[NYRB]

Alex Hales was playing in the Bangladesh Premier League the other day. Lol

 

[NYRB]

Cricinfo showing Hales played 2 games in Bangladesh Premier League.

 

[NYRB]

Islamabad Utd win the opener with 10 balls to spare.

 

[NYRB]

Erin Holland was looking might fine tonight as well.............

[NYRB]

How does Hosein do it? He was playing last night in the ILT20 grand final which finished about 15 hours ago and then has to backup the following day.

 

[NYRB]

Doull saying we are playing on a pitch 2 across from the surface last night.

 

[NYRB]

England v England

Luke Wood v Jason Roy

 

[NYRB]

Ground is lightning quick here at Lahore.

 

[NYRB]

Decent start from Quetta in Game 2 in the powerplay, they are 70/0 after 6 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Daniel Mousley into the attack for the first time today.

 

[NYRB]

Mousley with a dropped chance in his 1st over.

 

[NYRB]

And with the strategic time out, Quetta are coasting along nicely at 100/0 after 10 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Dropped catch by Rovman Powell. That looked like a bit of fatigue having played in the ILT20 final last night.

 

[NYRB]

Quetta 206/5 off 20 overs against Peshawar Zalmi. At one stage , they looked odds on for 214+

 

[NYRB]

Dominic Cork saying no team has ever chased that target down here. (206 or more that is at Lahore)

 

[NYRB]

Going to come down to the last over in Lahore in Game 2

 

[NYRB]

Quetta Gladiators defeat Peshawar Zalmi in Game 2 by 16 runs.

At one stage, Zalmi were odds on favourites to win that in the chase.

 

[NYRB]

I Dont know what T20 franchise teams around the world see in Tom Kohler-Cadmore. The guy doesnt perform consistently enough.

 

[NYRB]

[NYRB]

Not a full house in Multan tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Rizwan has to go in the powerplay, that did look pretty plum.
