@SAM. sorry to interrupt you but you are taking too long to post one match.
Even in the biggest leagues of the planet cricket the Final Match is not also stretched too long and this Qualifier 1 and you have not posted a single innings in two days.
Its my thinking and opinion

3.1  Anwar Ali to MS Dhoni, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6)
3.2  Anwar Ali to MS Dhoni, Tucked on the off side, two more to the total.  (2)
3.3  Anwar Ali to MS Dhoni, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run.  (0)
3.4  Anwar Ali to MS Dhoni, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1)
3.5  Anwar Ali to Azhar Ali, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0)
3.6  Anwar Ali to Azhar Ali, 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)

4.1  Bilawal Bhatti to Shoaib Malk, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single!  (1)
4.2  Bilawal Bhatti to Mohammed Rizwan, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0)
4.3  Bilawal Bhatti to Mohammed 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)

Yasir Arafat Stunned everyone with the bowl in hand. Five Done Karachi 47/3 Still looks tough

5.1  Yasir Arafat to Mohammed Rizwan, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run.  (0)
5.2  Yasir Arafat to Mohammed Rizwan, Shortish delivery on the stumps, the batsman backs away and swats it to cover for a single  (1)
5.3  Yasir Arafat to Shoaib Malk, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3)
5.4  Yasir Arafat to Mohammed Rizwan, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3)
5.5  Yasir Arafat to Shoaib Malk, Lovely late cut through the vacant third man region. Four more.  (4)

6.1  Nicholas Scholtz to Shoaib Malk, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1)
6.2  Nicholas Scholtz to Mohammed Rizwan, He didn't middle that, but there is enough power on it to get the batsmen three.  (3)
6.3  Nicholas Scholtz to Shoaib Malk, 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)
6.4  Nicholas Scholtz to Mohammed Rizwan, 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)
6.5  Nicholas Scholtz to Mohammed Rizwan, Lofted drive, falls into the gap. The ball gets stuck in the outfield meaning the batsmen get only two.  (2)

7.4  Rahat Ali to Mohammed Rizwan, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4)

8.5  Sunil Narine to Mohammed Rizwan, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3)
8.6  Sunil Narine to Shoaib Malk, 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)

Islamabad Dragons elected to Bowl

Faislabad Innings (Batting First)

0.1  Lasith Malinga to Nasir Jamshed, And that's going all the way, four runs!  (4)
0.2  Lasith Malinga to Nasir Jamshed, Easy single.  (1)
0.3  Lasith Malinga to Azhar Ali, Delicate little late cut, well placed. Quick single taken.  (1)
0.4  Lasith Malinga to Nasir Jamshed, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3)
0.5  Lasith Malinga to Azhar Ali, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and top edges it high into the air. It's an easy catch in the end, and hopefully the batsman has learnt why you shouldn't slog across the line!

1.4  Angelo Mathews to Kevin Pitersein, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it!  (4)
1.5  Angelo Mathews to Kevin Pitersein, Great yorker, he's hit flush on the toe and is dead in front! In one ball he's lost his wicket and his pride, and has a broken toe to boot!
