Pakistan Super League 2024 (Feb 17- March 18)

[NYRB]

Multan 17/1 off 13 balls in Game 3 against Karachi.

 

[NYRB]

Shamsi here for 6 games before he heads back home to domestic tournament according to Haysman.

 

[NYRB]

Seems like run scoring not as easy at Multan compared to Lahore so far.

 

[NYRB]

Sultans post 185 against Karachi Kings in Game 3

 

[NYRB]

Pommy reckons the pitch has slowed down.

 

[NYRB]

No dew in the ground at Multan tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Woke up to the score Multan beating Karachi by 55 runs last night. I fell asleep at the end there but Kieron Pollard has to be one of the most selfish players going around. Caught a glimpse of one of the overs last night, when Karachi needed 17 an over, he came out and scored 1 run off a 5 ball spell, which in effectively pushed the RRR above 20 an over.

Wilkins saying there was a bit of rain earlier in Lahore today.

"Everyones having an issue" with their boots.

 

[NYRB]

Baseball styled for 6 from Farhan and thats the first of the game on Monday.

 

[NYRB]

Went a good 95 metres.

 

[NYRB]

van Dussen looks crap against spin and gets bowled out.

 

[NYRB]

Shafique with his 1st 6 of the match.

 

[NYRB]

Sense Hosein will dominate at middle to lower T20 leagues but might struggle at the top end /international level.

Hosein with 17/2 off his 4.0 overs tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Lahore post 187/7 v Quetta

Good recovery to post that.

 

[NYRB]

Van der Dussen is a liability on Asian conditions. 15 off 16 when he really needed to go harder inside that opening powerplay. 2 games lost now for Lahore batting 1st in the comp.

 

[NYRB]

And Ill say this van der Dussen isnt in a South Africa best XI for me. He is probably a slightly better version of Bavuma in this format of the game.

A South Africa best XI in terms of team would be:

De Kock, Rickelton, Markram, Stubbs, Klaasen, Miller, Marco Jansen, Maharaj, Shamsi, Burger, Lizaad Williams


No room for Rossouw who struggled a bit in the SA20 and van der Dussen , I dont have the international stats on me- but seems like the jump from domestic to international has been a bit of a struggle for me.

Multan Sultans have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Islamabad off to a shaky start losing Hales and Munro inside the powerplay in Game 5

 

[NYRB]

Light tower gone off in Multan, as Islamabad United are 104/4 in the 15th over.

 

[NYRB]

Islamabad post 144 from their 20 overs in Game 5 against Sultans.

 

[NYRB]

Sultans beat Islamabad Utd with a ball to spare in Game 5.

With that win Sultans go top of the table:
