01:29Pretty formidable top three there.
01:32Saad, Baig, Kushtul Shah, Irfan Khan, Niazi, Mohamed Nabi, pretty powerful middle order.
01:38Abbas Afridi, top wicket taker, Hassan Ali not far behind.
01:41Meir Hamza and Fawad Ali, another emerging player in the lineup.
01:45Let's take a look at the Lahore Calandas.
01:49Bako Zaman, he's been impressive.
01:51Mahamed Naeem, equally impressive as a young player.
01:53And Abdullah Shafiq rounding out the top three.
01:56Kusul Pereira, Banuka, Rajapaksa coming in for his first game.
02:00Shaheen Shah Freedy, captain.
02:02Harris Ralph, Salman Mirza and Zaman Khan round out that 11.
02:05Faisal Afridi and Rasheed Riyaz, the men from left to right.
02:14Righto.
02:15We are ready to go.
02:17This is going to be fascinating.
02:19Head to head with the skippers.
02:24Ah, there's a bit of movement.
02:26It looks sluggish with the feet first up and that can happen.
02:31Got that away, swatted it.
02:33Beautifully for four.
02:35Now that's another unforced error.
02:36You would think that should have been stopped.
02:41Looking to go over the top.
02:42He has gone over the top.
02:43Fingertips and is going to run away to that vacant area for four.
02:46Here we go.
02:49That's a full toss that time.
02:51Punches it down the ground.
02:52The outfield is lightning quick and that's gone for four.
02:54Can't stop that.
03:01He's picked that up.
03:04No one out there.
03:04That's gone for four.
03:05Boundary off the first ball.
03:06The over is big against Afridi.
03:12He's flicked that away.
03:13Out of the screws for six.
03:14That's gone into the crowd.
03:16Beautifully played by David Warner.
03:19First six of the game from the skipper, David Warner.
03:23And that too against Shaheen Shavridi.
03:26Towards square leg.
03:28Beautiful shot.
03:33Short delivery.
03:34In the air.
03:35Filter out there.
03:36Is he going to take the catch?
03:37He is.
03:38That's a very, very good catch.
03:41Fine grab.
03:42Really nicely done by Asif Ali.
03:45Moved beautifully around that boundary line.
03:47Judged it perfectly.
03:48Didn't rush at all.
03:49His timing was outstanding.
03:51Number 45.
03:52Well done.
03:53Pretty well directed short ball there.
03:55Sim Seifer just couldn't quite get his arms through the ball.
03:57Karachi Kings now.
03:5943 for one after four.
04:03Oh, that's a great shot.
04:05That really is brilliantly played.
04:07Very dismissive in style.
04:11Just pure timing.
04:12The strong wrists coming into play.
04:15David Warner played a similar shot earlier also.
04:18No swing on that.
04:19And just picking it up.
04:21Goes big Warner.
04:25Connects well for six.
04:27Full toss put away.
04:33That's gone up in the air.
04:35And it's a wicket.
04:38James Vince can't believe it.
04:40Because it was a loose ball.
04:41A half trekker that's found the fielder perfectly.
04:46Normally doesn't hit in the air.
04:48Especially to the spinners.
04:50On the onside.
04:52It wasn't very short.
04:54But he had to just.
04:55Just under it.
04:56And scooped it.
04:57Didn't get the elevation he was looking for.
05:00He's paid the price.
05:02He's gone for four.
05:03Karachi needs a second wicket.
05:0574 for two.
05:09There's a drive.
05:10It's a powerful drive for four.
05:12Great batting.
05:13Great 50.
05:14On a tough pitch.
05:16He's led them from the front.
05:18With a great 50.
05:20Now he's looking very, very dangerous for Lahore Calandas.
05:28He's got that away.
05:30Got it away beautifully.
05:31Back on a square on the offside for four.
05:33Nicely played.
05:34Six off the over so far.
05:38Two balls to go.
05:39Oh, that's hit the splice of the bat.
05:41Very quick indeed.
05:42Pereira's taking that catch.
05:43Couple rolls as well.
05:45Big wicket.
05:45Harris Ralph is now struck.
05:47That was a fast delivery.
05:48Bounce a ball with searing pace.
05:53He was too late on the stroke.
05:55Unlucky for Lahore.
05:57Pereira wasn't.
06:00Just snap that one.
06:01Another wicket for Lahore.
06:04It's South Big for 11.
06:0599 for three.
06:06It's a full toss.
06:10And that's whipped away.
06:11One bounce scoots away for a boundary.
06:13And he's been punished for the last two balls.
06:19Oh, and he's picked that up beautifully.
06:20And that's going to go into the crowd.
06:22Can they catch it?
06:24No, they can't.
06:25Six runs as the result.
06:27Punished again.
06:29And he didn't stutter on the cue.
06:31Went with the stroke.
06:32And he's been rewarded.
06:37Well, that's cracked.
06:38And out.
06:41Sharp catch taken.
06:43Shaker hit from Zaman Khan.
06:44He's got a little bit of treatment today.
06:47Overstepped it a couple of times.
06:48Got punished.
06:50Kept his eyes on the ball in the end.
06:54Held it quite easily.
06:55And that is a big breakthrough.
06:59He's a danger man, Niazi.
07:06As Niazi goes for 18.
07:09Karachi 137 for four.
07:11Now Karachi.
07:14A magnificent 75 of 51.
07:17This time, he suffers.
07:20Zaman Khan picks up a wicket.
07:21Naeem has been outstanding, actually.
07:24Bowling for the first time in this year.
07:25As HBL PSL is cursing himself.
07:28Naeem has really surprised everyone with the spell.
07:31He has bowled first.
07:32He bowled a couple of overs.
07:34And now again,
07:36Zaman Khan was the man that short, fine leg picked up a very, very major wicket.
07:4375 of 52.
07:50Rachi pulling it back a little bit.
07:52140 for five.
07:56Last four overs to be bowled.
07:57180 if they continue at the current rate.
08:00188, 196.
08:02If they have a good time of it.
08:03That's gone up in the air, slices it, gets it past the man at point.
08:10And the ball trickles down and hits the fence.
08:18Beautifully timed into the fence.
08:20What a shot that is.
08:22Magnificently played.
08:27That's into the gap.
08:29That's gone all the way for six.
08:30It's a skimmer.
08:31It went flat.
08:33And it did the distance.
08:34Goal aim.
08:39Fast and furious and straight.
08:41Full toss at pace.
08:45But it's definitely reversing.
08:47That's why he just completely missed it.
08:49Off the pad a little bit.
08:50Onto the middle stump.
08:52Nabi thinking I missed out on a big opportunity here.
08:56This wasn't the best delivery from Aris Rove.
09:01Picked up a massive wicket.
09:03Big wicket.
09:03Nabi gone for 16.
09:05It's 163 for 6.
09:10Up in the air.
09:12Chance.
09:12And it's taken.
09:14Good catch.
09:15Raja Paksha there.
09:17Making sure that he held on to that one.
09:20Yeah.
09:21Dropped few easy ones.
09:23And picked up a couple of really good catches also.
09:26It was Ali earlier.
09:29And this time it was Raja Paksha.
09:30He picked up his second catch.
09:32One in gully.
09:33And now he had to cover the light with the hand for a bit and then judge it.
09:39Perfect catch.
09:41Just scored two.
09:43It's 165 for seven.
09:45It's 175 for the first one.
09:50The game's in.
09:52It's 165.
09:52And then finally the last one.
09:53It's 165.
09:53It's 165.
09:54It's 165.
09:54Freely picks up a wicket. Another wicket gone for Karachi Kings. Good spell by
09:58the skipper. Got his second wicket. Look at that delivery pitched. Just slipped
10:04back a bit. Played across the line. Middleston gone. See you later. Bye-bye
10:10Hasan Ali. He departs. Karachi now under pressure. 173 for eight.
10:18Oh, that's gone all the way for a gigantic, magnificent, majestic six.
10:31Hits it straight. Beats the man at long off.
10:40It's it. Straight to long on. And that's gone through for four.
10:45Just about sums up the misery in the field for Lahore Kalundas.
10:49It's just been a disastrous night for them in the field.
10:57Focus back on batting and batting extremely well because this is a terrific total that's set up by
11:02Karachi Kings. Courtesy Warner. 75 from 52. And then the middle order also contributed.
11:09Khushdel played a blinder. 27 of just 14 balls.
11:13Nabi 16 of 10. And helped massively by some very, very ordinary field.
11:19Yeah, fielders didn't help the course. Two wickets for Shaheen for 47 and four overs. Salman went for 37. I thought he bowled quite nicely.
11:29Zaman went for 49 with plenty of no balls.
11:32Sakibu Lassan only bowled one over a good one. I don't know why didn't he carry on bowling.
11:36Naeem bowled three overs, bowled beautifully.
11:40It's a target that they'll have to chase and bat out their skins to get to 191.
11:49Here we go then. Fucker is on strike.
11:53Big shot.
12:01What a way to begin your knock.
12:04What a way to begin your knock.
12:08Then the third ball dances down.
12:10Just whacks him over.
12:14Oh, bid on for a six.
12:16Oh, that's on the bounce. Gets it past the man at Square Lake.
12:26Oh, that's massive. That's muscle for six. One bounce over the rope.
12:40Oh, punishes him through the offside this time. Made just a little bit of adjustment.
12:47He's itching to go. He's itching to go. There he goes.
12:52That's clumped. And that's gone all the way for six.
13:03Can't get anywhere near that.
13:05James Vince is running back, thinking.
13:15Hits it straight. Should get a boundary.
13:18He's just missed his mark. The last few balls.
13:20Muhammad Nabi.
13:27Wow.
13:29What a six.
13:31In his range, in his zone, and absolutely nailed.
13:37A bit of pace off.
13:38And that is a pure swing of the bat.
13:40And that has cleared the boundary by some way.
13:45Goes big again. Now there's a chance.
13:47James Vince catches it well.
13:51Breezy conditions.
13:53He held on to it.
13:55What a catch. That has gone so high.
13:58Off-pace ball again.
14:01Brave.
14:02For the last one got deposited in the stand.
14:05No one could watch.
14:08If you want a man under the high ball, and his name's not Dominic Cork,
14:13James Vince will be the next person you wanted.
14:17Brilliant hands. Great catch.
14:23Gone for 14.
14:24Lahore lose their first wicket.
14:2542 for one.
14:30Flipped away.
14:31Nice shot.
14:32One bounce.
14:33Four runs.
14:38Oh, he's clubbed that.
14:40That's flat.
14:40That's gone for six.
14:41That's a beautiful shot.
14:43The smack off the bat.
14:44Well, that one was terrific.
14:46There's he going for another one.
14:47Oh, just over the top.
14:48It's gone for four.
14:49Four, six, four.
14:50That's the last three balls.
14:51Oh, that's been smashed.
14:52It's gone from 69 for one.
14:53To 79, 75 for one.
14:54In one blow.
14:55Yeah, good use of the feet.
14:56And went with the spin.
14:57That's a humongous hit.
14:58Oh.
14:59That's gone high.
15:00How far is it going?
15:01Far enough?
15:02No.
15:03Catch has been taken.
15:04Muhammad Nabi is taken the ball.
15:05Oh, that's been smashed.
15:06It's gone from 69 for one.
15:07Oh, that's been smashed.
15:08It's gone from 69 for one.
15:09It's a 79, 75 for one.
15:10One blow.
15:11Yeah, good use of the feet.
15:12And went with the spin.
15:13That's a humongous hit.
15:14Oh, that's gone high.
15:15It's lost control of that.
15:16How far has it gone?
15:17Far enough?
15:18No.
15:19Catch has been taken.
15:21Oh, that's gone high.
15:22He's lost control of that.
15:23How far has it gone?
15:24Far enough?
15:25No.
15:26Catch has been taken.
15:27Mohamed Nabi's taken the catch, he doesn't drop, he's got buckets for hands, he doesn't drop them, that's a massive, massive wicket.
15:35That is huge.
15:37Fakhar couldn't help himself, saw the short delivery, he deals with this sort of deliveries very, very well.
15:43I think he hit, oh, and it was almost popped out of Nabi's hand.
15:50Fakhar Zaman, 47 of 28, good innings, comes to an end, 75 for two.
15:57Fakhar live now, good to see, and he's just struck that for four, that's right out of the middle, beautifully controlled.
16:08Without losing wicket, that's a mighty hit, that's where he loves them.
16:20Now that is some shot, Klaas to go with that beautiful wrist work.
16:25100 comes up with that delightful, sumptuous shot.
16:34Catch it is the call, that's gone all the way for a fabulous six.
16:38That is stunning from Abdullah Shafiq, hardly seem to have hit it.
16:42Oh, that is magnificent, that made a huge, great sound.
16:52That's a 100-meter monster.
16:55Absolutely nailed it.
16:57What a shot, what a knock from Abdullah Shafiq.
17:01The situation very well, and batting accordingly.
17:03Help himself for another six.
17:10This is not great from Hassan Ali, just a pick-up shot for six.
17:14What a big over for Lahore Kalandas.
17:1750 for the left-hander.
17:18Oh, that scoops in the air for another magnificent six.
17:29It's a 50 for Abdullah Shafiq.
17:33Raising his game to the roof.
17:35On the day when they needed something special from him,
17:38he's provided them with a breathtaking 50.
17:41The pull shot, that goes all the way for six.
17:47Flat six.
17:49He continues to amaze.
17:52This is impressive from Abdullah Shafiq.
17:54He's taking it to the Karachi Kings bowlers.
17:58Look at this.
18:00Beautifully played.
18:01There's a fielder there.
18:03Got a rick in.
18:05James Wrens.
18:08What a catch.
18:11He's done all the hard work.
18:13He's trying to finish it in style.
18:17Best fielder in the Karachi XI.
18:22It's a brilliant catch.
18:24Right over his shoulder.
18:25Right over his head.
18:28He's had a glimmer of hope.
18:30You feel it's a little bit too late for Karachi,
18:32but you just never know.
18:37Shafiq goes for a wonderful 65.
18:41Lahore, 158 for three.
18:46Rise of catch.
18:47It's in the air.
18:49Diving past the outstretched hand.
18:52And it's gone for four.
18:53Hassan Ali not happy from the baller's perspective.
18:55Got that away nicely for four.
19:02Bounder off the first ball, the over.
19:03That's priceless.
19:04Ideal.
19:05What else you want?
19:07With seven rickets in hand.
19:09Hamza.
19:10That's club.
19:10That's flats.
19:11Is it out?
19:12Yes, it is.
19:14Jamal again.
19:14He's all over the show, this, Blake.
19:16That's a comfortable catch.
19:18Pereira has to go.
19:20Almost saw his side home.
19:23I thought from my angle, that was six.
19:25Just got a little bit too square.
19:27Good catch.
19:28Good flat.
19:29Hard.
19:30Catch.
19:31And Pereira, he's played a good hand.
19:36Leaves for 30.
19:38And Lahore, almost there, but 184 for four.
19:44Now, that's a hit up.
19:45Has that gone all the way?
19:47It has.
19:49Gone all the way.
19:50And that's it.
19:52They have gone up.
19:53They have won.
19:54Lahore Culliners have won by six records.
19:56The celebration's there now.
19:58They really filled it poorly, but they have batted superbly to win this game.
20:03The Karachi King's going to be so disappointed with this.
20:06Lahore can't stay alive.
20:08Absolutely.
20:12As we look at the cards for Lahore, Faka Zaman was in brilliant form.
20:1647 off 28.
20:18Shafiq was outstanding today.
20:1965 off 35.
20:20I thought his hitting was so clean.
20:22He played beautifully.
20:23It was really a fine knock.
20:25Pereira was good as well.
20:26Really good partnership to those two.
20:2830th for 24 for him.
20:29And Roger Paksa, 23 off a dozen.
20:32A late addition to the squad.
20:33Did nicely to get them home.
20:36Yeah, Hamza won for 32.
20:38Hassan Ali, 37 for two.
20:40Pick up the bowlers for me.
20:41And Abbas, look at his bowling analysis.
20:43Four overs, three dot balls and 49 runs.
20:46So very average bowling card for Karachi Kings.
20:49Karachi Kings winning the toss.
20:52Selecting the bat.
20:53190 for eight.
20:54They slowed down a little bit.
20:56And they weren't getting a fast partnership going.
20:59And that cost them towards the end.
21:00Warner was terrific.
21:01With a bit of luck, as he said, with his 75 off 52.
21:04Kustel, 27 not out.
21:05Off 14.
21:06That was really handy right at the end.
21:08Aras Ralph, three for 35.
21:09Shaheen, two for 47 on the expensive side.
21:12Shaqib, one over, one for four.
21:14And the Cullanders, 191 for four.
21:16Shafiq, 85 off 35.
21:18In fact, all the batsmen got starts.
21:20Faka Pereira and Roger Paxas.
21:21So good work from them.
21:22Hassan Ali was the pick of the bowlers.
21:24Two for 37 off his four.
21:26And the Cullanders staying alive and winning this one by six wickets.
21:33And they're going to be playing in this middle game tomorrow.
21:37As Lombard United, May 23rd.
21:39Tomorrow, eliminated number two against the Hawke Cullanders.
21:42After As Lombard lost to Quetta Gladiators in the qualifier.
21:45Top right of that road to the final.
21:47That playoff tree.
21:49And it is going to be the Karachi Kings that are now dropping out.
21:52And the winner of tomorrow's game goes through to the final against the Quetta Gladiators on the 25th.
22:00Right, that's the big game.
22:01As Lombard United against the Hawke Cullanders.
22:03We're going to be on air at 7.20pm local time.
22:17We're going to be on air at 7.20pm.
22:33Hey! Hey! Hey!
