11.46pm Too good for the second night running have been the Karachi Kings. They first recovered from a faltering start to post 159, a score that was well above par. But then they came out and bowled far too well for the Lahore Qalandars, whose keep-going T20 approach hasn't worked in the slower pitches of Dubai. Karachi continue to hold their spot at the top of the standings, with three wins in three games. Lahore are on the other end of that spectrum, with plenty of work to do after losing three in three.

Shahid Afridi is the Man of the Match

Mills to Mustafizur, OUT

that's the game! Karachi Kings win by 27 runs. Another slower ball, back of the hand, Mustafizur has no idea of what's coming. He is through his shot too early, the ball lobs back towards Mills off the splice of the bat. And another defeat for Lahore.

Mohammad Irfan (4) to Yasir Shah, FOUR runs

Usman Khan looking for a one-hander when he didn't have to. Everyone can't be Joe Denly. A bouncer down leg, Yasir is not in control of his pull, takes the leading edge towards fine leg. Usman runs in, then runs back, by which time the ball has evaded him, bounced inside the boundary and gone for four. A misjudgement

Mohammad Irfan (4) to Yasir Shah, no run

back of a length around off, tapped back towards the bowler.

Mohammad Irfan (4) to Ramdin, OUT

wooooow! What a stunner that is, Joe Denly. That is one of the best catches I've seen, ever! That is an amazing catch. Short and wide from Irfan, a terrible delivery. Ramdin cuts fiercely towards backward point. Denly dives to his right, he tries to reach the ball with both hands, but at some point during his dive (with both feet off the air), he realises he can't get there, so he goes with one. And holds on with one hand. That ball was travelling too. A fraction of a second to react but there was so much thinking to do in that.
