Shoaib Malik broke through the opening wicket partnership, dismissing Sami Aslam. Leading from the front, the Lahore captain has provided them a breather, but, Hashim Amla looks in destructive form. They need to get his wicket as soon as possible, or his innings could be the beginning of the end for Lahore.

Fawad Alam was dismissed shortly after he completed his fifty, it was a poor shot really. The innings however, along with his partnership with Hashim Amla has put Karachi in a formidable position. Lahore desperately needs wickets.

Big game, big name! What a hundred for Hashim Amla. He reaches his hundred in only 91 balls, and has formed the backbone of the innings. Guiding his team slowly towards a win. A big win. Let me just mention that Angelo Mathews didn't perform when it was needed the most out of him, and he has been in a brilliant form.

Brilliant captaincy from Shoaib Malik, the introduction of the spinners has really brought Karachi's run rate down. Hasn't effect Hashim Amla much as he hasn't been on the strike, but David Miller has been contained brilliantly by the Lahore spinners. The pitch is batter-friendly, but it's also spinner-friendly.

Hashim Amla reaches 150. Absolute game-changer, this man. David Miller on the other hand, has reached a fifty. Karachi have reached 300, and they still have 18 balls left. Can the mercenaries at the end blast them to a huge total?

Not a big finish to the innings, David Miller must be kicking himself for not having nailed a century in those 77 balls he played. I say this because he's a good enough player to do so, but the Lahore bowlers contained him brilliantly. They did everything in their power and made sure that David Miller doesn't decimate them completely, taking the match away from them.

Not a good day for the bowlers. But, was expected on this flat track. Karachi posted an imposing total. Lahore are going to have to bat extremely well to chase this down. They certainly have the firepower, but their opposition has the best bowling line-up. The fate of this match and tournament has come down between the best batting-line and the best bowling-line. Can Shoaib Malik's men pull it off for the second time in a row?

LAHORE NEEDS 321 RUNS TO WIN FROM 50.0 OVERS AT 6.42 RUNS PER OVER

@CerealKiller/@AliB @RUDI/@zwarrior
 
Well, i expected big scores, but Fahim and Asghar should've bowled better. I'm especially disappointed in Asghar, who failed miserably, even if there was a little help for spinners.
 
Ain't the bowlers' fault, we can chase this down seeing the flatness of the surface.
 
Suburb innings by Amla, well supported by Aslam and Miller... Time for Ali and Tahir to show why they are so dangerous in the shorter formats, I wouldn't be surprised if Khan gets the early breakthrough..
 
Only Lahore can chase down this mammoth target.Best of luck Rohit and Fakhar.
 
Our top three are strengths and in the final they played well again and the big man performed his best innings in the tournament. Good total. We could have reached 340 mark if Miller had fired. A lot depends on Hasan Ali and Tahir. Hopefully Raza and Junaid will give good support to them.

But I have a very bad feeling about this !

Shoaib Malik broke through the opening wicket partnership, dismissing Sami Aslam. Leading from the front, the Lahore captain has provided them a breather, but, Hashim Amla looks in destructive form. They need to get his wicket as soon as possible, or his innings could be the beginning of the end for Lahore.

Big game, big name! What a hundred for Hashim Amla. He reaches his hundred in only 91 balls, and has formed the backbone of the innings. Guiding his team slowly towards a win. A big win. Let me just mention that Angelo Mathews didn't perform when it was needed the most out of him, and he has been in a brilliant form.

Brilliant captaincy from Shoaib Malik, the introduction of the spinners has really brought Karachi's run rate down. Hasn't effect Hashim Amla much as he hasn't been on the strike, but David Miller has been contained brilliantly by the Lahore spinners. The pitch is batter-friendly, but it's also spinner-friendly.

Not a big finish to the innings, David Miller must be kicking himself for not having nailed a century in those 77 balls he played. I say this because he's a good enough player to do so, but the Lahore bowlers contained him brilliantly. They did everything in their power and made sure that David Miller doesn't decimate them completely, taking the match away from them.

Not a good day for the bowlers. But, was expected on this flat track. Karachi posted an imposing total. Lahore are going to have to bat extremely well to chase this down. They certainly have the firepower, but their opposition has the best bowling line-up. The fate of this match and tournament has come down between the best batting-line and the best bowling-line. Can Shoaib Malik's men pull it off for the second time in a row?

Fakhar Zaman, who had been the only positive for Lahore in this innings so far has fallen. He did do a fantastic job in stabilising the innings and adding a much needed 65-run partnership alongside Faf du Plessis to make up for the failures of the top-order. But, if the wickets keep falling at the same rate, Lahore will be done in no time.

Two big blows to Lahore in the space of no time! Hasan Ali and Imad Wasim have sure put the breaks to Lahore. The best bowlers of the side performing when it is needed the most out of them. Lahore needs a miracle to save them now. Karachi are in a very dominant position.

Fifty for Lahore's skipper. Fifty for Shoaib Malik. He has made a valuable contribution, alongside Jos Buttler, who also reached his fifty but was dismissed shortly after. Their 104-run partnership off just 76 balls has been the highlight of the innings so far. They've put Lahore back in the match, and have left Lahore with an asking rate of just 5.93. Lahore needs 89 runs to win from 90 balls with 5 wickets remaining.

Hasan Ali completes all of his overs, and he finishes off a bit uneconomical. However, he did have an impact, picking 2 important wickets. Faheem Ashraf and Shoaib Malik are at the crease, and Shoaib Malik looks to be commanding the situation. Batting on 71, he is leading his team towards victory. And Faheem Ashraf, who is the most dangerous lower-order hitter in Pakistan, can completely end this match in one over.

That's the win! The big win for Lahore! They lift the Haier Cup Pakistan for the second time in a row, what a performance, and what a comeback. Shoaib Malik rebuilt the innings alongside Jos Buttler after a terrible top-order failure, and then, Faheem Ashraf finished the job. I wonder how different the result would've been if Hasan Ali and Junaid Khan hadn't bowled out their overs so early in the innings. Nonetheless, Lahore are the champions.

WOW! What a comeback! Not only in this match, but in the tournament as a whole, after losing the first two matches. Hussain Talat's inclusion in Sharma's place really worked well, along with Boult and Yamin's. The drastic changes worked, even if i had to leave a player like Buttler on the bench. But the most important thing is that he showed his true class in this match. Fahim is phenomenal. He can become world class. Smith and Faf already are. Fakhar once again showed his talent. I'd like to commend Nawaz for coming off the bench in such an important game and being the best bowler from both sides. And words are not enough for the ageless wonder that is Shoaib Malik. Also well done to Mohammad Hasan, Mohammad Asghar and Yuzvendra Chahal for some decent performances.


"It's an honour for me to win this prestigious trophy as captain. I'd like to thank all the other teams, and especially the HCP Chairman @Na Maloom Afraad " Shoaib Malik

"It has been a great experience playing in this tournament. This team and the whole of Pakistan is full of talent. I would love to return next year. For now i'll enjoy this victory with the rest of the team." Steve Smith

"Congrats to @RUDI and @zwarrior for reaching the final. Their team played well, and gave us a close match, and i'm sure the fans enjoyed it. I'd also like to thank all the other team owners and the HCP Chairman." Talha Hayat, CEO of Lahore

I told you, didn't I? We are the champions! Though the top-order failed, the middle and lower order stepped especially young Fahim, a fantastic season and a fantastic co to be, it's all CK's hard work, I was just saying yes. Hard luck @RUDI @zwarrior it was a close one, thanks NMA for a glorious season. :)
 
First of all, thanks to @Na Maloom Afraad for managing this league perfectly without any issues. It was presented nicely. I enjoyed a lot as always in your league.

@RUDI Thanks for accepting me as co, as always you are just a great guy to work with. Match was close, but we made a bad call by selecting Imad Wasim, I knew he was expensive in previous matches. I take the blame for that. Should have gone for the other AR. Tahir's last over was unbelievable. But happens in a cricket match. He was great throughout the season, and can't blame him for this one over. Anyway glad we reached finals and more than winning, entertainment matters and it was amazing.

@AliB and @CerealKiller Congrats guys. You deserved the victory, the way your team played throughout the league. Hope we gave a good fight.
