Zalmi vs United, 3rd Match at Dubai, Feb 05 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
11.30 pm Peshawar's 145 did not seem out of reach, but thanks to some fine left-arm spin from Mohammad Asghar, it proved many more than enough. The uncapped bowler dismissed the Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq, took two blinding catches to dismiss Andre Russell and Sam Billings and wins the Man of the Match award. Has an endearing sense of humour too, says he has big hands like most Pathans so it's hard to drop catches.
A few too many early wickets left Islamabad in strife on a slow turner and even with their powerful middle order, they came up short for a second night in a row. Peshawar captain Shahid Afridi dedicates the win to the Army Public School kids who were flown in to watch the match. That's all we have for you tonight. Thanks for joining us. See you tomorrow.

Ahsan Butt: "Zalmi team is full of big names, and yet an unknown kid is leading the race for MoM award. This is what PSL is for."
slower short ball outside off, and I think this gripped and turned past Ajmal, who was looking to pull.
Junaid is here. Around the stumps
looks for the wide yorker and finds it. Khalid chops and misses
full and slid across the left-hander, Khalid made room again and ends up not being able to reach far enough to connect with a slice
