Commentator: Rvel Z
That's it, folks. Thanks for tuning in. It's goodbye and good night from me, Rvel Zahid
Sufiyan Muqeem, Player of the Match: Glad I performed well and we won the match. The individual performances are helping team win on a regular basis. During match, I talked to Iftikhar and I followed the same length where he bowled at. I keep it simple and I have found success that way.
Saud Shakeel, Quetta Gladiators Captain: It was easily a 170-175 pitch. We are repeating the same mistakes, loosing too many wickets in the middle and as a result, we are stuck in between defense and attack. We sit, talk and make game plans but I think we got too muddled in tactics that we forget the basics. Think we made too many changes, will try to work on the shortcomings and improve our performance. (reason why Usman bowled late), It's not like that. We were trying to take the game deep and thought the could give us back to back wickets late in the game. But if we don't have enough runs on the board then teams won't take extra risk against spinners which reduces the likelihood of picking wickets
Babar Azam, Peshawar Zalmi Captain: We assessed the conditions and our bowling attack has been delivering consistently and we were relying on it. It's a team game and combined effort is helping us win. We're keeping the players sitting out ready and that's why we see them performing well. Take the example of Basit who bowled fantastically. on my personal form, yes I feel good, when you spend time out in the middle, it gives you confidence and I am trying to carry my confidence and play a winning role. Focus has been on building partnerships and to take the game deep.
Peshawar's fabulous run continues this season and they are riding sky-high on confidence! Another clinical win for them and they seem to have all bases covered even without Shoriful and Nahid. Quetta didn't have enough on the board and had a sedate powerplay, which came back to haunt them in the end. Mohammad Basit bowled with great venom while the spin attack comprising Sufiyan Muqeem and Iftikhar Ahmed has been a model of consistency--especially the former, who has looked almost unplayable. Ali Raza continues to impress across formats and levels and was very tidy at the death. The opening duo for Zalmi, Mohammad Haris and Babar Azam, provided a stable start, with Babar playing a complete knock; he's a master of chasing middling totals. A few contributions down the order ensured there were no surprises. Not much to speak about Quetta's bowlers, as none could rip through the lineup or create enough opportunities
END OF OVER:18 | 9 Runs | PZ: 149/2 (6 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 8.27, RRR: 3.00)
- Babar Azam67 (50b)
- Aaron Hardie15 (12b)
- Alzarri Joseph4-0-32-1
- Usman Tariq4-0-25-0
DaWolf: "Babar top scoring and also at a perfectly decent run rate. I assume Muqeem gets POTM but Babars good form has been instrumental to his teams 6 wins out of 6 after today. "
