Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Peshawar Zalmi - Multan Sultans

By
PSL - 16

Flashback time for Peshawar Zalmi. And not a good one at that. They walked into the tournament thinking, “we are the defending champions we got this” and “they are debutants”. And they lost by seven whole wickets. Zalmi captain Sammy said they were ten runs short. They were also in excess when it came to confidence probably. Point is, in today’s match they will have learned their lessons hard. Zalmi is third on the points table, one point lower than Multan Sultans (the one point is ‘’cos one of the Sultans match was abandoned. Run rate wise, Zalmi has a better run rate. 0.01 difference but that matters trust me.

Today, Multan Sultans are on top of the table and on top of the world. They probably never thought they’d be here. They are loving it and are facing a team they have defeated before. They should not let that success go to their head. That would be the key.

Both teams are on a winning streak nevertheless and would not want to mess around in this game. The winner gets to the top of the table.

Peshawar Zalmi
Peshawar Zalmi will need someone really special to stand up to the Sultans tonight. Tamim Iqbal and Sabbir Rahman will not be available anymore as they play for Bangladesh in the Nidahas T20 series. This is a big loss for Zalmi. They will bank on wicket-keeper/batsman Kamran Akmal to take the team forward. Along with Dwayne Smith.
There is another problem. Captain Darren Sammy is confirmed to be out of the game with Harris Sohail. M Hafeez will then don the captain’s cap. Hasan Ali’s form will also be their advantage. So will Liam Dawson. What will Fletcher’s role be?

Key Players
Dwayne Smith
Hasan Ali
Kamran Akmal
M Hafeez

Multan Sultans
Imran Tahir will be their biggest weapon yet. Play him right and the team has a very good chance of making it to the next round in style. Captain Kumar Sangakkara brings in with him years of experience, expertise, and good advice to keep the team on the road to victory. He will remain the key even if he fails with the bat. Junaid Khan supports Tahir at the other end with the ball. With the bat, there is Shoaib Malik, K Pollard, and Ahmed Shehzad. The team has struck gold indeed. Keep the head in the game and the Multan Sultans will go all the way.

Key Players
Junaid Khan
Imran Tahir
Kumar Sangakkara
K Pollard
Shoaib Malik
S Tanvir
Ahmed Shehzad

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four.  Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013. This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League  DRS used in the league for the first time  Bravo : It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for
