Full commentary
6.50pm Peshawar have completed a fantastic chase. Brad Hodge kept his composure despite wickets falling all around him, and even with the required rate climbing, he stayed calm. Took the opportunities when he was presented with them and punished the bad bowling. Great chase that. Karachi's bowlers were really good throughout the first few overs but struggled to keep Hodge down. Karachi are therefore, entirely dependent on the result of the evening match. If Lahore win, they go through. And if Lahore lose, Karachi go through. Sets it up beautifully for the evening game.
Brad Hodge is the Man of the Match: "Boom Boom had some instructions for me to get myself in, with playoffs coming up."
M. Scharique: "One more possibility. If it is a washout, Lahore Qalandars will go through. "

Bopara to Hodge, SIX runs
slower ball which sat up for Hodge. Smashed away over the square leg boundary. Picked the length so early and smashed it.
Run-a-ball required from here. Wonder why Bopara was not used. Saw those offcutters and legcutters hard to get away in the first innings. Here he is

Usama Mir to Hodge, 1 run, OUT
ooh, that is close. Drilled towards long-off, Bopara does exceptionally well. Picks up cleanly and fires a throw straight over the bails. The bowler whips the bails off to find Akmal short. Superb fielding. Does that change the game again?

big hit. Six. Match-changing over this seems. Too full, allowing Hodge to get under it and lofting it easily over long-off for six.
