11.45pm Hope you enjoyed our coverage. We'll see you tomorrow for more PSL cricket. Enjoy the rest of your evening, folks. It's goodbye from all of us at ESPNcricinfo. Tata!
11.40pm Really was a good game, some top-quality bowling from both sides: Iftikhar, Aamer, Rauf and Sandeep. This means that Karachi Kings move away from last place, while Lahore Qalandars remain at the bottom-half of the table.
Umar Bajwa: "Why Azaz Cheema was selected in place of Shaheen????????? Why Carlos Braithwaite is not playing?????? Qalandars lost because of Azaz Cheema" -- Shaheen has a niggle, and Carlos is playing ODIs against England
Haroon: "Imad Wasim should be out. When Fakhar hit the stumps in the last over his foot and were in the air." -- In the 19th over? Yeah, but no one appealed!
Salman: "@Sohail - On the contrary, I feel fakhar has done reasonably well. Sandeep should have bowled that over because it was crucial at that moment to take another wicket with livingstone and ingram bating. TBH fakhar didnt really had a decent score to defend"
Shahzil: "you win some you lose some but you have to admire the way haris rauf bowled the death overs"
Abdullah Chatha: "@Ameer For God's Sake, this is Cheema's first game in PSL4. And if you have been following domestic cricket, he was the highest wicket-taker in QEA trophy 2018. First class cricket also matters. Not just PSL. Look what has happened to Pak test team when you induct T20 and ODI calibre players into it."
Shahzil: "you win some you lose some but you have to admire the way haris rauf bowled the death overs"
full and wide outside off, and he cuts this away from his body to deep point
full and wide outside off stump. Flat-batted to mid-on for a walking single
low full toss on leg, and nudged to midwicket. They want a single, but quick fielding from Fakhar at midwicket ensures they don't. But wait! He gets a direct-hit at the bowler's end, and Imad Wasim hasn't grounded his bat, but no one appeals. Imad survives, when he should've been walking back to the pavilion. #brainfade
yorker on off, and he inside-edges a shot onto his pads. Ball rolls away to cover as the batsman scamper across for one
Sohail: "Poor captaincy here. Sandeep should npt have bowled 7th over and cheema must have bowled more overs earlier with open options" -- yep, definitely something that Fakhar will learn
full on middle, and once again, driven to long on
Six needed. Will they get it with a six?
overpitched on middle, and drilled down the ground to long-on. AB can't prevent the second run though
Ameer: "Aziaz cheema complains to not getting a chance in international cricket, of course your not gonna get selected if you give this type of performance"
yorker on off, and toe-ended to cover. Cheema isn't happy. A massively expensive over
slower ball, too wide outside off, and Cheema has been slapped to the point boundary! What a cameo this is
full on middle, and nudged off his boots to deep midwicket
Tanzeel Alam: "Ifkihar is proving him self with ball first and now with the bat."
slower ball yorker on middle. Worked away to midwicket for a quick one
length ball angling in, and tucked off his hips to square leg
Karachi need 16 off 17. Fans praying, not sure they're fans of which team. Aizaz around the wicket
another one! That makes life easy for Karachi. Captain marvelous for Karachi doing the job. It was full on middle, and he comfortably clips a shot over to the square-leg boundary
free hit
oh dear, Aizaz! Chest-high full toss, wide outside off, and he guides a cut shot straight to the deep-point boundary. Not what LQ needed!
Murad: "Anyone smelling super over here? " -- *raises hand*
Hamza Shah: "Best Moment of match was Amir stopping his celebration on ABD wicket. #respect"
good comeback from Haris. Yorker just outside off, and dug away to cover
whoa, where did that come from! Length ball, right in the slot on off stump, and Iftikhar has smacked the leather out of this ball. Into the stands beyond midwicket
length ball, just outside off, and angling away. Cut square - but with no real power - to point, who dives across the ground to stop the ball
full on off, and he mistimes a square drive to the off side. Two fielders congregate to clean up
length ball angling across, and he guides a cut to deep point
full on off, and he drives. Toe-ends the shot to Fakhar at short cover
Four overs, 34 for a win. 33 for a super over.
Over 20 • KK 134/5
