00:26Fantastic scenes then, we're into the final
00:28photo of the HPL PSL, we've got a sold-out crowd today, it's looking absolutely fantastic.
00:37Right, and we've got the table toppers playing off today for an assured position in the final,
00:41Peshawar Zalmi versus Khoera Gladiators.
00:51Out of his crease, that's gone up in the air, is that the first strike for the Zalmis?
00:54Bismillah is taken by Baisto.
00:59And look at the Zalmi dugout and the fans are absolutely pumped up.
01:04In action straight away in the first over of the innings, and Bismillah after being so
01:11good in the last game, falling for naught, and it's none for one.
01:20Down the track, and he lifts it elegantly.
01:25Magnificent cricket from KP.
01:31Puts it into the gap, and that's well struck.
01:34Will it make it to the fence?
01:36Yes, it does.
01:42Oh, gone!
01:44Asghar, with a massive strike, Emma Shahzad just needlessly running down the crease, and
01:53a very soft dismissal, you've got to call it that.
01:56He wasn't looking comfortable, and in the end, he's fallen prey to possibly the state
02:03and the stature of this playoff.
02:06Didn't look happy at all at the crease.
02:09Emma Shahzad has gone for six, and, well, Gladiator's struggling now, 11 for two.
02:18That's gone up in the air, it's safe, it is safe, and it's a boundary.
02:26It's a pull shot into the gap, fantastic batting from KP, he's raising this game.
02:35Lovely timing, absolutely exquisite timing from Sanger Cara, is there anyone more graceful
02:43in the game?
02:49Oh, better, even better from Sanger.
02:56Sanger Cara.
02:57Lakeside this time, three boundaries in the over, and sheer class from Kumar Sanger Cara.
03:07He's got it through this time, it's brought up the 50 with another majestic four from Sanger Cara.
03:15Eight gone, 53 for two, here comes the truck.
03:23How good a shot is that?
03:25A little bit of width provided by Afridi, and he spanked it.
03:29Gladiator's on the move, this partnership is clearly hurting Zelmi.
03:34Makes room, goes Ariel, and finds the gap.
03:38Great play, great improvisation, got to call it that.
03:46That's gone, will it be the first one?
03:48Yes!
03:51KP putting it over Midwegen, and that's a catch also, he's part of the Corot deal.
03:58KP goes big, and straight, and glorious six.
04:04Wow, magnificent strike.
04:10That's a miscue, could be out, could be out.
04:13It's a stunner!
04:14Magnificent fielding.
04:17Beso, with an absolute beauty, ran in hard and took it inches off the ground.
04:24This is great stuff, this really is brilliant from the Zalmis.
04:30Against the runoff play, the Gladiators have lost a good one in Sanger Cara, 37 from 29.
04:36A wicket has gone down, 90 for three.
04:40KP with another great hit.
04:43It's overcomers, one bounce over the rope.
04:52And he gets a 50.
04:54What a stage to manage a 50.
04:56What a time for him to get a 50.
05:01Yeah, it is one for the side.
05:08Oh, gone, soft dismissal.
05:10It's a massive wicket shot.
05:12Radha Fridi doesn't even show any emotions, because he's still worried about the eventual
05:18outcome.
05:19But Zalmis are back in it.
05:21Two wickets in no time.
05:23And look at the yellows rise in the eyes.
05:26Oh, the dugout will be devastated, losing Safras for Nott.
05:33Nott is night.
05:3595 for four.
05:41Oh, mighty, mighty, big one.
05:45That'll do it very nicely.
05:47Vahabriyas has been picked off for a majestic six.
05:54Oh, that's gone up in the air, this will be taken, and yes, caught, Sean Tate.
06:00It's Hasan Ali has taken that catch, and KP has been dismissed.
06:05And Zalmis knows the importance of that strike.
06:08It is a massive strike.
06:11Possibly a game-changer.
06:13Gone for 53.
06:14It's one of six for five.
06:22Sublime timing.
06:23Now, he's played a lovely pull shot for a six, and this is not bad at all.
06:31Mirov takes it.
06:33Oh, drops it.
06:34Would you believe it?
06:35Hasan Ali had taken Kevin Peterson quite comfortably, and, well, he was there.
06:42I think he got it, and then it just bobbled out of his grip.
06:50He's got it.
06:51It's out of here.
06:51It's out of here.
06:52The pressure breaker.
07:01Edged and should be out.
07:03It's caught third man.
07:05Tate gets his man.
07:08Too quick, trying to hit it to the leg side, a top edge, and it carries all the way.
07:13Wahab takes the catch.
07:15Nawaz has to go.
07:17Tate delivers.
07:19He's a wicket-taker.
07:21Out for 20.
07:23One, 22 for six.
07:28Sold out.
07:31People waiting outside as well, but it's been fantastic.
07:36The crowd today from the word goal.
07:45Pulled away and he's picked out the fielder.
07:47He has picked him out.
07:49Another wicket.
07:51Hafiz, the man out there.
07:53Wahab ends the over with the wicket.
07:55Another slower delivery, which McCollum this time managed to hit, but straight to the man.
08:03Seven gone.
08:03McCollum out for one.
08:04126 for seven.
08:11In the air and out.
08:12Picked him out.
08:13The short, fine leg.
08:15Take does his work there.
08:16Wahab gets another.
08:19Squeeze one out again.
08:22First ball of the 20th.
08:23And it was there for the taking.
08:25Fine leg up in the circle.
08:26But Elliott hits it straight to him.
08:31All going Peshawar's way.
08:35Good start for Wahab in the 20th.
08:37Elliott going for five.
08:39133 for eight.
08:44Swing and a miss and there's confusion.
08:46One wants to go and the other's not sure.
08:49And the one that's unsure is out.
08:52It's Baba.
08:53First ball run out.
08:55All going pear shaped.
08:58Trying to run a bye.
09:00Zulfikar was having none of it.
09:03Wahab just easily rolls it to the wicket and he has to walk back.
09:08Out without scoring.
09:10The under.
09:17In the air.
09:18I don't think he's got all of it.
09:20Sami's under it and finishes the job.
09:23Three wickets and three balls.
09:27What an end.
09:29Wahab Reyes in the 20th over.
09:31Has finished it off.
09:33Sami with the catch.
09:34Anwar Ali had no option to try and hit it out of the ground.
09:39Gladiators with a poor end to the innings.
09:41Anwar Ali out for one.
09:43133 all out.
09:49Well, 133.
09:50It was a disappointing start, but a recovery with Peterson and Sangakara.
09:54One of them had to continue, but they both fell.
09:57And that was the costly tail when the wickets just started to tumble in the second half of the innings.
10:06Hassan Ali got a wicket in the very first over.
10:09Everybody bowled well at Wahab Reyes.
10:11Three for 17.
10:12The standout.
10:14And that meant that they only gave away 133.
10:21So we've got a packed crowd here, and they'll be watching Zalmi try to chase down 134 to get a
10:29direct route to the final.
10:31Three for 175.
10:31Three.
10:36Three.
10:37Three.
10:37Three.
10:37Waited this time.

10:43Sumptuous.
