Shahid Afridi is not going against the legendary Imran Khan. In his recent interview when he was asked that Imran Khan is not in favor of PSL final to be played in Lahore. Afridi said that Imran Khan can say whatever he likes. He is a senior man and we should listen to him. He said that Imran Khan knows things better. As far as Shahid Afridi is concerned he wants the people to know that he is happy that the final is played in Lahore. It is a great news for the Pakistani fans. They were hoping for this and now this is becoming reality. Shahid Afridi said that there will be a huge crowd present for the final and his advice to the PCB would be make sure there is plenty of sitting arrangements in the Lahore cricket stadium. There is no doubt that Afridi is right about here. However Imran Khan and Javed Miandad are not in the favor of this. These two legends of the game have another perspective. As per Imran the whole league should have been played in Pakistan. He said that there is no log...

Big West Indian Rakheem Cornwall hit a fifty against England and now the world has been talking about his giant batter. In fact Rakheem is an all-rounder and he is an absolutely monster. Against his size every other human being in the ground was looking so small. He hit some huge shots. The power is already there and Rakheem just showed it to the Englishmen. He was hitting the ball straight most of the time and that is where he scored most of his shots. This was a truly amazing knock from the big man. The moment Rakheem walked into the ground everyone started talking about his height and physique. The West Indian is huge in all contexts. He is tall and even his t-shirt was out of the trouser. Most of the time when he was hitting his shots the bally was popping out. But then again the cricketing shots he played were good. He was dropped by Moeen Ali at long off and after that Rakheem utilized this chance to the full. He first hit the off spinner over long off. There was no fielder prese...

Pakistan Super League is becoming very famous day by day. Pakistan Super League is no doubt a very exciting T20 league in the cricket world. The news about PSL final is that it is going to be held in Lahore. Pakistan Cricket Board will have many young talent due to PSL. Young Hasan Ali who becomes famous due to his outstanding bowling last night in the Zalmi party copies Shahid Afridi’s Boom Boom Style. In copying the style he has done something wrong then Afridi came in and he corrects the style. All the Peshawar Zalmi squad was present in this official dinner. We had the ever loving Alan hosting this dinner. The Peshawar Zalmi team was asked to copy each other bowling and celebration style and Hasan Ali and Kamran Akmal stole the show here. Kamran was the first who went in and copied the bowling style of Hafeez. He did a great job. In fact he even coped the hand movement in the hairs which Hafeez does before bowling. Then came Hasan Ali. He showed how Afridi celebrated after taking a...

Pollard was the man who took a ripper to get the important wicket of Smith in the game between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings last night. The West Indian had to run a lot to his right and then at the end it was a one handed blinder from him. This was one of the best takes from PSL this season. Pollard is known to make such brilliant efforts at the boundary line. He has taken a lot of such catches in multiple leagues. This is probably his best catch in the PSL so far. The Karachi Kings took an important wicket down courtesy to this take. This was a very crucial moment for both these sides. Smith has been in a great form with the bat. He is the leading run scorer in the tournament and he would have taken more runs. Even this hit was almost going for a six but Pollard who has a huge height took this one at the edge of the line. Pollard judged this one perfectly. This was a really great take. The Islamabad side got a huge blow after Smith got out. His side wanted him to bat longer but ...

Shahid Afridi once showed the angry side of him to the little batsman Babar Azam. This happened in the first game Karachi Kings played against Peshawar Zalmi. Shahid Afridi was not happy with the way Babar tried to play a hard shot on his ball. Babar wanted to thrash the ball on the off side. It was a good ball and after hitting the inside half of the bat, it went back to Afridi. The star all-rounder picked up the ball and his long gaze full of anger was priceless to watch. Babar started looking on the leg side to avoid an eye contact with Afridi. Babar also did the right thing. He started looking towards the other side in order to make sure he gets no eye contact with Afridi. We have seen that there are some intense games played in this PSL. The second edition had more fire in it. The players who are seniors even they have been losing their patience. Afridi on a lot of occasions was seen getting hyper but the good things is that his facial expression did change but he kept his mouth c...

Islamabad United leg spinner Shadab Khan is the best of the talents playing in the PSL at the moment. The leg spinner is young and very skillful. He has the talent and potential under his belt. He has bowled really well in the PSL so far. He has taken wickets in almost every game. Last night he picked up three wickets in three overs. He was fantastic with the ball. The best ball he bowled was the one which took the stumps down against Babar Azam. This was a wrong one and was disguised so beautifully that Babar Azam despite being well settled at the crease failed to defend it. This was the third and last over for Shadab in the rain effected game. Shadab on the second last ball took the wicket of Shoaib Malik. Shoaib wanted to hit the leggy across the line. This one spun sharp and all Malik had to offer was a big top edge and Haddin took this catch down. On the last ball of the over Shadab cleaned up Babar on a beauty. Another big wrong one and Babar was completely bamboozled on this one...

LAHORE: The Government of Punjab has given green signal to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for holding the final of Pakistan Super League in Lahore.

Hoping for the revival of cricket in Pakistan after the successful staging of PSL final, Sethi said, "Hopefully,...

Rameez Raja tried to corner Danny Morrison in his post-game analysis segment but it seemed the former Kiwi bowler knew what Rameez was throwing at him. Rameez posted questions in Urdu to Danny and the kiwi bowler gave all the right answers. Danny Morrison has learnt to understand a bit of Urdu it seems. He is a part of IPL and PSL and both Hindi and Urdu are languages which are similar to each other in speech. Rameez was pretty much impressed with the Urdu understanding of Danny. Now this is something really amazing. He has learnt Urdu a bit. The way he was understanding the questions clearly showed that he knew about some of the words and he was then trying to make sense of the question in his mind. As for the PSL the event reaches the final round. Tomorrow the playoffs will start. The Peshawar Zalmi will face the Quetta Gladiators in the first match. Then the Islamabad United will meet the Karachi Kings in the second contest. These will be some good games to watch. All the teams are ...

The Karachi Kings owner Salman Iqbal is pretty happy and the fans are also very excited. Karachi Kings have started to look a dangerous side now. Their key players Pollard and Gayle are back into their batting forms. We saw last night what Gayle did to the Islamabad team.  Now as the Karachi Kings are in the playoffs this will get more exciting. They will play against Islamabad whom they have beaten twice in the last two games. They are in a good form as well so for the first time in this second edition of the PSL, Karachi has started to look very dangerous. There is no doubt the Karachi Kings have played good cricket in the last two games. The best thing about this side is that two of their major players Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard are back in form as well. So last night we saw how Gayle made the match so easy for his side. Karachi Kings are now in the play offs and this will be exciting because they have a good solid unit and they have started to perform really well. As per Sa...

Back in 1987 Pakistan made a tour to India. Both arch rivals played some good cricket and despite not being favored by the umpires as they were busy in saving Indian team all the time Pakistan won the test series. The umpiring from this series was absolutely poor. Imran Khan and Javed Miandad at times lost their cool against the umpires. This is one of those times when the umpire did not give Sunil Gavaskar out despite being clear out. There was no element of doubt in these two dismissals and yet Sunil was not given out. This is the famous 1987 test series and here the umpires gave the Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar not out twice. The first time he was plumb in front of the stumps against the bowling of Iqbal Qasim. The ball spun back a lot here and Gavaskar was nowhere close to the line of the ball. He was on his back foot and the ball hit the back leg. This was out by all the lbw standards. The Pakistani team made a huge shout and the umpire gave it not out. After this Gavaskar was ca...

DUBAI: Chris Gayle struck form as Karachi Kings won the match against Islamabad United by six wickets on Sunday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, ensuring their place in the playoffs of Pakistan Super League 2017. Chris Gayle scored quick-fire 44 runs off 17 balls —striking back-to-back three sixes — but soon got out to Saeed Ajmal. However, Babar Azam continued the flow of runs from the other end until he was bowled by Shadab Khan with a well-disguised googly. Shadab picked two-in-two which brought hopes alive for United but responsible batting by Kieron Pollard (20) and Ravi Bopara (11) sealed the deal for Kings. Saeed Ajmal also picked up one wicket but failed to make much impact on the match. Earlier during the United’s innings, opener Dwayne Smith scored 49 runs but lacked support from the other end as the team failed to get momentum to play aggressively. Brad Haddin with 20 and Ben Duckett with 16 were the other top scorers. For Kings, Sohail Khan, Muhammad Amir and Usman...

Sohail Khan the Karachi Kings fast bowler is a funny fellow. In his latest interview with Rameez Raja he showed his funny side and Rameez cracked wide open into laughter on his answer. Rameez question was that Sohail knows about bowling and all that. Sohail said that he does know about bowling but there are people who don’t know that he is a bowler and can bowl. Obviously he was talking about someone who is not in favor of him. It could be anyone but most of the people think that it is his coach Mickey Arthur. Sohail Khan did say a lot of things in his message. He did not name anyone but there is definitely something with which the fast bowler is not happy about. As per the fans it is something that involves his coach Mickey Arthur. There were reports that during the England tour Sohail and the Pakistani coach Arthur had an intense debate regarding Sohail’s fitness and even Arthur asked Sohail to leave the side if he does not work on his fitness. Now the same man is the coach of Sohail...

Mohammad Amir could not control his emotions today. The left arm pacer had a go at the young leg spinner Shadab who hit him for a six and then got out on the next ball. Amir was lucky that Malik was in the right place else this could have been another boundary. The leg spinner did not reply back and went off the field. Amir who has been now considered as an average bowler by the cricket fans has to control his emotions against juniors. There was no need to say all the nasty stuff to the little leg spinner. Amir first bowled a short ball to Shadab and the leg spinner who has shown some strong bating germs went back in his crease and hit the ball over deep backward square leg for a sic. This was a much needed boundary for the Islamabad United. Now Amir did not like the shot. The next ball another poor one on the leg side and once again Shadab picked this one beautifully down the deep fine leg. Only this time the ball went straight into the hands of the fielder Shoaib Malik. Amir said a l...

It seems that for Karachi Kings their good days have started. They had Pollard coming back to the batting form in the precious game and today Chris Gayle showed his magic with the bat. After being totally out of form with the bat for all the previous matches, Gayle hit 44 off 17 balls today. He smashed five sixes in his innings. Two went to the pacer Mohammad Irfan and then three back to back sixes came off the bowling of Saeed Ajmal. Saeed did get him out on the next ball but by that time the damage was done from Gayle. Gayle first picked up Irfan on the leg side. This was a length ball and Gayle managed to hit this one from the middle. At first it looked as if the ball might have not come off the middle but still it went for a six. The second one was swept on the leg side again. On both these shots the pace of Irfan and the power of Gayle was enough for the ball to be taken over the ropes on the full. After this Saeed Ajmal came into the arc of Gayle. Three balls and three huge sixes...

Shahid Afridi innings last night was one of the very best in this second edition of the PSL. It has been a roller coaster ride for the Peshawar Zalmi side. They were almost out of the game last night and then Afridi happened. The innings was a match winning one. The night was emotional for the team and Zalmi fans as well. Some find it really hard to control the emotions. But that is the love we all have in our hearts for cricket. Shahid Afridi has done really well once again. He is the star of the show in this PSL. Peshawar Zalmi bowled well last night. Asghar the left arm young gun fired and picked up both the Quetta openers. He was the one who picked up the important wicket of KP as well. He was later named the man of the match as well. Despite chasing a low total the Peshawar batting line fumbled. They stutter at the start and then in no time they were 5 wickets down. There was a sense of emergency in the match at that point for the Zalmi. This was the moment when Shahid Afridi who ...

The fan girl has gone viral and even the Peshawar Zalmi captain Darren Sammy saw her and he mentioned her in his post-game interview. Rameez asked the Peshawar Zalmi captain not to play such games as they get very emotional. Sammy said that this is the love people have given to the Zalmi side. He said that he feel proud and honored that people love his side this much. The girl was holding a stuffed toy, a rabbit and Sammy said that the rabbit was his side’s lucky charm. It was emotional night Sammy accepted that. He said that it was an important game for him and his side and they really wanted to win this one. It was not that much of a conclusive win Sammy said but he was happy that at least his side did win. Sammy said that he will make sure that his side gives a thumping performance in the upcoming matches. Peshawar Zalmi could not get to the modest total of 129 had Shahid Afridi not played a match winning knock. He was absolutely fantastic last night. Afridi scored 45 runs with the ...

Ab Khel Jame Ga”, yes because passion of cricket is at its height as PSL continues to gain more and more attention day by day. Among five teams, after tough competition two teams will play for the trophy in finals. Guess what? This time the final will be played in Pakistan and this calls for a party.

They are not ready to shift final from Lahore at any cost.People who had lost hope to witness exciting match in Pakistan should just prepare themselves fo...

Shahid Afridi comes with a bang and this time with the bat. He has won a sensational game of cricket for the Peshawar Zalmi. The Quetta Gladiators have been defeated by Shahid Afridi. There was no other player who came in as a hurdle for Quetta but Afridi. Afridi changed the complexion of the game with his bat today. His 45 not out gave Zalmi the win. They were almost out of the game and then Afridi came in and played some remarkable shots. It was an innings which could easily be referred as the best one from the PSL. This innings from Shahid Afridi is the best one he has played in the PSL. He has a fifty to his name in the game against Karachi but this is different here. This innings had the responsibility to finish the game. Against Karachi Afridi could not win the game. Here he won the game and made a few ladies really emotional. This innings had big shots and some cheeky cricket as well. The last two boundaries which Afridi hit were pure timing and placement. He used the gaps pres...

Shahid Afridi has shown his magic once again. The Peshawar Zalmi all-rounder showed his magic with the bat today. He scored 45 runs with the bat and hit the most important innings of the match for Zalmi. His batting put Zalmi over the line. After the win comes the celebrations from Shahid Afridi and this was the typical Shahid Afridi style of celebrations. He hit a great innings under pressure. There cannot be any other player from Zalmi who could have done this. Under pressure they all fell except for Shahid Afridi. Shahid Afridi was absolutely sensational and there is no doubt about it. He almost got out on the first ball. Against the spinner Mehmoodullah he went down the track and mistimed his shot towards long off. He was lucky that the ball did not reach the fielder. But then after that Afridi realized that he has to bat till the end. There was not much batting left with the last known batter Hafeez standing with him at the other end. The Pathan then hit some big shots only when h...

DUBAI: West Indian batsman Kieron Pollard smashed two sixes off last two deliveries of the final over to take his team to a 5-wicket win against Lahore Qalandars and keep Karachi Kings alive in the second edition of the Pakistan Super League on Saturday. Kings needed 14 off the final over and 10 off last two balls as Pollard smashed Aamer Yamin for a six to long-off on 5th delivery and then on deep mid-wicket for another sixer to complete the victory for Karachi Kings. Pollard smashed four sixes and one four to score 45 off just 20 deliveries, Imad Wasim remained not out after scoring 19 off 14. Chasing a target of 156, Kings were provided a solid base by opener Babar Azam, who scored 49 off 42 deliveries, stroking seven boundaries. Earlier, responsible batting display by Mohammad Rizwan and Sohail Tanvir helped Lahore post 155-6 in 20 overs after they were invited to bat first by Karachi Kings who won the toss. Rizwan and Sohail added 55 runs for sixth wicket partnership after Lahore...

Karachi Kings has won another nail bitter against the Lahore Qalandars. This is another superb game of cricket. The Karachi Kings finally had the big man Pollard taken some form back with the bat. He finished the game for his side. It was Pollard against the Lahore side. Only he could have won this game for the Karachi side with the bat and he did that. This is excellent cricket. There is a series of thrillers we are witnessing here in the second edition of the PSL. Lahore are almost out of the event now. We have drama last night and once again we have drama today. Karachi Kings won their final game of the PSL group stage game today and that too on the final ball of the match. Pollard fired for them in the final overs and made the win possible. This is again one of the best games of the PSL witnessed so far. Lahore is out here from the race of play offs. There is no chance left for them. Karachi Kings at one stage were out of the game but the Pollard brought them back with some lusty ...

There you go India loses the first test and this is an incredible win for the Australians. The Indian batting line never looked in good shape against Australia. The bowling from the Australians was brilliant and they eventually sealed off the deal. India loses the first test against Australia. The number one team in the world in the test format was taken down by the Australians here in Pune. The Indian team did not look in a good batting shape. Kohli and his men need to put in a lot of efforts. Left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe had the Indian batsmen in tangles with yet another five-wicket haul as the hosts faced an embarrassing defeat against Australia by 333 runs O'Keefe was again the wrecker-in-chief again grabbing 6 for 35 to add to his first innings 6 for 35 that has left India face their first defeat at home in 21 Tests since the Kolkata game against England in 2012. This was after Australia scored 285 in their second innings with skipper Steven Smith providing a masterclas...

Quetta Gladiators captain Sarfraz Ahmed saw his team losing a very close match against Islamabad United last night. In fact it was a game which his side should have won easily. Till the last two overs were left to be bowled from Islamabad, the game was with Quetta. In the last two overs Quetta was pushed out of the game. Sarfraz Ahmed in his post-match talk gave the credit to Mohammad Sami who bowled a brilliant last over. He said that the match turned in the favor of Islamabad in the final moments and they all deserve to be appreciated. Sarfraz Ahmed found it hard to believe when his side Quetta Gladiators lost a very close game against Islamabad United last night. It was an absolute thriller and on the last ball of the match the Islamabad side won the game in a stunning manner. In the post-match talk with Rameez Raja, Sarfraz Ahmed said that he was not expecting it but in cricket at times you have to face such situations. He said that they were in the game but just could not finish i...

DUBAI (Dunya News) - Islamabad United defeated Quetta Gladiators by 1 run in a match that turned out to be a nail-biting contest in the depth overs of the second innings. Apparently the Galdiators were making their way to a convincing win however the last two overs took the match away from them. Sami bowled exceptionally well as he defended just five runs in the last over while giving his side a win out of nowhere. Earlier, in the 17th match of PSL 2017, the defending champions Islamabad United had to face the challenge of mighty Quetta Gladiators at Dubai Sports City. Quetta Gladiators won the toss and elected to field first as they replaces Mills and Hamza with Perera and Zulfiqar. As far as Islamabad United was concerned, they made two changes while bringing in Badree and Talat for Duckett and Amad. KP scored a boundary of Watson’s over as he helped his side cruising towards the victory. Shadab Khan came strongly in the eighteenth over as he trapped the dangerous KP plumbed in front...

Ahmad Shahzad and Kevin Pietersen both were seen stranded in the middle of the pitch in order to complete a double. As a result they both got confused. It was a certain run out chance but the Islamabad side missed it. This was another thriller. To be hones the best match of the PSL so far. The Quetta gladiators were stunned by the Islamabad United today on the final ball of the match. Islamabad defended 6 runs in the final overs. This was a quality game of cricket. The Islamabad United won the game out of nowhere in the final two overs. Once again this shows that you cannot take Islamabad side lightly. They are one mentally strong unit. The Quetta Gladiators were winning this game till the final two overs were left. Once the Islamabad Unite took the wicket of Kevin Pietersen and Ahmad Shahzad they did not look back. Rumman took the important wicket of Sarfraz in the second last over. He did not give much runs as well. In the final over it was all down to the birthday boy Mohammad Sami...

DUBAI: A valiant fightback by Sohail Tanvir and Yasir Shah went in vain as Lahore Qalandars lost to Peshawar Zalmi by 17 runs in the 16th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2017 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday. Qalandars faced another shock implosion in their chase of 167, overshadowing a blistering start by Cameron Delport who fell for 32. Fakhar Zaman, captain Brendon McCullum, Umar Akmal, Grant Elliott, Mohammad Rizwan followed him to the pavilion soon after. Sunil Narine tried putting up a fight and gave Qalandars a ray of hope, before falling for 21. Qalandars’ chase was revived by Sohail Tanvir and Yasir Shah, who blasted boundaries in attempt to chase down the widening gap between runs and balls and took the side to 149-9. Zalmi earlier started off shakily against Lahore Qalandars after losing opener Tamim Iqbal to a brilliant caught & bowled by Aamer Yamin, after Darren Sammy won the toss and opted to bat first. A rapid 58 by Kamran Akmal, however, st...

Lahore Qalandars has lost another important game here. They failed to get to the total. Their batting once again let them down. This is one thing which the Lahore side has not taken care off so far. In every game they meet a successful batting failure. The middle order failed from the Lahore team. The Lahore side will have to make sure that in the next they don’t get one. But at the same time there is an issue that now their chances to make it into the final four is in danger. They are almost out of the contention. Another big time failure for the Lahore Qalandars. Once again it was their batting that let them down. In this important game the Lahore Qalandars were not chasing a big total. It was an average T20 total but the way Lahore went after the total was bizarre. The Lahore side did not play well today in this crucial game. For every team there are two games left and they needed to win this one. There is a very tight competition amongst the teams and they need to win all their mat...

The Indian skipper Virat Kohli got out for duck today. This is his first test duck after two and a half years. The Indian skipper played a foul shot. There was no need to chase this length ball way outside the off stump. The edge was produced and Australia does not miss such chances. Kohli took a break near the boundary line. He was waiting for the new man. He had a chat with him. He must have asked him to remain calm. But Australia did not let India take any advantage in the batting. They wrapped them up quickly today on the second day of the test match. When India took quick wickets on day one it was looking as if they will repeat the kind of performance they gave against the New Zealand and England. Getting the opponents out early and then smashing a huge total in the first innings. That did not happen at all. The Australians had Starc standing up for them at the start. In India the pacer bowled some great balls. The pace was there. The bounce was there for him which was a strange ...

Shahid Afridi comes up to the camera once again and the all-rounder has again said that his international career is over. Talking to Rameez Raja the Peshawar Zalmi all-rounder said that he has no plans for international cricket now. Afridi said that he will now play the T20 franchise cricket and that too to make his fans happy. There will be some years of cricket seen from him and after that he will not play any sort of cricket.
