NICE!!!!

2 in 2. A little closer than I would have liked but a win is a win. Wasim and Afridi's bowling was a little expensive but luckily the wickets kept tumbling for the opposition. Lets keep this up.

Quetta Gladiators' big guns flop for the second time in a row

After having a bye in the second round, the Quetta Gladiators played their second match in round three against the Lahore Qalandars who were dominated by Multan Sultans in the previous round. Playing on a dusty, dry pitch, the Lahore Qalandars opted to bat first after winning the toss. They posted an imposing 183 in their 20.0 overs, with most of their batsmen firing. None of them, however, could get to a big score.

Umar Akmal and Brendon McCullum finished in the 40s, and their openers, Sunil Narine and Fakhar Zaman added 20 and 25 in quick succession. Even though Hasan Khan and Shane Watson bagged three wickets apiece, they just weren't enough to restrict them to a low total.

The chase started off poorly for the Quetta Gladiators. They lost their first three wickets quite early, leaving Kevin Pietersen and Sarfraz Ahmed the task to rebuild the innings. They did successfully rebuild, and where certainly helped by a late resurgence from Asad Shafiq but after their Pietersen and Ahmed's dismissals, the rest of the lower-order fizzled out, falling fairly short of the total.

Multan Sultans' bowlers overwhelmed by JP Duminy, Misbah-Ul-Haq and Sam Billings

Islamabad United broke Multan Sultans' winning streak by a whopping 48-run margin. They decided to bat first after having won the toss. And what a decision it was, as they scored the first 200 of the season. Islamabad United's innings was powered by JP Duminy, Misbah-ul-Haq and Sam Billings, their three middle-order marvels. Even though the openers completely failed and disappointed.

JP Duminy scored a steady 49-ball 59, batting at number 3, assuring that what happened to their openers wouldn't affect the team total, he was supported well by a blitzy Misbah-ul-Haq innings that saw 26 runs off only 9 balls, balancing the run rate between them. Then, Sam Billings and Andre Russell came out to bat and put the icing on top. They added 108 runs off of 53 balls, combined.

Multan Sultans fell convincingly short in their chase, going for that target. And even though, their top-order completely fired, the run rate they achieved wasn't good enough, and the lower-order fizzling out did them no favours. Perhaps had Kieron Pollard and Thisara Perera fired in the end, they would've won. But it was not the case, this time at least.

Karachi Kings edge out Peshawar Zalmi by a narrow margin

In the most breathtaking game of the season, so far. Karachi Kings edged out Peshawar Zalmi by a narrow 6-run margin whilst defending only 148. After being put into bat first, Karachi Kings were bowled out for 148, courtesy of some scintillating swing bowling from Chris Jordan, and a spell of spin bowling from Mohammad Asghar that was a mystery to the batsman. They both claimed 3 wickets apiece. Ravi Bopara's 41 was the highest score of the innings, although Shahid Afridi and Babar Azam did get going at the start with a fiery scoring rate, they failed to capitalise on it.

Karachi Kings did their absolute best to defend that total, and they successfully did. Mohammad Amir was Karachi Kings' hero with the ball, picking 3 wickets for only 23 runs, and Tymal Mills picked 2 for 18. Both of their spearhead fast bowlers were effective, and had a huge role in winning them the game. It was not a good top-order display from Peshawar Zalmi, but Mohammad Hafeez and Darren Sammy picked up the mantles of responsibility, and almost got them home. But, only almost.

Once again I'll go unchanged. A Dubai track needs my spinners and this is the best XI for them.

I have changes in mind when we head to Sharjah.

6.1  Raza Hasan to Lendl Simmons, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region.  (4) 
6.2  Raza Hasan to Lendl Simmons, 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) 
6.3  Raza Hasan to Lendl Simmons, And the batsman unveils the sweep shot, and it's done beautifully too! Four more!  (4) 
6.4  Raza Hasan to Lendl Simmons, 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)

Fakhar Zaman's quick start, Umar Akmal's noteworthy performance, Sohail Akhtar's beautifully paced innings and Sohail Khan's late revolt against the Karachi Kings bowlers helped Lahore Qalandars put the first one in the loss column for the Karachi Kings. And let's not miss Mustafizur Rahman's 4-wicket haul which included a hat trick.

Code:
Karachi Kings      171/10 in 19.4 overs. 
Lahore Qalandars   173/6  in 19.0 overs. 

Lahore Qalandars won by 4 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Mustafizur Rahman (Lahore Qalandars)

5.1  Anwar Ali to JP Duminy, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and inside edges the ball into his off-stump! Well, that's what you get for trying to slog across the line! I hope he's learnt his lesson.

Islamabad United post a mammoth 200-run target for Quetta Gladiators in this match, and this comes right after they scored 204 against Multan Sultans in the previous game. But, this time it wasn't as much of a team contribution. This time, it was a one-man show from Alex Hales. And even though Misbah-Ul-Haq added a classy 39, and Faheem Ashraf capped off the innings with a quick cameo, it was Alex Hales' 96 that laid the base to this huge total. Unfortunately, he top-edged one, and got caught 4 runs short of a century.

Quetta Gladiators have done it! They pull off one helluva chase! And all of the credit goes to Kevin Pietersen, who scored a 49-ball 75, Sarfraz Ahmed who added 44 runs off just 26 balls, and the openers that scored 54 off 27 balls combined, and Rahat Ali hitting a four off the last ball when four were required. So, a team effort.
