another full toss but Riaz can only swat it to deep midwicket. Adil does just enough to win his team the game. Lahore Qalandars win by four runs.

11.40pm What a game of cricket that has been. Absolutely fantastic entertainment. It to'd and fro'd throughout the match, as it normally does in T20s. In the end, it was the penetration of Qalandar's death bowling as well as Delport's middle-over spell that won the game. Zalmi lost the game by losing too many wickets at inopportune moments. Lahore have the win that keeps them well in contention for a playoff spot. Peshawar Zalmi have qualified though, despite losing.
Cameron Delport is the Man of the Match: "Slower balls were hard to bat even when we were batting. Was low and slow, wanted to build a partnership. We just haven't executed key moments in the game, but today was different."
Jawad: "Pure Classic and Pure T20 Match. Can't get better than this."
aadil140: "That over from Cooper was the difference"

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, 1 run
6 needed, 1 ball. Miandad did it here a few years ago. What can Wahab Riaz do?

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, 2 runs
full toss on middle, another hit-me delivery. Riaz smashes it towards long-on and they come back for two. Two poor full-tosses in this over but only two of em.

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, SIX runs
slower ball on off, Riaz smashes it over the bowler for six. What drama this is. Riaz picks the variation and whacks it for six. Not yet over folks.

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, 2 runs
shot, slower ball outside off, Riaz goes for a massive hoick. Goes over cover, and Azhar backtracks but fails to catch the skier. Two runs.

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, no run
lovely yorker on middle, jammed back to the bowler who does well to kick it towards cover in his follow-through. Riaz refuses the single

Ehsan Adil to Wahab Riaz, no run
wow, you won't get a better delivery to hit. Full toss on the pads, Riaz is very late on the flick and is hit on the pad. Dot
Right then, 16 off the last. How this game has turned, tos and fors throughout the innings. Adil has the ball

Cooper to Junaid, no run
nope, they do not get it. Just two of the over. Length on middle, Junaid can't do much with his swing. Slogs it off the inside half to the keeper and Riaz refuses the run
A boundary would be handy

Cooper to Wahab Riaz, 1 run
wonderful yorker. Nothing Wahab can do. Digs it out and the batsmen steal one. Match-defining over this

Cooper to Malan, OUT
it is the former. It is the massive wicket of Malan. What a breakthrough this is. Yorker on leg, swinging into Malan. He misses and is struck on the boot. The umpire raises the finger very quickly, but was that drifting down leg?
Dawid Malan lbw b Cooper 42 (35b 0x4 3x6) SR: 120
This could be the deciding over. The wicket of Malan or 10-12 of this over. Get the feeling it could be one of em.
Waqarahmed: "Threatening malan still there.. Lahire just one wckt away from their historical win over zalmi.. best of luck "

Dwayne Bravo to Wahab Riaz, 1 run
in the air and on the bounce to cover. Would have been out with a direct hit as well at the strikers end. The slower ball deceived Riaz

Dwayne Bravo to Malan, 1 run
right decision. Slower ball on off, Malan is quick through his shot and ends up pushing to long-off
What will Malan do? Play Bravo out or look for the boundary

oh drama. Full outside off, pushed to cover. He calls for a run and then sends Malan back. Cover cannot hit.
