deflected between slip and keeper. Anwar finds the gap and finishes it off for Quetta. Short ball, possibly the slower one. Anwar throws his bat at it, and tickles it to the third-man fence

Full commentary
11:30pm: Phew, second thriller of the day! Quetta clinch this and stay unbeaten in the tournament.
Nawaz is the Man of the Match: It is a big event, I just stuck to the basics. I was not thinking about turning the ball, I wanted to bowl in good lines and lengths. I will work on my batting and learn from my mistakes.
Afridi: People are drawn to matches like this. The bowling was very good from Quetta.
Sarfraz: It was tight match, two good teams played it. We have bonded and gelled well. Anwar and Chigumbura did well and won the match for us. I believed in them.
That is all we have for you. We will be back tomorrow. Goodbye for now
