S.M.Ahsan: "This is Umar Akmal's show for you. One of the few responsible innings he has played up to date. A blistering one. Lions have roared and announced themselves on the platform! Again important game tomorrow.. Go Lions!"

Kieron Pollard "We weren't able to get early wickets, but we pulled it back in the middle, can't fault the bowlers, but with a wet ball, we should have made more runs, Ojha bowled well, Bhajji bowled well, pressure is on us, we have never won Champions League easy, it is important that we bring our A-game tomorrow."

Nasir Jamshed: "It was a good pitch, but because of the weather, it helped the pacers as well. we have very experienced players, seven international players, hopefully we will qualify. The morale is very high after this win, because Mumbai Indians is a very big team."

Post-match presentation:

Mohammad Hafeez: "I think bowlers did their job, the later overs were very good, everyone bowled well, the target... I knew one good partnership would make the difference, and Umar Akmal was exceptional."

Man of the Match is Umar Akmal.

That's a wrap from day one of the qualifiers of the Champions League. Mumbai Indians and Southern Express have lost today, another defeat tomorrow and they can pack their bags. Join us tomorrow to see how they fare.

Bumrah to Umar Akmal, FOUR runs

all over, Akmal has finished it off, he pierces the gap between extra cover and cover, Lahore Lions win, defending champions Mumbai Indians lose, Umar ends on 38 off 14, there were some nerves developing towards the end of the chase but Umar's big hits has made sure Lions won with more than over to spare

Pollard to Hafeez, OUT

Pollard's over seemed set to be the turning point after he was taken for plenty early on, but he has finished off the over with a big wicket, Mohammad Hafeez holes out to cover, nothing too alarming about the delivery, full and wide outside off, Hafeez mistimes the shot badly, and we are now set for a grandstand finish
