00:14Oh, my God.
00:55It is match five of Super Sunday.
00:58That sees the Quetta Gladiators up against the Hyderabad Kingsmen.
01:02Match five live from the Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
01:07Just joining us, it was Saud Shaquille who won the toss.
01:12And on a very good batting pitch, decided to have a bat first.
01:18No changes for Quetta after that loss to the Karachi Kings.
01:24They'll want a little bit more from that middle order, which was the reason why they weren't able to chase
01:29down that 1-8-2.
01:30Good from the opening two.
01:32Riley Russo and McDermott got themselves in, but just fell 14 runs short.
01:40Lots of changes then for Hyderabad.
01:42They have decided to make them changes after that initial loss.
01:46In comes Maz Sadikat, Saeed Ali, Mahish Tikshana.
01:50Out goes Rizwan Mahmood, Mo Ali and Kussel Pereira.
01:55So three changes for Hyderabad.
01:58And the captain, Manas Labashain, will want a little bit more from his squad.
02:03They are quite a decent squad.
02:16Match five, here we go.
02:20And a debut for this man as well in HBL PSL.
02:24First delivery, lovely looking shot.
02:26It is cut off, so we're off and running then, the Gladiators.
02:34What a shot.
02:35Beautiful looking shot for a maximum.
02:37What a way to bring up a first six of match five.
02:42Yeah, he was able to hit that ball because of that torque.
02:45Usually, if a batsman with upright stance tend to hit that ball through extra cover,
02:51he was able because of that torque.
02:55Oh, and then because he's gone a little bit wider, because he's worried about that leg side,
02:59he just pops up a beautiful half volley.
03:06That's in the air.
03:07Should be taken.
03:10And is taken.
03:11That is a big wicket.
03:13A very good start.
03:15Ahmad Azam was the fielder.
03:17This one just sits in the surface.
03:19He has got cover out, remember, deep square leg.
03:22So that is okay.
03:24Maybe the lack of pace, just a bit of a top edge.
03:28It's a simple catch, really, but after dropping four the other day, you're feeling the pressure.
03:34Ahmad takes a good catch.
03:35And the captain has to go, Saoud Shaquille.
03:38He goes to four.
03:4021 for one.
03:42No, he goes length delivery.
03:45They may get their second.
03:46It's a big wicket.
03:47It is a big wicket.
03:48Captain takes it.
03:49Labashane.
03:50And Riley Rousseau elevated to number three.
03:53Goes cheaply.
03:56Tried to muscle it.
03:58No timing.
04:00Couldn't find the middle.
04:01Splice of the bat.
04:03Went high in the air.
04:05And job tied it up by the captain.
04:08Took it nicely.
04:09And they are making a statement.
04:13A Kingsman.
04:14They have picked up their second so far.
04:17Into the fourth over.
04:18He goes without scoring.
04:2025 for two.
04:24Full toss.
04:25Now that is not a very clever delivery.
04:26Especially when you're bowling a free hit.
04:29Full toss on the legs.
04:37He's gone through.
04:38Has it?
04:39Yes, it has.
04:40He won't be a happy man.
04:42As a bowler and as a captain.
04:44You always feel as a bowler should have stopped that.
04:47Was hit hard.
04:47Yes.
04:51Big shot coming.
04:52Has the distance and the power to get him a maximum.
04:56Hassan Nawaz picks up his first big one for the afternoon.
05:01A floater.
05:03And it sails over.
05:05So the free hit.
05:06The wide.
05:07The no ball.
05:07All going for the gladiators.
05:10And not for Lubbershain at this point.
05:14Oh, he was loading up for that.
05:16And it will be a monster at the end of this.
05:20Welcome to the craze, Hassan Khan.
05:26You'll have plenty of zeros in your bank account.
05:29As Shamil has in the column of sixes.
05:32He's got another one.
05:34Yeah, he's not.
05:35Allowing the left arm spinner to run away.
05:41Free hit.
05:42And it will be back to back fifties for young Shamil Hussain.
05:46What a fine prospect for the gladiators.
05:48And for Pakistan.
05:49And becomes the only Pakistani cricketer.
05:52Yeah, different kind of a knock.
06:02Sigh in the air.
06:03Wasn't a very good delivery.
06:04Had to be put away.
06:07Half-tracker gave ample amount of time for Hassan Nawaz to use the depth of the crease.
06:14That was at six.
06:16The previous over.
06:25Chance here.
06:26Chance here.
06:27Yeah, he's gone.
06:28Shamil Hussain.
06:29The slow one into the page.
06:31And he's trying to just elevate that work it over point.
06:35Who took a good catch looking into the sun.
06:38It's been a feature of Riley Meredith's bowling today.
06:41Slower balls into the wicket.
06:43They've been hard to get away.
06:45It's in up and over.
06:47A very simple catch there, this IMO.
06:50He departs for 54.
06:52Quetta now are 114 for three.
06:58There we go.
06:59Another 54.
07:00Hassan Nawaz in this format.
07:01Make that 10 to his name.
07:04Well played.
07:05And he probably will have now to go on all the way to the end.
07:08Especially after he's lost his partner.
07:11Shamil Hussain.
07:15He's asking for it.
07:16Asking for it.
07:16Given by the umpire.
07:18Is he going to go upstairs?
07:19Yes, he does.
07:26Original decision was out.
07:28Ball tracking coming up now, Wolfie.
07:30Pitching outside off.
07:31Is in line.
07:33Wickets is umpire's call.
07:35You'll be staying with your original decision about.
07:37Stand by.
07:38We'll get you on screen.
07:40There you go.
07:41It clips that leg stomp.
07:42Which means the umpire's call stands.
07:45And that is another wicket.
07:46So Khwaja Nafe has been dismissed.
07:48And Quetta Gladiators lose their fourth.
07:55Wow, what a delivery.
07:57And he's got to be rewarded.
07:58With another one that has surely brushed that pad on the way.
08:01Just around that knee roll.
08:03He's on a hat trick.
08:05And you look here.
08:06Tekshana just flicks that one out the front.
08:12And on the back, Niri.
08:14And that is no doubt in my mind that that is cannoning in to Milanov.
08:20We're going to lose another one.
08:211.21 for five now.
08:37Suicidal run out there.
08:39Tom Curran has sold Hasan Nawaz up the river.
08:45Called for the second run.
08:48Sent him back.
08:49And Hasan Nawaz has to go.
08:52Quetta in all sorts of trouble here at the minute.
08:54What just happened here?
08:56We're just talking about how important Hasan Nawaz would we ever look at this.
09:00Now he's coming back with full commitment for the second.
09:02And then he aborts.
09:04Really don't know why Tom Curran decided to do that.
09:07Even if he did.
09:08Should have gone through with that second run.
09:11He needed to keep running in.
09:12Sacrifice himself.
09:13But Hasan Nawaz has to go.
09:15Quetta.
09:15128 for six.
09:18So far.
09:19Down towards Long On.
09:22And got enough of it.
09:23Good shot from Tom Curran.
09:24A maximum to finish.
09:26138 for six.
09:31Nicely timed.
09:33It's a lovely looking shot.
09:35Collapser that back leg.
09:36And flies it all the way.
09:40Over extra.
09:41Wow.
09:42What a shot.
09:42Arooge.
09:43They're just building a bit of momentum now.
09:46What an innings this is from Tom Curran.
09:4830 from 16.
09:49He's striking at 187.
09:53In totality since the two games.
09:56That one's been taken.
10:00Brilliant from Syma Youb.
10:02He holds on to that one.
10:03And it will see the back of Tom Curran.
10:08This afternoon.
10:09He just didn't get it out the middle.
10:11He's hit some beautiful shots.
10:12And a good catch.
10:14We may have seen quite an easy one put down.
10:16The over before by the captain.
10:18But this one is good.
10:19Look at his eyes.
10:19Look how level his head is.
10:22Perfect example of how to take a low catch.
10:25Good innings from Tom Curran.
10:26Comes to an end.
10:27Gone for 31.
10:29165 for seventh.
10:32Akif Javid then with a wicket in the second over.
10:34Azari Joseph comes.
10:36And goes.
10:38Simple catch.
10:40Good finish.
10:41In the last six balls so far for Akif Javid.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Good partnership.
10:48The previous one courtesy Tom Curran.
10:51But since then now another one goes.
10:54Azari Joseph had the license to swing.
10:56Only three deliveries left in the pace.
10:58Now that's back to back pickets for Akif Javid.
11:01Azari Joseph goes without scoring.
11:03165 for eight.
11:06Hat-trick ball.
11:07Akif Javid.
11:07This one cut away by the new batter for a boundary.
11:13A bra.
11:14Ahmed with a beautiful shot.
11:18Gets it past.
11:20Yeah.
11:20Clever.
11:20That's a decent shot.
11:23Into the 170s.
11:30Well up and over.
11:33Parkview City fans question there.
11:36That was a little bit of luck from Abraber.
11:38He'll be happy with that.
11:40He's come in nine from three.
11:41And that finishes off the 20 overs.
11:45174 for eight.
11:46Whether that's enough.
11:47They seem happy.
11:51When the toss decided to have a bat first.
11:54Sound Shaquille went early on to Raleigh Meredith.
11:57Who was good up front.
11:58Shamir with another 50.
11:59Back to back 50s for that young man.
12:0250 for Hassan Nawaz as well.
12:04But they just lost a little bit of momentum.
12:06Good from Tom Curran in the end.
12:08And they finished with 174 for eight.
12:11Yeah.
12:12The Bad Kingsman and their bowlers.
12:14Damage was done up front.
12:15Tikshana.
12:16Very good.
12:1724 in his four for a couple of weeks.
12:18Wickets Riley Meredith striking up front with three.
12:21Akif Jawa with a couple of strikes in that last over.
12:24But the rest of the lot.
12:26Labashain Hassan was expensive night.
12:2814 in his four.
12:30Managed eight wickets of the opposition.
12:33We're halfway through Super Sunday match five.
12:36And it is the Hyderabad Kingsman who will require 175 to win.
12:41At just under nine runs per over.
12:47Charge intent and through the gap for four.
12:50What a start.
12:51What a statement from Saim Ayub.
12:53He's off and running.
12:54And there's a guy who's just run up from down there.
12:56So to like this intent, Martin Guptill, you'd have loved to do this to anybody.
13:03Width and a crack.
13:05That is a gorgeous piece of timing from Saim.
13:10Wow.
13:11What a shot that is.
13:13Saim Ayub.
13:16Edged and gone.
13:19Brilliant reply from the speedster.
13:23Drawers are close to the curtains for Saim Ayub this afternoon.
13:27Didn't panic, did he?
13:28Alzari Joseph.
13:29Yeah.
13:29He got hit by a couple of good shots.
13:36Nice searing short ball there from Alzari Joseph.
13:39Gets in an awkward position.
13:41And all he can do is just glove it through to Ben McDermott.
13:44Simple catch there.
13:46Navigotel, smart wicket.
13:49He did look good for the four balls he was in.
13:51He has to go now.
13:53Kingsman, nine for one.
13:57This time over slip.
14:00This time over the outstretched hand of Shamil Hussain in the slip cordon.
14:09Another one goes.
14:12Shamil Hussain takes that catch.
14:14Abrar celebrates.
14:16The nod tells you a story.
14:18Off you go, Mas Sadakat.
14:19Ah, Sadakat first game back.
14:22Ends quickly.
14:23Bit of flight in there.
14:26He's hit it reasonably well.
14:27It's just hit them straight to the fielder.
14:30They are happy.
14:31The Quetta Gladiators.
14:32They're well on top here early.
14:36Kingsman now.
14:3817 for two.
14:46Not holding that the way he would have liked.
14:48But he gets a boundary.
14:50It works for him.
14:51Power play is the zone where they'd like to get as many as possible.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Oh, he's got him.
14:57He's got him surely.
14:58The finger goes up.
14:59And a good catch taken by the keeper.
15:02Hard flash at that.
15:03But doesn't get a hold of it at all.
15:05Lusman being the third one being put away to the dugout.
15:11And he thought, here's a chance to pick up a wicket.
15:15And went for the right baller, Abrar.
15:18Who obliged the captain with his first delivery.
15:21Must have been asking a few questions.
15:24He goes for 14.
15:26Spot a bother.
15:27Kingsman are at the moment with 35 for three.
15:33Does he get enough of it?
15:35I don't think he does.
15:36No.
15:36Caught in the deep.
15:37Really good from Elzari Joseph.
15:40Pace to the ball.
15:41And once again, Usman Tariq has a wicket.
15:47Flicks it out the front.
15:49Sting strike.
15:51Tries the big slog sweep.
15:53All he can do is find Elzari Joseph in the deep.
15:57And Sarali has to go.
16:00Kingsman are further in it now.
16:0251 for four after nine.
16:06Decent catch up and over.
16:08Extra cover from the captain, Lavashane.
16:12First boundary after 31 deliveries.
16:18Don't think he gets this.
16:19This is a chance.
16:21Chance.
16:21Chance.
16:23Taken.
16:24Shamil Hussain with another half century.
16:27And the captain's gone.
16:29And Hyderabad, they're in tatters.
16:32Gives himself room again.
16:34Gets too far away from the ball.
16:36Comes right off the bottom of the bet.
16:40Shamil Hussain.
16:41Good running catch.
16:42Comfortable in the end.
16:45And Hyderabad, Kingsman now.
16:4757 for five.
16:52First over.
16:54Got a wicket.
16:54This one will just run away for a boundary then.
16:57More importantly, the wicket in the over.
16:59Ten overs gone.
17:00We're halfway in this run chase.
17:0161 for five.
17:05Has he got enough of it?
17:06It's towards that shorter side.
17:08He has.
17:09Big six.
17:09They need lots more of them.
17:13Decent shot, this.
17:17Really good shot.
17:19Shades of Dominic Cork.
17:20Back in his career.
17:22If only.
17:27Oh, brilliant.
17:28What a grab that is from Ben McDermott.
17:31That is a stunning piece of athleticism.
17:36The reason why this is a brilliant catch.
17:44Then jump the other way to be able to catch that one.
17:48What a take that was.
17:50Brilliant.
17:52Brilliant piece of wicket keeping.
17:53And saluted by the captain.
17:57Acknowledging how big the effort was.
18:0131 was Hassan Khan's contribution.
18:04It's one of five for six.
18:09This time he gets hold of it.
18:11Flat bats that.
18:12And that's gone all the way.
18:13He does have that power.
18:15There wasn't much pace on the ball.
18:16But he still can put that in that fashion.
18:22Now this time he's got hold of it.
18:24Clean hit.
18:24Hits the side screen on the full.
18:27Yeah, nice looking shot this from Niazi.
18:32Oh, he'll get it now.
18:34Comes down the wicket and gets his man.
18:36He's happy.
18:37Yeah, surely he would be upset.
18:40It was an opportunity there.
18:41But it was meant for him.
18:43A wide ball and then this happens.
18:45Ben McDermott this time doesn't miss it.
18:48Sees it a little bit clearer.
18:49It's past the outside edge.
18:51It's a simple stumping for the keeper.
18:54Irfan Khan Niazi went too early.
18:56Abrar finishes off his spell with another wicket.
18:59Three for 23.
19:00It's coming towards the end.
19:01Niazi gone for 33.
19:03One, 29 for seven.
19:08Hamad Azam goes big but not enough.
19:10There's a chance here for another wicket.
19:12Yes, it is.
19:13Hassan Nawaz takes the catch.
19:15And Hamad has to go.
19:17Even if he doesn't like it.
19:23Went to the shortest side.
19:25We just got too much height on it.
19:27Length delivery.
19:31Decent catch by Hassan Nawaz.
19:33And it's been a solid performance from the Gladiators so far.
19:39Hamad Azam gone for six on 29 for eight.
19:47There you go.
19:48A top ball to end the game.
19:50Match number five comes to an end.
19:51And a win.
19:52And first two points for Quetta Gladiators.
19:55Beating Hyderabad Kingsman by 40 runs.
19:59Another big defeat for the new franchise.
20:05Chasing 175.
20:07Didn't get off to a good start.
20:08Lost wickets regularly.
20:09Joseph and Abrar were excellent.
20:11It was 23 from the captain Labushain.
20:1433 from Niazi.
20:17And a difficult day for the Kingsman batsman once again.
20:21The Quetta Gladiators with Abrar getting three for 23.
20:25Bored well in the power play.
20:26And then in the later stage.
20:27Two for Dhanial who is also equally good.
20:30Elzari Joseph.
20:31Tariq and South getting a wicket each.
20:33And that is job done.
20:35Quick look at the summary.
20:36Gladiators decided to bat first.
20:38And they posted 174 with a few hiccups.
20:41When they were batting.
20:43Hyderabad Kingsman 134 for 8.
20:45The margin is 40 runs.
20:46With which they lost this game to the Gladiators.
20:50The worrying part in this points table for Hyderabad.
20:53Would be that net run rate.
20:54They yet to get off the mark in the points table.
20:56But Quetta would be happy to see that number 2.
20:58And also a plus sign to that net run rate.
21:11So long as we get off the screen.
21:16Oh.
21:30Oh.
21:32Oh.
21:32Oh.
21:35Oh.
21:36Oh.
21:37Oh.
21:37Oh.
21:37Oh.
21:38Oh.
21:38Oh.
21:39Oh.
