Lahore Lions v Karachi Dolphins - Faysal Bank T20 Final - Pre Match Discussion

[anakwalajinn]

Assalamu Aleikum :D

If it is to early to make the match thread, can some mods please edit this to the pre match thread? :ibutt

Sad to see Rams out :( But we are up for a great final! If the mosquiotototeotieoiteoas let us...

So what do you think? I think :afridi will go all the way. Lions have looked a bit weak in some departments...

Tutututututututueeauoooteaoooo tutututueotooteaoo teaooo :inti:inti:inti

Karachi will win

And Umar Akmal will go for a duck

[UmarAkmals-fan]

ya thread thori jaldi nahi aap na khol di?

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Karachi will win

And Umar Akmal will go for a duck

dream on

[khalil1986]

Hope KD win but not too concerned as long as it is a cracking game like the ones today, what time in the UK will it start?

[Friend786]

lions all the way ! Inshallah !

[khalil1986]

dream on

What did he make today?

[Boi]

I hope the Lions' thinktank know that Shahzaib doesn't like the short ball. He simply can't play it, so I'm expecting a barrage of bouncers at him tomorrow. :)

[Prince_Pathan]

dolphins gna emerge from the ocean...grab lion by the scruff of the neck and submerging begins...

[Friend786]

it's going to be a cracker!

[Stewie]

Lets go Lions!

[Desi]

dolphins gna emerge from the ocean...grab lion by the scruff of the neck and submerging begins...

couldn't have said it any better. hope lions know how to scuba dive or else they're gonna be...

[Pak_Pace]

This is the match the tournament needed in the final. Should be a great contest.

Lahore might make 300 with the batting lineup they have and the bowling form of Karachi.

Karachi will chase it down though :afridi :shahzaib

[*sallu*]

Couldn't have asked for a better match

2 batting giants, 2 arch rivals, whadda match

[Fawad2010]

Its gonna be an awesome match. Karachi, Lahore cricket rivalry has been going on since the beginning.

Its simply about which team's bowling can contain runs. Both teams has explosive batting orders.

Also toss will be important as it will be an evening match. Bowling with dew and mosquitoes is not something a bowler aspires to.

[anakwalajinn]

ya thread thori jaldi nahi aap na khol di?

Inspiration :afridi :afridi :afridi

[anakwalajinn]

I am ismelling a first ball duck from :shahzaib :O

[Stewie]

whoever wins, I just hope its good for Pakistan Cricket. I really liked the performances of Hammad Azam and Raza Hasan in this tournament and I think they are future super stars.

Shahzaib has done so well but I dont think he can cut it at international level. I hope he does but he may need a bit of work.

Sohail Khan also impressed with the ball for Dolphins in the semifinal.

Lions will rely on Yousaf and Junior to provide the steady batting.

It looks like it will be a cracker of a game.

[FastBowler]

Oi match hai kab?

[Sohaib]

Go Dolphins! You can do it!

[UmarAkmals-fan]

^^ inshallah

[Markhor]

Brilliant ! The two most supported teams in Pakistan head to head !

Karachi will edge it,though its Pakistan.Its Karachi and Lahore.Totally unpredictable.

[*sallu*]

Gooooo Lionsssssssssssssssssss

[Sledger]

I'm team Karachi. At least their bowlers are all above board. :Sami

[Desire]

key name is "shahzaib hassan". he has played almost at his best. There is so much intensity in the matches i wonder if he still can lift himself for tommorow's game.

[Atif]

Will be a great match to watch, but i think Karachi will win it. Afridi and Shazaib are both in top form, but if Lions can remove Shahzaib early then who knows what might happen.

[*sallu*]

Shahzaib is due a failure

He will get out early tomorrow, so is Afridi. Hes made 40 plus twice in a row now and plus Lahore have full pace battery.

Afridi and Shahzaib will fail with the bat tomorrow.

Dolphins best chance is Shafiq and Alam, but I still think Lahore will win it

[JellyBro]

godda support the home team :afridi

[cricketcrazy]

If Sami didnt crapped ( I'm dreaming haan ) Dolphins have a great chance.

Lala n Hasan will rip through Lahori bowlers.

I'm inviting all of the Karachi fans at PHAJJAIY KAI PAAIY for the celebration after the game, anyone ? :)

[anakwalajinn]

when is the next t20 domestic cup? I am thinking og going :O

[BoomBoomCricket]

Biggest domestic match of the decade!? I mean it! Surely? From a fans point of view at least?

Thriller potentially. Promises to be a cracking game.

Should be interesting to see what happens and who performs

Certainly the crowd will be in full tune and right behind the locals (Lahore)
Karachi have the better leader/captain

I personally am sitting on the fence but predict a Lahore win

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Where is Aamer sohail now who thinks playing banks is better for cricket then cities?

[farsiddiqui]

Where is Aamer sohail now who thinks playing banks is better for cricket then cities?

Actually, I think he said during the commentary yesterday when Afridi was batting against the Lahore Eagels, that people support players and not cities, and that's why they are cheering for Afridi against their home team. He said this is a vote of support for the department teams.

Idiotic logic, I know.

[farsiddiqui]

If Sami can somehow keep his economy rate in single digits, Dolphins will have the edge.

going by the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' school of thought than it should be Lahore. Dolphins beat the Rams so cant have Dolphins win it all now?

the other school of thought is that if Karachi beat the Rams, than Dolphins should win it all just so you feel the Rams were defeated by none other than the tournament champs.

your pick?

[Afridi_Fan]

My boys want to play in Champions League next year. :afridi

Sami is due a good game. KD all the way!! Go Dolphins!

KD bowlers and fielders will have to raise their game.

If Lions win the Toss put Dolphins to bat. Because Dolphins can chase very high targets.

Thank You for making it even more harder for me. I am tempted to go with the first option but will wait for another 10 hours to get all the anger after our loss out of my system to make a decision.

[srh]

^Its easy. Go with the team which has the Beast.

ahhh I knew where to click before I even look at this thread.

Lahories how does it feel to be second best team after dolphins :P

First of all, this thread/poll is about domestic cricket, so international performance doesn't count. :)

Secondly, KD fans should actually get the "Spirit of Cricket Award". :P

[Alam_dar]

It will be interesting game tomorrow.

The KD team seems to be having disadvantage while LL team has 4 Fast Bowlers. They all go for short balls to Shahzaib. Also Afridi normally hits sixes against spinners.

Therefore LL Bowlers slightly win the race against KD bowlers.

In batting, KD slightly ahead of LL at moment.

Hope to have great game tomorrow.

Rams fans went too far on more then one occasion!
If Amir was playing, then the team would have been a lot better. But in his absence, Pindi was just not up to par.

Also, it's underdog privilege to overdo the trash talking!

I cant really say who are the under Dogs for the match ? but i think it has to be Lahore Lions

For all you Lahoris. Meesha Shafi from Coke Studio is going to perform at the final tomorrow along with her band Overload. Just found this out on the Faysal Bank T20 page on facebook.

[Decipher]

So far its being quite depressing for the bowlers who are already struggling with having any tooth.
Batsmen are slogging left right and to the middle like mad "Dhobies" in those small grounds. I wish if the bowling standard could have been a little towards up north, a little more hostile, a little more aggressive.

Fielding has been pretty good at a very few occasions.

So this final game will probably be another batsmen's game.

Lions should win it as they have got the better bowing linup. Both the teams have very strong batting line but its the bowling who will decide the winner and I think Lions have that advantage...

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Whadda Great Two Teams Playing,

Karachi should Win This InshAllah

As we Have The Cub-Whadda Player

[Wanton]

I think, it would be a real test for karachi batsmen against Razzaq, Wahab and cheema. Wahab is the best fast bowler in this tournament, mixing his slow ones, slow bouncers, yorkers with pacy ones really good.

Yesterday the pace attack of Rams was really rubbish, tanveer bowled lots of fuu tosses and hit me balls.

Anyway it shud be a good game.

[umerz]

Karachi inshAllah

[Alam_dar]

Guys, here both teams head to head. Make you choices which one is better

Please copy the following form and then fill it that who wins.

1. Nasir Jamshed --- Shahzaib Hassan (................) KD wins

2. Ahmad Shehzad--- Khalid Latif (................)

3. Umar Akmal --- Asad Shafique (................)

4. Yousuf--- Fawad Alam (................)

5. Abdul Razzaq --- Afridi (................)

6. Raza Ali Dar--- Afsar Nawaz (................)

7. Adnan Akmal--- Sarfraz (................)

8. Wahab Riaz--- Sami (................)

9. Aizaz Cheema --- Sohail Khan (................)

10. Shabbir Ahmad--- Tanvir (................)

11. Waqas Ahmad --- Azam Hussain (................)


Here I am filling it according to my choice:

1. Nasir Jamshed --- Shahzaib Hassan (................) KD wins

2. Ahmad Shehzad--- Khalid Latif (................) LL wins

3. Umar Akmal --- Asad Shafique (................) LL wins

4. Yousuf--- Fawad Alam (................) undecided after watching last inning by Fawad

5. Abdul Razzaq --- Afridi (................) KD wins while Afridi is in form

6. Raza Ali Dar--- Afsar Nawaz (................) don't know

7. Adnan Akmal--- Sarfraz (................) KD wins

8. Wahab Riaz--- Sami (................) LL wins

9. Aizaz Cheema --- Sohail Khan (................) KD wins

10. Shabbir Ahmad--- Tanvir (................) KD wins

11. Waqas Ahmad --- Azam Hussain (................) don't know

If Kami would have also been available to LL, then it would have made LL favourite.

But without Kami, both teams are looking equally good.

LL have 5 fast Bowlers which is a positive thing for them as Afridi is not as good against fast bowlers as he is against spin. This means no spinner will be bowling to Afridi in this match.

5 fast bowlers also means we will see a lot of short bowling by LL against Shahzaib Hassan Khan Dashkara.


What will be the strategy of KD against the LL. What are the weak points of LL?

Yousuf--- Fawad Alam (................) undecided after watching last inning by Fawad

You will want to adjust your rating of Sami vs Wahab after today :Sami

[Maula Jutt]

I am a little concenrned about KD. Although both teams have batting power, I feel LL has an edge over KD where bowling is concerned. And bowling might be the decider in today's match.

I just hope it's KD's day today.

[SOSami]

More seriously, Wahab has been outstanding this tournament. Good bowler.

[hashbb]

I just hope it's KD's day today.
Yea, the pitches are flat though. It suits KD because that means bowlers from all teams basically are reduced to the same level - 80-90mph up-and-down bowlers with no swing or seam. The Ram's bowling (where the strength is in the team) was completely negated yesterday because of it. In a straight batting shoot-out, Rams were never going to win.

This is where the likes of Shahzaib, Afridi and even Alam make KD brilliant - no team as yet has been able to match the consistent hitting of KD.

If anyone can out gun KD it is the Lions , with Razzaq & Umer Akmal. Plus Shabbir is difficult to face.

Fascinating final. :Sami

[Maula Jutt]

More seriously, Wahab has been outstanding this tournament. Good bowler.

Definitely. Easily one of the best of the tournament, if not the best. I am just hoping Sami and Tanvir can match him today so Lahore's bowling advantage is nullified.

[IAJ]

The Lahore Dynamite will explode today!

[Maula Jutt]

The Lahore Dynamite will explode today!

Yeah. And while Karachi lifts its trophy, Lions' fans will be seen collecting their teams parts from around the stadium.

Exactly. LL has an edge over KD in terms of bowling.

KD will have to bowl out of their skins and field extremely well. They need to raise the standard of their fielding and hold on to whatever comes to them! Hopefully, Asad Shafiq has done some catching practice today!

[Sufi Malang]

Guys, the batting unit of both teams is very good and its hard to chose between them but its the bowling which will create teh difference and mark my words, Karachi is no match with Lahore when it comes to bowling dept. That has always been the case ever since :-)

[Friend786]

lions will eat the dolphins karahi !

[Alam_dar]

lions will eat the dolphins karahi !

It depends.

If fight takes place on Land, then Loin will be the winner. But if fight takes place in ocean, then poor loin has no chance.

By the way Dolphins are very smart and intelligent. They will try their best to trap the Loin in the water. :46:

[Newton_fan]

Beating a lion in his own jungle is way too difficult

[saeed-sohail]

LL all the way and Yousaf to lift the trophy.This will make life very uncomfortable for some ppers who had predicted yousaf will prove liability as captain.

Go yousaf.

[Maula Jutt]

Go yousaf.

Yousaf has gone ahead and done the impossible. No, not lifting the trophy. But becoming 'the best fielder' of the tournament.

[Sufi Malang]

Guys, the batting unit of both teams is very good and its hard to chose between them but its the bowling which will create teh difference and mark my words, Karachi is no match with Lahore when it comes to bowling dept. That has always been the case ever since :-)

See I told you guyz :-)

[Maula Jutt]

See I told you guyz :-)

You were right. And I mentioned at the beginning of the match thread too that it is our bowling that concerns me because while both the teams have good batsmen, Lahore also has good bowlers.

Karachi easily has the best batting line up among all teams. But you can't expect winning all matches on the basis of batting only.

I have to admit that being Pakistani fans, lack of good bowlers is a very strange and new feeling to have. This is probably what Indian fans go through all the time..

[saeed-sohail]

Good call sufi sahab.I thought KD bowling attack of sami sohail tanvir and afridi matched Razzaq wahab cheema and shabir on the paper at least.
