Editor's Pick(T20): Karachi Kings - Quetta Gladiators

By
With the first match between defending champions and newbies turning out to be a thriller, the second and third match today could be just as exciting.


Quetta Gladiators : Rilee Rossouw, Jason Roy, Kevin Pietersen, Rameez Raja, Asad Shafiq, Umar Amin, Sarfraz Ahmed(w/c), Shane Watson, Mohammad Nawaz, Mahmudullah, Jofra Archer, Saad Ali, Saud Shakeel, Anwar Ali, Rashid Khan, Hassan Khan Mohammad, Mir Hamza, Rahat Ali
Karachi Kings : Babar Azam, Joe Denly, Colin Ingram, Khurram Manzoor, Lendl Simmons, Saifullah Bangash, Eoin Morgan, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Mohammed Taha, Tabish Khan, Imad Wasim(c), Ravi Bopara, Hasan Mohsin, Shahid Afridi, David Wiese, Usama Mir, Tymal Mills, Mohammad Amir, Usman Khan

Many of the faces at PSL are new faces. When we play the matches on the Fantain Fantasy app, we are more than likely to be stumped because of this. One way to decide if you want the player on the app is if they have played an international match and have made a mark. For example, many of them have played recently at the big bash and at the tri-series between England, Australia, and New Zealand. For example Rashid Khan, Mahmudullah. Players such as Jason Roy, Kevin Pietersen, Babar Azam are familiar names. They have a reputation.

As the tournament progresses, you can see the points they have scored on the Fantain Fantasy App to see how their form is and if they are consistent.

For now, let’s see the key players in this match. There are talented players on both sides. A few popular players too.

Karachi Kings.
New Captain Imad Wasim would be full of ideas for a good positive start. Veteran Shahid Afridi is on the side of the Kings. He is a T20 specialist the team is lucky to have. A few good overseas players boost the team. Eoin Morgan. Ravi Bopara. Colin Ingram. Once Eoin Morgan becomes available for the PSL League, make sure to include him in your lineup. For now, he is playing for his country.
Babar Azam could give the team the much-needed acceleration.

Key Players
Shahid Afridi
Babar Azam
Imad Wasim
Colin Ingram
Mohammad Amir
Usman Khan

Quetta Gladiators
This team has performed exceedingly well in the first two seasons of PSL. Good enough to make it to the finals but not enough. They settled for the runner-up trophy both times. They will want to make sure they take that extra effort to get the PSL championship trophy this year. Will they be lucky?

Sarfraz Ahmed, the Pakistan National Cricket Team Captain leads the Gladiators. That is a big boost indeed. Lots of experience as well. Kevin Pietersen. Shane Watson. Mahmudullah. Rashid Khan. Jason Roy joins the team later. Umar Amin should take this chance to prove himself. Saud Shakeel looks like a good pick too.

Key Players
Sarfraz Ahmed
Jofra Archer
Kevin Pietersen
Mahmudullah
Rahat Ali

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket.

There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

Four more days of Kabaddi, a teeny break and the next round commences on October 23rd. The super playoffs. All this hard work only for that. A look at the point table will give you an idea about who COULD go to the next level. Course anything could happen in the last minute. Anyone could topple. You remember the havoc Bangladesh created during the Champions Trophy. They threw out the big guns. I mean, they probably stopped West Indies from qualifying too, come to think of it. Back to Kabaddi. Zone A is still topped by Gujarat followed by Haryana and Pune. The other three teams - Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. Zone B, Bengal take the lead followed by Patna and UP. Today’s match-UP meets Bengaluru. UP is third and are doing very good for themselves. Bengaluru, fifth on the table, don’t really look like they have a chance. Only thing they do want to do now is walk out with a smile saying yes, we tried. UP Yoddha - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas) Defenders – Jeeva Kumar, Ha

From all of us Fans to Players & Officials: Please don't treat us with kid gloves

By Anonymous
As any fan will tell you, we not just love, but understand the sport and our teams like no one else. And that’s also why they keep bankrolling the big fat salaries of the players, the profits of the clubs and the boondoggle of officials. The recently concluded test match raised, in my mind, three instances where the thought process seems to be – it is OK for us to handle it, but it is too hot for fans . Common, now, please don’t treat us with kid gloves. One: The first one, inevitably, is about the DRS and taking the dugouts inputs in it. The rules are clear – the decision to ask for a decision review stays with the players on the field. Within a few seconds of the umpires’ decision, the batting team can dispute an out decision or the bowling team can dispute a not-out decision, without consulting with anyone outside the playing field. The controversy of Smith’s ‘brain-fade’ and Kohli’s allegations have played out ad nauseam on TV and cyberspace, so I will spare you that
