Match going very interesting . Islamabad united give the target of score 144 .  Now Multan sultana are playing the batting and they made100 run in 15 overs with the lose of 3 wickets . Multan sultana need 44 runs in 36 ball . The match  is going  very interesting moment. It can be more interesting and suspenseful if the Islamabad team can improve their bowling performance and take the wicket of Multan Sultan.But I don't think it will happen as Multan Sultan's hendrick  is batting again with his spirited performance and is very close to completing his half-century.

Multan Sultan's Reeza Hendricks is unbeaten so far so Multan Sultan's chances of victory are very high especially as at the time of my posting Multan Sultan needs to score 46 runs from 32 balls to score though this is not a tough target to score in T20I. However, Multan Sultan's batting line-up did not show much aggressive batting pattern as Islamabad United gave Multan Sultan a target of only 145 runs, so perhaps Multan Sultan did not have to play an aggressive innings for this target.

In today's 40th match of Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders team, Comilla Victorians team won by 6 wickets. Rangpur Riders came to the field to bat first and the run target was set and the Comilla Victorians team won the match very easily. In today's match, the Comilla Victorians team performed well in batting.  For which Comilla Victorians team won this match.

Islamabad United did not perform well in the early stages due to which the run rate was not very high. Islamabad United were batting in desperation due to the fall of wickets but Jordan Cox and Agha Salman managed to score 144 runs with all the wickets lost due to excellent performances from the two batsmen. However, the bowling performance of the Multan Sultan team in today's match was excellent, especially Mohammad Ali and Abbas Afridi, who managed to take 6 wickets with 3 each. At the moment Multan Sultan team is batting and they have lost one wicket, although Dawid Milan is out he is out for 0 runs not even a single run his batting performance was poor. But at the moment Mohammad Rizwan is batting brilliantly, if he can survive till the last minute then he will surely leave the field with victory. If the target of 145 runs is not too much, Multan Sultans are likely to achieve it in today's match and now they need 107 runs from 88 balls to win.

Islamabad United were all out for 144 runs in today's match but team score 144 is not a tough target for Multan Sultan but Multan Sultan will easily surpass this target. But a crucial wicket could have fallen for Multan Sultans if Imad Wasim had taken the catch of Mohammad Rizwan. At the very beginning of the innings, Mohammad Rizwan took a catch from Naseem Shah in a defensive mood on the first ball but Imad Wasim dropped the catch. But Naseem Shah's fourth ball of the first over bowled out David Mallan straight away. Multan Sultan is under a lot of pressure right from the start.

Islamabad United lost two early wickets but then Agha Salman and Jordan Cox had a 68 runs partnership that brought them back in the game. But its Osama Mir who got two big wickets of Jordan Coz and Azam Khan that once again brought Multan Sultan on top. After 18 overs Islamabad United score is 135 and they are likely to give target some where around 150 or 160, which wont be difficult to chase for side like Multan Sultans.  

I also think James Neesham played really well by scoring 69 runs in 42 balls. His batting helped Rangpur set a good target. Even though other players didn't do well Neesham stayed at the crease and played responsibly. He has been a strong batsman for the team in this year BPL matches.
Meanwhile the Comilla team is doing well with Liton and Ankon scoring 99 runs together without losing any wickets in 13 overs. They are in a good position to reach the target. If they keep playing well and stay focused, scoring 52 runs in 42 balls should be achievable for them. And now they made 103 runs in 14 overs and need 48 runs on 34 balls and I think Comila Victorians will win today match.

James Neesham scored the most runs for Rangpur Riders today. Although he scored maximum runs in today's match, his team Rangpur Riders are going to lose to Comilla Victorians. Rangpur Riders are number one in the points table before the start of this game I thought maybe the game between these two teams will be full of excitement but Rangpur Riders didn't let that happen. If Rangpur Riders had scored 180 plus runs today this match would have been very impressive but they scored only 150 runs. As time goes on Comilla Victorians are slowly reaching the edge of victory. Comilla Victorians need 48 runs.

PSL 5th Match

Today 5th match of PSL already started where two best teams are competing with each other. Multan Sultan won the toss and elected to ball first which work for them. I was expecting that Islamabad will give target above 180 because ISL have a very good batting combination. Alex Hales and Munro both failed to bring runs on the board and goes to pavilion earlier which put pressure on rest of the players. Salman Agha and Jordan make good partnerships and Now only 119 runs scored in 16th overs and lost five wickets. I think target will be no more than 160 and Multan will easily chase the target.

With the help of James Neesham's unbeaten innings of 69 runs from 42 balls, the Rangpur team has been able to provide a target of 151 runs descent. Neesham batted very responsibly despite top order and middle order players failing. And he stayed at the crease till the end. We have seen Neesham batting brilliantly in this year's BPL when the team needed it.

After losing two batsmen for 36 runs, the Comilla team has not lost any wicket till now. At the end of 13 overs, Comilla collected 99 runs. Scoring 52 runs off 42 balls is not a difficult task. Liton with 42 runs and Ankon with 38 runs at the crease. Comilla will easily win today's match if batsman can survive at the crease.

At yesterday's match, you saw the batting that was done by Khuwaja Nafey. Now, another power hitter comes on the Pakistan team. Saim Ayub, Muhammad Haris, Khuwaja Nafey, Fakhar Zaman, Asif Ali, Babar Azam, Muhammad Rizwan, Abdullah Shaifque, Shaibzada Farhan, Jahandad Khan and now in bowling they have Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Shah Nawaz Dhani, Muhammad Hussnain, Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Ubaid Shah, Husain Shah and in all-rounders Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Jahandad Khan, Abrar Ahmed, and Muhammad Nawaz.

These are all the players who come from the 'Pakistan Super League'. The power of PSL. These are all the players who are in form at this time. But Naseem Shah has come from injury but soon he will recover it.

Islamabad United  Vs Multan Sultans

At this time, the current match was stopped due to a fault in the lights, and it's a common problem on cricket grounds as in the 2016 World Cup final between England and West Indies at the Indian cricket stadium, and in the 2023 World Cup, when Afghanistan vs India match was playing at Indian Bangalore stadium which had a name of Eden Garden.

In the next few minutes, the match started again, and at this time, Agha Salman was on strike, it was good for Islamabad United because in the last match of Islamabad United against Lahore Qalandars he was hitting sixes again and again. Many Islamabad team players were helped by Agha Salman at the last match.

Today's match against Comilla Victorians, Rangpur Riders did not bat so well. Rangpur Riders batting with the power from the beginning, we did not see a good batting from the batsmen of Rangpur Riders in today's match. Due to which Rangpur Riders became all out for 150 runs. Comilla Victorians bowlers bowled aggressively from the start. Comilla Victorians bowlers managed to bowl a strong team like Rangpur Riders all out in just 150 runs. Comilla Victorians are batting at a target of 151 runs given by Rangpur Riders. If Comilla Victorians batsmen can bat responsibly then they will easily win the match against Rangpur.

Babar Azam needs just 6 runs more to make the fastest T20 10,000 runs. This is in T20/leagues record. In which Chris Gayle was on top but now there is a player who is the half age of Chris Gayle that is Babar Azam.
Tomorrow is the match of Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings where Baber will play.. Babar Azam is going to up than Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle and if you say that Virat Kohli is from BCCI and BCCI didn't allow their players to go play outside countries leagues. So for this Virat Kohli played more innings than Babar Azam, and for proof i also give a photo here below this post. Just 6 runs are needed to become the World's fastest 10,000 runs to Babar Azam.




Quetta Gladiators won the match for the first time against Lahore Qalandars in PSL's 9 years history. Old Quetta Gladiators is back while old Lahore Qalandars is also back who always lose and Quetta always wins.  

At the end of the first innings. Lahore Qalandars' condition was too bad but when a player was out the great finisher Jahandad Khan came and he made 45 runs in 17 balls,  think he could make more than the runs that Khawaja Nafay, but the innings were finished. In yesterday's match, we found Jahandad Khan and Khawaja Nafey from two different teams. Once upon a time, Pakistan's team found bowlers and only bowlers but now Pakistan has bowlers, spinners, and also batsmen and there is nothing in cricket that Pakistan doesn't have but still their International record is not good as per the expectations.

We haven't seen better batting from James Neesham in the last few matches. But today James Neesham played a great innings in the difficult time of the team. Rangpur Riders will lose all the wickets before collecting 20 runs. But at the end of 19 overs, Rangpur's collection was 141/9.

The batsmen of Rangpur's squad could not bat well today. Shakib collected 24 runs off 19 balls. Apart from this, no other batsman of the team can play big innings. Rangpur collected 7 wickets in 13.1 overs only to collect 93 runs. But with James Neesham's excellent batting, Rangpur is moving towards a big collection. He scored 64 runs off 39 balls unbeaten. Given 150+ targets it would be a very good collection to fight today.

After a long time today we may see the defeat of Rangpur. Rangpur's batsmen are not able to bat well today.

Comilla captain Liton Das won the  toss and decided to  field. At the end of 15 overs, Rangpur Riders managed to collect only 102 runs. However, Rangpur team has already lost 7 wickets. Rangpur lost the seventh wicket for 93 runs. Mehedi and Nurul are not in their usual form. I am going to forget the last time I saw good batting from these two batsmen. These two batsmen are consistently batting badly.

Almost every bowler in the Comilla squad  is performing well. Moreover, Comilla's batting order is strong. Liton, Towhid Hridoy, Moeen Ali, Russell and Sunil Narine are all good players. It is not possible to defeat the Comilla team on a small target.

If the match is defeated, the match is not an important match for  Rangpur. The team is at the top of the table with 18 points from 11 matches. Even if they lose today's match, Rangpur Riders will remain at the top of the points table.

Yesterday was the match of Quetta Gladiators vs Lahore Qalandars, and now again Prime Quetta is back with a new captain and new pacers like Muhammad Amir, and Muhammad Wasim Jr. 
Khawaja Nafay played an outstanding innings of 60 in only 31 runs and he had a major contribution for the Quetta Gladiators win.

It seems that Khawaja Nafa is the best power hitter of the Pakistan cricket team, I hope that after this PSL he will selected to play the national series, and if he performs well on it so he can qualify for the World Cup squad. That was the debut match of his PSL and in his debut match, he became a man of the match so what he will do with the International team with more pressure? He crossed 50 on his first match of PSL. I hope that in the upcoming matches, his performances are the same as today or more improvement on his bat.

Today's match in this year's BPL is going to be very exciting as the two teams facing each other today are side by side in the points table. In this year's BPL season, Rangpur Riders are at the top of the points table, Comilla Victorians are at number two. Rangpur Riders have already got five batsmen out, none of these five batsmen could reach 30 runs. James Neesham is now the only hope of Rangpur Riders team. At the rate Rangpur Riders are now scoring runs per over, their number of runs can be 140 plus.

Comilla Victorians vs Rangpur Riders is a great match between two teams right now. And today's match Rangpur riders are batting in the first innings but their batting performance today is very disappointing they have lost 5 wickets but relatively no run increase. In the position they are currently in, they should have added more runs but Rangpur Riders are under pressure due to back-to-back wickets. In today's match, Comilla Victorians are bowling well due to which they are able to put pressure on the opposition team easily. Rangpur Riders performance today looks like they can't win today they have lost 5 wickets and scored 68 runs in 9 overs.

Chattogram Challengers won today due to Tanzid Hasan's brilliant performance. Chattogram Challengers easily qualified by winning today's match. After that, one more team will qualify for the top four, that is, a team between Khulna and Barisal will qualify. Khulna and Barisal have one match each left. Barisal is leading by winning one match more than Khulna. Barisal will play their last match against Comilla in what will be a very competitive game with very little chance of Barisal winning. On the other hand Khulna will play against Sylhet which Sylhet can win. But also Barisal is ahead in Net Run Rate I think Barisal can qualify I don't see the possibility of Khulna qualifying.

Afghanistan were doing good in ODI and T20I which is surely good but after ODI World Cup things gone into wrong way which is now hurting them specially their players love to play franchise instead of playing for the national team which is also problem for them recently we have few bad news from their board and players conflict which is surely going to have bad impact on their future as well because if they are not able to settle things with mutual understanding surely this could be dilemma for their cricket.

In this last series, there were too many expectations from them but sadly all gone down, and they are facing worst defeats, hopefully they will learn from these and try to improve things in coming matches otherwise they could be also down like we have Zimbabwe and Bangladesh after having test debut.
