Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Multan Sultans

Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Multan Sultans - Quetta Gladiators.

PSL: 17

Multan Sultans are probably humming the song, “nothing’s gonna stop us now’. And probably nothing is stopping them at the moment. Playing PSL for the first time, this team has exceeded all expectations - even their own - and has come on top in a fabulous way. And they have beaten the defending champions, Peshawar Zalmi, not once but twice. So, if anyone had called their first victory a fluke or beginner’s luck; they have put that thought to rest.

The Sultans have also met Quetta Gladiators before and has defeated them. Humiliated them, rather. Karachi Kings have a prayer of a hope right now of defeating the new kids on the block. Time will tell.

Multan Sultans

Nothing more to say about them. Top of the table with nine glorious points. Has everything going for them. They will stick to their winning combination and winning ways.

Quetta Gladiators

Second last on the table. Meeting the team that beat the defending champions twice. And has lost to them as well. The gladiators need to rethink their strategy if they want to progress in this tournament. They do not want to be stuck at the bottom of the table like Lahore Qalandars.

Editor's Pick (ODI Finals): Bangladesh - Sri Lanka

The finals are finally here. Bangladesh meets Sri Lanka leaving Zimbabwe out. You might think that being home series for Bangladesh, it is really no big deal. But it really is not so. Sri Lanka lost home series. Now Australia is facing severe defeat by England. There is no such thing that it is normal for the home team to win anymore. Plus I would really like to appreciate Bangladesh for the way they are making into the big league of cricket today. If you look at the points table, you will see that Bangladesh won three out of four matches. Their points - 15 - are almost four times the score of Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka, with 9 points, made it to the finals. The last match saw Sri Lanka Beat Bangladesh. The only match that the home team ever lost. Makes you wonder if Bangladesh peaked a tad too early, doesn’t it? It was a comprehensive win for Sri Lanka. Bangladesh were 82 all out in 24 overs. Sri Lanka hit the target in less than 12 overs and won by ten wickets. It was really a o

Blog Time: India beat South Africa by 63 runs

It is a pleasure to write a winning blog like this when our team is visiting a tough pitch such as South Africa. Us winning in India is actually no big deal seeing as our pitch conditions are designed to suit our needs and preferences. Winning in South Africa is a fantastic. Take a bow. To beat South Africa on that wicket was really really something. A tremendous effort by the men in blue. We have taken 60 wickets in three test matches. This is a rare event in away from home series. Looking at how the lineup on Fantain Fantasy App worked. In my lineup, I had picked Virat Kohli as the captain. He earned 69.5 points giving me almost 140 (the captain is awarded twice the points he makes on the app). The winner who played in the 250 rupee pool and won a whopping thousand rupees - he made Bhuvneshwar Kumar as his captain and Vernon Philander as the VC. A very smart move seeing as this pitch is the playground of fast bowlers. The pitch can clearly decide not only the bowle

Blog Time: Bangladesh Beats Sri Lanka

Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in their own den. The Lions losing to India was somewhat alright. I mean it is India. And the current team is one of the best teams in the world. They also defeated South Africa in South Africa. But Sri Lanka losing to Bangladesh in Sri Lanka will be extremely hard to digest. A lot of people were surprised. Now I have the habit of rooting for the underdogs and I had a feeling that Bangladesh had it in them. It was nice to be able to tell others, “I told you that Bangladesh could win”. Mushfiqur Rahim held back his celebrations until the winning runs were stroked What did happen? Sri Lanka came in to bat first and hit a solid 214 runs in 20 overs. It was a very good score indeed. Perera’s 74 along with Kusal Mendis’s 57 took the runs to a competitive level. It seemed like a sure-fire win for the lions. A very fair assumption to make too. And then came in Bangladesh. From the word go, they were on the track to victory. The first wicket fell at
