00:09Oh, my God.
00:55Right, we are here at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
00:58It's Goethe Gladiators versus the Pindys, the new boys.
01:03It was Mahmoud Erzvan who won the toss and elected to bowl.
01:14Here we go then.
01:17Spin straight away.
01:21He plays it with a straight bat.
01:23He's a lovely player against spin bowling.
01:24South Shakil, natural, you know, he's got this little sweep and the heavy sweep, the tap around the corner.
01:33He listens to you and it's just about the exit of him.
01:39On the bounce to long off fielder.
01:42But anyway, the idea is right.
01:46Yeah, that's a beautiful line across the stumps and big shot over cover.
01:54That is some strike for four.
01:57Mahmoud Amir coming on to bowl.
02:00And is slapped over the infield for not exactly a boundary.
02:06But good intentions from Sal Chigili.
02:11Yeah, beautifully timed.
02:14Big chase for the deep fielder.
02:16That's a good stop.
02:21Scoops it over Rezvan.
02:24And the ball will trickle down to four.
02:29A bowl in, went across the line and will.
02:32Let's hit the middle stump.
02:35Lynch delivery going across the line and paying the price.
02:39Whether this just slightly sits down clever.
02:42So it took a bit of pace off.
02:43Top of those bails again.
02:46Harper tries to pull a length that is literally too full.
02:51And his first wicket, Sears, he deserved that.
02:55Harper goes for eight.
02:57And the gladiators, 22 for one.
02:59The way he runs in, he hits the crease hard.
03:03It's a beautiful shot though.
03:05And just slightly over pitch Rammys.
03:07Something we saw you do quite often in your career.
03:10Straight past the bowler.
03:16Sliding on, sliding on.
03:17That's the point I tried to make in the pitch report actually.
03:21Hit the top of the stumps.
03:23Lovely option, lovely shot.
03:25That is a lot of experience in that shot.
03:27Because he knows he wants to play with as straight as bad as possible.
03:32Goes again, finds the gap and finds the ball.
03:35Out of the boundary.
03:35Excellent batting.
03:36Just a little bit of width that's created a bit more.
03:39Because of the movement of the crease.
03:49Good fielding.
03:50They'll just add a little bit of pressure.
03:51Now then, has to be.
03:53Ooh, gets back in time just.
03:57Can't be out.
03:58Can't be out.
03:58Unless it's a switch hit.
03:59And I don't think it is.
04:01It's a reverse sweep.
04:02He pitches outside.
04:04Surely, surely you know that Mohamed Rizwan.
04:07It's, you can't ask him.
04:09You can't ask the umpire.
04:10You've got to make the decision.
04:13Just keep rolling.
04:14There is a gap between bat and ball.
04:18Satisfied.
04:19No bat and ball.
04:20Go for ball-tracking and win.
04:22Original decision not out.
04:24Pitching outside leg.
04:26Saiket, stay with your original decision.
04:28You're on screen.
04:29Please signal.
04:30Saiket, please signal.
04:31You're on screen.
04:31It's a really strange decision by Mohamed Rizwan.
04:35He obviously thinks it's a switch hit.
04:37But you can tell even with that replay.
04:39He hasn't, hasn't moved his hands.
04:41And I think now he's been told that.
04:44Feet and overs so far.
04:46But it gets fast.
04:47Asif Afridi will run away for a boundary.
04:50The first one in four overs.
04:53Take it back to a couple of nights ago.
04:55When they played on this pitch.
04:58That is good.
04:59That is better from Riley Russo.
05:02Use of feet gets to the pitch of the ball.
05:04And a much needed boundary for the team.
05:08And for him as well.
05:11Well that's all he needs.
05:12He's a dangerous player.
05:13That's all he needs.
05:14Just one shot to get him into a bit of form.
05:17Back to back boundaries.
05:19Finishes off the tenth over.
05:20The 70th for one.
05:24Reverse sweep.
05:25Doesn't get there.
05:26Mohamed Amir just couldn't get it in his hands.
05:31Now can they get two?
05:33Has he hit that perfectly to get two?
05:35He's going.
05:35That is really good from Riley Russo.
05:39Good between the two batters.
05:42And pace off.
05:44He just stays a little bit deeper.
05:45Good fielding.
05:46Should just be one.
05:47Should just be one.
05:48Takes him on.
05:50Gets there.
05:51Good running.
05:52Disappointed.
05:54Oh Agoogly.
05:56And a beaten all ends up.
05:58The keeper as well.
06:00And it's a welcome boundary for the gladiators.
06:05Nicely swept.
06:06And you'll certainly look for two maybe even for.
06:09And a good bit of fielding on the boundary.
06:12but might be in vain he did all the work to get around and what you just hit sit
06:21back on himself and that's where the problem comes in yeah he's touching the
06:27rope once the ball rolled back onto his hand shot that's a beautiful shot an
06:37absolute control there rally Russo came down the wicket we saw him take this
06:43option in the previous over of Darryl Mitchell without any success but gets the
06:48length of this occasion doesn't try and over hit it that should be a boundary
06:57again decided to go after Darryl Mitchell because that's an option there that's
07:02available they can go after him and that is his 11th HBL PSL 50 yeah muchly
07:10needed there's been a lot of talk about Riley Russo and the impact he can have
07:14particularly in the middle phase of the game when he gets going and he's
07:18certainly doing so here with an offer and at no point does he try and keep it on
07:24the ground he goes aerial who's missed it and how did that mr. stops it's in the
07:40air should be out and it is Billings right there just have to move a little bit to
07:45his left and the buster gets his first wicket and the partnerships broke yeah
07:54timely timely for the Ralpin knees it was a partnership that was forming and Riley
08:02Russo had his but between at the but between his teeth but it's a well played
08:07innings nevertheless certainly for him 53 or 42 quitter 109 for two particularly in
08:14the national tournament just between just before PSL and there we go it's up in
08:18the air and successful Hassan Nawaz he gets his innings off for the maximum oh
08:28that's gone up and probably over as well back-to-back sixes
08:33Hassan Nawaz cashing Mubassar well that comes to an end he's played that anchor all
08:46but unfortunately we see the back of him captain goes here it is
08:52Sears gets his second and that probably would work for them he's done his job the
08:58captain he wanted to play the anchor if he did now it's the time for the foul hitters
09:03to come in so check it goes for 42 quitter one two three four three shot I mean
09:12with a straight bat doesn't get the distance I'll take some catching Billings
09:16all just got messed up in the end took the boot but yeah that was in the air for a
09:24long long time it's got the wickets it's up in the air yet again did he get all of
09:29it and he certainly did Hassan Nawaz getting his third maximum and he's
09:36certainly getting some momentum for the gladiators it's 16 gone now 134 three
09:44that's top edge straight up in the air three men converging one settles Usman
09:49Hwaja takes it another time these strike here for the Raul Pindis there you can
09:58see went for the Yorkie didn't quite get it but he did enough with it
10:11pumped up because he knows he has a really important role to play here so
10:15it's just beginning to fall now 138 for four catches the call will be away from the
10:23feeler
10:26or is one who's calling for this for a while
10:31there's wipe out in the middle batsman takes ball around and I don't terms of the
10:38run out I think we have a look very close that part of director we have a review for
10:42run out at the ballers and show me the side on angle please
10:50that is grounded before the wheels are off I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen
10:57yari moment brilliant top strike and this is very good also Hassan Nawaz picks up another six it's so
11:06so good it's not gonna be easy swinging it leg side look look at his leg front leg there goes
11:10way
11:10outside leg stump and he can access down the ground that is so smart on this service what's the front
11:15leg there and that is so good this time into the next side once again elevation distance placement this
11:25is fantastic stuff his body weight back he knows he's waiting for the short ball it's marginally short
11:31that's such intelligent batting he's come out with all guns blazing 11 deliveries he's gone to score 35 at
11:41five six have a look at his strike rate it's more than 300 that's straight very straight he called it
11:51even before cycles raises his finger armor picks up his second yeah now go forward yeah there's a gap
12:04between ball and back on the left hand side can you go for the ball tracking and ready please in
12:12line
12:13impact in line wicked sitting stay with your original decision second I'm just making sure the technology is
12:18used correctly on free decision excellent delivery from armor excellent and that's another wicket
12:25bevan Jacobs has to walk back for three Quetta gladiators 156 for five he's done well John that hard to
12:36get
12:36his bad down in time or brilliant in terms of for the Quetta gladiators a good strike this as well
12:42pick up a
12:43boundary off the miss field gets a hold of that sounded a very very good and the returns also excellent
12:54again Mohamed Amir is just trying to mix it up this time he does go into the surface just holds
12:59enough
13:05they're just too short no as is trying to get down to the strikers end brilliant absolutely brilliant
13:15Yasir Khan with a spectacular catch and you never know how many runs he might have saved Ben Sears just
13:23kind of does what he should do really on this surface into the pitch taking the pace out of it
13:28excellent
13:29catch coming forward we've got a really good game on here because I think Quetta will feel they're not
13:34far off a pass score they've got a couple of mystery spinners it's gonna take some chasing down so they're
13:40edging towards a decent score that is a fantastic innings it really is 39 from 16 170 for six
13:48well that might be the case monstrous hit once again and they keep throwing this time John that
13:55picks up another what can they finish with or just away from Rizwan they will finish with another four
14:02which they will finish with 14 of the last which means in their set of 20 overs I reckon Quetta
14:11gladiators
14:11will be very happy at the 182 on the board right then the Raul Pindi is looking for their first
14:16win
14:17in the HBL PS 11 and they require 183 at 9.15 runs and over in their set of 20
14:25overs Osman Khwaja returns to
14:27the HBL PSL after five years returns in new colors and returns as a new batting pair for the Raul
14:36Pindis here
14:36we go edge then taken what a dream start here from Jahadad the Quetta gladiators glittering away
14:48Taising the drive from Mohamed Rizwan there won't be much easier slip catches that O'Reilly Rousseau would
14:56take and the skipper is ecstatic the perfect start for Quetta gladiators not for one
15:07under edge inside edge away from the left of that wicket keeper
15:15oh shape hint of movement exaggerated
15:21that packs a punch Yasser Khan packs a punch great shape and great hit for six but the next one
15:30is in
15:30the slot he's hit that on the up that is a really good strike let's this thing strike
15:37and it goes all the way for the maximum
15:40one good one
15:42just over just over just over just opens up that bad face and gets it enough and away from the
15:48fielders
15:53that's a dutch straighter
15:56picked up nicely very nice this making a statement here Yasser Khan
16:04picked up really nicely that's a clean strike Osman Khwaja will pick up his first six
16:12go on bended knee
16:15who's been Khwaja and gone downtown
16:19not getting much purchase just yet content
16:24send in your reel for the match oh that's gonna be gone
16:29sold down the river i reckon himself hit straight to the fielder and he's gone
16:35it was a good shot i think he just admired the shot got the run on but it literally went
16:44straight to the fielder
16:48and what a throw look at these swings not only Khalil Ahmed swinging it
16:54Hassan Nawaz has a little bit of a curve ball of his own
16:56Saka wicket down 27 for two he wants to go wide yorka stay away from the arc
17:02oh how close was that
17:08beauty absolute beauty it's been a decent start for the gladiators
17:13they're on mitchell has decided it's time what a shot down the ground
17:18yeah it's an option that he really enjoys which is jazz 5d super six
17:25doesn't mind hitting from the crease he backs his power
17:29and executes well
17:32got to be strong haven't you jp
17:35hit like this now then chipped over
17:39one bounce of four good this from daryl mitchell strength
17:46it's just been really good intent from daryl mitchell and again look at this it's great
17:50down the ground twice and then his sweet shot you talked about that
17:58up in the air it's a chance and taken
18:03and they get the breakthrough abra has been potent
18:09absolutely brilliant we can carry on from that just went with that wide line gets it off the toe of
18:16the bat
18:21and it's the end of the evening for yasir khan gone for 22 they're in a bit of trouble 45
18:29for three
18:32be a single to finish a quick one brings up the 50 in the run chase and ends the seventh
18:38over that 50 for three
18:43oh
18:45decent length again and followed in this time a bit painful eight gone 54 for three
18:58it's a smash that's gone for six absolutely nailed it that's a very good shot and i think it was
19:05uh the attempted lick spinner
19:09a pretty decent shot was taking out which way it's going to turn it was full enough
19:21beautifully timed into the gap for four that's good batting
19:29it's all about creating the gaps with that rake on the up
19:34makes room finds the fielder at deep point and the running is decent more than decent it was a weak
19:40throw
19:49we all wait in anticipation i thought i might have heard something actually on up
20:01and gone caught at point well taken at point usman tarik picks up a wicket and in the end couldn't
20:10get
20:10control and on top of the bounce it's what you're looking for if you're a left-hander and in the
20:15end
20:15he's just reaching for it somehow it stays in all fine there just been building a little bit of pressure
20:22that run rate's been on the up it's just under 12 now and they've just built enough pressure good
20:29moments here and they're just uh grabbing control of the game for now puzzle goes for 20 nearly run
20:37a ball 77 for four sam billings is a new comer at the non-striker's end kasha bherty has been
20:43driven
20:43and well fielded at long off he's a good feeler hassan navas
