Pakistan Super League 2024 (Feb 17- March 18)

[NYRB]

Quetta need 15 off the last over to beat Karachi

 

[NYRB]

Rutherford goes bang for 6 first ball of the last over.

Advantage Quetta now with 9 needed off 5

 

[NYRB]

Rutherford goes bang again , back-to-back 6's

now Quetta only need 3 off 4

 

[NYRB]

2 dots in a row

Equation tight now, with Quetta needing 3 off 2

 

[NYRB]

Quetta need 1 run off 1 ball. Super over a possibility.

 

[NYRB]

Quetta do it! What a game of PSL on a Thursday night. A real humdinger.

Standings after Game 16:

 

[NYRB]

Dark Clouds in Game 17. Not sure if we get a completed game for first game up on Super Saturday.

Now, Babar also is making their way out to the middle. Daren Sammy is having a word with the umpires. We should have an update soon”

 

[NYRB]

Game 17 first abandoned match of PSL 2024.

Result means Lahore need to win their remaining 3 games and hope other results go their way.

 

[NYRB]

Game 18 has also been abandoned at the same ground on Super Saturday.



4 teams now on an odd number of points.

Multan Sultans have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Multan post 189/3 , and a ton for Usman.

Karachi have a stiff target to chase down.

 

[NYRB]

It feels like Karachi left about 5-10 runs behind there in Usman Khans pursuit of his ton there.

 

[NYRB]

Sultans win by 20 runs

Peshawar Zalmi (Playing XI): Saim Ayub, Babar Azam(c), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Haseebullah Khan(w), Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Aamer Jamal, Luke Wood, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mehran Mumtaz, Salman Irshad

Peshawar Zalmi have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Is Tom Kohler-Cadmore the most disappointing to make the jump up to T20 franchise level? he just keeps failing whenever I see him bat.

 

[NYRB]

Zalmi post 204/5 from their 20 overs but Multan look the happier the 2 sides in chasing this target.

 

[NYRB]

The way Jamal has been striking the ball the past 2 nights, I dont think Rovman Powell warranted taking the strike for the last 2 balls.

Seems like a greedy West Indian habit of wanting to face balls at the back end of matches.

 

[NYRB]

My stream broke down with an over or 2 to go last night but Multan Sultans came within a whisker of pinching that game last night against the Zalmi.

 

[NYRB]

Game 22:

Karachi Kings (Playing XI): Shan Masood(c), Tim Seifert(w), James Vince, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard, Irfan Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza, Zahid Mahmood, Blessing Muzarabani

Quetta Gladiators (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, Rilee Rossouw(c), Sarfaraz Ahmed(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Usman Tariq, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed

Karachi Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Miserable effort from Quetta with the bat , bowled out for 118.

 

[NYRB]

Karachi defeat Quetta with 27 balls to spare and 7 wickets in hand to win Game 22
