KK vs LQ Performance Analysis
Lahore Qalandars
The KK vs LQ was 4th defeat in 4 matches for Qalandars. Lahore Qalandars made a lot of mistakes in this match which led to losing this match. Applause to Sahibzada Farhan for 72 runs but batting till the end of the innings. Shai Hope is the top-order batter and sending to 6 is the most silly decision. Lahore Qalandars`s management blunder is sending Ahsan Hafeez and Jahandad Khan earlier than Shai Hope. They also sent Sikandar Raza to number 7 which is also a blunder.
Thanks to George Linde`s 13 balls 26 end over blitz which Lahore Qalandars make 175 for 6 in 20 overs. The bowling of Lahore Qalandars has some errors and again very big mistakes. No doubt Shaheen Shah Afridi, Zaman Khan, and Haris Rauf bowl a good spell. The trio took key wickets and put Karachi Kings under pressure. But, Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi`s big mistake was to finish the all-overs of a fast bowler before the last over. That`s the main reason for this defeat.
This defeat will dent their title defense but they need to win all matches. Their management needs a strong strategy for upcoming matches. Bringing David Wiese into the XI can boost the match. David Wiese is good with bat and bowl.
Karachi Kings
This KK vs LQ match was a special victory for Karachi Kings. The rivalry of Karachi vs Lahore is a bit old and saw the tough competition between these two sides. The top order of Karachi Kings failed today and 44 for 4 in power plays. Despite of victory, Shan Masood needs a strong opening partner. Veterans Shoaib Malik and Kieron Pollard`s batting is really like to watch. They both have experience and role models for cricketers in Kings Squad.
Karachi Kings`s bowling has been so far in this match. Mir Hamza and Hasan Ali`s spell is very good. But, Daniel Sams and Tabraiz Shamsi were expensive in this match. They are trying to perform more well in upcoming matches. Fans are happy about this victory of the Kings.
