- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 Around the wicket, looped up on a length on middle, clears front leg and carts it away to deep midwicket, reverse-cupped and taken comfortably in the deep 121/31.3 Looped up and outside off, gets on the front foot and chips it in the air but hasn't got all of it, gobbled by the fielder at long-off 11/17.2 Wrecks his stumps! Extra bit of aggression and adventure costs him his wicket! Khushdil strikes and gets the big fish! Back of a length and straightens a touch, he exposes his stumps in a bid to whack it over cover and the ball rattles 77/213.2 Around the wicket, bowls an absolute beauty and deceives him in flight, fraction short and turns away from middle, he tries to maneuver it leg-side and plays down the wrong line, stumped and has to go after a terrific and impactful knock 135/415.4 Cries of catch it and taken in the deep! Bit slower and shorter on middle, plants his front leg and went for a lusty swing over midwicket but ends up miscuing it and taken in the deep at wide of long-on, timely breakthrough for Karachi. All wickets taken by spinners 154/518.2 Googly spinning across off, he clears front leg and goes for a full-blooded pull but hasn't got all of it, Reeza Hendricks takes a stunner on the rope at deep midwicket, caught it, went outside the rope and then got back into the field to compelte the catch! Long time since I saw this kind of a stellar effort in T20 cricket. Brilliant presence of mind and exceptional fielding skills on show 174/7Extras8 (nb 3, w 5)TOTAL207/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Steven Smith, 1.3 ov), 2-77 (Josh Philippe, 7.2 ov), 3-121 (Awais Zafar, 12.1 ov), 4-135 (Shan Masood, 13.2 ov), 5-154 (Ashton Turner, 15.4 ov), 6-174 (Arafat Minhas, 17.6 ov), 7-174 (Mohammad Nawaz, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 Over the wicket, steep bounce from a shorter length and hurries him into a hook, hits him near the handle and sits up nciely for Imran at short fine as he completes a regulation catch. A brilliant start and he must be crestfallen to not make full use of it, played some lovely shots in his cameo 47/32.2 Floated up on a length and it drifts back sharply, slow delivery that cut back into him, he wanted to continue with his momentum and tried to cut, edges it and it was perhaps too close to cut; keeper takes a sharp catch 29/14.1 Around the wicket, bowls an absolute gem, length and drift in as he advances for a slog sweep and doesn't get behind the line. Salman's torried run in the PSL continue. Teasing flight and got enough movement to create a gap, not quite on top of the ball and a little premeditated 41/212.5 Full-bunger dipping onto the pads and he hits it leisurely in the air and is taken at deep square. A soft dismissal, will admonish himself for losing his wicket in this fashion. Could have put this rank full-toss anywhere. Big turning point in the game because he could have taken the game deep and was indispensable for Karachi's cause 114/414.1 Around the wicket, length on middle, pounds it downtown and hasn't got all of it, some toe-end invovled and Imran pouches it well in the end at long-off, another big wicket at a wrong time, wheels are coming off. Massive dagger in KK's heart 129/515.6 Pushed wide across off and he has to fetch it, out of his hitting arc but he goes for the big shot and miscued it to Wasim at long-off! Smartly bowled and another vital scalp! Took off his shoe and gestures calling someone, following Shamsi's celebration 151/618.1 Pace-off back of a length ball just outside off, wanted to hoick it out of sight but pulls it straight to Wasim who takes a spectacular running catch from long-off! Another big game-changing moment as Siddle brings his vast experience to the fore and removes the danger man 185/816.4 Oh, he is very tight with his lines, bit short and zipped back quickly, skidding on and hitting him on the pad as he went back in the crease, pinned in front, no confusion whatsoever 160/719.4 Bowling full with steam and venom, flicked out to deep midwicket, trying to scamper back for the second and is well short of his crease, bails whipped off quickly and Hassan giving his all but it's still not enough to get over the line. Multan edge out Karachi in the end but it was quite an exhilarating affair that went into the last over 196/1018.5 Fraction short and wide of off, down on one knee and slugs it away to midwicket and Hassan wanted a couple but the throw was right on target and by then Zampa was already halfway down the track responding to his call, no way he could get back from there and was stranded midway accepting the inevitable fate 190/9Extras19 (lb 8, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL196 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.96)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Jason Roy, 2.2 ov), 2-41 (Salman Agha, 4.1 ov), 3-47 (Saad Baig, 5.1 ov), 4-114 (Reeza Hendricks, 12.5 ov), 5-129 (Moeen Ali, 14.1 ov), 6-151 (Khushdil Shah, 15.6 ov), 7-160 (Shahid Aziz, 16.4 ov), 8-185 (Abbas Afridi, 18.1 ov), 9-190 (Adam Zampa, 18.5 ov), 10-196 (Hasan Ali, 19.4 ov)
