Lahore Qalandars made a massive 182 runs in the Eliminator 2 against Multan Sultans. David Weise scored 48 runs in just 21 balls and that innings was very entertaining.
I hope Lahore Qalandars would win this match and reach the finals.

After a long time i have seen Muhammad Hafeez in this good form. Lahore Qalandars were 3 wickets down at 25 but still he held his nerve's and later played aggressively and took his team towards the win. Yesterday both matches were thrilling and full of entertainment and suspense.
Hafeez was in poor form during the recently concluded National T20 Cup. His performance against Zimbabwe during the T20 series was also disappointing. He is already 40 years old, and there were suggestions that he should retire from active cricket. But he proved his critics wrong. Perhaps it may be better for him to concentrate on his role with the Lahore Qalandars, similar to what MS Dhoni is doing with CSK now.
CSK will not be happy with their skipper performance this year and i am 80% confident that we do not see Ms Dhoni as a CSK captain for the next season. This season was the worst IPL season for the CSK.
I did not watch the Hafeez innings yesterday but he needs to perform consistent if he wants to remain in the international team.
Dhoni by next year may or may not even continue playing IPL. Somehow, I felt this was the last IPL which he played. Also, CSK missed Raina badly because Raina has always performed well in PL for CSK. He was not able to deliver in international cricket in last some matches which he played but IPL was like his best days during those times in cricket. That also made the middle order stringer for CSK which was lacking this time.
The IPL should let go of annual actions as it is impossible to get behind a team if you are following the team because of your favorite player in the team and if they keep on changing teams it is hard to follow a particular team, they already have the ability to transfer players and if i remember correctly every team has a limitation on the amount of money they can spent and these restrictions should be removed as well, let the open market decide the worth of a player .
I completely agree with your suggestions. This idea of salary cap is just crazy. They should remove it, so that the best players will receive the best contracts and salary package. Also, I believe that they should increase the number of players who can be retained to 6 from the current limit of 4. Anyway, if they remove the salary cap, then these retentions won't be needed. It is really irritating to adjust with the changing team composition after every season. There needs to be some stability in the squad composition.
CSK will not be happy with their skipper performance this year and i am 80% confident that we do not see Ms Dhoni as a CSK captain for the next season. This season was the worst IPL season for the CSK.
I still cannot blame Ms Dhoni completely for their failure, some of their main players withdrew from the tournament and when that happens it is difficult for any captain to maintain the balance and they never had any great players that could take their place and fill the middle order spot of Raina and they came back strongly in the later part of the tournament and won the matches with conviction spoiling other teams qualifying dreams. I am sure they will come back stronger in the next season. You never know. The next IPL auction is scheduled in a few months. The franchises can retain only a maximum of 4 players. This can have a huge negative impact on franchises such as Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. They will be forced to release some of their best players. Selecting 4 out of 7-8 key players can be cumbersome for the team management as well.

DC will perform way better in the future, their performance was way better than other teams in this season. A few changes within the team batting line up and I do not think it will be possible for MI to win against them in the next IPL season.
The primary problem with them is that they are a young team which lack experience and that is the main reason for their inconsistent performance. Given time and more exposure these guys can perform in the future.

No one would argue against Delhi Capitals having their best season in the history of IPL but the second eliminator was a good match but then when it came to the final they lost it completely the moment they won the toss in the final and electing to bat and then went on to loose early wickets and MI dominating the match from the start and then when MI was batting the DC bowlers failed to picked early wickets and where does the competitive aspect comes into play 
.
.This is one of the reasons why the franchises are sticking with experienced players, rather than going for the younger ones. Delhi Capitals do have a large number of young players, such as Iyer and Pant. But none of them have shown an ability to perform under pressure. And this goes for the younger players in the other franchises as well. In many cases, DC went on to lose matches, which they could have won.

What an over bowled by Saqib Mahmood, he just picked up two important wickets of Fakhar & Tamim.Now Lahore Qalandars need 144 runs to win this game in 16 over.Peshawar Zalmi made 170 in first innings.
It's a great match
. You know, 170 runs was not an easy target. But Lahore Qalandars reached their target within just 19 overs. I have seen how aggressively Mohammad Hafeez has played. His stormy batting helped Lahore Qalandars to win the match easily.After a long time i have seen Muhammad Hafeez in this good form.

I agree with you, but at the same time the younger players such as Shreyas Iyer, Prithwi Shaw and Rishabh Pant won fewer matches for DC when compared to Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. I am not going to deny the fact that Shaw, Iyer and Pant scored a lot of runs, at a good pace. But at the same time, what I feel is that they don't have the ability to do the same when the come under pressure.
The reason Delhi Capitals struggled in the later part of the series is because Prithvi Shaw went out of form and they struggled to put a good opening partnership along with Shikhar Dhawan and find a replacement and Shreyas Iyer failed to score at a good strike rate even though he scored a lot of runs. I was impressed by Anrich Nortje and his pace and they missed a player that could increase the strike rate in the later part of the innings considerably like Pollard or Hardik Pandya and they did not use Marcus Stoinis or Shimron Hetmyer to fill that space.

What a match in PSL Multan vs Karachi . Match is tied and we are going to see super over, Looks like we are in super over season fitst in the IPL where we saw a lot of super over and now in PSL starts with Super over.
A good target of 13 runs by Kings against poor bowling of Sohail Tanvir now time for Sultans to give smooth reply or have their seat for second qualifier because I am feeling Kings done good for reaching in final.Tanvir the hero of this match became zero in the super over. Karachi believed on Amir, and in return he bowled brilliantly in the super over.

Although i do not have much interest in the match and i am following it on cricinfo but i wish that Karachi kings could win this T20 PSL 2020 for the late Dean Jones
If he was there, you could feel how much he would have been happy seeing his team reaching the final for the first time.

Nonetheless, With so many young players getting to the finals was a big achievement for the Delhi Capitals, as they made it for the first time. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians had the experience of playing the big finals. So, they are the worthy winners.

PSL will resume from tomorrow. Multan Sultans will take on Karachi Kings in the first qualifier in Karachi. Multan sultan will miss James Vince as he is covid-19 positive. Although there is no hype for the PSL resuming but i am sure after the first match, the interest will built up.
Have to figure out how to watch the matches, if it is interesting it would attain the hype. PSL always attract the attraction of the cricket lovers as after IPL, this is the most demanded T20 tournament. All the tournament was played early in this year before the pandemic and only the plays were left when authorities have to pause the tournament because of increasing pandemic situation world wide.
It will be on air on all the sports channel in Paksitan. Also you can watch it live on Cricketgateway.com. Also it will be live broadcast at the Eurosport streaming platforms like Airtel Xtreme and Jio tv.
