It still can be one man show afrdi show if he stay in there for zalmi

6.4.6

i feel its little too late

as usual

6.4.6 out

 

[ghazi52]

17.3
Russell to Shahid Afridi, SIX, carved over cover for a maximum. Generated tremendous bat speed, excellent use of the bottom hand. What power, what muscle. Is the game alive?

17.2
Russell to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, swings north, ball goes south. Thick edge flies into the third man boundary

17.1
Russell to Shahid Afridi, SIX, ramp shot and that's gone all the way. What are the chances that Russell expected Afridi to play that stroke?

Russell to Shahid Afridi, OUT, game, set and match? This one was hit towards the longer boundary, didn't get the kind of power he wanted and Smith settled underneath it to take an easy catch at deep midwicket. The disappointment in the crowd is palpable.

Shahid Afridi c Smith b Russell 38 (17b 2x4 4x6) SR: 223.52

Noooooo

I wanted Quetta vs Peshawar final.

 

[Adecypher]

Sherjeel's innings was the decider really....great win for IU congratulations.....Zalmi's acted like South African team i.e. they cholked....

I reckon the T20 world squad will definitely see some changes...

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I think Zalmi lost due to lack of initiative from players like

Hafeez / Hodge , Senior players who did not perform to potential in key match
with Hafeez its expected he performs randomly

Having Australian coach on their side he was familiar with Hodge's weakness

Lack of boundaries in first 5 overs killed Zulmi who otherwise entertained in the League format


I was always favoring a system

a) League winner gets 50% purse money
b) Tournament winner gets 50% purse money

Zalmi played well in whole league format to win it it was great achievement but they lost momentum

Hard to imagine the strongest bowling attack in tournament could not get enough wickets in a key match

While Islamabad bowlers bowled out Zalmi

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Would be epic final battle no doubt

GLADIATORS (Coached by Viv Richards Icon in batting)
KP
Luke Wrght
Sangakara
Elliot
Sarfaraz
Nawaz
Ahmed Shazad

Serious Batting Depth!!!

Vs Bowling Unit that just dismantled Zalmi

ISLAMABAD (Retro West Indies + Pakistan bowling attack)
Irfan
Sami
Russel
Imran
Samuel Badree

Coached (Wasim Akram)


While it is true Zalmi are out there are players from KPK still in mix
Bismillah Khan (Gladiators)
Anwar Ali (Gladiators)

Similarly Punjab Qalanders are out there are players from Punjab in mix
Misbah (Islamabad)
Shazad (Gladiator)
Irafan etc (Islamabad)

Karachi is out but there are players from karachi still representing
Sami (Islamabad)
Khalid Latif (Islamabad)
Sarfaraz (Gladiators)

Not forgetting some players are representing cities which had no franchise

Lot of room for fans to jump the bandwagon become neutral fans


Not forgetting both teams have stars from

• England (KP, Luke (force is strong with this one)
  
• Srilanka (Sangakara)
  
• West Indies (Russel , Badree)
  
• Newzeland (Elliot, mcullam)
  
• Australia (Hadin)
• Zimbabwe (Chigumbura)

A true final offering little bit of every thing to the fans

 

[Kambojaric]

Should be a good final. Il be supporting Quetta though. From the beginning I felt that they had a strong chance, when everyone was talking about Karachi and Peshawar (see link below).

[Al-zakir]

It sucks that Tamim could not play otherwise it could have turned out deffrently. What's done is Donal let's move on.

 

[SBD-3]

Noooooo

I wanted Quetta vs Peshawar final.

Well you don't wana have a play off repeat. United will offer a better competition than Zalmis, (Though I love Gladiators)

 

[S.U.R.B.]

Both of my favorite teams are in the final.
Can not get any better than this.


@friendly_troll96, missing you here mate.


Hard to decide between the two.Can be anybody's day.
But, Quetta seems to have a better chance with that break of 03 days to regroup and they'll be fresh.
IBD United has now got the momentum with them.
Since, i can't choose both sides of the coin.Have to choose one ,so i'll back Quetta to win this one.They were the "Mazloom team" from the start.
It's lovely to see how Sarfraz has groomed as a captain.He deserves to have the cup.
Misbah has seen it all and so has the united 11 of Islamabad.
Had it been any other team then, i would have been rooting for my hometown.

Whatever the result ,at the end of the day Pakistan is going to win this one.

Islamabad has stronger bowling attack then Quetta IMO, that could be problematic for Quetta specially since Islamabad are now fully charged and excited to win. But Sarfraz deserves a pat on the back, I think we have a future Pakistan national team captain in the making.
