00:00 Yesterday in PSL Season 9, Islamabad United and Multan Sultan were up against each other.
00:05 And against all odds, everyone thought that Islamabad's team was very strong.
00:09 But Multan achieved success with 5 wickets.
00:13 And because of Muhammad Ali's brilliant bowling, he was declared the Player of the Match.
00:18 It rarely happens that everyone's prediction is the same.
00:21 And yesterday it was the same, so everyone's prediction was wrong.
00:24 What to say, Kamran, why did we feel like that?
00:27 Islamabad's balance was good, but Multan played a brilliant game.
00:32 They played brilliantly, and as far as prediction is concerned, we are magicians.
00:37 We can tell you that by looking at the combination.
00:41 But Multan made a brilliant comeback in the 25th minute.
00:44 Like Abbas Afridi bowled, he got 25 in the first two overs,
00:48 and in the next two overs he scored 3 more and scored 7 more.
00:51 He made a comeback, played proper bowling.
00:54 And then Muhammad Ali bowled well.
00:57 There was a label that said Red Bull was for cricket.
00:59 He bowled well in the T20 and played well with pace.
01:03 And I think this is the edge that Multan's team is getting.
01:06 And then they took it to batting.
01:08 And now let's see, they chased it well.
01:10 But they couldn't do what they should have done 3-4 overs ago.
01:14 They couldn't do it in the last 5 or 20 overs.
01:17 But it was a good victory.
01:19 The wicket was like this, the bowlers were getting help.
01:22 The batsmen who are set up, they don't have steady innings.
01:26 They have to take it to the cupboard.
01:28 It was a low scoring game.
01:30 They made mistakes in that in Islamabad.
01:32 They made mistakes in fielding.
01:34 So this is the thing, in batting you know how the shot selection was.
01:38 Excellent.
01:39 Basit bhai, in the Lahore-Kalandar match you were saying that
01:42 fast bowlers should hunt in pairs.
01:44 So their combination is not working.
01:46 Did you see that in Multan yesterday?
01:48 How Abbas Afridi and Muhammad Ali created a dangerous atmosphere for them.
01:54 Before yesterday's match, in the first match,
01:57 the way Willy had outed two of Karachi's players,
02:00 that day Willy put a dent.
02:04 Similarly, in yesterday's match, Muhammad Ali put a dent.
02:07 And the way Abbas is playing,
02:10 if we say one name, it's Osama Mir.
02:12 Yesterday, after one over was out,
02:15 the way he came back and outed Azam,
02:18 he took two wickets.
02:20 And he finished his four overs on 29, so not bad at all.
02:22 It's a big achievement.
02:24 There is one thing, the pitch was not up to mark.
02:27 It wasn't?
02:28 No.
02:29 And in this, Islamabad has lost,
02:32 it's a bit of a harsh statement.
02:34 Islamabad, the management of United is very much at fault.
02:39 You see, no one is going to ask them,
02:42 that in the first match, you sent Shadakh on number 3,
02:45 which we say, he comes on number 4 or 5.
02:48 In yesterday's match, he comes on number 7.
02:51 But you yourself said, the wicket was not like that.
02:55 What do you mean?
02:56 The one who has confidence in cricket,
02:59 he will come first.
03:01 The one who has a high level of confidence,
03:03 he will come first to bat.
03:04 He won't come later.
03:05 In cricket, confidence level is definitely seen.
03:08 And the biggest thing is,
03:10 Imad Naseem is a very good bowler.
03:13 Even though he doesn't bowl so well as a left-hander,
03:16 Naseem Shah had hit the left-hander with a stick.
03:19 After that, both were right-handers.
03:21 So, he should have brought the ball in the circle.
03:23 This problem has been with us in Karachi as well.
03:25 When the left-hander was in front.
03:26 No, no, no.
03:27 When the left-hander was in front, he didn't come.
03:29 But yesterday, both were right-handers.
03:31 He is a skiddy bowler.
03:33 So, he is very deceptive with the new ball.
03:36 Plus, Shadab himself came to bowl after 10 overs.
03:40 So, these are the decisions in T20,
03:43 if you make a mistake,
03:44 it becomes very difficult for you to come in the match.
03:46 Even after that, if you lose a ball in the first match,
03:49 it is a big achievement.
03:50 Absolutely right.
03:51 Shahid sir, 5 matches have been played.
03:54 And in 5 matches, I am losing track of how many catches we are missing.
03:58 Because there is not a single team.
03:59 Shahid sir's fiddling is going on.
04:01 But this topic is Shahid bhai's favourite,
04:03 that we have to improve on this.
04:05 If we don't improve in PSL and domestic cricket,
04:08 then we will go to international cricket.
04:10 How will we do it?
04:11 And we can see it. What standard is this?
04:12 And this is the special thing about T20 cricket,
04:14 as we said, everyone was saying that Islamabad's balance is very good.
04:17 Their composition is very good.
04:19 So, this is what is said,
04:20 you can keep 11-11 world-class players in the team,
04:22 if they don't play well that day,
04:24 then you can never win a T20 match.
04:26 These mistakes that Basit made, Nishant Dahi,
04:28 that if Shadab scored so well in the first match,
04:31 then he should have gone up.
04:33 Salman, we saw, struggled to make 52 runs,
04:36 he played 43 balls.
04:38 He is a very active player,
04:39 but because the pitch was not so good for a stroke player,
04:42 so he also struggled.
04:43 And then when Sultan started batting,
04:46 Islamabad got the first wicket soon.
04:48 If you are defending a modest total of 145,
04:50 then you need a wicket soon.
04:52 They got the first wicket,
04:53 but the second wicket was so far ahead,
04:55 that by the time the match was over.
