Moonstar: I do not think wickets are bad. Actually, 150 should not be problem on these pitches, but in last two games, weaker side played first and managed modest score. On the other hand, pitch situation can be judged by chasing side who got their target within 16 overs (in both games). thus, one can say that even 200 runs in first innings is possible and we will see that during tournament.

Actually, I believe next game would see over 150 runs in first inning, regardless Peshawar plays first of Islamabad.

Peshawar won the toss and going to bat first. Let see what target they would give. :)

Re: PSL Match 2 - Qalanders V Kings

As per Sarfaraz, due to moisture in pitch he had chosen to bat 2nd as the pitch will ease out for 2nd inning, may be that is the factor for both games.

Sa1eem bhai. U r rite to some extent but these r not 200 pitch. If u se the spin by shakeeb n quetta spinners it is not that easy.

Lahore team has too many 'wild', indisciplined and temperamental players. I wouldn't be surprised if they come last. It's a just a very hyped up big label team.

I think the most consistent teams of the tournament would be Peshawar, Quetta and Karachi.

Are you a front foot batter or backfoot?

Re: PSL Match 2 - Qalanders V Kings

I think Sarfraz put Islamabad in, because he thought that batting second, dew would help, as due to dew, blowers would not be able to bowl as effectively. Runs would be easy to get too, as fielders would find difficulty in taking catches, and also stopping the bowl (all because ball getting wet due to dew).

But that was when game was getting played in evening. Karachi-Islamabad game started at 9 PM (Dubai time).

But today, Karachi vs Lahore game started at 3 PM, so dew factor was not there when Karachi played, still they made 132 in less than 15.2 overs and at the rate they were making runs, they could easily have reached 180 to 200 in full 20 over.

I agree that for 200 runs, team needs batsmen with good averages and strike rate, but considering Pakistani batsmen with pathetic averages and Strike rate, 200 runs is difficult to make. Nevertheless, even with batsmen playing in this tournament, to get 150 runs should not be so difficult.

Just imagine, we have 4 fifties in last 3 games till now, and all 50s were made by overseas batsmen (2 from BD). As for Pakistani batsmen, none played any remarkable innings. These are 50s in last 3 games:

Wright (Eng): 86 runs in 53 balls ... SR: 162
Simmons (WI): 62 runs in 46 balls ... SR: 135
Shakib (BD): 51 runs in 35 balls ... SR: 146
Tamim (BD): 51 runs in 51 balls ... SR: 100

Looking at their SR (and SR of other overseas players), one can easily assume that 150 runs is not big score on this pitch.

Tomorrow (6 Feb) is Quetta Vs Karachi. Let see who wins. My feeling is that, Quetta would win.
