Goes full and straight, he gets behind the line and pummels it down the ground for a boundary as Lahore Qalandars overpower Multan Sultans by 21 runs and have qualified for a spot in the playoffs. Their bowling attack is such a well-oiled machine that keeps getting the job done for them
Qalandars vs Sultans, 20th Match at Lahore, PSL 2023, Mar 04 2023 - Match Result
Haris Rauf has broken the record for most ducks (6) in T20s for LQ, going past Shaheen Shah Afridi's 5
Pollard and Anwar Ali's 49-run partnership is MS's highest for the 7th wicket in T20s, breaking the record of 38 between Shahid Afridi and Sohail Tanvir
Comprehensive win for Lahore Qalandars, who are through to the playoffs, yet again. They have beaten the Multan Sultans by 21 runs. Rashid keeps getting better and better with each passing game, he delivered another sensational spell (3/15) and made sure Multan don't sniff back in the game, wickets kept coming at regular intervals and the likes of Rossouw, Pollard, and Miller all struggled against the quality bowling attack. Shaheen and Rauf did what they do best, nailed the yorkers and stymied the run-flow at the death but it was Rashid who strangled them in the middle overs and as a result of this win Qalandars have now bagged 12 points and only suffered one defeat thus far in PSL 8. Multan Sultans are in a strong position too with 8 points and they have still got three games to play. Thanks for joining us and I'll see you tomorrow for the Quetta Gladiators versus Islamabad United game. Goodbye and goodnight!
Afeef: "Pollard also completed 12000 T20Hammad: "Pollard completed 12k runs and 800 sixes.." runs, only the 3rd player to do so"
Hammad: "Pollard completed 12k runs and 800 sixes.."
Afeef: "I don't think Kohli could've chased 76 off the last 5 overs today at this ground against this attack... "
shariq: "@malikmurad rasid khan is consistent at leagues, no performances at intl level against top teams"
Shar: "the decision to send Usama Mir backfired"
Aman: "@Rvel, not everyone is of Kohli's ability who can play Rauf and Shaheen comfortably" Kohli is an aberration ofcourse
Amnah: "Multan Sultan were not in the right frame from the beginning, too many extras, too many misfields, sluggish approach while chasing, lack of intent'" Good points
Malik Murad: "Is there any other player better than Rashid Khan who is more consistent at the league and international levels? I don't think so. "
Coudn't get underneath on this occasion, it was in his swinging arc, pitched up outside off, picked it across the line and gets holed out to Rashid at deep midwicket
Smoked it! Pollard hits 800th six in hisT20 career, this was effortlessly tonked over square leg
Shorter length, angled across off stump, can't connect
Hurls down a shorter delivery and he can't lay his bat on it
This is bread and butter for Pollard, a dibbly dobbly half-tracker on off and he thumps it merrily towards midwicket fence
Takes the aerial route again, gives him enough length to use his long levers and he wallops this over deep midwicket for a flat six!
On a full length, sliding down leg, off the radar
That's the expected response from Shaheen, delivers a toe-crusher and he obliges to block
Full and straight, All the way to long-off fence, Rauf gamely jumped for it one-handed but no dice, that came out of the screws, flat six
Ugly hoick across the line, he stays back in his crease, trying to hook the ball, gets the splice and it lands short of long-off
Banged into the pitch around middle and off, he belts it acros the line into the acreage at cow corner and even a batter of Pollard quality can't do much against the likes of SHaheen and Haris
That's a terrific slower one to hoodwink Pollard who was too early into the pull shot and missed it completely
Pounds it straight down the ground, full at the stumps and he just drove clean through the line, but didn't get the meaty part and it holds up in the surface
SaraT: "BatsmeAmnah: "Multan Sultan were not in the right frame from the beginning, too many extras, too many misfields, sluggish approach while chasing, lack of intent'"n wins you matches, Bowlers wins you tournaments..!! "
Snorter of a bouncer on a line wide outside off, swing and a miss
Pitched up on middle and leg, drilled down and Shaheen runs across, puts in the slide and cuts it off well
Out of the sweet spot. Clubbed for six to give the crowd something to cheer about. Goes full and takes the pace off the ball, Anwar Ali rocks back and clobbers this out of sight
it's a bigee!
On a length and aiming at the body, he goes hard at it and cannot get it past the man at backward square region
Nicely placed, much needed boundary to break the shackles, slower one on a shorter length, sits up nicely for him to extend his levers and knock it over square leg boundary
Haris is rapid and fires another heat-seeking wide yorker, he can't lay bat on it
