00:14Oh, my God.
00:55Welcome back for match six.
00:57Yeah, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
01:00We've had an exciting encounter already and it's match two here today on Super Sunday
01:06and it's the Lahore Calendars up against the Karachi Kings.
01:11Well, the toss a little bit earlier.
01:14Lahore Calendars won the toss and they've elected to bat first.
01:21As mentioned, riding high is just the one change for Lahore Calendars.
01:27It's Osama Mir who comes in for Asif Ali.
01:31So they've certainly enforced their resources from a bowling perspective.
01:36But as mentioned, they've always looked a good side from a bowling perspective.
01:41Their fast bowling resources are certainly a standout for them.
01:47Looks a good side, strong side, extra spinner in.
01:50They're playing 11 instead of Asif Ali.
01:53And Karachi Kings looking strong as well.
01:55Warner, Vaseem, Salman at three, Saad at four, Moeen Ali five, Khusnil six,
02:00Azam Khan seven, Abbas Afridi comes in now for Shahzad, Hassan Ali, Zampa and then Hamzad.
02:06Two very good spinners, three in fact, and of course, three seamers, a good side.
02:24Moeen Ali to start things off.
02:29Straight up in the air.
02:32Men under it.
02:33Oh, and it's a good effort in the deep.
02:36Mohamed Nassim, valiant effort.
02:44Khan, beautifully bowled, flight to delivery, bit of drift, bit of turn and nice bounce.
02:50Brilliant effort by Azam Khan behind the stumps.
02:53The first blood to Karachi Kings.
02:58A little bit of drift and massive turn.
03:02And the keeper does the rest.
03:04And a big blow here for the Lahore calendars.
03:07It's the man in form, Fakir Zaman, who has to depart.
03:11He goes for one.
03:13Lahore, three for one.
03:17Up in the air.
03:20And it's only going to get a maximum.
03:24And it's a beauty.
03:27What a shot from Naeem.
03:34Pulled again.
03:35With a lot more conviction this time around.
03:38A little bit aerial.
03:39There is a man in that mid-wicket region.
03:42But it stood no chance.
03:46Yeah, tries again.
03:48Oh my word, what a catch.
03:51We saw him do some really good work in that previous delivery.
03:55But on that occasion, even better.
03:59Quicker than you think.
04:00But they didn't middle it.
04:01He was in his follow-through.
04:03The ball followed him.
04:04And he kept his eyes on the ball.
04:06And in the end, he got hold of it.
04:08This is a brilliant effort by me, Hamza.
04:10I must say.
04:11A very important wicket for Karachi Kings.
04:16Naeem tried to pass for 13.
04:19Now 28 for two Lahore calendars.
04:23Oh, backs away.
04:24That, in the end, is a great shot.
04:27Because that would have thudded in the middle and leg stump.
04:31Handy four runs there.
04:3336 for two after five.
04:38Oh, full toss.
04:40Gets the leading edge.
04:42That might go away for four runs.
04:44And it does just.
04:47That was a teaser.
04:51Well, that's swatted away.
04:54All the way.
04:56The hand he runs.
05:00Oh, that is a long hop.
05:02A ranked long hop.
05:04And he gets a wicket.
05:06Can you believe it?
05:07Hassan Ali takes a very good catch running forward.
05:11But it has to be said,
05:13that is a huge bonus.
05:16For the Kings.
05:18Should have put this away.
05:20Into the pitch.
05:22Asked to be hit.
05:23Didn't get all of it.
05:24But Hassan Ali has charged in.
05:27Yep, I'm the man.
05:29I'm the man to take this catch.
05:31He can't believe it.
05:33Unfortunately, Shafiq has to go.
05:36Departs for 33.
05:37It's 56 for three.
05:42Very full.
05:44Salman Ali Ava thinks.
05:45And that's hitting.
05:47They'll have a discussion.
05:50And he's just thinking that maybe it's going down leg.
05:55Warner.
05:57Reviews.
06:11Well, a fantastic review.
06:14Just on the angle.
06:16Just on the angle.
06:17Thinking that it might drift down leg.
06:19But no.
06:19Salman Ali Aaga.
06:20Has a huge wicket.
06:23Iman who played 12 deliveries.
06:26And just when he thought that he'll now take the bowling on.
06:31Salman Ali Aaga gets him in front.
06:37Oh, that is short.
06:39And it has been smoked.
06:42Sikandar Raza has power to burn.
06:49Yeah, that went in the slot.
06:53100 meter six.
06:55Let's have a look at the biomechanics there.
06:58The weight on the back foot.
07:02Asebo La goes next side.
07:04And he's hit that well enough for that to sail away.
07:10Getting a 150-160 will need a lot of effort just like that.
07:14A smashing drive for four.
07:17Another boundary for Sikandar Raza.
07:21Another slow ball.
07:22That slap.
07:23But gone straight to the fielder.
07:25Khush Dilsha makes no mistake.
07:26It's a very, very good catch.
07:29And a priceless one.
07:30You've got to say that.
07:31Because it's Raza who's been dismissed.
07:34The partnership is growing between these two.
07:3743 of 38.
07:39Slow ball again.
07:40Didn't middle it.
07:41Went straight to the fielder at extra cover.
07:42Khush Dilsha.
07:43Who's a very safe fielder.
07:45And the danger man for Karachi Kings departs.
07:49Sikandar Raza goes for 19.
07:53Lahore Karanda's a little under pressure now.
07:55One of five for five.
08:00That's gone all the way for six.
08:02Last time he was out there.
08:04Face two balls.
08:04Hit two sixes.
08:06Won an award at the post-match presentation.
08:09As a strike force.
08:10And this isn't a bad start at all.
08:14Pretty useful.
08:15That looks out.
08:16Fingers gone up.
08:18He's gone for a review straight away.
08:20I don't think he's going to escape this.
08:23He doesn't even ask anyone.
08:26Original decision out.
08:28Pitching in line.
08:29Impact in line.
08:31Wicket sitting.
08:32Stay with your original decision.
08:34Stand by.
08:36You're on screen.
08:37Please signal.
08:38So yeah.
08:39Shaheen Arfidi goes.
08:41He took out a funnel.
08:41And then walked out of the stadium before the decision.
08:46Oh that is out.
08:47Yep.
08:48He's got his man.
08:49Not much hesitation there.
08:52For the umpire.
08:53But he's going to take it upstairs.
08:55He's going to review it.
08:56But I don't like his luck.
09:00Original decision out.
09:03Pitching in line.
09:04Impact in line.
09:06Wicket sitting.
09:07Stay with your original decision.
09:09Faisal.
09:09Stand by.
09:10You're on screen.
09:11Please signal.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Decision is out.
09:13Good decision.
09:15Nsam Amir.
09:16Decided to go upstairs.
09:18Tried to go the ramp shot.
09:19Didn't execute.
09:20Departs for one.
09:21It's 1-1-9 for seven.
09:27Get him.
09:28Gets his man.
09:29That's a beautiful Yorker.
09:31And so he should be happy.
09:33He deserved that great bowling.
09:36And the eighth one goes down.
09:42Almost on that popping crease.
09:45And in the end it was too much to handle.
09:49Sting delivery from Hassan Ali.
09:53Hassan Ali.
09:54Hassan Ali departs.
09:54And the hope of a big finish.
09:59Well that is also gone.
10:00Hassan Ali out for 28.
10:02It's 125 for eight.
10:07Oh slow ball.
10:09Didn't pick it.
10:10This should be out.
10:11Easy catch.
10:13Nine down now.
10:18This is that slow one.
10:19Not picked at all.
10:20He was through the shot.
10:21And then just almost stopped it as the ball arrived.
10:28Slower delivery got him.
10:30Harris-Ralph departs for four.
10:32And it's 125 now for nine.
10:38Oh another dot ball.
10:40So that is it.
10:41After 20 overs.
10:43The Kalandas could only muster up 128 for nine off a difficult surface.
10:49So the Kings you can see their bench.
10:51They are ecstatic.
10:52Lots of smiles.
10:53Is it going to be enough?
10:54We'll see soon.
10:57Zampa was excellent.
10:59Abdullah Shafiq.
11:00The only batter who looked as if he got terms with the pace of the pitch.
11:04She got 33.
11:05Hasibullah 28.
11:07Seconder has a 19.
11:08But in the end, with the help of nine extras, it was just 128 of their 20 overs.
11:15Karachi Kings.
11:17Mo and Ali.
11:18Two for Hamza.
11:19Two for 14.
11:21And Adam Zampa as well.
11:22Two for 11.
11:23But everyone contributing with the wickets column.
11:27There you go.
11:28The Karachi Kings are going to be chasing 129.
11:33So it'll be captain to captain.
11:35There's David Warner.
11:36And he's on strike.
11:37He's going to be facing Shaheen Afridi.
11:40Here we go.
11:44Oh, just.
11:45Oh, he had to dive.
11:47David Warner gets the single in the end.
11:50But there was a little bit happening with that delivery.
11:55Oh, that smashed for six.
11:57I think one bounce over the rope.
11:58That's a longer fence over there.
11:59But what a connection.
12:01Sweetly timed.
12:06Oh, and he's got his man.
12:09Captain the captain.
12:10And he's got David Warner.
12:12That is a huge breakthrough.
12:14Little back foot punch.
12:16Strike the short cover.
12:19This was a hard length delivery.
12:21And just Amir pushed nothing more than that.
12:24And straight down the throat of Sikandar Razao's absolutely ecstatic.
12:29And this is a major breakthrough.
12:31This really is priceless stuff.
12:32They needed to get rid of dangerous Warner.
12:37Disappointing end for him.
12:39And it's ten for one.
12:43Oh, short ball.
12:44This will be out as well.
12:46Simple, simple catch.
12:48Afridi is on fire.
12:52Indeed he is.
12:55Good attacking stuff from Shaina Afridi.
12:58Earlier ball was dropped at shot point.
13:01This time the keeper made no mistake.
13:03A half-hearted attempted pull shot.
13:06And somebody needs to console her.
13:08He's gutted.
13:10So a block for him.
13:12And it's ten for two.
13:13We have a game on.
13:18Short and put away.
13:21That was probably the first loose delivery that we've seen from the two opening bowlers.
13:30Short and put away.
13:34That is not what you want to do when you come in after such a wonderful opening bowling partnership.
13:41Moves around the crease and gets it in the area he wants.
13:46Another boundary.
13:52Short pulled into the gap.
13:55Boundary on the first ball again.
13:57He is putting some pressure on Karachi on Lahore Kalunders.
14:01Saad Beg is on 15 now.
14:07Edged.
14:08And gone.
14:10Well again the pace from Lahore Kalunders has been able to strike and breaks this partnership.
14:17That's what happens when you bowl very good slow ball.
14:20This was the quickest slow ball.
14:22Reverse scramble scream.
14:24It didn't turn.
14:25And that's why he's so good.
14:27He's got an important wicket right now at this stage of the game.
14:30For his team.
14:31Most of the fissure.
14:32Saad Beg looked good.
14:34For his 19 of 21.
14:38KK now 39 for 3.
14:44Short and pulled away.
14:45And pulled away hard.
14:47That goes to the boundary in a whisker.
14:54That's hit hard.
14:55Straight back.
14:56Probably one bounce over the rope.
14:58That's a nice way to begin the over.
15:00Vaseem we know is a heavyweight when it comes to hitting the ball hard.
15:06Up a show with a cover fielder for 4 into the fence.
15:09Powered very nicely.
15:11Good timing.
15:16That scooped up in the air.
15:18May just go all the way it does.
15:20Beautifully timed.
15:21Once again an attempt to dig the ball.
15:24Shorten.
15:28That's gone up in the air.
15:30This could be it.
15:31The partnership is taken care of by Shaheen Shafri.
15:35The soft dismissal.
15:36Once again trying that ramp.
15:38This time goes straight down the lap of the fielder at third.
15:42He knew that he needed a wicket.
15:44First ball.
15:45Shot.
15:45Followed the batsman.
15:46The idea was to go over third man fielder.
15:48Didn't middle it.
15:49Went straight to Sam Amir.
15:51Easy catch.
15:52And a crucial wicket.
15:54When you talk about leading from the front.
15:56He does it beautifully.
15:58Shaheen Shafri.
15:59That's his third wicket now.
16:01Mohamed Vaseem.
16:02Departs for 38.
16:04Karachi Kings 82 for 4 now.
16:09Shot that's gone up in the air.
16:11Oh how could you miss that?
16:16Well that is extremely poor.
16:21Bullet fielder.
16:23Another chance.
16:24Sikandar Raza.
16:25Is he going to take this one?
16:26He makes no mistake.
16:27Tumbles over.
16:29It's Moyneli who's gone.
16:31Trying his luck at hitting a 6.
16:34And this is brilliant.
16:35This really has been one awesome bowling spell from Shaheen Shafri.
16:39He picks up his fourth.
16:40He's picked up the two set batters.
16:43Broke the partnership.
16:44And now Mohamed Ali tries to clear the fence.
16:48Thought it was there to go.
16:52134 kilometres so just a slightly slower delivery.
16:57And all of a sudden Lahore Kalundas are back in it.
17:00Mohamed Ali goes for 18.
17:01It's 88 for 5.
17:05Oh, hit straight and hard.
17:09Absolute tracer bullet.
17:10They needed that.
17:12Well played as Am Khan to round out that over.
17:20Yeah, nicely played.
17:22He's been trying to muscle it on the leg side on a few occasions.
17:26Recognising that they're going to...
17:31Oh, and hit.
17:33But it's straight to the fielder.
17:34Is it inside?
17:36Oh, he's kept his balance.
17:38That is brilliant.
17:41Raza it is out there.
17:43Did so well not to go over the rope.
17:47There is a slight boundary check.
17:49But you feel that the animation
17:52and the escalation in the body language
17:54tells the story that he's done a fantastic job.
17:57It's inside, yes.
17:59I'm satisfied to make my decision for the big screen.
18:02We're no doubt going to see
18:04the red colours of E-O-U-T.
18:10Well, the drama continues.
18:12Kushjul Shah, he goes for 13.
18:14KK, 120 for six.
18:19Oh, hit very, very hard.
18:22And that'll be a boundary.
18:24Oh, it's nearly taken Harris-Ralph out with it.
18:27But it's gone for four valuable runs.
18:29They are up and about.
18:33Slower ball and smoked.
18:37That is it.
18:38What a way to ice that game.
18:41Abasa Fridi with a clean hit.
18:44It was a slower ball from Harris-Ralph
18:48and it has disappeared.
18:50What a game we've had.
18:52A thrilling low score game.
18:55But Abasa Fridi.
18:57Two deliveries, a boundary and a six.
19:00And that means that Karachi Kings
19:02win in the final over.
19:04Win by four wickets.
19:08And there's confirmation of that batting card.
19:11It's been hard fought, runnable stuff.
19:14And it was up to Abasa Fridi who came in at the back end in that last over
19:19with high drama to hit two boundaries to clinch the victory for the Karachi Kings.
19:26Yeah, led well by the captain, Shaheen Shah Fridi.
19:29He got crucial breakthroughs.
19:31And when any sort of breakthrough was needed in the back end as well,
19:35four for 18 for him, he'll be really pleased.
19:37And Mustafa Azur was really good as well.
19:40But unfortunately, in the end, 128 was just not enough.
19:45So, what a game we've seen.
19:47Match six in the second of the doubleheaders here on Sunday.
19:52Lahore Calandas on 28 for nine off there.
19:5520 overs.
19:56It was a tough run chase.
19:57But the Karachi Kings get home with three deliveries to spare
20:01and win by four wickets and an absolute cracker.
20:05Let's have a look at the points table.
20:08And as you can see, Karachi undefeated.
20:11That's a huge win.
20:12Lahore has got a great net run rate.
20:14Early days, of course.
20:44Oh!
20:46Oh!
20:59Oh!
21:01Oh!
21:03Oh!
21:04Oh!
21:05Oh!
21:05Oh!
21:06Oh!
21:07Oh!
21:07Oh!
21:07Oh!
21:07Oh!
21:08Oh!
21:09Oh!
21:09Oh!
21:09Oh!
21:10Oh!
21:11Oh!
21:12Oh!
21:13You
