Qalandars vs Zalmi, 15th Match at Lahore, PSL 2023, Feb 26 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Short ball, dug into the pitch and he rocks back to hook that way, ends up getting a blow on his helmet and that's the end of the innings as Qalandars outgun Zalmi by 40 runs

Goes for the yorker on middle stump, he lofts it over mid-on and didn't get the timing

Fuller length delivery, he looks to thwack it down the ground and can't connect properly

Play and a miss! Good length and slanting away in the channel, threw th kitchen sink at it but cannot get behind the line, another dot

Just mere formalities left now as he lobs on a length, kisses the pads and gets rolled over to square leg region, mixing it up nicely

Talat starts off with a slower delivery on a length outside off, he mistimes the pull and gets beaten

Goes full and keeps it tight around middle and off stump line, he defends it down the ground

There you go, Shaheen picks up a sensational fifer! Back of a length, nibbling away in the corridor, he wafts and edges it through to the keeper. What a fine spell this has been from Qalandar's captain, he has led from the front, he hasn't allowed them to get off the hook in the last few overs and picked wickets at will

Crikey! That was pounded hard over midwicket for a six! Manufactured pace for himself and pumps it for a six, solid connection

Length ball, aiming for the top of off, he plonks it all along the floor to long on

Stumps uprooted! You miss, I hit! Fires in a thunderbolt on a length on off stump line and Shaheen produces magic again on the same venue where he lifted the maiden PSL title last year. Can he get a fifer?

Pacy low full toss, biffed down to mid-on's right

Back of a length, sliding down leg as he follows the batter who was way outside leg stump, Saad gets a faint tickle and that's enough to earn a boundary behind square on the leg side

Slower on a nagging length and line, he loses his shape while attempting a pull, connects with thin air

Banged in short on middle stump line, he rocks back and goes for the pull, gets a top-edge that flies over the keeper for a boundary

Fires in a toe-crushing yorker, dug out to long-off, there is not much you can do as a batter when the bowling is this good

Goes full and straight, he presses it down to long on for a run

Goes for the yorker, tailing down leg, bunted away to the leg side and the bat is damaged, this is the second time it has happened in the day

Dug in short, width on offer, crunched off the backfoot and Rashid Khan leaks a boundary at deep backward point, Shaheen is not amused, it bounced awkwardly and spun, misjudged by Rashid

Fumble at deep midwicket region by Zaman but he recovers well and pings a sharp throw, this was pitched up on the pads and whipped away into the leg side
