00:14Oh, my God.
00:56Hello and welcome.
00:57We bring you live action from the Qadhafi Stadium in Lahore of the Season 11 of the HBL PSL.
01:03It is match number four.
01:04It's Multan Sultan taking on Islamabad United.
01:08And the coin toss.
01:10Multan Sultan, the home captain, won the toss and he's elected to have a bowl.
01:17And from an Islamabad point of view, they'd certainly want to look at that top order to really get things
01:22underway.
01:23Mark Chapman in that middle order.
01:25And it's the seam of Fahim Ashraf, Gleason, Mirza.
01:30And Esha that's really going to set up the stalls for Islamabad United from a bowling perspective.
01:36Multan Sultan's, well, they've got new leadership in Ashton Turner.
01:40And the sounds of Australia really rings true here.
01:44And Steve Smith and Joss Felipe, hopefully with Peter Siddle as well, to get them off to a good start.
01:59Shehzad Ghul will take the new ball.
02:02Left arm seamer, he's got a slip in place.
02:04Making his PSL debut, so is Samir.
02:08He's done well, apparently, in the first class season this year.
02:12Shehzad.
02:16Hit through the line and hit away for four.
02:18That'll be the first boundary for Islamabad, courtesy Conway.
02:25What a shot.
02:26There's a fielder there, but he did straight for the maximum.
02:30First six for Islamabad United.
02:36Inside edge.
02:37Very lucky to not get chopped back onto the stumps.
02:41Conway will take all of them.
02:42Another boundary.
02:46Oh, that's a beautiful shot.
02:48Inside out.
02:49Over cover and it gets there.
02:52Oh, that is the shot of the night so far.
02:56Do some analysis with the biomechanics here.
02:59See the leg work and probably more importantly, the shoulders and the arms.
03:05All going towards where he wanted to hit that.
03:07That was a fantastic shot over cover.
03:12In the air, but in the gap.
03:16And we'll get to the boundary.
03:18Stephen Smith out there at deep mid-wicket.
03:20Didn't have a chance.
03:21This outfield is lightning.
03:2341 for none.
03:27Short one and it's smashed away.
03:29There's another six.
03:36Slower ball.
03:37Slashed away.
03:38And it's straight to deep point.
03:39So Siddles amongst the wickets.
03:47And he slapped it straight out to Mohamed Wasm Jr.
03:52Didn't have to move an inch really.
03:54Straight to him.
03:55Good sharp catch.
03:57Important one as well.
03:59Because that means Islamabad United have lost their first wicket.
04:04Conway goes for 26.
04:05It's 48 for one.
04:09Oh, wide.
04:10That is very good bowling.
04:12And it's going to cost him four.
04:14That isn't fair.
04:15He's got an outside edge.
04:22Oh, that's into the gap.
04:23That's a good shot.
04:24Off the back foot.
04:26Enough power to get a boundary to finish off that over.
04:3068 for one.
04:33A battle of repute.
04:34But the spin, the turn, the flight.
04:38Does for Gauss.
04:40Yeah, a much needed breakthrough.
04:43A little bit quick on that previous delivery.
04:46Well, and Gauss, he needed to get a move on.
04:49A little bit of turn.
04:51And that's all that is needed.
04:53Outstanding.
04:54Just the read of the game and assessing what he's trying to do is Gauss.
04:59And another foot.
05:01Well, he's outsmarted him.
05:02Beautiful piece of bowling.
05:06Well, Gauss.
05:08A short stay.
05:09He goes for 11.
05:10Islamabad now 69 for two.
05:15Down the track.
05:16Into the leg side.
05:17In the air.
05:18Chance in the deep.
05:19Wicket for a moment, Kammer.
05:22Well, Islamabad United looking to set up stall in this fourth wicket partnership.
05:29And more importantly, trying to get some momentum back after losing a wicket in the previous over.
05:36Spinner spinning back into the right-hander.
05:38So he sees the opportunity from a match-up point of view.
05:41But unfortunately, doesn't get the middle of it.
05:45And a comfortable catch in the deep.
05:49Yeah, decent innings come to an end.
05:52Manaz, he goes for 28.
05:53Islamabad 75 for three.
05:58On the fall and head down the ground.
06:00A little bit of swerve in the end as it sails over the rope.
06:08Bollam!
06:09The googly this time.
06:10Shadab with a slog sweep.
06:12But Momin Kammer slower.
06:14And the one turning away.
06:18Particularly through Chapman.
06:20And he felt that it's an opportunity really to advance.
06:23Particularly in this over.
06:25But great skills shown by Momin.
06:27The ability to toss it up.
06:29But more importantly, it's the googly that sees the back of the captain for Islamabad United.
06:36It's a brief stay for him.
06:38He goes for four.
06:40Islamabad.
06:40103 for four.
06:45Pulled into the gap.
06:47There's a fielder there.
06:48Another missed field.
06:49Another boundary for Islamabad United.
06:53Momin Kammer, the fielder.
06:58Short and slapped.
07:00Slap straight back pass for a maximum from Mark Chapman.
07:03Nearly takes the cameraman out as well.
07:09Another big shot.
07:11Has this one found the distance?
07:12I don't think so.
07:13Hang time.
07:14Catch taken.
07:15Steve Smith with a great catch on the boundary.
07:18And a crucial wicket in the context of the game.
07:21Nawaz gets Chapman for 40.
07:23A very well-judged catch by a very experienced player.
07:28Smithy.
07:29He took his time.
07:31And then made it look very easy.
07:34The catch.
07:35The ball was for a split second.
07:39Came kind of behind the lights.
07:42So yeah, brilliant effort by Smith.
07:44And now Chapman goes for 40.
07:47Islamabad United.
07:47134 for five.
07:53Has a swipe.
07:54Doesn't have the distance.
07:55Another one bites the dust.
07:57It is Momin and Smith combination this time.
08:01And here the rally goes.
08:03What a wicket at this stage of the game.
08:07On his debut in PSL.
08:09And another very good catch by one of the best fielders in world cricket.
08:17Steve Smith.
08:19Two and two.
08:21At the rally, he passed for 13.
08:24Now, a bit of a trouble for Islamabad United.
08:26134 for six.
08:31Oh, just over.
08:33Mid off.
08:34And gets a boundary off the last delivery of the over.
08:38They needed that.
08:40147 for six.
08:48Another boundary.
08:50So, just a little bit of momentum at the right time.
08:59Good shot.
09:01Steve Smith down at long on.
09:03Could not cut that off.
09:05Shake of the head from Peter Siddle.
09:08Final over.
09:09Waseem Jr.
09:10Into the pitch.
09:11And gone.
09:13Straight to cover.
09:14Sean Masood with the catch.
09:16Imar didn't get any sort of bat on it.
09:18Bottom of the bat.
09:19And a wicket straight away.
09:21Waseem Jr.
09:22Learned from his last deliveries.
09:24I've got to go into the pitch.
09:25Did that.
09:26Tried to skew it over the offside field.
09:31Didn't get a good piece of it.
09:34It was certainly a sting delivery.
09:38At 141 kilometers an hour.
09:41Imad Waseem.
09:42He goes for eight.
09:43It's 160 for seven.
09:48Slower, shorter.
09:49And thumped away.
09:51He just stood there as that ball sailed over the rope.
09:56This is what Faimashr was looking for.
10:01Slower one.
10:02It is hit in the air.
10:04He's had a chance.
10:07Ashton Turner passes it back to Steve Smith.
10:10I think they've completed the catch.
10:12A good catch in the end by the Aussies.
10:15Waseem Jr.
10:15Gets the wicket of the final delivery.
10:1926 for Conway.
10:2128 for Samir.
10:22Chapman 40 of just 21.
10:25And then it was Faimashr.
10:2726 of 17.
10:30171 in the end of their 20 overs.
10:3312 extras though.
10:34Conceded by Multan Sultans.
10:36Multan Sultans.
10:38With the bowling.
10:39Shehzad.
10:40Three overs for 18.
10:41Nawaz one for 32.
10:43Waseem Jr.
10:44Two for 42.
10:45But star of the show.
10:47Home and comer.
10:48Debut PSL.
10:50HBL PSL.
10:51Three for 24.
10:52With left arm.
10:54Wrist spin.
10:56Multan Sultans.
10:57They'll require 172.
10:59On the other side.
11:01We'll see the chase.
11:04That's the target then for Multan Sultans.
11:07172.
11:08And real weight.
11:13Multan off and running.
11:19Picked up and picked up well by Steve Smith.
11:21He picks up his first boundary.
11:27This one's even bigger.
11:28Probably the biggest of the day and the night so far.
11:33A touch too straight.
11:34And a great hit from Steve Smith.
11:39Shadha Khan horizontal across.
11:42That's the first six.
11:43Picked up off Salman Mirza.
11:49Slapped away and straight to the fielder.
11:52Fahim Ashraf takes the catch.
11:54Imad Vaseem celebrates.
11:55Multan lose their first.
11:57Islamabad United certainly needed to see the back of him.
11:59He's been in great touch in the last year.
12:03Trying to elevate it over Madoff.
12:05He does get a lot of it.
12:07But unfortunately doesn't get the elevation he was after.
12:12Well he goes for just the two.
12:14It's 16 for one.
12:20Swept away.
12:21And swept away fine for Felipe off the mark with the boundary.
12:29Oh sound of the bat.
12:32Watch that ball sail into the fence.
12:35And over as well.
12:36Huge strike from Felipe.
12:43Once again the ball will sail over.
12:46It will be maximum twice.
12:48In the over.
12:50The Aussies.
12:50They are taking Salman Mirza on.
12:57This will be another one.
13:00Yes it is.
13:02Thrice in a row in the over.
13:04The over is gone for 20.
13:06And Salman Mirza still has one more delivery left.
13:12Gone straight down the ground.
13:13Is it out?
13:14No.
13:15Couldn't quite get there.
13:17And it's four.
13:20Devin Conway was the fielder.
13:22Good effort.
13:23He was firmly hit that shot.
13:27It's in the air.
13:28And they do get their breakthrough.
13:31It's a shard.
13:33Gets it.
13:33He deserved that.
13:34His ball beautifully was him.
13:35And he gets the star man.
13:37Stephen Smith.
13:38First got ball.
13:39Then single.
13:40And then very good catch in the end by Shadab Khan.
13:45The jumping was on the money.
13:49Right at the right time.
13:51And look at how disappointed Steve is right now.
13:54He was well set.
13:56He was looking dangerous.
13:57But very important wicket for Islamabad United.
14:0131 of 23.
14:0361 for Tuna.
14:07Reverse sweep.
14:08And he gets the gap.
14:10Shahan Masood with a boundary.
14:15Goes reverse again.
14:16This time straight to the man.
14:18Shahan Masood goes.
14:20Shut up.
14:21Cloud strikes.
14:23Sometimes you love a certain shot.
14:26It can be fruitful at times.
14:28And you decide to keep going with it.
14:31It was the wrong one.
14:33He decided to go with it.
14:35But did not get a good piece of it.
14:38And Shahan Masood who hasn't actually played too much cricket of late.
14:42Unfortunately has to depart.
14:44He goes for six.
14:46Sultan Sultan is now 70 for three.
14:51Outside edge.
14:53And the pace that Imad pulls that.
14:55That will race away to the fence.
14:57So the boundary to end the tenth.
14:59It is 83 for three.
15:04Oh big hit.
15:06And it is launched away.
15:07Leg side.
15:08And that has gone all the way.
15:10That is a massive hit.
15:16On ten creators.
15:18Down leg side.
15:19This probably will race away to the boundary.
15:22And that also brings up his 50.
15:26Felipe.
15:2650 of just 32.
15:28Very important innings for Multan Sultan.
15:38Picked up.
15:39And dispatched for four.
15:42Shahadab welcome to the crease.
15:43With a boundary from Turner.
15:46Rashid on the bowling side.
15:47Boundary on the first ball.
15:49Is that straight enough?
15:51He is pleading.
15:53Umpire doesn't think so.
15:57Shahadab wants to have another look.
15:59Shahadab looks very confident.
16:01Let's have a look.
16:05TV Umpire 2 director.
16:07We have a review for LBW.
16:10Original decision not out.
16:13Pitting in line.
16:15Impact in line.
16:17Wicket sitting.
16:18Come on.
16:20Saikat.
16:20You need to reverse your original decision.
16:23You are on screen now.
16:24Make a signal please.
16:26Excellent review.
16:27And on the review confirmation that Shahadab was pleading correctly.
16:30And an extremely timely wicket.
16:33Causes a close to the partnership of 61.
16:36Not after an extremely well played knock.
16:38On HBL PSL debut by Josh Filipe.
16:4055 of 35.
16:45Plan to perfection.
16:47But the edge gets Arafat the boundary.
16:50They'll take them.
16:51All of them.
16:54Oh and that's in the air.
16:56But it's over mid off.
16:57It's going to bounce hard over the rope.
17:00Another four valuable runs.
17:02So it's nearly.
17:06Oh and that is a great shot.
17:09Oh wow.
17:12Over cover for six.
17:16Oh and he wants to finish it quickly.
17:18What about those fast hands through the ball.
17:21Huge end to that over.
17:23161 for four.
17:27Oh he's going to be out.
17:28It was off the toe of the bat.
17:30He was trying to finish it quickly.
17:32I think the damage is done anyway.
17:34That was a very handy innings from Arafat.
17:3725 off 11.
17:39But he's got to go.
17:41Yeah targeting the same area.
17:43That was fruitful for him in the last over.
17:47Length wasn't quite there.
17:49But he had already previously gotten it over mid off.
17:54That swiveled in his hands.
17:56Mark Chapman was there to gobble it up.
18:00As you said Bluey.
18:02He's done the job so far.
18:0425 off 11.
18:06Multan 162 for five.
18:13Oh hit very very well from Ashton Turner.
18:16He's played so well.
18:18Goes to 42 and they just need three now.
18:22169 for five.
18:26And there it is.
18:27Emphatic smash through the covers.
18:32And the Sultans have started their campaign with a very very good run chase here.
18:38In the second game of the double header.
18:42Very very good chase.
18:43And they win by five wickets.
18:47So match four.
18:49Done and dusted.
18:50171 for eight.
18:52Islamabad United posted.
18:54Chapman was very good.
18:5540 off 21.
18:56The young moment.
18:58Just three for 24 off his three overs.
19:01Spin through the middle was very effective for United.
19:04United but in the run chase.
19:05The Multan Sultans get home with eight deliveries to spare.
19:10Philippi very good.
19:1155 off 35.
19:13Ashton Turner also 43.
19:15Not out.
19:16Stephen Smith as well.
19:18Did very well.
19:18Urshad the pick of the bowlers for United and the Multan Sultans win by five wickets.
19:25So everyone's played a game.
19:29So wins to Lahore, Multan, Karachi and Peshawar.
19:34So very good start to them.
19:55Let's go.
20:25Let's go.
20:26Let's go.
20:29Let's go.
20:30Let's go.
20:31Let's go.
20:31Let's go.
20:32Let's go.
