Qalandars vs Kings, 26th Match at Karachi, PSL, Mar 09 2024 - Match Result

Karachi Kings clinch a thriller Oh, dear, Zaman misses the marker and Shoaib Malik snatches the victory from the jaw of defeat, it was a low full-toss with a hint of width, he throws his hands at flays it away past point for a four. Karachi Kings are not out of the tournament yet!

Another superb yorker on middle, squirted away in the air to cover, canters across to the other end, can't squeeze in a second, it's not the first time Zaman finds himself in this situation, he is used to this role

Pitched up just outside off, shovelled away to midwicket

Oh no, chaos! Slung down full on middle, clipped nicely off the pads to midwicket, second was never on but Arafat kept sprinting to the other end, it was too late to send him back and Shai Hope calmly whips off the bails, Arafat stands in the middle of the pitch, looking very lonely, that's a sad sight for Karachi Kings, he knew every step was futile, fielder showed remarkable awareness to hit at the right end. This is getting tense!

Ambitious swing towards point and the outside edge rushes away to deep third, they scamper a run

Over the wicket, slow length ball at middle, he is early through the shot and it ballons up in the air, Zaman sprints to his right and pockets the catch low doing, it's a fabulous diving catch. Zaman Khan holds his nerve, takes a stunner, Anwar Ali just merrily chipped it in the air and Lahore Qalandars are trying their best to spoil Karachi's party and drown out of PSL 9 together

Chomped down the ground! Pitched up on middle, he exposes his stumps and launches it downtown for a four. That is a great shot!

Misses the yorker but no problem, he has whipped that straight into the hands of Fakhar Zaman who has taken a screamer diving forward, Niazi swung hard but didn't get all of it, oh no, the zoom in angle shows the ball bounced off the ground before settling in Fakhar's hands so it's not a clean catch, massive moment! Another twist! Fakhar cannot believe it, Shaheen is having a long chat with the on-field umpire, Fakhar is telling someone in the dugout it's OUT, but it all happened so quickly, the evidence is quite clear, it did touched the ground. it's getting tighter!

Getting it right in the blockhole when it matters, he digs it out back to the bowler

Wrecked the stumps! Gottim with an absolute cracking delivery, sounded the death rattle loud with serious pace, ball landed on a hard length and jagged back sharply to beat his lusty swing over midwicket and uproots the middle stump

Pace-off fuller length ball angling in at middle, walloped away off the middle in the acres of spaces at deep midwicket

Round the wicket, attempted yorker on middle, gives himself room and pummels it down to long-on

Bludgeoned! Now both death-overs specialists have leaked plenty of runs in the last two overs and that has turned the tide in the favour of Karachi. Misses his yorker, it's a half-volley, he went deep in his crease and thumped it away in the gap at extra cover for a timely boundary

Oh, that is classy from Malik! Slower delivery on a length wide of off, waited a touch, and then crunched it past cover for a boundary

Another low full-toss on middle, slams this in the air and just swirls away from deep square, Jahandad does well to cut it off, fielding can be so crucial in these situations

Goes full throttle and fires a low full-toss on middle, wristily clipped to long leg

Pace off back of a length at middle, he backs away and clubs it in the air towards deep midwicket's left, lucky it didn't carry to the fielder

Gets the yorker right on middle, plinked out in the V, long-on mops it up

Oh-ohw, bowls a wide outside off stump, extra run and a delivery

Oh dear, another one! Looks the carbon copy of the previous delivery. Misses the yorker, gets too predictable with the ploy, Irfan Khan gets low and ramps it away like it's bread and butter for him over fine leg for a four. That is high-class batting!
