Haier Cup Pakistan

@AsadRM :) :) :)

It was always given that the wicket would have become easier to bat on as the match progresses. Aamir gave us the perfect start. And it's commendable how close were we able to bring the game. Wondering if going with five bowlers would have made the job done for us (or not).

Two nail bitters for us in a row now. God forbid we have a second chance.

For endings, saved myself a 100k but at what cost!
Feel for you mate but more for my own 100k :/

Had your fielders not dropped those catches, I would have had 100k in my pocket right now, and you a place in the final. Small margins!
 
WHAT A MATCH!

Salahuddin and Imam gave us a fabulous start, and Nawaz and Archer put the cherry on top! Quetta is <3

BACKGROUND

The final before the final - it's Peshawar Zalmi taking on Lahore Qalandars at the Islamiya University Ground for a chance to face-off against Quetta Gladiators in the final
Lahore Qalandars emerged victorious in the only encounter between the two teams this season, beating Peshawar Zalmi by 4 wickets at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Lahore Qalandars have had ups and downs throughout the season, failing to find consistent success but they've delivered in big matches and qualified for the playoffs.
They've never won two or more games in consecutive order the entire season, but they've also not lost two or more games in succession. Qalandars have had a bumpy ride.

Peshawar Zalmi have only faced defeat from two oppositions - Lahore Qalandars in a league game, and Quetta Gladiators in a league game as well as the first playoff game.
Home team advantage in the eliminator for Peshawar Zalmi, although Lahore Qalandars are used to playing in similar conditions as both team's homegrounds favour spin.

Both teams consist of some of the world's best batsmen of limited-overs cricket, but it will be the bowling of both teams that's going to ultimately be the difference maker.
For Lahore, losing Mitchell Starc might be a blessing in disguise since it's a square-turner and he hasn't had the best of seasons with only 9 wickets at an average of 33.00.

Starc being out due to an unfortunate injury led to us strengthening the batting. Also, the batting struggled in the last game, so Stokes comes in for Starc.

Hoping to win the game and get to the finals, thus, we opted for an aggressive lineup!

Out first over! Sharjeel Khan walks back as Haris Rauf draws first blood in the eliminator. An early wicket will surely dent Peshawar Zalmi's aspirations of a formidable score.

It really was a one-man show from Peshawar Zalmi with Virat Kohli being the sole ray of hope for them throughout their innings, ravaged by Lahore Qalandars' bowlers.
Fakhar Zaman scored a firm 57 from 62 deliveries and added 122 runs for the second-wicket alongside Virat Kohli, but it all went downhill for Peshawar Zalmi after that.

No other batsman could stick around for Peshawar Zalmi for a meaningful amount of time - with Sarfaraz Ahmed being the only one to crack into double-figures.
Haris Rauf and Zafar Gohar were the frontline damage dealers for Lahore Qalandars - sharing 6 wickets for 84 runs in 19.5 overs at an economy of just 4.23 together.

Usman Qadir helped Haris Rauf clean-up Peshawar Zalmi's tail and Faheem Ashraf provided Lahore Qalandars with the timely and crucial dismissal of Virat Kohli himself.
Even though the latter was more expensive than his teammates. Even more so than Ben Stokes who conceded 33 runs in 5.0 overs when the team's scoring rate is 5.27.
