In this episode of the podcast, we briefly talk about each of the matches played in the qualifiers stage of the PSL8. We first talk about the clash between Multan & Lahore - which Multan won to make their way through to the finals.

The second qualifier was between Peshawar and Islamabad - both fighting to have a go with Lahore for a chance to reach the finals. Islamabad's batting really disappointed as they were looking good but were not able to finish the game, courtesy of great bowling by Peshawar.

The next clash was between Peshawar and Lahore fighting to play Multan in the finals. Peshawar was a few runs short and Lahore was able to chase down the total to make their way to their 2nd consecutive PSL final.

That's all from the qualifiers, stay tuned to hear about the PSL final - the last episode in this PSL8 series ✌️

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the final match of the women's exhibition series between the Amazons and the Superwomen.

It was a thriller with the Amazons setting a target of 219 for the Superwomen to chase. The Superwomen were also up to the challenge and were on par at many points in the game until the unfortunate run-out of Iram Javed - at which point they started losing wickets. A brilliant century by Chamari Athapaththu was not enough to get the Superwomen across the line and they ended up getting 185 in their allocated overs.

The Amazons reigned supreme and bagged the match as well as the series, 2-1. Danni Wyatt was again the player of the match for this one for her contributions with the bat as well as the ball.

We enjoyed these exhibition matches a lot and look forward to more such initiatives from the PCB which allow us to watch our women stars in action. Keep supporting women's cricket. And stay tuned to the podcast for more cricket updates 🙌

In this episode, we discuss the first 2 matches of the women's exhibition matches, which happened alongside the ongoing PSL matches. The matches were held between Amazons - led by Bismah Maroof, and Superwomen - led by Nida Dar.

Superwomen took the first match, with Nida Dar bagging the player of the match title. In the 2nd match, the Amazons came out all guns blazing, setting a total of 204 for the superwomen to chase. The bowling was also on point for the Amazon's, where they were able to defend their total and run away with the 2nd game. Dani Wyatt bagged the player of the match title for this one.

With each team winning one match a piece, it makes the 3rd and final match an even more interesting contest. And we're excited to find out who will come out on top as the victors. Stay tuned to hear our thoughts about the 3rd and final match.

We cover two more exciting games in this episode of the CricBuddies podcast. We first talk about the amazing performance of the Karachi Kings to upset the powerful batting of Multan Sultans - who are usually very strong with chasing. But this time around, they were undone by Karachi and their batting seemed to be in chaos. KK won this match by 66 runs. The second match was the high scoring affair between LQ and PZ. Lahore put up a mammoth total of 241 on the board for PZ to chase. PZ were on par and ahead at many points in the game but just lost too many wickets, courtesy of a 5er by jersey no 10, Shaheen Afridi himself. LQ won the game by 40 runs.

In this episode, we talk about the amazing performance of Islamabad United with the bat as well as the ball which took Quetta Gladiators by surprise as they struggled to keep pace with the roaring Islamabad Sherus. Islamabad put on a mammoth total of 220 which was just too much for Quetta to compete with. Azam Khan showed his classy shots to score 97 runs, also bagging the man of the match title.

We're back to cover more action from the ongoing season of the PSL. In this episode, we talk about two encounters. The first one being Peshawar vs Quetta - one of the most played fixtures in PSL history. Quetta fought hard but it was the Zalmi's which ended up on top in this one. We also talk about the next fixture, which was the Gladiators locking horns with the mighty Qalandars. The aggressive batting & bowling attack of Lahore Qalandars was just too good for the Gladiators and the Qalandars won this one with a breeze.

In this episode, we share our thoughts on the biggest rivalry of the PSL. This time, the Karachi Kings came out on top, securing their first win in the season so far. Lahore Qalandars - while having a better bowling attack - looked to be a bit out of touch. The home ground advantage was definitely with the Kings and played its part as well in helping them crush their rivals to reach their first victory of the season. We will be keeping our eyes on the 2nd game now with Lahore all geared up to take their sweet revenge. Stay tuned for analysis and discussion of more PSL games, and keep on watching and supporting the PSL.
