8.2  Shadab Khan to Shahid Afridi, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total.  (2) 
8.3  Shadab Khan to Shahid Afridi, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark.  (0)

9.4  Amad Butt to Shahid Afridi, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4)

Eoin Morgan and Shahid Afridi were the saving grace for the Karachi Kings, apart from them, Ravi Bopara was the only one to get into double figures, and he had a strike rate of 80.0. That should tell you all you need to know about this innings. Eoin Morgan and Shahid Afridi carried the team on their back, with Eoin Morgan scoring a 48-ball 76 and Shahid Afridi missing out on his fifty by just one run.​

Islamabad United win! A last ball six from Shadab Khan seals the deal! Mohammad Amir, given 10 runs to defend in the final over, failed on the final ball as he conceded a six. Islamabad United pull off an amazing win to secure their place in the first play-off. Misbah-Ul-Haq and Sam Billings also had a big impact on the game, but more so did JP Duminy. He bashed Tabish Khan for 26 runs in one over, after which, Tabish Khan was never given the ball again. He was caught on the last ball, but it was too little too late.​

Karachi Kings      174/9 in 20.0 overs. 
Islamabad United   175/6 in 20.0 overs. 

Islamabad United won by 4 wickets

Man of the match: Sam Billings (Islamabad United)

[Ahmad94]

I'll go unchanged. Massively disappointed to lose on the last ball of the game. Really needed that win to guarantee a top 3 position.

Let's hope this game goes better. Can't afford any mistakes.

0.1  Shane Watson to Alex Hales, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
0.2  Shane Watson to Alex Hales, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4) 
0.3  Shane Watson to Alex Hales, Oooh, he's not going to be a happy man after that dismissal. His partner called him through for a suicidal single there! If I were him I'd stay far, far away...

1.3  Mir Hamza to Sahibzada Farhan, Short ball, worked off the hips for a single  (1) 
1.4  Mir Hamza to JP Duminy, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2)

5.3  Mir Hamza to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close.  (0)

Islamabad United's decision to bat first was proven right as they piled up a big total, with only two of their batsmen firing up. Misbah-Ul-Haq's innings had great significance as without him, Islamabad United would've clearly crumbled.​

16.5  Shadab Khan to Mohammad Nawaz, EDGED AND TAKE...DROPPED! The keeper drops it! A simple chance and he fluffs it! Single.  (1) 
16.6  Shadab Khan to Sarfraz Ahmed, Oh my, he has absolutely hammered that down the ground! That'll be one of the flattest sixes you'll ever see!   (6)

17.1  Mohammad Sami to Mohammad Nawaz, Short ball, cut away for a run.  (1) 
17.2  Mohammad Sami to Sarfraz Ahmed, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1) 
17.3  Mohammad Sami to Mohammad Nawaz, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run.  (0) 
17.4  Mohammad Sami to Mohammad Nawaz, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot.  (2) 
17.5  Mohammad Sami to Mohammad Nawaz, Gosh, how unlucky can you be. He's absolutely nailed that, but straight to the fielder. No run.  (0) 
17.6  Mohammad Sami to Mohammad Nawaz, 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)

18.1  Andre Russell to Sarfraz Ahmed, Short ball, pulled away for four!  (4) 
18.2  Andre Russell to Sarfraz Ahmed, 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) 
18.3  Andre Russell to Mohammad Nawaz, The batsman goes for the big heave-ho, and connects fantastically! Six!  (6) 
18.4  Andre Russell to Mohammad Nawaz, That's smashed hard into the crowd, its six!  (6) 
18.5  Andre Russell to Mohammad Nawaz, Good running, two runs.  (2) 
18.6  Andre Russell to Mohammad Nawaz, That is poor running, chance of a run out, and he's gone!

19.1  Rumman Raees to Sarfraz Ahmed, They run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
19.2  Rumman Raees to Anwar Ali, Great stop! Saved a run there he did!  (3) 
19.3  Rumman Raees to Sarfraz Ahmed, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more!  (6) 
19.4  Rumman Raees to Sarfraz Ahmed, Very well bowled.  (0) 
19.5  Rumman Raees to Sarfraz Ahmed, Reverse sweep, and it's four! What an outrageous shot! The batsman is all smiles after pulling that one off!  (6)

Sarfraz Ahmed, You beauty! The captain wins it for the Quetta Gladiators. He plays a match-winning knock, only second to Shane Watson in amount of runs scored, but slightly more significant as his batting in the final overs and his two sixes to win the game with 16 runs required off the last over saw his team home, and into the final.​

Islamabad United    181/9 in 20.0 overs. 
Quetta Gladiators   184/6 in 19.5 overs. 

Quetta Gladiators won by 4 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)

Man of the match: Sarfraz Ahmed (Quetta Gladiators)

Sarfraz was just epic.

We lost just because of Sarfraz. Well played. We'll meet you in the final, hopefully
