19.1  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, Perfect yorker on the leg stump.  (0) 
19.2  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, 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) 
19.3  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0) 
19.4  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
19.5  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that.  (0) 
19.6  Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, Buffet bowling, the batsman helps himself to four more.  (4)

0.3  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, 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) 
0.4  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, Very well bowled.  (0) 
0.5  Junaid Khan to Ahmed Shehzad, 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)

A great finish to the innings. Rilee Rossouw with a calm and steady hand, playing a needful innings to make sure their isn't some sort of hilariously horrible collapse for the Quetta Gladiators. Though, He walks off the pitch, knowing He could've done more. 182 will be a tough ask for Peshawar Zalmi, but with the batting line they have, it's game on!

...13 balls later, Darren Sammy's out... Commentator's curse? Peshawar Zalmi need an inspirational knock, possibly from the big guy, Shahid Afridi. They'll get home if so.
Code:
15.2  Nathan McCullum to Shahid Afridi, One more to the total.  (1) 
15.3  Nathan McCullum to Shakib Al Hasan, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
15.4  Nathan McCullum to Shakib Al Hasan, 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) 
15.5  Nathan McCullum to Shakib Al Hasan, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
15.6  Nathan McCullum to Shakib Al Hasan, Played to deep cover. Two runs.  (2)

16.1  Hasan Khan to Shahid Afridi, Lovely late cut through the vacant third man region. Four more.  (4) 
16.2  Hasan Khan to Shahid Afridi, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
16.3  Hasan Khan to Shahid Afridi, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! The fielder dives to his right, and snaffles the catch! Gone!

16.4  Hasan Khan to Hasan Ali, Down the track, and BOOM! Six Runs! Great batting!  (6) 
16.5  Hasan Khan to Hasan Ali, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though.  (1) 
16.6  Hasan Khan to Shakib Al Hasan, Neat little late cut, beats the slip and short third man. The batsmen get two.  (2)

Shahid Afridi throws his wicket away! And, at what a crucial stage. He should not have done that. Really shouldn't have. A swing, and a missed opportunity for Peshawar Zalmi. 39 needed off the last 18 balls. It's anyone's game, still.
Code:
17.1  Umar Amin to Hasan Ali, Ah that's a rubbish ball, and the batsman wastes no time in putting the trash away. Six!  (6) 
17.2  Umar Amin to Hasan Ali, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1) 
17.3  Umar Amin to Shakib Al Hasan, Good running, two runs.  (2) 
17.4  Umar Amin to Shakib Al Hasan, Beaten by the movement in the air, and rapped dead in front. Excellent bowling.

Runs : 46       Balls : 41         S/R : 112.2

17.5  Umar Amin to Junaid Khan, Delicate little late cut, well placed. Quick single taken.  (1) 
17.6  Umar Amin to Hasan Ali, Drilled away through midwicket for four, that shot had some power behind it!  (4)

With Shakib Al Hasan dismissed, and two tailenders, Junaid Khan and Hasan Ali at the crease. It has become really difficult for Peshawar Zalmi. They need 24 from 12, they need big shots.
Code:
18.1  Luke Wright to Junaid Khan, 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) 
18.2  Luke Wright to Junaid Khan, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there!  (4) 
18.3  Luke Wright to Junaid Khan, Ooo, cleaned him up!

Runs : 7       Balls : 4         S/R : 175

18.4  Luke Wright to Imran Khan Jr., That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
18.5  Luke Wright to Imran Khan Jr., Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one  (1) 
18.6  Luke Wright to Hasan Ali, Very well bowled.  (0)

What a yorker from Luke Wright! He has cleaned Junaid Khan. 17 needed off the last over. Can a miracle save Peshawar Zalmi?
Code:
19.1  Anwar Ali to Imran Khan Jr., Very well bowled.  (0) 
19.2  Anwar Ali to Imran Khan Jr., No Ball. That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2) 
19.2  Anwar Ali to Imran Khan Jr., Tucked on the off side, two more to the total.  (2) 
19.3  Anwar Ali to Imran Khan Jr., Clipped off the legs, the batsmen get two.  (2) 
19.4  Anwar Ali to Imran Khan Jr., Short ball, cut away for a run.  (1) 
19.5  Anwar Ali to Hasan Ali, That was a running effort that would make Owais Shah proud. And that isn't a good thing.
