0.4  Anwar Ali to Shane Watson, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there!  (4) 
0.5  Anwar Ali to Shane Watson, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1)

1.1  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4) 
1.2  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
1.3  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, He's absolutely NAILED that one, but the man in the deep makes a fantastic save, pushing the ball back in just in time! His teammate picks up the ball and hurls it in and they save a run, good teamwork.  (3) 
1.4  Mir Hamza to Sharjeel Khan, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4)

3.2  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close.  (0) 
3.3  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, Good running, two runs.  (2) 
3.4  Mir Hamza to Shane Watson, Delicate little late cut, well placed. The batsmen hesitate going for the single...it's a huge mix up...and they end up at the same end! Easy runout, poor, poor running.

S. Watson       run out           (U Gul)
Runs : 20       Balls : 9         S/R : 222.2

3.6  Mir Hamza to Ben Duckett, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4)

5.3  Mir Hamza to Ben Duckett, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
5.4  Mir Hamza to Ben Duckett, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2) 
5.5  Mir Hamza to Ben Duckett, No Ball. Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1)

5.6  Mir Hamza to Sharjeel Khan, Rubbish ball, short and on the legs, flicked away with ease. Four more.  (4)

Nathan McCullum    1-0-11-0


7.1  Umar Gul to Ben Duckett, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2)

QUETTA GLADIATORS' INNINGS
Code:
0.1  Mohammad Irfan to Ahmed Shehzad, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
0.2  Mohammad Irfan to Luke Wright, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)

0.4  Mohammad Irfan to Luke Wright, Played to deep cover. Two runs.  (2)

An entirely inconsistent batting scorecard from Karachi Kings, they still manage to somehow get to 164 before being bowled out a ball short of their full quota. Kieron Pollard and Babar Azam score 58 and 44 runs, respectively. Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim and Rahat Ali score ducks!

17.1  Kashif Bhatti to Mohammad Rizwan, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
17.2  Kashif Bhatti to Mohammad Rizwan, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close.  (0) 
17.3  Kashif Bhatti to Mohammad Rizwan, No shot offered.  (0) 
17.4  Kashif Bhatti to Mohammad Rizwan, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0) 
17.5  Kashif Bhatti to Mohammad Rizwan, Oh boy what a catch that was! Incredible reflexes, he caught it one handed diving to his left, the batsman can't believe it!

18.1  Rahat Ali to Bilawal Bhatti, Perfect yorker on the leg stump.  (0) 
18.2  Rahat Ali to Bilawal Bhatti, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
18.3  Rahat Ali to Bilawal Bhatti, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two.  (2)

18.5  Rahat Ali to Bilawal Bhatti, One more to the total.  (1)

19.1  Sohail Khan to Bilawal Bhatti, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark.  (0) 
19.2  Sohail Khan to Bilawal Bhatti, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
19.3  Sohail Khan to Bilawal Bhatti, Easy single.  (1) 
19.4  Sohail Khan to Yasir Shah, The batsman drops the ball at his feet and sets off for a quick single, but the bowler pounces on it, turns around, and knocks the stumps down in one quick effort to send him packing! Brilliant effort.

Karachi Kings had to work hard for their first win. It seemed like the team was playing 3 or 4 captains at times. With non-captains Ravi Bopara, Mahela Jayawardena, Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik all having influences on what was going on with the team at almost every point of the innings.

With Gayle injury, it puts the opening slot up for grabs

Gayle (out) --> Khurram Manzoor (in)

Everything else will be the same.

If Sangakkara doesn't play a big innings, it looks like we might have to change the captaincy.

0.3  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, Text-book cover drive, four more.  (4) 
0.4  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4) 
0.5  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
0.6  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, AND HE'S OU...noooo! Got back home just in time. Two runs.  (2)

3.3  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0)

Junaid Khan    3-0-47-1


5.1  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
5.2  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, Good shot, they're running hard, the throw comes in, but they've managed a comfortable two.  (2) 
5.3  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two.  (2) 
5.4  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up.  (2) 
5.5  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, Oh, that's a juicy full toss and the batsman has nailed it! 6 runs!  (6) 
5.6  Darren Sammy to Rilee Rossouw, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2)

Rilee Rossouw     34 (14b)
Bismillah Khan     30 (11b)
Darren Sammy    3-0-42-1


6.1  Mohammad Asghar to Bismillah Khan, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1)

Rilee Rossouw is so unfortunate to miss out on a hundred by just 7 runs! Bismillah Khan with one of the best rookie innings of the season. Take a bow, lad! Peshawar Zalmi's inconsistent bowling displays are a point of worry for Darren Sammy. Especially Shahid Afridi and Junaid Khan's.

Chasing 206 was always going to be a tough ask, and it was made harder by Nathan McCullum and Zulfiqar Babar, who bowled excellently on this spinner-friendly wicket. Eoin Morgan and Tillakaratne Dilshan's fifties go in vain as Peshawar Zalmi face their second straight loss. They've also lost Andre Fletcher from the squad as He has been denied an NOC by WICB. Darren Sammy is a worried captain.

What a match! What an innings! Misbah-Ul-Haq, take a bow! 58 off just 19 balls, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Karachi Kings look dismayed and baffled as to WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Sharjeel Khan, Ben Duckett and Sam Billings all were on the undercard for the Misbah-Ul-Haq show!
