00:00In the world, in the whole world, you can move the ground.
00:14You can climb and climb and climb and climb.
00:19Now, you can see me.
00:23there's a sweep shot catch it and is that's dropped
00:35oh he finds the gap strong outside edge earning in couple of runs
00:40oh goes for the pull shot finds the gap and that rushes across to the fence
00:53he goes big first six of the psl fantastic hit hit it with the spin and he was dismissive in his
01:02approach a strike a long ball once he gets to the ball momentum into the ball and that's gone
01:14oh gone this time is taken by mohammad nabi and zulfikar baba is off the mark
01:23oh
01:32short god what a catch that is a stinger an amazing catch
01:41the cut in the air and luke wright is a top fielder
01:45oh that's as good as you're gonna see at backward point but look at goal
01:52look how he knows how good that catches
01:54right through shane watson trying to make room and shows all three stops
02:05sir vivian enjoyed that what's i'm trying to give himself room i just sense he ran out of options
02:11look at the the actual slog at the end the head going nowhere and they try to force it early on
02:17just didn't work for him really wasn't on the
02:23joy all around
02:31oh dear oh dear that is a very poor piece of judgment from sam billings
02:37he's only been in there two minutes and he chooses a reverse sweep let's have a look at the shot
02:44it's never on preempted it hasn't been around long enough
02:48had he had he missed it he'd have been stumped as well dear oh dear
03:04as good as he's seen that's got to be good that's a wonderful shot
03:09outstanding effort
03:10but not good enough
03:17likes the extra coverage and just goes inside out a good effort in the deep
03:22but a welcome oi hoi boundary
03:30and here we go again a chance and accepted nobody gets the catch
03:34just losing his patience trying to smack it over mid-wicket or mid-on really not on just knock it
03:43down the ground keep running the singles nice catch
03:49first ball tries to go over cover and he's dropped let's put that down another opportunity this time not
03:57accepted well well it doesn't get much easier than that and this could change the fortunes of the side
04:07right here he got there so easily and three guys at it there's one two
04:16yeah tries another big shot this time nobody takes it at deep square leg now was with his fourth wicket
04:30sweep shot trying to go aerial i didn't get any of it not giving him not giving himself any chance there
04:38so another one bites of dust
04:47oh he's hit that many a mile why that's a big hit
04:53i'll tell you that little white kookaburra will go flying like the bird it's named after
04:59yeah viv would have been very proud of it
05:02that's more like it gone gone gone gone six misbah
05:12targeting the long on fence and this time it was a successful strike
05:18slower ball picked up by andrew russell he has got massive arms and a wide arc and the ball travels
05:32strong arms back there away she goes you don't want to stand in the way of that not if you're too close
05:41to the extra cover
05:45the balance once again was great inside out drive
05:48all gone brilliant dismissed it over mid-wicket for another gigantic
06:05short from umar goal too short for this fella
06:08yeah away she goes again oh that's a flashing extra cover drive without a vapor trail behind it
06:20well he's trying uh everything out there umar goal the last delivery was the uh so-called full length
06:26top edge and safe
06:37united earning some big runs in the last couple of hours they've been good
06:42under russell in particular and miss balak is on the move now
06:47slower ball nicely placed there's two men back with a square it's going to be another four for misbah
06:54it was the off cutter and there how he held his position and delayed the shot cleverly done
07:03it's pretty good thinking from this bar he worked that out he got all the geometry right
07:07he knew exactly
07:12the ball ee
07:16picked up and caught
07:17umar goal takes a smart catch
07:31oh it's gone for four it's gone for four from under russell he had to connect with one eventually
07:36but that was a brilliant last over from umar goal conceding just seven from it and at the end of the
07:43innings islamabad united have taken their score to 128 for seven
07:54right then have a look at the batting card nothing really worked for the united up front uh losing
08:00wickets then misbah came in and uh played a typical misbah knock 41 from 28 and andre russell
08:08was lightning quick 35 from 20 couple of special sixes that was the highlight of that innings
08:14now the bowlers will look at these figures and enjoy them hamad noah's four overs 12 doppels at two
08:22overs from which they didn't score four for 13 a wicket each for ali babar and umar goal who bowled
08:29well that last over just going for seven so some decent bowling there so 128 is on the board and the
08:36credit gladiators need 129 to win this opening match of the 8bl of the hbl psl
08:46cut away found the boundary yep that'll run along
08:52just gives them a start in this over so six for no loss
08:59yeah you catch him a six in the stand oh that's a boundary that's a four it's cut away nicely found
09:06the gap and applying a pressure straight away onto the bowler she's up
09:13he's got it fine oh it's beaten the fun it's beaten the tall man
09:18and will it go all the way yes it does so early pressure
09:23likes to use his feet finds the gap it's a beautiful shot on the move some great timing
09:3620 for no loss
09:41pulled away has it gone all the way yes it has
09:45wonderful shot just remembered he's a tall man you've got to get up nice and high
09:51quickly onto it he's hit that flat and it's gone right in the crowd chance to catch a career but no
09:59not that one
09:59another smack over mid wicket and it's gone all the way and has he been caught yes it has flag
10:10and gives it the kitchen sink didn't minute completely but sail into the crowd away from you
10:17and the short ball has not worked at all against look right the first ball or two of the over and you
10:25you've playing catch up we've seen it almost every over short again cut away
10:32had a runaway pace hits the boundary he smashed up so hard square of the wicket
10:41russell providing with the width and on the top of the palms is absolutely creamed up
10:48it's fantastic batting
10:51in the cut short again short and wide and again right doesn't need a second in rotation this time
10:58just slightly behind square saw a little flash of civilian sitting there he'd be loving that too
11:08and a few ball full tosses on the legs to any bathroom let it on look right in red hot form
11:14well he just tripped it straight back to khalid he stood there he was going to turn around the corner
11:30changed his mind trying to turn it to leg and there's spin on offer so not a great option
11:37of the old position nimran khalid gets the wicket gets a crucial wicket just to get united on the board
11:53gives himself a lot of room to play these extravagant shots luke wright
11:58Imran Khalid, suffering this time.
12:12There's still some turn here. That's a half century.
12:16And a very impressive stylish half century from England's Luke Wright.
12:21Oh, now then, that's worth a shout, isn't it? Yes, it is.
12:27Umpire says it's worth more than a shout.
12:30He's given Peterson LBW.
12:35Jerky way of playing the forward defensive shot.
12:38And yeah, it was good shot, very good shot.
12:40And a good decision by the umpire because he waited.
12:45Slapped away, threw extra cover.
12:48And he's got the measure of Marvin Irfan.
12:55Because he loses the natural angle.
12:58And the craftiness that comes with it.
13:00So this is pretty straightforward for a guy who's in red hot form.
13:04Was really in blistering touch.
13:09That's put away into the fence. That's a good shot.
13:12In the slot, Irfan has gone for plenty.
13:14Just doesn't have enough energy, I guess, really, to get going.
13:18And so he's been put away.
13:2012 in the year. 86 for two.
13:22A juicy full toss and it's smashed.
13:31Luke Wright with another maximum.
13:35I'd love to know the weight of Luke Wright's bat.
13:41Because he's got absolutely blisteringly fast hands.
13:45Look how fast those hands with that bat round his left shoulder.
13:50Slightly slower delivery.
13:55And it almost paid off for Shane Watson.
14:02Shot one.
14:04And Luke Wright, as per normal in this innings, climbs all over that.
14:09One-bounce boundary.
14:11One-bounce boundary.
14:24Lavan learned that bowling full tosses to Luke Wright doesn't work.
14:28Clobbered through the onside over mid-wicket into the fence.
14:32And another oi-hoi thought.
14:35I'm afraid that in this irrepressible form, Luke Wright, that's an absolute gift.
14:43It was really a matter of just to take your time.
14:45Oh, he spanked this off the back foot into the crowd.
14:49And, well, it's moving away quickly now.
14:55Surely they're doing a fabulous job here.
14:58Clinical and magnificent.
15:00It was a brute of a shot.
15:03Picked up the length so early.
15:05Andre Russell has had a tough night with the ball.
15:07Very tough night.
15:09Say that again.
15:10Yep, he would be.
15:23He'd be in that train to him and he'd be saying,
15:25it's well played, boys.
15:26This is what we want to see.
15:28Get out a win early.
15:30So, 132 for two is what they did in just 16 overs.
15:44It's a good win.
15:45Eight wickets.
15:46The celebrations all round, handshakes, all good.
15:50But that man in picture, Luke Wright, I thought he played exceptionally well.
15:53He took the game away early.
15:55So, Gladiators.
15:58Well, look at this.
16:01Wright not out.
16:0286 in 53.
16:04Stand out.
16:05Shehzad.
16:0611 off 9.
16:07Kevin Pedersen got out.
16:09Two culling.
16:10LBW.
16:11Now he's not out.
16:1222 of 22 balls.
16:14So, just 16 overs and 132 for two it was.
16:20So, the bowling figures, well, Mamata Farn up front.
16:29He really bowled a little bit too short and too wide.
16:32Badri didn't make an input there.
16:34Andre Russell wasn't a good night with the ball for him.
16:37Two overs, 31 going at over 15.
16:40And Coloured got the two wickets.
16:43So, there you go.
16:45Asloma Bad United got 128 for seven in their 20.
16:48And then Quetta Gladiators, just 16 overs.
16:51They got 132 for two.
16:53And they've won by eight wickets.
16:55Highs of the
17:13Highs of the
17:15Highs of the
17:19You
