107 runs partnership between Babar Azam and Saim Ayub has done the job for Peshawar Zalmi.
Yeh absolutely the partnership between baber Azam and saim ayub create a stage for middle order to do some power hitting and due to that reason they score high target against Qalanders. Lahore were out of color from start because they lose 4 wickets in powerplay but Shaheen and talat did great job but unfortunately didn't finish the game. Credit goes to wahab and Arshad for Thier magnificent bowling who destroy top order of Lahore before any damage. I think all franchise should learn from Peshawer that how to tackle the Lahore bowler as well as batter. Most of people were underestimating Peshawer but now they show us who they are.

After losing 5 consecutive games Quetta Gladiators finally got a victory today. Special thanks to Martin Guptill for 86 runs innings on just 57 balls otherwise there is no chance of Gladiator victory today. Quetta both victories are against Karachi Kings, they failed to get victory against anyother team so far in this season. Sarfraz also has a good day with as he scored 29 runs on 25 balls. Its tough but not impossible for Quetta to reach semi final stage.
long determination and hardwork pay off and they finally become victorious after too much defeats. No doubt game were out of hands for Quetta but with the help of Martin Guptill and captain sarfaraz some how they manage to chase this target. Quetta win this match but it can't help them to move to the next round because it's too late they are almost out of the tournament but they can qualify if Peshawer Zalmi lose his all remaining matches which look impossible but anyway anything can happen lets focus on next upcoming match.
Sarfraz rightly scarifies his wicket for Guptill because if Guptill was run out instead of Sarfraz then Quetta wont be able to chase down the target in last over. Quetta are still at number 6 position after there second win in this tournament. Now there is competition between Quetta and Karachi for number 5th position. Karachi have a horrible last season and they will try there best to finish 5th this year.
Sacrifices like this happen at times in cricket, especially when Sarfraz Ahmed was run out just as Martin Guptill and Sarfaraz Ahmed were batting as Quetta Gladiators picked up their second win against Karachi Kings in Match 8 yesterday. Had that run out been Guptill's then it would not have been possible for Quetta Gladiators to pull off their second win tomorrow. However, Martin Guptill did not get many strikes towards the end but his impeccable innings of 86 runs was indeed enough to clinch the victory. But Quetta Gladiators have two more matches in front of them and if they can win both the matches then it is only a matter of time if they have a chance to cross the knock out stage. But securing their knockout stage proved to be a tough task. 
Well, Martin Guptill played a great inning yesterday and was a major player in yesterday's match. He scores 86 runs in only 56 balls and this was due to this innings Quetta Gladiators were able to win this match. However, i am afraid that even is great performance could not take Quetta to the next round.
If we see the Quetta innings, none other batsmen other than Guptill socred any runs. The 2nd highest runs were from the captain Sarfaraz Ahmed who scored 29 runs before he was run out.

Martin Guptill has done a great job for the team. Mays was unbeaten till the end and could not score a century for a few runs. The win brought the two teams level on points with Karachi hugely profitable for the Quetta team.

One thing that I have noticed so far in the PSL is that at least in the batting department, overseas players are dominating the show. Yesterday during the match between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators, the top scorers for both the teams were Adam Rossington and Martin Guptill respectively. Out of the 10 top run scorers this season, 5 are overseas players. And Colin Munro and Sikandar Raza are the two players with the best strike rate. Bowling is more dominated by the locals, with Ihsanullah, Abbas Afridi and Shaheen Shah Afridi being the top wicket takers.
Martin Guptill single handedly won the match for Quetta Gladiators with 86(56)* in psl yesterday match. Karachi kings batted first and managed to accumulate 164 runs for 6 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. English batsman Adam Rossington played an extraordinary innings of 69 (45) runs. When Quetta Gladiators came down to bat with a target of 165 runs, no one except Martin Guptill could shine like that. Basically, Martin Guptill's responsible batting led Quetta Gladiators to win against Karachi kings.

Quetta has been the disappointment of this season. Before yesterday's win against Karachi Kings, they had just 2 points from 7 matches (i.e one win). Karachi Kings are in a similar situation. So far they had just two wins from nine matches. The good news for Quetta is that Martin Guptill is finally back in form. Before the match against Kings, he had made a total of 166 runs in 6 matches. Take away the 117 he made against Kings, and his batting average would be in single digits. Now he has a decent average (252 runs from 7 matches).

Quetta were too unlucky because most of Thier forner player didn't perform in order to safe them from defeat. They are well balanced team but some how they make some mistakes which become cause of Thier defeat. Tonight they play well they almost crushed Islamabad in last over but unfortunately didn't manage to win the match. Now today it's deciding match for Quetta against karachi because if they lose it, they will be 100% out of the tournament because they just win only one game in his entire matches.
Yeah, there were more the balanced but unlucky in this season and not able to perform as they have quality players which is surely sad news for them and their fans many times in this season we have good performance from them but sadly as unit they were completely failed to take advantage of this situation and lost matches which was surely due to bad luck even their few players were good, and their performance was also impressive now hopefully they will do some positive changes in next season and try to have better performance because Sarfraz Ahmad is good captain and have still time to perform better in PSL9.Their win in last match against Karachi is surely good news even they are already eliminated from the play-offs for this season, but their attitude is positive and with this hopefully they will be better.

For Karachi kings it is impossible to reach the knockout stage after today's final. Karachi is a big city of Pakistan and the way they performed in this tournament was disappointing.
Karachi Kings Vs Lahore QalandarsThere is no other way for Karachi Kings, they are eliminated from the Knock out phase. They have only one more match left, with Lahore Qalandars winning the match would be of no use. The other team Quetta Gladiators is almost on the way out of the knockout stage, they have two more matches left, if they win these two matches they will have 8 points. If Peshawar Zalmi doesn't win a match next time then they have chances but such statistics are unrealistic.
After losing 5 consecutive games Quetta Gladiators finally got a victory today. Special thanks to Martin Guptill for 86 runs innings on just 57 balls otherwise there is no chance of Gladiator victory today. Quetta both victories are against Karachi Kings, they failed to get victory against anyother team so far in this season. Sarfraz also has a good day with as he scored 29 runs on 25 balls.

At the end of the match, I saw the expression of Waseem Akram as he was looking too sad. Muhammad Aamir was showing his frustration on the overall fielding performance of the team. Karachi king team needs to revamp themselves for the next year's PSL.
