00:07Let's go.
00:55And a very warm welcome to all the viewers all around the world
00:58for this great contest, Pindies versus Karachi Kings, live from Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
01:06Karachi Kings, who won the toss and elected to field first.
01:11The two teams there, Karachi Kings, have gone with the same side.
01:15Ravel Pindies have made two changes.
01:18It's McConkie and Muhammad Amir Khan, who come back in the playing 11.
01:34Three, two, one. Let's play.
01:43HBL PSL Gyara. Here we go.
01:47Cut shot into the gap for four.
01:49That's the kind of pitch that the bowlers will have to deal with.
01:52And it's Moyni Ali. A little short, no spin back into the stumps and put away quite nicely.
02:01That's another four. Into the gap.
02:04Lovely piece of batting.
02:06Very clever with his wrists this time.
02:12Yeah, he's good with the sweep shot.
02:14Oh, that's Miss Field.
02:17And I was just about to say third boundary of the over.
02:19That's pretty messy from Afridi.
02:25Big shot. Straight up.
02:27It's going to be a tough one.
02:28This really has gone up in the air.
02:30Plenty of time to see it and grass it.
02:36Who's the culprit?
02:37I think it's Afridi again.
02:42Yeah, nice one through the offside.
02:45It's really good with that shot.
02:47A square drive.
02:51And he's gloved it and he's gone.
02:54Good slippery delivery.
02:56The fingers gone up.
02:57Hassel Ali airstruck.
02:59Rezvan was running into good form.
03:0121 of just 13.
03:03And his stay was a short one this time.
03:08Yeah, 133 kilometers an hour.
03:10The line was a little bit more to the front shoulder.
03:14He tried to get on the inside of it.
03:16But again, it rushed him.
03:17By the time he came around, it was the glove.
03:21So, Mohamed Rezvan, he departs for 21.
03:24Score is 28 for one.
03:32And what a change.
03:34Superb change.
03:37Yasser losing the plot.
03:39And he wanted to hit it out of the park.
03:41Didn't connect at all.
03:42Good delivery.
03:43Hard length.
03:44Ball within the stumps.
03:47Yeah, and it's also the field placement.
03:49Everyone on the offside is up.
03:52So, let's move around the crease to see if we can open up that area.
03:56Then I'll slow it down even more.
03:59Bowling at that leg stump line.
04:00Yashif Khan goes for eight.
04:02He was the leading run scorer in the first game.
04:06Now, all of a sudden, Raul Pindi is 33 for two.
04:12He's got a top edge.
04:13He'll be safe.
04:14Probably more runs that will carry it.
04:16No, just short.
04:17But he'll take that boundary.
04:19Five overs gone.
04:20It is 41 for two.
04:26He's got hold of that.
04:27That's a proper shot.
04:29He's gone all the way with that.
04:32Cameron Gholam.
04:33In fact, it's Mitchell.
04:38A leading edge.
04:39And doesn't help the baller.
04:41And you've got to just absorb that.
04:44Boundary.
04:46Power play is done.
04:47And the score is now 55 for two.
04:52Oh, it's gone right through.
04:54Didn't bounce enough and probably just went way too deep in the crease.
04:58And the ball just rushes through.
05:01The owners are happy.
05:02And so is Karachi Kings.
05:07Wicket to wicket to wicket again.
05:10Slow-ish again.
05:13Kushto Shah has found the pace to bowl on this wicket.
05:16It seems to be a good wicket.
05:18Kushto Shah didn't make Kamran Dalum.
05:21Sorry, didn't make the most of it.
05:22He's gone for 10.
05:2255 for three.
05:27Now, huge.
05:28That is an absolute monster.
05:32Into the Gaddafi Stadium stands it goes.
05:39Reverse.
05:41And...
05:41Missfield.
05:43Well...
05:44That's a mad one.
05:49Goes big again.
05:51And on the bounce over the fence.
05:53So it's working extremely well for Billings.
05:56This partnership now galloping at a good pace.
06:02Straight shot.
06:03Beautifully hit.
06:04That is such a classical straight four from Darryl Mitchell.
06:08Big over for Ravel Pindis.
06:1019 from it.
06:11117 for three.
06:15Gets ramped for runs.
06:17Four.
06:18Good thinking.
06:19Change of pace.
06:21First ball.
06:21It's gone for four.
06:26Oh, that's crash into the fence.
06:30Stood back.
06:31Hit it hard.
06:36Yeah, that's hit hard.
06:37Oh, that's a 50.
06:39Terrific innings.
06:41He had to look after the innings.
06:42Then look after himself.
06:44And then amp it up.
06:46And he's aced a great 50.
06:48You've got to say that.
06:52Yeah, here's a full toss.
06:53That's gone all the way for six.
06:55And that's the danger of bowling a Yorker.
06:58You've got to get it absolutely right.
07:01And this time a full toss and nailed by Darryl Mitchell.
07:07Yeah, lovely shot.
07:09Really very well played in the end.
07:12Flake over square leg played the field.
07:15Four to Indio.
07:16Well, 154 for the loss of three.
07:21Moves across and finds the leg side comfortably.
07:26Sam Billings is very clever and moving laterally across his crease.
07:34Another full toss.
07:36Does he get it in the gap?
07:37You bet he does get it in the gap.
07:39Another half century for Sam Billings.
07:41His fourth in HBL PSL.
07:44Two for Lahore.
07:45One for Islamabad.
07:46And now one for his new franchise.
07:52Getting into that gap.
07:53But he may have got too much.
07:55Missed it.
07:57Literally, Moinelli thought that he'd got it all the ground covered.
08:01Whether it came out of floodlight, I don't think it did.
08:07Last five overs make that 78.
08:1478.
08:14They are flying at the moment.
08:17Easily, they're going to get to 200.
08:22So is that a perfect length?
08:24Absolutely top of off stump.
08:26And the stare.
08:27And the send-off.
08:29Hassan Ali at his best.
08:31But what an innings from Sam Billings.
08:33There's a bit of joviality right now.
08:36But he'd be happy to get rid of Billings.
08:38What an innings.
08:40Yeah, great delivery to dismiss Sam Billings.
08:42Who's played his hand right.
08:4458 of 35.
08:46And hit top of off.
08:47And that's exactly what Hassan Ali's done.
08:51Says something to the keeper.
08:53And then a bit of a send-off to Sam Billings as well.
08:57They've got the Ravel Pindis in a great spot now.
09:00175 for Billings.
09:01Goes for 58.
09:06High and handsome.
09:08What a shot.
09:10A massive six right in his arc.
09:14Take that, Hassan Ali.
09:16Finishes the 18th.
09:18181 for four.
09:21His last over being expensive up to now.
09:24Crash down the ground.
09:25He hasn't got this.
09:26He hasn't got it at all.
09:27Simple catch in the end.
09:29And another good innings comes to the end.
09:31Daryl Mitchell falls to 65.
09:35Samir Hamza bangs this one in.
09:38Just high on the back.
09:39Splice there for Daryl Mitchell.
09:41Sting delivery.
09:43Closed the curtains on Daryl Mitchell's innings.
09:45Good catch from Mohamed Vassim on the boundary.
09:4865 well-made knock.
09:50Three big sixes in there as well.
09:5241 deliveries.
09:54Good timely strikes here by the Kings.
09:56181 for five.
09:57It starts to be over.
09:58This.
09:59Just three from it now.
10:00But that is right in his wheelhouse.
10:02What a shot from this 23-year-old from Karachi.
10:06Two sixes now.
10:12Pulled him.
10:14Yeah, he likes that.
10:16The Karachi Kings like that.
10:18Cole McConkie might not.
10:20Another one goes down.
10:24This one into the pitch a little bit more.
10:26Swipes across the line.
10:28Dominic Cork is shaking his head saying,
10:31you shouldn't be on strike.
10:34Well, he's not.
10:36He's out now.
10:37Now, unfortunately for McConkie,
10:40his first outing with the bat,
10:43only two runs.
10:44It's 192 for six.
10:49Oh, he's a little bit unlucky.
10:51But a boundary for Vassal.
10:53He's back on strike.
10:55So he gets that boundary to finish off 20 overs.
10:59And Raul Pindy's finished with 197 for six.
11:05Despite losing a couple of wickets early on,
11:08that 100-odd run partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Sam Billings was excellent.
11:1465 for Mitchell off 41 deliveries.
11:16Sam Billings, 58 off 35.
11:20David Warner would be happy with the start and how they went.
11:24But then that middle period, they struggled a little bit.
11:26Mirham's a little bit expensive.
11:28Two wickets for Kushtil, which is excellent.
11:31But the man of the moment again, Hassan Ali.
11:33Four overs, 14 dot deliveries, three for 24.
11:38For Raul Pindy's, they are looking for their first win.
11:41It will be the Karachi Kings who will require 180 to win.
11:48Here we go.
11:49He starts with a slip to Mohamed Vassim.
11:54Off the edge, gets into an awkward position.
11:57Great shape on that.
12:00Nonetheless, the Karachi Kings off running with a four.
12:07In the slot and belted through the offside.
12:12Vassim picks up a much controlled four this time.
12:20Oh, crunched.
12:22Everyone watches this sail.
12:24It's still going.
12:25And it goes into the Raul Pindy's.
12:28But if you're going to only go a pace on,
12:31even when it's sitting in the stump,
12:32then batters can set up for it like that.
12:35And I mean, no one is catching that.
12:37Not deep square, not deep mid.
12:39But it gives you a chance to mess with your swing.
12:46Guess where that's going.
12:48All the way for six again.
12:51So the no ball, the free hit, all of it hurting the Raul Pindy's.
12:58Pulled him.
12:59He chops it on.
13:01It's a change of pace.
13:03The cutter into the service.
13:05And Nassim Shah has the last laugh.
13:08Spork about keeping the stumps in play.
13:11Not sure that was a change of pace.
13:14Maybe just an under edge.
13:17He's committed to that length, Nassim Shah.
13:20He's gone three-quarter.
13:21Nassim has been rewarded.
13:23He's tried something.
13:24It's worked.
13:25Mahmoud Wazim, 23.
13:27Karachi Kings, 27 for one.
13:32He gets one in the middle.
13:34And this one will find the fence.
13:37A touch too straight.
13:38A touch too full.
13:39And he does get bat on ball in the Enselman Ali Agha.
13:45To keep going at that length.
13:47Wasn't timed.
13:49But timed well enough.
13:52Wow.
13:54Just shows you how fast the outfield is as well.
14:00Change of pace.
14:02Extremely sober.
14:03David Warner.
14:04Effective and up to the task.
14:06Weighted and just hit it over third.
14:14Trying, cheeky, funky.
14:16And the finger goes up.
14:18None of that works for Salman Ali Agha.
14:20However, for Mitchell, he has his first wicket in the HBL PSL 11.
14:26He's not had the pace for that shot.
14:28But it's...
14:30Also good watching of the batter from Darrell Mitchell.
14:34Saw the dink come out.
14:36Threw it wider.
14:38Unrewarded.
14:39Nice little wink.
14:4070 for two.
14:42Karachi Kings.
14:47Brilliant.
14:48Execution placement.
14:50The entire package here from Warner.
14:53Picks up four on the first delivery here to Rishad Hussain.
15:00Short and belted.
15:02That's in his wheelhouse.
15:04Azam Khan knew the free hit was on.
15:06And he makes full use of that.
15:12Big grunt.
15:14But the slap back from Warner is even better.
15:1727 of 19.
15:18Picking up pace here for the Karachi Kings.
15:25Well, this will be another one.
15:27A great big hit from David Warner.
15:29His first six off the night.
15:32And brings up the hundred for Karachi Kings as well.
15:36And the chase is on.
15:41Has he got enough on it?
15:43Yes, he does.
15:44Much needed from Azam's bat.
15:46Something you just spoke about.
15:48You can't leave everything to Warner.
15:49And that will help.
15:55There will be another boundary here.
15:57Just opening the face and running it down.
16:00So valuable 10 runs.
16:01Got to make some changes in the field now, Mohamed Ahmed.
16:0550 partnership here between Warner and Azam Khan.
16:14And it's gone a long distance.
16:16It does stay hit when this guy gets going.
16:20Azam Khan minuses six more from that chase.
16:29Boundary to end the over.
16:31And that brings David Warner's 50.
16:34144 for two.
16:44Pace.
16:45No pace.
16:46And he's gone.
16:48You just need so much power to put this man away.
16:51And just no pace available.
16:53And David Warner hands it to deep mid wicket.
17:00Delivered by Darren Mitchell.
17:02Sucked all the pace out of it.
17:04Warner trying to flat bat it over deep mid wicket.
17:08It was a smart wicket.
17:10It was one that the Pindys definitely needed.
17:12That broke the partnership of 76 off 45 deliveries.
17:17David Warner departs for 50.
17:19It's 146 for three.
17:28He's gone all over the rope.
17:30Sam Billings there.
17:31Just a little fumble.
17:33Was hit very hard though.
17:34150 up.
17:35For Karachi Kings.
17:37For Karachi Kings.
17:42He covered the stumps away towards the offside.
17:45And it's a really good hit.
17:48Gets it across the two men patrolling the fence on the lakeside.
17:52And it's beautifully manufactured four.
17:57Oh, that's a big one.
17:59That's the six.
18:00A monster hit.
18:0150 comes up for Azam Khan.
18:047.50.
18:05Terrific strike force in the middle phase of the innings.
18:08What a knock.
18:10Seriously good stuff.
18:16Oh, it's another smash down the ground for another big one.
18:21It's all too easy for Azam Khan.
18:27That's into the gap for four.
18:29Everything that he touches is turning into gold.
18:32This really is special from Azam Khan.
18:34He's not holding himself back.
18:36It's all guns blazing.
18:40That's hit.
18:41Well enough for another straight six.
18:44He's dealing in sixes.
18:46And boy, is he not looking good.
18:48Brilliant batting.
18:49Promoted up the order at number four.
18:51And it has worked so well.
18:55Ahmad Amir gets hit straight back.
18:58What a shot that is.
18:59Probably the best of his innings.
19:00He's hit plenty of great shots.
19:02This probably will top the list.
19:07It's gone up in the air.
19:08Rishad, what are you going to do about this?
19:10He catches one.
19:12Brilliant.
19:12Well done, Rishad.
19:14Albeit just a little too late in the piece.
19:17But a wicket has gone down.
19:18But take a bow, Azam Khan.
19:20What a knock.
19:23Really has been one terrific innings.
19:26Yeah, he's won the game for Karachi Kings.
19:30Eventually they take a catch.
19:32And I think with that celebration, he knows.
19:34But brilliant from Azam Khan.
19:36Sensational six sixes, six fours.
19:40Seventy four from 34 for Azam Khan.
19:43One hundred and eighty eight for four.
19:48Moynihan Ali hits one sweetly into the gap for four.
19:53That's a precious four.
19:54The pressure was building up.
19:59That's a close one.
20:01Yeah.
20:02It's slow death.
20:04Esen Raza raises the finger slowly.
20:07And the first ball has earned him a wicket.
20:12They're reviewing it.
20:13But it looked very, very close.
20:17Orinia Desen is out.
20:19Pitching out and off.
20:20Impact in line.
20:22Wicket hitting.
20:23Esen stay with Orinia Desen.
20:24Standby.
20:27You on camera.
20:28Make a single.
20:29Good decision on field by Esen Raza.
20:32Moynihan Ali had already walked off.
20:34He's gone for five.
20:36And they are now 193 for five.
20:39They need five from five deliveries.
20:43In a similar situation here.
20:45That's gone all the way for six.
20:47So it took one ball to seal the deal.
20:50He's a terrific striker.
20:52Probably underrated, I think.
20:54He's got a future with Pakistan as an all-round cricketer.
20:59This really has been one top quality run chase.
21:02Karachi Kings have won another one.
21:04Their third one in a row.
21:08Well, that's the match summary then.
21:10Rawal Pindi is 197 for six.
21:12A decent score, batting first.
21:14They had to bowl extremely well against Karachi Kings.
21:17It happened in phases, but nothing as a wholesome package.
21:22And so, Azam Khan provided them with a great platform.
21:26And brilliance, 74 of 34.
21:29Warner steadied the ship with a very intelligent 50.
21:33Dent Rashid was out there trying to get partnerships rolling.
21:37Salman Ali Aga, 29 of 24.
21:39Mohammed Vaseem, the opener, 23.
21:42And in the end, Karachi Kings over the line by five wickets.
21:46Points table.
21:47Karachi at the top.
21:48Three played, 3-1.
21:49One, scratchless, spotless, brilliant PSL so far.
21:53Multan Sultan's two played, 2-1.
21:55Peshawar Zalmi have lost one, 1-1.
21:57But it's been rather disappointing for the two newcomers.
22:02Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:05Both languishing at number seven and eight.
22:08Remember, top four teams qualify for playoffs.
22:39Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:42Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:43Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:46Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:49Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:55Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:56Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:57Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
22:58Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
23:01Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
23:02Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
23:02Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
23:03Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
23:04Rawal Pindi's and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
