2017-2018 Pakistan Super League

[RUDI]

Started to get worried when I saw United's total. What a chase

 

[Ahmad94]

Damn it, first loss and that too against Lahore Qalanders. In a way, regardless of the trick, I thought that 170 was out of LQ's range especially with their volatile batting line-up. Guess the proved me wrong.

Mustafizur Rahman's hat trick helps Lahore Qalandars stun Karachi Kings

The biggest match of the season, yet. The arch-rivals, Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars went up against each other in a thrilling game of cricket. The Karachi Kings won the toss and elected to bat first, and were bowled out to 171. This was because of a sensational collapse at a point where they were looking to pass the 200 mark. They lost 6 wickets for 13 runs, the last 3 of which came in successive balls to Mustafizur Rahman. He claimed a hat trick, wrapping up the Karachi Kings innings unceremoniously.

In reply, Lahore Qalandars chased that target down with 4 wickets and 6 balls to spare. Fakhar Zaman started the innings quick, but was dismissed shortly after. His blitzy innings did leave an impact, regardless of how short it was. Umar Akmal, surprisingly, then played his best middle-order knock in a very long time, staying unbeaten on 49 off 40 balls until the game was over. Batting alongside him during the middle overs was Sohail Akhtar who added a 39-ball 47, the innings was capped off by an amazing Sohail Khan cameo of 28 runs from 11 balls.

Alex Hales' 94 in vain as the Quetta Gladiators score their first win

Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah hosted its first match of the season between Islamabad United and the Quetta Gladiators, and it was a run galore. Batting first, Islamabad United finished with 199/6 in their 20.0 overs. Alex Hales was the highlight for United, scoring 94 off just 54 balls before top-edging a ball, and getting caught 6 runs short of the first hundred this season. Misbah-Ul-Haq played a very sensible innings in the middle overs, scoring 36 off 29 balls. United's innings was beautifully finished off by Faheem Ashraf's 11-ball 24.

But the response to that total could not have been anymore upfront. Quetta Gladiators' newly formed opening pair of Jason Roy and Saad Ali added 54 runs off just 27 balls, which was followed by Kevin Pietersen playing his best innings, yet. Scoring 75 off 49 balls, in an innings that included 8 fours and 2 sixes. The skipper stepped up and played a great innings, as well. Scoring a fierce 44 off just 26 balls. The lower-order collapsed badly, but in the end, Rahat Ali won them the game by hitting a boundary off the last ball when four runs were required.

HIGHLIGHT REEL

Mustafizur Rahman 4/30 (3.4 / hat trick)
MATCH 8 - Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

In a collapse of epic proportions, Karachi Kings lost their last six wickets for thirteen runs. The last three of which fell to Mustafizur Rahman in three successive balls. This was only the second hat trick in the history of the tournament, and the first of the season. And since Mustafizur Rahman had already picked a wicket earlier, it became the first 4-wicket haul of the season.

Alex Hales 96 (54)
MATCH 9 - Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Playing against the Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United opted to bat first after having won the toss. Their opener, Alex Hales laid the foundation to a massive 199-run total. It was one of the most outrageous beginnings to an innings the league has ever seen. He hit 9 fours and 3 sixes, only to be dismissed 4 runs short of a hundred. He top-edged the ball and was caught quite comfortable, and even more unfortunate for him was the fact that his team lost despite his best efforts.

[Ahmad94]

Luckily, I was planning to replace Hasan Mohsin in this game anyway.

Karachi Kings:

1. Colin Ingram
2. Shahid Afridi
3. Babar Azam
4. Lendl Simmons
5. Ravi Bopara
6. Mohammad Rizwan
7. Mohammad Taha
8. Imad Wasim
9. Mohammad Amir
10. Tymal Mills
11. Usama Mir

Both in another spinner (that too a left-handed one) should hopefully lead to more success.

I think we should make one or two changes
