Most of the batting order of Lahore Qalandars contributed equally and took their team to 183 in the 20.0 overs. Sunil Narine and Fakhar Zaman lent them a perfect start which was brilliantly capitalised on by the skipper, Brendon McCullum and Umar Akmal during the middle overs. Lahore Qalandars would've probably ended with a lot more if it weren't for Hasan Khan's 3-wicket 18th over.

1.1  Mustafizur Rahman to Rilee Rossouw, Full delivery outside off-stump, the batsman clears his left leg and swings, and top edges it high into the air. It's an easy catch in the end, and hopefully the batsman has learnt why you shouldn't slog across the line!

Despite Quetta Gladiators' steady approach in the middle overs, and a late resurgence through Asad Shafiq towards the end, they fell a convincing margin short of the final target. The 183-run target proved too much for the Quetta Gladiators who failed to establish communication within themselves, causing four run outs, and stumbled to 153/7 in the end.

Code:
Lahore Qalandars    183/8 in 20.0 overs. 
Quetta Gladiators   153/7 in 20.0 overs. 

Lahore Qalandars won by 30 runs

Ahmed Shehzad and Sohaib Maqsood's efforts go to vain as the 205-run target happens to be fairly enough for Islamabad United. They win, courtesy of some tight and tidy bowling from their bowlers that did a fantastic job in restricting the Multan Sultans.

Code:
Islamabad United   204/5 in 20.0 overs. 
Multan Sultans     156/5 in 20.0 overs.

13.4  Hasan Mohsin to Mohammad Hafeez, 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)

Karachi Kings win! They snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! What a stellar performance, defending 148 by just 6 runs. Peshawar Zalmi were out of the game very early in the innings, being 6 down for 41, but Mohammad Hafeez and Darren Sammy did rebuild their innings. At one point it looked like they were going to register a comprehensive victory, Karachi Kings found a breakthrough and they capitalised on it to the fullest extent.

Code:
Karachi Kings    148/10 in 18.1 overs. 
Peshawar Zalmi   142/10 in 17.2 overs. 

Karachi Kings won by 6 runs

Man of the match: Mohammad Amir (Karachi Kings)

Junaid Khan (Our lead bowler injured) and straightaway we conceded tournament's first 200 :facepalm
