Bowled him! Fired into the blockhole, brushes Naseem's pad on the way and clatters into the timberwork behind.
United vs Gladiators, 10th Match at Karachi, PSL, Feb 03 2022 - Match Result
That's that from ESPNcricinfo's live coverage of Match 10 of PSL 2022. Don't forget us to join us again tomorrow when Karachi Kings cross swords with Peshawar Zalmi. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from Momin Butt and the rest of the crew!
Shadab Khan: "There are still some things to learn for us despite this performance tonight. We are leaking a lot of runs at the death which is something we need to ponder over. I am extremely happy for Colin and Azam for their performances tonight. I am also very pleased for my own performance too. I want to lead from the front and chip in to the team's good to inspire others. I hope I can continue this form throughout the tournament."
Sarfraz Ahmed: "We made a lot of mistakes in the powerplay and we couldn't hold onto the catches earlier. There are definite positives for us: Naseem Shah made an excellent comeback in the last two overs and Mohammad Nawaz played an excellent innings, too."
Colin Munro is the player of the match. "It was a beautiful wicket to bat one. I wanted to keep the momentum going after the flyer we had got earlier on. I backed my strengths and tried to hit the ball hard. Azam Khan was outstanding, he is a wonderful ball-striker and it's great to have him on our side from this year's PSL."
Presentations coming your way shortly, stay tuned
Usama Abbasi: "Not playing Will Smeed at the top didn't go well for Quetta ! "
Imtiaz Bahar: "Nawaz and Faulkner added 76 runs from 33 balls. They batted extremely well and reduced the loss margin when QG had lost 7 wickets for just 115. "
11.15 PM: A comprehensive display from the two-time PSL champions tonight. Their bowlers have backed up the batsmen's fireworks earlier to secure crucial two points and put United in the top half of the ladder. It is the skipper, Shadab Khan, who takes the honors in the bowling department for his quite outstanding 5 for 28. He plucked out the in-form Ahsan Ali at top before running through the Gladiators' middle-order and breaking their back. Mohammad Nawaz and James Faulkner performed a bit of damage control at the back-end as far as the net run-rate is concerned with some terrific ball-striking. But the United have got the big win in the bag and it will do the team's confidence a world of good.
Islamabad United have won the match by 43 runs
Out! Closer to the off-stump, Tanvir looks to smash it down the ground, outer-halves it towards mid-off who takes a dolly leaning forward. Quetta Gladiators are nine down
Full, wide outside off-stump from round the wicket angle, Tanvir fails to get any sort of bat on that
A terrific 47 off 22 from the all-rounder
Hasan gets his man! Persists with a short-pitched length, Nawaz is rushed by the extra lift off the surface and skies it straight down long-on's throat
Pulled over midwicket for six more! Short of a length, stands tall and thwacks it across the line towards deep leg-side, the fielder stationed there palms it over the boundary skirtings
Cannot get underneath this one as he inside-edges it into the on-side
Mauled into the sightscreen! Fuller delivery, swirling into him with the angle, hangs back to convert this half-volley and just clobbers it straight down the ground
Sees Faulkner shuffling away outside leg, fires it wide outside off, just inside to keep it to a dot
Muneeb: "Really happy to see Shadab Khan leading his side from the front with batting and bowling. Would be a great support for Baber Azam is upcoming T20 WC in Australia. Great signs of Pakistan Cricket!!"
Pitched up, outside off, squirted away into the off-side off the outer-half of his blade
Cheeky and effective! Premeditated another swinging yorker, shuffled outside his off-stump and ramps it between the keeper and the short thirdman fielder. Wonderful execution
Fuller delivery, angling into his pads, swipes across the line but misses to get any connection
Slower delivery, dug into the pitch, flat-batted down the ground
Fuller delivery, very wide outside off, as he looks to avoid Nawaz's arc, drags it outside the tramlines again
Clattered through the off-side! Fuller delivery, outside off, clears his front leg and creams it through the covers. A fumble from the sweeper cover fielder leaks a boundary but that was pounded really hard
Drags this slower delivery too wide outside off, left alone
Nicely bowled, swirling away from the left-hander and very full outside off, cannot get any bat on that
Fired into the blockhole, jams his bat down on it and scurries through for a run
Chris: "The better the pitch is the lower chance QG have of winning. Their team is set up to strangle teams and chase sub 150 scores. They don't have power batsman in their top 6"
Damage control underway from these two as fifty-run stand comes up
Banged away over midwicket! Geez, that's some shot. Stands tall to this off-cutter on his pads and brings out his favored short-arm jab over the leg-side. Times it sublimely and it soars all the way over the boundary
Attempted yorker, swerves in with the angle, Faulkner looks to swish across the line but does not get any connection. Loud appeal from the bowler which is turned down by the umpire. Shadab Khan decides to go upstairs. Replays show that Faulkner's got a thin inside-edge onto his back-pad and the United have lost their review
Off-cutter, drags it too wide outside off, left alone
