Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Karachi Kings - Lahore Qalandars

By
PSL 24

The table has seen a lot of changes over the weekend. Multan Sultans, who were on top of the table has become fourth. Lahore Qalandars are still at the bottom of the table despite a win. Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United take the top two places, replacing Karachi Kings as well.

Today’s match is between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars. Both teams are on a good path and are not likely to change their lineup. I did have a hard time picking a lineup because the players that are consistent, I cannot have them all because of the points constraint. I had to drop Brendon McCullum because his salary is 11. I decided to keep two top players than one top-notch and one below average (no player who costs seven can be in your lineup in this match. Look at his performance. You will agree).

Lahore Qalandars:
Brendon McCullum (c), Sohail Khan, Sunil Narine, Mitchell McClenaghan, Yasir Shah, Anton Devcich, Agha Salman, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Afridi, Sohail Akhtar, Gulraiz Sadaf (wk)
Karachi Kings:
Joe Denly, Lendl Simmons, Babar Azam, Colin Ingram, Shahid Afridi, Ravi Bopara, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Imad Wasim (c), Mohammad Irfan Jnr, Mohammad Amir, Usman Khan
Consistent players
Usman Khan
Yasir Shah  / Imad Wasim
Shaheen Afridi
Sunil Narine
M Rizwan
Shahid Afridi
Anton Devcich
Fakhar Zaman
Colin Ingram
Babar Azam
Joe Denly

Since the match is still in Dubai, I pick batsmen as both my captain and vice-captain.

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. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Venues 

India Cements Ground, Thirunelveli
NPR College Ground, Dindigul 
MA Chitambaram Stadium, Chennai 


Changes
The purpose of every organization is to make it bigger and better. TNPL is no exception. At the inaugural TNPL 2016, there were the traditional two semifinals and one final. This year will see a format similar to IPL. The finalists are decided by two qualifiers along with one eliminator. This format has proven to be more exciting.…

Editors Pick ( PKL)

By
Not much cricket happening for the next two days. More time for Kabaddi now. We are in the month of October. Closer to the next round. The status of the teams on the Pro Kabaddi table matter big time now. It is time for the teams to keep an eye on their ranks all the time now. No pressure :)

Let’s take a look at the table. The top three teams in each zone make it to the next level. The points were very close at one point and then apart. Some teams have been super consistent doing well and others, consistently at the bottom of the table. Team A has four teams who are fighting for the next level big time - Gujarat Fortune Giants, Haryana Steelers, Puneri Paltan and U Mumba. Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi are closer to the bottom and will have to do really really well to make a difference. Zone B - the bottom two teams - Bengaluru Bulls and Tamil Thalaivas are not looking too hot. The top four teams are Patna Pirates, Bengal Warriors, U.P.Yoddha and Telugu Titans.

In a crux, any o…

Editor’s Pick (Women’s Cricket): India - West Indies

By
India, fourth on the table, has won her first game while West Indies lost. India has a lot to prove for her country. That She deserves as much love and support as the men in blue. Sad that She has to, but circumstances demand it. West Indies on the other hand are looking for a win to kick start their journey to the final.
It is a win-win situation for both the teams. But then, I want my fantasy lineup to win too. So, for this lineup, I have looked up not only the selection percentage generated by fans’ choice, but also the players’ performance in this tournament so far.
My Team 
-Chedean Nation -Mithali Raj -Smriti Mandhana -Punam Raut -Ekta Bisht -Shakera Salman -Shamilia Connel -Poonam Yadav -Meriss Aguilleira -Deepti Sharma -Harmanpreet kaur Let’s hope this clicks. Will you agree with it? Let’s hear some opinions shall we?
