PSL 2021 | ISU vs LHQ: Shadab Khan and Co. stage impressive comeback as Qalandars make a meal of an easy chase
If there is to be made a case for a comeback in the Pakistan Super League, the comeback by Islamabad united in game 20 of the PSL 2021 will always be among the top contender for number one. It wasn’t just one comeback in one inning, but a huge comeback in both the innings of the game and from a position, which wasn’t suitable for a comeback at all. The Lahore Qalandars deserve some mention for making a mess of all the opportunities they got in the game to lose it in the end by 28 runs. Chasing a modest target of 153 on a Shiekh Zayed wicket that didn’t support swing as much as in the last few games, the Qalandars had a desirable start with a 55 run partnership for the opening wicket. Both Fkahar Zaman and skipper Sohail Akhtar looked in great touch before the latter was removed by Fawad Ahmed on the last ball of the first powerplay. Youngster Zeeshan Ashraf was run out very soon too. However, Mohammad Hafeez joined Zaman and the Qalandars were cruising to victory under their partnership at 86-2 in 10 overs. But as they say, it’s not over till it’s over, young fast bowler Muhammad Musa made sure that the saying was held true to its course as he removed both Hafeez and Zaman in his two overs. In between them he also sent back Ben Dunk to the pavilion for a duck. Qalandars were suddenly 93-5 and in a spot of bother with their saviours from the last two games, Tim David and Rashid Khan at the crease. Shadab Khan, the United skipper had other ideas in mind as he removed both David and Rashid in the same over to break any hopes that might have been building in the Qalandars dugout. From there on, it was a matter of formality as Sheen Afridi and James Faulkner were dismissed by Ahmed in the 15th over itself. The grandeur of the comeback of United can be gauged from the fact that they took seven wickets in a span of just 14 runs and 30 balls. In the end, Haris Rauf entertained the audiences with some high flying shots but it was never going to be enough as one shot too many and a brilliant catch at the long leg boundary by Iftikhar meant that the Qalandars innings came to an end at 124. The loss did not settle well with the Qalandars skipper Sohail. Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, he said, “Our middle-order didn't take responsibility. We need to work on our death bowling. We gave away 10-15 runs more. We got a good opening partnership but lost our way in the middle.” Earlier in the evening, it was the story of the vintage Asif Ali doing what he has been known for, taking the United out of precarious situations. The middle-order batsman, who had been going through a rough patch recently, making only 99 runs in his last nine innings at a lowly average of 11.00 and losing his place in the XI in the national side, was pushed to number seven in the United lineup too. But today was the day of his redemption. At 20/5 at the end of the powerplay, Islamabad were looking down at another humbling by Lahore in the PSL but for Asif and Iftikhar’s partnership. The two veterans of the game got together and added a record 123 runs for the sixth wicket, the highest in PSL’s six years history. Asif in particular was ruthless from the very beginning, even as Iftikhar took his time to settle down. The 29-year-old completed his fifty in just 28 balls and went on to make 74, his highest score in PSL off just 43 balls at a strike rate of 174. He hit six fours and five sixes. As Asif didn’t seem like getting out to any bowler, he was hit wicket as his pads flaked the stumps while he was turning after trying to pull a ball from deep in his crease. The Faisalabad born was also adjudged Man of the match for his herculean effort. The 30-year-old partner of his missed out on his fifty, getting out for 49 in an attempt to hit some more boundaries. Faulkner was the pick of the bowlers for Lahore as he removed three players in the powerplay. With this win, United have also got to the top of the table now replacing Qalandars, although both the teams have the same points. Shadab, who was criticised for not fielding first after winning the toss said, “A decision is a final decision and if we had lost the game, I wouldn't have blamed the toss.” “But it was great to come back from difficult situations and win this match,” he added in the post-match presentation ceremony. While Lahore would come back on Tuesday to play against Quetta Gladiators, sitting at the bottom of the PSL points table, Islamabad would be in action tomorrow against last year’s champions Karachi Kings.
PSL 2021 | ISU vs LHQ: With revenge on their mind, Shadab Khan’s men take on in form Qalandars
When these two teams met last time in the Pakistan Super League 2021, it was the inaugural match of the Abi Dhabi leg and Qalandars managed to just sneak past the red lions in the last ball thriller. However, Islamabad United came back roaring in their very next encounter when they mauled the Quetta Gladiators by 10 wickets, chasing down 134 in just 10 overs. The Qalandars, however, are unbeaten in the Abu Dhabi leg so far in their two games. After the narrow escape against united, they defeated the Zalmi comprehensively thanks to a brilliant spell by Rashid Khan who picked his first-ever five-wicket haul in the franchise cricket history. Oozing with confidence the Qalandars would look to seal the deal in this game and make sure that they are into the Playoffs before anyone else. Mathematically, if they win this game, and get to 12 points, they would require just one more victory in their remaining three games to qualify. However, there are many loopholes in the Qalandars lineup that might get exposed in coming games. To name a few, their top order is totally out of form including Professor Mohammaed Hafeez and skipper Sohail Akhtar, although he did score 40 in the first game. Similarly, there was a lot of problem with the Islamabad squad too, but with their openers, Colin Munro and Usman Khawaja, putting on a brilliant performance in the last game, the middle-order woes that troubled the Sherus in Karachi as well as the first encounter here, seemed to have been covered up. But for how long is the question? Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars: Match Details Match Number-20 Date and Time: June 13th 2021, 06: 30 pm IST, 01:00 pm GMT, 05:00 pm Local Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi Broadcast and Live Stream: Sony Liv Pitch Report More than five games have been played at the stadium, different pitches have been used, of course, but as far as the nature of the ground is concerned, it has produced wickets that have bounce and carry but at the same time are susceptible to grip and holding up after a considerable period of time elapsing in the game. Batters, if they apply themselves can get runs as well, as has been shown by Tim David and Munro in different games. Weather and Toss The Weather in Abu Dhabi as expected is great for a cricket game. Since this game would have sunlight at least during the first innings, a great amount of heat can be expected in deserts. It would take time to cool down so more or less both the teams would have similar weather experience. As far as the toss is concerned, as has been the tradition in UAE, win the toss and field first is most likely to continue. Team News Islamabad United Faheem Ashraf’s injury seemed to be a blessing in disguise for the red Shadab led squad as Mohammad Musa utilised the opportunity to produce a great performance with the ball, picking up two wickets. Even Akif Ajved, who came in place of Fawad Ahmed was more than good enough with the new ball. Thus, no changes would be expected from the Islamabad team going into this game. Probable XI Colin Munro, Usman Khawaja, Hussain Talat, Rohail Nazir (wk), Shadab Khan (c), Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Hasan Ali, Muhammad Musa, Akif Javed, Mohammad Wasim Jr Lahore Qalandars Sohail Akhtar and the team management have played the same team in both the games and whenever the skipper was asked if he would change the team, the reply was the same, “we would play according to conditions.” Mohammad Faizan, the right arm youngster hasn’t really been able to impress in the two outings and seems like the only weak link in the team. Muhammad Zaid Alam is another youngster waiting in the wings and can be tried. Probable XI Fakhar Zaman (c), Sohail Akhtar, Muhammad Faizan/ Muhammad Zaid Alam, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk (wk), Tim David, Rashid Khan, James Faulkner, Ahmed Daniyal, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf Dream XI / Fantasy XI predictions Sohail Akhtar, Usman Khawaja, Colin Munro, Ben Dunk (wk), Tim David (vc), Mohammad Hafeez, Rashid Khan (c), James Faulkner, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Shaheen Afridi
PSL 2021 | PSZ vs LHQ: Zalmi look to break losing streak against table toppers Qalandars
In their past three meetings, Peshawar Zalmi have been humbled by the Qlanadrs from Lahore. The first game this season for both the teams was against each other and Qalandars defeated the Zalmis thanks to a magnificent performance with the ball by Shaheen Afridi (3/14). Previously the Zalmi lost to the men from Lahore in the eliminator of the 2020 PSL and also in a league game of the same season. It has been more than 450 days since a victory for the team from Peshawar over the Qalandars. Now with the PSL moving to Abu Dhabi once again, the Zalmi, who have had a good run in the competition, compared to their opponents would look to make good use of the already used wicket in the doubleheader. In fact, Zalmi have lost only once to Qalandars in the UAE and it came way back in 2016. However the tables have turned, while Zalmi would be looking to set their feet in the Shiekh Zayed Stadium, Sohail Akhtar’s men are already on the charge thanks to their thrilling last-ball win against Islamabad United in the opening game of the Abu Dhabi leg of PSL 2021. With more than just two points at stake, there is no doubt that both teams, with a changed combination and lineup due to change in the schedule, would go all guns blazing in this 23.300 hrs IST clash. Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars: Match Details Match Number- 17 Date and Time: June 10, 23:30 pm IST, 06:00 pm GMT, 10:00 pm Local Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi Broadcast/ Live Stream: Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV Pitch Report As evident from the first game, the heat has really worked up the surfaces in the Gulf nation. As a result, the pitch is two-paced, as it has carry and bounce, but at the same time, the ball is gripping and getting stuck in the wicket if fingers are being rolled over the ball. It turned a bit as well in the first game, giving clear indications as to why spinners are important. Weather and Toss If you win the toss in PSL, there is no way anybody would choose anything other than fielding first. The formula worked in Karachi and it did in the first game in Abu Dhabi too. There would be no problem with the weather in Abu Dhabi as in the case of a 10 pm start, it would rather be perfect as the sand would have mostly cooled by then. Team News Peshawar Zalmi Their main bowler from the Karachi leg, Saqib Mahmood won’t be available in the Abu Dhabi leg and thus the onus to bowl well fall on the shoulders of the skipper Wahab Riaz. To get some support, he has West Indian veteran Fidel Edwards and homegrown talents like Umaid Asif and Imran Randhawa. The batting department would also miss Ravi Bopara and Tom Kohler Cadmore or TKC as he is known. To compensate for that, Zalmi brought in South Africa David Miller and West Indians Rovman Powell and Fabian Allen. The Afghan spinner Mujeeb-ur-Rahman has been replaced by his compatriot, Waqar Salamkheil. Thus with these many changes, it would be difficult for Daren Sammy and Riaz to pick a solid team. Probable XI Kamran Akmal(w), Imam-ul-Haq, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, David Miller, Sherfane Rutherford, Fabian Allen, Wahab Riaz(c), Amad Butt, Fidel Edwards,, Waqar Salamkheil Lahore Qalandars The only change that Qalandars could think of initiating is getting someone in place of Mohmmad Faizan, who looked out of sorts in the first game. But then he is a youngster and bound to make mistakes, thus getting him out of the XI just after one game wouldn’t be fair. Thus a no change team would be in the offering by Qalandars. Probable XI Fakhar Zaman, Sohail Akhtar(c), Muhammad Faizan, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk(w), Tim David, Rashid Khan, James Faulkner, Ahmed Daniyal, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf Dream XI / Fantasy XI Predictions Sohail Akhtar, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, David Miller, Mohammad Hafeez (c), Ben Dunk(w), Rashid Khan (vc), James Faulkner, Wahab Riaz, Amad Butt, Shaheen Afridi
PSL 6: With top spot up for grabs, Islamabad face the Lahore Challenge
Come 4th of March and Karachi Kings would be removed from the top spot in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League. It would be courtesy either Islamabad United or Lahore Qalandars, as the two teams with equal number points as Karachi would face off in a high voltage Thursday night clash. Both Qalandars and United are coming on the back of comprehensive wins. While the Sohail Akhtar led side downed Karachi in an impressive chase, United battered Quetta in an almost one-sided clash. This would be the first meeting of the two teams in this edition of the league, where Lahore would have the chance to register their first-ever win against the side from the Capital in their last six meetings. Lamichhane' entry would make Lahore stronger With Lahore getting the replacement of Rashid Khan in the form of Nepalese Sandeep Lamichhane, the Qalandars will now get even stronger in this game as a leg spinner was the only thing they were lacking. Samit Patel has been taken for cleaners and with Ben Dunk and David Wiese returning to form, Lamichhane becomes an obvious choice for the Qalandars think tank. The other area that needs to be worked at by the Qalandars is the form of their skipper. Although in the last game he got out without even facing the ball, the form for the 35-year-old has been a reason of worry for his team. If and when he gets going, Lahore will become a deadly batting side, that no team would like to face. Islamabad fast bowling a threat to Lahore The fast bowling in this edition of the PSL has been exemplary. As a result of that, There are nine fast bowlers in the list of top 10 wicket-takers this season. The Islamabad side has got some fine pace bowlers in the form of Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Faheem Ashraf. They are a deadly trio, well supported by the likes of Lewis Gregory and Shadab Khan, complimenting their wicket-taking abilities with their economical bowling. The Qlanadars’ strong position is their batting and if United pacers could take out the likes of Mohammad Hafeez, Fakhar Zaman and Ben Dunk, then the going would get difficult for the Lahore team. Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United: Match Details Match Number- 15 Date and Time: 04th March 2021, 07:30 pm IST, 07:00 pm PST, 02:00 pm GMT Venue: National Stadium, Karachi Broadcast and Live Stream: Sony SIX, Sony LIV Pitch Report Enough has been said about the pitch so far and people have seen enough of it as well. No doubt it is a sporting pitch, a t20 friendly pitch with a lot of runs on offer, but with all these qualities, the dew is making it a lot more predictable than it should be. All the totals are getting chased and people can almost predict the result just by knowing the result of the toss. A similar pitch is expected for this game as well. But it would be a real surprise if some team is able to defend a target at the NSK. Weather and Toss The toss has no doubt been the most crucial part of any game at Karachi. Thus in this game too, the captains of both the teams and their fans would be praying to all their gods so that the coin flip comes in their favour. The team winning the toss would obviously be fielding first. The weather is another predictable thing at Karachi with clear skies and temperatures between 20 to 27 degrees welcoming the players and the fans to the ground. Perfect weather for cricket sans the dew of course.

PSL 6: With revenge on their mind, bruised Qalandars face rejuvenated Kings
Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings, the teams that played the final in the last season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) would be up against each other in the high octane Sunday clash at the National Stadium in Karachi. While Karachi defeated Lahore in their last meeting and won the PSL for the first time, the bruised Qalandars, from last year’s final defeat as well as from the bashing they got from Multan Sultans in their last game, would be looking to give it back to Karachi this time around. The Qalandars have drafted in Sandeep Lamichhane as the replacement for Rashid Khan and would look to employ the leg spinner to give them some mileage wit the ball. Non-performing captain and lack of spinning option: Lahore' top concerns The Lahore team has got an amazing bowling line-up especially with the kind of form Mohammad Hafeez is in. But the problem for Qalandars has been the lack of form from their skipper Sohail Akhtar who has not been able to get into the groove even in a single of the three games he has played so far. His scores of 14, 21 and 7 have made no contribution to Lahore’ plans and it is disturbing news for the team when the skipper is unable to contribute. The other problem that the Qalandars have faced since the departure of Afghan skipper Rashid Khan for his national duties, is the lack of spinning options. Although Samit Patel and Hafeez can both throw in 3-4 overs of orthodox spin, Hafeez has not been tried so far and Patel hasn’t returned the favours when he was tried. Thus the inclusion of Nepali import Lamichhane might just give Qlanadars the much-needed balance in the side. But along with that balance, they would want their skipper to fire as well. Karachi Kings hope Babar Azam continues on his newfound form Babar Azam the star player of the Kings finally found his original form back as he played a match-winning knock against Multan Sultans in the last game. Now that he is back in form, the Kings would want him to continue his form. With him coming back in form, and Sharjeel Khan announcing his arrival with a century in a game earlier than the last one, the Kings now have a great batting lineup that gives them an advantage over the Gladiators. Imad Wasim’ side would therefore be looking to score anything in excess of 190 runs on the board, even if they lose the toss. They have got the bowling to defend the total and might be the first team to defend a total in PSL 6. Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars: Match Details Match Number- 11 Day and Date: 28th Feb, 07: 30 pm IST, 07:00 pm Local, 02:00 pm GMT Venue- National Stadium, Karachi Broadcast and Live Stream: Sony SIX, Sony LIV Pitch Report A fresh pitch is expected for this game. In the last game at the stadium, the Peshawar Zalmi showed that wickets upfront can put pressure on the batting team and it need not necessarily be a high scoring game all the time. However, the wicket was still good for batting and it was the lack of application from the Islamabad side that led to their downfall more than any role of the wicket. Thus in this game too, a wicket with true bounce, pace and ball coming on to the bat is expected to make it a thrilling, high scoring T20 encounter that the National Stadium in Karachi is known for. Weather Update As it has been for the past 10 games, the weather at Karachi would be ideal for cricket with temperatures hovering between 25 and 20 degrees. The chill in the evening might give some assistance for the fast bowlers early on, but apart from that, with dew settling in later in the evening, skippers left with no option but to bowl first. Probable XI Karachi Kings Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, Joe Clarke (wk), Colin Ingram, Daniel Christian, Mohammad Nabi, Imad Wasim (c), Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Amir, Waqas Maqsood, Arshad Iqbal Lahore Qalandars Fakhar Zaman, Sohail Akhtar (c), Joe Denly, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk (wk), Samit Patel, David Wiese, Ahmed Daniyal, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Maaz Khan DreamXI / Fantasy XI picks Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam (vc), Mohammad Hafeez (c), Fakhar Zaman, Joe Clarke (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Imad Wasim, Arshad Iqbal, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi
PSL 6: Disdained Gladiators look for first win against buoyant Qalandars
After winning their opening encounter against the Peshawar Zalmi, the Qalandars have their next challenge waiting for them on the very next day. It is the Quetta Gladiators, who were humiliated by Karachi Kings in their previous encounter would face the Qalandar challenge at the National Stadium in Karachi. Gladiators excepting their leader to stand up to the challenge Sarfaraz Ahmed, the skipper of the Gladiators and the biggest leader and motivator in the side got out for just five runs and that too in a fashion, not usually associated with him. He made just 5 runs and his dismissal put off the entire team. It is thus important that he along with senior players like Chris Gayle, Ben Cutting and Mohammad Nawaz need to take up the responsibility and make sure they give enough confidence to young guns like Tom Banton and their three quicks to play their natural game. Qalandars look to polish their skills The Lahore team played a great game, but their chase was jittery nonetheless. Senior pros like Sohail Akhtar, Fakhar Zaman and overseas imports like David Wiese and Samit Patel need to bring out their best. Hadn’t it been for a Rashid Khan special, the Qalandars might have been staring down the barrel. Thus in the early phase of the game, the men from Lahore would want their mistakes to be rectified. Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators: Match Details Match Number- 04 Date and Time: 22nd February, 07:30 pm IST, 07:00 pm Local, 02:00 pm GMT Venue- National Stadium, Karachi Broadcast and Live stream: Sony Six and Sony LIV Pitch Report The pitch for this game would be a used pitch only. In the last three games played at Karachi, all of them have been low scoring ones only. But that is not because of the slowness of the wicket, rather because of some brilliant display of bowling. The wickets here have had true bounce, it’s the lack of application from batsmen and some very serious pace of change from bowlers that have made the contests low scoring. Weather and Toss Karachi would have clear night skies for the game with a lot of dew on display. The skipper winning the toss would go for a bowl first without any doubt.
