2017-2018 Pakistan Super League

What a game! What a match! Rilee finally showed some true class that he showed last season!
 
Great match :cheers Rossouw brutalised Zalmi :D That knock of Ahmed 16 of 5 balls clinched the game ..
 
Have the Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans swapped their kismet?
SamaaTV
Multan Sultans, who had not won a single game since round two, cracked their losing streak of five games when they defeated the top-ranked team of the standings, Lahore Qalandars in the previous round. Karachi Kings who had been on a winning high were beaten by the Quetta Gladiators in that round. This round, the two teams clashed and to the surprise of everyone, the underdogs beat the favourites, and they did so, quite convincingly.

Multan Sultans have now won four games and have one left to play, whereas the Karachi Kings have three wins under their name but, with three games remaining. It would be an overstatement to say that the Karachi Kings are out, but the sudden change in performances between these two teams leads one to speculate that the two teams have changed fates. Is this truly the case?
 
Is that true I have seen now ?
Back to winning streaks , good effort by the bowlers.
 
Pathetic batting from our side again. Really need a major shake-up

1.1  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0) 
1.2  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, Six!  (6) 
1.3  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
1.4  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, The batsman goes down the track and nails it through the offside! Four more!  (4) 
1.5  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
1.6  Mustafizur Rahman to Babar Azam, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (4)

0.1  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
0.2  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1) 
0.3  Junaid Khan to Sahibzada Farhan, Very well bowled.  (0) 
0.4  Junaid Khan to Sahibzada Farhan, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
0.5  Junaid Khan to Sahibzada Farhan, Hah, n00b. He tries a reverse sweep, but misses it completely, causing a facepalm from the captain, and an 'Epic Fail' from the umpire who promptly gives him out!

2.1  Junaid Khan to Misbah-Ul-Haq, For all the Americans out there, that's the cricketing equivalent of a Home-Run. Nice stuff. Six.  (6) 
2.2  Junaid Khan to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Easy single.  (1) 
2.3  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, No Ball. Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
2.3  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
2.4  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
2.5  Junaid Khan to Alex Hales, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single  (1)

3.1  Sohail Tanvir to Alex Hales, He takes a step down the track and turns an attempted yorker into a full-toss, and dispatches it over long-on for six!  (6) 
3.2  Sohail Tanvir to Alex Hales, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though.  (1) 
3.3  Sohail Tanvir to Misbah-Ul-Haq, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6) 
3.4  Sohail Tanvir to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1)

4.2  Junaid Khan to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
4.3  Junaid Khan to Misbah-Ul-Haq, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion...  (4) 
4.4  Junaid Khan to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Good length delivery on the stumps, the batsman just leans forward and drives it past mid-on for four more. Lovely shot.  (4)
