00:02Welcome back for match six here at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
00:07We've had an exciting encounter already and it's match two here today on Super Sunday
00:13and it's the Lahore Calendars up against the Karachi Kings.
00:19Well, the toss a little bit earlier, Lahore Calendars won the toss and they've elected
00:26to bat first. As mentioned, riding high is just the one change for Lahore Calendars.
00:35It's Osama Mir who comes in for Asif Ali. So they've certainly enforced their resources
00:42from a bowling perspective. But as mentioned, they've always looked a good side from a bowling
00:48perspective. The fast bowling resources are certainly a standout for them.
00:55Looks a good side, strong side, extra spinner in. They're playing 11 instead of Asif Ali
01:00and Karachi Kings looking strong as well. Warner, Vaseem, Salman at 3, Saad at 4, Mohin Ali
01:065, Kushnil 6, Azam Khan 7, Abbas Afridi comes in now for Shahzad, Hassan Ali, Zampa and then
01:13Hamzad. Two very good spinners, three in fact and of course three seamers, a good side.
01:32Mohin Ali to start things off.
01:37Gotcha! Straight up in the air. Man under it. Oh, and it's a good effort in the deep.
01:43Mohamad Nassim. Valiant effort.
01:51Khan! Beautifully bowled. Flight to delivery. Bit of drift, bit of turn and nice bounce.
01:58Brilliant effort by Azam Khan behind the stumps. The first blood to Karachi Kings.
02:06A little bit of drift and massive turn. And the keeper does the rest. And a big blow here
02:14for the Lahore calendars. It's the man in form, Faka Zaman, who has to depart. He goes for
02:20one. Lahore, three, four, one. Up in the air. And it's only gonna get a maximum. And it's a beauty.
02:35What a shot from Naeem.
02:42Pulled again. With a lot more conviction this time around. A little bit aerial. There is a man in that
02:48mid-wicket
02:49region. But it stood no chance. Yeah, tries again. Oh my word, what a catch.
02:59We saw him do some really good work in that previous delivery. But on that occasion, even better.
03:07Quicker than you think. But they didn't middle it. He was in his follow through. The ball followed him.
03:12And he kept his eyes on the ball. And in the end, he got hold of it. This is a
03:16brilliant effort by me,
03:17I must say. A very important wicket for Karachi Kings. Naeem tried to pass for 13. Now 28 for two
03:27Lahore calendars.
03:30Oh, backs away. That, in the end, is a great shot. Because that would have thudded in the middle
03:37and leg stump. Handy four runs there. 36 for two after five.
03:46Oh, full toss. Gets the leading edge. That might go away for four runs. And it does just.
03:55That was a teaser.
03:59Well, that's swatted away. All the way. The handy runs.
04:08Oh, that is a long hop. A ranked long hop. And he gets a wicket. Can you believe it?
04:15Hassan Ali takes a very good catch running forward. But it has to be said, that is a huge bonus
04:23for the Kings.
04:26Sure to put this away. Into the pitch. Asked to be hit. Didn't get all of it. But Hassan Ali
04:33has charged in.
04:35Yeah, I'm the man. I'm the man. I'm the man to take this catch. He can't believe it.
04:41Unfortunately, Shafiq has to go. Departs for 33. It's 56 for three.
04:50Very full. Salman Ali Agha thinks that that's hitting. They'll have a discussion.
04:57And he's just thinking that maybe it's going down leg.
05:04Warner. Reviews.
05:07Original DC on, not out.
05:10Pitching in line. Impact in line.
05:13Wicket sitting. We need to change your decision.
05:17Psychic. Standby.
05:19Well, a fantastic review.
05:22Just on the angle, thinking that it might drift down leg.
05:26But no, Salman Ali Agha has a huge wicket.
05:30Iman who played 12 deliveries.
05:34And just when he thought that he'll now take the bowling on, Salman Ali Agha gets him in front.
05:45Oh, that is short. And it has been smoked.
05:50Sikanda Raza has power to burn.
05:56Yeah, that went in the slot.
06:01100 meter six.
06:03Let's have a look at the biomechanics there.
06:05The weight on the back foot.
06:10Sibola goes next side.
06:12And he's hit that well enough for that to sail away.
06:18Getting a 150, 160 will need a lot of effort just like that.
06:22A smashing drive for four.
06:25Another boundary for Sikanda Raza.
06:29Another slow ball. That slap but gone straight to the fielder.
06:33Khushdil Shah makes no mistake. It's a very, very good catch.
06:36And a priceless one. You've got to say that because it's Raza who's been dismissed.
06:42The partnership is growing between these two. 43 of 38.
06:47Slow ball again. Didn't middle eight.
06:48Went straight to the fielder at extra cover.
06:50Khushdil Shah was a very safe fielder.
06:53And the danger man for Karachi Kings depart.
06:57Sikanda Raza goes for 19.
07:00Lahore Karanda is a little under pressure now.
07:03One of five for five.
07:07That's gone all the way for six.
07:10Last time he was out there.
07:11Faced two balls.
07:12Hit two sixes.
07:13Won an award at the post-match presentation.
07:16As a strike force.
07:18And this isn't a bad start at all.
07:21Pretty useful.
07:23That looks out.
07:24Fingers gone up.
07:25He's gone for a review straight away.
07:28I don't think he's going to escape this.
07:30He doesn't even ask anyone.
07:33Original Lucian out.
07:36Pitching in line.
07:37Impact in line.
07:39Wicket sitting.
07:40Stay with your original decision.
07:42Stand by.
07:44You're on screen.
07:45Please signal.
07:46So yeah.
07:47Shaheen Afidi goes.
07:48He took out a funnel.
07:49And then walked out of the stadium.
07:50Before the decision.
07:53That is out.
07:55Yep.
07:56He's got his man.
07:57Not much hesitation there.
07:59For the umpire.
08:01But he's going to take it upstairs.
08:03He's going to review it.
08:04But I don't like his luck.
08:08Original Lucian out.
08:11Pitching in line.
08:12Impact in line.
08:14Wicket sitting.
08:15Stay with your original Lucian fashion.
08:17Stand by.
08:18You're on screen.
08:19Please signal.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Decision is out.
08:21Good decision.
08:22And Sam Amir decided to go upstairs.
08:26Tried to go the ramp shot.
08:27Didn't execute.
08:28Departs for one.
08:29It's 1-1-9 for seven.
08:35Get him.
08:36Gets his man.
08:37That's a beautiful Yorker.
08:39And so he should be happy.
08:40He deserved that.
08:41Great bowling.
08:44And the eighth one goes down.
08:49Almost on that popping crease.
08:52And in the end it was too much to handle.
08:57Sting delivery from Hassan Ali.
09:01Hasibullah departs and
09:03the hope of a big finish.
09:06Well that is also gone.
09:08Hasibullah out for 28.
09:10It's 125 for eight.
09:15Oh slow ball.
09:17Didn't pick it.
09:17This should be out.
09:19Easy catch.
09:20Nine down now.
09:25This is that slow one not picked at all.
09:28He was through the shot and then just almost stopped it as the ball arrived.
09:36Slower delivery got him.
09:37Harris Ralph departs for four and it's 125 now for nine.
09:45Oh another dot ball.
09:48So that is it.
09:49After 20 overs, the Kalandas could only muster up 128 for nine off a difficult surface.
09:56So the Kings, you can see their bench.
09:59Star ecstatic.
10:00Lots of smiles.
10:01Is it going to be enough?
10:02We'll see soon.
10:04Zampa was excellent.
10:07Abdullah Shafiq, the only batter who looked as if he got terms with the pace of the pitch.
10:12He got 33.
10:13Hasibullah, 28.
10:15Sekundaraza, 19.
10:16But in the end, with the help of nine extras, it was just 128 of their 20 overs.
10:23Karachi Kings, Mo and Ali, two for Hamza, two for 14.
10:29And Adam Zampa as well, two for 11.
10:31Everyone contributing with the wickets column.
10:35There you go.
10:36The Karachi Kings are going to be chasing 129.
10:41So it'll be captain to captain.
10:43There's David Warner and he's on strike.
10:45He's going to be facing Shaheen Afridi.
10:48Here we go.
10:52Oh, just, oh, he had to dive.
10:55David Warner gets the single in the end, but it was a little bit happening with that delivery.
11:03Well, that smashed for six.
11:04I think one bounce over the rope.
11:06That's a longer fence over there, but what a connection.
11:09Sweetly timed.
11:14Oh, and he's got his man.
11:16Captain to captain.
11:18And he's got David Warner.
11:20That is a huge breakthrough.
11:22Little back foot punch.
11:23Strike the short cover.
11:27This was a hard length delivery and just a mare push.
11:30Nothing more than that.
11:32And straight down the throat of Sekundar Razao is absolutely ecstatic.
11:37And this is a major breakthrough.
11:39This really is priceless stuff.
11:40They needed to get rid of dangerous Warner.
11:44A disappointing end for him.
11:46And it's ten for one.
11:51Oh, short ball.
11:52This will be out as well.
11:54Simple, simple catch.
11:56Afridi is on fire.
11:59Indeed he is.
12:02Good attacking stuff from Shaina Afridi.
12:06Earlier ball was dropped at shot point.
12:09This time the keeper made no mistake.
12:11A half-hearted attempted pull shot.
12:14And somebody needs to console her.
12:16He's gutted.
12:18So, a block for him and it's ten for two.
12:21We have a game on.
12:26Short and put away.
12:29That was probably the first loose delivery that we've seen from the two opening bowlers.
12:38Short and put away.
12:41That is not what you want to do when you come in after such a wonderful opening bowling partnership.
12:49Moves around the crease and gets it in the area he wants.
12:54Another boundary.
12:59Short pulled into the gap.
13:03Boundary on the first ball again.
13:05He is putting some pressure on Karachi on Lahore Calunders.
13:09Saad Beg is on 15 now.
13:14Edged.
13:15And gone.
13:17Well again the pace from Lahore Calunders has been able to strike and breaks this partnership.
13:25That's what happens when you bowl very good slow ball.
13:28This was the quickest slow ball.
13:30Reverse scramble scream.
13:31It didn't turn.
13:32And that's why he's so good.
13:34He's got an important wicket right now at this stage of the game.
13:38For his team.
13:39Most of the feasor.
13:40Saad Beg looked good.
13:42For his 19 of 21.
13:46KK now 39 for three.
13:51Short and pulled away and pulled away hard.
13:55That goes to the boundary in a whisker.
14:01That's hit hard.
14:02Straight back.
14:04Probably one bounce over the rope.
14:05That's a nice way to begin the over.
14:07Vaseem we know is a heavyweight when it comes to eating the ball hard.
14:13Ape show with a cover fielder for four into the fence.
14:17Powered very nicely.
14:19Good timing.
14:24That's scooped up in the air.
14:26May just go all the way it does.
14:27Beautifully timed.
14:29Once again an attempt to dig the ball.
14:32Shorten.
14:36That's gone up in the air.
14:38This could be it.
14:38The partnership is taken care of by Shaheen Shalfrey.
14:42The soft dismissal.
14:43Once again trying that ramp.
14:45This time goes straight down the lap of the fielder at third.
14:49He knew they needed a wicket.
14:51First ball.
14:52Short.
14:53Followed the batsman.
14:54The idea was to go over third man fielder.
14:56Didn't middle it.
14:57Went straight to Sam Amir.
14:59Easy catch.
15:00And a crucial wicket.
15:01When you talk about leading from the front.
15:04He does it beautifully.
15:05Shaheen Shafridi.
15:06That's his third wicket now.
15:09Mohamed Vaseem.
15:10Departs for 38.
15:11Karachi Kings 82 for four now.
15:17Shot that's gone up in the air.
15:19Oh!
15:19How could you miss that?
15:24Well that is extremely poor.
15:29Bullet fielder.
15:31Another chance.
15:32Sikandar Raza.
15:33Is he going to take this one?
15:34He makes no mistake.
15:35Tumbles over.
15:37It's Moynalli who's gone.
15:39Trying his luck at hitting a six.
15:42And this is brilliant.
15:43This really has been one awesome bullying spell from Shaheen Shafridi.
15:47Picks up his fourth.
15:48He's picked up the two set batters.
15:50Broke the partnership.
15:52And now Moynalli.
15:54Tries to clear the fence.
15:56Thought it was there to go.
16:00134 kilometers.
16:01So just a slightly slower delivery.
16:04And all of a sudden.
16:05Lahore Kalundas are back in it.
16:07Moynalli goes for 18.
16:09It's 88 for five.
16:13Oh hit straight and hard.
16:16Absolute tracer bullet.
16:18They needed that.
16:20Well played Azam Khan.
16:21To round out that over.
16:28Yeah nicely played.
16:29He's been trying to muscle it on the leg side.
16:32On a few occasions.
16:34Recognizing that they're gonna.
16:39Oh and hit.
16:40But it's straight to the fielder.
16:42Is it inside?
16:43Oh he's kept his balance.
16:45That is brilliant.
16:48Raza it is out there.
16:50Did so well not to go over the rope.
16:55There is a slight boundary check.
16:57But you feel that the animation.
17:00And the escalation in the body language tells the story that he's done a fantastic job.
17:05It inside.
17:06Yes.
17:06I'm satisfied to make my decision for the big screen.
17:09We're no doubt gonna see the red colors of E-O-U-T.
17:16Well.
17:18The drama continues.
17:20Kushjul Shah he goes for 13.
17:22KK 120 for six.
17:27Oh hit very very hard.
17:30And that'll be a boundary.
17:31Oh it's nearly taken Harris Ralph out with it.
17:34But it's gone for four valuable runs.
17:37They are up and about.
17:41Slower ball and smoked.
17:44That is it.
17:46What a way to ice that game.
17:48Abbas Afridi with a clean hit.
17:52It was the slower ball from Harris Ralph.
17:56And it has disappeared.
17:58What a game we've had.
17:59A thrilling low score game.
18:02But Abbas Afridi.
18:05Two deliveries.
18:06A boundary and a six.
18:07And that means that Karachi Kings win in the final over.
18:12Win by four wickets.
18:15And there's confirmation of that batting card.
18:18It's been hard fought.
18:20Runner ball stuff.
18:21And it was up to Abbas Afridi who came in at the back end in that last over.
18:27With high drama to hit two boundaries.
18:30To clinch the victory for the Karachi Kings.
18:34Yeah led well by the captain Shahin Shah Afridi.
18:37He got crucial breakthroughs.
18:39And when any sort of breakthrough was needed in the back end as well.
18:42Four for 18 for him.
18:44He'll be really pleased.
18:45And Mustafa Azour was really good as well.
18:47But unfortunately in the end 128 was just not enough.
18:53So what a game we've seen.
18:55Match six in the second of the double headers here on Sunday.
19:00Lahore Kalandas on 28 for nine off there.
19:0320 overs.
19:04It was a tough run chase.
19:05But the Karachi Kings get home with three deliveries to spare.
19:09And win by four wickets and an absolute cracker.
19:13Let's have a look at the points table.
19:15And as you can see Karachi undefeated.
19:19That's a huge win.
19:20Lahore has got a great net run rate of early days of course.
19:23In if you look at the Streets.
19:33Yes!
19:37To be seeing Karachi Blues.
19:38In the future, once, you would be watching the comparisons they get home with three more people corresponding damages.
19:39The Guardians of the Commonwealth.
19:39Yeah.
19:39The U Staff.
19:41The 20 meat.
19:48And the time of produto.
19:49Oh.
19:52Oh!
