Today is the final of PSL season 9. Multan Sultan and Islamabad United will be competing for the trophy. Multan Sultan is the favourite to win the PSL, they have been outperforming every other team in this PSL. Islamabad United's top order will be crucial, as they are not performing up to their potential. In the Eliminator 2 of the PSL, it was their middle order, who saved them. Hopefully, Colin Munro will be fit for the big day.
Today Afghanistan and Ireland will face each other in the series decider. AFG barely won the last match thanks to Rashid's heroics. Ireland looked like a different team in the T20I series and the victory will not be easy for AFG in this match.
I guess both these matches will start at the same time, so which one will you prefer to watch
Today is the main T20 match at Sharjah and most of the time Afghanistan has matches in the stadium of Sharjah and also today is the match of Ireland vs Afghanistan. I think Afghanistan has a better team than Ireland but at the same time, I also remembered the first match of this T20I series so after seeing this I cannot say anything confident about this.
But still, I think that today's Afghanistan team will win, as Naveen Ul Haq, Muhammad Nabi, and in batting Gurbaz are the best options and without adding them to this list is not fair. These are the players who make them a good team that can beat Ireland. Now, you wonder why I did not add Rashid Khan because I gave the list of good players, not the best of the bests
.
It is a decent target given by Multan Sultan. Islamabad has started well. Munro is smashing the ball from the start. The start in the first over for them has been well. I think if they can keep wickets in hand it is not going to be a big problem for them to win. Remember that Multan Sultans were not able to keep wickets in hand towards the end. That's why I think they didn't get as many as they should have. And unless it was for the last cricket partnership, they would have not been able to give the decent total that we are talking about. Also, Islamabad had given away 10 extras.
Islamabad has already scored 19 from the first eight balls. It looks like they are trying to take advantage of the power play.
