00:14Oh
00:55Should be a cracker of a game.
00:57Match number 13, Quetta Gladiators taking on Multan Sultans.
01:01All the action live from Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
01:05Right at the toss it was Ashton Turner who called correctly Multan Sultans.
01:10Won the toss and they decided to bowl first.
01:15Quetta Gladiators making one change. Ben McDermott is out.
01:19Riley Russo at number four will see him again.
01:22Abraar, Tariq, they not only play for Quetta Gladiators, they play for Pakistan as well.
01:30Multan Sultans have gone unchanged.
01:32Ashton Turner having the confidence in the guys that played the last game.
01:36They've got big names, big strikers and it should be a great contest.
01:41Right here we go then.
01:58Ashton Turner will start the show.
02:02Bit of spin, bit of pace off.
02:06Big shot that's gone all the way for a gigantic six.
02:10Here we go then.
02:12Stamping his authority early in the piece is Khawja Nafi.
02:19Made a great sound and placement was brilliant as well.
02:23Yeah, coming off the back of a challenging solitary over.
02:28Oh, that's more like it spun and given by the umpire.
02:33Sharp spin, where did it pitch? Outside the next step or not?
02:36It's gone for a review.
02:43Original decision out.
02:45Pitching in line, impact in line.
02:49Wicket's umpire's call.
02:51Fesson, you can stay with your original decision.
02:53Standby.
02:54You are on screen now.
02:56I've got to say it looked close in live action.
02:58Didn't get the benefit of the doubt.
03:01It was umpire's call. Marginal, but he's gone.
03:07Shamil hits that one.
03:09Not clearly.
03:10It's done for the night.
03:12Beautifully held by Mohamed Nawaz.
03:14He's off to a great start.
03:16Picked up a wicket.
03:17And now a very good catch.
03:19Shamil Hussain was aiming for a big one.
03:23He has the option now.
03:25Two left-handers on the crease.
03:26And he takes it.
03:28He takes the option.
03:29It's a smart wicket.
03:31A Vigotel smart wicket.
03:34They inform.
03:36Shamil Hussain has to go for two.
03:39Gladiators 15 for two.
03:43This time he finds the gap and four.
03:46Beautifully struck.
03:48He's a good, strong player.
03:49Hasan Nawaz and on the dig can clinch a win.
03:56Finds the gap.
03:57Another boundary.
03:59So a couple of good shots from Hasan Nawaz.
04:01Is off and running.
04:05Hammered away.
04:07Not quite all the way.
04:08Picked up length very quickly.
04:14Even better.
04:15Even better.
04:16Just a calculated gamble.
04:18He knew because of the ball before he was going to be a little bit fuller.
04:21And he anticipated it well.
04:27Picked his gap nicely.
04:28Again picked length well.
04:30Just slightly back of a length.
04:32Nothing more.
04:36Picked up this time.
04:37Dispatched.
04:38Not quite all the way.
04:39But again beautiful timing.
04:45If he can land it.
04:47And that will be a gentle loosener.
04:50That was a gift.
04:55That one swept away.
04:56And that is a much needed boundary.
05:00Good shot.
05:01Wasn't a bad delivery.
05:02But really reached out for that sweep shot.
05:05And picked the gap nicely.
05:08Oh that's beautifully bowled.
05:10Well kept.
05:12They might have a look upstairs.
05:14But appeared as though he had his back foot down.
05:24Can you give me the other side please?
05:26If you can zoom it up.
05:28This one please.
05:31Freeze it here.
05:32I can see the foot is in the air.
05:35Wicker's broken.
05:37Satisfied.
05:39An extraordinary moment in the game.
05:43Hasan Nawaz.
05:45Maybe for a millisecond.
05:48Just raising that foot.
05:49Hasan Nawaz gone for 20.
05:52Stumped.
05:52Of Arafat Menas.
05:5470 for three.
05:59Pulled away.
06:00Straight to the fielder though.
06:02Oh that is a bonus.
06:04Absolute bonus.
06:06Riley Russo would be kicking himself.
06:11Second wicket off the over.
06:13Short ball.
06:14He could have pulled it anyway.
06:16But he pulled it straight to.
06:19Shan Masood.
06:21That's why.
06:22They are dancing.
06:24Multan Sultan.
06:26Riley Russo.
06:27Dangerous Riley Russo.
06:29Out for one.
06:3072 for four.
06:37More of that is needed.
06:39More impetus.
06:40More punch.
06:43And a 50 for the skipper.
06:45So Shaquille.
06:50Flatter this time.
06:51That's hit hard.
06:52And that's gone all the way.
06:53It's a skimmer.
06:55Relay is well struck.
07:02Big shot.
07:04Yeah.
07:04No need to run for that one.
07:05That was absolutely nailed.
07:08Good shot.
07:11Nawaz to Sal Shaquille.
07:14Oh short one.
07:15Does he get it well enough?
07:17He hasn't.
07:18It's come off the toe of the bat.
07:19Stephen Smith does not drop those.
07:22And that is a very big wicket.
07:25Going into the final stage of this innings.
07:30You remove a set batsman.
07:33How lucky Nawaz on that occasion.
07:36Nicely judged catch.
07:38Captain playing a handful for his side.
07:42Scored a 50.
07:44From 41 deliveries.
07:45119 for five quarter.
07:49Backs away.
07:51And out.
07:53Oh it's out.
07:53That is a great catch.
07:56Diving away to his left.
07:57And it's Ashton Turner.
07:59A bit of a wink to one of his teammates saying.
08:02Did you like that?
08:04Keep on balling.
08:05Long hops.
08:06And you'll pick up wickets.
08:07Oh that ball was traveling.
08:09What a take that was.
08:12Tom Curran goes for one.
08:15Quetta Gladiators.
08:16In trouble.
08:18122 for six.
08:22Slower ball.
08:23That is being smoked.
08:26You know if you forget about this previous outing where he was dismissed with the first delivery.
08:31Jacobs.
08:32It's back it well.
08:37Just tried for the Yorker again.
08:39Ended up being a low fall toss but it's been dealt with.
08:44That's a fine shot.
08:47Starts with a slower ball but it's been dealt with over cover.
08:51Down the track.
08:53And hit beautifully.
08:59Goes slower ball again.
09:02And again gets hit for six.
09:07Here we go.
09:08Last over of this innings.
09:11Oh that's a beautiful shot.
09:14There it is.
09:16The little lap.
09:17Full and straight.
09:19Gets a little bit of bat on it.
09:20Flies away for a boundary.
09:24It's hitting to the onside.
09:26It'll be at least two work to do.
09:29And he's done well.
09:30So I've already run two.
09:32Coming back to three now.
09:34And gone.
09:35So he won't get to 50.
09:37Good piece of fielding.
09:39And innings complete.
09:43The ball was stopped inside the boundary line.
09:49Going for the third one was suicidal ideation anyways.
09:54He came as a mere runner.
09:56Was dismissed.
09:57Without making any effort.
10:01Well there's the batting card.
10:04Lost a couple of quick wickets up front.
10:05But Sal Chakil was really a very good player there.
10:1056 off 41.
10:12And Bevan Jacobs just playing in his second game.
10:15Remains not out on 49 off 31 deliveries.
10:19Daniel retired hurt.
10:21Was very handy as well.
10:2222 from just nine deliveries.
10:24And they finish on 166 for seven.
10:28Let's have a look at the bowling figures.
10:30And Nawaz brilliant.
10:31Three for 30.
10:32A lot of wickets going to the spinners.
10:34Ashton Turner opened the batting as well.
10:36One for 16.
10:37Pick of the bowlers though really.
10:39Arafat.
10:40Minhas.
10:41Four overs.
10:42Two for 14.
10:43And an economy rate of three and a half.
10:45Superb.
10:48167 to win for the Maltan Sultans.
10:51They are a good chasing team.
10:53Can they do it?
11:01Azari Joseph.
11:11Just helped on its way.
11:13Real easy power from this time Steve Smith.
11:17A gentle loosener.
11:23This time the footwork.
11:25Over correction.
11:26And Steve Smith will pounce on it.
11:29He's a thinking man's quicker.
11:30And he's getting his plans absolutely spot on.
11:35That's one of his areas of strength.
11:37Perhaps a little finer than he thought.
11:39But he's so strong on the legs.
11:41Now Azari Joseph not happy.
11:43Expensive start.
11:4415 from the first.
11:47What a shot.
11:48What a shot.
11:49Announce yourself early in the innings.
11:52Most amount of sixes hit.
11:54In HBL PSL 11 thus far.
12:01Goes again.
12:02Finds the gap.
12:03Not quite six.
12:04But it will be another boundary.
12:06Abrow has a few things to think about here.
12:11Up and over.
12:13Classic.
12:14Great control from Steve Smith.
12:16What an over this has been.
12:17Abrow is being treated with disdain.
12:22And no early look from Steve Smith who is motoring on.
12:32Flip leg side.
12:34Nonchalantly flip leg side.
12:35That is high class.
12:40Oh shot.
12:42Arguably shot of the day or evening so far.
12:48Make that four more.
12:49Just threaded through the offside.
12:51There is nothing at the moment that Tom Curran can do.
13:01Not what he intended.
13:03But he's saying to Steve Smith.
13:04Anything you can do.
13:05I can do just about as well.
13:11Hammered.
13:11Absolutely belted.
13:13Nothing you can do at mid off.
13:15Now then Abrow.
13:16You've not been treated like this very often.
13:23Gonna go all the way I think.
13:25Yeah.
13:25With some ease.
13:26What an over that is again.
13:28Extraordinary start to this run chase.
13:3063 without loss.
13:39And that's four.
13:40So he's got the gap nicely on that occasion.
13:44Farhan.
13:45He's just in terrific form.
13:48Oh it's gone straight up in the air.
13:52There's three fielders converging.
13:54And taken in the end.
13:57Abrow is the fielder.
14:00You can see the reaction of some of the fielders around him.
14:03In the end.
14:03A very very good catch.
14:05A good length.
14:06A little bit of extra bounce.
14:09Farhan losing the shape.
14:10We don't often see that.
14:12And then had three guys converging.
14:14No one looking.
14:14They really wanted it.
14:17And Abrow's number was up.
14:20Completed the catch.
14:21Azai Joseph looks as surprised as I were.
14:24Farhan gone for 32.
14:2571 for one more time.
14:31That was full.
14:32No swing.
14:33Just clicked off the pads from Josh Phillippe.
14:36He seems an imperious touch.
14:41Oh that's going to be out.
14:43I think he was trying to go over cover.
14:46Ends up getting a thick outside edge.
14:49And goes straight to the fieldsman.
14:54Yeah just holding a touch.
14:57Not the pace on it to punch it over extra cover.
15:01Just finding the edge.
15:03So Shaquille.
15:05Golden arm from the skipper.
15:07Philippe gone.
15:09Soutan's.
15:0996 for two.
15:13Oh pulled away.
15:15Too short.
15:16And that has traveled the distance.
15:19If wickets begin to tumble.
15:21Knock it around.
15:22And set it up.
15:23It's a little easier when you're only facing a target of 167.
15:27Wouldn't be quite so straightforward if it was 220.
15:36A little cheeky little ramp.
15:39Will he get back for the second?
15:41Yes he races back.
15:43And the first for Stephen Smith.
15:48First HBL PSL 50 for him.
15:56What a shot.
15:57That is so well timed.
15:59That is so good from Sean Massoud.
16:03Yeah it was a little over pitched of course.
16:05And it was on the legs.
16:10Big shot.
16:12And oh wow.
16:14Well done Riley Rousseau.
16:16And what a relay catch.
16:19Absolutely amazing.
16:20We thought this was gone.
16:214-6.
16:23But yeah.
16:24Smith can't believe it.
16:25That is for me the best catch I've seen in this season.
16:38Yeah.
16:45No disturbance in the top run.
16:49Keep rolling.
16:50Keep rolling.
16:50Keep rolling please.
16:55Satisfied.
16:56I have the decision for the big screen is.
17:00Ready with the decision.
17:01There you go.
17:02What a catch.
17:04What an effort to dismiss a batter like that.
17:06You would need a catching like that.
17:0853 to C Smith.
17:10136 for three.
17:14Straight.
17:16Usually you don't find any fielder there.
17:18And same is the case.
17:19This time.
17:20Was hit hard by Sean Massoud.
17:27Yeah that's wrapped right in front.
17:28No doubts there.
17:30Arafat might want to just go upstairs.
17:33But his partner should tell him that if you haven't hit it you are gone.
17:37And yes that is the message from Sean Massoud.
17:40And Arafat Minhas will go and take that walk.
17:45It'll look pretty adjacent.
17:47Wicket coming in.
17:48But maybe a little too late.
17:51That meeting I was referring to.
17:53Definitely happening.
17:55Now he has picked up two.
17:58Moulton Sultan lose their fourth.
18:01And they are 148 on board.
18:06Oh he's handled that well.
18:08Came down.
18:09Covered the line.
18:09And smashed it over the side screen.
18:13He's in good nick after that innings against Lahore.
18:16150 comes up with that maximum.
18:22Job done.
18:23Very very impressive.
18:25Complete performance you'd have to say from Moulton Sultan.
18:28Bouncing back from a defeat just a couple of nights ago.
18:31They look a very strong outfit.
18:34Yeah it works.
18:35When at the toss you decide to chase a score.
18:38And they did that effortlessly.
18:42So victory never really in doubt to be honest.
18:45Once the power play was complete for Moulton Sultan.
18:48As you can see there.
18:4932 from 14 Farhan.
18:50Steve Smith leading the way.
18:5253 from 35.
18:54And Shan Masood 46 from 30.
18:56So winning Atacanta.
18:58And importantly as we just mentioned.
19:00That run rate now on the up.
19:03And taking them right to the top of the table.
19:06Look at Osman Tarek.
19:08Four overs.
19:08None for 25.
19:09So economy is good.
19:10But the wicket column has got to swell up.
19:12Abra there.
19:13Four overs.
19:14None for 46.
19:15Expensive and wicketless.
19:17And that really dented Quetta Gladiator's progress with the ball.
19:21Mansurmi then Quetta Gladiator.
19:23There's not enough runs on the board.
19:24166 for the loss of seven.
19:27A struggling effort.
19:28South Shaqeel bared it well for his 50.
19:31But just couldn't get the 200 which is needed.
19:34Bare minimum 200 on this beautiful surface.
19:37And Moulton Sultan is over the line without any fuss at all.
19:41167 for the loss of four.
19:43Smith, Masood, Farhan, Philippe 18 of just 15.
19:47But overall solid, rock solid performance in all the departments.
19:52Three wins from four.
19:55And Quetta, well, three losses from four.
19:58Remember it's ten group games.
20:00So there's still a long way to go.
20:01But eight points, well, six points at the top is looking in a good place to be.
20:08So some big strong sides just beginning to push away.
20:12Work to be done at the bottom end of the table.
20:14We'll see Rao Pindi's tomorrow night.
20:23No.
20:24Gary almighty.
20:45I know I wanna go for it in the middle.
20:46I'm not a Master Of Healing Nation anymore.
20:50I went to every congruente game.
20:51I still know.
