Babar Azam was in very good form while batting for Islamabad United. Islamabad United would have scored 200/220 plus if he had survived till the last wicket. However, James Neesham and Tom Kohler-Cadmore are currently batting, if they both perform well, they can score a lot of runs. If Peshawar Zalmi's bowling performance was better than the first condition, so many runs would not have been scored. But today's game is going very well Islamabad United is currently batting 156 runs 4 wickets and 17 overs.
Peshawar Zalmi are batting after losing the toss against Islamabad United. So far 11 overs have been played. Peshawar Zalmi's total after 11 overs is 120-2/11. Babar Azam has been outstanding with the bat so far. He really came out to bat with a lot of confidence today. Because the shots he is playing can only be played by a professional batsman and if he has a lot of confidence in himself. If Babar Azam can stay on the wicket at the end then Peshawar Zalmi runs will be 200 plus today.
Babar Azam is very serious today - he is going good with his partner I believe Zalmi will give a good target to Islamabad. In my opinion - Zalmi will be next finalist in the PSL 8
Looking fwd for a great match today

If Babar Azam can stay on the wicket at the end then Peshawar Zalmi runs will be 200 plus today.
Peshawar Zalmi is going strong with their batting , both their main batsmen are on crease and if Islamabad United couldn't take wickets their partnership will be disaster for them.
Islamabad United are considered favorites to win as they have played fairly well in previous matches. But Peshawar Zalmi is not a very weak team so if they play a bit better they are also likely to win. So in the match we will see a good games and one team will be seen to win by a very small margin. Both teams are capable of scoring 150 runs so it looks like both teams will score above 150.
So you are considering Islamabad united to be the favorite team but Babar Azam from Peshawar Zalmi is taking the game away from Islamabad United. Babar Azam has scored 49 runs in only 27 balls and is still not out in the match. Remember this is an eliminator match and one big inning by a player can be a game changer for the team.
Islamabad united should get few quick wickets right now otherwise Peshawar Zalmi are on its way to 200 runs. Remember chasing is always going to be challenging in a knockout match.
Babar Azam is performing well. He has complete his half century - he will try to win this match to reach to final

Islamabad United will have hard time chasing if they'll not stop Peshawar from scoring high.

While Lahore Qalandars were playing at home and having amazing performance in their early matches most expectations were they will win and go through into last two, but Multan Sultans give them shocking defeat even target was also not good, but I have feeling they were overconfident and feeling easy game which give them big below now they have be settled for the winner of today eliminator winner
No doubt Lahore Qalanders are one of the most consistent match winner in this 8 season of HBL PSL. But if you deeply observe thier statistics you will find out they most of the time when the bat first they crushed Thier opponent and win the match due to strong bowling lineup but if you check out they lose two matches against karachi in this season and the reason is they bowl first, most of the time when they come to chase they lose it and example of them are two match against karachi, recent match against Peshawer and now this play off against Multan, Thier batter didn't feel comfortable to chase rather than giving target.

Yes Brother, T20 cricket is known for its unpredictable nature and even the strongest teams can be beaten by underdogs. It is possible that the Lahore Qalandars were overconfident and underestimated the Multan Sultans which led to their surprising defeat. Now that they have to play against the winner of the eliminator it is important for them not to make the same mistake and take their opponents seriously. Both Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi are strong teams and can give tough competition to Lahore Qalandars. Every team is capable of winning on their day so Lahore Qalandars will have to play their best and not take anything for granted. It will be an interesting game to watch and it is difficult to predict which team will come out on top.Anyways Congratulations Multan Sultans qualify for Final Match and let see which team will be play against in Multan Sultans in Final Match
Multan Sultans bowled well. And all Lahore Qalandar's wickets were taken in just 14 overs. Which was really incredible and where Multan Sultans scored 160, Lahore Qalandar's lost all wickets for just 76 runs. Multan Sultans had some doubts at the beginning of the game that they would not play very well but in the late stages they played very well and managed to score high runs in the late stages. But Lahore Qalandar's start and finish were not good either
Lahore Qalandars totally lost it , they had shown brilliant performances in all matches and yesterday they got all out on 76 . Multan Sultans were pretty good and confident in their game and there ballers totally nailed it .
Surprised with the way in which Lahore Qalandars meekly surrendered yesterday. They failed in almost every department. Shaheen Shah Afridi conceded almost 12 runs per over while bowling, and Zaman Khan and Haris Rauf were equally expensive. Economical spells from David Wiese and Rashid Khan were not enough to contain Multan Sultans batsmen. Mohammad Rizwan got another good score yesterday, and he just confirmed his position as the top run-scorer in this season of the PSL (516 runs, at an average of 57.33).
While batting, Sheldon Cottrell ripped though Qalandars top order, and the top 3 batsmen (Mirza Baig, Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique) made a combined total of 14 runs. Their morale will be very low, and now they need to face the winner from the eliminator match between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United (tomorrow at Lahore).

But, surely we have to praise Sheldon Cottrell and Mohammad Rizwan both keep their cool and give their team a good win and final spot, hopefully now in second qualifier we will have better performance from Fakhar Zaman and bowlers for the Lahore Qalandars.

Big question is Azam Khan is playing or not because he's a gem for Islamabad United.
Peshawar Zalmi have an edge today as they are stronger than Islamabad United.

I have seen Multan Sultans earlier games they play with confidence in every match and their team management is very good and they have good bowlers and batsmen in their team. Today there is a match of pakistan league islamabad united vs peshawar zalmi between them both teams are almost equal and in terms of points these two teams are only 2 points apart so it is very difficult to predict between them. But Islamabad United seems a bit more likely to win. What do you think and what are your predictions?
The last day game was totally one-sided, and nobody was expecting such performance from Lahore Qalandars, who were at number one position on the points table. Still Lahore Qalandars have a chance to play the final as they will compete with today's game winner. But to play final Lahore Qalandars need to upgrade there performance else the defending champions will be eliminated.

After winning the toss against Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultans captain Md Rizwan opted to bat first. Batting first, after 9 overs, 59 runs for 1 wicket have been accumulated on the scoreboard. I think today's match will also be a high scoring match. However, Lahore Qalandars record against Multan Sultans is very good. Because in this event they played two more matches against Multan Sultan where Multan Sultan was defeated by them. But Multan Sultan may be today leaving all the statistics of the past and entering the field to start anew. I think the decision to win the toss and bat was excellent. Because playing a new pitch with a new ball gives a different advantage for batting, maybe Md. Rezwan decided to bat first to use that advantage.
Lahore Qalandars have done a good job so far as Multan Sultan have scored 81 runs in 12 overs. Rizwan s still there on crease and he has scored 32 runs on 27 balls which is not a big issue for Lahore Qalandars. With this run rate Multan Sultans will be able to give a target of 150-160 and this target wont be very difficult to chase. Lahore Qalandars must get rid of Kieron Pollard quickly otherwise things may get out of control.
Lahore Qalandar has excellent bowling skills and they prove it today. I am surprised that Multan sultan lost only 3 wickets till now but still they made so low scores. All of their bowlers are superb including Shaheen Shah Afridi, Rashid Khan and Haris Rauf.
Incipite of the low score by the Multan Sultan, I would still not call that Lahore would win this match. I would see how Lahore Qalandar bat for the first 5 overs of their innings and then predict who is going to win this match.
Multan Sultans were pretty good and confident in their game and there ballers totally nailed it .
The winner of today's first eliminator match between Islamabad United vs Pashawar Zalmi will face Lahore Qalandars for the final. Hope Lahore Qalandars can utilize this opportunity.
Coming to today's match who do you think is the favorite team to win this Eliminator 1 ?
If we check the points table, then we shall see that Islamabad is a slightly better team as they have got 12 points while Peshawar Zalmi got 10 points and finished on the fourth position. Although this does not matter as the team who play well in the match always win the match but this analysis is for the sake of comparison only. Also in the last match played between two teams Peshawar Zalmi knockout Islamabad United
in a close match. So its hard to bet on today's match.
While Pakistan Super League PSL has seen a lot of runs in every match, it was never expected that Lahore Qalandars were bowled out for 76 runs in an important match like the qualifiers. Multan Sultans scored 160 runs in the first innings while Lahore Qalandars' target was 161 runs off 120 balls. Lahore Qalandars, who have performed consistently in the previous matches, had a bit more faith in them to win this match. But they lost humiliatingly against Multan Sultan by 84 runs. I couldn't match the calculation that Lahore Qalandars would produce such a result. But there is another chance for them. The winner of today's first eliminator match between Islamabad United vs Pashawar Zalmi will face Lahore Qalandars for the final. Hope Lahore Qalandars can utilize this opportunity.
