00:30Yes, hello and welcome wherever you might be once again to the Garden City Lahore
00:52as this top-of-the-table clash between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United awaits to unfold.
01:00As far as the Gladiators are concerned, their fast bowlers have done a magnificent job
01:07for them of late, Fahim Ashraf with five for 33, Mohamed Wasim Jr. in the wickets as well
01:14as Kuram Shahzad, they are looking like the team to beat.
01:18Jason Holder, will he reappear in the Islamabad side after they have made as many as nine
01:23changes in the two losses that have led up to this game?
01:28The Quetta Gladiators hot on their heels on nine points, the winner of this contest will
01:34top the standings at the end of tonight and I can guarantee you, almost guarantee you that
01:40there will be no rain to spoil this one.
01:42Islamabad United having won five from seven.
01:45Quetta Gladiators with four from seven.
01:48Karachi Kings are nestled in there nicely in fourth position.
01:52Remember, it is the top four teams that qualify for the playoffs.
01:56Toss was won by Sword Shaquille and he decided to unleash his fast bowlers on this dry, cracked-looking surface.
02:06They will bowl first.
02:08Islamabad United, well, I mentioned that they had made nine changes in the two previous losses.
02:13They've made six changes this evening.
02:15So you've got Andre Ghos is back in for Azzam Khan.
02:19Holder in for Dworshius.
02:20Mohamed Nawaz in for Massoud.
02:23Haider Ali in.
02:24Moshezad in.
02:25Salman Irshad in.
02:26Riley Meredith and Imad Wazim sit this one out.
02:30I've got Waka Yunus alongside with me.
02:32Kawetta have also decided to make a couple of changes.
02:35Yeah, they have made a couple of changes, but they've been pretty consistent with their side.
02:39The two changes they've made, they've brought in Jameson and Hasibullah for Koshal Mendes and Mohamed Zeeshan.
02:48So very balanced side on the high, on the up.
02:52Yeah, Carl Jameson makes his first appearance back in the 11th.
03:00Okay, we're just about ready to go.
03:12A couple of minutes late, but what's a couple of minutes between friends?
03:15Jameson to Faha.
03:16Nice punch down the ground.
03:23Riley Rousseau into the action straight away.
03:28He's been a live wire in the field.
03:35There it is.
03:37We knew it up here, and Faha was expecting it out there.
03:40The first maximum of the evening, eight without loss.
03:44And if you're going to bowl a short ball and you've not got the pace of 140s, you've got
03:49to get it at the head.
03:51It's got to be straight at the head with the fielder back, or if not, you're just going
03:56to get punished over deep mid-wicket.
03:58It's not a big boundary, 72 meters, that.
04:01Another in-swinger, and he just manages to get enough of it over mid-off.
04:06Taken a bit of a risk.
04:08Didn't come right out of the middle of the back, but it's boundary none of the less.
04:13And mid-wicket is where he goes.
04:17He's just sweating on the ball, being just short enough that he can play that sort of
04:22half-pull shot.
04:24Oh, got the front leg out of the way.
04:30And that is a beauty.
04:33What a strike from Fahaan.
04:38Gives himself a bit of room.
04:39That area is vacant.
04:41Meijer's starting to step on the gas, 34 without loss from Fort.
04:45Oh, a big swing.
04:51Has that gone all the way?
04:53No.
04:54Just the one bounce.
04:56Oh, he's got that up and over.
05:01That's well played.
05:02That's using the pace and bounce on this Lahore surface.
05:05And now Wazeem Jr. has one or two things to think about.
05:10Oh, have another go.
05:14And that's gone for six as well.
05:17Slightly more of a top edge this time, but it doesn't matter.
05:20Nobody down there and it goes all the way.
05:22Brings up the 50 as well.
05:25He's picked that one up.
05:29He's dropped it short Abraar.
05:31And he'll want to look away because Kyle Meijer really, really packs a punch.
05:36His first six of the night.
05:39Baller.
05:42Yeah, he's cleaned him up.
05:45He's got that look in his eyes as well Abraar.
05:49Yeah.
05:51At times as a batter, you have to show some respect.
05:55To Abola.
05:56He already picked up a six.
05:59But good contribution.
06:01It's 58 for one.
06:04Fahim Asho with the ball.
06:07This is really good.
06:10Really good.
06:11Really good from Colin Munro because he's just opened the bad face.
06:16Ball marginally wide and he's timed it away for four.
06:20That's gone, is it?
06:21That is gone.
06:22A nick through to the keeper.
06:23And the change of bowling brings the wicket.
06:24They've lost two now Islamabad United.
06:25We're witnessing reverse swing.
06:26Look at the ball going.
06:28Stayed too much inside the line of that delivery.
06:30Hence an outside edge.
06:31And nicely held.
06:32Actually nestled by the wicket keeper.
06:33It's 70 for two.
06:34Up in the air.
06:35Now this will be the third.
06:36It is the third.
06:37Easy catch for Mark Chapman.
06:38Now quite a gladiators are hunting.
06:39Now, there is a good one running.
06:40And 2nd wide.
06:41And 2nd wide.
06:42Oh, yeah.
06:43It's definitely a good one.
06:44The lead to the performance.
06:45It's like the lead.
06:46And it's a good one.
06:47And reallyγγ, it's incredible.
06:48The lead may not be the most popular.
06:50But it's still a good one.
06:51You're just not only a good one.
06:53That's not an understanding.
06:54But it's a good one.
06:55up in the air now this will be the third it is the third
07:01easy catch for mark chapman a quetta gladiators are hunting
07:08and second one in the first over of faheem ashraf is on fire an ice peeled on the ball held it

07:30that's nice that is very nice very good looking and elegant stroke
07:39oh yes skipper celebrates hadn't seen a big shot in a while and it's timber big wicked fork where

08:46powered and taken
08:49what a catch for himself sakil

09:49what a hit he is playing a gem of an inning
09:57oh how's that for a hit probably the longest of the night

10:48well that'll help their confidence
10:51that will surely give them a boost mighty jason holder with a strong hit down the ground
10:56he might be going again to the left of riley russo oh wow that has rocketed off the bat of jason holder
11:07long on mid-wicket deep backward square
11:15it doesn't matter where you put them it doesn't matter because the way mormon davas is striking
11:20the ball it is brilliant to watch he's got five of them tonight
11:28oh brilliant this is really smart really effective from mormon
11:33mormon davas
11:38has taken
11:41also quietly also calmly gets the glove on the way to the keeper
11:45and mormon davas maya might have just given them enough
11:49how good was that grab oh he had to really stretch high
11:57to grab that but magnificent knock comes to an end nawas gone for 49 is 156 for eight
12:04great
12:09great finish very very good finish and a run out good over
12:15from jameson only 11 and and i'm sure
12:17naseem shah was short on that and uh 20 overs gone 157 for eight this is a target which can be very very
12:31teasing loss 30 balls 58 runs that is magnificent from islamabad
12:42runs up the order 59 the partnership between farhan and maiz they got runs
12:47and it was until muhammad davas came to
12:50save them out 49 of 34 holder with runs header with runs at the end
12:57which means at the end of 20 overs islamabad united have set them a target of 158
13:04talking of the ballers jameson played after a while uh leaked a few runs but balled quite a few dot
13:11deliveries 35 for one one wicket for khurram four wickets for fame shah
13:17and that target is 158 match set up quite nicely can they make it four on a trot so chucky land the
13:25quetta gladiators
13:26third man or deep backward point and deep backward square the two fielders outside the circle
13:37a little bit of bounce ball perhaps not coming on to the back
13:41thumped absolutely thumped over mid wicket give him any chance to swing those big arms
13:53and that's going to find the boundary as well mid wicket was square and it was in the air for a little while
14:04hence the hands-on head from nasim but that's uh another fine stroke from finn allen
14:08well that's out of the middle of the bat and out of the ground
14:14mohammed amir likes it so do they
14:23soldier kill goes over short fine leg and already they are ahead of the game
14:29got him this time shahzad at backward point makes no mistake irshad gets his man
14:40and could that be the spark that is lamabad united are looking for
14:44gave himself a little bit of room maybe a little bit too much and didn't have a solid base
14:48and that's a really smart catch at backward point he can't believe his luck and quitter lose their first
14:54wicket 28 for one after three
15:00but he might not be at the other end he's gone he's got him
15:04jason holder with the go-go gadget arms takes the catch running away at mid on and now now is
15:12lamabad united are starting to believe
15:14that's very low on the bat jason holder possibly the only man on the field with arms long enough to
15:20get that has taken a really really smart catch
15:23quitter lose their second wicket and is now 28 for two after 3.3
15:31oh there's nobody there no one's gonna stop that just too short not quick enough and that noah's
15:37pulls it away beautifully 37 for two from five

20:30seen all innings all pure timing and placement from muhammad wazim jr

22:20what an innings what a strike this is brilliant stuff
22:27well the universe is conspiring for nois to win the game for his side
22:32now then seven from three it's gone now in the gladiators favor
22:41it's gone miles up in the air spider cam has to get out of the way
22:45house is after it he's put it down as well he's put it down as well now oprah has come down looking for
22:51three he gets them back this is absolute comedy out here at the moment if it wasn't so serious it'd be
23:00hilarious five from two quite extraordinary i mean shazad being given the final over
23:15oh it's out of the park and that is the game would you believe it
23:20kuweta gladiators are four from four in lahore and this has been the most astonishing of the lot
23:27oh he made the most of it those drop catches
23:37yeah
23:40like i said before
23:43the universe was conspiring four quick i have to win this one
23:49that one ends up on the floor and this one ends up out of the park
23:53four from four for the gladiators they go top of the hbl psl standings and kingviv can barely believe his eyes
24:07absolutely brilliant scenes brilliant camera work just to get the scenes from inside the dugout the
24:14supporters the supporters the owners both players it is brilliant stuff
24:23san nawaz is the hero 64 from 41. contributions from alan and rousseau at the top and then a massive
24:30wobble through the middle chapman hasibullah fahim jameson all going for cheap scores abra didn't get to
24:37face the ball he almost got himself run out and in the end one five nine for eight does the trick
24:45bowling figures two for 31 for nasim who bowled that brilliant 19th over earshad with two for 31
24:51also one apiece for holder muhammad nawaz who had a fantastic game both with the bat with the ball and
24:58in the field and salmon aliaga picked up a wicket with one for 16. so in summary one five seven for
25:05nine was not enough for islamabad united once again 59 dot balls for them that cost them dear
25:11you'd think over the course of the game muhammad nawaz's 49 got them up to that one five seven
25:17four for 25 for fahim ashraf he has been a wicket taking machine over the course of the matches here
25:24in lahore and the gladiators well it was all about hassan nawaz a few runs there for riley rousseau will
25:30make him feel a bit better two for nasim two for irshad and the gladiators breathlessly win by two
25:38wickets and there you have it a change at the top the gladiators jump over islamabad united by one
25:45that no result point the other day just means that they move on to 11. top four teams qualify
25:52and there's going to be a ripper of a game for you tomorrow
