Editor’s Pick (T20): Pakistan

Editor’s Pick (T20): Pakistan - World XI

The scores are tied now. The World XI team back back. Came back strongly at that in the second T20 match of the Independence Cup 2017 played in Pakistan to defeat the hosts by 7 wickets.

Here’s what happened. Amla hit 72 off 55 deliveries. Perera - 47 off 19. They had to hit a target of 175 and 175 they hit with one delivery to spare. Close match it was. Earlier Pakistan’s Babar Azam hit 45 and Ahmed Shehzad, 43. Even with Shoaib Malik’s contribution of 39, the score on the board was not enough.

Tomorrow’s the third and final match. The decider of the tournament. It will be close and tense. This is my pick

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results. The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today. A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik w

Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Multan Sultans - Islamabad United

PSL 25 Multan Sultans would now wonder what on earth happened. They are still doing well. They are still only one point short of the team that is on top of the table. They are still fourth on the table. With a bad run rate of -0.004. They need to get back on top. Islamabad United, on the other hand, is second on the table and quite pleased with themselves. Defending Champions are second to last on the table and have no idea what happened either. They probably do. Lahore Qalandars are showing signs of life now having won the second match by taking it to the super over level. (Lahore Qalandars defeated Karachi Kings). That was really something. Goes to show that we can neither sign off a team until the last minute nor guarantee that the defending champions are a shoo-in for the next round. Today’s match is between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United. With some brilliant performances being displayed by both teams, this match will be a good clash to watch. The venue moves to
