00:14Oh, my God.
00:54For match 26, the Lahore Calandas versus the Quetta Gladiators.
01:001.70 is what Cheyenne Shirefrid, he said that he'd be happy with getting and he won the toss and
01:08for the first time here in Karachi, decided to have a bowl first, have a bat first I should say.
01:19All set to go then, match 26, slip in place.
01:23Keep your eye out on this surface, lovely little ball for the left-hander to get back as a man,
01:31a little leg side half volley.
01:37A little bit of swing again, this has just helped on its way, maybe will go all the way, it
01:44is, didn't have to overheat it.
01:46A little in-swingers at the moment.
01:49And now Witt on offer, and what a start this is.
01:56That is so short, poor delivery, put away.
02:02Down the ground, beautiful shot, it's a half volley, this is a good start for Lahore.
02:10Hit the pitch like that, it will keep a little bit low.
02:13An inside edge.
02:16Only managed an inside edge.
02:23Something to cheer for Quetta Gladiators.
02:28Dehadad has been able to pick up a wicket in his first over.
02:31Although, misery expands for Mohamed Naim.
02:35Awfully quiet in this HBL PSL.
02:38Goes for 4, 20 for 1.
02:41I don't think he's got all of it, he's just got enough to get over Usman Tariq.
02:46And now this will run away.
02:48Gladiators are under pressure.
02:50That's what he's done.
02:52Fallen straight.
02:53Little bit of swing.
02:57And Al-Zahri Josef has got rid of Faka Zaman.
03:01At the same time, he was late with that stroke.
03:04No footwork, none so ever.
03:08That stroke indeed was bereft of any footwork.
03:11And that was more than enough for the fastballers.
03:14Who's ramping up the pace to clean up Faka Zaman.
03:18He goes for 20.
03:19Lahore didn't spot a bother.
03:21Johan Dadd with his second.
03:23Already got that wicket in the air, put down.
03:28Nearly Riley Rousseau takes probably what would have been maybe catch at the tournament.
03:32We're doing something at half time to stay with us about the catches we've had.
03:39Nice shot.
03:40Nice shot.
03:41Good looking shot.
03:42Just let the ball come to him.
03:44Beautiful timing.
03:45And never try to over hit the ball.
03:50Slow ball in the air.
03:52Chance.
03:53Extra cover gets underneath it.
03:55Put down.
03:59Levin Jacobs puts it down.
04:03Short again.
04:04That's rushed him at the last minute and that's going to be gone.
04:09Pariksaman that takes the catch.
04:11So really good work from Joseph.
04:14And more importantly, the control is there at will.
04:18We've seen him disturb the timber.
04:21And goes back to that hard length.
04:24And unfortunately, the pace sees the back of Asalanka.
04:29It's a sting delivery.
04:32He has to depart.
04:34He goes for six.
04:3536 for three.
04:37And he's pegged it back beautifully.
04:38That's nicely picked up.
04:40And that's gone.
04:41One bounce four.
04:45Oh, that's not a bad shout.
04:46Up goes that finger.
04:47Got him.
04:48We know that it's keeping a little bit low on the surface.
04:50We've seen evidence of that already.
04:52And I think that's another case.
04:54He thought it was going to bounce a little bit higher than that.
04:56Yeah, the crossbed shots seem to be really, really difficult for the Cullanders.
05:02Yeah, he missed that by at least a foot.
05:06It's a wicket that has been quite challenging from a batting point of view.
05:10The variable bounce.
05:14Yeah, just skid it on.
05:15Skid it through.
05:17Maybe nip back in.
05:18But I don't think it was short enough to play that shot.
05:22Whereas, Saqib Khan.
05:27Nicely done.
05:28Just over that fielder.
05:29Short mid-wicket.
05:31We learned him a boundary.
05:32Hit that hard.
05:33Over no ball, actually.
05:35Asibullah.
05:37Oh, yes.
05:38He gets one now.
05:40Nowhere close to that.
05:41Shafiq just walked down.
05:42And completely missed it by a mile.
05:47In the end, it may well have been that Tarek saw him coming.
05:50You can see that he was reaching for it.
05:52Probably went a little too early.
05:54Yep.
05:55Well bowled, sir.
05:58Now, real problems for the Cullanders.
06:01Inbound now with their best players back in the hut.
06:0560 for five.
06:09There you go.
06:10Another one.
06:12That's when he becomes a handy bowler for you.
06:15When they try to hit big against him, he will create problems.
06:18And get your side back in the match if you can.
06:25Simple as you like for the skipper.
06:27And further problems for Cullanders.
06:36Captain goes without scoring.
06:38Yep.
06:38Frustration.
06:3960 for six.
06:43Well, nicely played.
06:44Beautifully played.
06:45Over the keeper's head.
06:46Just made sure that he made enough room.
06:54All right.
06:55He has got the cap.
06:56Finally.
06:57First boundary scored off the spinners.
07:00Final over then for Usman Tarek.
07:03Oh, what a delivery.
07:05Swing and a miss.
07:06He's causing absolute chaos out there.
07:08Yes, on the surface is helping.
07:10And on the fact that they've got early wickets in the power play.
07:14It takes the pressure off them.
07:16But he's in this type of form.
07:19And the team under so much pressure.
07:21Very hard to get this man away.
07:23And to know what to do.
07:25Whether you push him around or whether you look to attack him.
07:28At the moment he's got three for eight.
07:31Takandaraz are gone for 15.
07:32Kalander's in big trouble.
07:3484 for seven.
07:38No, too much.
07:43Playing off the back foot.
07:44That may be the best way to try and counter it.
07:47It will go for four via the outside edge.
07:50But they don't care.
07:51They will take whatever.
07:56Again, looking to play off the back foot.
07:58Same result.
07:58Not quite as edgy.
07:59But still outside edge of the back.
08:01Good batting actually.
08:02He's trying to play it off the pitch.
08:05Just one over to go.
08:07Kind of open things up for the spinners.
08:09Picking up a couple of early wickets.
08:11Has been hammered leg side.
08:13And that is about the only gap to find.
08:18Or he can go short.
08:19Which can beat not only the batter but the keeper.
08:22Back to back boundaries.
08:28Once two.
08:28It's played pretty well here.
08:30That's a bully.
08:31He's giving himself a chance to.
08:32Oh, no.
08:33No, no, no.
08:34Wrong end.
08:34Gone anyway.
08:35Wrong end.
08:36Gone anyway.
08:36But what a mix-up.
08:39Last thing they needed.
08:44Absolutely.
08:45So that is a front foot no ball by a long way.
08:50And you can just see.
08:54That's it.
08:54Bull is trying to get back on strike.
08:56Loses his bat.
08:59And tries to get his hand in.
09:03But he'll have to go.
09:05Run out.
09:17That is the first of the evening.
09:21And it's been a long time coming.
09:24Look at this.
09:26Huge in the slot.
09:27For deserving students.
09:29Thank you very much, KFC.
09:34This time he's gone, Yorker.
09:36And may go all the way.
09:38Yes, he does.
09:39Dominic Cork's getting even more excited.
09:41Well, we have to wait so long for a scholarship.
09:44And we get back-to-back scholarships.
09:46Let's go.
09:46The energy that you've got is being transferred.
09:48He's over.
09:49Way over again.
09:49And Basid Khan's just come in.
09:51And he's saying, let's have a super over later.
09:53Yes.
09:54Only just, though.
09:56Only just.
10:00Gone again.
10:01Gone again.
10:01And gone all the way.
10:03Osama, where have you been?
10:05Keeping his crease.
10:07Weighted, weighted.
10:11That's 5G super six.
10:13Go on, them bowling boots on.
10:14Left armour, who takes wickets of fun in his first over.
10:18Goes again.
10:19They're just running through the repertoire.
10:22Osama, you should be up the batting order.
10:24And that's what you need.
10:26Nick, we watch a lot of T20 cricket around the world.
10:30And we talk a lot about momentum.
10:33They've had none.
10:35They've had absolutely none until this little innings now.
10:3822 from six.
10:39They will feel they've got something to work with.
10:42Goes again.
10:42Not quite got all of it.
10:44But, oh, I think it's been taken.
10:49And he's tried to power it over Riley Rousseau.
10:52Gets in.
10:53He gives this out.
10:54I think he's quite right.
10:55His hands look like they're under the ball.
10:57It's a good catch.
10:58We've seen a few of these being put down.
11:01Gone for 22.
11:03Lahore Calandas, 134 for nine.
11:05Harris Ralph to try and swing the blade.
11:07Which he does, but it goes up.
11:09I don't know if it's got the distance.
11:10It hasn't.
11:11And it will be taken.
11:13Again by Riley Rousseau.
11:15And that is that.
11:17Would you believe it?
11:18They've been bowled out again.
11:19Just with a ball to go.
11:21I think that makes it three games in a row.
11:24Where they've been bowled out within 20 overs.
11:27Extraordinary.
11:28In the air.
11:30Slower ball again.
11:32And he had to get round.
11:37Nearly hit Spider.
11:39Spider was very good.
11:41Good reaction, Spider.
11:42Yep.
11:43He got out of the way.
11:43For Quetta Gladiator desperately need a win.
11:46And they're halfway towards doing exactly that.
11:50So it will be 135.
11:52That looks way short on what is not a straightforward pitch.
11:55But we will have the run chase.
11:57Can he get the ball swinging?
11:59Can he get the Calandas off to a great start?
12:01Here we go.
12:02Can they defend?
12:04134.
12:09Oh, just made that little movement across.
12:11And he tried to push it back in.
12:13It's not the start he wanted.
12:15Four wides.
12:19Oh, full toss towards Mid-On.
12:21It's not the way he would have wanted it.
12:23But he doesn't care.
12:25Full toss.
12:26Could have hit that anywhere.
12:28Simple catch for Sikandar Raza.
12:30And he has another wicket in his first over.
12:32How many times?
12:34How many times we have seen a baller prevailing with an ordinary delivery.
12:41But rotated his hand.
12:43And hence, no elevation, no power.
12:46Went straight to Sikandar Raza.
12:48He's safe as houses.
12:50Up there in the middle.
12:52Took it easily.
12:54First blood drawn.
12:55It's Shyamal Hussain.
12:58That's a duck.
13:00It's five for one, Koita.
13:04Oh, going down.
13:06No, going down.
13:07Don't get excited.
13:07You can appeal as much as you want.
13:11Don't get excited.
13:12The keeper should tell you.
13:13He was miles down the leg side.
13:19We've got an inside edge.
13:20We'll go back to Chris on screen.
13:28Oh, a little bit of swing.
13:29No.
13:30Look at the keeper.
13:30Look where Mohamed's name is, it tells you.
13:32Gone.
13:34Don't worry about the LBW.
13:36Smash the stumps down.
13:37They're two down.
13:40Nobody's mistake, but his.
13:46Backed up.
13:48A bit too much.
13:50A given opportunity.
13:52To the fielder.
13:54Two down.
13:56And that was the kind of a start the Horker Lunders were looking for.
14:00Both the openers are removed.
14:03It's South Chakeel.
14:05Walking back dejectedly.
14:06It's 11 for two.
14:08Not many.
14:11Here's the boundary.
14:13A loose boundary.
14:15Of the last delivery.
14:17Three done.
14:1816 for two.
14:22Ace off.
14:23Gets it through.
14:24And this will run away.
14:27Recent couple of boundaries now for Hassan Nawaz.
14:32Again.
14:33A long hop.
14:35Got what he deserved.
14:36Another boundary from the bat of Hassan Nawaz.
14:43Rai Rissou can do that.
14:45Perfectly covering the line of the ball.
14:47Down the wicket.
14:48And bang.
14:53Hassan Nawaz and clears this one.
14:55But it's not 5.2.
14:56It's 5.3.
14:57And this will do the job.
15:00See slightly round arm.
15:02It just opens up that leg side.
15:09Tapal Danidar.
15:11Finds the gap.
15:12Boundaries are coming in nice and easy now with the two spinners in operation.
15:21Heavry relying on Skander Raza.
15:23And Asalanka now added to the 11.
15:31Running through.
15:32I'm ready to make more decision for the big screen.
15:34A bit.
15:40It's gone through.
15:42There'll be a boundary.
15:44Can't afford to do that when you're defending.
15:46Not a very big total.
15:51Call is for two.
15:52He's played it in the gap.
15:53Yes.
15:54Yeah.
15:54Easily.
15:55Complete that.
15:59Nicely played.
16:01Nicely played to finish the over.
16:0411 from it.
16:05A good one for Quetta.
16:06It's 60 for two.
16:10That's been hit well.
16:11Deep in wicket.
16:12And it's gone all the way flat and long.
16:17Good solid bat swing.
16:19Advancing down the track.
16:20So he wasn't going to go too cross bat.
16:22Because his idea was to go downtown initially when you advance like that.
16:26And had to make a little adjustment against Harris Ralph.
16:28And he just smashed that for six.
16:31And he's been struck down the ground straight.
16:34And that's one of his strengths.
16:36Goes like that.
16:36And he's gone again.
16:39And it's gone for six.
16:41And it's been put down by number 10 as well.
16:44Anything near that middle of the bat.
16:47That was more to the bottom of the bat.
16:49But it sails away.
16:56Ball is for two straight away.
16:57Timing is very good through the offside.
16:59He'll get better than two.
17:01He'll get four.
17:02Boundary to end the 12th.
17:0595 for two.
17:07It is all about the left handers.
17:10What a shot.
17:12Picked it up quickly.
17:15Probably got wet.
17:19Half century.
17:21What a performance by Riley Rousseau.
17:25His 12th HBL PSL half century.
17:29And he's just coming into a bit of form.
17:32200 scores.
17:34Nicely played by Hassan Nawaz.
17:37Just rides the bounce beautifully.
17:39Doesn't try to over hit it.
17:43And the Rousseau with the pace on.
17:46100 partnership comes up.
17:47And they'll pick it up with a brace.
17:56They may have to just look at this.
17:58Because I'm not sure whether Hassan Nawaz thinks he's just dragged out here.
18:03He looks disappointed and despondent.
18:06We'll have to have a look.
18:07The third umpire will have to have a look at this.
18:10Ball's taken clearly behind the stumps.
18:14Puts up and short.
18:16Okay, ready to make more decision for the big screen.
18:28Well, he looked at despondent when they went up to the third umpire.
18:34Doesn't get to a 50.
18:36Gone for 49.
18:38Gladiators 1.15 for three.
18:42Got him.
18:44Back of a length.
18:45Kept a little bit low.
18:46And Harris-Ralph has his first wicket.
18:50Possesses great pace.
18:52And on that occasion, accuracy.
18:54And it's the length that has troubled batters all night.
18:59The variable bounce.
19:04Has been a real, real challenge for batters.
19:08Chandimal, he comes and goes.
19:10He goes for three.
19:12Gladiators 1.22 for four.
19:16Up and over.
19:19Half a hit.
19:20That has gone massive.
19:22Wow, we saw a glimpse of what he could do in that 49 not out a few nights ago.
19:27Certainly has the ability to hit a long ball.
19:30And a touch of glass as well.
19:34Oh, hit him hard.
19:36Hit a pace to finish off that over.
19:38Not happy, Shaheen Shah-Friedi.
19:4016 gone.
19:421.31 for four.
19:45Yeah, change of length.
19:47Not happy with being hit back over his head.
19:51Jane Shah-Friedi.
19:55He's bowled with great aggression.
19:59Half a hit to win it.
20:02That'll go for another maximum.
20:18Gladiators win by six wickets.
20:22And also the fact that the Zalmi know 100% now.
20:26That they are in the top four.
20:28That's the gold.
20:28That's all.
20:28Wow.
20:28That's tough.
20:28Oh, there's a lot of people.
20:28Bullets to thexual survival money.
