Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

You cannot help feeling that Zalmis snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Wahab almost got them over the line with that 4 on the 2nd ball but then the pressure got to them

Absolutely outstanding game. Gladiators all the way. The least rated team is the one first in finals.

well played Gladiators. :k:

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Well bowled Cheema

Well done gladiators

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Damn, I missed watching this beautiful game of cricket. See thats why these two are the best teams and deserve to meet again in the final.
Glads didnt have enough score but way to come back! The spirit of this team should surely be sky high, very well deserved! :k:

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Some of us watch it live on prime TV in UK. :snooty:

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Gladiators can chase double hundred and defend low totals - perfect all round team.

Zalmis should seriously feel let down by Afridi. The most experienced player in the entire league and the way he throws away his wicket at crunch situation is disgusting, and simply unbelievable. Looking at the teary eyed Darren Sammy, I hope Afridi feels some shame, provided he has any to begin with.

Cheema bowled that last over beautifully, he did this once before in the asia cup final when he bowled the last over, with BD needing 9 runs and Pakistan won by 2 runs.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

They were both looking for last ball glory shot. Should've just taken the singles instead of looking to become heroes.

Emerging all rounder Mohammad Nawaz is the MoM… :k: :k: :smiley:

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

I hardly watch cricket, but does Sammy usually get that emotional? He was proper upset and teary.

I know Indian players cry a lot because I've seen million memes on them on my twitter feed.

The pouring of emotions and passion from international players has been a very pleasant surprise. No one missed the cheerleaders one bit.

Defending a small total, you cant ask for any better from your bowlers:

Viv has been simply outstanding in the dug out. His passion and energy is so amazing. Gladiators need to win it for the great man.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

Predominately a bowling friendly league.

Yup that's quintessentially a Pakistani league. :D

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators

4 runs required off 4 balls should have been a mere formality.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 1st Qualifying Final: Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators
