Pakistan Super League 2021

Shahnawaz Dahani, the star player of PSL 2021, Dedicates Victory To Late Parents

by
shahnawaz dahani

After bagging a historic victory against Zalmis, Multan Sultans’ fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani dedicated his PSL 2021 achievements to his late father and mother after he ended the tournament on a high note.

Shahnawaz Dahani managed to take 20 wickets during the PSL 2021, becoming the third bowler to take as many wickets in the PSL 2021 final.

For his outstanding achievements, he was deemed Best Emerging Player and Best Bowler of the tournament.

Overjoyed at the achievements, the young cricketer took to Twitter to express his happiness, dedicating them to his parents.

“Alhamdulillah!. To be the best-emerging player and best bowler of the tournament in @thePSLt20 is like dream come [true],” he tweeted.

The fast bowler dedicated his achievements to his mother “who always prays for me and to my late father ( if he was here would be proud of me)”.

Moreover, Dahani has come a long way, from playing barefoot with a tape-ball on an uneven field to achieving laurels at the PSL. He didn’t have any facilities in his village, not even a proper connection to watch live cricket.

He would borrow shoes from his friends and do “jugaars” to watch live streams of cricket matches around the world.

“I was passionate about bowling fast and was known in my village for my fast bowling, that’s why many there had named me 3G bowler – to relate the speed with the speed of the internet,” Dahani had said then.

Note that on Thursday night, Team Multan Sultans listed themselves in the list of winners as they vanquished Zalmis by 47 runs in the final of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 last night in Abu Dhabi.

Multan Sultans won the PSL 2021 final for the first time with a 47-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan.

Multan Sultans Win PSL Final As They Vanquish Peshawar Zalmi By 47 Runs

by
Multan Sultans Win PSL 6

Team Multan Sultans listed themselves in the list of winners as they vanquished Zalmis by 47 runs in the final of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 last night in Abu Dhabi.

Multan Sultans won the PSL 2021 final for the first time with a 47-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan.

Sohaib Maqsood celebrated his national call-up with his fifth half-century of the tournament, while Rilee Rossouw saved his very best for the grand finale as Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 47 runs to win the tournament.

Sohaib, was given a lifeline when he was dropped by Hazratullah Zazai on six in the 11th over, slapped six fours and three sixes in an electrifying 35-ball 65 not out, while Rossouw clobbered five fours and three sixes in a swashbuckling 21-ball 50 – his first half-century of the tournament – to steer Multan Sultans to a record 206 for four in 20 overs.

Peshawar, needing over 10 runs an over from the onset, made a spirited reply with Kamran Akmal racing to 36 before Hazratullah hit his first scoring shot – a six off Blessing Muzarabani – before being dismissed a ball later.

Five balls later, Kamran (36, 28b, 5×4, 1×6) was cleaned up by Imran Khan Snr as Peshawar Zalmi slipped from 36 for no loss in five overs to 42 to two and then 63 for three at the halfway stage to eventually finish at 159 for nine in 20 overs.

Shoaib Malik (48, 28b, 3×4, 3×6) and Rovman Powell (23, 14b, 2×4, 1×6) put up a brief middle-order resistance and fightback in a 66-run fourth-wicket partnership, but it was Multan Sultans’ evening as Imran Tahir finished with figures of three for 33, Blessing Muzarabani claimed with two for 26 and Imran Khan Snr bagged two for 27.

Not surprisingly, Multan Sultans swept the individuals’ awards of the HBL PSL 2021, which was a recognition and reward for their outstanding comeback in the tournament that had seen them reeling in fifth place on the points table when the competition resumed in the Sheikhdom on 9 June.

Sohaib clinched the player of the final and player of the tournament trophies along with the best batsman of the tournament award, Shahnawaz Dahani was adjudged the best bowler and best-emerging cricketer of the tournament, and Mohammad Rizwan was named as the best wicketkeeper of the tournament by an independent panel, comprising David Gower, Nadeem Khan, Pommie Mbangwa, Ramiz Raja and Sana Mir.

Iftikhar Ahmed of Islamabad United disrupted Sultans’ dominance on the individual awards by winning the best fielder of the tournament trophy.

The pleasant evening in Abu Dhabi was made a memorable one by Sohaib and Rossouw, who played breathtaking knocks in their 98-run third-wicket partnership off 44 balls to set a record total in the Pakistan Super League final of 206 for four in 20 overs.

While Sohaib played delightful and elegant strokes all around the park, Rossouw matched his partner by displaying his big match temperament in a knock that comprised sizzling and stunning shots.

The two batsmen virtually destroyed a strong and formidable Peshawar Zalmi as the bowlers tried valiantly to hide for cover, while the fielders fumbled to concede extra runs. This is evident from the fact that Sultans were 42-0 after the powerplay overs, 73-1 at the halfway stage, 139-2 after 15 overs before collecting 67 runs off the last five overs.

Sohaib and Rossouw, however, were provided with the luxury and freedom to play with ease and without any pressure by openers Shan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan, who gave Sultans a 68-run start in their first-ever final appearance.

Shan was first to depart after his 29-ball 37 with six fours, while Rizwan followed him 15 runs later in a run-a-ball 30 with two fours and a six.

For Peshawar Zalmi, Sameen Gul, a late replacement for Umaid Asif, justified his selection by returning figures of 4-0-26-2, while Mohammad Imran claimed two wickets for 47 runs.

PSL 2021: Moin Khan Regrets Players’ Poor Performance After Gladiators’ Defeat

by
PSL 2021: Gladiators' Moin Khan

After the defeat by Multan Sultans in Wednesday night’s match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021, Quetta Gladiators are now out of the playoffs race.

Quetta Gladiators coach Moin Khan has regretted the inconsistency in the availability of foreign players throughout the season after his side was eliminated from the race to reach the play-offs of PSL 2021.

Moin Khan agreed that his side played poor cricket throughout the season and insisted that he won’t give any excuses for it.

“I won’t give any excuses, we played poorly,” Khan said.

“We couldn’t get our combination right. We kept losing our important players ahead of every game which broke our momentum. We earlier had Gayle, then he left. We had Qais, who won a game for us but then the league was suspended and then in this leg, we lost Andre Russell and Faf du Plessis in back to back matches. This dented us,” he said.

It becomes very difficult when players don’t perform with consistency,” said Gladiators’ coach.

He further highlighted that players lacked game awareness which cost his side important matches.

“This is top-level cricket and players should know what is expected from them. Game awareness was missing in some youngsters and they repeated the same mistakes. Players must learn to perform according to the situation, it is important to learn from their mistakes if they want to do well in their career. It is important to have game awareness,” he said.

He, however, hoped to end the tournament on a positive note.

PSL 2021: Gladiators’ Andre Russell leaves tournament halfway, returns home

by
PSL 2021 Andre Russell leaves tournament

After Islamabad United’s Hasan Ali left the tournament, Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 franchise Quetta Gladiators also suffer a major blowout after Andre Russell leaves the tournament halfway.

According to sources, Andre Russell has returned to his country after he was hit by a bouncer by Muhammad Musa and was stretchered off to a hospital following the match.

The Emirati cricketer Zahoor Khan, however, will replace Russell to be the part of Gladiators’ squad, sources added.

The Windies batsman couldn’t take part in last night’s match against Peshawar Zalmi, who defeated the Gladiators by 61 runs in the 19th match of PSL 2021.

Also, Zalmi secured the third spot in the points table after beating Quetta Gladiators on Saturday night.

Note that Mohammad Musa churned out a short delivery, catching Russell off-guard as the latter was in no position to negotiate the bouncer. The ball climbed steeply and hit the batter on the grill.

Naseem Shah Joined In As Andre Russell’s Concussion Substitute

After the 34-year-old player was carried off in a stretcher for further treatment of his concussion, right-arm fast bowler Naseem Shah was roped in as a like-for-like substitute for Russell.

United skipper Shadab Khan didn’t seem happy with Shah replacing Russell and could be seen taking to umpire Aleem Dar before the second innings.

Earlier, resuming after a heavy one-year-long ban for violating WADA’s anti-doping whereabouts clause, Russell appeared to take part in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021. After representing Islamabad United in the first few matches, he was forced to pull out from the tournament due to a hamstring injury.

“I think this one year I lost has made me a different person. I have learned how to be humble. I need to make sure that you stay on top of what you are doing as a professional and yet be humble. I just want to ensure that these things don’t happen again,” said Andre Russell.

“I think I am confident. My confidence level is very high. Once you have confidence in whatever sport you play that’s all you need, that self-belief. But I think, I am in good condition. I wouldn’t say that I am 100% fit. I am happy that I am hitting well and bowling with pace. So I know in a few more games, I will be where I want to be,” concluded the all-rounder.

Regarding the situation, Hassan Ali said, “I want to say to all Islamabad United fans, unfortunately, due to personal reasons I have to pull out of the remaining PSL matches. Some things are more important than cricket and nothing is more important than family. I am thankful to Islamabad United for their support and understanding. This team truly is a family that stands with you through thick and thin. I wish the team the very best of luck for the remaining PSL matches.”

Moreover, Islamabad United Captain, Shadab Khan, said, “We understand Hassan’s situation right now, family always comes first. We wish Hassan the very best of luck. He will obviously be a huge loss to our team and the tournament, but some things are more important than cricket. At Islamabad United, we have always looked after each other like a family and we will continue to do so.”

PSL 2021: Sarfaraz Ahmed Aspires Gladiators to score big Against United

by
Sarfaraz Ahmed

As Quetta Gladiators is all set to take on two-time champion Islamabad United in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 tonight, Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed says we will play every match like the final.

After suffering the setback against Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United will be aiming to recover themselves in this match against Gladiators in the 18th match of PSL 2021 remainders.

“We are already behind on the table and cannot afford any more defeats. If we want to make it to the knockout stage we have to win each match from here on so it is all to play for in Abu Dhabi. We have to put in the best in every department of the game to stay in the competition,” Sarfaraz said in a virtual presser.

“Yes, we had a horrendous run in Karachi when our game plan went haywire, particularly our fielding. That is surely one area we’ve been working on diligently,” he added.

Wicketkeeper-batsman opined that every individual knows his role and won’t repeat their previous mistakes.

“Every member of the team is capable of delivering and making the best use of his abilities. What we want from our batsmen is to stay at the wicket and make sure that there are enough wickets to go for a kill in the later part of the 20 overs. And when it comes to restricting opponents we should make the best of our bowling abilities,” he maintained.

Earlier on March 1, the United had defeated Gladiators in Karachi. However, all the contributors to the previous winners are not available to Islamabad on Friday.

PSL 6 may postpone

Amidst operational issues, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held an emergency meeting of franchise owners to examine the situation in the staging of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6.

According to sources, the issues related to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the remaining PSL 6 matches, might result in the postponement of the tournament.

During the meeting, the PCB officials sought two more hours to decide about an alternate venue while the franchise owners suggested postponing the tournament.

“Holding the remaining 20 PSL matches were proving difficult under the current circumstances and the tournament may not be held in Abu Dhabi,” sourced added.

They said the PCB had got all the required approvals from the UAE authorities including that of chartered flights.

“Sharjah can be an option and will come under discussion during the meeting,” they said.
