8.40pm Misbah wins the toss. Islamabad United opt to bowl


"Don't think toss will affect outcome of the game," says Zalmi captain Darren Sammy. "We have a lot of experience in our squad, around five or six captains. Hopefully we can put it out there on the field." Sammy aside, Jordan, Malan and Morgan are the foreigners.

Cricinfo:

Sorry, folks. More trouble in fixing the sightscreen. Not sure why it has taken so long. All we can do is wait. The groundstaff are now using ropes to mop up the outfield in the meanwhile. Never a good sign when host broadcasters cut to highlights of an old match. Sharjeel's century last year is on currently. Fingers crossed for a start soon

Sammy with a plan to bowl the spinner at Gayle early, and it worked.

Yep, exploit the weakness

Pollard has been told not to use the bail and nail them inside the crease with his bat handle to mark his guard. Expensive bails with LED display.


Really! i mean Pollard.

So, Tino just said that Fletcher was not given an NOC to go to play in the PSL. Was he the only one?

If not, why was Fletcher denied an opportunity, but Dwayne Smith, Chris Gayle, Samuel Badree, Sunil Narine, Darren Sammy and Marlon Samuels allowed to play?

Donkey say the world no level....

Quite revealing...he should have been questioned further

He's out of any further part of the super50 after today and he ain't complaining - publicly that is, so i guess he can join Zalmi now. Noticed his name on the roster from Monday.
