0.1  Junaid Khan to Colin Ingram, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total.  (2) 
0.2  Junaid Khan to Colin Ingram, 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) 
0.3  Junaid Khan to Colin Ingram, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2) 
0.4  Junaid Khan to Colin Ingram, The batsman drops the ball at his feet and sets off for a quick single, but the bowler pounces on it, turns around, and knocks the stumps down in one quick effort to send him packing! Brilliant effort.

C. Ingram      run out           (Masood)

1.5  Sohail Tanvir to Babar Azam, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4)

2.3  Junaid Khan to Shahid Afridi, 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) 
2.4  Junaid Khan to Shahid Afridi, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two.  (2)

6.2  Imran Tahir to Lendl Simmons, Short ball, pulled away for four!  (4)

12.1  Faheem Ashraf to Fakhar Zaman, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
12.2  Faheem Ashraf to Brendon McCullum, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total.  (2) 
12.3  Faheem Ashraf to Brendon McCullum, Chipped down to long-off, easy single.  (1) 
12.4  Faheem Ashraf to Fakhar Zaman, Easy single.  (1) 
12.5  Faheem Ashraf to Brendon McCullum, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though.  (1) 
12.6  Faheem Ashraf to Fakhar Zaman, Text-book cover drive, four more.  (4)

13.1  Shadab Khan to Brendon McCullum, Uppercut over the slip fielders and away for four! Cheeky shot!  (4) 
13.2  Shadab Khan to Brendon McCullum, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1) 
13.3  Shadab Khan to Fakhar Zaman, 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) 
13.4  Shadab Khan to Fakhar Zaman, Tucked on the off side, two more to the total.  (2)

Needed just a little more stability in the lower order. It was in our hands, but Karachi bowlers bowled well...
 
Imran Khan JR must be really shit that he didn't even bowled a single over!
Anyways what a batting display by Fakhar & BMAC
 
Batting was just plain shit. Rashid will now be replaced.
 
That was bad. Bad.
 
Not that is what I call a great game of T20 cricket. A one-run win against such a strong opposition is a massive tick in the box. So nice to see our fortunes changing compared to the last couple of seasons.

Hasan Ali 5-fer ends Peshawar Zalmi's losing streak

Peshawar Zalmi registered their first win of the season, defeating the champions of the last season, Quetta Gladiators. Peshawar Zalmi opted to bat first after having won the toss. They scored 160/6 in their full 20.0 overs, with Tamim Iqbal's 77 off 54 rocket-launching them to a great start. The middle-order however, couldn't capitalise on that start, and Mohammad Hafeez's 39 was the only double-figure score for them in that innings from any non-opener. Anwar Ali and John Hastings of the Quetta Gladiators both picked 2 wickets apiece at a very decent economy.

Quetta Gladiators in their chase, fell 15 runs shy of the total. Courtesy of some amazing fast bowling from Hasan Ali who ripped their team apart, dismissing 4 out of the top-5 batsmen, and then dismissing Quetta Gladiators' finisher Mohammad Nawaz. Hasan Ali registered the first 5-wicket haul of the season to help his team register their first win of the season. This 5-fer couldn't have come at a better time.

Karachi Kings register 1-run narrow win over Multan Sultans

Two of the strongest teams on-paper, Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans went head-to-head in Match 11 of the season. Played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, this was by far, the most thrilling match of the season. In the end, Karachi Kings scored a narrow 1-run win. Karachi Kings batted first, and with contributions coming from most of their players, they saw themselves to a modest total of 167/6 in 20.0 overs. Ravi Bopara's 44-ball 48 top-scored for Karachi Kings, whereas for the Multan Sultans, Mohammad Irfan was the highlight with his figures of 1/16.

In response to that 168-run target, Multan Sultans were bowled out for 166. In the climactic sequence, two runs were required off two balls with the last pair standing. Mohammad Amir, who had already picked 3 wickets in the innings, bowled a fabulous delivery to bag the wicket, and give his team a 1-run win. He ended the innings with a 4-fer to his name. Kieron Pollard, who had scored 57 off just 35 balls was extremely dejected to fall short. And even though Mohammad Irfan and Imran Tahir, the last pair for Multan Sultans revolted in the end, it just wasn't enough.

Fakhar Zaman and Brendon McCullum make a mockery of Islamabad United's total

Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars played each other for the first time this season, and boy did the United fans wish they didn't have to. Islamabad United were put into bat by Lahore Qalandars, and to their credit, the did a remarkable job. With three 30s, a 20, and a few quick 10s, Islamabad United ended up with 171/8. Yasir Shah was the star of the innings with 2/8 in 2.0 overs. Mustafizur Rahman and Sunil Narine also bagged 2 scalps apiece.

Lahore Qalandars chased that target down, in the most brutal way possible. Making a mockery of it, making it look ridiculously easy. Fakhar Zaman stayed unbeaten on 84 which he scored off 41 balls, and Brendon McCullum stayed unbeaten on a 30-ball 51. Sunil Narine's 11-ball 32 also had a huge impact, but he was dismissed though. Lahore Qalandars scored a massive 7-wicket win, and consolidated the top-spot in the standings.

HIGHLIGHT REEL

:ban: Mustafizur Rahman 4/30 (3.4 / hat trick)
MATCH 8 - Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

In a collapse of epic proportions, Karachi Kings lost their last six wickets for thirteen runs. The last three of which fell to Mustafizur Rahman in three successive balls. This was only the second hat trick in the history of the tournament, and the first of the season. And since Mustafizur Rahman had already picked a wicket earlier, it became the first 4-wicket haul of the season.

:eng: Alex Hales 96 (54)
MATCH 9 - Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Playing against the Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United opted to bat first after having won the toss. Their opener, Alex Hales laid the foundation to a massive 199-run total. It was one of the most outrageous beginnings to an innings the league has ever seen. He hit 9 fours and 3 sixes, only to be dismissed 4 runs short of a hundred. He top-edged the ball and was caught quite comfortable, and even more unfortunate for him was the fact that his team lost despite his best efforts.

:pak: Hasan Ali 5/35 (4.0)
MATCH 10 - Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

During a match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators, Hasan Ali produced one of the finest spells of fast bowling this tournament has ever seen. Registering the first 5-wicket haul of the season, and ripping the middle-order out of the opposition, like their heart out of their chest, being extremely important in his team's first win of the season.

:pak: Mohammad Amir 4/39 (3.5)
MATCH 11 - Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Mohammad Amir dismissed most of the Multan Sultans' marquee batsmen, picking a 4-wicket haul and helping his team win a thrilling encounter. With 2 runs needed off 2 balls and the last pair at the crease, he produced a magical deliver which brought him his 4th wicket and saw his team over the line. He played a crucial part in his team's narrow 1-run win over their opposition.

:pak: Fakhar Zaman 84* (41)
MATCH 12 - Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Fakhar Zaman launched a riot against the Islamabad United bowlers whilst chasing a huge 171-run target. Hitting 6 fours and 5 sixes in his unbeaten 41-ball 84, he made a mockery of the total they were given to chase. Smashing all the bowlers around the park, securing an easy win in the end for his team.
