Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and elected to field...could be a cracker... :D

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Even though Peshawar won the toss and have advantage of batting second, I still believe that Islamabad would win the match. Peshawar do not have any reliable batsman worth mentioning.

United 36/0 off 6.0 overs...anything under 28 runs will be useless... :D

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

*128 runs... :D

Would luv to see Misbah eleven kick Afridi’s a$$ here.. Lets go united :k:

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

I do not know how and why Islamabad got D Smith in their team, a player whose average in all format of game is below 30 and do not even have any remarkable strike rate. He was disgrace in Islamabad and I think it was Misbah mistake to send him as opener.

It was one big mistake for Peshawar to take his wicket. Anyhow, taking his wicket means favour to Islamabad as well as D Smith (who is sweating badly).

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Even though I thought it would be 180+ but 176 isn't a bad score either. Now bowling gotto be tight. If any room is given Zalmis are able to get it.
Sharjeel was rxcellent however somewhat lucky too

SHARJEEL! !!!!!! what a knock!

Common zalmis. ...please win!

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Sharjeel played gem of an innings, such clean and class hitting.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Afridi...some thrill please... :D

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Well played Sharjeel.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

I think score is more than enough. I believe, Islamabad should win.

In the end, all depends on Misbah's captaincy. How Misbah place his fielders and use his bowlers. A big Captaincy test for Misbah.

Wicket looks difficult to score, that one can see the way D Smith batted and the way Khalid Latif was having difficulty in contacting the ball (that is different matter that K Latif still batted reasonably, but surely was having problem).

Zalmi 92/5 off 14.0 ...need boundaries only... :D

RRR 14.16

Re: Pakistan Super League, 3rd Qualifying Final: Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi at

Bowling is much better than batting in general in the psl . Unlike other t20 league around the world there is a balance between ball n bat. Left arm spinners r great to watch in the psl.
Isb my favorite after khi . Nice balance side .
Hope they don't beat glad who r playing as a a team

Quetta Gladiators it is for the win!
