Full commentary
11:20pm: Rizwan, who was left out of the Pakistan WT20 squad, first made a statement, striking an unbeaten 50, to lift Lahore to 166. Sharjeel then, who wasn't picked in the squad either, put a reminder to the selectors with a brutal 79. Watson also hit a 79 of his own, aided by some poor fielding. Islamabad ran down the target in 15.5 overs with eight wickets to spare.
Sharjeel is the Man of the Match.
Azhar Ali, the Lahore captain: It was a tough day. It was a 180-wicket with the short boundary. The second half they dew came up, and it was tough on bowlers. I think we need to improve out fielding.
Watson, the winning Islamabad captain: For us to restrict Lahore to 166 was an awesome effort. Sharjeel hits the ball, very powerful batter. I struggled early on and he took some pressure off me. The local talent is incredible. The young batsmen have some really good skills. It has been a exciting tournament. The last game was close and important.
That is all we have for you. Islamabad take their second win. Goodbye and good night

crumbs of consolation for Adil and Lahore. Watson has been snaffled down the leg side. Short and down leg, he shapes to pull. But can only deflect it behind to Rizwan perhaps off the glove. Watson has done the damage, though
