Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread

[noormcs5]

PZ was too good in group stage, they won 8 games while lost only one game. In first qualifier, PZ has given a target of 221 runs. Babar Azam played brilliantly and scored a century. Once again we saw good partnership between Mendis and Babar, they both scored 84 runs. Shadab Khan got 3 wickets but conceded 42 runs in his 4 overs. IU batting is in progress and they are not in good position because they required 127 runs in last 10 overs. If PZ won today game then they will be just one step away from lifting the PSL trophy.

Babar Azam, with his second century in this PSL, is in his prime and best form. Also, he was not feeling pressure about hitting shots, you name the shot, and he was playing it. Scored with a wonderful and great six, totally significant well right now Peshawar Zalmi in the finals and now they are patiently waiting for the day to come to hand over the trophy. Babar Azam is leading from the front and playing a crucial role in Peshawar Zalmi's success.

Babar Azam unbelievable batting performance in this important match of PSL winning the match easily with huge margin and qualify for the final of PSL. Peshawar Zalmi playing the final for the fifth time in all psl league. Islamabad United disappointed bowling performance im this match except Shadab Khan spell picked three important wickets but his alone efforts didn't win match because Babar Azam set the tone for Peshawar Zalmi. The man of match performance by king Babar Azam for playing a responsible inning scoring a well deserved century and his 103 runs will be play crucial role in winning of Peshawar zalmi. I hope Peshawar Zalmi will be favourite now to win PSL final this year because they just need one more win to become champion of PSL 2026

Babar was in his full best form today and he played very well in many games during this PSL series. This was 2 nd century of Babar in this PSL. Congratulations to PZ on qualifying for final game. 1 st Qualifier game between PZ and IU team was played today and this game was held at National Stadium. IU team won toss and select fielding first and gave batting line to PZ team. PZ batsmen set 221 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Babar helped alot team to win this game and he made brilliant century today 103 runs in 59 balls and hitted twelve 4s and four 6s. Kusal also batted well with Babar and their duo was outstanding and both also performed great in past game and Kusal made 41 runs in 26 balls and hitted five 4s and one 6s. IU team failed to chase target and lost Qualifier game by 70 big runs. Aaron howler bowled out 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 24 balls. Tomorrow Eliminator 1 game will play between HHK team and MS team and lets see who will win this game.

I'm a big babar Fan but sad to say that we haven't and we don't see such performances from him in international cricket. I don't understand why is it so, is it because he has pressure? so is here. Are the opponents good??, international players also play here. Like what could be the reason that he isn't able to perform in international. Whatever, we should praise his performance not criticise him, he is one of the best players Pakistan has produced and if he plays in such form for a few years then he might become The best player they have produced. Moreover, PESHAWAR IS ONTO THE FINALSSSSS!! 💛 good to see this moment after ages.

To be fair to Babar Azam, he regained his form only recently, during this edition of the Pakistan Super League. And the main reason why Peshawar Zalmi has qualified for the finals is the exceptional performance from both Babar and Kusal Mendis. BTW Zalmi would be the favorites to win the finals as well. We don't know who will be the opponents, but there will be some clarity after today's Eliminator 1 match between Hyderabad Kingsmen and Multan Sultans is completed. Kingsmen are in great form and has the momentum with them and I would expect them to play the final against Zalmi.

Peshawar Zalmi is absolutely at the top due to their impressive depth in batting and bowling. Their squad is doing a good job this season. All the players are having good performance they deserve to be in the final. While now, who is coming to face them? It's surely not easy because Islamabad United can fight back, while Multan Sultans are also having a good season.
 
They are doing well, while their match against Hyderabad Kingsmen is going to be challenging because now the Kingsmen are in good touch, and they have a chance to go through to qualifier 2. Even the Kingsmen are in good touch, but still I am expecting Multan Sultans will be in the final to entertain Peshawar Zalmi, but still anybody can play.

Peshawar Zalmi are in the finals due to their wonderful effort since the start of the league and now they truly deserve to win the final game, by the way it is all about the point of view if you see the league as a fan of Hyderabad Kingsmen you hope for them because of their come back at the same time, you may hope for Multan Sultan because they had very poor luck in previous seasons, many times qualified for the finals but lost it. On the other hand, Islamabad still has a chance to make it to the finals.

That's true and what I wanted to say was that we don't see this kind of performance from him in the international cricket. He plays good bit not like this as he is playing in PSL, like getting 2 Centuries in a single tournament and being the top score but yeah it is what it is we can't do anything we can just hope he shifts this form into international as well. Moreover talking about HYK vs MS Hyderabad have won the match comfortably and it seems such that Islamabad would also have tough time with HYK an they Might even lose against them bcz they are in top form. It will be good to see Saim play the final against his former team and see what he feels after losing  

[ZAINmalik75]

What a great match played by Peshawar Zalmi players.

All credit goes to Babar Azam he played amazingly in this match.

In this season Babar Azam is doing an amazing job for his team. He is currently the highest scorer and he is also showing great captaincy.

What do you guys think will he show that level of performance in international cricket or not? Is he back in his form or not?

Well it's true baber has done phenomenal yesterday but I think it's team effort and for me any major individual performance can't get green results for a team in long run, so they has to continue thier team work follow thier plan and tactics till secure the shining trophy of hbl PSL, no doubt till now baber leadership has really huge impact in term of team as well as his own performance and a single more win will make him one of successful captain of the season.

While regarding international performance so I think it's really depends on game plan also his role and condition, but I am damn sure ling is back in true colors and roaring for his throne on top.

As we all know that Peshawar Zalmi team does not lose to any team and in this match they have faced Islamabad team which is a very good team but not a better or stronger team than Shawar team and this match is proof of that Babar Azam made 103 in this match and the rest of the team together set a target of 221 runs and they have some very important match because this match is a qualified match and the team that wins this match would get a chance to advance and this number please Peshawar team took. Islamabad team scored a total of 157 runs before the overs were over. Name any player of Islamabad team who has done something special in the match but in the previous matches so many players had good performance while Islamabad team was playing against some other team. Look this time they have faced a very strong team which has defeated them by 70 runs.

Yup agree, however Babar Azam century was full of power hitting, he was not preferring to run between the wickets overs long shots and boundaries, it was so joyful to see his previous game. The main reason for this is, of course, that fans came to the ground before there were very boring games, because there was no fan to cheer their team, and the second reason was Babar Azam's century. With four sixes and unlimited fours, he made a wonderful achievement.

In the previous editions, Peshawar Zalmi were struggling to even qualify for the playoffs, and if they somehow qualified, they faced trouble while making it into the final and lost the match there but now Peshawar Zalmi are in a different mood. They are in a new era and so far have dominated every team in this PSL.

The next step for them is very close and it is also the final step. Zalmi batsmen are on the track, so I think they just need to carry out the momentum that they have built, and secondly, the bowling order needs to be so precise that they always try to dominate in the power play.

Honestly, many of us thought Hyderabad Kingsmen would be at the bottom of the points table because they had lost 4 consecutive matches but they are one match away from the final match and their comeback has surprised everyone. Tomorrow, Hyderabad Kingsmen and Islamabad United will face each other in the Eliminator 2 match, the team that wins this match will qualify for the final. Anyway, Hyderabad Kingsmen participated in the Pakistan Super League for the first time but they have reached the Eliminator 2 match which is a big achievement for them. But let's see if HYDK can reach the final.

PSZ has qualified for the final. I think PSZ will be the champions.

I have a feeling that Kingsmen will win the trophy this time.

In case they manage to win the Eliminator 2 match (vs Islamabad United), then I would say that it would be an excellent option to bet in their favor for the finals. Given how strong Zalmi has performed, none of the sportsbooks will be having Kingsmen as the favorites, despite the fact that they have the momentum. And that will make betting for them very attractive. BTW, for the Eliminator 2 match United are the favorites as per Stake (I don't agree with the odds).

This match was played between the Hyderabad and Multan teams in which the Multan team has shown a very poor and poor performance. All their players have batted very badly. Only one player has batted well no one else has supported him because he has played well. We should also support our team by supporting him. lThe target has been set well, but the players have scored very little. Some players have been out after scoring a few runs. Only one player is Shan Masood, who has not been out while scoring 69 runs. All the other players have scored very little. Hyderabad  completed 162 runs only two of their players have achieved the target, out of which two players have scored due to which they have been able to easily meet the target. If the rest of them have scored a little, then they have supported their team, due to which they have won this match.

When Multan Sultan came to bowl, of course, they set a low total. That is why bowlers were already under pressure. That's why Mohammad Imran, Muhammad Ismail, and Peter Siddle failed to stop their batsmen, and therefore, Steven Smith tried many different bowlers. Even through when Maaz Sadaqat scored a lot in the early overs, he also gave up and lost the hopes then on the 10th over, he came to do over where he gave 14 runs to the opponent but at the same time he got a single wicket but now there is nothing to do but on the other hand Kingsmen need to solve another question to pass for the final.

Brother it will be a complete disappointment if Zalmi loses this final because they are in great form. Every player is giving 100% to the team and I truly think they deserve to win.
As a captain Babar Azam also deserves to win this season.
If they don’t win this final it might affect their confidence and they may not perform well in the next season. Thats why I really hope they get the job done this time.

Their performance in this game was quite better and challenging and in this game Babar Azam supported them a lot owing to which their better performance became even better and other players struggled hard and won. This team has shown a lot of better performance for this moment and people were waiting to see their performance and strength but PZ has won this game by playing better and now they are going to play the important game of the final where they have to improve their performance even more so that they can win. The thing that will make them better in this game is to put pressure on their bowlers so that they can better propose to control the target and get very close to winning. In this game, many people will see PZ winning and some will see HYK better performance.

Yeah, they already got the pressure by giving such a low target to them, and they already know how much the Hyderabad batsmen can hit. In the match with Pindi, they almost scored 250 runs, so how can they expect that they will not chase a score of 150? At the moment, I think their bowlers need to show more performance to reverse the pressure on them, but they failed.

They are out of the tournament, and Hyderabad enters the second eliminator. They have a match tomorrow with Islamabad United, a team that has a good record and is a champion, but Hyderabad is also in good form now, making it hard to predict which team will go to the final.

Babar Azam unbelievable batting performance in this important match of PSL winning the match easily with huge margin and qualify for the final of PSL. Peshawar Zalmi playing the final for the fifth time in all psl league. Islamabad United disappointed bowling performance im this match except Shadab Khan spell picked three important wickets but his alone efforts didn't win match because Babar Azam set the tone for Peshawar Zalmi. The man of match performance by king Babar Azam for playing a responsible inning scoring a well deserved century and his 103 runs will be play crucial role in winning of Peshawar zalmi. I hope Peshawar Zalmi will be favourite now to win PSL final this year because they just need one more win to become champion of PSL 2026

Babar was in his full best form today and he played very well in many games during this PSL series. This was 2 nd century of Babar in this PSL. Congratulations to PZ on qualifying for final game. 1 st Qualifier game between PZ and IU team was played today and this game was held at National Stadium. IU team won toss and select fielding first and gave batting line to PZ team. PZ batsmen set 221 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Babar helped alot team to win this game and he made brilliant century today 103 runs in 59 balls and hitted twelve 4s and four 6s. Kusal also batted well with Babar and their duo was outstanding and both also performed great in past game and Kusal made 41 runs in 26 balls and hitted five 4s and one 6s. IU team failed to chase target and lost Qualifier game by 70 big runs. Aaron howler bowled out 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 24 balls. Tomorrow Eliminator 1 game will play between HHK team and MS team and lets see who will win this game.

Unbelievable performance by Peshawar Zalmi team. After a long time Babar Azam looked in form, he  made back to back centuries. In this inning he scored 103 runs in 59 balls. Kushal Mendis and Babar Azam built a great partnership which was 84 runs in 54 balls. So they gave a big total for chasing to Islamabad United team. But Islamabad United team showed poor performanc in both sides. They bowled very poor bowling. Overall all bowlers gave more runs. And in batting side they could not perform well just 1st three players played little well. Remaining other players could not play responsible inning. They lost back to back wickets. They could score 151 runs with very difficulty and all team out. It was very bad inning by Islamabad United team so they lost the match very badly.
