Great batting from Kane, and Haider. Ben Stokes as always stepped up when needed, and Faheem was absolutely fantastic.

We would have liked another 20 odd runs on the board, but this target should still be an uphill battle for Quetta in the final.

Up to the bowlers now!

Quetta chased 3/3 360+ scores successfully this season at our home ground. Feeling confident we can do it once more.

Usman you beauty! What a spell he bowled considering the pitch.

Shaheen and Jofra were expensive. I just hope that doesn't come to bite us.

With Ben Stokes and Faheem Ashraf on the crease at the 40-over mark - and 300 already on the board, you would've backed Lahore Qalandars to set-up a 400-run target.
But an incredible display of death-bowling on arguably the flattest pitch in the world deprived Lahore Qalandars from what would've, and should've been a massive score.

After a flakey start, Lahore's captain Kane Williamson and Haider Ali steadied Qalandars with 79 and 57 respectively, as they shared a 101-run stand for the 3rd-wicket.
Faheem Ashraf and Ben Stokes picked-up the pace after successive dismissals to ignite Qalandars' fire of reaching a 400-run score for the first time in HCP history.

But excellent efforts from Usman Shinwari and Mohammad Nawaz pulled things back for the Qalandars - allowing Lahore to only score 56 runs in their last 60 deliveries.
Kamran Ghulam was the standout performer for the Gladiators with Kane Williamson and Haider Ali's dismissals to his name. He did not however, have the best figures.

Wicket! Rassie van der Dussen departs after being stuck plumb in-front of the wicket. Rassie van der Dussen played a mainstay knock which Quetta were desperate for.
With only 53 balls left, Quetta Gladiators still need 78 runs. Absolutely achievable but with two new man at the crease, and the pressure of the final, anything can happen.

Huge appeal for caught behind... the umpire is unmoved! GAME TIED! Jos Buttler goes to cut a wider delivery but he misses it, leaving Quetta one run short of the title.

Tied final! For the first time in the history of Haier Cup Pakistan - we have a tied final! Excellent knocks and phenomenal spells, but it's all come down to the Super Over.
Quetta started their chase fantastically with Rohit Sharma and Imam-Ul-Haq adding 123 runs for the opening-wicket in a partnership where both players reached fifties.

But Lahore did not budge and let the game get away right there and then, they made a comeback by dismissing Quetta's mainstay in successive order - rather cheaply.
With 11 runs required off the last 6 deliveries, Faheem Ashraf bowled really and did all he could - but the best he could manage for Lahore Qalandars was a tied game.

Gladiators did seem like they choked in the end. With just one run required of two deliveries, Jos Buttler was beaten on one delivery and nearly edged it on the second.
Mohammad Nawaz and Jos Buttler played brilliantly throughout the run-chase, but the last two deliveries demeaned everything they did very quickly and very efficiently.

We have a simulation god on this forum and his name is REDACTED because he has specifically told me not to refer him with his real name (even though it is available in multiple places on this forum itself... lol)

So we will just call him @Na Maloom Alien (because clearly he isn't from this planet)

How on earth is he been able to sim such matches? Consistently. Over the years?

You mad bro? :p
