Zalmi vs Kings, 29th Match at Karachi, PSL, Mar 11 2024 - Match Result

Maintains his composure and saw him shimming down leg, the yorker followed him, he got an inside edge to Haris and can only get a single so in the end Karachi came agonizingly close to a win but Peshawar have won it by the barest of margins. Peshawar players are jubilant after ending the league stage with a win and they're in top two!

Thumped so hard into the surface and gets it bounce steeply off the deck, pulled away looking a bit ungainly into the leg side, scurries through a run. 4 off 1 Conference underway

Oh dear! Once again, gets it close to the blockhole, he gets down low and loads up for a huge biff over midwicket and ends up getting a fat inside edge that skittled away to deep fine leg boundary, now the equation doesn't look so out of hand, Jamal should have fired it at middle or off, or the wide yorker

Bustling in and bowls a good yorker dipping in at leg, gets enough on it to send it soaring away past backward square for a boundary, fortune favouring the batter on this occasion

Haring in and lands it on a hard length at off, he goes for a powerful hoick through the leg-side, fielder at deep midwicket charges in and reels a sharp throw at the keeper's end

Slung down full and just outside off, yanks his front leg out of the way and pushed it to Powell at wide long-on

pace-off strangling shortish ball angled across off, he clonks it across the line and finds the gap at deep midwicket, such a timely four, now Anwar needs to bring Niazi back on crease. 17 required off the last over, Zalmi will have to bowl poorly to botch this up

Firing it fast and straight at the stumps, can only prod it down to long-on, this is getting daunting for Karachi

That is a massive moment in the game! It nestled in the hands of Powell who kept his eyes locked on the ball at long-on and the ball was sent miles into the Karachi night-sky, he tumbled but made sure the ball remains safely inside his hands. It was a well-disguised slower delivery in his hitting arc, he took the bait and slugged it downtown, didn't look like he got enough and he has to go. Still some batting to come, can Anwar Ali roll the years back and hit a few out of the park?

Pace-off back of length delivery around the line off, forces it away to mid-off and dashes across to the other end, Karachi need a couple of boundaries, can't leave too many runs in the last over

Aiming for the wide yorker, almost in the blockhole, pushed down the carpet to long-on

Nails the wide yorker just inside the tramline on off, manages to stab it away to deep wide third man, that won't hurt Zalmi

Hits the deck hard and gets it to lift insanely, it's also away from his long levers, tries to cut but is beaten by the pace...ends the over with a crucial, I've a feeling this is going down to the wire like all of the games in the last few days

Backing into the leg side to make room and scythes this slower length ball behind point, big delivery coming up next

Don't go anywhere because this game is not over yet, Irfan Niazi slugs this full ball over long-off for a six, hits it clean as a whistle, such a sweet timer of the ball, power and precision!

More drama! Tad short and jags back sharply from outside off, he slinks forward and tries to tuck it away but ends up getting thumped on the pads, Haris is saying not to review this but Babar wants to take a chance. Alright, so here's hawk-eye. Impact is outside off and we won't go any further, now Haris may not be having the best day in the field with the gloves but he was spot on with that DRS feedback to his teammates

Wrecked the stumps! Came wide of the crease, fractionally shorter and just goes with the angle, uproots the off-stump, that is a cracking delivery, steps up to the plate when his team needed him, this is such a massive breakthrough, it was crucial for Karachi to have him till the end, set batter goes back in the hut. Fired up celebration from Naveen, punched the air in ecstasy, he has produced a crackerjack! Is that the ballgame gone for Karachi?

Clobbered! Short and into the body, gets on top of the bounce and tonked a pull to deep midwicket boundary, Saim had no chance to cut it off, beautiful sound of the bat, this is getting tighter

On a length and slanted across off, width is there, clubbed away insolently to deep point, Haris can't pick it up cleanly but no damage done

Takes the pace off, hammered on a length just outside off, wobbling a bit, slashed away behind point
