OUT!!! He's gone for a duck! Shahab Khan has turned the tide of this match within three deliveries! Heinrich Klaasen fell to a not-so-convincing lbw, and for Peshawar and Shahab Khan, that may have been success enough, but Shahab one upped himself and got rid of Khushdil Shah for a two-ball duck, further pushing KPK to the back foot!

Peshawar pull things back immensely to keep Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at bay to a subpar total, despite a stalwart knock from Daryl Mitchell and a Fakhar Zaman blitz up top. Atizaz Habib Khan played one of the more underappreciated knocks, adding runs alongside the tail to take Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's total into respectable territory.

Shahab Khan was by far the biggest revelation for Peshawar, claiming three important scalps during Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's middle overs to bring their momentum to a screeching halt. He also removed Daryl Mitchell just as he was closing in on a well-deserved hundred, right as he was looking to let loose and truly explode.


Target: Peshawar needs 286 runs to win


Terrible, terrible news coming from the center. Rain has arrived and it does not look pleasant in the slightest. It was forecasted to rain throughout the day, but luckily it hadn't arrived yet. Now however, it looks as though it won't stop for the remainder of the game time. Very likely that Peshawar's run-chase will take place on the reserve day.


Remainder of the Pepsi Cup Final postponed to reserve day due to heavy rainfall.


@mohsin7827 @Aravind.
 
Those two consecutive wickets changed the course of the ining, after an early wicket we did well until that point and after that played a little conservative but responsibly to save our face.
Credit to Peshawar bowlers in particular Shahab Khan who did not lets us to finish where we would have like it.

Hope the bowlers to give what is needed and their best.

OUT!!! He's gone for a duck! Shahab Khan has turned the tide of this match within three deliveries! Heinrich Klaasen fell to a not-so-convincing lbw, and for Peshawar and Shahab Khan, that may have been success enough, but Shahab one upped himself and got rid of Khushdil Shah for a two-ball duck, further pushing KPK to the back foot!

...that brings up the fifty between these two. They've done incredibly well to weather the storm and stabilize KPK's innings after that one-two combo from Shahab Khan brought them down to their knees.

Peshawar pull things back immensely to keep Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at bay to a subpar total, despite a stalwart knock from Daryl Mitchell and a Fakhar Zaman blitz up top. Atizaz Habib Khan played one of the more underappreciated knocks, adding runs alongside the tail to take Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's total into respectable territory.

Shahab Khan was by far the biggest revelation for Peshawar, claiming three important scalps during Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's middle overs to bring their momentum to a screeching halt. He also removed Daryl Mitchell just as he was closing in on a well-deserved hundred, right as he was looking to let loose and truly explode.


Target: Peshawar needs 286 runs to win

GONE! Shreyas Iyer is given out! Big wicket! That's a massive wicket! Just as things started looking onwards and upwards for Peshawar, Naseem Shah strikes to remove the well-settled Shreyas Iyer and shakes their momentum! Massive wicket at just the right time for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but Peshawar are still in a commanding position.

Three boundaries in Mohammad Wasim Jr's final over as Fakhar Zaman's bid to find a much-needed breakthrough by bringing on his best-performing bowler fails to find any chinks in either men's armours. Peshawar are only 70 runs away from the becoming the inaugural Pepsi Cup winners as a dejected crowd falls lull in Abbottabad.

...Naseem Shah goes up... Fakhar Zaman goes up... all of Abbottabad goes up... and so does the umpire's finger! Rizwan has fallen and there is still life in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa! There is still hope for the home team! Naseem Shah has brought KPK back from the dead with just one wicket, but it is the big wicket of Mohammad Rizwan.

Peshawar needs 70 runs to win from 100 deliveries (with 5 wickets remaining)​

Code:

      Naseem Shah takes his fifth wicket of the innings

RIGHT THROUGH HIM!!! Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't have a clue! Naseem Shah has turned the game on its head! Naseem Shah has conjured up magic and completely derailed Peshawar's run-chase with a one-two blow unlike any other. These final 70 runs look much harder to get than they did when Rizwan was still out there.

...gone... surely... out! Naseem Shah gets his sixth of the game in his final over, and this may very well be the killshot! All these dots built up immense pressure, and they have manifested the wicket of Pat Cummins, the last batsman Peshawar could rely on from their tail.

OUT!!! SURELY!!! OUT!!! GIVEN!!! Iftikhar Ahmed departs! And with him, so do the dreams of all of Peshawar! Anrich Nortje's pace was far too much for Iftikhar Ahmed to handle, who walks back following a faint nick to Heinrich Klaasen as Peshawar lose their last recognized batsman, and realistically, the final of the inaugural Pepsi Cup.

40.1  K Shah to Shinwari, wide, Khushdil Shah bowling a very wayward one
40.1  K Shah to Shinwari, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
40.2  K Shah to Shinwari, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Heinrich Klaasen    
40.3  K Shah to Shinwari, no run, Left alone by Usman Khan Shinwari
40.4  K Shah to Shinwari, three runs, Great work by N Shah saved a certain boundary
40.5  K Shah to A Afridi, no run, Abbas Afridi was completely deceived 
40.6  K Shah to A Afridi, no run, Left alone by Abbas Afridi

41.1  Nortje to Shinwari, legbye, Usman Khan Shinwari missed that one by a mile
41.2  Nortje to A Afridi, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW

Gutting loss for Mohammad Rizwan's Peshawar, who had this game in the palm of their hands until Naseem Shah's double-wicket over. They bowled wonderfully to keep the home team at bay to a subpar total, and their batsmen were cruising along until tragedy struck, and the game turned on its head in the blink of an eye.

Naseem Shah was overshadowed by his own teammate Mohammad Wasim Jr. throughout the tournament, but who knew he was saving his best for last, as the wonderkid from Mayar delivered a career-best bowling performance to give Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a remarkable come-from-behind victory in the final of the Pepsi Cup.
