Misbah again to the rescue...alongwith Russel.
the pitches in Dubai needs to be resurfaced to suit T-20 games.
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
You are right. Actually, there are quite a few sites where one can watch the game if one wants to watch on PC. 
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
GUL is so hopeless. why is he still playing? he goes for plenty.
2, 4, 4, 6, 4, 0 = 20
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
AT one point: IU 56/6
NOW: 120/6
56 run partnership.
Anwar has already bowled 3 wides in this over...3 wides in the 18th over...strange....
...he finally gets Misbah.
18.5
Anwar Ali to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT
Misbah-ul-Haq c Umar Gul b Anwar Ali 41 (28b 4x4 1x6) SR: 146.42
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
Target for QG: 129
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
Umar gul in his previous over gave 20 runs to Russel but in the last [20th] over, gul bowled very well. gave only 5 runs
**IU ALL OUT for 128
QG will need 129 to win**
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
thanks again to Misbah [41] and Russel who came to rescue IU. it's much better [a defendable total with Badree, the best bowler in T20's] than 56/6
Nawaz was the STAR of the show...he got 4 wickets for 13 runs. well done Nawaz
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
Brilliant bowling by Glads against strong batting lineup of Islo. Misbah tried best as he does and Russel contributed as well but they are well short. Unless Glads screw things up it should be pretty easy.

Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
Incorrect reporting… IU 128/7 in 20 overs 
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04

I hope so. Anyhow, could see the match on TV (sky channel 792)
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
I have to appreciate the captaincy of Sarfraz. He realized that pitch is more suitable for spinners and thus took advantage of all 3 spinners he had, giving them 12 overs, even at the expense of Umar Gul and Anwer Ali, and that kept Islamabad runs to the minimum.
I am pretty sure that most other Captains would not have taken into account pitch and situation that much, using Umar Gul and Anwer Ali for 4 overs each.
Anyhow, I think Islamabad team cooperated too, as they came into field with mindset of slow batting initially and going for big hits later, but in T20 and with today's mindset, there is no luxury of slow batting at any time. One only need careful batting with regular risks even during initial stages.
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
QG: 6 for 0 after 1 over. ... So, it seems, they are already going for target, instead of doing tuk-tuk, and that is the mindset, players should come on field, even when chasing modest total.
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
Selfie Boy hit 2 FOURS in the second over already! :)
QG: 20/0 after 2...going very well.
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
wow...2 consecutive SIXES by wright! :) poor Irfan :(
catch a crore!
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
20 for no loss after 2 overs (14 runs in this over)
35 for no loss after 3 overs (15 runs in this over)
53 for no loss after 4 overs (18 runs in this over)
Thus it is clear that team is sent with message to play aggressively instead of tuk-tuk mantra.
Re: PSL: Match 1 - ISL united v/s Quetta Gladiator - Feb 04
opposite strategies...IU came in with slow scoring while QG came in with fast aggressive scoring...
Russel gave away 4 boundaries in his first over [18 runs].
