00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 Hello, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] and welcome to the Pavilion.
00:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06 Sports, Pakistan's first HD sports channel
00:10 and our continued coverage of the HBL PSL season 9.
00:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:15 We've got two games in store for you,
00:22 and we're going to talk about that.
00:24 But before that, I'm going to bring you to the studio.
00:26 First, my guests that I have, four fantastic cricketing minds,
00:30 four former captains of Pakistan,
00:31 four outstanding gentlemen.
00:33 First up, I've got Azhar Ali with him,
00:37 Professor Muhammad Afeez.
00:39 With that, Captain Miss Paul Haque.
00:43 And finally, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] what can I say?
00:46 I'm speechless like always.
00:48 Rather, I have a lot of words to say about this gentleman,
00:50 but I would stay speechless this time.
00:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:54 Good morning.
00:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:57 Good morning.
00:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:58 All right, gentlemen, welcome, welcome.
01:07 Hope you're all rested.
01:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:10 All right, Azhar.
01:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:21 He had to travel to Lahore.
01:27 Oh, you went for a day's trip to Lahore?
01:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:45 After that video we made, behind the scenes,
01:48 she messaged me, who's the begum?
01:51 She only understood the begum bit on the phone.
01:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:55 [LAUGHTER]
01:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:01 Absolutely.
02:02 Who would know that better than you?
02:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:22 OK, let's get down to the business of the HBL PSL 9.
02:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:30 That was an important game between Karachi Kings
02:32 and Quetta Gladiators in a great match.
02:34 We saw-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:37 This was the last match, the day before yesterday.
02:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:44 Great balling by Ibrar.
02:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:58 And Tariq has been quite a discovery.
02:59 Everybody's talking about him.
03:01 And Aqeel Hussain there, 2 for 34.
03:02 Wasim Junior, 1 for 46, the most expensive one out there.
03:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:08 169 of 5 wickets.
03:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:13 58 of 31.
03:14 That was the match-winning innings.
03:16 That was the innings that made the difference.
03:17 But Jason Roy up top had given a good start to Gladiators
03:21 with that 52 of 31 deliveries as well.
03:23 Shaquille, South Shaquille, again, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:35 Zayed there, picking up 2 wickets with 17 runs, 4 overs.
03:38 Hasan Ali, 2 for 39 and 4.
03:40 And Shoaib Malik, 1 for 19 for 3.
03:42 Quetta Gladiators winning this one by 5 wickets.
03:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:01 Looking really, really good.
04:03 Quetta Gladiators trading right behind them at number 2.
04:05 5 matches played, 4-1, 1 lost.
04:08 And [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:15 Islamabad United.
04:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:22 Karachi Kings.
04:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:42 And that's how the HBL PSL 9 points table is this morning.
04:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:48 It's been a great HBL PSL.
04:50 Some really close games.
04:51 In fact, a lot, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:55 Including the last one between Karachi Kings and Quetta
04:58 Gladiators.
04:58 Yeah, very good game, good cricket.
05:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:10 But I suppose, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:13 We'll talk about it a little later.
05:15 But generally, PSL, cricket-wise,
05:17 has been exceptional.
05:18 Crowds in Multan, Lahore has been incredible.
05:23 I think Pindi will be the same as well.
05:26 Karachi, obviously, unfortunately,
05:27 maybe we can build [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:30 But [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:32 We spoke about it in length the other day.
05:34 About the problem [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:36 Once we've been through that problem ourselves,
05:38 we realize that it's not easy to reach the ground.
05:41 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:48 Sure.
05:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:58 Ticket holders, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:11 And then, of course, the toilets, and so forth,
06:13 and so on.
06:13 So we just hope that all of this is addressed,
06:16 so that more people would go with their families
06:17 to watch a game of cricket.
06:18 I remember a couple of PSLs ago.
06:22 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:34 Where can people come and watch the game?
06:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:37 I suppose, again, it's got to do with PCB leadership,
06:40 because [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:43 decision making [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:47 But I hope [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:49 There should be a system [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:00 I hope [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:02 is more professional than the others.
07:04 He'll probably hire the right people
07:06 and give them the power to make decisions.
07:09 That's how the cricket should run.
07:10 Absolutely.
07:11 Azhar, for you, what has been the special moment in this HBL
07:13 PSL 9 so far?
07:15 I think, again, closed games.
07:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:37 I think, again, this highlight has been young players.
07:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:45 They're known for that.
07:56 But I'm always looking forward to [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:02 Muhammad Ali is a star in the making in terms of [NON-ENGLISH
08:08 SPEECH]
08:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:13 That is where--
08:14 They've been impact players.
08:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:33 I go through social-- we all go through the social feeds
08:36 that come around.
08:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:39 A lot of people were of the view that there's
08:42 a little bit of disappointment in how our star fastballers are
08:45 performing in this HBL PSL 9 versus some
08:48 of the young guys that have done really well for themselves.
08:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:15 As you grow up in your professional life,
09:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:02 It's a challenge for all the players.
10:04 Or with the same time, same opportunity to everyone.
10:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:20 He's been a part of the system.
10:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:35 So I think it will challenge [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:41 Sometime, they take things granted.
11:00 And that can take away you from the system.
11:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:05 All right.
11:21 Misma, fielding standards, very questionable in this HBL PSL 9.
11:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:04 It starts from your mind.
12:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:08 Negativity--
12:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:20 It means--
12:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:32 But here, guys, we can go on on this subject for like three hours with all of us.
12:50 Yeah.
12:51 We know where the problem lies.
12:53 And we've been saying it.
12:54 I've been saying it.
12:55 I retired 20 years ago.
12:56 I've been saying it for 20 years.
12:57 It's the first class structure.
12:58 It's the first class.
12:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:00 But system is for your bowling and batting also.
13:16 Yeah.
13:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:18 Then why not fielding?
13:26 Why not fitness?
13:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:41 So I think that should be something.
14:07 Yeah.
14:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:10 Because he's physically very fit.
14:34 He was last year I was at Karachi.
14:36 He was there, and he took a couple of blinders.
14:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:44 You guys will know as well.
15:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:14 [LAUGHTER]
16:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:17 You're watching The Pavilion on Esports,
16:22 and this is the HBLPS online coverage.
16:24 We'll be back after these messages.
16:26 Welcome back to The Pavilion.
16:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:28 Our content coverage of the HBLPS season 9.
16:30 And with me in The Pavilion, I've got four fantastic gentlemen,
16:32 four former captains of Pakistan.
16:34 I've got Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez, Miss Fawzi Haq,
16:36 and the great Wasim Akram.
16:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:41 It's a super Saturday for us here at the HBLPS 9.
16:44 We've got two games in store for us.
16:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:51 Versus Lahore Columbus.
16:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:57 They have to win all their games to have any chance
17:06 at making it to the playoffs.
17:08 The Pakistani army, on the other hand,
17:10 looking a very good strong squad.
17:12 And they are clicking now as a team.
17:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:15 United versus Quetta Gladiators.
17:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:24 And that's how it is.
17:35 Let's talk about the first game.
17:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:37 Really, Mishpa?
17:44 I-- OK.
17:45 Anyway, I'll let it go.
17:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:48 What can I say?
18:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:05 100%.
18:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:11 100%.
18:12 [LAUGHTER]
18:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:16 [LAUGHTER]
18:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:35 For the first game.
18:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:41 Right, head to head, brought to you by U Phone.
18:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:56 And that's your head to head, brought to you by U Phone 4G.
19:14 Mishpa, Lahore Columbus must be under a lot of pressure.
19:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:19 To have any kind of chance on the playoffs.
19:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:23 It's a big challenge for them.
19:39 Fastballing, but I'm going to role play [INAUDIBLE]
19:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:45 They'll also miss Haris Rauf.
19:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:55 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:00 Length ball, normal [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:10 Lahore Columbus, a different kind of bowling attack.
20:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:25 It's going to be a challenge.
20:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:37 An average score last year in PSL at Pindi was 206, 209.
20:55 So that means [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:59 And I think Pindi is one of the most--
21:08 Batting friendly pitches?
21:09 Batting friendly [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:11 It's the closest to the players.
21:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:27 Because of the altitude, because Pindi
21:39 is at a higher altitude from sea level, you have thinner air.
21:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:43 This is a stat right there in front of you.
21:46 This is the Luke Woods bowling in the power play.
21:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:50 That's not a random stat at all.
21:57 It's a very random stat.
21:58 I know.
21:59 [LAUGHTER]
22:00 I think we are pretty random this morning.
22:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:04 Because it is Peshawar Zalmi versus Lahore Calandars.
22:12 It is Babur Azam versus Shaheen Afridi.
22:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:16 Look at that.
22:21 Strike rate is good against Shaheen for Babur Azam.
22:23 He's played 73, but he's been dismissed three times as well.
22:25 Yeah, people love this kind of contest.
22:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:30 But for people like us who are cricket lovers,
22:40 who watch cricket, for them, it's a kind of a battle
22:43 within the battle.
22:44 You know?
22:45 Yeah.
22:46 So yeah.
22:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:48 So it's going to be a good game, and Peshawar
22:53 is looking favorite.
22:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
22:55 So they're in good nick.
23:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:02 You're kind of out of the tournament.
23:12 Maybe a little chance, maybe, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:20 They must have been hurt.
23:31 I'm sure they [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:41 Yes, we had a poor tournament so far,
23:43 but we have to prove [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
23:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:18 Yeah.
24:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:39 According to their previous repute, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:42 And then [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
24:53 That's it.
25:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:10 Right.
25:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:29 All right, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:45 We'll talk some more, but after this break.
25:48 Welcome back to the Pavilion of Akram.
25:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:51 Continued coverage of the HBL PSL season 9.
25:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
25:57 Lahore Columbus, second one up, is
25:59 Islamabad United with Quetta Gladiators.
26:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:08 But when you look at the six games that they have played,
26:15 what do you think are the good takeaways Lahore Columbus has
26:18 from these games?
26:19 Or some of those extraordinary performances or individuals
26:22 that you would--
26:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:53 OK, once in a while, I spoke about it.
26:56 Shaheen can come and bat.
26:57 This is Jahandar.
26:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
26:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:01 But that was a good little cameo innings from him.
27:11 Overall, the main all-rounder, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:19 Yeah, and that--
27:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:24 You win, or you learn.
27:30 OK.
27:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:33 So they are learning, I think.
27:35 Too much.
27:36 Too much learning.
27:37 I think it's a good phase for the Shaheen to learn.
27:39 To be very honest, as a captain, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:43 There's something I need to manage myself also better
27:56 than the previous games.
27:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
27:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:02 I think this is something--
28:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:15 Right.
28:19 I'm not saying that it's a positive thing,
28:21 but it will help him to understand [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:26 I think that is a learning phase for him.
28:40 And also for the Lahore [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:42 But now, I think they're coming back to that spot.
28:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
28:51 Almost every game, they scored runs.
29:08 The kind of form [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:17 And then [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:20 He's just scoring bulk of the runs.
29:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:39 Usman as well?
29:41 Usman is with [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:44 [LAUGHTER]
29:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
29:47 You now know that everybody is awake on this side.
29:58 All right, with that, it's time for the numbers game
30:00 brought to you by Sting.
30:01 Here's the numbers game brought to you by Sting.
30:04 Highest run rate in T20s since 2023.
30:07 In Rawalpindi, venue-wise, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:13 Centurion, the Oval, Leeds, Cardiff, all behind.
30:16 These are all international venues, Wasim.
30:18 So is Rawalpindi.
30:19 Yeah, I'm saying that is true.
30:20 So that obviously shows how flat the pitch is for T20 form.
30:24 And it's good for cricket.
30:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:26 If it's cloudy, obviously, they won't meet due.
30:32 But if it's not, they will be due in Islamabad.
30:34 Absolutely.
30:35 And that's your numbers game brought to you by Sting.
30:37 All right, folks, we've got some news coming in now.
30:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
30:41 Looks a steady kind of weather.
31:06 It's windy.
31:07 It's windy.
31:08 The drizzle weather must be amazing, like Karachi there,
31:11 about 20 degrees.
31:12 Yeah.
31:13 It's cold in Karachi this morning, by the way.
31:15 Yeah, but it must be.
31:16 Look at that.
31:18 Wow.
31:19 Nice, Amir.
31:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:21 Yeah, I believe [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:25 But I suppose it all depends [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:29 If it's good enough, maybe second game [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:32 We don't know how wet the ground is right now.
31:34 But it appears it has been drizzling all night.
31:37 Well, the weather forecast is saying continuous rain
31:39 throughout the day.
31:40 OK.
31:41 So the showers will continue all the way into the--
31:43 So unless and until showers are completely stopped,
31:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:49 So it has to be stopped.
31:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
31:51 Yeah, I suppose if you look at that way, yeah.
32:03 But yeah, I hope the cricket hole, but again,
32:06 weather you can't control.
32:07 Yep, you can't control the weather.
32:09 And you can't control the amount of breaks
32:11 that we take in this show.
32:12 We'll see you on the other side.
32:13 Welcome back to "The Pavilion."
32:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:15 Sports are continuing coverage of the HBLPSL season 9.
32:18 And what an exciting season this has been.
32:20 Today is a super Saturday.
32:22 And it is super duper fun, because we've
32:24 got two games in store for you.
32:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:29 United versus Quetta Gladiators.
32:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:39 From Rawalpindi Stadium.
32:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:57 Yeah.
32:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
32:59 Not really.
33:04 I suppose you--
33:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:06 Not really, especially if you're Lahore,
33:08 you would like to play a game.
33:09 You just don't want to get one point.
33:11 Because I suppose--
33:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
33:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:00 So I think it's good for the game.
34:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:13 Because as a player, you always want to have a game.
34:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:17 It's a tough time.
34:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:22 Coffee?
34:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:34 I like the word.
34:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
34:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:06 So once you're there, for 10 minutes, there's nothing to do.
35:22 For anyone.
35:23 So most of them just attack.
35:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:34 And stuff like that.
35:39 And then the [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:41 I think when the story [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:48 And we arrived three hours before the game, three and a half
35:52 hours, because opening ceremony.
35:54 We spoke about it.
35:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
35:57 Opening ceremony, because it takes long.
35:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:00 It's neither tea time, neither lunch time, neither dinner time.
36:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
36:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

36:57 You need kind of a--
36:58 You don't-- your body never reacts.
37:00 Exactly.

39:44 I can't tell while sitting here.
39:46 That's the whole thing.
39:47 Random question you asked me.
39:48 Happening or not happening?
39:49 I hope it happens, but I doubt it.
39:51 So not happening.
39:52 If it doesn't happen, you get one point each, right?
39:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
39:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:56 I'll give you a point for this.

41:03 I used to hate it.
41:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
41:06 Hi, baby.
41:10 How are you and all?

42:29 I mean, from here, but again, it's
42:31 very hazy because of the clouds and dew.
42:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:38 That's what the forecast is saying all the way
42:44 into the evening.
42:45 So it looks a little difficult.
42:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
42:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
43:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
