team also works hard like them, they can win in the future. But in this match, Multan players did not show any performance and it is hoped that Peshawar team will continue to achieve such success in the future.

The PSL is going like the Pakistan national team, you can't predict any team. Sometimes they perform well, and other times they are irregular. They did not select good domestic players this time, even the international players are also not valuable this time. I am supporting Peshawar Zalmi, and in this team, Saim Ayub has completely collapsed. Babar is titled a king, but he is also irregular. For the few matches, new players were added, and they performed well for the team and made a comeback in the PSL. Currently, Peshawar Zalmi is looking good, and I think they will qualify for the final.

Before the season started, Zalmi were one of the favorites. And this was in part due to the presence of superstars such as Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Alzarri Joseph, but also due to promising players such as Luke Wood, Ahmed Daniyal and Maaz Sadaqat. But things didn't turned out that well for them, although their performance has improved in the recent matches. But the problem is that only two more matches remain in the group phase and Zalmi hasn't yet secured qualification to the knockout phase.

[noormcs5]

Today, the top two teams Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators will play against each other. Quetta Gladiators are winning back-to-back games, while on the other hand, Islamabad United are losing thier recent games that they played.

In the early stages of the league, IU were unbeaten, but now the opponent teams understood their techniques to play and other teams are dominating them. However, just some of the games are left, and they are surely going to play the play-off rounds. It is their second last match. Quetta Gladiators is at number 1 and if IU wins this game, they will regain their top position.

[virasog]

Today, the top two teams Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators will play against each other. Quetta Gladiators are winning back-to-back games, while on the other hand, Islamabad United are losing thier recent games that they played.

Quetta Gladiators are showing great strength against the top team Islamabad United. Rilee Rossouw played a great innings of 104 runs. He used only 46 balls to make this score and because of this innings, Quetta Gladiators are able to make 263 runs. I think this is a match-winning score as Islamabad do not have the batsmen to chase it, and also when you're pursuing such a high score, a loss of one or two quick wickets will put the team on the back foot.

After seeing their (QG) batting performance, I am confident that they have a greater chance of winning this year's IPL.
