Unchanged for Peshawar Region.

Head, Miller and Starc were subdued quite a bit in the first leg by Dambulla, really hope they break free from their shackles and performer like they're meant to, because relying on an all-Pakistani batting lineup to get the job done every single time is quite risky, so we desperately need our overseas trio to pull through big.
 
Same team but Rathnayake bats above Mendis, at 4
Been a very impressive run so far, if we lose the semifinals on 2 turners we only have ourselves to blame tbh
 
Batting needs to comes good as we are light on it, Changing batting order if it may helps.

Bumrah and Tillakaratne struck to make it an even session of gameplay for both sides.

David Miller's unbeaten half-century puts Peshawar into a decent position,

Dambulla need 249 runs in 45.0 overs or less to overtake Peshawar's net run-rate.
Are we heading towards an exhilarating finish?

Peshawar are in grave danger now!

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Kamindu Mendis have turned this fixture into their favour.
Gurbaz was also run-out like Hope but not without reaching his milestone.
Peshawar have fielded exceedingly well and taken their few chances.


Dambulla need 25 runs in 30 balls or less

Code:
40.1  Ahmed to Mendis, one run, That is very well run by Sonal Dinusha   
40.2  Ahmed to Dinusha, one run, The misfield by Haris allows yet another run
40.3  Ahmed to Mendis, no ball, no run, Kamindu Mendis missed that one by a mile
40.3  Ahmed to Mendis, no run, Kamindu Mendis missed that one by a mile
40.4  Ahmed to Mendis, one run, The misfield by Ahmed allows yet another run

Iftikhar Ahmed appealed but it was going down leg.
Dambulla will take these quick singles any day.

Twist in the tale?!

Sonal Dinusha perished trying to slog-sweep for a boundary off the first ball of the over.
Then, Ashan Priyanjan couldn't score and got run-out by Travis Head.
An ideal over for Peshawar and Dambulla need Kamindu to get few boundaries ASAP!

Dambulla are getting undone by magnificent bowling of Peshawar at the backend.

Fifty for Kamindu Mendis but now is not the time to celebrate.

He's leaving it too close to the end. Need to find those boundaries.
Hasaranga takes strike for the next over and its Sajid Khan who will bowl!

Sajid Khan has done it!

Dambulla win the battle but Peshawar win the war!!!

Similar to the first leg, the first innings was around the 250 mark. This time Peshawar batted first.
Sahibzada Farhan struck 87 while Miller made an unbeaten fifty.
Duvindu Tillakaratne bowled well and got 3 important scalps.
Wanindu Hasaranga picked all of the last 5 wickets and ended with a 6-fer.

Dambulla openers showed their class and got their team a great start.
Gill could not convert his start but Rahmanullah Gurbaz made a century to remember.
Next good partnership came between Gurbaz and Kamindu Mendis and it looked like Dambulla were all set for the finals spot.

Instead, we saw Peshawar producing outstanding moments in the field and Dambulla choking towards the end.
Kamindu Mendis continously gave strike to the lower-order batters and they just couldn't measure up to the bowling excellency of the away side.
Dambulla did complete the run chase but this victory felt like a huge loss.

Damn, I really thought we had the team to go all the way but fair play to Peshawar

im sure they could have done it if there was a way for the match engine to be informed of the 45 over cutoff
Yeah the sim always tends to kinda drag out these cases in my experience; anyway can't blame anyone but ourselves, this was always a scenario once we lost the first leg

Really happy with the overall performance though, lost just one game in the entire tournament and some last minute backups like Haris Rauf and Gurbaz were amongst the best
 
LESSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I was so sure we were bottling man, I ain't gonna lie. After seeing them get the start they got, I thought it was all over for us. Happy to be in the final but that defeat does outline some of the areas we're really lacking in, particularly from our overseas trio. Miller, Head and Starc need to get their shit together for the final, or we're plain toast.
