United vs Zalmi, 3rd Qualifying Final at Dubai, Feb 21 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Right, then. Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators in the grand finale on Tuesday. Do join us for that. Until then, it's goodbye and goodnight from the commentary desk.

Sharjeel Khan is the Man of the Match for his century "This was a dream innings for me. I'd planned for this, wanted to deliver at a crunch time. I wanted to become the first Pakistan batsman to score a century in PSL. There's a lot of pressure in T20s, but if you build momentum at the start, things get easier. You need to take pressure in a positive way and not get bogged down.

Misbah-ul-Haq: Credit to the guys for the way in which they picked up. We were down, to come up from there has been fantastic. The bowlers have stepped up and the batsmen have delivered at the right time. The kind of pressure we faced at the start, I thought it couldn't get tougher, because we had experienced the worst much before we got here. We had nothing to lose, so came out and expressed ourselves.

Shahid Afridi: I wish both teams all the best for the final. Sharjeel took the game away from us, it was a special knock. The way crowds kept coming in was fantastic. I wasn't sure we'd get this far, but the boys tried their best. It's tough to make a comeback while chasing a target such as this. Had we utilised our first six overs in the chase well, things could have been different.

Let the selfies begin!

So, a lop-sided contest in the end, but we did get to witness a special century from Sharjeel Khan that set the game up nicely. Islamabad United have gained momentum at the right time and will fancy themselves against Quetta Gladiators in the grand finale on Tuesday. There was some hope for Peshawar as long as Shahid Afridi was there, but you just felt he may have not been able to pull it off all by himself, after the kind of top order meltdown they ensured.

Ali Cheema: "Islamabad United is the first team to win 4 consecutive matches in the PSL"

Ali Cheema: "its the first time Zalmi have been bowled out in their 10 PSL matches"

Talha Hameed: "The first match of PSL was played between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, the final is on 23rd Feb also between the same teams. "

Peshawar had two chances of making the final but after a last-ball defeat to Quetta, they have now been blown away by Islamabad

Shahid Afridi might not have pulled off a heist, but his legend as the crowd favourite remained intact as soon Dwayne Smith pouched the akier from the Zalmi captain, hundreds of fans from al parts of the stadum fast vacated the stadium
