Zalmi vs United, 1st Match at Dubai, , Feb 09 2017 - Match Result

pulled into the gap, signs off with a boundary! Crunched that into the gap superbly. First win of PSL 2017 belongs to defending champs Islamabad United

steered into the gap at deep extra cover, easy two there

slashed to point, they steal a run. Good stop there but Billings was halfway through the run when Watson took off. Watson wasn't running to the danger end and so was happy to get across anyway

into the blockhole, squeezed to long-on. Sensible from Billings

starts off with a poor delivery down leg. May have been distracted by Billing's movement outside the line of off stump.

dolly of a catch to long-on. What was the need to look for an ugly hoick, you must ask. Smith looks to back away and slog across the line but it was a slower delivery and so he's completely deceived by the change in pace. Was through with the stroke, which he checked at the last moment, as the ball lobbed to the fielder. He's played well though, a half-century during the course of two important partnerships

looks to slash over point but was cramped for room, beaten

doesn't get hold of the pull as well as he would have liked this time, down to wide long-on

this time he pitches short, Watson is waiting for it as he pulls him in front of square, one bounce into the deep midwicket boundary

comes back to over the wicket, but the result is the same. Another full toss, another swing across the line. This time it's over long-on. Poor from a man of Junaid's experience. Surely that's that as far as the game is concerned?

Terrible, terrible delivery. Full toss over the waist, umpire had his hand out even before the shot was played. Watson sees the opportunity and biffs this into the stands at deep midwicket. Is that the turning point? Islamabad into the home stretch

low full toss on middle from around the stumps, pushed to long-off

drilled to long-off. What punch and timing

looks to hoick this across the line over cow corner, gets a thick inside edge onto the pad, ball deflects to the off side

play and a miss. Looks to carve this over cover, but played too late.

yorker-length delivery, turns out to be a low full toss that has been squeezed to long-on

scythes this into the gap between deep cover and long-off. Stand and deliver. Too full and he got underneath the line to muscle that away

into the blockhole, squeezed to long-off

length ball down leg, Smith gets across and helps it to the left of short fine leg. Poor, poor bowling this. Easy pickings

yorker-length delivery down leg, looks to flick but can only get some pad on it. Sammy runs to his left quickly, picks the ball up and hurls a throw at the striker's end. Smith was miles outside his crease and would have been run-out had that hit
